Quinn bit the inside of her bottom lip as she looked around the room. The holo program was running well it seemed; the grand library, with numerous levels of shelves and sliding ladders, paintings, star charts, globes from various eras, and planets, and other things around the room as well. In the center of the room was a large chest filled with dice, made from stone, resin, and various other things. She was holding a handful of dice and was idly tossing them on the table in front of her.

There were also board games and puzzles in boxes on the long table.

There was a black cat with a diamond collar walking around the room, its eyes bright blue.

Quinn wore a loose-fitting ruby red dress and beige sandals, her hair was loose slipping down her back in curling waves.

She hoped that Cas, Gen, Zachariah, and Surda would like this adventure and extra insight.

Cas had spoken to Gen about the invitation from Quinn. It was her choice if she wanted to come, and Cas knew that sometimes Gen’s certainty about joining in changed at a moments notice. She was a child after all, and Cas didn’t want to pressure her to participate in activities she didn’t feel comfortable in. But Cas would be arriving right after her shift, so if Gen wanted to come she would meet Cas at the holodeck. Casela didn’t rush anywhere these days, she took her time, especially since the seizures were mostly under control but not gone. She arrived at the holodeck and pressed the chime, not wanting to enter until Quinn was ready for them too.

The doorway to the holo-deck parted to show off the interior of the room and Quinn looked up a cheeky if nervous grin on her face, “Come on in and have a seat, I hope you don’t mind waitinng until the others arrive before I get the actual program started?” she said softly, before she added, “Are you feeling any better?”

Casela took a seat on the couch, “I don’t mind, I came straight after my last appt. so I’m a bit early.” She grinned, “Hmmm....feeling better is a relative term, but yes I am.”

“Do you want a crossiant or something while we wait?” Quinn asked looking at Casela with a smile grin. She was glad Cas had made it and she really hoped the others would too but if in the end it was only Cas so be it.

Cobb was next to arrive, his customary offering of flowers for Quinn tucked under one arm as he entered.
“Apologies for my lateness,” he presented the flowers as peace offering, “had an issue on one of the containment decks. But it’s been squared away now.”

Then turning towards the counselor, he nodded. “Evening, Casela. How is young Gen doing? She has not popped up in my office for some time. Not that I’m complaining, of course,” he was quick to add, remembering how the girl’s silent materialisations always caught him unawares.

The black cat with blue eyes and diamond collar walked around Cobb’s ankle and glanced at Quinn, then the cat walked over to Casela and jumped up beside her and started purring.

Quinn accepted the flowers and smiled up at Zachariah, “You’re not that late not everyone has arrived yet, so we’ll give them a bit and see if they show and then, then I have some surprises for you. But while we wait, first I want to give you something.” she returned to the table and picked up one of the chests and pulled out some small items she walked back to Cobb first and offered her left hand palm up, in it was a stone,that looked like tigar’s eye in pattern but the colors were white, gold and rich veins of cerulean blue.

Quinn eyed the cat as it sat beside Casela and when it mewled at her she rolled her eyes slightly, shaking her head softly.

The cat stay beside Casela a moment longer then jumped to the floor silently, it walked back to Cobb and Quinn and waved between their ankles.

OOC: leaving room for the others to join in.

Quinn looked at her guests and then got to her feet. “Isis will you lead the way please?”

The black cat with blue eyes and dimaond collar jumped from the table to the floor waved between each person’s ankles once before it headed toward the bookshelves and to the far left corner and disappeared into it.

Quinn offered her hand to Zachariah, “I know this seems silly but hold hands and follow me please.”

Quinn lead them to the place where Isis had disappeared and stepped through the bookshelves, once between the shelves they paced on the sides of everyone over and over again numerous times until after a full minute of walking brought them out and into a wider space.

This room was filled with walk ways, screens of scrolling text, people and cats walking or running around.
There were several floor to ceiling screens with certains on the sides, every now and than folks walked behind them and cats walked out.

Quinn looked up at Zachariah and then to Cas and the others. “This is the Whiskers Hub, you are welcome here anytime you wish, the charms I gave you mark you as honored guests and grant you access to our archives and whatever else you want to know about.” she paused and let go of Cobb’s hand gently, as she stepped out of her shoes, “We are Isiseans, we have two forms only person and cat.” she gave a grin to Cobb and then walked behind one of the nearest screens and curtains, she walked out again in her feline form and sat near Cobb’s left side.

Isis walked behind the other screen and out again as a young woman in blue eyes and long curling black hair, “I am Isis, one of the guides, the others are called Emony and Hiroyoshi, we are record keepers and teachers. Ask your questions if you have them otherwise feel free to look around and talk to anyone who is willing to talk with you. Bare in mind there are some that will avoid you but don’t take it personally,”

Emony in her feline form was an Eypgtian mau, and Hiroyoshi was a Siamese, after they’d come out from behind the screens and curtains Emony looked like a 30ish eygptian woman with the intricate eye make up and cotton dress. Hiroyoshi was an Asian looking man with pale blue green eyes long white and grey beard and hair pulled into a ponytail, dressed in oriental cloths and barefoot.

Quinn walked behind the screen again and walked out slowly smoothing her dress down and she looked at Zachariah, Casela and the others. “We are not supposed to show others how we shift unless there is a really good reason for it or unless we intend to not hide any more at all.” she stepped into her sandals and looked at them again, “I willing to not hide from you, but I am not ready to tell the whole crew yet.”

For several moments Cobb simply stood, open-mouthed, as his eyes darted from Quinn to the shelves to the other cats and then back again. It was a lot to take in and he found his mind awash with a tsunami of questions, each one jostling for prominence against his tongue.
“I…” he attempted, before closing his mouth with the effort to shape coherence from the chaos of his thoughts.
“Are we…still on the ship?” the captain in him took precedence, his mind immediately leaping to concerns around security on this highly classified vessel. “Where did these others all come from? And how is it that they are all onboard?”
