video;

[The video turns on and it shows a whole lotta nothing. Just an empty rec room. And then:]

DD!

[When Ocelot’s voice shouts the name, a large dog that appears to be a wolf-mix with thick grey fur and an eyepatch over one eye comes into view of the camera and stands there wagging its tail eagerly.

Ocelot’s gloved red hand comes into view of the camera and points to the room.]


Search!

[The dog barks twice and turns around to quickly move about the room. It sticks its head behind a couch and pulls out a red ball, then drops it and follows its nose to another spot, inside a potted plant, where another red ball is retrieved. The dog moves expertly around obstacles, retrieving red balls that were hidden all over the room. When the last one is found, DD walks back to Ocelot and stares up at the camera with the final red ball in its mouth.]

Good boy, DD.

[DD barks again, dropping the ball and turning happily in a circle with his tail wagging. The camera then turns to show Ocelot’s face.]

You see that? Expertly trained. I’m willing to bet DD here is worth more in the field than half of you, so maybe you should get some lessons from our defense personnel.

[That’ll give Miller and Snake something to do.]

If you think you might need DD for some field work, you can ask his handler, ‘Venom’ Snake.

What is that? Is it a different type of chore bot?

[he wants one....]

[Liquid pets DD when he brings the ball back, setting the retrieved ball down for a moment while he fluffs his fur up for a bit. And then it's right back to tossing the ball.]

...Huh.

[He... might have to do that. It's not like it'd be impossible to take care of a dog here, right? Even if he'd have to bring it table scraps from the mess hall or something.]

Maybe. It'd be nice. I'll think about it. You think he'd let me have one?

[Frisk nods with each instruction, practically dancing on the spot. Oh man, they wanna pet him, they wanna pet him nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...]

Yessir! I will!

[Snake happily obliged in giving DD scritches on his belly. The dog loved this and Venom knew how much he must have missed them all.]

It's the only man I know how to be now. Whoever I was before they're gone. [He wasn't sure if he should be sad not knowing who he was before. All he did know was that he was with his friends once more. His Mother Base family.]

Is there a limit to what you can bring through the mail?

Oh. I'd only heard of humans. I guess it makes sense there's more than one species.

[he taps his chin, then directs his question at the dog without realising he... can't talk.] What part of Earth are you from, DD?

Ever need anyone to take him for a run, just give me a call.

[Liquid could even send his dog on intel gathering missions under the guise of it being adorable or something! Or just pet it a lot. He keeps tossing the ball for DD to get whenever he brings it back.]

I'll ask. I don't know if I'd go all out on requesting one if he says no, but maybe.

[He lets out a snort of laughter.] Guess I can take this as a sign that I'm adapting to all this.

Yeah. I guess asking for weapons is out? [Like a rocket launcher and Serval sniper rifle? A man could dream.]

Not sure what sort of armoury they have here aboard the ship.
knaval: (there might be)

Oh, I see. Animal.

[he'd thought dd was just a sentient animal type like ravage.]

From Cybertron? I think so. I mean, all planets have wildlife, right? [cybertronians that turn into animals, sure, but he wouldn't count that.] They, uh. Weren't really... around any more when I came online.

Nice trick. Except your demonstration didn't include the part where you hid the balls, or where DD was then.

[Hey, he called everyone else out first. She's allowed to point out the loophole here.]

But the puppy's adorable, so points for that.

[Because no. No.]

I've actually never had the chance to train with a dog. It sounds like a good challenge.
