Zack raised his hand for a high five, and Meeb responded with five tiny hands which grew out of the shower curtain and slapped Zack’s hand, one after another, like wet noodles.

“Ouch!” Zack grinned as he shook out his hand. “It’s one high five, buddy. Not as many as you can make!” Meeb snickered as he shrank back down to amoeba form on Zack’s shoulder.

“Well, Meeb,” Mary said. “We certainly are thankful for how you helped Zack save the ship. And we’re really looking forward to having your help on Terra Prime, too.” She paused. “Do you have a family?”

Meeb nodded his head once, and Mary thought she saw some sadness in his round, black eyes before they started wobbling again, along with his smile, almost immediately.

Dr. Deschamps held up his tablet computer, showing a holoprojection of a planet on one side and space on the other.

“Do you come from a planet, Meeb…or from space?”

Meeb cocked his head to one side and grew two small tentacles so that he could point to both holograms.

“Sally,” Dr. Deschamps called.

“Yes, Doctor,” she replied through the ceiling speaker.

“How did Meeb arrive on our ship?”

There was soft whirring as Sally searched her databanks.

“Doctor, it appears that Meeb was possibly on a small asteroid or piece of space debris and chose to extend himself to our ship and explore a new environment when we dropped out of hyperspace.”

Meeb nodded enthusiastically.

“Wonderful,” Dr. Deschamps muttered, mostly to himself. “Meeb, you are a most welcome addition to the exploratory crew of the Constellation. I look forward to learning more about you in the lab…and getting to know you, as well, my alien friend.”

Meeb whipped out a super long, thin tongue…like a frog’s…and slapped it onto Dr. Deschamp’s right cheek, giving him a big lick while grinning widely at him open-mouthed.
