Volunteers are wanted to take temporary residence on the Reinhard V2, with the purpose of guarding it against possible Klingon attack.
As a Special Mission this duty attracts danger money foe Star Fleet officers and enlisted men.
Pets or Fleet Mascots are allowed to draw Special Rations.

If we pets volunteered to defend the V2, we might be able to get some adventures going !
My Sushi-Origami training qualifies me as a space pilot, too. ( wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

Casey, if you are a space pilot, blast us down to Planet Hi-Cal. We cats are still not able to read Reinhard's Space Flight Manual for his V2 from 1944.
Regarding the Klingons taking over, leave them to us cats.

Casey says we cats have to gird our loins, whatever that means, Squeaky, and get ready for guard duty. Ducky, can you help us? Gird us, I mean. (It means extra rations and we will share.) Maybe one of Mrs. Grundy's cast-off corsets would do for the three of us if you cut it down? A lot.

Before we do battle, however, we will stop for refreshments using Carnaby's new credit card. Squeaky, I insist that you exercise some restraint.

Ducky, do not cut Mrs. Grundy's corset too short
We need some extra space after our dining spree on planet Hi-Cal

Will you cats just keep in mind the hatchway size of my V2 !
I would hate it, to fly down to planet Hi-Cal in my space suit and parachute - because one of you got stuck after that "dining spree"
Casey : Forget about bringing a MegaCalSaurus bone for Fang. Those bones are too big and will disturb the trim of my rocket
