A few people have asked about the little ball of fur that sits on my desk in the traveler's liaison office and purrs. It's called a tribble, and they are a real creature in this universe, though the one I have is not real. We had some on board a few months ago and they multiply very quickly, so they're not feasible to have as pets. Howard made this one for me, which is, for lack of a better term, robotic. No need to worry about alarming reproduction rates. It's so darling and it probably needs a name. Suggestions?
