Missioninsane: Weather: Frost
It was the strangest thing McCrea had ever seen. In fact, he wasn't completely sure it was happening until he realized the authenticity of the frosty weather hitting him when he opened the door to his pod home. His second guess was that he had identified the visitor wrong, but none of the others who looked like this one would come so informally.
There was EVE, one of the strongest willed bots he knew, looking up at him with eyes big and sad like a little kid, carrying one of the smaller animal clones that had been let loose about a month ago. This one was... a cat, right? A young one. A kitten? Yes, that was the term he was looking for.
"...Uh...are you al-"
She held it up to him. He only now noticed how much the creature was shivering. There were multiple other ways that it didn't look to be in the best shape either.
"Help?" EVE asked desperately.
McCrea blinked in surprise, and several questions came to mind. Maybe they'd let the creatures out too young? What if there were other kittens sick in the colony? Without him even realizing it, EVE's empathy for the creature had passed onto him. Something didn't make sense, however. "Why are you coming to me? Most of the Axiom's information has been opened to the public for a long time. I can't give you any information to help that it can't, can I? I mean, not saying you can't come to me, but..."
"Uh..." EVE's expression changed to hold a pinch of guilt. "...Care?" EVE asked meekly, holding the creature up a little higher.
Oh. "Why me? Can't you?"
EVE shook her head. "Cockroach."
Ohhhh. He looked at the kitten, then at his friend, then back.
No, wait... maybe both were his friend.
He smiled, gently taking the kitten from EVE, which prompted EVE to smile as well. "Appreciated!" EVE said ecstatically.
"No problem," McCrea replied. He noticed the kitten kinda waving at EVE and chuckled. "But you have to come visit it sometimes, okay? I think it likes you."
EVE nodded one last time before heading out. She hated to be short, but she'd been trying to figure out what to do with the kitten for a while and was now late getting home. WALL-E was probably worried sick.
"Come on," McCrea said, closing the pod door. "Let's get you a blanket and something to eat, huh? Maybe we can ask for some help checking on your siblings, too." McCrea lightly patted the kitten's head. Somehow, holding it had a calming effect. Maybe this would be good for both of them.
