With Teslo having secured the red, grey, and chocolate kitten, that left the black, white, and tawny kittens to be picked up by Elesei and Tikva.  The comtono-nest was picked up by the droid Rex, who held it gingerly, unsure if the kittens were to be deposited back inside it for the time being, or if its organic masters wished to carry the fuzzy little offspring.<br/><br/>Looking back down at the floor ruefully, and then at Tikva, the droid tentatively asked "Mistress Tikva?  Shouldn't we do something dignified for the mother?  Even a small box or a caern of rubble?  Something to keep the scavengers from her body?"<br/><br/>Leri and her droids kept watch as all of this kitten business was handled.  As she scanned their surroundings with a practiced eye, her visor's sensors showed a warm thermal draft flowing into the chamber from overhead.  With a few seconds of analyzing the flow of air, the faintest trace of hyperfuel exhaust, particles of spent coaxium and rhydonium.  Wherever the point of origin of that vented draft, it seemingly was close to a spaceport where active starships were coming and going.
