“Well if something does go boom we have state of the art burn chambers in sickbay. We’ll get you taken care of....” Hannah turned to look toward one of the tube shooting off from the junction. She bent low to look in, “Is that a…dog?”

Asimina, med

A large black nose poked out followed by a narrow nose and a long pink tongue lolling out of a mouth. A thick furred quadruped jumped out followed by two more. One white and grey, one white and black, and the third white and brown. Followed by the security chief. “Oh, hello Lt Ch’thaanaq.” She looked around, “And you must be Dr Asimina.”

Atoded, CoS

“With any luck, that won’t be…” Siarram trailed off as Hannah turned and then two large quadruped animals came bounding out of one of the tubes followed by the security chief. Siarram looked alarmed and awed. “And what are those? Who’s allowing animals on starships?”

~ Lt Ch’thaanaq, CE

Brenna laughed, “Animals have always been welcome on star ships. At first only to study but now as pets. Have you seen the captain’s giant monitor lizard?” The black and white husky found Asimina particularly interesting and was making friends. The other two stood near Brenna looking around curiously. “These are dogs from Earth. Specifically Siberian huskies. They are actually working dogs and carried a rank of private until recently discharged. We were just practicing some skills. I must have taken a wrong turn, I thought this area was empty.”

Atoded, CoS

Siarram shook his head. He had in fact, not seen the Captain’s monitor lizard, nor was he sure he wanted to. “There was nothing planned to be down here,” he said, holding up his PaDD, “I was just getting some old un-taken care of maintenance requests done.” He was watching the dogs curiously, as if still not quite sure what to make of them.

~ Lt Ch’thaanaq, CE

Brenna smiled watching Ch’thaanaq watch the dogs. “They are quite friendly if you want to pet them. Fenris,” she pointed to the brown and white dog, and the middle size of the three, “particularly enjoys making friends.”

Atoded, CoS

“Animals of lower intelligence don’t ‘enjoy’ anything in the way we do, they act on instinct.” It was a very Vulcan thing to say. But as he was saying it he stepped cautiously up to the dog and gave him a couple of trial pets, curiously watching the animal as he did.

~ Lt Ch’thaanaq, CE

Brenna shrugged, “We’ll have to agree to disagree there Chief. Of course being Betazoid, I have a unique perspective on it. While it is true that animals are much more reliant on their instincts for survival they do still have basic emotions and intelligence.” Fenris, the dog that Ch’thaanaq approached, sat and for the most part was still, except for his tail that was sweeping back and forth on the deck plating like a windmill in a tornado. His nose flared slightly in and out as he tried to pick up Siarram’s scent while holding still. His long pink tongue lolling out happily at the attention. “His name is Fenris.”

She turned to the doctor, “And his is Freki.” He was the biggest of the three and also the clamest, though that was relative.

Atoded, CoS

Hannah scratched the large black and white husky behind the hears and rand her hand all the way down to his tail and started again. “Dogs are actually quite intelligent and can be taught many things. My parents wanted to get me one, to help me when I was younger, but it just never worked out. Catawba isn’t really safe for small domestic animals anyway.”

Asimina, med
