[ Hello, crew of the Moira. If you look at your MID devices, you'll be seeing one baby-faced space marine covered in kittens. Well, not covered, but he's got three climbing all over him while he's piled under a blanket. There's a ginger one, a fluffy grey tabby, and a chocolate brown-almost-black one, all of which seem to be enjoying their new climbing post. Wash, meanwhile, has a wide grin on his face. It's been too long since he's been around cats, okay? And he loves the little buggers. ]

I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's noticed the kittens in the garden? And if I am, well, there're kittens in the garden. And they're pretty adorable. I'm not entirely sure where they came from, but if anyone else wants some, I'd recommend getting down there and adopting one or two. They could use some warm love in these temperatures.

[ To emphasize, he shivers a little, though his expression doesn't shift a bit. He's quite literally thrilled by this turn of events. Kittens, guys. KITTENS. ]

I stayed and played with as many as I could for a while to keep them active, but there's only so much I could do, you know? So I grabbed these guys [ he gestures with his shoulders to the kittens climbing in and out of the blanket hanging over him ] and brought them back to my room. Figured I'd give them a home.

And now for the other reason for this broadcast--I could use some name suggestions. [ He doesn't even look sheepish. He legitimately wants help with cat names and either doesn't care or doesn't realize how ridiculous that sounds. ] So, if you have any, maybe leave them for me?

Oh! And I'm Wash, by the way. Agent Washington, technically, but everyone just calls me Wash.

[ And there the feed ends, with Wash still grinning his stupid "CATS" grin and a kitten batting at his chest. ]

Oh.

[ He's disappointed to hear that. However, he perks up when she continues, hopeful. ]

Yeah, just like the rest of u-- Er. Most of the rest of us. They'll die if they're left in the cold for too long.

[She kind of scoffs, as if the idea of dying from cold is preposterous. However: one of her fingers is still stinging where one of these small creatures sank its tiny, needle-sharp fangs into her, and her bare arms have been subjected to a number of scratches from their newly-grown claws. They're distastefully tiny, but she kind of grudgingly respects them and their capacity to wound things.]

Alright, I guess I can make sure a few of them don't die. Not like it's a worse use of my time than anything else I'm supposed to be doing on this ship.

That's great! Thanks!

[ Even if she doesn't keep them, just keeping them safe and warm is all he's asking for here. It's certainly better than nothing! He sounds relieved over the audio stream, not to mention grateful. ]

I'm sure they'll appreciate it. And who knows, they might grow on you a little. They're good at that.
