USS Thespiae Sol System "Just what a year could bring," Craig's thoughts were echoed in Ceelak's mind as she watched the crew together again. It wasn't the same, of course, but it was close enough, as the old earth saying went, for government work. The hand in hers was Craig's and that definitely felt right. As she stood there, content, she looked at the others. Humans were an unusal species, to be sure. This inability to change sexes had been very vexing for Ceelak at first. She'd felt they were - well- boring. They were always the same. However, as time went past, she came to realize that humans were never boring, one in particular. What she hadn't told Nick was there just happened to be a perfectly good reason for her to remain in female form - that was because the person holding her hand was a man. Why change when something seemed so perfect? Her thoughts abruptly came back to the present when she realized the atmosphere had changed. You could never turn your back on humans - never. Craig pulled her closer and she leaned in against him, surprised to see tears on Nick's face. "Well that did it," she thought to herself as tears slid down her cheeks, too. Tears of happiness. That was one of the disadvantages of the female form - this tendency to be emotional. She resisted the urge to wipe her nose on his sleeve. Instead she looked up at him and winked. Ceelak OOC if someone could tell me what department I'm in, I'd be so pleased. She's changed, not only sex so much, but departments as well, that I'm not sure which is the latest. _____________________________________________________________ USS Vanguard: http://www.ncv80221.net/default.htm Vanguard Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/ncv80221 FreeLists: //www.freelists.org Trying to contact the USS Vanguard managers?
