Mission: Mission 83: Gender-Blender
Location: Roanoke/Ryazars shield
Timeline: Apr 24 2392

Teval was waiting in his ready room when both Lasky and Ra'Vak walked in, Ra'Vak carrying the report on the latest disaster. Teval asked. "So whats the damage?."

Ra'Vak dropped the PADD on the desk. "Well, whatever happened to the transporter, it sure as hell was through. The entire system is completely fried.

Teval sighed in annoyance. "And how long can we expect it to be down."

Ra'Vak got himself a drink from the replicator and sat down. "Forever." the Romulan shrugged with a sigh. "By the time I get the parts to rebuild the thing. This ship will be heading to the breaker yards anyway, I would have to completely disassemble the entire system and rebuild it from the ground up, and with all my engineers busy trying to keep everything else running, with us at combat ops, I can't spare the people to do it."

Lasky sighed softly. "Bollocks.." he muttered softly. "So... no more transporters then at all on this ship?" he paused. "The various support craft should be unaffected.. but we need them elsewhere... and now they are about to get full-time use.." he sighed. "Great. What else can go wrong?."

Teval put both his hands to his face," For the love of god Lasky, don't jinx us."

Lasky smiled. "Well, we have no transporters... a bar brawl with six people in sickbay and a couple of delinquents over on the Akurian ship...

"speaking of," Teval mentioned as he pulled up his computer and tapped into the comm system. "I need to check with them."

He then hailed the Ryazar's Shield with Hyril Akarin answering. "This is Ryazars shield.

Teval nodded. "Yeah This is Teval from Roanoke, I contacted you to ask about the status of Ryuukei and my two Federation crew members."

Hyril hesitated momentarily then answered. "Well, they are alive, and they are out of surgery, but..." Her voice trailed off."

"What," Teval inquired."

"You, better come see this for yourself."

Teval nodded," alright I'll be there shortly." He then closed the channel and looked at Lasky. "Well, want to give Rykar a little stick time so you can come with me to see this one."

"Yes... I'd like to hear and see this one myself." Lasky commented in a tone that could dry Pacifica. "After you."

Teval nodded and with Lasky following, he left the ready room heading for the shuttle bay, only briefly stopping to inform Rykar she was in command.

About 10 minutes later, Teval landed his shuttle in Ryazar shields hangar bay, and him and Lasky then made for the battlecruisers sick bay. Upon their arrival, Ryuukei approached the fox-like Kurokuri anzan. "So, how is Ryuukei, Lasarra, and Shorin.

Anzan pointed to one of the recovery rooms. "They are in there."

Teval nodded and headed for the recovery room, both Anzan and Lasky following. Akurian recovery rooms typically had six beds, and three were occupied, one by Ryuukei, one by Lasarra and one by Shorin. Teval smelled something unusual but his eyes quickly told him what was wrong, at least with Shorin and Lasarra. Lasarra was now flat chested, and Shorin was supporting two large humps on his chest.

Lasky paused. "What... the... fuck?" he paused as he regarded Lassara who was now clearly sporting some male anatomy and was missing her breasts. Shorin DeMasscho looked female now.

Lasarra sighed before she spoke. "What happen...-" she stopped as his eyes widened. "What have you... fucking... animals... done... to me!!" she or rather he screamed loudly.

DeMascho sat up. "What... Why do I have..." he or rather she stopped. "What happened!"

Ryuukei was still unconscious and Teval turned to Anzan. "I hope to hell you didn't do this."

Anzan shook his furry head while handing Teval the medical report. "No of course not. Whatever happened to them, they were altered on the DNA level. Akurian technology cannot do that. It seems somehow, your transporter did that. The only problem, it didn't do a complete job physically changing the organs. Fortunately, we were able to repair the damage, it wasn't too extensive but it was extensive enough, and it could have easily killed them."

Teval sighed. "Lovely, can it be reversed?."

Anzan looked at his notes. "With our technology, we cannot do anything about the DNA alteration. We can give them a conventional sex change procedure for Lasarra and Shorin, but that would take time, as we would need to clone the relevant organs to do so, plus, with both of them being unfamiliar species, that process will take longer than normal. But for Ryuukei, well, there is nothing we can do, he is now permanently stuck that way, any attempt to alter him surgically would just end up with his body trying to regenerate back to its current state. Kurokuri regeneration makes sex change operations impossible. It's also why Kurokuri cannot become partial or full cyborgs."

Lasky regarded Anzan. "So... this can't be reversed.." he responded slowly. "Lovely." he then let out a soft sigh. "Have they been told yet?"
he paused. "I also didn't think the transporter was capable of doing this kind of damage," he added.

