Timeline: 1100Hrs - November 9th, 2391

Lieutenant Moni Nasao blinked her large feline eyes as she went into the Green Dragon. Her uniform tended these days to consist of baggy cargo pants, a crop top and a large leather jacket, not no footwear and nothing that constrained her fur in any way, space or form, other then her crop top.

She went over to the bar as she brushed out her whiskers. "Allo Barkeep."

"Ms Nasao." Duval greeted her with a smile. "What can I get you?"

"Ahh.. just a glass of water please.. I'm waiting for my vic-err lunchmate."

"Your victim?" Duval inquired with a soft chuckle. "Fair enough." he rumbled. "I think thats him now." he indicated the door opening.

Leadfoot was definitely feeling like a victim, with his crotch still hurting quite badly. As was normal for him he walked in wearing nothing but his thick snow leopard like fur, but he couldn't walk just quite right, with muscles all over his body aching. Taking a seat next to Moni he said to Duval. "I don't care what you get me, just get me something strong."

Duval blinked. "Okay. The strongest Caitian alcohol I can find... coming right up... and I'll leave the bottle." Duval turned and went off as Nasao peered at him, a perky smile playing at her lips. "Mmmm..." before she started purring at him, while she was giving him 'that' look. "I wasn't too abusive... was I?" she inquired.

Duval returned a moment later. "Caitian Firewine. Twenty Three Forty One. A very good year..." he placed the bottle before Leadfoot with two glasses. "Oh the house... enjoy." he paused. "call me if you need anything further..." and with that the massive human turned and slipped away like a shadow in the night.

Leadfoot took the first shot then replied," My mind says no, my body is saying yes."

Nasao looked very happy. "Excellent." she responded. "but not for awhile...." as she poured herself about a third of a glass before she lifted the glass to her nose, then she inhaled the scent of the drink, closing her eyes as she let it fill her. "Mmmm.. Nothing quite like Firewine." she paused before she took a sip of her drink, letting the liquid fire burn as it went down towards her stomach. "Now.. thats good..." as she peered down at Leadfoot since he was shorter then she was.

Leadfoot paused for a moment, thinking of what to say, he then added. "Well, now is as good of time as any to mention it. The Akurians did fix my "issue"." He looked down for a moment then continued," Well, it was fixed, I think it might be broken again though."

Nasao paused as she very nearly spat out the mouthful of booze she was drinking, she swallowed it just in time but she coughed all the same, while turning her head away from Leadfoot just so she could not splatter him with booze or gas him with booze breathe. "Say what!?"

Leadfoot sighed then added," My infertility issue, that was fixed by the Akurians while we where hanging out on their ship."

Nasao blinked. "This... is a surprise." she paused. "Are you interested in having children with me or something??" she inquired bluntly.

Leadfoot shrugged as he had another drink. "Well I'm not opposed to the idea."

"Oh good." Nasao responded. "At least if I become pregnant... I know who to blame... other then myself of course." as she peered at him. "Now like some others I could name."

Leadfoot had no idea who Moni Nasao was talking about, but he didn't really get the chance to ask before he noticed three more Caitian's walking into the green dragon. He didn't recognized any of them, but they stood out with their snow leopard like fur patterns. It wasn't often that leadfoot saw another Caitian with a similar fur pattern as his own.

Nasao turned her attention who what Leadfoot was looking at as she blinked her large eyes. "New arrivals?" she did not recognize them and this was implicit in her tone.

Leadfoot studied them momentarily. The lead one, a female, didn't wear a thing, walking around in nothing but her fur. One of the males wore a vest with engineering yellow and nothing else, while the other male wore a long shirt and pants. Leadfoot made the comment, "With how thick our breed's fur is, I don't see how that guy can stand wearing those clothes."

"I'm often wearing baggy pants and a heavy jacket..." Nasao reminded him. "Yet I do fine.." she added. "Maybe its personal preference and maybe he has a nudity taboo..."

Leadfoot gave Moni a look. "Well, you don't have a super thick fur coat intended for very cold environments. It's kinda rare to see caitians with that breed to wear clothes."

Nasao regarded her companion. "Well... Why not ask him." before she turned her head and with a look to the new arrivals, she beckoned then over to her.

Kagraa was the first to notice the black furred Caitian waving at them. Getting the attention of her two brothers she mentioned," I wonder who that is."

Before either Azivu or Agar could say anything," Kagraa walked over to Moni and Leadfoot. "Hi, do i know you two."

"Nope." Nasao responded in a cheery tone. "You have such a lovely fur pattern..... I'm envious."

