Panel 1:
Back in the snack bar …
BRUNO: The dining room is upstairs. We have to use the elevator.
GISELLE: Quite low, zese doorways, mezinks.
BRUNO: Although it looks like a misconstruction today, there's a long story
behind it.
VILIS: Get me through! I'm hungry!
Panel 2:
In the dining room, above the snack bar.
GISELLE: Boshe moi! (My goodness!)
When we were training at school just now … Did I get in ze way a lot?
BRUNO: At least we managed to prevent a reactor core meltdown.
VILIS: Barely!
MIIKO: After dinner - and before the cozy get-together - you get changed!
GISELLE: All right. Now what's zet we're eating?
BRUNO: Home-made Mars schnitzel with delicious sauce and Mars noodles.
Panel 3:
GISELLE: I know: bland is ‘ealzy, but is zere anything ’ere zet makes zis dish spicier?
BRUNO: Haha, I've already asked! Ivan's answer was: In principle, yes. Since then I've been waiting in vain for tasty spices.
GISELLE: Isn't it you ‘o’s responsible for ‘ouse’old and kitchen matters?
BRUNO: In principle, yes, but I'm a biologist by training, not a chef. And I'll never become a chef either.

hmmm...Mars schnitzel, and Mars noodles? I'll just have noodles, thanks

Unlike you, they have no choice. They are on a Mars diet for the rest of their trip.

So the place was designed & constructed by Dwarves.

There used to be a height limit for Mars crews. Back then, when the Russians were still in charge and you landed back on Earth with a Soyuz sphere. It was actually a useful thing.

Someone in NASA has said that Martian soil would be perfect for growing jalapeños. Lol

In fact, the lessons in which Giselle would have to deal with her crop habitat have not even begun yet.

Hey, anybody got a green thumb? Grow some mustard seed and peppers. Both have varieties that do well in sandy soil, just need some heat.

Actually, both biologists are supposed to specialize in such questions. But since Prof. Stehlîk is more concerned with cryobiology and is only allowed to go to Mars because of his famous name, Giselle should be the right person for these questions. Should.
