Nicely done - and you've started a new trend in the Fiction section I think!

Why does that Trumble remind me of Captain Hesperus?

Hesperus: A feline famous mostly for pimping trumbles.
This trumble: Resembles the feline famous for pimping trumbles.

It appears that the ooniverse has an odd sense of irony.

No no, it's modelled after a completely different feline, not related to Hesperus.

OK, in real world I was inspired by the good Captain's avatar that one could photoshop (though I use Picture Publisher) a convincing trumble on the base of a cat. So I tried to do just this. The cat picture I found on the net.

There is an interesting story behind that involving the delivery (or mis-delivery, theft, haphazard rewiring (take your pick as all apply)) of certain gene splicing equipment to a retro-evolution archaeological facility. Said delivery although resulting in no immediate deaths, caused the devolution and re-evolution of over 500 highly trained individuals. This biological morass, resulted in the loss of 15 rescue teams (presumed dead, possibly incorporated) and resulted in the entire facility being heat sterilised.

The delivery chit indicates the contract was undertaken by one C Hesperus or the "dubious profit" current location unknown.
