How about robot squirrels (Secret Squirrels) that run all the infrastructure, plant and harvest the bio domes, and run around through squirrel-sized tunnels? Only speak in squeaks and chitters? Maybe they'd hatch from the nuts of special bio-metallic trees hidden in the secret depths of the station? The squirrels would be fiercely protective of the secrecy of the various residents of the station.
Just a thought...
Squirrels. This is so messed up that it simply cannot be on purpose.. as accidental quirks go, I love it.
Would it make sense for the squirrels to stop functioning and self-destruct if someone took one away from the station?
