Default Across the Equator (a Mouser Tail) part 1

The change of watch would be soon, but the creaking of ropes in the rigging
and the sighing of the wind in the sails punctuated the silence in the
pre-dawn light aboard the Mouser. Below deck Persia was washing prior to
starting breakfast. Cap'n Pine Cone had just used the litter box and was
preparing for his morning briefing. Tanada was prodding sleepy cabin kits
and bits awake. In short, it was a typical morning on the Mouser.

Then the collision alarm went off. Humans and cats scattered to their
emergency stations. The watch cats anxiously scanned the ocean around the
ship looking for the cause of the disturbance. Captain Pine Cone ordered
everyone to stay in place while a team of 1st Sergeant Huey's Marines
searched the ship. After a while the claxon ended and the marines came
back and reported that they couldn't find any reason for the alarm to sound.
All hands were told to go back to their regular stations and schedule.

An hour later, during first breakfast, the collision alarm went off. Again
the humans and cats went to their emergency stations. Again the ship was
searched and the alarm turned off. Breakfast finished with all the
participants edgy and chattering excitedly about this new event in their
lives. Speculation about who or what caused the alarm was running wild.

Once more the alarm blared out. Once again the humans and cats went to
their emergency stations. Once again the ship was searched and the alarm
turned off, except that the alarm wasn't turned on. Cap'n Pine Cone asked
Scotty and the engineering department to take a look at the system and see
if they could find a cause for the repeated disturbances. After Scotty
reported back, the captain had 1st Sergeant Huey place a guard on the alarm
switch and called a meeting of the department heads.

"Cats," the captain mewed. "Scotty reports that his department checked the
system over and cannot find any reason why the alarm should have gone off."

"That's right Cap'n," Scotty agreed. "Of course we'll go over it again if
we can't find a breathing cause for alarm." Some of the department heads
laughed nervously. Scotty had an active sense of humor, but it wasn't too
appreciated right then.

Right then, the alarm went off a fourth time. After all the humans and cats
rushed to their emergency stations, the marines guarding the alarm system
reported that no one was around other then themselves and the button had not
been pressed. The human first mate, Jason, put on his diving gear and went
over the side to see if he could find anything under water.

An hour later, the meeting was resumed. "Jason says that he couldn't find
anything underwater," Cap'n Pine Cone meowed. "We need to find out what is
going on before some disaster happens. Suggestions?"

Across the equator from who? If they are across the equator from Yowie
and Flippy and Alfonze and Britta I would suggest they must be near
Transylvania and friends of Barnabus (who was named for Barnabus
Collins) have come to visit and are playing pranks.

Julie and Barnabus the vampire (b)cat.

And she doesn't appreciate water, either! The things she does for this
crew, honestly!
