Rachel: *laughs out loud as Felicity and Joe chuckle and Ruth sniggers* That's his fan.

Karen: ... *soft snerk*

Rachel: Here she is with her sweetheart. *shows image of grinning Frenzy giving Nijika a piggy back ride*

Karen: Aww. *small smile* Cute.

Rachel: *fond look for the image* And they're never inappropriate in public. *changes picture and shows one of Nijika cuddling a ferret under her chin*

Karen: Aww.

Rachel: Yeah. In that mode he's actually cute.

Felicity: *soft little giggle* I'm on his list of favorite people right now.

Rachel: *glances over* How'd you do that?

Felicity: *smile* I got a big box of packing peanuts and gave it to him to play in.

Rachel: *laughs out loud* *then looks at her phone and makes like calling up another picture* This is Rocket. She's a sweetie.

Karen: *looks to the picture and makes a surprised sound when she sees the little xenoformer*

Felicity: Awww! I didn't see that one before. She's reaching for the image capture!

Karen: Who named her?

Rachel: *flips the picture to show a tall, dark-haired man with his arms around the beastie's neck* Her master, Six-Shot.

Karen: Ah... *small frown as she notices someone in the background of the picture* Who's the redhead? *can see the red's a different one from Rachel's red*

Rachel: *grins* That's Catherine Wyatt. *flips to another picture. This one is Cat with Bully and Barking Cat*

Karen: ... Did someone blow-dry that bull?

Rachel: *laughs out loud* Not that day!

Karen: And Catherine... Is she related to Ty Wyatt?

Rachel: *brow up* Her dad.

Karen: I knew him in Basic.

Rachel: *softly* Ahhh. *gently* He's gone.

Karen: ... *quietly* What happened?

Rachel: Gopher. The truck rolled and exploded.

Karen: *hand over mouth*

Rachel: *hugs?*

Karen: *needs hugs, yes*

Rachel: *much hug* *softly* Cat's grandpa raised her.

Karen: *quietly* I thought I'd have a better chance of flying when I went with Norman. *and she's regretted that ever since*

Rachel: *sucks in air and tightens the hug a little* *softly* Cat's airborn.

Karen: ... *confused now* She is? *wasn't aware that Catherine was in the Air Force, too*

Rachel: *nods, and then lets go and sits back to find another picture* It's a little like Legacy's new jet, except Cat's hardwired with hers. *holds up the phone to show a beautiful, but stern-faced lady bot with proud wings*

Karen: *studying the dark green and medic-marked jet* ... Hardwired?

Rachel: Yeah. She steers it with her mind.

Felicity: *without looking up from her latest plate of nigiri* Vroom vroom vroom.

Ruth: *affectionately* *bleep*in' dork.

Karen: ...

Rachel: *sees the confusion* Something like how you've interfaced with your star.

Karen: Ah. *small nod*

Joe: *has found his phone. Calls up a video and offers it to Karen*

Karen: *will look, and snicker muchly*

Rachel: *peeks to see what the show is and sniggers herself*

Karen: *wheezing a bit as she laughs*

Rachel: *slight flail* *gasp*

Felicity: *puzzled look* What's so funny?

Joe: Remember when you dropped your plate, Rumble launched, and Kup laughed till he fell down?

Felicity: *blink blink* Ooooh.

Rachel: *disappointed wheeze as the video ends*

Karen: *has to lean on you a bit, Rachel. She laughed herself dizzy*

Rachel: *soft chuckle*

Joe: *presents video of that incident that he just mentioned*

Rachel: *appreciative groan through the cackling that ensues*

Felicity: This is like the time Ravage was stalking Scary's shoe, and didn't realize Scary could see her...

Joe: *calls up that footage* And Scary moved her foot.
