Mission: The 'Eagle continues.
Location: Holodeck.
Timeline: Current

Shon had felt strange and uneasy ever since her abortive evening with Kevin Kilbane. Hanging around in sickbay hoping not to meet any crew members was also a problem and she longed to be out on a mission. Her shift ended, she was always on call of course but she had booked some time in the small holodeck and took Puss with her. He was glad to be out of the four walls that he again had to master even if it was not the real thing.

The jungle was dark the night the Lord of all cats walked free. The broad leaves of the colada trees drooped in suppliance, their tears reaching the ground to water the path their lord walked. His firm pads and razor sharp claws made no sound as he walked in the night stalking his prey. Death was his religion and he was its master. His broad proud head lifted to sniff the air. He knew his prey was nearby and they felt their death upon them.

He let out a roar that carried through the trees like a clear bell announcing to all that their lord had come. He paused before he jumped, every sinew and whisker quivering to deliver swift death to the lesser animals that would lay down their lives for their lord. As he passed by all bowed to him their noses touching the ground and eyes looking down , for who dared look into the face of the majesty of death. The kill was his, no one would deny him the thrill of rending the flesh of his foes and......rolling them into little balls to bat around. The females of his tribe gathered round, the reflection of his emerald collar in his eyes. Yes, he would chose that special mate tonight who would give him the next generation of his progeny.

"Puss, Puss where are you?" A clear voice called into the jungle night. He stopped and listened, shaking his shaggy head he turned and headed for his friend. 'so end the dreams of all' he thought. He turned for one last look at his harem then set off to look for his charge. In the real world she was his responsibility, his tie to the strange human world in which he lived. He was there for her when she woke screaming in the night, when she buried her face in his fur to cry. Yes, he was responsible for her and he padded up to her nuzzling her outstretched hand.

"Where have you been?" she asked, not expecting a reply. He told her but all she heard was a series of loud feline vocalisations. She knelt down so her face was level with his. This he liked as he could see her green eyes, but, he liked the silver most of all as it meant the Riasan side of her was strongest. He was all about emotions, the love of his food that she served him twice a day, the emotion he felt when her hands touched his fur. when she caressed his chin and, when sometimes at night he could feel her naked skin through the air contained within his fur. If only she was feline she would be his number one mate, head of all his harem.

"I wonder what you are thinking my dear one?" she asked as she looked into his dark eyes. He felt her breath enter his nose with its three billion receptors that allowed him to suspire all her wants, her needs and her insecurities. He knew she held a special post in her world but when she came home it was to him she shared it all with. The Vulcan part of her he could not understand for his world was one of emotions, good, bad, wicked or indifferent and he loved her for those.

She rolled over onto her back amongst the bed of green leaves beneath her and breathed on the scent of the Calliope lillies that grew wild about her. He climbed up onto her abdomen his huge paws either side of her face and licked her nose. She held his face close to hers "What do you think of him my Puss?" The question flew by him yet he growled and purred not sure how to answer.

Thrn his eyes closed as the scents of the jungle overwhelmed him. Something was calling him in the night and he could do nothing but heed the call. He climbed off her as she lay with her eyes closed, and walked back into the jungle his ears following the sound. Once again lord of all he surveyed he came to a deep green pool fed by a waterfall that rose and fell as it jumped in and out of the rocks. He heard her quick, light, step behind him her voice live with excitement "Oh yes Puss." He lapped lazily at the water's edge as she disrobed. He lifted his head to watch as she walked into the green until she completely disappeared. He stood tall his eyes searching for her as heavy raindrops began to fall through the trees and the far distant sound of thunder saussered through him.

Then in a fountain rush of water falling from her body she appeared her long hair smooth to her neck. He heard her laugh with joy as she began to float washed now also by the falling rain. He retired under the cover of a large thera tree knowing that he would never understand her love of getting wet but he respected it. 'She would have made a beautiful feline he thought again as he watched her naked muscular body rise from the water to sit with him under the tree. she laid her arm gently over his back and scratched his neck. "My beautiful boy" she whispered. "I promise we will always have these times together forever as long as we live. "But now Puss we have to go. I have. report to write and meditation before I sleep. Puss sighed and knew sadly that this walk was at an end, this time but her knew they would walk together forever wherever they were.
