Rewrote this part.
Quote:Kirby Memorial Spaceport, Kandor City
Feb 9, 2013
I watched my ride lift into the lunar sky. Then hefted the battered duffle bag over one shoulder. It contained everything I owned that I could carry. Mostly cloths, wave samples and two very carefully wrapped harddrives. Everything else had been left behind after fleeing 'daneside do to my accidental biomod. Seven feet of fox morph isn't easy to hide and that isn't counting the two tails. Upside is that I remained male despite everything going on.
Sighing I followed the rest of the passengers into the Kirby Memorial Spaceport terminal building. Pausing to take in the hustle and bustle of the roomy, but utilitarian main hall. Info desks where all clustered in the center. Seller and recruitment booths lined the walls. Two angled secondary departure halls led off ether end.
The mental gawking was cut short by having to dodge out of the way of a Storm Trooper squad heading for the Fen departures hall. Nearly bumping into a young couple doing so, "Whoops sorry." The man just gave me a dirty look and had the following mutter cut off by a elbow from his wife. I had to look away to keep from laughing as she gave him The Look(TM) as she smiled sweetly. Slipping away from the two with my ears flicking in amusement.
Threading my way through the crowd a voice called out.
"Dakota you baktag!*
I cringed, I really didn't want to deal with her until I had some sleep. As said female five feet nothing of Star Fleet Engineer headed my way. Having known her for years still doesn't prepare you for her in person.
There was a odd sensation in response to my cringe. *FHUMP!* and found myself flailing as my balance was suddenly thrown backwards. The nearest people to me scattering away from the sudden mass of tails behind me.
"Oooo." Lt. Liz never even missed a step as she pulled out a tri-corder and dove into the twitching tails like a clown fish. "Spontaneous extra body part manifestation do to negative stimulation. Bio would be interested in these readings." With practiced ease she danced out of the way, her gaze fixed to the tri-corder, as I fell on my ass. "There are nine tails."
Without even looking up she let loose a string of cruses in Klingon and cuffed me upside the head with a open hand. It wouldn't be the only time someone smacked me for my biomod.
"Hey!"
"That's for turning yourself into a kitsune."
"It was a accident and my Champions Online character was a -half- kitsune gadgeteer. I'm only suppose to have two tails." I gave the flicking tail mass a glare.
"Doesn't matter."
I managed to fend off another cuff aimed at my head. Then pulled the duffle bag around to retrieve the holoemitter. Barely even getting it out before it was snatched from my hand. The USB stick that went with it also vanished into Lt. Liz's satchel.
"You're still a baktag and the offer still stands."
"No."
She just shrugged tossing a HEROS comm unit, a map, and paperwork into my lap. "Already made housing arrangements with Kandor City authorities, basic ones." She disappeared into the gathered crowd.
I gave said crowd and the number of cameras a glare as I climbed back to my feet. They parted out of my way as I headed for the Maglev terminal. Later I found out that trying to use a seat was a pain in my tails, pun intended.

Kandor City
Feb 13, 2013
The dorm wasn't bad, built for four, I was the only one in it at the time. The bunks where built into the walls by the small bathroom with a sonic shower. The whole space was about the size of a average RV. I was lounging on a small folding chair in the combo living area and kitchenette. My tail count has finally returned to a rather normal two.
Building a house of cards on the fold out table. When the HEROS comm unit began playing the superman theme. Turning slightly and leaning my chair back, I snagged it off the small shelf behind the couch. A simple text message flashed on it's small screen when I hit the Send button.
"Congratulations! You are now the newest employee of Tesla Labs, You will report to work Tomorrow for orientation. - Dr. CLAW"
Wut?
"PS: MUWHAHAHAHA!"
I fumbled the comm when it gave off a loud thunder crash when the text ended. Making my ears go tight against my skull as my chair tipped past the point of no return. All I could do was flail for a moment before landing flat on my back.
*FHUMP*
The half built house of cards collapsed as I was engulfed in a mass of flicking tails.
"God damnit!"

Working for Tesla Labs wasn't bad, except the getting shaved bald part when one of the mads tried to study how I changed the number the number of tails I have. I looked like a multi-tailed drowned rat for a week. To a lot of people's amusement and youtube video view hits.
