Cobbled Together

 Cobbled Together  is a short story by the pseudonymous jespah.

The story is told from the perspective of Malcolm Reed, during a neutronic storm while serving on the Enterprise.

On September 21, 2152, Reed and the remainder of the Enterprise's crew are forced to take refuge in the ship's catwalk.

In order to pass the time, the crew play poker, betting with dessert packs from their rations. Malcolm plays a round with Hoshi Sato, Charles Tucker III and Tristan Curtis. Being lactose intolerant, Reed seeks to get rid of his dairy-based desserts as quickly as possible, when he spots Curtis tossing in a pack of artificially-flavored pineapple cobbler.
