(Orion)

It was bad enough that the master had pulled up chains *again* and moved to god knew where, the whole experience throw his inter homing gyros *completely* out of whack, but now he could swear he smelled another cat. It wasn't a strong scent, and it localized around the living quarters of the pilots, but damn it, it bothered Orion something fierce.

The large brindle Pittbull/Rottwiller mix had spent the majority of the day padding around, following his ground bound snout, searching the grounds for the new scent. He had all but ignored the techs and pilots who gave greeting to him as he sniffed by, pausing only to sniff a few ankles before he moved back along his trail. He was nearing the entrance to the living quarters when the door opened, and the scent became suddenly strong. He looked up just in time to see the human female with the sad name dart by, her mind obviously on something more important then even giving a simple hello to him.

"Hmph...Typical of anyone with a name like Kat" he thought to himself. Then it hit him. Her scent screamed "cat", but it wasn't pure cat, because her own human scent overpowered it. It wasn't like the uniquely confusing scent of the Felinoid, Ryax, either. The scent wasn't adult either, it was kitten. His tail wagged happily. He had just found the owner of the new arrival, and she had just left the living areas, which meant the newcomer was unguarded. All the better to lay down the law. He darted through the door into the elevator and hopped up to prop himself against the wall, and sniffed the buttons. He sniffed carefully, seeking out Kat's scent. First he found it on the button marked with the human symbols "MB", but by the sheer potency of it, he knew that was obviously the button she just hit to get to the Bay. After a short while of further sniffing and categorizing, he deducted the last button she hit to go to her quarters had to be the one marked "LQ". He gave it a quick swat with his large paw, striking three other buttons in the process.

The doors closed and off he went. As the doors opened on each floor, he quickly gave the area an inquisitive sniff, and stayed in the elevator until Kat's scent filled his nostrils. He padded down the hall, nose to the ground, when he picked up another trail. Sachy's. He snorted in contempt. It wasn't that he didn't like Sachy and Morgan, it was just that the two felines had always seemed to go out of their way to become a pain in his ass all the time. The scent of Sachy and the newcomer became stronger and begin to follow the same trail.

He thought to himself "Damnit....That cat's gonna warp that poor child's mind.."

He quickly followed the strong scent to Morgan's room, who's scent also mingled with the others, then to the stairs, dog chuckled at the cats' inability to use the elevators, and followed the scent down.
