[This new tidbit of information prompts her to look around the exhibition hall, where she loses herself to the menagerie of holographic fauna, some with scales, some feathers, some thick fur, all of them very much alive and creeping and sniffing and calling, and all at once it becomes quite overwhelming for someone who has never petted a cat let alone wander through a forest. The red planet wasn't exactly known for its teeming wildlife— quite the opposite.
