Since it's already claimed one "victim"

Apparently Overfiend One has a subroutine designed to prevent, shall we say, interlopers of the feline persuasion from absconding with the fish it collects. As in, a rather comical compressed-air cannon system that I just witnessed sending a purple furball across the room. Apparently Dr. Wallace had nosy cats, too.

Dr. McCoy, are you sure I can't disassemble it even a little? I've got the documentation that Dr. Wallace provided and -

Wait. Noticed something. More on that later. If this is what I think it is, I won't have to disassemble anything at all...

NOT FUNNY!

Catseye will get that fish!

good luck. I am bribable.

It seems to have an almost military-grade recognition and reaction subroutine. Apparently four legs under forty pounds = something liable to steal the fish.

ShinyBitsBoy can stop snickering now.

ShinyBitsBoy SHOULD stop snickering now.

Catseye will get the fish. Just you wait...

If Catseye wants the fish, Catseye should do her pleading kitten eyes at Forge or me to get it. You are far too difficult to resist when you're cute. The squid, on the other hand, does not think that you're cute, and won't give you fish.

Don't look at me in that tone of voice, Doc. She wants the fish, there's an obvious way for her to get it.

Well, maybe it's just me. The kitten eyes get me every time... of course, Miles totally did away with any resistance I ever had to little-and-cute. Lockheed is good at it, too.

Catseye, I kinda doubt there's actual fish in there, unless it has its own built-in freezer, or they've been testing it in the lake already, or something.

No, we've got actual fish. Dr. McCoy made a sushi run late last night, and OF-1 does have a built-in freezer to keep its catch fresh. Apparently it has a complete preparation subroutine - it's like its own Iron Chef episode - I just haven't gotten through to that particular application layer yet...

it's like its own Iron Chef episode

Literally. :)

And I bet it's got something in there to rinse the fish off before preparing . . . so it really does have everything and the kitchen sink.

There are fish! THEY ARE CATSEYE'S FISH!

AAAAAAAAAAAH!

-blinks-

You have to shift to human to reply on here anyway, and the squid won't let you at the fish while you're a cat. Why not just go at them as a human?
