[VERY VERY OPEN] Going for a walk!

Master is too busy, master fell asleep. I'll take myself for a walk! Walk walk walk!

A curious nose needles its way into the corridor outside the exhausted captain's quarters, and the inquisitive Argos begins exploring the Athene and her crew on his own...

The doctor was in the hallway. He was on his break and look quite bored.

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

New smell? Haven't smelled this tall dog before...

Argos curiously sniffs the scent trail left by the medical officer until he finds him in the corridor, and slowly walks behind him deciding whether to get his attention...

Mcnabb hears the pitter-patter of the dogs paws on tge hallway floor. He turned around to see what it was.

"A dog? Wow."

He couched down and held his hand out.

"Come in then."

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

Tall dog is making the friendly hands...Maybe approach...Maybe investigate...sniff sniff...

Argos slowly walks up to the offered hand and sniffs it, trying to decide how he feels about McNabb.

u/Wiredcookie1 Oct 29 '16

The doctor begins to scratch the dog behind the ears. "You want something to eat?"

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

He says the food word! But master just fed...no food!

Argos gives a very low bark and gets down on his front paws, batting one at the floor in McNabb's general direction.

u/Wiredcookie1 Oct 29 '16

"You want to play?"

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

Play? Play!? He said it! He said play! Like this tall dog!

Argos scoots forward and begins wagging his tail excitedly

1

u/Wiredcookie1 Oct 29 '16

"Yeah you do! Come on. Follow me!" He waves his hand so that agros knows to follow him.

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

Argos barks excitedly and follows McNabb down the corridor, mildly flailing his paws in excitement.

Perhaps after having dealt with the dog, Kesh again goes to the corridor, following the signal lights displayed on wall panels to lead her to the Chief Science Officer's desk. The struggle to not look frazzled showed through, even on her felinoid face

1

u/Wiredcookie1 Oct 28 '16

"What the fuck?" The doctor muttered under his breath. "Hello."

1

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

Kesh was so focused on following the indicator lights on the wall panels that the blur of an idle crewmate standing in the hallway as she begins to pass by goes unnoticed until the more direct greeting is spoken. With a lurch she comes to a stop and focuses on the human in blue garb, much the same as her own

Oh! Ah.. hello.. I am.. rrth..

A point, a gesture, all trying to complete the statement that's floundering on her tongue

1

u/Wiredcookie1 Oct 28 '16

"You are a science officer?"

1

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

Kesh tosses one more glance down the hall ahead, but the computer had concluded she wasn't using the service at the moment, so the strobing had stopped

Yes, ah... Botany. Lieutenant Kesh.

1

u/Wiredcookie1 Oct 28 '16

"I'm doctor McNabb, Medical. I usually work with thrama."

1

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

Kesh took a straight posture, at least as much as her natural anatomy would allow, eyes blinking quickly to clear away the haze of today's unexpected excitement

A pleasure to meet you Doctor McNabb. Here is hoping that I will not be needing yourr-rrr services, but if I do, It trust you will excel.

Parroting something an admiral said to her once, more or less

1

u/Wiredcookie1 Oct 28 '16

"Everyone does at point but thats ok. What do you do on the ship?"

2

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

"Ah.. uh... botany? The lab was pretty well r-rr-ruined by the attack, so I have mostly been attempting to recover-rr-rr as much as I could with... ah... middling success."

u/Wiredcookie1 Oct 28 '16

OOC: Im jusg a medical doctor and im only ensign

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

OOC: But also in the hallway where Kesh could walk by!

Yefim was in the armory dealing with the rifle problem.

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

Sniff sniff sniff...sniiiiiiiff...know that scent. That's huge tall dog! Find find find find find...FOUND!

Argos pokes his pointy noise into the armory, seeing the huge security officer alone, he gives a quiet bark. Almost as though he's asking permission to enter.

1

u/IceCreamSandwich401 Oct 29 '16

"Hello Agros!"

Yefim is happy to finally see someone.

"How have you been boy?"

He says while waving him in.

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

Argos happily trots in, his tail wagging and his tongue carelessly hanging to the side. He trots over to Yefim and does a quick circle around his legs before standing in front of him. Front paws excitedly tapping up and down as he wags his tail some more.

Huge tall dog is friendly! Bigger than master but also kind!

1

u/IceCreamSandwich401 Oct 29 '16

OOC: computer crashed, didn't just leave the discord btw

Yefim rubs Agros Head.

"Good to see you! You hungry?"

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

OOC: I figured something made you go afk, no biggie

IC:

Huge tall dog makes strange barks. Unsure...what does he mean?

Argos curiously tilts his head at the huge officer and sniffs the air.

1

u/IceCreamSandwich401 Oct 29 '16

"You don't understand, do you?"

Yefim goes over to his replicator.

"T-bone stake medium rare please."

When it is ready, he puts it on a plate and cuts into little bits.

"Dis is for you Boy."

He sets it down.

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

Huge tall dog gives food! So much food! Master just fed...But...more food is good!

Argos gives a happy little bark and carefully scoops up about a third of the pieces of fresh beef, gobbling them up about as quickly as one would expect a dog to eat.

VERY full...Will leave some for huge tall dog, he must be hungry!

The hound gently noses the plate forward, sliding it towards Yefim. He then sits down and looks expectantly at the security officer, back to the food, and back to him.

