exsilium | 002

[The network contains no shortage of complaints about problems in this place. Who the Initiative chooses to pull in, uncertainties and angry demands for purpose, even complaints about the weather. But there's one problem that has, as a whole, received very little attention.

Until now.

When the feed turns on, it's clear that the video function has been activated, but the camera isn't aimed at anything particularly interesting (just a wall). All that's really noteworthy is a constant sound in the background, something between a growl and a low-pitched meow. Clearly identifiable as being of feline origin.

Yes, from the sound of it, someone is now a victim of Exsilium's stray cat problem. Or, at the very least, of one particularly persistent stray cat.

This persists for a few long moments until a female voice, carrying a distinct hint of exasperation, adds to the soundtrack.]

Does this [A yowl of protest later, a cat, a skinny, orange, mangy little thing, comes into focus] belong to anyone?

[Going once.... going twice....

No, seriously, someone claim this cat or she's probably going to cook it B'|]

I do. I can't bear to see it looking like that.

[And she can't bear to have this thing in her presence for barely even another five seconds. For the first time in a long time, since the Hob went up in smoke, she feels like she's making a fair trade.]

Then it's a deal.

Oh, wonderful! [Having a pet to look after may just be what she needs right now. She's been feeling rather lonely.] When can I come to pick it up?

901.

[Short, sweet, and simple. Given that she'd rather not try to carry this cat anywhere far, there's no other option but to respond with the number of her unit.]

I'll be there soon!

[She will be, she's already setting out!]

[She doesn't see the need to add anything else to this conversation. Not until, at least, ~~her savior~~ this stranger arrives. So she'll go ahead and cut the connection.]
