Kinktober 2021: Day 16. Space

 Ensign Thorne was beginning to wonder if there wasn't something very odd about the USS Tiresias. He'd on board for just over a month and in that time Captian Upton had been in a transporter accident that had left him with the body of a teenage girl. 

Then while working on a way to restore the captain's body Doctor Tischenko had her mind swapped with deputy security chief Richard Jacks by an alien artifact.

And just last week an entire away team, both male and female, had mysteriously transformed into nearly identical blonde women while surveying the planetiod EV: HY-D. 

Thorne had thought the sight of the former away team giggling and posing like Risan dancing girls, instead of the experienced officers they'd been only hours before, had to be the strangest thing he'd ever encounter.

That was until today when he'd encountered the nano-swarm. As far as he can tell it was some kind of emergent machine intelligence operating on a microscopic scale. It also appears to have absorbed a huge database containing something called the Victoria's Secret Catalogue and taken it upon itself to "fix" any lifeforms it encountered. Adjusting them to conform to the template provided by the database. 

The quick thinking ensign had managed to stop the tiny machines with a little old-fashioned Star Fleet ingenuity but not before becoming the latest victim of what the crew were calling the curse of Tiresias.

He grimaced as he pulled up what remained of his uniform and examined  his altered body and the archaic under garments that now fit him all too well. 

Yes, there was definitely odd about the good ship Tiresias and if they didn't figure out what it was soon they might find themselves returning to Space Dock with an all female crew!
