Slowly the hunter moved towards its prey. It’s large bulging eyes. Watching the large creatures every movement. If it landed this prey not only would there be bragging rights for years to come. But it would eat like a king for a month at least.

Suddenly a pair of powerful hands grabbed it by its sides, lifting it off the ground. The Chihuahua tried to turn its oversized head and nip this interloper. For spoiling its hunting session. But its small snout could not reach. So it voiced its anger.

“ Now you have angered him.” Penny said.

“ Edgeware won’t allow you to have this in his science department.” Jane said, holding the angry Chihuahua at bay.

“ Who?” Penny replied

“ Lieutenant Steven Edgeware chief science officer USS Hornet. Your departure head dozy.” Her friend said.

“ No. He’s not the department head anymore. In fact I won’t meet them until I arrive at Cestus III.” Penny lied. She knew who the new Chief Science Officer was. Her. But Jane had just been turned down for a post on DS3. Mc Taggard did not want her friend to think she was showing off.

Just then the Chihuahua somehow managed to get its small body turned. It nipped Janes finger, prompting her to drop him. Sensing he had done wrong and realising a smack to his backside. Was on the way. The small creature began to whimper. Penny picked him up making Turing noises.

“ That monster bit me!!!” Jane cried.

“ You scared him….look at him he’s all shaking. There there wee one…. “ Penny cooed

The call came through that McTaggarts transport vessel was ready to go. Giving her friend a hug. She placed the Chihuahua in a travel basket. The small creature began to snarl. Sounding like a high pitched electric razor.

Then carrying in one hand the basket and over her shoulder a kit bag. She left for the transport ship. That would take him to Cestus III and the Hornet.
