Mission: Mission 80: The Arms are fair. When the Intent of Bearing Them is Just
Location: ACSF Noble
Timeline: Apr 20th 2392

It took the better part of two days for Alyssa and her crew to sort through the wreckage that was Enterprise-E to retrieve peoples belongings, and now, her crew finally finished that task. Unfortunately a good chunk of the crew lost all of their belongings as their quarters had been completely destroyed. Among them included Massie Parks. However today was the day the Akurians would allow their patients to leave the hospital and roam around. So she, Norsvin, and Saunders went to the recovery rooms to help their friends get on their feet.

Zeri stretched and yawned at the arrival of her crewmates, she was ready to get up and start moving around again. Massie was a little more reluctant, having wrapped herself in a blanket the Akurians had given her, but it wasn't a practical solution.

Worf was one of those who had lost everything, a plasma conduit had breached in his quarters, venting superheated plasma into his home and destroying everything in its path. He sighed softly as he was suddenly thankful that he had left Spot behind with Geordi LaForge for a few weeks while he was on this assignment, now that looked to be permanent rather then anything else.

Worf had served with Geordi for many years and he knew that La Forge's wife, a woman named Tamala Harstad who Worf had also served with for several years. Martok had supplied Worf with some clothing tailored to his size so now he was wearing simple clothing which ensured he remained warm. He smiled despite his mood. "How is everyone feeling?" he inquired of the gathering around him.

Massie didn't say anything while Zeri smoothed out her fur, then commented. "I could really use a bath."

"I think its been a while since we all bathed." Saunders responded with a light tone in her voice before she peeled off the cassock she had been wearing, she the handed it back to Worf. "Thank you for the loan of it."

"Thank you for looking after it." Worf accepted it from her before he slid it on, over his shoulder and moments later, he looked more like his normal self again.

Alyssa whom had already used the Akurian baths a couple of times commented. "Well, I hope you all are ready for an unusual bathing experience, these Akurians don't exactly use sonic showers, or even private bathing facilities for that matter."

Worf turned his head to regard his Chief Engineer. "How do you mean?" he inquired of her. "The term: Unusual has such possibilities.."

Sounders began to chuckle softly, she had already experienced the bathing experience that Alyssa McKinley was speaking about first hand. "Don't worry Worf.... You'll enjoy this one.... Do you like swimming?"

"From time to time.." Worf responded. "Wait... Communal bathing?"

"Yep." Saunders responded before she reached up and over her shoulders with both hands, mostly to redo her hair and tie it up in a quick but simple french platt. "You'll enjoy this one."

Zeri pulled Massie out of her bed. "Comeon, you need a bath too."

Massie didn't outwardly protest but her reluctance showed. Norsvin then led the way to the bath's knowing he himself could use one.

Worf simply followed everyone else in silence, few minutes later the sizeable gathering reached their destination. "I will see you all... shortly." before he looked around as if seeking somewhere isolated to change out of his clothing.

Worf simply shrugged before he began peeling off his clothing, until he was nude and then he pulled on a pair of shorts he had found in the left hip pocket of his pants, one could see the rather evil marks on his chest where the shrapnel had punched right through him. "Interesting." the large Klingon commented evenly.

Saunders smiled as she likewise began stripping off her own clothing, several minutes later she was wearing a one piece suit which covered everything but didn't help her looks much, she wasn't here to be admired, she was here to bathe and indulge.

Tial turned to regard his wife who was standing next to him. "It could be worse... Right?"

Rayal nodded her head. "Indeed... fortunately I planned ahead." and with that she began peeling off her uniform, others around them did likewise, moments later they were all either wearing bathing attire or nothing at all.

Th bathroom was quite large, this particular one was designed to look like a river, complete with trees and plants surrounding the water. Dozens of Akurians and other Bevokris species from all age ranges and genders where present, including children, either bathing or playing or both. Even a few humans where present, though obviously they where OISU military service members and quite used to the setup as not one of them even wore a bathing suit and they spoke in a language unrecognizable to the Enterprise crewmembers.

Zeri looked around commenting. "Well, this is an interesting setup, I like it already."

