CATS

You are on a spaceship.

Most of your time will be spent on the bridge, which is exactly as fancy as you’d expect it to be — it looks a little like this. (The chairs are super comfortable!) Your brand new artificial intelligence — which, if you investigate, you’ll find is housed in a small computer chip — has been implanted into the computer terminal on the back wall. The diagnostics readout displayed along the bottom of the screen tells you that the AI has only been outfitted with the most basic of Stability Cores, and is currently Critically Unstable.

[The cat is biting his head.]

Somebody please move the cat.

Nah.

[ it's doing good work ]

Uhm, so. About that job. Are we taking it?

I've met Dimples. He's got a real attitude.

I wanna do it.

[I TOLD YOU ABOUT YOUR HAIR]

We should name her Princess.

...

We should name her Madeline.

And our ship should be the S.S Estelle.

That is the best idea I've heard all morning.

[C-cute.]

Sounds good.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Although if we get a second cat, or a third, what should we name them?

Why would we need more cats?

Moral support, and to help with the AI.

[and because at least three of us love cats]

..cats help with the AI?

Well. Huh.

Sure, why not.

How about we name them after other cats?

If the AI can develop beyond human levels, it should be taught empathy and how to care for living creatures.

Such as breeds?

Or the cats who came before. Either way.

[I will take the cat. Because I must pet the cat. It can even try to eat his short hair.]

So, Dimples, yay or nay?

Tama says he wants to do it.

Yay it is.

[FIST PUMP.]
