Quantum-entangle pets acquired on the Barge with their owners. That way, when they get sent home, the animals will go with them, instead of hanging around here for us to deal with.
Hang on, let me get the door.
[Ford heads over to it and cracks it open, enough to let Bill use his usual powers.]
[He picks it up and demonstrates how expandable and contractable it is. You'd be hard pressed to find a creature that would be able to be kept aboard the ship who the collar wouldn't fit.]
No. I don't want to repeat what happened the last time someone the Admiral still had hold of went to another dimension, so I've made sure it won't work on two people.
[he looks over at Bill, and his brows draw up and his face pulls into a smile.]
...you aren't just here to talk shop, are you? I haven't seen you in weeks!
[Proper kiss, then. Bill usually has not crossed the PDA line with Ford - they've never talked about what's okay, and he errs on the side of shyness caution - but nobody else is here, so he can just sneak one in, right?]
[Nobody else is here, and the door is barely cracked, they'll hear if someone comes in -- so yes, Bill can absolutely sneak this one, and gets some enthusiastic sneaking back.
Could all change in a heartbeat if they so much as heard a footstep down the hall, but for now, one semipublic kiss is happening.]
