What is the meaning of this accosting? Yes we’re returning from Risa, but we know nothing about this… “Spot.” Do you mean a sunspot?

We see your scans. Ah, so Spot is your… cat, I believe you call it? I may know something you don’t about Risa. I will tell you, for a price. Let’s call it… 100 Dilithium.

Confirmed, Commander: Spot is at an animal sanctuary in Suraya Bay. The officials there say they found her wandering about, and assumed she was a stray.

They brought her in for safekeeping until her owner could be located. She must have escaped Commander Data’s apartment, perhaps via the window.

Since the Commander is not a Risian citizen, Spot’s ownership did not show in the sanctuary’s records.

But they are now happy to release her to us. I have notified Commander Data that we will beam her back to him directly. Initiating site-to-site transport…

Spot! I cannot thank you enough, Commander. Though I am troubled how I made such an elementary mistake regarding Spot’s whereabouts.

I have sent you on a wild goose chase, quite literally – a wild cat chase, in fact, although Spot is quite domesticated. Please accept this small token of my appreciation for the inconvenience.

If I may observe: making a mistake is a most human quality, and something even I have been known to do, from time to time.

Perhaps Spot and I shall visit the sanctuary before the Enterprise departs. She can see her new friends again, and I would very much like to thank them for looking after her.

And now you have even more Dilithium in your hold than you did before, we would like the information that you offered.

Yes, of course. There is a sanctuary on Risa, at Suraya Bay, where all manner of domestic creatures are kept for the entertainment of others.

Not for fighting alas… I believe “petting” is the word you would use. You may find the animal there, especially since Risa is where you lost it!

Ah, Commander, thank you for taking my message. I am sorry to trouble you, but I need your help – and I know that you are up to the challenge.

The situation is… somewhat embarrassing. I have lost my cat, Spot. The crew are on shore leave here on Risa, and I was… having a massage. To stimulate my emotion chip.

Dialogue
I left Spot in our apartment, but eyewitnesses reported an Orion leaving the complex and beaming away – one has to assume, with Spot. I cannot deny feeling profoundly sad at this turn of events.

The Enterprise cannot leave orbit, and I would be most grateful – and generous – if you could return her to me. I am sending you Spot’s biosignature now.

There is also the small matter of Spot being a high-value target, given her knowledge of the Enterprise.

Indubitably. But the Orions may have acquired technology to extract what Spot has seen and heard aboard the ship. Captain Picard would rather not leave this unexplored, and nor would I.

I think it more likely that his cat has been taken for the thriving pet and livestock trade on Orion Prime – we should begin there.

Scans of Orion Prime show no sign of Spot’s biosignature – though there are numerous specimens of Felis catus down there, among many other non-sapient creatures.

However, none are undergoing the kind of procedure that Commander Data intimated – on that point I remain skeptical.

It is possible the creature may have been traded already. I understand that Nausicaans find the Earth Felis catus species an exquisite delicacy.

There are no indications of Spot’s biosignature on Nausicaa, Commander. Though something relevant was recently broadcast through the planet’s subspace network:

… keep a lookout for that ship. Reports suggest they recently stole a high-value item from Risa …

The ship they are referring to is a Rigellian Destroyer, en route home to the Rigellian system. We should intercept.
