What's next?

Introducing Daisy Ridley as Dr Audrey Eht

"Doctor Audrey Eht." The young woman replied, "Where did you come from in that... thing?"

"That thing is a highly technologically advanced ship." The Superintendent replied with a whiff of superiority.

"Don't mind her, she's very protective of the silly old thing." Amy replied, stepping out of the ship, "I'm Amy, she's The Superintendent."

"And you travel in that... ship?" Audrey looked at the booth, "Is it just the two of you, or are there more still? It must be very snug in there."

"It's roomier than you'd expect." The Superintendent replied, "This may seem like an odd question but, where are we?"

"Deep space research station 636, in sector Gamma-4." Audrey replied.

"Right, right. And you're researching...?"

"Using nanobots to assist with farming." Audrey replied, "They may be tiny, but imagine, you know, the damage a swarm of insects can do to a field of crops. And then, and then, then, think what it would be like if that swarm, instead of harming the crops, could, you know, help them instead."

"Tiny little farming robots." The Superintendent nodded, "A fun little project, and not something that should have any effect on my ship."

"Fun little project?" Audrey repeated with a frown as The Superintendent walked off, moving papers and tools around on desks.

"Don't mind her," Amy advised, "she gets grumpy when the ship misbehaves."

"Are you the only one here?" The Superintendent asked, turning back to Audrey.

"No, there's a few more working on the lower levels." Audrey replied, "Similar work, all to do with improving farming, feeding, you know, er, reducing hunger."

"And they send you out to the depths of space to do it?" The Superintendent asked.

"Well, it's for safety, you see." Audrey replied, "Some of the projects are dangerous."

"Feeding the hungry dangerously." The Superintendent smiled, "I think I should meet the others."
