turns out, the sentient mold and grew and became incredibly helpful. Imagine the ground crew's surprise when people started talking about 'Kalten' and it was Kalten that fingered the crewmate... to hide the fact that he might have been grown on the tomato.

Are they providing seeds from that tomato? I want to grow my own space tomatoes. Though eating salad in zero gravity could be tricky.
There is a program for schools that has the kids growing seeds that visited space. I don't know who all participates, our schools do it here in Alberta, Canada.
My niece put hers on the schoolbus seat when it was stopping, she was absolutely devastated that she killed her special space plant. Luckily her mom was one of the teachers in the program and had some spare back-up seeds from her class.
This is exactly like the classic Sherlock Holmes story "The Case of the Missing Space Tomato"
"See? SEE?! I told you! You people are never going into space with me again, I'll tell you that right now."
I imagine it went down like people looking for the lost TV remote. " stand up you're probably sitting on the damned thing"
We can tell he did not eat the tomato, as he did not turn into a super strong bionic space tomato upon his return to earth.
