Mission: Mission 1R - Vigilance Be Our Shield
Location: Security, Boarding Terminal - USS Hornet
Timeline: M1D2

"Beep Beep Beep Bee.." The Security phased scanning arch had identified the black, soft-sided unassuming Cat carrier once again as a possible issue.

The Caitian Security Guard once again raised her brow, looking at Calvin. "I sense there isss an animal in hereeeee…" The Security Guarding the boarding terminal to the USS Hornet. The Catian had begun to curiously tease the top of the Cat carrier with her white satin furr paw.

"Lieutenant. Please." Hirsch had felt a bit anxious. He had a cat inside a carrier. There was a Caitian identifying his animal. "As I had explained." Hirsch had pleaded, not wishing to waste any more time before arriving once again on the USS Hornet.

"My cat is in that specialized carrier. She is boarding along with my medical supplies." Hirsch handed his passport and Starfleet requisition forms for various Medical Supplies he had explicitly requested, showing the Captain that his Cat' Babushka' was on the list. A stainless steel set of surgical scissors, overhead surgery specs, and a carbonized steel casing for his Medical Tricorder. He usually kept on dropping it on away missions in the worst possible ways. He figured now was the time to request a case for it.

"Shhhheeess a Caliccoooo OOooooHJHHhhhh Cann I seeee BbabbbbushKA?" The Caitian raised her delighted piercing golden eyes at Calvin. He didn't want to deny the Security Guard her request, fearing it might delay the process further.

Hirsch paused, lowering his head and breathed inward, and exhaled and then pasted a smile. There were crates of medical supplies specific to the upcoming mission that probably were waiting for him to open in sickbay, not to mention he had wanted to report into Captain Koralova immediately.

He was gently sliding the case through the archway scanner that was still beeping. Calvin had plastered a smile on his face. "Of course," He cocked his head sideways, not knowing the name of the Caitian.

"Mmyyyyy name is mMaTilllDAaa" She affirmed.

"I like that name, very suiting for you." He began to engross the Caitian with the conversation while slowly unzipping the top and gently taking Babushka, the Calico Female, by her underbelly and gently raising her to meet the face of Matlida the Caitian.

“Sheeeessssssss sooooooOOooo CuteeeeE!” She purred… "Herrrrr Motthere ssss must be soooo Prouddd!" The Caitian could not help but begin to brush and knead at the side of Babushka.

"Does she like pillows or boxes to sleep in? Does she enjoyyyy crème fressshhhh?” Asked the Caitian.

"Oh, nothing but the best Crème Fresh for Babushka!" He tried to impress the Caitian. "She only has the finest Saline massage bubbled baths, and then a vegetable and meat puree…." Hirsch noticed how Babushka leaned inward to meet the whisker kisses from Matilda.

"SsssshhhhhhEEEEE smellsssss Happyyyyyyyyy…. I ammmmm pleasssseddd… You may pass, Doctor!" The Caitian had then lent a gentle kiss to the top of Babushka's head.

Calvin had grinned. He was happy to stop and show off Babushka to Matilda. He had learned that indeed, as he had thought, his cat was a happy camper!

"Thank you, Matilda. You are very kind to Babushka. Might I arrange a meeting for you two when we return from our mission?" Calvin thought more time with Matilda to interact with Babushka, a member of her somewhat long lost, galaxies distant cousin named Caitians, was a good thing.

Hirsch looked at his watch as he had begun accessing the terminal concourse towards the USS Hornet.
