Very well for the first half

You leave the hotel and walking alongside Viper you head out into the main street, which was also the only street, bar some back alleys for service access and maintenance tunnels. The station as a whole was a fairly standardized layout, most likely due to the need for a speedy setup, the cargo bay formed the core with less advanced ports only offering services to resupply and a maintenance yard adjacent for any large scale repairs needed. The more advanced ports like the one you were currently on have centralized lift shaft put in and then the residential and other areas are built either atop or beneath the docking and repair yards, meaning they could be afforded large observation windows which should be relatively less obstructed by the comings and going of the ships. The power requirements were usually met with a huge reactor either fusion or bioplasma depending on what was available and would usually be housed at the center of the station. The additional above or below are more or less bolted and welded onto the existing port and lift shaft, and the space divided up.

Typically the spaces were designated a zone to meet a specific need; such as residential, where your hotels, hostels, inns and even taverns. Entertainment, where you'll find your bars, brothels, night clubs, parks, Holovid centers depending on what was legal and popular in the system. Retail where you'll find you gear needs for both crew and ship, with even some stations offering to sell and exchange ships or offering modifications, some stations also lumped the medical facilities into the retail district, where various services and gene mods would be sold. An Economy and Admin zone were the only other hub you might see, these would house any offices for the running of the station, as well as local offices for megacorp projects in system which were too small or too hazardous to warrant an on planet office, it would also be where the station security office would be built if the station had the zone, and if not then it would often be relegated to a space in amongst the repair yard and cargo bays.

You have known that the further you get from the core systems that these standard layouts tend to get more and more flexible, with some frontier ports being much more slapdash approach leaving it a bit more chaotic to navigate. Thankfully this port which you learn is called Maidens respite from the large white print stenciled onto large info boards floating above the streets at regular intervals complete which flickered between a large holomap, the weather on close resort worlds, the galactic trade commodity prices for various rare minerals, and finally short adverts for services found on the station, including one for some very relaxing massages from scantily clad men and women and even a dark skinned beauty who seemed to be well endowed in both the female and male sense as she leant forward and blew a kiss while the words exotic blinked beneath her.

The local time as best you could guess was mid-morning, as the sunlamps in the ceiling high above did their best to create the right impression of warmth and brightness as you walk out of the residential district and into the retail district as Viper looks around. There seemed to be a steady flow of people, but thankfully due to the wide streets it didn't give the impression of overcrowding, but again with so many people coming and going at all times of the stations night and day cycle, this wasn't a huge surprise.

"Well looks like the section for garments is just over the way." Viper says as she studies a holo terminal, having navigated for a few menu's to find the location of the stores you'd want or need. She gestures towards a row of shops across the street which opened up into a square. You nod and follow her towards the square side stepping a few people on your way in. You spy a store front that was offering good looking and functional wear and head inside with Viper. Inside you see shelves and shelves of various outfits with a display stand allowing you to select a color and even a custom print if you so wanted.

You see a stand dedicated to smart fiber attire and true to what Viper told you earlier found it much cheaper than you'd ever seen it, and pick up a few unassigned bundles which you could start to shape when you had the time. Next, you pick out some lightweight and durable footwear, a sleek pair of pumps which had the soles customized for massively enhanced gripping ability by simply clenching the muscles in your feet, the pair above claimed to have magnetic plates in them, but you were dubious how effective they could possibly be, and decided that you'd resort to specialist gear if the need ever arises rather than trusting your life to some minor store gimmick. You then find a selection of nice form hugging lightweight cloaks designed for planets with a spontaneous weather system. You get a cloak in a sandy desert color which is able to change into a shade of black called dungeon master/mistress black and find yourself happy with the choice, as it should help you blend into the darkness well, and it's lightweight design for fitting over your normal clothes meaning you could walk about in it with during the day while in it's default color and not look quite as suspect, while also concealing your gear beneath it. The last purchase you find for your work is a rather strange item, it's not kept on a shelf but rather takes a center stage on a large display, as you step towards it looking up at it in wonder.

"Ah, I see you've spotted our special quantum catsuit." A nearby clerk says as she steps out from behind the display, although you'd seen her hair from the corner of your eye, so she didn't get the jump on you quite like she had hoped. You turn to the clerk smartly dressed in a shirt which complimented her form very pleasantly, and you catch the name tag that read Staci.

