Posted by Lieutenant Issac Forgrave (Chief of Security) in New quarters, and guests already?
Forgrave made his way to his new quarters; occasionally glancing at the PaDD in his hand. The path was straightforwards enough, but it was in his nature to be sure. Not to mention, getting lost on the way to his quarters was a less than flattering story; new to the Manhattan or otherwise.

A large box, compete with an environmental unit and cautions in multiple languages greeted Forgrave as he stepped into his new quarters. He eyed it warily; not having been able to come up with any real guesses about what Bethany could have sent him. Assumin’ it was sent by her at all.... Sure, it was unlikely that the documentation had been forged, but ‘unlikely’ ain’t the same as ‘impossible’. And rarely was caution punished.

“Well, ain’t no time like the present, I reckon…” And with that, he keyed open the crate, standing clear as it opened.

-Forgrave, CoS

There was a hiss of air escaping as the seals unlocked and then a soft whir as the motors folded back the lid and lowered the sides. Inside was a decent sized wire cage that Issac would be very familiar with. A low narrow storage crate was on top, a small message PaDD attached on top. Inside the cage were a feeding tray, water bottle, and various other small animal paraphernalia. A soft gray furry ball moved and turned around in the far corner of the cage. The creature stared up at Issac for a moment and then a strong bang caused the cage to rattle slightly as the bunny expressed her indignation of being locked in a sightless box for so long. Luna hopped across to the front of the cage and pawed where the latch was. She wanted out and she knew Issac was going to let her.

Luna, Traumatized Lonely Bunny

Issac was struck dumb for a moment - sure, he hadn’t known what to expect, but he struggled to imagine a scenario where Bethany would willingly give up Luna. “Well void, I reckon you’re here now, ain’t-cha?” Swiftly, he knelt down and unlatched the cage, obeying Luna’s demands. Gently, he offered a hand to the bun, letting her sniff him before gently ruffling her fur. “Well, I weren’t expecting to have to share a room, but I’d be appreciative if you let me stay here, eh? Don’t worry, I’ll be a polite guest.” He chuckled softly at his joke. But then, in truth it wasn’t too far from the truth; and Issac knew it. He was an absolute sucker for critters; and was already thinking about how to make the currently bare quarters more suitable for Luna.

Luna hopped right out of the cage and sniffed over his hand. Unlike her usual busy self she settled into his lap instead of exploring. Locked in a crate for weeks had made the little bunny nervous.

Sitting on the floor, he reached an arm over to the top of the crate, snagging the PaDD and keying it to life.

-Forgrave, Landlord or Tenant?

The PaDD flashed to life. The first began to play with recognition of his thumb print. Bethany’s red haired, black eyed visage appeared. “Hi Issac.” She sighed and tucked her hair behind her ear. “I’m sorry to drop Luna in on you like this. I didn’t know where else to send her.” A pause. “After Dresden we all got sent our separate ways, and I know how much you hate the ‘spook’ stuff. But…I finally got my orders, and…well I can’t take her where I’m going.” Bethany shifted in the chair, her ever present grin gone, and looking more than a bit worried. “You were always her favorite person. Just… don’t let anyone eat her, she’s too small, even for a snack.” An attempt at humor. Most of the Dresden crew has tried to hunt Luna or feed her to their dogs. Bethany leaned forward as if to stop the recording and paused, leaning back. Whatever could have happened between them, Issac was her friend. She’d worked hard to try and gain his trust and that mattered to her, whatever her orders were. “Issac…whatever you hear about me, I hope you’ll make your own judgements.” Then the screen went blank.

There were a few files contained on the PaDD. Veterinary records and replicator files for food, supplements, and whatnot.