Teval sighed," We will have to investigate it." He then walked over to Ryuukei and sure enough saw quite plainly, Ryuukei now had female body parts. Teval gently rubbed Ryuukei's ears and in response, the Kurokuri started to come too. Ryuukei looked up at Teval asking, "What happened."

"Transporter malfunction, and quite a big one," Teval answered. "Um, your body has been altered by it, you are, well, you're not a male anymore. Somehow, you are now a female."

Ryuukei looked up at the ceiling commenting. "Lovely."

Lasarra snarled something incomprehensible as she or rather he, drew back to throw a punch but Lasky got in the way and took the full brunt of Lasarra's blow, while she or rather he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Lasky saw it coming, he moved forward as he shoved Teval out of the way before he felt the fist crash into his chest, it was enough to crack ribs and break bone, it was a testament to his Shaolin monk martial arts training that allowed him to endure the pain of the blow. He dropped to one knee. "Lasarra... you ever... do that again... I will fucking murder you.." he rasped softly before he hauled himself back to his feet, despite the fact that he was in screaming pain.

Lasarra blinked. "What...the fuck..?"

Anzan went for a disruptor weapon but Teval was faster. He hit Lasarra with a full force stun blast using his energy manipulator powers, which left Lasarra lying out on the floor, drooling. Anzan then moved over to Lasky, setting his weapon on the ground. "Are you alright."

Lasarra was moaning softly. "Mmm... what the fuck..." she couldn't bend her elbow as she groaned. "I can't curl my arm.."

Lasky coughed wetly, splattering up some blood. "Thanks... I hope you are happy Lasarra... Because anywhere you go... blood, pain, and shit follows in your fucking wake... How the fuck did Plataea create you?... when Selendis and Ouros turned out to be such lovely people who are a joy to have around... Why did you turn into this... evil person?... Is hate and malice all you know?"

"You would not understand."

"Oh, your daddy beat you.." Lasky struggled to stay on his feet, now truly angry. "You fucking asshole... at least you had a family... at least you have people who give a fucking rats ass." as he reached over, smashing his fist into the scruff of her hair, then he yanked her or rather his head backward. "You better get your head unfucked woman or I am going to twist off your head and shit down your neck." Lasky's eyes were red by this point, his lips were throathing saliva and his breathing was ragged, he was so enraged. "Tell me now or I will personally end you're fucking worthless existence." he pulled on Lasarra's long hair as he hauled the mother man to his feet. "After what you've done... I should have you sent to prison... You violated my friend's husband... and then you violated her." and with that, he wrapped some of her hair around Lasarra's neck. "You know what... time to die!" as he proceeded to strangle Lasarra with her own hair.

Teval yanked Lasky off Lasarra. "Lasky, that's enough, she is already down and can't fight back anymore."

"Good." Lasky snarled before he coughed wetly, suddenly he started hacking up a lung, splatting blood on Lasarra as he did so. "Don't like it... do you?" there was something truly evil in Lasky's tone as he left Teval pull him away from Lasarra. "You need some serious help..." he added with a growl. "Lemme go.." he growled at Teval.

Teval looked at Anzan. "Gather up a medical team, We will take these three back to Roanoke." Teval then turned to Ryuukei, well you might as well come to, Federation medical technology can accelerate the healing of your injuries faster than Akurian technology, plus Federation doctors are better equipped to deal with transporter mishaps.

Anzan nodded and left the room, moments later coming back with multiple nurses and medical robots who took Lasky, Lasarra and Shorin back to the Roanoke's shuttle. Ryuukei was able to get up to his feet on his own and he slowly followed the group.

15 minutes later the group was back on Roanoke, with Lasarra, Lasky, and Shorin being brought to Roanoke's sick bay. Ryuukei was able to sit himself down on a fourth biobed.

Lasky was still angry, one could almost see the smoke coming out of his ears as he sat on a bed, clutching at his chest. "I'm fine."

"The hell you are Commander." Kadian Paris responded. "You've been coughing up blood for thirty minutes." the younger woman glared at him. "Let me handle you."

"Stop worry-"Lasky started but Paris cut him off. "Enough!" Kadian Paris snarled. "Stop wasting my fucking time and let me heal you before you fucking die on me Commander or else.." the twenty-four-year-old snarled.

"Alright.. you win.," Lasky whispered as he groaned, clearly in pain.

"Why must you make this difficult?" Paris responded softly as she went to work. "You are a right mess Commander... What the hell hit you?"

"He did.. one punch," Lasky explained while he indicated Lasarra.

"What!" the young woman barked.

Lasarra moaned softly as she groaned. Ensign Tuula Voutilainen smiled. "Well.. hello. let me tend to you," she commented as she began looking over Lasarra's injuries.

Teval and Ryuukei looked at the others with Ryuukei commenting. "Ugh, what's with the huge fuss."

Teval shook his head, "I don't know, it's pretty crazy."

