*** Starbase Kinsi *** Rangi moved towards the door, hesitated and stopped. "I can't go like this" she said, turning to Cameron, looking down at her uniform and indicating with open hands that it was impossible."I'm too obviously Starfleet." she explained. "I need to look more...more.......well.....like you." she added, regarding the figure in front of her thoughtfully. "Do you have any of those?" she pointed to his overalls. Momentarily surprised by her request, he asked her to wait and hurried away. Rangi unzipped her tunic top, took it off, remembered the security card and retrieved it from her pocket. She laid it on the edge of the table as Cameron returned. In his hands he held a pair of overalls that might once have been blue or grey,possibly dark green though now it was impossible to say with any certainty. Rangi accepted them with a " Thankyou" and began to pull them on. The legs were rather overlong and the body definately 'roomy' but the effect was what she wanted. Adjusting them as best she could, she gave Cameron a pleased smile, fastening the top up to two buttons from the neck, revealing only a small part of her uniform T shirt which no longer told of her Starfleet origin. "There!" she said reaching for the pass card and placing it into her left top pocket."That's better dont you think?" Cameron smiled and agreed it was. Rangi raised her right hand. "One more thing.." she said and turned to the table full of seed trays and plants. She selected one of the red flowers, partly in bloom, and placed it in her hair. It promptly fell out. She bent to retrieve it from the dusty floor, stood up and with nimble fingers tucked it into her hair again, slightly behind her ear. Facing Cameron she said: "There....casual camoflage" and grinned. ** 2minutes later "" Rangi heard the hatch close behind her with a clunk as the security bolts shot into place. She set off along the docking ring passageway to the main arrival bay of level 12 and on entering the brightly lit area, glanced around, partly to get her bearings but mostly to see if any security officers were about. The area was busy, for three ships were loading or unloading cargo with passengers and crew either waiting to board or disembarking.Everyone was intent on some business or other and few took notice of the young woman in slightly baggy overalls who walked confidently across the polished floor and headed for the nearest turbo lift. She walked as though intent on a purpose, as indeed she was, but slowly enough not to appear rushed which, she thought, would risk drawing attention to herself. "Hey! you there......" Rangi slowed her pace, looking to her right. "Me?" she asked, pointing to herself and coming to a standstill. "Yes you...come 'ere!" Rangi paused for a second only, not wanting to arouse the suspicion of a uniformed figure now beckoning her to approach "Yes?" she asked slowly walking nearer to the woman who was showing a definate interest in Rangis appearance. They faced each other. "Bothered by cellulite?...wish you were trimmer?" the woman asked somewhat offhandedly. "Excuse me?" Rangi responded not sure she had heard correctly. Momentarily looking at the flower in Rangis hair,the woman adopted a resigned expression, gazed into the middle distance and intoned : "Dull complexion,lifeless hair,expanding waistline, thighs that you're ashamed of..." Rangis hand came to her waist as she quickly glanced down at herself. "..afraid to show your nails...always wished for a voluptuous figure?" The woman met Rangis eye. Rangi frowned. "Everything tucked or lifted and all done in a day." "Now wait just a minute!" Rangi interrupted, but the woman continued without pause: "We take up where nature left off. Your failings are our challenge." She shifted her weight from one foot to the other and in a singsong voice informed her astonished listener: "Facial scrubs, body scrubs, muscles honed, skin toned,waxing, steaming, peeling, lasering,creams,balms,oils,lotions,dont delay try it today!" Rangi stood open mouthed as the woman took a deep breath and went on: "Become what you've always wanted to be,rejuvination is the key. Why wait, beauty can be yours,a fantastic new look, a terrific new shape, a complete new you,look in the mirror and LOVE what you see!!" There was three second silence. "And..." the woman said as Rangi made to speak."...for that special person in your life, they needn't miss out on the chance to join you in this life changing experience." The singsong voice was back. "Todaaaay and only todaaaaay you and that someone special can enjoy a two for one offer." There was another three second silence. Rangi wondered if that was the end. The woman stepped forward, grabbed Rangis hand,slapped a card into it, said a curt "Thankyou!" and walked away. Rangi looked down at the card. In intricate pattern the name 'Utopia' met her surprised gaze and in the lower right hand corner, in small black print: 'Section 6... Deck 15' {What was that!} Rangi asked herself. "Hey you!...yes you!!!" Rangi turned to see the woman capture her next victim. "Bothered by cellulite?..wish you were trimmer?" she heard the bored voice begin to drone and couldnt help but smile to herself. But the smile faded as quickly as it came for the urgency of her mission was uppermost in her mind and glancing around,she headed quickly towards the turbolift. *** End Log *** LtCmdr Rangi Summers CMO/2XO USS Chimera & 'Utopia Beauty Rep' (npc)
