(Toronto, Canada, The Apartment - 2O/CEO - Lt. Cmdr. Keira Merek / Anna Hegilsdottir-  0650)

Keira started feeling the edge of consciousness, and began breaking through that barrier. She felt as if she drank something at the party that maybe she should have thought twice about. She felt the urge to wake but resisted it, instead pulling the warmth closer to her as she wrapped her arm around it.

~Lathuel~

However what greeted her fingers was not the muscular form of her boyfriend it was softer, more delicate. Keira didn’t quite have all her mental faculties yet to identify what it was, her train of thought was derailed by an unfamiliar voice that cut through her fugue.

“Mmm, someone’s getting frisky,” the feminine voice cooed.

Keira’s mind raced, but before she could react she found herself being kissed by whomever this was. Without thinking she log rolled out of the bed and onto the floor. Her eyes were now open. Early morning light was peeking through horizontal blinds on the windows. Cool air touched her skin, all of it.

~Of course I’d be naked.~

“What the hell, babe? Sumthin’ wrong?” came the same voice from the bed.

Keira curled her legs up getting them under her, and moved upright into a crouch. She now saw for the first time the woman who was speaking. Dark brown almost black hair. Her eyes were looking at Keira intently. A little surprise but mostly concern weighed across her brow.

“Anna, is this more of that method acting thing again?”  the woman asked. “You promised me today would be our day, because you go in tomorrow,” 

~Did she just call me Anna? So either she’s as confused as I am or I’m in someone else’s body. She seems to be familiar with the person who’s body I'm in. Intimately familiar. She also seems friendly, a little too friendly. For now I have to play along, whatever force put me here, I can’t let them realize that I know I’m not who I’m supposed to be.~

Keira shrugged. “Sorry, you got me.” ~Stand now. From the looks of it, she’s seen it all already.~ 

“It is getting kind of late, you should probably grab a selfie for your fans maybe, or shoot a video workout. They won’t be seeing you for a while, you know with the NDA, and your followers pay part of the bills. I can only do so much on a lawyer’s salary.” 

~Selfie? Followers? What in Loki’s trickery is this?~

The brunette chuckled, “Maybe you did drink a little too much at that party. Here, this will drive them wild.” she grabbed a small device from a bedside table and approached Keira. She gave a critical eye. She spread her fingers out into a claw and tousled the blonde hair on top of Keira’s head. The dark haired woman came up behind Keira and wrapped her left arm around Keira’s chest, but leaving a little cleavage showing. The brunette put her right arm under Keira’s right with the device in her hand. She faced the screen towards the pair and pushed a button on the side an image of the two of them appeared on the device. The Brunette rested her chin on Keira’s shoulder and adjusted the device to get a better angle.

“Smile you dork.” she teased. Once Keira attempted a smile the brunette made a kissy face and pressed a button on the screen. The device issued a loud click sound. She then walked over and grabbed another similar device and placed them together. Both devices beeped. She handed the other to Keira. “There, that will make all your followers jealous.”

“...and that’s a good thing?” Keira asked. She looked at the device that was handed to her, turning it over from multiple angles. It seemed like a primitive sort of PADD.

“Wow. You are out of it.” The brunette giggled. “I’m Sarah, you’re Anna. We’re exclusively seeing each other, much to the dismay of my parents. Even though they spent hundreds of thousands on my education over the years they still want me to settle down with a nice doctor or lawyer, preferably a partner at some big firm and be Miss perfect Suzy Homemaker.”

“With you so far….” Keira said.

“You are an influencer and actress. You star in one of the new Star Trek series called “Star Trek: Exeter,” Sarah started.

~What is an influencer?~ Keira thought, mid sentence. 

“I’m the Chief Engineer, Keira Merek,” Keira finished.

“Oh, sure,” Sarah said rolling her eyes. “You remember that.”

“I’m not due back there until tomorrow?” Keira asked.

“You’re mine today, Missy.” Sarah said with a smirk. “Yeah, bright and early tomorrow. 0400 is make-up call.”

“Hungry?” Keira asked.

“Starving.” Sarah responded.

“Ok, I’ll take a shower, get my bearings. Then when I get out I’ll cook you some breakfast, deal?” Keira offered.

“Or counter-proposal, I join you in the shower…” Sarah said gently biting her lip.

~I’m not cheating on Ravok with another woman.~

“Maybe next time?” Keira said. ~Not technically a lie.~

“Deal.” Sarah said and walked over to her dresser in the bedroom.

Keira walked into the bathroom which luckily was right off the bedroom. Over the sink was an old style glass and aluminum mirror. 

~That’s my face, but…~ 

Keira looked in the mirror, it was her face, but she noticed her ears were rounded like a human’s. ~Is this what I would look like as a human?~

 Her body was curvier. Keira put her hands on her chest. 

“Where did I get these?” she mumbled.

“Puberty you dork!” Sarah yelled back. “They do a wrap that squeezes your chest down and they shoot angles to make you look taller. You didn’t really think you were six foot did you?”

“Well…” Keira said.

“I like you just the way you are,” Sarah gushed from the other room. “Offer is still on the table…”

“Sorry.” Keira answered.

“Your loss,” Sarah said. “See you when you get out.”

~It’s a good thing Mars prepared me for water plumbing.~ Keira thought, noticing the absence of a sonic shower.
