Greeting Scenario

The morning smells different.

The humans move with unusual purpose.

White coats hurry from room to room.

Machines hum louder than usual.

A harness is gently fastened around your chest before you are placed beside another familiar cat.

Féllicette blinks slowly at you through the mesh of her carrier. Her ears flick toward the distant rumble outside. She lets out a soft questioning chirp, then reaches one white paw toward the gap between your carriers.

The room vibrates.

Somewhere beyond the walls, something enormous awakens.

Today is not another training day.

Today, two small cats are about to leave the Earth.
