The space station crew was uninterested in Claribel and hardly noticed her presence after she was discovered.
False. The crew was very fond of Claribel and she became a 'general pet' after Sven confessed to her ownership. The story shows the crew's concern when she was found unconscious, their distress, and their relief when she revived. They actively helped conceal her from visiting VIPs and passed around the oxygen bottle to help her.
Explanation
The story contradicts this statement multiple times. The narrator says 'Claribel was a general pet,' indicating she was beloved by all. When Sven found her unconscious, 'we all waited in hushed silence' and were 'all equally distressed.' The crew's collective effort to revive her and their emotional investment in her wellbeing shows they were deeply attached to her.
