Taban looked up and noticed the lizard. “Sir, is that reptilian creature supposed to be loose on the ship?”

Ens. Brook

Liam sighed then glanced up. For a moment, the annoyed expression softened then hardened again, resuming his displeasure over the situation.

“No, he is not. But I’m not surprised he is. He always seems to manage to escape his habitat whenever his basking rock isn’t enough.” He leaned over and pulled open a drawer, revealing a small tool in his hand. It was a screw driver. A piece of work that lasted centuries because it was pointless to improve on what was already functional and perfect for its job.

Liam pushed out from his chair and began to climb the desk. He paused long enough to give Brook instruction.

“Can you hold me steady while I get him down?” From his reaction, this appeared to be an incident that happened more than once.

“Yes, sir.” Taban moved to steady the desk, positioning himself such that if the commander needed to shift over, Taban would be underneath.

After Taban secured his position, Liam reached up and began to unscrew the bindings holding the vent grill in place. Once removed he passed it down to his assistance to hold.

The reptile wasted no time and crawled down, pausing on the CSO’s shoulder. Red plumage decorated its neck as it fanned out, appearing pleased with the release. Its head shifted then noticed Taban, curisoty obvious in its body language. Slowly it dug in its claws and began to scale its way down Liam’s legs, coming face to face with the new Officer. A bluish tongue flicked out inches from the nose.

“Careful, he might make a dash for it. Scales is a bit skittish around sudden movements. Last time he got loose in my office, it took a day to find him.” Liam said, replacing the vent grill and fastening it in place.