"Yeah, it kinda stands out from your normal stock." You reply gesturing at the rest of the displays with their neat uniform spacing. "So what's the deal with it other than looking good." You ask as you spy the price tag and notice that it's more than what Jacque gave you.

"Well it's a prototype that was sent into us, which is why its so much more expensive, but I'll tell you everything it can do." Staci replies walking next to you and putting and arm over your shoulder as you can smell her perfume drift over to you, a pleasant flowery scent which you couldn't quite place. "Well aside from looking amazing, the complex material will fit you perfectly as it shifts around your body like a second skin meaning it'll accentuate that nice body of yours." Staci continues as her hand wanders down your and runs over your ass giving it a firm but gentle squeeze, as Staci turns her brown eye's to yours and smiles. "Now the material has a slightly physic property to it, and at will, it can be as concealing or revealing as it wearer wants." Staci continues as she uses the hand not currently caressing your ass to gently tug at her shirt causing a button to fall open and revealing more of her cleavage.

"So if I wanted some access to relieve myself." You reply with a heavy injection of sultry tones as you try and work out if Staci's interest in you is genuine or just a sales technique.

"Yeah just think about the parts you want to reveal, and then you can get all the relief that you want." Staci replies her hand on your soft round ass another firm squeeze.

"Like this?" You ask in a sultry manner as you tug on the zip on you jumpsuit revealing a little more of your body until your perky B cup boobs are only barely contained within the jumpsuit and you notice Staci's eyes widen and you hear her breath catch.

"Sort of but with only a thought." Staci replies after taking a moment to composed herself, adjusting her shoulder length blonde hair. You smile and nod appreciatively turning your eyes back onto the catsuit. "It also does the opposite, so lets say the partner of a lover comes back sooner than expected well in a mere though you could conceal all that was revealed." Staci continues her hand still attached to your rear.

"Mmmmm very handy." You reply with a tone you keep level, as in your head you reckon you might be able to turn the tables on Staci and get yourself a discount.

"That's not all it also comes with various quantum pockets to keep all personal belongings safe. I'm afraid the science is beyond me but the pockets and their contents can also come and go with a thought, so you don't have to worry about any horrible bulges for anything you have to carry, like some protection." Staci continues squeezing your ass for emphasis. You smile as you begin to think of how useful having pockets that could appear and disappear at will not to mention clothing, although you keep the smile a brief and subtler one as to not betray how much you want whats being sold.

"What sort of protection, do you think a girl like me needs." You ask in a sweet and sultry tone, playing up to imagine you dressed for.

"Mmmmm well you can't always trust a partner to carry any." Staci says with a knowing grin and squeezes your ass again.

"Hmmmm and what if I like to live dangerously, live for the thrill of the moment." You reply with a smile turning back to Staci.

"Mmmmmm naughty girl." Staci says with a big smile on her face, and you look at her and then back at the hand still caressing your ass. You notice something on her wrist as a glimmer catches the light, a familiar looking piece of jewellery, but then you hear a voice that brings you back to your senses.

"Looks like your making friends fast." Viper says as she strolls over carrying a few things in a basket.

"Yeah, I think I was close to making a deal for this cat suit, what do you think of it?" You ask turning to Viper, as she slowly walks forward and looks it up and down and then to you.

"I reckon it'd be a good fit, and well you'll look almost as good in it, as you do without anything." Viper says with a smile as she walks over nods at Staci and then lanter her hand on your free asscheek giving it a squeeze, as Staci looks to you worried for a moment and then turns to Viper.

"I was just telling Staci that I might not need to pockets to carry protection." You say as you look over to Viper her amber eyes meeting yours.

"Mmmmm naughty girl." Viper says in almost the same tone as Staci had, although you knew why Viper had said that.

"I thought the same thing." Staci says in a cheery tone and you feel both sets of hands on your ass caressing and massaging in tandem, which you smile at, as not only did it feel nice, it also helped you out with your plan to get a hefty discount.

"So what deal did you plan on making, the suits got a price tag on it." Viper says with a knowing grin as she looks at you and then back up to the cat suit.

"Well I was hoping I might be able to convince Staci to see if we could get something off." You reply putting emphasis on the last three words.

"I might be persuaded." Staci replies with another squeeze of your soft ass cheek.

"Or I could buy it for you, even with a good discount it's still a large amount."
