"I can't believe she's gone!" he whimpered.

"Dee was the best!" a golden Labrador at the bar exclaimed.

"She was a perfect slut," an otter beside him replied. "She didn't care what anyone thought, that's what she was and... and... it was perfect! Just the way she was, she was perfect!"

"Why?" the cat sobbed. "How could they... how could they!"

"The oligarchy," a slender rat girl replied. "I want them to be dead, all of them! Dead, like her!"

Growls of agreement went up around the tavern. Then the door opened and a shadow fell across it.

"We all love her," said a big wolf.

The whole tavern looked over at him. (The otter turned to the lab. "It's Bongo," he murmured, "from the Nakama!")

"We're going to make an official announcement soon," Bongo went on. "The Nakama wants the colony to know first. Dee is alive." He gave them a few seconds to murmur among themselves. "That's the good news," he added.

"There's bad news?" the rattess asked.

"For now, this part does not leave the colony," he went on. He looked around the bar; his muzzle and ears dropped and he sighed. "She's a brain in a jar," he said. Again, he gave the crowd a few seconds to take the information in. "Her brain was all that was left uninfected. By the time we found an effective antibiotic, it would have crossed her blood-brain barrier..."

"No!" the cat cried. "No, let her go! Let her go!"

Now the tavern turned their collective gaze on him.

"What?" Bongo cried, his teeth partly bared.

"She was a perfect slut!" the cat sobbed. "She loved it, we all loved her for it! How will she fuck with no body? How can she live that way?"

The cat went back to weeping, with a new emphasis. The crowd looked around at each other and tears started in more eyes. Bongo's ears went from combat position to merely lowered and he pressed his thin lips together.

"For now," Bongo announced, "don't talk to anybody outside the colony about Dee's body. It's very important. Let the rest of the system think she's still got one. Let the Nakama handle further announcements. We're not lying, just hiding part of the truth for now."
