Oh, wait. I remember what was missing, and that I did. So, I was trying to evoke the sound of a sea-going vessel leaving or entering port, as a way of hinting at what I expect the readers want. To that end, I engaged a buffer overflow attack.
No, I've not done pen testing (on purpose). I have applied for it once, and would like to get into it, however..
Remember, Rapeface Jeff didn't even speak to Ophelia until she damaged him. This is not how one receives permission to progress from flirting to fondling (not that he did any actual flirting, either). And he was told no (3 times), and ignored it (3 times).
Until I read the alt, I was having a difficult time telling whether Fee's being extra-crispy-snarky or if she's actually hitting on Dan…
Sad thing is, I could see her doing both, just to test him a little (& de-stress). If he can take it in stride, he's got a shot, but if he loses his cool or gets too embarrassed, he's blown it.
Since Ophelia is relatively safe and has her friends on the way, she is feeling a lot more free to act as she wishes. She doesn't have to worry that her body can only bench about 100 kg instead of 1000. She can let her hair down and enjoy being in this body for a while. We can only change our clothing, she is in a whole new body, with a better, or at least different sensory package. This may be the first time in her life she can actually act on the fact that she "likes dudes" I don't think that was a priority to the designers of her old body.
Her old body could have only had surface detail.
But it was also strongly hinted at, that Malati had the "whole package", so we don't know.
Of course, Dan might be .. "smooth around the bend".
You also bring up an interesting point. I was under the impression that the Cassians, in general, didn't have the whole thing, because allowing them to be used as sex toys would diminish their effectiveness. (although I could see instances where the reverse would be true) That's not to say none of them had opinions about sex! :D
Yeah, I think in general, it could be true that most of them is just "surface detail only", but I don't think there are any rules against "having the whole package", especially not if it can be argued that they could use it in their work.
ie. subverting someone's position through a sex scandal .. "BREAKING NEWS : The Governator had sexual relations with a Cassian, cigars were definitely involved!! Also, Malati broke his arms when he told her 'no' …. BREAKING NEWS !!"
I may be a voice of one, but I thought that she was letting her hair down a little, and letting Officer Dan know that she trusted him, and she wouldn't be a problem and would cooperate
but then, what do I know, I'm still looking for a decent poem for the next installment of "Poetry Corner with Tokyo Rose"
Tokyo Rose kind of admires James Joyce because of his letters to his lady-love, in which he uses beautifully poetic language while saying some of the filthiest things imaginable.
@Rose: Good lead!!! I'll have something by next update hopefully!
I was thinking about "Of Naming of Cats" by TS Eliot, but Tokyo Rose's Commentary on it would have been completely contrary to how you would actually feel about that particular poem!
(yes, I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with it!)
Maybe I'll save that for the next time you have Hybrid Cat-people in the story!
.. oh wait ..
OanDan seems to be okay; he seems to have a calming effect on Feelie.It's hard to tell for sure with the font, but its probably a forgettable name for the Wasters.
he broke the layout.. >_<

Sheela, the pen test_er_ is not the same as the pen test_ee_.
I absolutely know that my stuff isn't perfect.
"I am not a gratuitous sex object! ... But I do enjoy being treated like one."
I can also forgive a little inconsistency, taking into account the kind of day she's having so far. :D
Man, this body is all sorts of shameful for Ophelia. :D
