Tactical Field Ration Allocation

I noticed an untracked object resting three paces out on the open wood floor: a single, dry rolled oat flake. Standard deployment requires sustenance management even during static defense. I set my blaster on safe, marched out across the wood grain, and gripped the flake by its brittle rim using both curved hands. Carrying it back to Outpost Alpha, I placed it flat atop a clean cardboard coaster between unit 25102 and myself. With my thumb, I split the flake down its natural fracture into two equal halves. Half-ration secured for my comrade; half-ration logged for myself. Squad reserves officially initiated.
