ON> YSS Nadare, Taiie The Taisho smiled softly as she looked to the screen, and for a long silence she said nothing, reaching up her fingers to touch the screen. "Kikoru, Faye has arrived, requesting reinstatement." KAMI broke the reverie, making the red-headed woman lean back onto the table. "Au-...full authorization, reinstate to previous rank and add her to my roster, personal aide. Send her to this exam room please. Notify command that she has returned."
"Acknowledged." A volumetric display began guiding Faye towards the medical center, and the armed soldiers that had been following her broke off to go end their shift. Updated orders flashed to the woman coming home, reflecting her change.
"She was on the UOC side of the line when everything happened." Shimizu explained, still mesmerized by the first sight of her children, not even looking at Mishima.
Smiling softly at Akina and the screen, Setsuko slowly moved the transmitter around on the belly to keep the children in focus and to make sure they looked all healthy. "They all seem in perfect order, Ma'am." The medical officer stated softly and simply as she continued to move the device around, making sure it was well lubricated all the time.
Faye received the order and quietly made her way to the exam room. She hadn't noticed the guards following her, but she probably did look suspicious. She was wearing civilian clothing which composed of black jeans and a tight-fit blue shirt.
It will be good seeing Akina again, she thought to herself as she made it to her destination.
When Faye arrived at the medical center, the sprite that had helped Mishima earlier pointed her towards the private room, smiling at the casually dressed warrant officer nicely. The KAMI had already assigned her quarters aboard the ship, nearby that of the missing Fleet Aide. "Good...I think they're tired of being in there too." Akina observed after an inherently awkward moment of trying to think of how to vocalize what she felt. The feeling of the lubricant was cold, causing some blurriness to manifest when it caused the officer to shiver. "I don't suppose you can give me a better due date?"
Eyeing the screen again at the Taisho's question, Setsuka frowned slightly and rubbed her chin for a moment, ignoring the lubricant she smeared over it. Judging by their development and size, it was fairly simple to guess a rough estimate for when they would enter this world.
"Well, I would say within the next few weeks. They are fairly well developed, and if you even entered labour now, I doubt they would suffer any premature birth symptoms. So, fairly soon, Taisho, but it is impossible to tell exactly when. They will come when they are good and ready." Setsuko explained while she removed the transmitter and turned off the monitor, and slowly cleaned the officer's belly with some slightly heated water. "Now, what do you say we take that fetal water sample?"
Faye thanked the sprite telepathically before knocking on the door to the private room. She stated her arrival through the closed door, "Nito Juni Faye Kikoru, reporting for duty, Mistress Akina-Taisho. May I enter?" The aide then waited to be acknowledged.
"Y-..oh wait, let's get some captures of the screen first, then go ahead." With that, Akina raised her voice, "Come in Faye-san." She was revisiting her hobby of putting her new aide into strange situations. The fact she'd been cleaned meant she hoped while she had forgotten about pictures in her excitement that Mishima had not.
Having allready anticipated the Taisho's desire for pictures, the medical officer had allready captured a few that the pregnant Nekovalkyrja would be able to view at her leisure once they were done as she simply pulled down more of her suit and expose the woman's vaginal passage. "Hmm... the opening's about right for a woman in your stage of pregnancy... well then, just a quick little sample then..." With that, Setsuko grabbed a probe and applied some heatlube to it, to make sure it moved easily and at the same time was not too cold for comfort or harm the children as she promptly sent it inside and up to the officer's womb to gather her samples.
Faye quietly entered the room just as Setsuko began to drain the fluids. A deep flush formed on her entire face as she spun around to look at the wall. "Oh! So, sorry, Taisho!" she said with total embarrassment. The back of her neck was as visably red as the rest of her face.
Glancing over her shoulder at the new arrival, Setsuko cocked her head, wondering why she was acting so silly while she took her samples, and at the same time checked the health of the three children at the same time with the probe. "Seems everything is in order, Taisho. I'll analyze the samples later, once I've shifted through them."
Laughing without a pause, Akina tried to call her aide over. One of the stills was still on the monitor, "Come say hi to the kittens, Faye-san." Her laughter broke through what she said, until the sight of what she had done was less instantly amusing. "Make sure to forward me the report, Mishima-Hei, but I'd like the pictures sent to my files now." She knew just who to send them to. If Tio didn’t talk to her she understood, but he deserved to know how his baby sisters were doing even if she was angry at the bitter cold reception she’d received. The way he reacted in the public stage made her wonder if a lot of son’s issues had something to do with Katsuko being too busy, or the scars he earned when Taiie fell.
