Montez wags his tail.  "Yea, this world is a big waterball.  He waves out at one of the large windows in the common area outside of the IN office.  "See, they even display it for us."

Montez cocks his head at the Rat and wrinkles his muzzle in a smile; "Well, learning to be a Vargr might be tough.  The lack of a tail, fur, fine ears and of course real teeth are a huge handicap.  Perhaps Doctor Gwerf could work some kind of genetic magic but that's a lot of work to do even for him."  He pats the human engineer on the back vigrously;  "In the meantime the best bet is to show a bit more charisma within the pack."  He wags his tail;  "I can help you with that."

"Now about the other problem, well the captain wants us all together.  Perhaps he fears an attack."
