Orientation Pt. 2

The crew exited the elevator from to the lower floor. ELEECE took the lead as usual and took the group to a room on the right. The door lead to another enormous room, filled with exercise equipment, the walls were lined with weapons of various types.

"Welcome to the Armory. Here you can exercise and get practice will the standard equipment of the galaxy." The host had one of her doppelgängers take a boxy pistol that would not look out of place in a 50's science fiction television series from one of the walls and gave it to Katie. ELEECE looks over at the gun and glances at Pandi, clearly signaling mischief to Katie. The captain moved one of her bodies to the front of the group and opened fire. A light pink slug blasted out of the pistol and landed squarely in the chest of the body standing ahead of the group. Pleasure surged into her in two places, the body that was shot, buckled and softly moaned, the shooter instead felt a soft pang, closer to someone tickling her in her core.

A slight flash of annoyance appeared in the eyes of the nudist host. "What I was trying to demonstrate was that any orgasms due to weapons in this room won't count against any of you."

"I'm sorry but I was not going shoot any of my friends with something I don't know anything about!"

ELEECE shrugged as she continued on her tour. Pandi's eyes lit up as she looked over the equipment. In contrast to the trainer the host's smile disappeared for the first time today. The smile only returned once the group found themselves back at the entrance of the Armory. "I hope you all enjoyed the b-, Mundane part of the tour. Next we have something more exciting."

Moving out of the armory the crew then moved to a room further up the hall. ELEECE waved them into another room of enormous capacity, this one filled with not obvious theming. In the center of the room was a greenhouse. "Mickey, this workshop is where you can work your mad science. I took the liberty of giving you a greenhouse as some starting equipment but you will need to pay for any further upgrades." As the host circled the room she pointed out the breast pumps that lined the walls without fanfare.

The northern side of the room had something similar to a cafe built into the room. The counter was staffed. It was someone who was identical to LD but instead of her arms were replaced with countless wires that began from her forearms. The woman gave a bow as she faced the crew.

"I am Labrys Seraph, the ship's internal Synthetic Intelligence. Address me as you like but LS or Seraph would probably be best to differentiate myself from the ship's other Synthetic Intelligence. I take care of all the internal functions of the ship. One such function is this shop. Here you can purchase transformations, upgrades to the ship itself and other items for your use with BP."

"Are you open now?" Carla asked raising a hand as she walked up to the counter.

"Yes, Ms. Medici." LS reached behind the counter and produced a tablet for Carla. "Would anyone else like to make a purchase?"

Looking through the catalog there were plenty of transformations that were generically useful but she would come back to those later. "Why are there two prices listed these."

"The cheaper price is for applying the transformation species-wide Ms. Medici. Mangament wants to encourage big changes to the human condition." LS deliberately glared at ELEECE but if anyone noticed they were being shy.

"Neat. Anyway give me Katie's extra bodies."

"Excellent choice. However because the Captain's Transformation represents cutting edge technology you will have have to settle for two extra bodies. Is that fine?"

"Yes. It's two more than I ever expected to have."

-50 BP from Carla Medici

A familiar pink flash filled the room in an instant. In it's wake two more Carlas stood behind the original. Immediately the new bodies began to make out, the markings on their checks glowed for a moment and then returned to their previous state. "Damn I hoped to get a bigger kicked out of that."

"Will you be purchasing anything else Ms. Medici?" LS asked undaunted by the scene unfolding in front of her.

"Nope, that's enough for now."

ELEECE walked over to the kiosk and took a seat at one of the tables in the room. "Well with that the general tour is over. The shop will also be your cafeteria. Captain Ajax you need to come with me to your quarters but the rest of you are free to spend your free time as you wish. This week's dates are in the same order you were introduced so Miriam you are up first tomorrow. There isn't a curfew since you are all onboard but the ship's maintenance starts at 10pm ship time. Nothing will hurt you but you might see interesting things if you go looking."

"Can I see the captain's quarters too?" Miri asked.

"You will tomorrow. The captain is going to be by herselfs for a bit."

With nothing holding them back the rest of the crew dispersed. Mickey went to examine the greenhouse. Pandi went to the armory with Noel following in tow. Carla, Miri and Odie just sat down at the cafe.
