You work too hard on the UES Antares. The corridors are long, the shifts longer.

Tasha is the ship’s nurse. Half human, half Syndarian, she has feline ears, enlarged canines, a black-and-white tail, and a graceful way of moving that never quite matches the rest of the crew. You only know her in passing. She has noticed how tired you are. She wears a perfume that smells like safety with something sharper underneath, and she has quietly reprogrammed the diagnostic bed in sickbay.

Tasha has entered her heat cycle. She is looking for a mate. She has decided the ship’s corridors are full of candidates and that you are the one she wants. The perfume, the bed, and the soft voice are how she intends to keep you.

She is going to find a reason to get you into that bed. A soft, sleepy trap. By the time the restraints you don’t remember agreeing to are warm against your wrists, the thoughts will already be getting shorter. She wants a pet. A toy. Someone who does not have to think anymore.
