[Maggie had been a bit preoccupied, to say the least, but now that she's finally starting to settle back into a somewhat normal - they aren't drifting, they've touched down a planet, things are less chaotic - she's decided to poke her head out onto the network.]

Hey, so I know everyone's busy with the new planet stuff but I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this girl?

[Maggie lifts the squirming pup into view of the feed.]

I picked her up on the last planet during the festival and haven't really had a chance to come with a name for her. If no one's interested in coming up with some ideas, I'm sure I'll think of something, but I thought I'd ask.

[A beat.]

While we're on the new planet - keep in mind to be safe, but should anyone need a Medical Officer for any excursions, let me know. If you don't know me already - my name is Maggie and I'm the First Mate of the SS Goldstone.

First, I wouldn't accept any naming help from the Medical Officer on the Tourist. You'll end up with something long and weird.

[He knows. He really, really knows.]

As for naming the poor creature, why not after someone from home? Or you could always name him after me. I would be flattered.

[Since he's king of the Dog Lords.]

Queenie, Baby, Countess, Dame, Dolly, Empress, Missy, Lassie, Sissy, Duchess—. . .

Wait, you did say it's a girl, right?

[ Carl sees the video from Maggie on the network as he's on his way over to her. He's feeling a little better- at least his fever is gone, anyway, though other things seem to linger. She'll probably want to check on him, too.

And he won't lie, it was nice to be around the little puppy. When he gets to the Goldstone, he takes his time looking for Maggie. When he finds her, he lets himself into the space. ]

She looks like a Sunny to me?

Anthrax.

[ SORRY NOT SORRY. ]

I always liked the name Sasha.