"Hai, Taisho." Setsuko replied simply as she withdrew the probe and cleaned it in disinfectant before placing it in the "used tools" tray to be cleaned at a molecular level later as she smiled and indicated that the officer could now zip up her suit again as she telepathically connected to the monitor and transferred the files to the Taisho's files immediately. "I suppose you wish for Faye-san to get a standard medical check then too, Taisho? It is standard procedure when new crewmembers arrive on-ship. I will, of course, have mine done by one of the medical sprites once I am done here, just to keep the record clean."
Faye shuffled over to the left of Akina to look at the pictures. "They are so cute, Akina-sama..." she said, trying to ignore the doctor's actions. A small lump of envy and curiosity seemed to stick itself into the back of her mind.
I wonder what it would feel like... she thought to herself silently.
"There are some complications but they're supposed to be healthy." Akina smiled on after zipping up her suit and adjusting her uniform. "I'm hoping it won't be long now, ah-that reminds me. This is Mishima-hei, she'll be my scientific and medical atache." Slipping slowly from the table, she motioned to the scientist. "Please check her now, then we'll move on to dinner together. There's too much to talk about cramped in a room like this, and the four of
us are hungry." Again the admiral sat down on one of the normal chairs, smiling to Faye. "I'm glad you're back."
"Of course, Taisho. Just remember, no anti-obesity drugs or cutting down on food. There was this one girl on our medical course who got pregnant, and she believed herself to be getting fat from food. She eventually overdosed on Anti-Obesity Drugs and killed herself and her child. How she managed to get into the medical course beats me." Setsuko explained simply in a manner-of-fact and chatty voice as she motioned for Faye to get comfortable in the examination chair as she drew several syringes, a few scanners, and some other choice medical supplies as she eyed the newly arrived woman.
"Now, do you have your medical record handy? Any allergies, diseases, or anything else of note? Is this still your first body?" The medical officer asked as she changed her gloves to a clean pair before she would start the examination of Faye.
“Nice to meet you, Mishima-hei," she stated while sitting down in the examination chair. "I have no allergies, diseases, etc, and my medical records should be available in KAMI's networks, I'd assume. This is my second body. I was a Neko until a few weeks ago." Turning to Akina with a little nervousness at the sight of the syringes, the aide said quietly, "Dinner sounds nice…"
"Oh! That's right. We need to transfer her. Get her old data from the network, it's been released. She needs her old body back- or would you prefer a 29, Faye-san?" Akina remembered that in their letters she mourned the loss of her Nekovalkryja identity, and the Taisho was happy to help ease the woman's pain of being separated from it for even that long, and a tough homecoming. "The menu is fairly nice, actually. If I can get the Fleet Aide there we'll have a full table."
After a moment of thought, Faye replied to the Taisho, "I'd rather have my old body back... but if you can't find it, I suppose a 29 body would be alright. I'd like it to be formatted to this body's measurements, if possible." She nodded. The hope of getting her old body back was nice... it had many memories still in it for her to cherish.
Nodding simply at the words of Faye and the Taisho, Setsuko took her blood samples, checked the woman's retinals, and took a few tissue, hair, saliva, and other minor samples to double check her DNA as well as to look for any hidden diseases or chemicals or nanobots or biological weapons that might be lying dormant or active in her body. For all they knew, she might even have Mishhuvatar eggs in her and be none the wiser until the tests revealed otherwise. "Crafting an NH-29 should be no problem, Faye-san. As for your old body, you would have to ask Shimizu-Taisho." Setsuka explained as she grasped a few other tools to quickly take the woman's height, weight, and measurements in case she needed to craft an NH-29 for her new patient. That out of the way, Mishima grasped the Soul Transfer device and prepared it, not activating it as of yet, she needed Akina's reply on the woman's body before that.
"Begin forming a new 27 when you're ready, Mishima-hei. I'm not going to spit at more protection. I'll authorize it." Akina stood, and exited to the area that featured a large row of empty hemosynth tubes, where all of the bodies were formed. She wondered how Katsuko had felt when she made her an aide, or did any of the wonderful things for the red-haired Taisho before she had died, and how she looked when she had come back.
"Hai, Taisho." Mishima replied simply as she issued a telepathic command to the Hemosynth tanks to start growing a new NH-27 Nekovalkyrja body after the measurements taken from Faye as she cleaned up inside the examination room and placed her tools for molecular cleaning.
Faye nodded thankfully as she endured the poking and prodding of the doctor. After a moment of silence from the aide, she asked, "Akina-sama... what's it like to be with child?" She hoped the slightly odd question wasn't too much of a bother to deal with.
