Zob chuckles, "This little guy is my responsibility after all" he then fed the creature another small strip of meat it perched on his forearm at a impressive height of 2ft 6 inches with a wing span of nearly 6 feet, "This here is a wrymling Pirloc better known in your tongue as a Dragon"

"Holy shit." Madison marveled. Dragons were of course legendary creatures. "So this is a real dragon. That's oh so amazing. Can I pet it?"

Zob looked to the creature then back to Madison, "Approach carefully and hand him a strip of meat from the bucket... gotta earn his trust first"

Madison cast her eyes around low. The bucket was right there next to Zob, but it still took her a moment to find it. Keeping her eyes on the dragon, she reached into the bucket and grabbed a strip of meat.  Moving very slowly, she held it up, then pushed it closer to the creature.

 The Beastie Looke d  down  at  Madison,  its head   rose  and   it gave a Mighty ( for him)  roar...which....came out like a cross between a rooster and a stepped on cat.

  ht hopped  from   leg to  let as  its  eyes   blinked.. it  looked at Zob with a tilt of his head, then  at   Maddy..

Zob reassured Rex that it was fine giving him a stern look, "She just wants to give you food, don't be a meanie you gotta get along with others if you wanna be able to come and visit planet side one of these days" he said to Rex like a parent telling their child to settle down.

  The  little creature   hopped a  bit   more,  then  glided off the limb, landing  on Zob;s  shoulder and skittering  down his  arm to  Maddy's  , as  he pecked at the offered  food.

"Hey there little guy," Madison soothed with a soft voice. "See, it's just food. No reason to be afraid of little ole me." She changed her grip on the meat to make it easier for the dragon to grab

  it  peacked a bit. head   jerking  . eyes  blinking..a  hoarse   'caw', of sorts  from time to time , as it  pecked  at the meat.

  When it was   done, it titled  its head around.

When the creature was done eating, i seemed to offer the back of it's head. Cautiously, Madison reached up and stroked it's head softly.

 Its Head   Came  Up and it  Squawked .. it   raised it    wings a  bit.. , tilting its head back and forth, looking at Maddy.

 The  woman cleaning the windows od the  zoo  tapped  on the partion  between the  Pirloc  and soe other creatures Henry brought  aboard..

It must have made a Kill?.. i found half of a   'norway' raat under his   limb.. it was  big..like a baby  Stem rat.

Madison looked backed at the dragon<. Seagreen>"Did you make a kill? That's a good boy Rex. Yes, you're such a good boy."</Seagreen> She offered him another piece of meat.

Zob gave a small smile as he watched Maddy feed the Pirloc, "That's a good thing he needs to learn how to hunt and fend for himself a bit, that and it helps keep rodents in check"

  The woman said through the partition  ( perforated Meta glass) the Duct workers  think the   'regular  rats   sneak about  in crates, then  fine their way into the  ducts..... some times the  fall through the ceiling vent into the  enclosures?..i guess they smell the food?... anyway, i have had to kill some on my own, and  found  dead ones that some of the other  animals  killed...The Maintenance  folks need to   use the   duct electrodes  more often

 she  waves  and moves  away to  start on the other  Glass of the next  'pen'..as   the creatures     scurry into a corner while she works, or climbs on their 'wood'

..................

 The Pirloc  perked  up at the praise.. he hopped back and  forth  spreading his  wings , then took some meat from Maddy.

Delighted by the Pirioc's reactions, Madison, talked to it some more. "Yes, you are such a smart dragon aren't you. Don't let anyone ever tell you different." It was amazing how the creature understood at least the tone of her praise. "And you're so beautiful too." Cautiously again, she reached up to pet him.

Zob was pleased to see how well the creature was adapting especially around Maddy, he did hand it yet another piece of meat he was down to only 1 piece left, "Once the meats gone we should let him rest... you should consider turning in early and get a good rest for the survival run as well"

Petting the dragon was like relaxation therapy. Madison almost forgot where she was when Zob's deep voice woke her from her moment. "Oh, right. Yeah, I get it. He'll want to relax after stuffing his face. I know how that feels." She stepped back to let Zob feed Rex the last of the meat.

"Okay, little Rex, it was wonderful to meet you." She sang in a sweet voice. "I'm going to let you rest now, okay?" Madison waved and backed out of the cage.

"Hey, Zob. I'm going to take your advice and go get some rest. I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

To Maddy's Quarters.

-----> From Rec dec after getting scrap cuts of meat

After taking care of a few side duties Zob arrived down in the Zoo to bring the Pirloc his meat scraps, "How you doing today buddy?" he said out loud as he entered the enclosure Draco was getting bigger everyday he was about the size of a Border Collie he then called him over handing him some meat.

  The Beastie  shuffled   down a good   sized tree Branch. Zob could  tell the branch was   fresh  and  was a  good  8 inches in diameter. It was from The Blue Moon and recently installed.

 The w9man Doc hired few Months  away    was at her task  with the squeegee  as she  separated the creatures with the metaglass  and   cleaned  the    containment area  floors  and  walls,,,she  was  Bolting a metal shell that looked like  a  rock with a hole in, for o  a couple of the  creatures  Henry had secured  for study.

 on the outside,  Zob  saw tow of the newer   SEC  troopers with a  body on a litter. the body  had  prisoner garb, with no ranking  or service  related  markings, they appeared to be headed to the  static  field  of the hold.

Zob glanced up from the feeding and noticed newer Sec troopers haul a body towards the static field he got up and walked out of the cage to see what was going on making sure it was secure behind him, "Trooper who is the corpse?" he asked not able to ID it from the distance he was at.

 The Lead trooper shook his  head. Some new Guy ? I guess he messed up pretty good on Paradsie, then almost got  folks killed  on a Delta Night?.. anyway. they brought him her, stuffed him in the brigs, to wait for us to leave the Moon.. he hung himself ?   They would have  made him take the long walk any way, depending on what he said at his hearing..but he by passed the hearing,,save every one time.. He  being  listed   at AWOL..deceased.

The other trooper  swing around, ready to dump him.I was readinging the   Bounty   feeds? the ESN/APF  are looking  for  that whack job, ex Pilot..and the Cat guy ..there was a prisoner  that was here  for a cup of coffee,,, they are looking for his head...  wise i could find them all, I could retire..we gonna say any words?

 Don't see what?..

As Zob got closer he properly ided the body and a look of disgust came across his face, "Oh its him... yeah trooper let me handle this"

  The  troopers  dumped the Body on the next , a foot or two from the static  field.

 all yours  Sarge, we're gonna  grb a donut  and coffee  before we head back..

 the other    guy rolled the  litter  up and they headed off.

Zob nodded and watched as the troopers walked off, he then grabbed the head and gave it a sharp twist before then taking his knife and removing the head from the corpses body, upon successful removal he then kicked the rest of the remains out the static field with the garbage.

Once that was finished Zob took the head back to the Pirloc cage and set it down on a stump and resumed the feeding, "Draco i brought you a new toy, have at it boy"
