It was about half an hour later, when some of the medical staff were awoken for an unexpected patient. It seems a MACO service dog was being brought in for a check up and eval of health and such after someone on Earth had sent the dog here instead of to Mars, while Mars would end up with a crate or two full of two months of toilet paper.

Two engineers accompanied the dog. One had a couple of PaDD’s under an arm and a box that, on some inspection, was marked medical, more specifically, veterinary. This was carried by a tall, gangly looking youthful Ensign whose short cut hair made him look all the more boyish, though the blue-grey wide eyes didn’t help in that department. A larger box that was shifted about by a Petty Officer, a shorter, wide set man whose appearance could well be described as forgettable, apart from the long, slick looking wave of hair that looked like it was trying to escape his head. He bore a larger, makeshift box filled with tins of foodstuffs, harnesses and other canine accoutrements.
“Sorry to be a bother,” Rick, the Petty Officer, said. “Captain suggested bringing Sergeant Nessa down to get looked at. Has been asleep in a crate. Uh, she was loaded by mistake.”
The tall Ensign added, “She is very well trained. Perhaps you can use her here? She has had training as a therapy and morale dog.”
Rick shifted the box in his arms before setting the crate down on a bed. Kneeling down he gave Nessa a good pet. “She’s a good girl,” he added, “Apart from likely being hungry, Captain just wants to make sure she’s hale and whole.” Rick looked wistful at the dog. Barb’s folks had an aging, mostly black cocker spaniel named Elouise who was the most jealous but adorable thing. He missed Earth, and Barb.
