Part of this comes from my own childhood/adolescence: I was always a scifi reader and our family was stationed overseas (to the mid-east) during my adolescence. thus I was reading tales of the future while living in some very old cities. I guess it rubbed off.
I blame quantum physicists for this problem.
Before him, in the direction of his ships flight, b linked the distant lighthouse of the pulsar. Its name was long, its distance far, and its bounty of scientific data beckoned the curious feline. And yet, no matter how he might try to stop himself, he couldn't help but scrabble at the glass trying to catch the blinking red dot.
(As you're the real artist here, I'm blaming you for the fictional feline monster you've created)
"Ah Tiddles!" said Roger "I see you have found gainful employemnt at last!"
Roger crossed to peer out the window to see what had caught Tiddles' attention.
"What ARE you trying to get at? That Pulsar?" Roger bent to peer out the window.
Suddenly his jaw dropped. "What in God's name...."
He activated the com badge on his sleeve:"Bridge, this is Spec Davnik on deck 5...Unidentified object off the starboard side, about 90 degees, maybe 5 degrees incination. Just under the Pulsar."
The bridge gave a terse reply, followed by several tense seconds. Then:"Nothing on EM bands. Visual identified as a Krooton Drone."
This was followed by a tremendous uproar as every alarm on the ship went off.....to make a long story short, Roger had looked to see what Tiddles was playing at and had seen the moving dot of light(where no moving object should have been). This turned out to be a dreaded...and rare...Krooton drone which, thanks to its clever cloaking technology was proof to all detection save via the visual spectrum. The chances of spotting a drone in time to do something about it were remote, but thanks to Tiddles this one was spotted in the vicinity of Jupiter, weeks before it arrived at its intended target: Earth
The appropriate orders were given; the Krooton drone was destroyed.
And there you have it, children, the story of how Tiddles the cat saved planet Earth.
