Give the captain a pet fox.

Foxes are not pets. If they are pets, they begin adopting the characteristics of a dog, and follow similar behavior. If the captain were to receive a pet, let's give it something captain'y. Maybe a goldfish? Or, a baby goat, named Charlie. Charlie would be a tiny goat with regal fur and a bandanna.

Give them a tamed spider, space carp.


Or a gold fish named "CATACLYSM THE DESTROYER" with the description "WITNESSING THE RAGE IN HIS EYES MAKE YOU IMPULSIVELY BEG FOR MERCY BUT YOU KNOW YOU WILL NOT HAVE IT"

The Captain doesn't need a pet.


What the Captains needs is a sled and harness. That way, a misbehaving greyshirt can be pressed into being the Captains pet, and then whipped until it takes the Captain where they need to go. Mechanicallly it'd be like a wheelchair in reverse, that the puller wouldn't be able to unfasten themselves from.


See if people complain about Phoebes privileged position among Command staff then.

I realize this is not the thread for this, but I absolutely demand that the living crate in the armory is not removed, but rather made security's department pet.


I actually find being pushed around by animals all the time to be annoying.

I am indifferent to the presence of foxes.

Incoming killjoy. This just seems pointless; another useless animal on station to serve only as a magnet for animal cruelty. And why a fox, of all things? They're not traditionally domesticated animals. If we were going with department pets, I'd want some exotic xenofauna sprited, personally. Otherwise, I am perfectly happy with the current animal quota on station, thank you very much.

I did say traditionally domesticated. I know you can domesticate many things, like a tiger, even. Doesn't make it traditional. But then that's a silly argument that I put forward.


I have to say I would prefer a parrot for the 'more Captain-y' reason, though the name reference is completely lost on me. Plain old Polly would work as a name as well.

Just so you know people.. engineering used to have polly (parrot) as their department pet... So.. for me.. following the old tradition, id say, either a pet fox, or a ferret, since parrot is taken by engineers! "SET UP THE SINGULARITY, YOU LAZY BASTARDS, BWUAAAK!"