Ryuukei looked down at himself commenting, Going to the bathroom is going to be really weird now."

Lasarra granted. "Speak for yourself... for me it'll be really easy now." he sighed softly. "I want my female body back," he demanded.

Teval gave her a look. "Well if you had paid attention, you would know that your condition is reversible. If anything Ryuukei should be fussing the most given that for him, reversing it is purely impossible."

Lasarra sighed softly. "Because of the Akurian ageless thing.." he sighed. "What the hell do I do now?" he asked.

"You develop some self-control." Lasky commented. "and some discipline." he narrowed his eyes. "I cannot help you with either... You are a lost cause." as he turned to regard Ensign Paris. "Ensign?"

"Yes.." Paris inquired. "No. You're not fit to be released." the young woman added.

"That's not what I was going to ask." he sighed softly.

Teval looked over as Fordring, Windspirit and Toshnarr entered the room. "Well, good thing you three are here, yeah, we have a bit of an issue."

Toshnarr rumbled softly. "Very well." and with that, he padded over as Galiaan Fordring ambled over. "Yes... you two look different."

Lasarra sighed. "You have no idea Doctor.."

"Oh but I do," Fordring responded. "Considering I do read the reports I get from others and... you used to be female."

"I want to be female again... but what about Ryuukei over there.. he's stuck as female forever."

"Is that so"? Fordring inquired.

Toshnarr regarded Lasarra as he nodded to Voutilainen. "I'll take over... tend to that one."

Tuula made her way over to where the female Bolian was dozing. "Hey."

Shorin blinked her eyes. "Mmmm... Let me sleep... I'm fine." she responded quietly.

Windspirt decided to take a look at Ryuukei, leaving Shorin, Lasky, and Lasarra to Toshnarr and Fordring. Windspirits first task was to scan Ryuukei, and the tricorder confirmed what previous Akurian scans had already determined. "Yeah, you have been altered, down to even the DNA level. Unfortunately, I am not sure exactly what she means by it's not reversible for you."

Teval decided to explain the situation. "Well us Kurokauri are a fully regenerative species. As you know as long as we are alive we can regrow things like lost limbs or organs. Unfortunately, in this case, it comes with an unexpected side effect. As long as Ryuukei retains female DNA, it isn't possible to surgically restore him to be male, otherwise, his body will try and regrow the female organs it thinks it should have. It's also one of the reasons Kurokuri cannot become cyborgs or receive artificial limbs."

Ryuukei nodded. "Unfortunately that is the case."

Windspirit nodded. "Alright, well then the question is, do we have your original male DNA on file."

Teval shook his head. "Not through the transporter systems. The transporters memory cores are a complete write-off."

"And I haven't used another transporter for a long time, " Ryuukei added. and as you know, unless you are a permanent crew member to a ship, transporter pattern records are automatically deleted after a few weeks."

Windspirit nodded and checked Ryuukei over again. "Well, there is still some residual damage from that transporter beam, but nothing we can't handle, and I can accelerate your healing process so you should be back to a hundred percent in a few days to a week."

Ryuukei nodded quietly without saying anything.

Lasky sighed. "So.. that's it then... in Ryuukei's case.." he paused. "This was one hell of an accident.." he paused as he frowned. "This can't have been an accident. no way this was random chance.."

Lasarra shrugged. "It doesn't matter... There is no way to prove it."

Teval looked at Lasky. "Lasky, stop worrying about it for now, with as badly injured as you are, you need to relax, let me worry about this mess."

Lasky raised an eyebrow. "By all means.." he rumbled as Paris sighed before she injected him with a sedative. "Now maybe I can get something done." the young woman explained as she caught Lasky's torso and she then lowered him back down onto the bed. "Thank you Commander Lasky... for shutting up," Paris added. "Is he always like this?"!

"No," Fordring answered quietly. "I've never known the Commander to be this angry... What happened to provoke this?"

Teval looked over at Lasara then looked back at Fordring," Lasarra and Lasky got into a fight, or rather Lasarra punched Lasky once and did that. Either way, it's probably best if you move either Lasarra or Lasky to a private room, so they aren't around each other."

Paris nodded. "I'll handle it." and with that, she picked up the Commander in a rather impressive display of physical strength.

"I didn't think you were that strong," Fordring admitted.

"I have my mother's telekinetic skills," Paris explained as she walked the Commander like he was wounded into a private room nearby.

Windspirit finished doing what she could for Ryuukei. "well, I have done all I can for you for now." She then rubbed Ryuukei's belly. "You do have the softest fur you know."

Ryuukei nodded and got off the biobed and wordlessly he left, with Teval following.

Lasarra closed his eyes, he knew he was going to remain as a male for the foreseeable future. "I hate this.." he whimpered softly.
