Hello boys and girls. This is your resident sultry Med Bay doc here with another important announcement.

I know. You're excited. I'll give you a moment to contain yourselves. [Dry as can be. It's not often that she does video. But.... This is important. She pulls down her collar to show a thick choker that snaps shut on the side, with a button on the opposite side of the neck.]

This little piece of jewelry isn't really the kinky thing it looks like. Remember that prosthetic project I was working on? Well, I had a side-goal. In the end, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

What's so important about that? Well...

[She pushes the button on the side of the collar, and her face is suddenly more like a human woman's. Complete with hair.] The prevention in this case being "don't get caught where you might get your ass kicked".

If you're headed out into a place where your species doesn't hang out? I'll rig up a face for you and offer you one of these. Two hours of battery power. Bring it back when you're done, don't use it to be an asshole, and be careful with it. I'm not giving you a new one if you mess up that one. I made these for when we had to do hazardous work like we had to do on Emiri, so I do want them returned when you're done.

The catch is you can't be over seven feet tall or under four feet for this to work. Other than that? Anything else within that range I can make it work. We also have some lovely magicians and gods and other individuals that lean towards inexplicable here who I'm sure can give you a temporary makeover. I'll be here in Med Bay if you need me.

... wait what? How's a collar thing...


Kinky?

[imaginary_wife]

Because some people wear them to pretend they're other people's pets and they get off on it.

[Doc Yewll no Doc Yewll don't.]

Don't worry about it.

[redshitlord]

Wh--

They do what? Why would...? That.



What?

[imaginary_wife]

Yep.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Oh, shiny.

Thank you, Doctor Yewll.

[imaginary_wife]

No problem. Hope it makes any trips go smoother.

Too bad some people's natural good looks can't get them out of trouble all the time.

[redshitlord]

Why?

[Sideswipe don't ask that.]

[imaginary_wife]

I don't really know. It was never my bag. But I know it makes the night porters money and hell, if it helps the economy and no one gets hurt then it can't be all that bad.

[He'll still have to live in horrible, horrible mystery.]

I think you look better without the hair.

[Oh btw guess who's back on the Moira? Although it shouldn't come off as too much of a surprise that she didn't stick around on Del Pascia.]

[imaginary_wife]

Thanks. Every Indogene I know that's had some put on them hates the constant grooming. From what I hear it's a pain in the ass.

Since you didn't show up here I'll take it you're not hurt.

[devilofohara]

It's not that bad. I like having it, I just think you look better without.

[They both look their best when they're not trying to be someone else, she guesses.]

I'm not. Those things back there weren't a problem for me.

[That's not strictly true, but they didn't cause physical damage at least.]

[imaginary_wife]

Yeah, well. Scales aren't all they're cut out to be. I shed if I get sick.

Good to know, though. I was worried.

[At least she knows she had support.]

[That is amazing, he wants to use it for bad things and not just blame all his misdeeds on Superman.]

Can we customise the appearance ourselves? I don't think blonde would suit me.

[saveyourserpent]

So where do we get the kinky ones.

[His voice is flat but it's just about impossible for him to keep a straight face and it's obvious he's holding back laughter. Good job Liquid.]

[t65]

How does that work? Holotechnology?

[devilofohara]

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. [She thinks, at least. She's never had to shed scales before but it doesn't sound like a good time.] I'd be upset if my hair fell out when I got sick. It takes a long time to grow back.

[She hesitates a bit before replying to the second half of Yewll's message.]

I'm sorry. You shouldn't worry about me, though.

Re: video

[imaginary_wife]

From your local dispensary of adult paraphernalia or as a request to our tailors to make their day a little more interesting.

Re: text;

[imaginary_wife]

You can but I'm going to keep track of what faces you use.

We have a little bit of a murder problem on this ship so I want to keep track.

[imaginary_wife]

Yup. I've been using it in producing artificial skin for some of the higher level prosthetics.

[saveyourserpent]

Know what? I'm almost tempted now. Just to see how they'd take it.

In all seriousness, though, that's an interesting piece of equipment. An old friend of mine'd ever love it or declare it an affront to his craft.

[imaginary_wife]

It's not the way Indogenes usually wear new faces. But most of the people here wouldn't be going into it for the long haul.

[And she pushes the button on her collar again and she's back to normal.]

ever and either are not the same word i can proofread i swear

[saveyourserpent]

I'd suspect not. Looks damn useful for short missions, though. You have a different method, too, then?

[Liquid can't not be curious about it.]

[ersatzeverything]

That. Is. Awesome.

How do I sign up to get one, and how much of my soul do I need to sell?

[redshitlord]

That's. Uh.

Okay then.




So! Moving on! You uh, know anything about the holomatter things the other Bots talk about?

[imaginary_wife]

Not specifically but I am a lady that likes to be shown new technology.

Who do I have to see to have a peek? [The more things she can do, the better.]
