Celeste Yamaguchi-Hobbs sighed softly as she shrugged out of her uniform jacket that seemed to be confining her oversized and bloated belly where her son was presently developing within her, soon he would be born and soon she could have her body back but Celeste knew that her misery today had nothing to do with her impending birth of her baby boy and everything to do with the passing of Captain Torilla Yamaguchi, the woman who officiated at her wedding when Celeste had gotten married to Brianna Hobbs.

Yamaguchi-Hobbs sighed softly as she regarded herself in the mirror, she was a truly frightening sight to any child but she was a pitiable sight to any adult within range. With tears streaming down her face, she was in an extremely angry mood.

The tall female went into the bedroom as she shucked her uniform and her underclothes until she wore nothing before she went into the bathroom, she turned on the shower before she stepped into the stall, closing the door behind her.

Yamaguchi-Hobbs washed herself over, before cleaning herself off with soap and hot water, she took solace in the fact that she could enjoy a hot shower like this as she held her silence and resolved to enjoy the water, for as long as she had it.

Once she was finished. Yamaguchi-Hobbs turned off the water before she stepped out of the shower, she then brushed off the extra water on her frame so it would be recycled into the system rather than be left in puddles to evaporate on her bathroom floor.

The heavily pregnant woman wrapped a towel around herself, more to ward off the cold than anything else before she moved back into the bedroom, she began to towel herself off before she began to don her clothing that she had selected for this evening. A pair of track pants, a light T-shirt and a sweatshirt completed her picture. She donned her selected clothing before she pulled on a pair of sneakers.

Yamaguchi-Hobbs smiled before she turned and out of her quarters she went before she turned left and started moving down the hall, she had no idea of where she was heading, only that she needed to go for a walk and get the funk out of her system.

The tall but heavily pregnant female entered the lounge of the Dreamcrusher several minutes later, she sighed before she went over to the bar. She frowned as she didn't think anyone would be tending the bar so she went over to the replicator, she ordered herself two egg salad sandwiches and a glass of water before heading for an empty table.

Yamaguchi-Hobbs proceeded to demolish her two sandwiches quickly before she drained her glass of water, then she recycled her dishes, then she departed the lounge. "Computer, are there any holodecks available?"

"Negative, There are no holodecks are presently available and not in use." the computer responded.

"Aww shit." Yamaguchi-Hobbs sighed as another idea came to her. "I'll go down to my forge." and with that, the tall female set off to her destination.

Yamaguchi-Hobbs arrived at her destination a few minutes later before she activated the display. "Let's see." she entered her access code and the door slid open. Yamaguchi-Hobbs smiled as she looked around, everything was she left just as she left it. "Jarvis?. You online.?"

"Jarvis. Present sir." responded the artificial intelligence computer that Yamaguchi-Hobbs had obtained from her sister-in-law who was a master computer programmer. "Any orders for me?" Yamaguchi-Hobbs inquired.

"One sir," Jarvis explained, in the accent of an English butler.

"Display on screen." she responded, a smile on her lips.

"One sword, designated as 'Longclaw. The specifics are on your screen now." as Yamaguchi-Hobbs ordered herself something to drink from the replicator. "Mmm." as she drained a mouthful of her drink. There was an image of the blade requested in addition to the dimensions.
"Dimensions: Blade Length: 35 inches, Total length: 45 inches
Made In: Imported
Made Of: Stainless Steel Blade, Leather hilt, Wood plaque
Weight: 4 pounds

Longclaw is a bastard sword or hand and a half sword, which means it is a good half a foot longer than a standard long sword, tapered to thrust as well as slash. With three fullers incised into the blade to reduce weight. There are ripples in the dark steel indicating it is of Damascus steel. It has a bear's head for the pommel. The specifications were for a blade that was 45 inches long in all so she wanted something very large.

Yamaguchi-Hobbs finished her drink before she stood up. "Alright. Jarvis. it's time to go to work." and with that, the pregnant woman knew that she needed to get on with it. "Let's see, what materials do I have?" she commented as she went through her stockpiles of metal. "I have some ten-twenty spring steel." she paused. "Let's see what I have in the Spanish steel bin.. Yes.. this will do." and with that, she donned a pair of gloves. "Jarvis, begin monitoring program."

"Program online and running sir. I trust you will behave yourself?"

"Of course Jarvis. You know how this works. I disrespect anything. It'll kill me." Yamaguchi-Hobbs said as she turned on the furnace. "Let's get this party started." and with that Celeste went to don her armor so it would protect her while she was at work here in the furnace.

The pregnant woman came back out as she lifted the hunk of metal, she knew that if she was not careful, then she stood a chance of acquiring some very bad burns.

"Sir, the furnace is ready for your use," Jarvis explained.

"Excellent work Jarvis." and with that Yamaguchi-Hobbs pushed the metal into the furnace, she watched as the metal was heated up to the point where it began to glow red and then it turned yellow, she slowly pulled it out and brought it over to the hammer, she activated the hammer as it began bashing away at the semi-molten metal.

There was a sudden snapping sound as half the metal fell away from the hammer machine. Yamaguchi-Hobbs reached down with her tongs before she picked it up, she was now beyond rational thought at this moment. 'I can't stop screaming your name' she thought as she smashed the metal shard down onto the large anvil before she snatched up a large hammer. "Fuck you all, you Klingon fucks!" Yamaguchi-Hobbs then began smashing her hammer into the metal, making a ton of noise while she screamed at it, at the top of her lungs. "You wanna piece a' me!"

The long banging of metal against metal could be heard all over the forge, while Celeste snarled before she began swearing at it, like she was shouting at someone at the top of her lungs, bleeding off her energy as she finished ruining the chunk of metal that she had spent over an hour heating up and waiting to cook for her to turn it into the beginnings of a blade.

Celeste set down the hammer as she took it over to the replicator. She then recycled the useless hunk of scrap metal. "Salvage complete. Errm enjoy your scrap." Jarvis commented in a snide tone.

"Go away Jarvis." the now exhausted woman responded. "Warm up the forge again," she added as she went over to the bin before lifting another hunk of metal before she began cutting this one to the length and specifications required by the blade.

Yamaguchi-Hobbs decided to cut herself a second hunk of metal, just in case this one also failed. "My work is never done." as she carried the first hunk of metal before pushing it into the forge in her second attempt to make this blade.
