................................

I am being followed by a small feline.

What course of action should be taken in this situation?

Take it home!

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

.......... Is that so?

[amazing-guy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Can you take care of it?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. The Durandal is still equipped to support normal human life, so sustenance for small animals should not be difficult to locate.

[amazing-guy.livejournal.com]

Amazing. A non-programmed sense of responsibility. At least, do you have a program that has you care for things in need?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

I am programmed to defend humanity against the gnosis. I am also programmed to defend the occupants of the Durandal. Since this creature was likely the companion of one of the ship's crew at an indeterminate point in time, I am responsible for its well-being at this time. At least, this is my current evaluation of the situation.

Amazing.

Is it hungry?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

................... It currently shows no signs of malnutrition. However, it is emitting a small noise at regular intervals.

[hajikemomo.livejournal.com]

It probably just wants to be petted.

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

........ Petted?

[hajikemomo.livejournal.com]

Petted? Like... Stroking it?

Have you never had a pet before?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

I believe I understand.

A pet?

[hajikemomo.livejournal.com]

...An animal that you look after. Cats and dogs are pretty common as pets in the living world.

This feline is now my "pet", then, correct?

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

Try poking it?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

................... It rubbed against my hand.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

That probably means it likes you! Do you like cats?

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

................................ I have yet to formulate such an opinion.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

I don't really know much about cats, so I can't say much about 'em either.

[vector-angel.livejournal.com]

........... Hm.

[selfmade-story.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I'm Model A. What do you go by?
