Tigress spent the entire shuttle ride working on a little project of hers a Robotic cat with an AI personality. She had built the little thing several it was about the size of a fifteen-pound house cat. Despite the mechanical components working properly, she was struggling with the programming. So there she sat in one of the passengers east of the shuttle hunched over working from a data pad on the programming for the cat. Quinn the cat currently lay in a crumpled heap in front of her. He was powered off for now.

“ Alright, let’s try this again. You dont know it yet Quinn but you’re going to help a lot of people” she said as she sent the new program and powered the cat on. It sat up and looked around its movements were very ruff but it was moving. “ Hi, im Quinn? Who are you?” it asked the voice sounded like that of those super old robot toys. She shook her head some of the throws had to be mechanical issues. “ Im Tigress” She answered the question for the goodness knows how many times this trip.

Suddenly as if without warning the shuttle had docked. “ where are we?” Quinn asked. Tigress blinked a little surprised by the question. She had not expected it. “ umm we’re on the Odin,” she said scooping up her latest project. The cat looked around she left the shuttle heading to her quarters to drop off everything. She set Quinn on the bed and headed off to meet the XO. totally unaware that the little thing had followed her.

Eventually, she arrived at the door to the XO’s office. Chief of engineering was a huge step in her career and she was not sure she was actually ready for it. She took a few deep breaths and rang the chime. “Tigress what are you doing” came the slightly annoying voice. The humanoid wight tiger turned suddenly startling a few passing officers. “ What are you doing here,” she said her eyes going wide. What was she going to do the XO would be answering any second. “ did i do sumthing wrong” Quinn asked with a child-like curiosity.

“I left you how what” she stammered in complete confusion.
LT. JG Tigress

It was at that exact moment, that the doors to the XO’s office opened and through them, only a few feet away was Commander Mason Black, Executive Officer of the massive Starship that was the Odin. Coffee in hand, it seemed he had been moving from the replicator toward his desk when the chime rang, so had turned to answer it.

His grey-green eyes settled in the new Chief Engineer a moment and recognition settled in them. “Lieutenant Tigress, I presume,” he smiled. Caitians were uncommon enough that one knocking on his door would most likely be the ships new Department Head, and of course she matched the profile pic that he had seen when he read her file. “Welcome to the Odin, we.... what is that?” His abrupt change in words mid sentence was backed up by his eyes dropping to the robot cat thing that stood next to her.

Cmdr Black, XO
