Hologram

[walkingballpit]

[ 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.

You lost Niels? Robbie!

[She doesn't actually know anything about cats that doesn't come from a pet food commercial.]

[Given the sheer volume of cat videos that exist on Earth, Drift can only guess humanity had some strange neo-religion based on the animals. Judging by the way Niels seems to be the dominate one in this relationship, that only supports Drift's theory. Well, he's not one to question the apotheosis of a neo-feline religion so...]

What offerings do you usually provide in order to appease him?

[There must divine kitten treats in the marketplace somewhere.]

( Rodimus is sulking. He is in the middle of a VERY GOOD SULK somewhere far away from most everyone on Knowhere because he is 4.2 million going on five. But-- )

What does a bouncing light show have to do with a small fuzzy organic?

If it doesn't answer to Niels, why do you call it that?

I guess you could say ...

The cat is outta the bag.

[Seriously, is he the only one of these metal-morons who has spent enough time on Earth to know what a cat is?]

Pretty sure there's plenty more to panic over than a wandering cat. [A beat, because unusual light shows -] What makes him not so normal, exactly?

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the cat.

[He's a little proud of himself (on the inside, it doesn't outwardly show, of course) that he knows what that is. Yay years of observing!]

Although I can't guarantee if we see each other that it won't be spooked.

[He's kind of 30 feet tall.]
