Nenaa let out a sigh as she pulled the last of her draws open. She'd heard of the time anomalies that had been warping the ship into a seemingly other time. One of said casualties had been her quarters which had warped to those of the days of kirk.
Including her spare uniform and suppressor suits. They could be replaced, but with the long queue for the working replicators, it would be a while. Guess she was going to be stuck in this one for a while.
Sitting down on her bed she let out a sigh as she heard a buzz from her door. Was that the alarm they used back then. Standing up she walked over and opened the door.
Captain Patani was standing at the door, her duty uniform modern and immaculate, her long hair behind her in two traditional braids. Standing beside her was a young, fair-skinned human woman with startling blue eyes. Besides being several centimeters shorter than the Marine Captain, the other woman was wearing a blue Kirk-era uniform, with her dark hair stacked in a stylish bun.
Unlike Natacha, who has been frustrated and irritated by her brief stint in a Kira-era mini-skirt, the shorted woman appeared both shy and embarrassed at her attire.
"Gunnery Sergeant Nenaa, this is Petty Officer First Class Golightly," Natacha began. "She brought you some goodies from sickbay." Golightly lifted up a pouch. "May we come in?"
"Of course. Nice to meet you Golightly. Sorry about how things are in here." The orion said with a warm smile on her face as she looked back at her out of time quarter.. " I see were not the only affected by the time disruption," she said looking over the woman outfit.
"The working replicators are going full blast," Natacha interjected. "Though I understand the fact that one of my regular uniforms survived the disruption allows me to be more nonchalant about the process. However, Gunny, your biochemistry presented a more unique challenge to the detachment. First, getting your portable suppressant systems has been given top priority. Second, I have induced our medical department to provide us an interim solution."
"She threatened violence," Petty Officer Golightly said blandly.
"I offered uniquely phrased motivations," Captain Pantini countered.
Golightly produced a bottle of pills and a tube of ointment. "Fortunately, countermeasures to Orion pheromones have existed since the early days of Starfleet. So even with replicators that are using century old technology, Sickbay was able to mass produce enough pills for the entire marine detachment to consume, to insure they're immune to the effects of your pheromones, at least until you get your suppressment systems back."
"Colonel handed me an integrated, effective fighting unit, and is expecting me to hand the same thing back to her," Natacha announced. "I'm just making sure that's what she gets back."
"All the Marines took their pills except the Captain," Golightly noted.
"It has been established that I have no negative reaction to the pheromones secreted by Orion Marines," Natacha insisted.
"That makes no medical sense, Captain," Golightly insisted.
"It's a Marine thing, Petty Officer," Natacha responded. "I wouldn't expect you to understand."
A warm smile spread over the orions face. " Thank you, captain. I owe you one. Just which my spare uniforms made it. " She said looking at her draws with nothing but the kirk era miniskirt.
"Me too," Golightly added, tugging at the hem of her own uniform. "Oh, there is one other thing. Sickbay came up with a topical cream, to dilute the effects of your pheromones." The Petty Officer handed the tube she had brought in to Nenaa.
" This the cream?" The orion enqnruied.
"Orion deodorant," Natacha offered dryly.
"Not exactly," the nurse answered, refraining from rolling her eyes at the Marin officer. "Orion women have something akin to sebaceous glands in humans that secrete their unique pheromones. So application of the cream is required over the entire body. Which is why I was sent to assist you," Golightly continued. "It seems Anjurwan females have an atypical reaction to Orion pheromones. You smell like vanilla beans to me, Gunnery Sergeant, and the reaction I get to your pheromones is the same as when I look at a picture of really cute kittens."
" Ah, I see. " The orion marine replied calmly. "You're here to get the places I can't reach. " Well, shall we get this over with? " She asked the Anjurwan.
"I will leave you two to it, then," Natacha said, straightening her uniform. "Gunny, I will let you know when your suppressant systems are available. Petty Officer, convey my thanks again to the Medical department." With a curt nod, Natacha exited the Gunnery Sergeant's quarters.
" See you later boss." the orion called after her. Turning to look at Golightly she gave her a smile. " So shall we get started?" She asked.
