Columbia bad. Disintegrated on re-entry.

Tilde Messerli. Dammit.

If Kiki is at all unsteady on her feet I'd expect her to be pushed around in a wheelchair. Falling risks are taken very seriously.

Can Kiki sing, or an approximation thereof?

I'd expect bomb-sniffing dogs and fluoroscopes in the sorting facility.
