to USS Khitomer – StarBase 118 Star Trek PBEM RPG
((Shuttlebay, Deck 2, USS Khitomer, Ceram Archipelago))
El’Heem: Lieutenant.
Michaels: Lieutenant El'Heem. I am a bit... surprised you have been assigned to this team.
El’Heem: They required a science officer for the away team and Lieutenant Semara is going to have her hands full.
Michaels: That is true. It is also probable that these aliens have never seen a member of your species.
The shuttlebay doors opened. Lera and El'Heem stepped out. It was clear that Ras was the one drawing all the attention. He was, obviously, the only male on the team.
Semara: :: Slowly :: Two more...
Ohnari: Lieutenant El'Heem...do you have some information for us before we go?
Lera continued walking and joined the other women on the team. The marine was the only one Lera had never met.
El'Heem: Oh nothing that important Commander Ohnari ::glancing to Amelia without turning his head:: just that Captain Naxell has ordered me to be a part of the away team to represent the science posting in the delegation.
Michaels: And it should be apparent that I will be the engineer. :: the lack of reaction was deafening. :: If anyone cares.
Torado: I really wish I'd brought snacks for this. ::finger snap of realization, pointing at El’Heem:: But, hey! I guess we are!
oO Snacks? It must be what passed for a joke among marines. Bringing a male to a man-eating species was... Oh Lord. Oo
Semara: :: Lips pursing. :: Fine. :: Beat :: But if I'm pretendin' at first officer... :: Motion up and down Ras' height. :: we're doin' somethin' smart 'bout all this. :: Hand flourishing vaguely. :: I dunno, some kinda disguise. :: Beat, looking sideways. :: Talia?
Lera shifted her glance from Amelia to Talia to Amelia to Ras and back to Amelia.
Ohnari: Oh....::beat::: Ooooh....::clearing her throat:: I am pretty confident in my plastics abilities...::tilting her head:: I think he would make a rather fetching Redhead.
Torado: Oh! Oh yeah, that makes way more sense than “pet giraffe.”
Michaels: Oh. ::beat:: I understand now. :: beat :: We can not rely on them simply believing he is female.
El'Heem: Now wait a minute ladies…let’s not get carried away. Surely there is another option.
Semara: Oh, no. If I'm in charge a' this team and keepin' y'all safe, this is happenin'. :: A low, flirty chuckle. :: Don't worry, we'll make sure you're a very pretty woman. :: Coyly. :: 'Less you got a better idea, chief?
Michaels: A "very pretty" woman? That may be asking a good deal of Dr. Ohnari's skills. :: beat :: What will happen if they... um... look beyond his... excuse me... her "pretty" face for evidence of gender? Talia, can you... um... handle that in a less than permanent manner?
Ohnari: ::raising her hand:: They seem to have a less than desirable opinion on men, and considering it's Ensign Matthews we're rescuing...perhaps a little camouflage might be the thing. ::holding her palm in a vow:: And I swear on my integrity as a physician to reverse any temporary cosmetic changes.
Torado: Let's not commit ourselves to anything hasty, Doc. Maybe the Lieutenant and his, uh, special someone come to like things.
oO Special someone? Ras has a special someone? Someone that is not a mushroom? Oo
El'Heem: Torado, don’t give her- I mean them ideas. They’re practically foaming at the mouth.
Semara: Alright. We're almost overdue. Michaels and Torado, take the shuttle controls and take us out, thrusters only. Once we're clear, hail the alien ship and let's request a flight plan. Keep the approach slow to give a minute. :: Beat :: Talia, I know I ain't a nurse, but I'll make up for my biochem scores with fashion sense. Lemme know how I can help. :: A head tilt to the shuttle. :: Let's go. You got questions, ask 'em in the shuttle.
Torado: You got it. ::to Michaels:: I fly, you talk?
Michaels: That sounds good to me. :: turning to Ras and suppressing a smile :: Relax, Ras. I estimate that there at least a 5% probability that either Dr. Ohnari or Starfleet medical will be able to return you to your preferred configuration.
El'Heem: Alright…alright. If these are the conditions that are required for me to be on the away team. Then….let’s just get it over with.
Ohnari: ::her fingers steepled and chittered against each other in giddiness:: Lieutenant El'Heem, if you'll join me and Lieutenant Semara in the back of the shuttle…
