Axarr is hoping to get a companion creature from the any world she can.

DARKLING DAWN and CY DRAGONSTAKE and ABSTRACT DESTINY
--
Woodstock knocked at Axarr's door, and hesitated before stepping inside. The woman beyond the door would often have a weapon in her hands when surprised, so that was always an adventure. Fortunately neither of them had hurt one another in their time together.
"Heyo," Woodstock said, "I have ... a surprise for you..."
Suddenly the door flew open, and the frizzy-topped vaguely feline general lept into view. "A surprise! For me? Is it cool?"
"Well I think it is," Woodstock said, with a grin. "Want to know how it got here?"
"I just want it, get out of the way!"
Axarr Madness lived up to her name, sometimes. Today was no exception. But when she jumped out of the doorway into the brightly lit hall what she saw prodded her to sober up and stop her eager jumping.
For there sat a small black colored dragonet, obviously young and recently hatched. He looked bored.
"That's... Woody that's a dragon," she whispered. Her whole demeanor changed all of a sudden. "You ... you brought a dragon to me?"
"I know you've been looking at them for a long time, and none of them has ever really been right for you." Woodstock grinned and cracked two of her hands knuckles. "But I think this one is. Now do you want to hear how he came to be here?"
Axarr waved at the young dragon, and he tilted his head a little. He was interested, but only in a kind of haphazard way. Not distracted by other things, just ... not remarkably focused on the goings on near by.
Woodstock told Madness of a clutch of eggs that had hatched recently on a distant Nexus world. It was no mistake then, that when a certain tall blue man stuck out his thumb outside the dragonry, the Caledrus with its improbability drive, picked him up.
Shard passed the little arrogant black dragon to Woodstock, begging out quickly and returning to his own universe post-haste. He knew he existed in the universe where Woodstock and the rest did - but he didn't want to meet that version. He shuddered to think about what things The Shardh got into...
So here was this dragon.
Woodstock said, "Shard told me that he hatched, and told his parents off, and then wandered right up to him wanting to be part of the Kshau Protectorate. I guess that's as good a method as any, of finding the right dragon for you, eh?"
Axarr turned with an impish delight in her eye, "you did?" The dragon jolted his attention to the present, and nodded once. "Good job! Lousy good for nothings, if they can't find the right people to bring to their own eggs!"
The black, whose name was Juth, stood up.
Now that's what I am talking about. Not human, are you?
"Nope, not a drop." Axarr laughed. "Come on in little guy. We can work out how much havoc you and me will have, once we get you a place to sleep."
As he passed Woodstock, the dragonet nodded at the four-armed Betelgeusian. Obliged. Not much, but I am obliged. You and that blue man have my gratitude.
".... Thanks," Woodstock said, as the door closed on the pair. Well, at last, Axarr had her dragon.
Keep Reading below!
Not more than a few weeks after this hatchling came into the General's life, something else began to peck at her mind. Black Juth was aware of it too, only he couldn't place words to it.
Axarr finally did.
"It sounds like someone's knocking on my mind," she said.
That would be it, yes, Juth replied. Halfway interested, because the sound had been annoying him to no end, he said, What do you think you ought to do about it?
"Head to the Improbability Drive," she said. The little black tagged along - casual-like because he hardly wanted to seem like he was overeager about anything. The corridors near the Improbability Drive were well guarded - but no one would ever stop Madness from entering there. Especially not with her new dragon.
The interface for the drive had been modified slightly, one didn't have to use slide-rules or even a calculator to find a probability rating - one merely had to speak.
Someone probably had stuck a Babel fish into the matrix, which did the job of calculating and formulating nicely.
"I want to have whoever's knocking on my mind, here in this space with us." Axarr said.
Apparently that was a bit of a tall order for the drive, for it took several moments to gear up and turn on. When the 'it's okay - press this button now to start the drive' light came on, Juth hit it with a sound swipe of his tail.
***
Moments later, when reality re-asserted itself, there was not just one dragon sitting beside Axarr Madness.
There were two. Juth, of course. But also... a green wearing a cute hat had materialized beside him. She looked to be slightly older than a hatchling, but couldn't possibly be a full sized adult.
Oooh look at that! It's pretty! MINE! I'm going to keep it! She exclaimed, pouncing on Juth. The black dragon gave off a loud bellow, but was muffled by the green's slightly superior bulk. He's just adorable! And look at you! She turned on Madness.
"Isn't that special," Madness said with a grin. "Now I have two."
What are you talking about, I have YOU!
*** Then... what? A visitor? ***
After that Visitation? (genmad2.htm below)
"This reminds me of the old days in the Galactic Rangers," Axarr said, slurred a bit because she'd been drinking for several hours. Stivr' had too, but he was just as incomprehensible as always. They spent the next few days like this, either sleeping, touring the ship, or drinking themselves blind.
It was a reasonably good life, but it wasn't why they were here... now was it.
Axarr woke to the summons of the dragonry, it was to be an absolutely private hatching because of the nature of the creatures. Why they couldn't just come out to an audience, Axarr wasn't sure.
She became rapidly clear on it when the sort-of queen of the clutch ate a hatchling - insisting that it simply 'not be'. With a shudder, Axarr realized that there was a bit more to the problem that Schroeder had mentioned, these dragons would be difficult - but they were also half-hydra, and Axarr's only experience with true hydra was Inga off at Caledrus - the thirty-seven headed and rather friendly one. Hydra apparently weren't all fun and games.
Axarr was the second called, and she immediately noticed that it was out of alphabetic order the way that they'd advertised. Maybe there was some reason, she wasn't sure, they didn't hang out with the others attending this clutch.
Fortunately, no one expected the people here to actually bond to the dragonets, the half-hydras were going to be a handful to care for. When Axarr's name came up, she dutifully went to Schroeder's side. He had to call a name twice, Remeg, before the little blue came stumbling forward.
He wove a bit, he looked to Axarr to be a bit stoned. His tone even said so - "... hi," he said, dreamily. Axarr thought he was pretty cute, clueless but cute. They went off, still weaving a bit, to the food. She found that guiding him by his tail worked best - that way, he could be tugged a bit to stop before he hit things...
He'd have stumbled into the engineering room at least a couple times, he pressed buttons without asking (which on a ship like the Caledrus was a bit dangerous - they had a zoo on board, the infinite improbability drive and many other such things that button-pressing could damage), but he was utterly charming at the same time.
Because he was smart - whether he knew it or not, the tall strong looking blue was filled with facts. Mostly useless, but facts and figures, clever ways of looking around problems, though he wasn't apt to actually solve any problems, he often blurted out an answer that he'd realized while one of his heads was in that delusional state. Sometimes they were simple things, "cut the midrange, drop the bass", and sometimes, he would go on lengthy discourses about the nature of color or the philosophical yearnings of the personification of the letter R. Most times, people didn't listen.
Axarr listened, and eventually knew when she could ignore, and when she would want to record or write some of it down. He was insightful about a third of the time. But rarely when his main head was having a bad day. Those came often enough that Axarr kept a calendar about it, and like clockwork he'd slip into a weird phase. She had the other two dragons watching out for him too.
And they... were a bit put off at first about how much effort and time this newcomer had taken away from them. But really they weren't bonds of Axarr, they were friends. Almynth slowly grasped that he would be remaining with them - along with Stivr's odd addition - so she got clingy over the hathydra. It became her duty to watch for his signs of degrading, while it was Juth's plan to keep him occupied and observe his behaviors otherwise.
So in this way, they got along fine in the big dragon area attached to the Caledrus.
