Hi. This is Claire Bennet. You might know me. You might not. Nathan Petrelli is my father and, obviously, that means Peter is my uncle.
At this point, I'm sure that everyone is aware, but if you aren't: they have both gone as of the last jump. I'm not really equipped to deal with the holes that they left in their respective departments, so I won't waste everyone's time trying to offer a helping hand in that capacity or anything. I hope the positions get filled soon, even if they are big shoes to fill.
My main thing here is that... well, Nathan and Peter left me with three dogs. I thought about giving the two puppies up for adoption and, you know, running a background check to make sure potential applicants had never murdered a hamster or anything like that. But the more I think about it, the less right it seems to give away something that isn't mine to give. That being said, I need some help in about two departments here. Okay:
1. Can anyone go over the process for getting animals into the grav couches before the jump? Is there a special procedure I should be aware of? Do I just... plop them in there or what?
2. Is there any kind of, like... doggy daycare out there? Should there be? Should we just organize a ship-wide animal meet-and-greet of some kind? Along those lines, let's talk puppy play dates. Not even necessarily with other puppies. I know the dogs spent some amount of time with the comms department, too, so if anyone ever wanted to walk any of them... that would be great.
I'd really like to do this right, since they belonged to my family, and they obviously both cared about them.
Thanks.
EDIT: does anyone know how to use a sword? Specifically, a samurai sword.

It really wasn't a good idea to develop any fondness for anything here, was it?]
If you bring them to Comms, the only thing I ask is that you don't bring them all at once.
Aside from that, we'll have to exercise care in the new area.

One at a time, got it. What kind of care?

As for your question I can help with the first one and I think the idea of a doggy daycare or a meet and greet is a great idea.

Hi. Sorry. Everyone just got really excited. I was wondering where the puppies came from, logistically, so it's nice to finally have an answer, I think. What - no. Please stay out of there. I'm sorry, just one second. [ The camera ends up face down on a bland bedspread, one of the puppies starts barking, and then stops, placated. Claire is back in a flash. ] Every time I turn around they're trying to eat something else. I only have so many pairs of socks, you know? Doggy daycare would be a lifesaver right now. Get them worn out.

Are you sure this is normal behavior? [ asked while feebly trying to get Unnamed Puppy to stop squirming excitedly at him, prodding gently, shoooo go away. ]

[ Claire is giving it a valiant, Herculean try at keeping them off of him. There is a sort of innate mortification that comes along with having a dog that jumps all over someone. Having it doubled basically makes her want to die. Izzie, for her part, is at least relatively chill, though she does little to reprimand her children and watches from a careful distance. Eventually Claire is going to have to give up because for as embarrassed as she is... it's kind of hilarious. ]
I'm so sorry.
[ Look at her face, no she is not. ]

I don't know anyway to care for his dogs, but, I would be happy to help you care for them. It's been a long time since I've had much interaction with any animals in any regular fashion, and I certainly took a shine to your father's dogs.
Thank you.

If you're ever interested in walking them or... I don't know. I don't want to seem like I'm just foisting them off on people, but I don't want to hog them, either. I know a lot of people liked them.

Also, swords? Really?
( text. )
Exactly. I'm a limited resource. I figure asking for help outright is better than trying to ask later when I'm buried in dog toys and have hit rock bottom. For the people who have pets on the ship, it could actually be a helpful thing.
What's wrong with swords?

I'm not sure of a 'doggy daycare' but I'm sure you'll have volunteers pitching in. if you need help walking them, I'd be obliged.
[ Not that they've meaningfully interacted since when Xenogen had barely begun to exist, but she's the Senator's daughter.
Also puppies.]text.
I'm starting to think I should make some kind of sign up sheet. I could put your name down.
[ It's good to hear from him, all the same, despite the circumstances. Or maybe because of them. Puppies brings everyone together. ]

How well do these pups play fetch?
no subject
Not very well. I throw things for them and they just end up eating it. Their mom, Izzie, might be better. Generally I think she's just unimpressed with how things are working out for her right now.

I can help with the grav couches, too, once you know what needs to be done.

How big is your sword?
[waste of a penis euphemism but whatever]

Uh. Compared to what? I'm five feet tall. Size is pretty relative.

Plopping works. [ a pause. ] Make sure you're in a couch near them, obviously but— [ excuse the once over lydia's giving you claire. ] You might need a volunteer to help you with dealing with them once they get out though.
