An Unexpected Encounter
I first became aware of Claribel while sitting in my 
tiny cubbyhole office, checking through technical 
stores inventory. 
A musical whistle beside my ear startled me. I 
assumed it came from the station intercom. When I 
looked up (hitting my head on an angle beam), I saw 
her: a small yellow canary, hanging motionless in the 
air with her wings folded at her sides. 
After we stared at each other for a minute, she did a 
curious backward loop that no earthbound canary 
could manage and departed with a few leisurely 
flicks.

Claribel's Secret
Sven didn't confess to Claribel's ownership for several days. By then, it no longer mattered
4she had become the station's general pet.
1
Smuggled Aboard
Sven had brought her on 
the last ferry from Earth 
when returning from 
leave.
2
Scientific Curiosity
He claimed he wanted to 
see how a bird would 
operate with no weight 
but still able to use its 
wings.
3
Perfect Adaptation
Claribel thrived and grew 
fat, having quickly 
learned to navigate in 
zero gravity.