Kagraa looked at her curiously. "Um, thanks." She then looked at ledfoot, whom also had the snow leopard pattern, and not wearing a single piece of clothing. "Ah, I see a kindred spirit with you."

Leadfoot looked puzzled while Kagraa noticed something odd with his scent, prompting her to ask," Though i'm curious about something, You don't smell like a typical caitian."

Leadfoot shrugged. "Eh, I'm part Eeiaouan. What do you mean by kindred spirit."

Kagraa gave off a smile. "Well, your not ashamed to show off your fur, that's what I mean." She then wrapped an arm around Agar. "unlike my shy brother here."

Nasao blinked her large eyes. "He's a nudist. What can I say?" she inquired.

Leadfoot just shrugged, "Yeah but I do it for comfort reasons, I'm not trying to make a statement." He then turned his attention back to the other three caitians," Don't worry, Your perfectly at home on this ship, with all the akurians on the ship. Lots of furries running around whom dislike clothing."

Kagraa looked curious. "Um, who?"

Leadfoot had to give the matter some thought," Well lets see, with just the department heads, the captain, the chief ops officer, the chief TAO, the Marine commander, the CAG, and the airboss. So yeah, more than half the senior staff consists of furry people whom don't wear any clothing at all."

Kagraa blinked in surprise," Oh wow, that's a lot, whats an Akurian."

Leadfoot looked around the room, and spotted Aerin and Karryn, and pointing at them. "Those two are Akurian."

Kagraa looked over at the Akurians," Oh wow, they're adorable."

Nasao peered across the lounge at the two in question. while off to their left the doors opened and a rather large looking hulking being walked through the door, he too was covered in short fur. "He.. is also Akurian." Nasao commented.

Azivu's curiosity got the better of him," So that massive ship we saw on our way in, I suppose that is one of their ships."

Leadfoot nodded. "Yep, the Ryazar's shield is an Akurian battlecruiser."

"I have no idea what the fleet line up looks like... but I can guess." Nasao responded.

"Lots of big ships, from what I'm told," Leadfoot added.

Kagraa didn't comment any further on the matter, instead she asked. "So what are your names."

"Lieutenant Moni Nasao, tactical.." the larger of the two responded before she picked up her drink and downed the rest of the contents in the glass.

"And I'm leadfoot, 4th wing commander," Leadfoot responded.

Kagraa gave leadfoot a funny look," Leadfoot, that's not a real name. Whats your real name."

Leadfoot gave off a sigh," OK, yeah, its a callsign, most people have trouble pronouncing my real name."

Not surprising," Azivu added," A lot of Caitian names are trouble for others to pronounce."

"But in case you haven't noticed, we are Caitan and aren't going to have that problem" Kagraa finished. "Now, give us your real name."

Leadfoot sighed. "Alright, my actual name is Kthaara Taavoro."

Kagraa smiled. "There, that wasn't too hard, now was it," Well I'm Kagraa." She then wrapped an arm around Agar," This shy one is Agar."

Azivu said his own name. "Yeah and I'm Azivu."

"Welcome aboard." Nasao responded. "Show some respect." as her claws slowly came out. "Remember where you are."

"Trouble?" Duval inquired in a interested tone as he regarded the five people. "Is there a problem?."

"That..... remains to be seen Sergeant Major." Nasao addressed Duval by rank rather then name.

Leadfoot quickly noticed Nasao getting antsy," Relax, its not a big deal." He then looked at Duval, " No there is no problem, these guys aren't the kind to start a fight, they aren't the typical marine idiots your used to dealing with."

Duval raised an eyebrow as he regarded Leadfoot. Nasao facepalmed as she whimed softly. "Noooo!" she sighed. "Kthaara.... why?"

Duval suddenly laughed. "If you ever find yourself looking for work son. come see me.." he turned to the three new arrivals. "What can I get for you three?" he inquired.

Agar shook his head. "No I'm good, I don't need anything.

Azivu was quick to make his pick. "Firewine please."

Kagraa on the other hand couldn't make up her mind, so being the adventurous type she replied. "Um, I don't know yet, got any recommendations."

Duval raised an eyebrow. "To eat or drink?"

Kagraa shrugged. "Just a drink."

Duval thought that this was a really bad idea. "Alright. I assume real and not synthale?" he inquired. "Then I need you to sign this." as he plucked a PADD from where it had been sitting moments earlier as Duval called up the document and then he offered it to the Caitian. "So you're family can't come after me should something go wrong... I am running a business afterall."

Kagraa gave Duval a funny look. "O.K. never mind, I'll pass then."

"Alright then." and with that Duval turned and moved off to assist someone else.

Nasao slowly blinked her large eyes. "Well it could be worse.."
