[Accidental video post]

[There's a bunch of noise and static before people see a cat paw clawing at the screen and a curious meow coming from it. Eventually the screen becomes less blurry as they see an up close view of an orange tabby kitten trying to chew the top corner of the data pad.

There's some noise in the background of someone taking apart a heavy metal piece. That quickly stops and there's some clanking as tools are placed down and a wary sigh follows.]

Millicent! What did I say about leaving that alone?! You have your own toys to play with.

[The feed is abruptly turned off as a gloved hand picks up the orange tabby and pockets the device.]

I just recently received her. She was a gift from the Tree. I've never dealt with her species before.

[jolting]

Then enjoy all the times she's going to sit on you when you're working.

[tiedonastring]

If she would settle down....

[As he's speaking she's currently climbing all over him like a tree. Hux appeared to be a mix of annoyance and amusement, but he's not making a big effort of getting her to stop either.]

Are they always this active?

[jolting]

She's just a kitten. She'll probably settle down a little when she's older.

[tiedonastring]

So she needs exercise then and possibly a routine?

[jolting]

I'd find a bigger space for her, sure. I'm sure there's a place on the ship that would be suitable for a pet play area.

[tiedonastring]

I'll have to look around and see what I can do. I appreciate the advice. What is your name? I believe this is the first time we've talked.

[jolting]

It's Doctor Frankenstein. And you're welcome. Having a cat on a space ship can't be easy.

[tiedonastring]

It's a new experience. I lived on a military ship most of my life, I wouldn't have thought of having a pet onboard a place like that. I'm Armitage Hux, but please just call me Hux.

[jolting]

All right. And you can call me "doctor" or "Frankenstein".

[tiedonastring]

What type of doctor are you?

[The name Frankenstein doesn't ring a bell to Hux. It wasn't a story familiar with him. He felt more comfortable calling him by his title, once he understood the role.]

[jolting]

I'm a medical doctor, and also a scientist.

[tiedonastring]

Intriguing. As a scientist what work have you done?

[jolting]

I'm mostly infamous for necromancy, but just before I left home I was working on a potion that would split a person from the darker part of their personality.

[tiedonastring]

....What is necromancy? Potions? I'm never heard of them before.

[jolting]

A potion. You know, chemistry. And necromancers deal with the dead.

[tiedonastring]

[Chemistry he understood. But he still wasn't too sure what to make of the necromancer.]

The potion part I can sort of understand....but I still don't understand what a necromancer does in regard with the dead.

[jolting]

Well, nothing anymore. But I used to study them. Dig up bodies and stuff.

[tiedonastring]

Oh.....well I suppose that's one way of being able to study the body...
