[ Abby's kept clear of the network despite having been on Tranquility for a month - partly because being social on a death ship wasn't her first priority, partly because most of her questions could be easily answered by Connor.

But if there's anything that can make her come out of her shell, it's animals. Animals and dinosaurs, which apparently exist here (at least the one does). The feed opens on her face, but the gardens are easily visible behind her. ]

This is Abby Maitland with the theoretical zoology department. [ She sounds only mildly aggrieved, mostly friendly. ]

Is there an official system for tracking the animals loose in the gardens? The ecosystem has managed fine thus far, but we might want to be more careful about interfering with it unchecked. I'm not even sure what some of these animals are eating. [ Hello, Myfanwy. ]

Enclosures might not be a bad idea either. I hate to lock anything up, but it would be in everyone's best interest if we can easily find them during emergencies - theirs included.

She's safe.

She's with you, then? [ More of a figurative than literal 'with you'. Abby doesn't usually think of animals in terms of ownership. ]

Do you mind if I ask your name?

[puppydogeyes]

No.
But she's looked after.
+ controlled.
They wouldn't like you trying to track her.

Tyke.
Head of SEC.

Nice to meet you. And thank you. [ Security on this thing is definitely not a job she's jealous of. ]

I'm sure everyone's safe from the animals, they've done just fine so far. But we were working on a more accurate system for tracking the people here, might not hurt to sort one out for the animals too.

Who's 'they'?

Not everyone's going to be okay with being tracked.
If there was a threat I'd deal with it.
They want to tell you, they will.

[She doesn't get quite why the Starks are being particularly weird about Nymeria, but she isn't going to flip the lid on it without their word.]

Not live tracking for people. Lists of current passengers and previous ones.

And I'll keep my ears open, then.

Howbout everyone else down here.

[puppydogeyes]

That's what I meant.

[Not completely true. She'd meant it both ways.]

[handelaar]

Explain.

[Hey at least he doesn't sound irritated. Just equal parts bored and demanding.]

She's controlled + looked after.
Not going to hurt anyone.
Not starving or neglected.
She's safe.

Tell me if it changes.
