Jacob had taken some solace in that his uniform still fit when he put it on, ignoring the fact that the synthetic material was quite stretchy and could accommodate a range of sizes easily regardless of body type. It was fine, right? Aside from having a lion as a lower body, he still looked like the same ol’ Jacob.

A Lioness. His subconscious seemed keen to remind him of that fact at every turn.

Pushing the thought aside, he picked up his rucksack and toolkit, disembarking from the shuttle as its doors opened.

All illusions fled from his head as a lion strode over to greet him, putting up a hand to grab Jacob’s attention. “Oh, you must be the new D10, Ensign Merriport. I apologize on Lt. Gabriel’s behalf, she had an urgent matter to attend to and sent me to be your liaison. I’m Lt. Phillips”

Lions, real lions, were huge, and never mind the heavy ruff of fur on his feline chest and shoulders. He felt his cheeks flush, though he couldn’t quite assure himself that it was embarrassment.

“Oh! Uhm… Yes sir, I am. Thank you, Lt. Phillips”

“Not at all, we’re happy to have you here. One of our D10s is on maternity leave so we’re very happy we have an extra hand right now!”
