Mech Pilot who found something bigger, faster, and more slobbery to work with.
"Private ... would you mind uh, explaining, that?"
"What?"
"Don't what me private! What's with the giant slobbering mutt that's sitting next to your mech looking like he expects a treat or something!?!?"
"Uh, about that Sarge. He kinda followed me home."
"He followed you home. A giant fucking... is that thing a wolf? In space!?!? That just 'followed you home' into a secure lunar military compound!?!?"
"Yes Sir. That about sums it up sir."
"Where did you even find such a creature?"
"Saw him out patrol a few times when I was around the Mare Cognitum, Sir. Seems he likes eating moon rocks and playing fetch. And well, I wasn't sure how to report it in, but remember that enemy scout mech I reported downed on patrol today? I wasn't sure how to report this over the comm at the time but uh ... Hati here sorta went for a take down on it when he saw I was tussling with it. Made it a lot easier to handle. Hope the techs don't mind the bite marks on the salvage."
"Hati. Great. You've named the beast. And I suppose you're hoping he can stay here?"
"Well, I mean, he was a great help in the field sir."
"I'll take that under advisement private. Dismissed!!!"
