I think I am in trouble with the Mothership. This morning, I heard Nikki go "MRROWWROWWMRAO!" I called to her "What's the matter, baby?"

"MROOWWRRROWWMRAH!"

She sounded a bit peeved, so as a good slave (I thought) I went to see what was the matter. Nikki was sitting in the hallway staring up at the (to hoomin eyes) blank wall.

"MRROWROWWWMROH!" she said to the wall.

Have you seen your cats talking to a blank wall? Do you think a transmitter to the Mothership can be completely invisible to hoomin eyes? I am afraid that Nikki has lodged a serious complaint against me, she sounded that annoyed.

A moment later Frank had taken Niki's place. MMMRAH! he said. MMMRAH!

I can only hope that he was giving the Mothership evidence of alleviating circumstances in my favour.
