Stairways and Hallways III
By Sirhc
Okay, some milk, a trip to the litterbox and I am ready for bed. I got my favorite blanket to snuggle in and I should sleep well tonight... Up my tree I go. Good night world.......
(knock knock)......Captain?
.................Yessssssssssss................
We will arrive at Tatooine in 2 hours. You also have a communication from fur fleet.
..................Ok, I will take it in here.
................15 minutes later.............
Captains log, supplemental. Fur Fleet has sent me frequencies and security codes to access the computers at scratching post 6 on Tatooine so we can find out what is wrong. we have tried to contact them and still no answer. Fur Fleet needs those litter shipments and to be honest..... so do we. My normal nap will have to wait, I must get ready to gate down with the away team.
................2 hours later............
Captain, the away team in in the gate room and ready to gate down.
Confirmed bridge, I am on my way down.
Chevron 6 locked....... Chevron 7 locked........ Gate is open.
Okay every one has been briefed. This should be quick and simple but keep your eyes open... we do not want any surprises.
Lets go.
...............seconds latter..............
Serenity, we have arrived safely. We see scratching post 6, We do not see any thing wrong from here. We will contact when we have more. Catman out.
Lt. Pia, Take some security and go check on the communications array, we will check the control room.
Yes Captain.
Every one else, lets go.
..........5 minutes latter..........
We have arrived outside post 6, How are you doing Lt. Pia?
We are at the communications array captain. We see visible signs of Tampering and vandalism. We should have communications up in about 20 minutes.
OK, keep your eyes and ears open. We do not know what has happened yet.
Yes captain.
Captain! We have a problem!
What is it Ensign?
Look captain. The people from scratching post 6........ There.........
I do not believe this. Why were we not invited? Serenity, this is Catman. We found the workers. Apparently there was a shipment of Romulan catnip sent here and the workers cracked it open. They have been laying here getting belly rubs and ear scratches from the Twi'lek entertainers ever since. But that does not explain the communication silence.
Captain, I can answer that.
Go ahead Lt. Pia.
There is a nest of wamp rats in the array. Apparently the mousers are offline, we are reactivating them now.
OK. Serenity, Every thing is alright with scratching post 6. I feel a little bit of shore leave is in order. Come on down, plenty of litter and catnip to go around.
.............moments latter............
Purrrrrrrrrr Purrrrrrrrrrrr purrrrrrrr....................AHHHHHHHHH (THUD).
Why did I fall out of my tree? Ouch, my tail. it does not bend that way.
...........a few minutes latter..........
Why did I have to wake up like that? I was sleeping so well and I did not expect to have that dream again, but I at least know how it ended. Maybe I should install rails along the tree?
