Jack of Harts

I grew up with the intelligent dogs and cats of Earth. And of course I met some of the catgirls that make Los Angeles famous. But something I learned out in the stars is that these modifications were real minor. Dogs and cats still walk on all fours. They’re just smart. And an extra set of cat ears and maybe a feline tail doesn’t turn a Japanese schoolgirl into some kind of alien hybrid. They’re still what they started as, just better. I’ve met people out in the stars that show just how minor the genetic modifications we’ve worked with are. I’m talking stuff that would be Big A Alien if quick study couldn’t find their genetic heritage. It makes me wonder what else is scattered out there in the stars. What people we’re going to meet in the depths of space.