Alyssa had little choice but to go nude, as most of her clothing and belongings where destroyed along with the Enterprise, but she was starting to get used to it.

Worf decided he needed to bathe more then anything else so he walked into the water. It was cool and pleasantly refreshing.

Meanwhile several Klingons were all clustered around, wondering where the changing facilities were located. Doran sighed before he stripped off completly, he then took a moment before he gathered his clothing and made sure he would be able to find it later before he went over to the large river. He wondered if this was the bathing area or if this was a leisure area. "Interesting setup they have here." he said aloud.

As if conjured from the shadows. Commander Shireen Yamaguchi appeared from behind a rather large tree. "You'll get used to it.... Or you'll have a psychotic episode." she gave him a rather sinister grin. "I wonder if it'll be the former but I hope it's the latter."

Doran regarded Shireen. "Did I wrong you in another life Shireen Yamaguchi?" he demanded of her as she simply crossed her arms under her breasts. "Where does this intolerable hatred of me come from?"

"I spent the last your years... With the exception of the last four months at war with your kind... Fighting to prevent your asshole of a Chancellor from terminating the Federation... I fought in the Four years war... But you wanna know why I hate you so much?"

"I do. Because I refuse to atone for faults not my own!"

"Oh thats rich... Klingons don't know the meaning of the word..." Yamaguchi growled. "They never did... I lost two children on Inverness Five... They weren't a part of your damned war.. yet they were slain all the same..."

Shireen knew she was attracting attention yet she decided to go all in. "All Klingons are guilty and I hate you all for what you did."

Doran meanwhile simply smiled. "You're just angry that you didn't get to kill the bastard responsible for the murders of children.. So... All must suffer and all must Pay!"

"Yes!" Yamaguchi snapped back at him.

At this point most of the people in the room where giving the two rather odd stares. One, an Alizure female whom was near the enterprise crew commented to Saunders. "What are all of those people doing over there standing around looking like they are lost."

"Oh?" Saunders turned. "Ahh.. Those are some of the Klingons from the Bortasque." she explained. "They have a rather strong nudity taboo.. Much like many of my own crew." the older woman explained. "Like me.." she sighed.

Finally one of the klingons, after wandering around, asked the Alizure female," Excuse me, where are the changing rooms."

All she gave the klingon was a very puzzled look and a question," Um, whats a changing room."

The klingon looked a bit frustrated," You know, a room where you change clothes, in private."

The Alizure shrugged. "Um, yeah we don't have rooms designated for that purpose. In case you haven't noticed, the vast majority of us don't even wear clothing at all, so such rooms are pretty pointless. Only place you might find those is in the bath houses in the human and UAF districts of the ship, but I have no clue where those are at."

The Klingon sighed in disappointment. "Oh, OK, and then she wandered back over to her group to deliver the news to the rest of them."

Saunders raised an eyebrow "Districts?" she inquired.

"There are often anywhere from a half million up to two million people on this ship at any one time." Minske commented as she came up.
"This ship is designed to act as a mobile starbase for entire battle fleets, and one of those functions is that it houses all the civilians and family's of the service members in a battlefleet. So yeah the ship is basically a mobile city."

Saunders smiled. "Nice." she paused. "I assume a stupidly heavily fortified fortress of a city."

"With the firepower of over a hundred battleships." Minske commented in a nonchalant manner.

"I want one.." Saunders responded with a smile. "Where might I obtain one of these?"

"Requires an OISU membership first," Minske replied with a smile.

Meanwhile Zeri was starting to fuss at Massie. "Come on Massie, you don't have to be so prudish, I'm just trying to get you cleaned up, your a mess."

Massie finally reluctantly dropped the blanket she was using to cover herself which revealed how disheveled and matted her fur was. It also revealed that her fur didn't preserve her modesty, unusual for her breed. However, few around her cared too much for that kind of thing, and the Alizure female commented. "I don't know why you would want to hide your pretty fur pattern."

Massie didn't know what to say while Zeri started off by brushing her.

