Yes, Bas could have just sent that purple fucker with the lunch, and yes, Orb could have just ordered something. Let's not focus on that right now.

0398– 2167/07/07/12:03 - administrative area of Rosenthal
[Bastacia Marron is poking around the hallways, looking uncertain]
----------------------
PH: Excuse me, are you lost? Unaccompanied students are not permitted-
BM: Oh, hello Mezzer Hightower! It’s me, Bastacia, Orb’s spouse? They forgot their lunch this morning, I was hoping I could wait in their office.
PH: Oh, yes, hello, Mezzer Marron! I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you, it’s this way, I’ll unlock it for you.
----------------------
[moving to hallway outside Orb’s office]
BM: In your defense, I believe the last time we saw each other was the summer charity dinner of sixty-four, I had wings and a tail then.
PH: Ah, right, that’s what’s missing.
BM: I certainly hope Orb won’t be getting in too much trouble if they entertain a guest over their lunch break.
PH: For the heinous crime of forgetting a sandwich? Yes, I’ll be having them fired immediately.
----------------------
BM: By the way… is it true that one of Orb’s students brings a sexbot to class that can quote Socrates?
PH (pinching nose): ...A gravcannon. I’ll be having them fired out of a gravcannon.
