Ensign Matzah - On Duty

[CorpCosmic Resident]

Well, decided to toss up some pics of Ensign Matzah... born on the USS Tarkus - Federation Starfleet vessel NCC-179.

A few folks know Matzah because I post random shots of her in the group chat.

I had her born the day I began building the ship. The ship has gone through some significant changes and reworks as I try to slowly put together something unique but distinctly "old school Star Trek."

Even so, Matzah has remained the same, serving faithfully on the bridge of the ship she calls home. So long as I have Matzah, I will work to keep and finish it. Can't have a homeless kitty, right?

I got Matzah the custom hat and collar, making it so that it rather represented a Star Trek "original series" style uniform, bearing the insignia style I created for the USS Tarkus cew uniforms.

So, this thread will be, for what ever it's worth, a sort of photo history of Ensign Matzah and the USS Tarkus on which she lives and sees as home.

Just another kitty in a box, waiting to come to life in SL, her home was the lowest deck of the forward hull of a Star Trek "Daedalus" class ship I was just beginning to build...

For you technical sorts, the USS Tarkus would be the upper build, very rough, with the ship below for a size reference. The entire length of the original Tarkus was to be 128m from foreward-most end to furthest back end of the naecelles.

Matzah's first "baby pics"... hehehehe... Her name was random. I decided to let the system choose, just to see what would pop up. Matzah sounded like as good a name as any... and better than a lot!

Right after "birth," I had the little fuzzbutt "helping" as I started assembling the ship's bridge.... and worked on getting the vessel into its basic shape.

"Matzah, that is a Klingon Battle Cruiser.... Assholes of the Galaxy!"

Consulting with the ship's bridge officer, Ensign Matzah, regarding the Klingon situation...

...and, of course, kittycats grow and grow over that 7 days....

...until 7 days old, Matzah earned her "uniform"... her hat and collar, gold/yellow, as it just seemed proper that a kittycat be given "command rating"... hehehehe...

---

And... Just before her "maturing," at 6 days old... [/align]Matzah's first pic with her "uniform" in place...

Of course, now on full, active duty, and with her proper bed and food/water in place... Ensign Matzah get right to work!

Often Matzah would be held so long that she would fall asleep whilst I was building away, camming around other areas than where we say.

As Matzah's home took better form, we moved to a new sim parcel, and, in the process, poor Matzah spent one too many days in inventory, and gawd did I feel lterrible for a week...

Even so, the ship was moved, and develiopment continued....

Of course, she got better...

[Kayla Woodrunner]

Oh, poor Matzah. I'm glad she got better

[CorpCosmic Resident]

Glad you've enjoyed the "life of a Starfleet Kitty" so far ;-) Thanks for replying :-)

Always got a kick out of Matzah when she's "hard at work"....

[CorpCosmic Resident]

hehehe... SOMEBODY COMFY???

[Kayla Woodrunner]

I'm an old school Star Trek fan so it's been a fun story. I keep wanting to give Matzah a tribble to play with. She would so love a tribble (until it started eating her catfood)

[Luna1987 Resident]

How cute is that cat! I love KittyCats that look like real life cats!

[kierancarter Resident]

Very adventurous cat!

Got a bit sidetracked from the Matzah story. Thanks for the feedback. If anyone cares to visit Matzah's starship home, look me up: ???????? ?????? (corpcosmic)
