A Run In with the Devil

[Akirapryde]

There was laugher filled the area at Lieutenant Pander's comment. The level of the sound told Ensign Skytower that the number of people here was more than what she saw. Without warning Lieutenant Pander moved up behind Ensign Skytower to block any hope of retreat. Laughing at her own comment Pander coiled her towel around Skytower's waist playfully as she added, "oh I caught the little mouse."

Before Ensign Skytower realized it a long tail snaked its way over Skytower's shoulder almost as if tapping her shoulder to get her attention. At the same time, it's owner, Lt Etxeharria, got Skytower's attention from the opposite side as she ran her hand in Skytower's hair. Purring as she spoke from the other side, "I love little lost mice."

It was clear that the two had playful thoughts in their minds. But what ever those thoughts were, they were cut short by a ruthless towel snap on Lt Etxeharria's rear. The unexpected attack that caused the Caitian to leap up from the surprise came from Ensign Noguerra. She called out almost laughing to the pair of mischief makers, "leave her be, you two". Ensign Noguerra readied her towel for the next attack while the pair of lieutenants prepared to defend themselves. All three were naked except for their towels. None of them made any attempt to hide their bodies. In eyes sight were two other males finishing up their own showers. Both of them were paying attention and taking beats over who would win in the towel battle that was about to take place.

Someone just out of sight made the comment, "Hey the CAG got the Rec Officer to pay us a visit. How about a song and dance!?" The joke broke up the playful fight as everyone started to laugh. Ensign Skytower could easily see the large half color and half black tattoo on Lieutenant Pander's back. Also each of them had matching tattoos on their right shoulder. Ensign Skytower noted that only those assigned to the Jolly Rogers had the matching tattoo.

The three females continued as they started to make their way for the exit. However it was Ensign Noguerra who caused the group to pause once more, "Hey you are..." she said as she got closer to Ensign Skytower. Within a moment she added, "Lylliana Skytower. From Edinburgh, right?" It was clear that the two had met before. "Remember me? I am Etain" she added, "we were on the same shuttle for San Francisco to Utopia. I seat next to you the whole trip. I didn't know you were coming here."
