video; I Want to Hug Every Dino But I Can't. (Can't Hug Every Dino)
[ Kelly Ann takes a deep breath and lets it out, tense and fidgety in front of the camera. ]
Ok. Wow, heh. This is um. Harder when I'm not on pain meds. So anyway, I don't know if everybody has noticed but like. Half the space station is fucking flooded. But this isn't about that.
Even with the cull and all, there's still a bunch of these little dinos around. [ She glances at something behind the camera and gestures, indicating it should follow. ] All the water is making them like, cold or some shit. So they're looking for warm places. You might find them like, near lamps or even in your bed in the morning. They might get attracted to appliances, like if you're baking something. Shit like that. See, here's some. I just got these towels out of the dryer and there's like these little anklyosauruses, I think, all curled up in there. Looks like two or three. They're really wiggling around in there. See if you can get a good shot.
[ The camera pans down to show the chicken-sized armored dinos burrowing into what used to be Kelly Ann's clean towels, with a similarly diminutive velociraptor looking on with an expression that is unmistakably miffed. The camera then pans back up to Kelly Ann. ]
When the dinos first showed up, Shepard said not to keep them as pets but Peter and I have had Pino this whole time and he's fine. [ She glances behind the camera again and hisses. ] Shut up he doesn't bite you that much. [ She looks back to the camera. ] And I mean. She's still in cryo so. [ She pauses just a moment. ]
So whatever. They don't all have to be used for research or killed. If you want one as a pet, let me or Peter know. We've been collecting them in my room, but I can't keep any of them. Pino has been trying to eat the others. And he gets protein cubes and jerky so he's not hungry, he's just being a little shit.
[ She glances behind the camera. ] Right. Stop rambling.
There's a bunch of different kinds, not just anklyosaurs. So whatever your favorite dinosaur is, we probably have one. Or a new favorite you don't even know about yet.

[ She points to the one gnawing on the purse. ]

Bad move, because it hisses and snaps at her. ] Now it's trying to be a brontosaurus thief, apparently, and taking my purse.

[ Somebody had a very prolonged dinosaur phase as a child. ]

And then her tongue clicks when she spots it gnawing on her purse. ] Oi, stop that-- [ Brb going to swat the mini dinosaur away. ]
If these things won't be able to find food naturally, who knows what will happen. [ A pause. ] Does this... space station ever give us the opportunity to touch down on, oh I don't know, some sort of planet we can drop them off?

[ She very nearly pouts. ]
Why would we kick them out of their home?
