Catt made her way down the corridor to Main Engineering a satchel under her arm. She nodded and greeted everyone she passed as she went. She had not been down here since her tour of the ship and had never crossed paths with the chief Engineer her entire tour. So on entering she gawpped like a tourist which drew attention to her. Not that she could go unnoticed being the only Caitan on the ship.
“Can I help you with something… err Miss.” A Enginner asked her walking over wiping his hands on a rag.
Catt was like most Caitans a bit vain about her appearance so she kept out of arms reach to avoid any possible lubricant he might accidentally get on her.
“Hi. I have something for the Chief Engineer. Is she available. I’m Cadet Bennet from Sciences.” Catt berated herself her uniform dress was sciences blue. He of course already knew where she worked. The Engineer said, “I’ll go see.” Turned and walked off. Catt lost sight of him while dodging several of the crew going about their jobs.
So she got as out of the way as possible and waited.

A pair of booted feet slid out of the floor level access panel next to Bennet, closely followed by a long pair of legs in a rather stained set of standard uniform trousers, one knee worn through so that the material was almost transparent. A hand appeared next, liberally covered in a greasy substance, the nails caked. It waved in the general direction of an open toolkit.

“Hey you there, will ye no hand me that tub o’ thorium grease there?”

The hand pointed a finger and seemed to indicate a largish filthy tub full of a viscous gel like substance.

Catt blinked looked about to see if the talking boots could be talking to anyone else and sighed heavily when there wasn’t . She put her package down closed her eyes and dug deep into her resolve then moved over to the tub. The general noise of engineering forced her ro speak louder than was her habit. She checked the tub for biohazard , acid or other warning lables. Sighed as she said, “it’s not going to fit with you plugging the access . You coming out or going in mrrr? Sir?” her voice lyrical with a hint of self depreciating humor as she moved the tub besides the engineers feet. For all her 4’ wiry frame she was deceptively strong and moved the tub next to the feet with a bit of effort seeing as it weighed half as much as she did. while she waited for a reply. She took stock of the damages to fur and her blue uniform and laughed. “Karma. The price of vanity is always getting the dirty jobs. Mrrr? Eh Sir.” Like most Caitan’s she didn’t wear the boots and in the dress style uniform her furry white now grease smudged legs would now be visible to the engineer under the panel. As well as the tail and the twitching tuft.

The legs slid slightly further out of the hatch, revealing the bottom half of an equally stained undershirt. The hand tapped the decking just to one side of the panel.

“Ach, will ye just put it over here where I can get at it now? My other hand is sortae busy right now, I’ve just got to finish greasing this coupling and I’ll be right oot.”

Catt moved the tub over to where the hand indicated and reaching in took a big greasy handful and transfered it to the engineers hand by way of a messy sort of handshake.
“Anything else sir?” She said unable to keep her amusement out of her voice.