Saunders turned. "I get to be a prude simply because I don't have fur and I have a nudity taboo.." the older woman responded. "I've never understood that about you Massie... You're more of a prude them I am.." she turned to the other being present. "Excuse me a moment." and with that. Saunders turned and walked off. She returned a few minutes later in naught but her skin. "Y'know... I have to admit... its much more civilized without a taboo.."

Massie finally spoke up. "Well, my fur doesn't offer a very effective covering of myself, I don't want to offend anyone."

The Alizure female was a little lost, so she asked. "Um, I'm not really familiar with your culture, but why do you try to hide your bodies behind clothing and what are you trying to cover up, I don't really get it."

Saunders raised an eyebrow. "Some Caitians can't wear clothing because their fur is long and thick and others its thinner and shorter, depends on the breed.." Saunders raised an eyebrow. "Massie here is... a Snow leopard breed... Which is... strange..." she turned. "Tell us something... Would you be offended if she showed naught but her fur?" she asked of the Alizure female.

The Alizure was confused. "Um, no, of course not, why would I?. I personally hate wearing any clothing and I know that Akurians with similar fur patters equally dislike clothes, so why would I be offended." She shifted her position on the tree branch she was sitting on and in the process showed her vagina to Massie, whom immediately averted her eyes. The Alizure however was completely oblivious to Massie's reaction.

"Well Most of my species wear clothing to cover our reproductive parts." Saunders explained. "Massie... Why do you wear clothing anyway..?"

Massie finally admitted. "Well, my mother always told me it wasn't proper for me to show of my privates to everyone, and that only those whom are asking to get raped do that."

The Alziure female seemed rather taken back by the statement, then commented," Well, that's an utterly absurd attitude. Who the hell thinks like that."

"Someone who was... raised in a household with aliens who did not understand how Caitian's think." Saunders turned. "Massie... Were you raised to be a Terran?" she inquired. "Your parents.... Were they harsh with you at times?"

Massie only admitted. "Well, my adopted parents were human."

Norsvin rolled his eyes, "that might explain a few things."

Saunders nodded her head in agreement. "Indeed it would." she responded lightly. "Not all humans are as forward thinking as we are.."

Norsvin looked at the Alizure female then back at Saunders. "Heh, their heads would probably explode. The sight of all the furry vagina's and butts would drive them insane." he then caught sight of two Akurians getting very comfortable with each other in one of the more secluded area's of the room. "And that too."

Saunders simply shrugged. "So others are getting it on. It doesn't bother me in the least." she then smiled. "Besides.. I try to keep an open mind on other cultures and their customs and the like... Its why Worf selected me to be his Exec..."

One of the cats that lived in the bath house came up to Saunders and rubbed up on her, purring.

Saunders gently petted the small cat. "Hey sweetie... Do you mind if I pick you up?" she asked while she blew the cat some kisses, while she gently ran her fingers through the cats fur.

Minske smiled. "Yeah just one of the many cats we have roaming the ship, and other animals too. "Pointing out a mother duck and her ducklings on the other side of the river.

"If this sweetie didn't have a home... I'd give her the one I have." Saunders responded evenly. "Mmm.. a cat that like water."

Minske shrugged. "Eh, most of the kitties are very well cared for, the ship pretty much is their home, That being said, we do have cats that you can take to live with you in your quarters here on this ship. Or even ones that you could adopt permanently."

Saunders gently picked up the cat. Kitty wailed softly as Saunders gently cradled the cat in her arms. "So... you have a home kitty?" she inquired as the cat gently touched her nose with her own.

The Alizure, seeing the difficulty Zeri was having with Massie, got off her tree branch and waded over to the two caitians, saying. "Alright here, I'll help you with that.

Massie now was quite uncomfortable with two in the fur females trying to groom her, but she couldn't work up a protest.

Saunders turned as she was hip deep in water, before she gently set the cat back onto the large branch, before she settled in to watch the Caitian female getting groomed but she noticed there were issues with her fur. "Mmmm.."

Zeri looked over at Saunders. "Yeah its a little matted."

"Considering she's been raised like she was human... Yeah.." Saunders responded evenly. "I'd bet she's also been abused too."

Massie cringed at the statement but didn't say anything.
