nobody k nows how they even got onto the ship in the first place
they are terrible at maths and sciences but you know. theyre enthusiastic enough that they try hard to learn enough
for now they have a week long adjustment period to the faux gravity, nobody does much work except for ship maintenance as it is docked to the first space station check point before the warp jump border

so essentially gatto gets under everyones feet/is constantly in the way as they surreptitiously try to bump into the captain and various other officers that they have heart-eyes for

for now they are in charge of a small ant colony and an aquatic life experiment (they have to feed the ants and the goldfish)
