Hydroponics is the Chief's favorite part of the ship. This isn't because of any special function it serves, but because it's usually quiet and mostly empty. He can get away from the rest of the crew in here, for a little while. It's space to think.
He has a lot of thinking to do.
He has no particular set goal in mind, just pacing some of the usual paths. However, something seems to be following him. A whiteish bug of some kind roughly the size of a german shepherd. It scuttles along behind the Spartan as he goes, and he seems to be ignoring it.
Has he even noticed it? It's impossible to tell.

"What's that?" Point.

Thankyou, Chief. Very helpful. It seems to have noticed Samus and comes scuttling over to her, waving antennae everywhere. It seems to be investigating her armor, still chittering excitedly.

The bug "tastes" Samus' arm with its antennae and investigates her hand with its mouth parts for a second, apparently curious.

Samus is... oddly serious about this question. She keeps most of her attention on their new "friend," offering some scritches under its "chin." What, does she have experience with these?
no subject
The bug warbles and chitters some more happily and settles beside Samus. She's passed whatever that test was.
"Seems to like you, too."
no subject
"Followed you out at all?" She turns the conversation back on him.

He's never seen an animal leave hydroponics, anyway. Probably for the best, he's noticed a few good sized carnivores.

Absentmindedly, she still strokes its back. She doesn't have much of a problem treating it like a pet, "I wonder if it just likes the armor."
