Hologram
[ The hologram is rather funny looking, walking in place through an unseen crowd, occasionally making weird arm motions that are either steering people out of his way or a terrible interpretive dance. ]
Okay. Nobody panic. There may or may not be a cat wandering the space station. Or. You know. Crawling around in the ducts. I'm not sure if he's in them yet.
For those that aren't from Earth, a cat is a small, nonverbal ball of orange fur with four legs. This answers to Niels.
[ He stops walking momentarily, but then shrugs and resumes the pace. ]
Okay, he doesn't answer to Niels, but he'll glance at you for a good four seconds before he goes back to doing what he wants.
If you see him, please, please don't spook him. Just call me. He's not a normal housecat - trust me we do not want him freaking out in a confined space. You should see what he does to his carriers.
[ It has, at least, occurred to him that everyone from an Earth is going to think this is a joke or perhaps that he's crazy. He might as well go for broke, right? ]
Um. Better let me know if you see any. Unusual. Light shows. And don't use any high-speed bouncing blurs of orange for target practice. You'll only make him harder to catch.

Do cats even sound like this?
[Or are we just murdering their native language?]
no subject
( Hm. Maybe it was a different sound? Rodimus runs through a few of them - something sounds like a mix between a bark and a cough, then into a terrible impression of a cow. )
It's totally 'mao'.
I'M LAUGHING bc I picked a matching icon and didn't even realize it
[Not an attractive noise Rodimus, you might not want to do that again.]
So you wanna wander around the station with me, calling him? Between the two of us, he's sure to hear us.
[BEST PLAN right?]
no subject
( What could possibly go wrong with two giant robots wandering around making cat sounds? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. )
no subject
[And stinking the place up with the alien seafood delicacies they're carrying around. BEST PLAN.]
no subject
( They've got this, there is nothing that could go wrong with this EXCELLENT plan they have. )
no subject
And he'll make it in four.]
I'll be waiting.
[Cuz you slow. Just sayin~!]
no subject
What did you do, suddenly learn how to fly?
action now ofc
[Old habits die hard, especially the ones born from the gutters. Know your territory: alternate routes, exits, hiding places, improvisational weapons. He doesn't even do it intentional, it's just stuff he notices.]
SUPER action obvs.
( Seriously Drift, it's not even fair. And Rodimus has done his best to put all that behind him since the moment he joined up with the Autobots. )
