[Just like last time, the Emperor is in the garden. But his demeanor is totally different. Instead of excitable nervous energy and a hint of sadness, now the Emperor is calm, warm and amiable but utterly self-possessed. The only name attached to the account is 'the Emperor'.]
One – this whole madcap kaleidoscope, it’s for our own moral and psychological benefit. That’s the party line, isn’t it? Well, our mental well-being requires a cat. Whoever has an interest in maintaining the pretense and the authority to provide one, see to it.
Two – We were originally trained as a medical doctor. It seems to be a skillset in unfortunately high demand. We would like to offer our services, in whatever capacity we may be trusted to contribute.
Three – and this is the most important, consider the question open to the floor:
What do you dream of?
Private to Zane:
We should have tea.
[OOC: I dropped the ball on a lot of stuff with him while I was apartment-hunting, and I'm super sorry about that. Let me know if you want to figure out any handwaved stuff, or if you'd rather start with a clean slate, that's cool too.]

As I work in the infirmary, I'll se to your qualifications and we can go from there. Due to past issues-- most inmates are not trusted in the infirmary, regardless of qualifications. It's a sad fact of our environment.
But there have been some. Once the Admiral sees fit to deliver your file and I have a chance to review it, I'll do what I can for you.
If he sees fit. He may deny me. At which point, I am less able to assist you as broadly, but will still attempt to.
[ Mmmm. Maybe Peter and you could get along, Risen one... ]

We might need to reacquaint ourself with some of the equipment - the default technology level here seems ancient to us - but we don't imagine qualifications will be a problem.
[He smiles magnanimously.]
Regardless of the outcome, we appreciate your efforts.

Do you have a preference in breed?
Of cat, I mean.

[In spite of all his demands, he says this with a straight face.]
Mixed breeds are typically healthier in any case.

The admiral has declined me your file. I'll still request a cat for you. We'll have to discuss further about work. Without knowing both your skill set and idea of why you are here, I can't engage you in the infirmary without a better idea, I'm sorry.
Once you have a warden, we'll revisit this, though.

Worry about the cat first. We can arrange a meeting to give you a more concrete idea of our proficiency later.

[ He'll get that request in -- it's easily filled, as there's no weaponry, powers, or files to be concerned with. A cat, with the necessary supplies for it's car. Mixed breed, eight months only. Still a little kitten left in it, but not so bad it will be troublesome. ]
