D’Nesh had spend most of the day checking every nook and corner of the Merrimack.She then made her way to the bar ‘’Look Joe..look what I found ‘’ she was holding........ a cat .

Joe was under the bar searching for some bitters. When he heard D’Nesh he started to rise quickly but only wound up bumping his head when he did. ” Arrrgh! Curses and just universal poxes of all sorts and manner on that thing!” Joe came up rubbing the back of his head and congratulating himself at his very limited cursing. He looked in the direction of D’Nesh’s voice and he jumped as his flew open. ” What?” he asked in a dumb sounding voice. ” What in the name of that witch Cassiopia is that wretched thing doing here?”

The Orion young woman could count how many times he had hit his head ‘’ I heard a meowwww and found this ..can we cook it?’’ she asked in a child like manner.

Ginger tried to scratch and bite the poor little greenie.

She was not about to let it go ,a few scratches here and there were noting to D’Nesh.

Joe started at the cat for a moment considering. ” No not enough meat. Cats are built for speed. Wouldn’t be worth the time involved to turn them into a decent bit of food. That and they are cursed little creatures. They cavort with spirits, they’re unwashed and carry diseases. Best thing you can do for any poor creature who is reincarnated as a cat is to put them into an empty torpedo tube and send them flying off into the void.”

Now with widened eyes the Orion exclaimed ‘’Oh they are ‘’ she looked suspiciously at the creature ‘’Okay I’ll do that ‘’ and turned around to leave, hoping she’ll find a crew member to get rid of it.

Ginger hissed at Joe. Just wait until Cara and M’Mera get back, he thought.

Joe hissed back at the cat and then as D’Nesh turned to leave Joe shook his head and cursed. ” Now at this point in my life women start actually listening to me? I don’t know quite what to do actually. ” No D’nesh stop. One simply can’t go about throwing creatures out of torpedo tubes unfortunately. Those things are frowned upon. If you must, then take the furry , fuzzy demon to your quarters. They do make a comforting sound that can make people feel good . You might enjoy it’s company. Just keep it out of the bar and away from my.. ” Joe frowned as he had begun to say something about Cross but wasn’t sure exactly what to call her. ” Just keep the cat away from Dr. Cross and her quarters. For cats are known to take a babies breath away you know. ” After this bit of ancient folk logic Joe waved his hand at D’nesh and said simply,” Go take it. Find a n old container of some dort for they don’t care where they live as long as it’s somewhere odd.”

At this, Ginger dug his claws as deep into D’Nesh’s flesh as he could. She might be thinking that she was the cat’s pyjamas, but no little green, pet-eating, gremlin was going to stick Ginger in a container somewhere odd, or fire him from a torpedo tube either! At the very same time he vocalised a blood-curdling, screaming yowl that could be heard all around the deck, if not the entire ship!

Joe scowled and looked at D’ Nesh. ” Don’t drop that cursed thing! It’s wild you know. Those things are never tamed! If it gets loose, we may have to call security and they may have to shoot the poor little demon!”

Kate had just entered the dragon bar and on hearing what Joe had just said ‘’Really little demon!’’ .So taking the cat in her arms and with a sweet-sounding soothing tone ‘’Ooo..you poor boy what did they do to you eh?’’ the N.O asked as if the cat would respond,then she looked at D’Nesh ‘’This is Ginger the captain’s cat and he would get really angry if something happened to him, Faith is suppose to take care of it but she’s studying and has to do her practice in sickbay ....someone has to take care of the cat’‘.

D’Nesh had heard of a man called the Captain but she had never seen him just knew he was someone very important ‘’ I’ll take care of the c…c..cat ‘’ and so Kate explained how to handle it in a manner that would have a calming effect and feed it ‘’Ginger can stay here and he likes to cuddle up with you when you go to your cabin’’ .

Kate then turned to Joe ‘’Please some sandwiches to take with me to sickbay,with Cross and Hunter gone, doctor Kim and I are too busy to have breaks ‘’

Joe smiled blessing his lucky stars at the intervention of Kate. Now he would not only get rid of that pesky cat and whatever evil it brought, but he could also get back to looking for the lost bitters. He went to work with a glee at the thought of getting things done. About thirty minutes later he came back with two platters stacked high with small sandwiches. ” There you go Ms Kate, Turkey, Ham and chicken club sandwiches. And give my compliments to everyone in sickbay.”

‘’Thanks Joe I will ‘’ Kate responded while taking the sandwiches ,she saw D’Nesh with the cat behind the bar putting some left over chicken’’ There you go Ginger ‘’ she said patting his head ..then gazed at the pile of dirty dishes and sighed ‘’Guess with that lot by the time I finish it would be time for bed ‘’ .
As an ex Orion slave D’Nesh had learned a long time ago to do what was expected of her and got to work singing a tune in her native language .

Ginger demolished the chicken and began to purr even more loudly. He was happy to stay here will they gave him chicken, but even so, he checked the entrances for a quick exit if necessary.

D’Nesh finished her chores ,she picked Ginger up to take him to her cabin for a good night sleep ‘’Can I leave ? ‘’ she asked ‘’ Joe why haven’t we been to the station ,I now have some money and would like to visit some shops ‘’.

It was clear that the Orion young woman had no idea she was on a ship....perhaps a question that would baffle Joe.
D’Nesh.

Joe could only scratch his head and wonder what in world was wrong with the girl. Was it every female’s sworn duty to vex men? Scowling he finally told D’Nesh .” We aren’t going to the station because we’re currently on a mission of some type. Why were you wanting to do some sort of shopping?”

Joe Milligan Bartender / Counselor.

D’Nesh was confused ‘’Bu..but when we were rescued they said we’ll stay at the station ,it was nice there with shops every were ‘’ she stopped to think meanwhile stroking Ginger ‘’Then a security came and told me to follow him,we walked some distances and he pointed to a opening, inside was a man dressed just like how men and women dress here ,he told me I had entered through the cargo bay and was nice enough to show me where I needed to go .So now that I have some money can’t I leave through the same open door in which I came? I’ll promise I’ll come back…pleassssss Joe ‘’.

D’Nesh

Joe hissed much like Ginger might after being handled poorly. ” You Lady! ” He snapped as the palms of both his hands slapped the bar top as he leaned across. it. ” That sort of behavior is not tolerated around here! And more importantly if Doctor Cross finds out we’ll all find ourselves in a deep hole somewhere! “

Wagging his finger at D’Nesh as he remembered her wounds he told her. ” If you ever see any of those men again you will let our Chief of security know immediately, do you understand?”
