Lieutenant Tito: Greetings and search.

[btv....@sapo.pt]

(( Science Labs, Deck 3, USS Thor ))

Tito usually didn’t usually intrude but he stepped up to present himself to Lieutenant Saa and he was already familiar with Ensign Talyra. 

And the cat also looked familiar.

Tito: Looks like the feeling is mutual…

Orlon, A:  Am Ah interrupting?

Tito turned, surprised by the new arrival. 

V. Saa: Not at all, just a drop in from your friendly neighborhood Ops officer and his assistant Ops Cat, following up a report of contaminated inventory which the Ensign is helping me locate. ::Motions to the cat:: I am also trying to find her owner. 

Talyra: Apparently, there’s remarkably little information on just what this “contaminated inventory” is, which is slightly troublesome.

Orlon, A.:  Ah’m Orlon Aislin.  Ah dunna think Ah’ve had the pleasure of meeting any of ya yet.  ::She extended her hand first to Tito.::

So this was Commander Orlon…

Usually Tito would just bow, but given the Commander’s enthusiasm he took her hand, shaking it as the others replied. 

V. Saa: Only got back on board myself, I’m seeing all kinds of new faces lately.  ::looks around almost suspiciously:: But Ops almost never sends me to science, so I currently on my own new frontier. 

Talyra: ::smiles politely:: I am only here temporarily before I got back to the Valkyrie, so everyone’s a new face to me.

Tito: It’s a pleasure to meet you Commander. 

Orlon, A:  Ah’m the new Chief of Science.  It’s nice ta meet ya all.  

Tito tilted his head and arched an eyebrow. 

Releasing his hand, the Commander continued.

Orlon, A:  You are Lieutenant Tito.  But Ah dunna believe Ah know who the rest of ya are.

Tito nodded offering a slight bow.

V. Saa: Lieutenant Velaan Saa, yes I am related to Commander Saa, genetically but not dimensionally. ::he made a little gun with his finger:: I’m the guy on the wrong side of the mirror.

Talyra: I am Ensign Talyra, an astrophysicist.

Sachiko: Mrrrrow.  

Orlon, A:  It’s nice ta meet ya all.  And you too!  

Sachiko: Rrrrrr. 

The familiar feline trotted a few steps away, 

Orlon,A:  Well, it’s nice ta meet ya anyway.

V. Saa: We do have to still work, little lady. ::he waved his PADD at Sachiko as if she understood:: Contaminated inventory and all? 

Tito arched an eyebrow. 

Tito: Is that what brings you here Lieutenant? 

Orlon.A: Response

V. Saa: She isn’t mine. I woke up with her sleeping on my chest and have been looking for her owner all morning, I was going to use the Ops chip reader we use in case a pet gets loose after an adventure at Pawsgard, but I got handed a work order and was sent here. ::he looks at the PADD:: Would you all mind if I use the console to review previous inventory intakes from Ops here…? 

Talyra looked at Commander Orlon momentarily before shrugging.

Talyra: Most of the consoles in here aren’t actively being used anyway, so far as I know. It’s been just me and the data we gathered from the survey prior to .. the whole … thing.

Tito: I was just checking data, but not dedicated to one console. I am sure you can carry your work here Lieutenant. ::turning to Orlon:: Assuming the Commander doesn't mind. 

Orlon.A: Response

Talyra nodded and moved back to her console.

V. Saa: H-hey… ::he sighs as she grooms herself before looking to the science officers:: So someone made a bunch of orders, doubling up on supplies… but I’m seeing only a few that would be of concern. One that requires specific storage temperature, one that requires specifications for atmospheric pressure, have there been any unusual readings or strangeness in the labs? 

Talyra contemplated the question before shaking her head.

Talyra: I haven’t seen or heard of anything, but I usually keep to myself in Astrometrics anyway. It’s not exactly in the middle of what’s happening in the science department usually.

Tito: Not that I heard of. 

Orlon.A: Response

V. Saa: I appreciate it. ::he attempts to use one hand to type:: Hmm, most of the recent orders have been restocks that doubled up on previous orders, though food for the biology labs were among them. Specifically, for those Seda silk moths and gossamer mice. 

Tito raised his hands. 

Tito: That’s a little out of my expertise. I'm an Astrophysicist.

Orlon.A: Response

Lieutenant Saa furrowed a little at the thought. 

V. Saa: I don't love the sound of that. 

Talyra: I know where the biology labs are and I can use a break from the numbers to show Lieutenant Vaa where they are.

Tito shrugged. 

Tito: I can join as well. 

Orlon.A: Response

Talyra: Very well.

Tito looked curiously at their four legged companion. 

Orlon.A/V. Saa/Sachiko: Response

Talyra: Is the cat … coming with us? If we are going into a space with lab animals, it might be wise for her to stay here.

Sachiko: Mrow.  

Tito: Not an unreasonable thought, but I feel like our furred companion has a mind of it’s own.

Orlon.A/V. Saa: Response

The cat sat up just a little, her ears pointed forward, her eyes focused upon something.

Sachiko:  Mow-ow. 

Tito: Curious, it's as if it's trying to tell us something.

Orlon.A/V. Saa/ Talyra: Response

Rising, she lowered her haunches and sat there staring at them, particularly Saa.

Sachiko: Mrrroooooooow.

Tito: One day someone should develop a translator for them as well. 

Orlon.A/Talyra/V. Saa: Response

Tito smiled and shrugged. 

Tito: Looks like someone wants a lift. Do you want me to hold up to your PADD,  Lieutenant? 

Orlon.A/Talyra/V. Saa/Sachiko: Response

Tito: I am certain that between… ::Tito smiled at the cat:: the five of us, we can figure this out. 

Orlon.A/Talyra/V. Saa/Sachiko: Response
