School was out for the day, Nico had returned to the Captain’s quarters after classes as expected. Nightskin, and Korn-rows wouldn’t be back for hours, maybe Millenia Nico was not the best with time. The door swooshed open and admitted the six limbed backpack wearing creature. It was a dash and a scamper to the couch, for a flop and roll, then to the bed room for a flop and roll. Oh! Nico ran to the replicator, and waved at the aperture then clambered up to hit the button he knew what did the things, and got whatever was made last for a snack. Nico wrinkled his nose up at what appeared, but tasted it none the less, Korn-rows breakfast. Too many Marsh things for Nico’s preference, the milk was good though.

Nico knew he had time so he reached up under the couch into his favorite place to hide things. Working the second back-back out of hiding, and opening it carefully. Nico had done a lot of work and study to get all these things just right. Most of them he did not understand, or even find remotely comfortable or useful, but with a little work, he got his black uniform shirt on with carefully, well as carefully as Nico could have managed it, added holes for his extra arms. Then came the pants with as carefully added, IE ripped a hole in the seat, tail access. The sandals still were a mystery, Nico knew they went on his true paws, but they were uncomfortable so he left them in the bag for now.

Now dressed in his stuff, he added his “phaser” and “tricorder” to the belt area. There he was all ready to go. Looking around to make sure that no one was actually there Nico pulled himself up to stand on his rear legs his hands on the couch. Then he attempted to walk across the room on his rear paws. It was a stilted staggering thing, his body not designed to do such. He made it as far as the far end of the Coffee Table where he stared at the African head statue thingy that NightSkin kept there.

“Bleek Bleek Bleek, Bleeeek” Nico said accusatory to his suspect, his shoulders squared as he thought Shadowbrother would do. Yup Nico decided he looked tough, and the suspect would tell him everything.
