: : : Karina was finishing with the young woman when the purple feline leapt down and darted passed them. The klaxons and alarm, as well as the orders to abandon ship, made the doctor frown. “I just ‘got’ here…” she muttered to herself and realized all she owned in her life was still in a couple bags, and cargo containers, still in their packing phase. She hadn’t bothered to unpack in the few days she had been there. Too much had happened. A slight giggled escaped her lips as she murmured, “Well at least they won’t break before they disintegrate.”

: : : She helped Kaylee to her feet and frowned. “All right, you heard the men… let’s skedaddle…” She nodded to Vander and made sure Kaylee was balanced before turning to him. “I’m sticking to your side, like it or not. Cause if you help someone, it’s probably because they need my help as well.” Her words were not asking for permission, or tenderly broaching the subject. They were an adamant statement of fact that would lead the man to believe he had no say in the matter.

: : The cat appeared at the door way and gave a plaintive meow, it’s purple eyes were direct and unafraid. It seemed to be motioning to them with it’s tail almost as if to say “Hurry up!”.

: “I’m fine, you two go,” Kaylee said, nodding. “I’m going to follow our little friend here.” She didn’t think it was a coincidence that this creature had appeared just after their time traveling friend. Despite their current state of emergency, she felt as though she needed to follow the cat, much as Alice did with the white rabbit. Maybe even down the rabbit hole, so to speak.

: “All right,” Kaylee said, approaching the cat. “What is it you want to show me?”

The little creature seemed to be particularly gratified that it was being followed and start heading unerringly for the nearest escape pod. Tail twitching in the air as it ran it seemed to be agitated but at the same time calm. There was something deep down in those eyes, a purpose, an implacable fortitude.

“Kaylee what are you doing? We need to leave, just grab the cat…” Konral said before focusing on the cat. Something felt off in his cat as he began to reach his mind out to the cat. Even animals gave off telepathic signals, and he didn’t want to feel surprised again.

Kayee gave Konral a stare. “This cat seemed to want us to follow it. It can’t be a coincidence that it appeared right after our visitor disappeared.” She let out a sigh, realizing that they were having to abandon their home. She entered in her code on the keypad on the bulkhead to open to door to the escape pod. Then she reached down to pick up the cat, or usher it into the open pod, whichever it preferred.

-Kaylee Baxter

The cat was quite happy to be picked up by Kaylee as they got into the escape pod. It cast a reproachful look at Konral as he reached out to it. His senses weren’t so much being blocked as they were being misdirected. He got the distinct impression that the cat was trying to wink surreptitiously.

=/\=All crew, this is the Captain. We’re heading for the planet. Stick together and watch out for each other. We’ll see each other shortly. Koraia out,=/\= she said, still sounding exceedingly calm.

Kaylee accessed the control panel within the escape pod and prepped for launch. She set the cat on her lap as she awaited Konral and Karina to get inside the small pod and then she would initiate the launch.

-Kaylee Baxter

The cat deftly touched the panel making a slight course correction, then looked up at Kaylee as if to say… “It’s normal for me to do this right? Really, I’m just a cat”. Then proceeded to wash it’s neck and side furiously, almost in embarrassment.

Dan noticed a nearly full escape pod as he rushed into the cargo bay. “Hold up. I hope you have room for one more.” Dan yelled as he rushed over to the pod.

The journey to the surface was fraught with difficulties due to the myriad of ship pieces flying around in the ether. Due to some seriously hairy flight manoeuvres there were some serious contusions by the time the pod reached the surface. As the hatch opened first and foremost in their vision was the imposing flickering Guardian of Forever. The cat looked up almost apologetically and then bolted faster than thought towards the Guardian.

When the pod finally landed, Karina shook herself to straighten her vision. A hand to her head confirmed one of the blood stains on the console beside her was from her own head snapping into it during one of the midair collisions. It was mostly superficial so she wiped the back of her hand over it, then moved to those needing more immediate attention. It struck her as odd that the cat took off at a run, but she had never had a cat, so she was no expert.

“Is anyone else hurt?” Her voice tried to rise above the cacophony of those around her trying to gather themselves and get out of the pod.

Dan brought his head up when he heard the question. “Left wrist feels a bit sprained. Other than that, I think I’m doing pretty good.” Dan then checked to make sure he still had his science tricorder on a strap over his left shoulder and his phaser strapped low on his right hip. Dan hoped his DH was already planetside on one of the other escape pods.
