Brenna was called to the cargo bay by a very confused petty officer. She walked in, spotted the confused woman and walked over to her. “How can I help chief?”

“Well, Cmdr, I’ve got a cargo ship sitting out there saying they have cargo for you, but it requires you to approve it…”

Brenna nodded looking at the computer console. “Oh yes, okay so we will need of course run the bio filters on each and I know it will take some time, but I would suggest each one at a time, that way the computer can do a more thorough check. I will go back to my office and send the you exact coordinates for each. I already have habitats set up for each animal and they should beamed directly there. Then the supply cargo can just be beamed over all at once.”

The Chief nodded with a smiled, “Will do Cmdr. While I wait I’ll go ahead and beam over the supply cargo. Main waiting area of the pet emporium?” Brenna nodded, and made her way back to the pet Emporium and her office. She checked the ‘cargo’ order and sent the habitat locations in that order to the chief. It took over an hour, but the animals were all secure in their habitats and healthy. She’d get Little Tony to run the veterinary scans on them all.

Brenna moved towards the back of the Emporium where she kept the lights dimmed or dark all the time. There was a very special ‘pet’ that had arrived and she wanted to make sure it was extremely comfortable. It had come all the way from Janus VI and was still unhatched. The silicone of the shell, after scans, showed it was undamaged and developing at a normal rate. She had the Teflon required for the necessary coating needed to protect the child from the oxygenated environment. It would take time to know if it would be safe in other environments without the coating.

=^=Lt Cmdr Atoded to Cpt Zarcal. I believe I have a very important delivery in my office for you.=^=

She then sent out a message to the crew, reminding them to come pick out a pet.

The distinct odor of cigarette smoke assaulted the Commander’s nostrils; only shortly before an recently-familiar voice announced their presence from behind the Chief of Pets. “Hey uh, boss? We got’s about a dozen crates of Andorian crickets back here, whatchu want done wit’ em? Filling the hallway leading to the ‘staff only’ portion of the Pet emporium stood ‘Little’ Tony, a not-so-little Orion man; hands occupied by one of the aforementioned crates. Standing next to him was a small Trill woman; known as Tony the Sneak; perpetual scowl at full force; and smoking a cigarette as though she actively wished it harm.

“TONYS!!!!!!!” Brenna smiled as she turned. She loved the Tonys. Couldn’t get enough of them. She’d have them ALL in her department if she had work for them. But ‘Little’ Tony was her favorite. Something about big green men....like the hulk. She laughed to herself. “Storage room 3. The temperature is cooler in there and will keep them alive longer. Good thing they came in too. That Frost Beetle Lily is getting more aggressive and very hungry.” Brenna tapped a command on her desk to increase the air intake to clear out the smoke. She didn’t care if Tony the Sneak had one, but the smoke was bad for some of the animals. So now everyone was happy.

Zarcal heard the chime and didn’t bother to send a verbal response, he was closely anyways and figured he’d make his way down to the emporium. It was a unique concept to be honest, something of an old style ‘store’ that sold creatures for comfort or support, something that the Zaranite found almost quaint. He had made a special request to the Commander regarding an ‘adoption’ from Federation member Janus VI. Zarcal had been posted to the planet as a diplomat for a few years before his promotion to Captain and had grown quite close to the native species, and was thought of highly in the care and tact he showed to them and their cause.

Upon entering the room the cloud of smoke wouldn’t bother him given his breathing mask, but his VISOR was able to pick up the vastly higher nicotine content in the air and watched it being suched out of the vents as the sound of the ventilation system was pronounced. He saw some crewmembers bustling around and with a smile under his mask he said, “Good morning, Tony and also Tony, will you tell me where Commander Atoded is?” He didn’t remember reading about them on the manifest and to be honest he didn’t know exactly how he knew their names. The Tonys seemed to be everywhere and anywhere when needed, but if Zarcal tried to look into them or find their files he would get lost in thought or end up on another problem entirely. They were quite the anomaly.
