Becker watches Inman make synthetic flavors.

"Variety" is the 13th webisode of the Stargate Universe Kino webisodes series.

Story[edit | edit source]

A Kino is standing near one of the labs on the ship, where Darren Becker is observing Dr. Inman, who is trying to replicate certain chemicals to make flavours in the water to make the rations more palatable. She hands Becker a sample, who smells it, noticing the aroma of banana. Inman says it is possible to replicate esters to several kinds of fruit. When Becker suggests they should make chocolate, Inman says that that requires 12,000 chemicals, and no scientist is able to replicate the taste of chocolate properly. As Becker continues to talk, they hear and feel an explosion nearby (possibly the one where Hunter Riley gets injured), not knowing what just happened. The two, as well as other curious crew members move to investigate what has transpired.

Notes[edit | edit source]

This webisode takes place after "Water"^[1] and probably during "Earth" when Hunter Riley is injured by an explosion.
Darren Becker mentions that Valentine's Day is approaching, placing SGU Season 1 first episodes' events at the beginning of 2009.