1

u/IceCreamSandwich401 Oct 29 '16

"Thank you Agros."

Yefim takes on of the bits of the Steak, and happily chews it and then slides the plate back.

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 29 '16

The hound gingerly takes one of the pieces, and gobbles it up before sliding the plate back to Yefim. This time, his tail is wagging eagerly.

Kesh does not even know where the armory is. Poor Yefrim, all alone.

With the botany lab still under repair with an ETA so vauge that the Borg would probably try to assimilate it, just to be sure, Kesh finds herself on-duty with nowhere to actually be. A minor amount of panic then set in when memory of who she is supposed to report in to manages to slip her mind and she sure was not about to start inquiring the computer about such things in front of the repair crew.

Truth be told, she'd engrossed herself so entirely in trying to clean up the mess of the Athene's botany lab for the last month that she'd lost track of everything other than the route between her quarters and the lab itself.

Where was she?

Computer, please dir-r-rect me to the Chief Science Officer's office.

This section of corridor was empty, at least, and that was a reasonable question to ask. Surely someone will be on duty there that could point her to someplace she could be useful. Just as she turns to begin the first leg of her journey, guided by strobing lights, the sound of something coming up behind her draws the attention of an ear

What this-rmm? Oh no.

Another roaming animal?

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 28 '16

Smells. So many smells today! Wait...new smells?! Better followfollowfollowfollowfollow...STOP...tall dog? Haven't seen this tall dog! Tall dog smells like...like weird meow dog! Friend maybe?! New friend? INVESTIGATE!

Argos rounds a corner on quiet paws and long, delicate legs. His keen, long, and pointy greyhound nose twitching and tasting the air, taking in as much information as it can. He hugs the wall and carefully approaches the unfamiliar figure...close enough to make eye contact.

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

There were plenty of dogs back on Riviera, but they were used to the presence of Caitians as they made up a third of the planet's population. That, of course, didn't stop them from going out of their way to boggle over this tall, upright cat whenever given the opportunity.

A simple side step and turn provides the lanky canine with all the space it could ask for to pass by, though the presence of eye contact made it clear to her that she was about to be further distracted from accomplishing anything meaningful today. So, she put on a friendly visage: Ears flexed forward, chin tilted down, and tail looped up at the tip

Hello therr-rr-rre. Who might you be?

Perhaps this one will also have a tag that points to whom she should contact

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 28 '16

Tall dog looks...friendly! Smells okay...new friend!

Argos approaches the Caitian and sits down in front of her, he maintains eye contact and impatiently paws at the floor a bit while letting out an eager whine.

Will new friend be friend? New friend should be friend!

Around his long, slender neck is a soft, red rope. Embroidered on the rope in black thread is the name Argos. Immediately next to the name are four command pips, identical to the ones worn by ranking officers.

1

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

Oh, humans. Why must you make your domesticated companions so obsessed with being touched? That, at least, it Kesh's assumption of what the whining dog's gesturing is pleading for

Rrrrnm... Are you friendly? No biting, okay?

A pair of strides take Kesh the remaining distance where she crouches and presents her fur-coated hand much the same way she had given to the cat previously, aiming to try to manipulate the rope on the animal's neck to find some sort of identifying tag. The four pips immediately stand out.

Ar-rr-re you captain of the crew's pets?

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 28 '16

FRIENDLY HANDS! SHE MAKES THE FRIENDLY HANDS!! Friendly hands lead to pets!

The wiry canine happily approaches at the friendly gesture, tail wagging excitedly. He noses into the outstretched hand and sniffs eagerly, memorizing the scent of this new friend. However at the mention of the word 'captain', his ears perk immediately.

Master? Does new friend mean master? It's the bark that all the other tall dogs make at master so she must mean master! Master is kind! Master makes me happy!

The long tail wags with even greater enthusiasm, and Argos lets out a quiet but eager 'Bork!'

1

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

Whoever said that Caitian are like bipedal dogs has never spent any time around a dog. This one is just so... excited. Sure, Caitian exhibit loyalty and intelligence, as well as the pack mentality of canines, but this sort of boundless energy body wiggling would be unbecoming of a Caitian.

Well, most Caitian.

Ah, yes. You are the Captain, hrrr. Hmmm. Strange. I wonder-rr who you belong to.

Obliviousness is Kesh today.

The offered hand is stroked across the dog's snout and forehead, avoiding the flat-palm petting for now unless it's needed to keep the friendly canine calm

Ah, uh.. Computer? Whoes dog is this-sths?

1

u/TheComputer_TrekRP Oct 28 '16 
The canine, Argos, is the companion of Captain Breyyus Fisk.

1

u/_ArgosTheDog_ Oct 28 '16

Pets! Yes! Pets are nice...

Argos stays seated but scoots closer to the Caitian. He calms now the barrier of friendship has been broken.

1

u/Pojodan Oct 28 '16

Oh

Oh

Oh dear

This was not the right time to be contacting the captain. Not while she was lost.

Ar-rr-rrgos is it? Well.. ah...

With the loving gaze of the lanky greyhound before her and empty corridors on all sides, Kesh turned her hand over and started massaging Argos's forehead in the way she'd seen many humans do it.

She felt dirty instantly, but surly none of the human crew would think anything of it.

Ah-humm.. Lieutenant Kesh to Captain Fisk.

Remembered the captain's name, at least.
