<span style="font-weight: bold">â€œThe Captain will probably be debriefing us and you privately once things settle down for a bit. So what info is exchanged and shared would be dealt with her, though I am thinking that it will be a similar set upâ€</span><br/><br/>Dren nodded, finishing his plate of food. He set his fork on the empty plate, the metal covering his claws tinked on the ceramic.<br/><br/>"Yes, about that. If I am to meet your leader, I should change out of this flight suit, and perhaps take a shower. I've been in this thing for over a week..."<br/><br/>With Angela leading the way, he bid farewell to the others at the table and followed her back to the hangar. Crossing the expansive room, he saw several dozen engineers going over his mech with scanners of all sorts, but they couldn't seem to get the lower hatch to open once it had closed as soon as he fell from it a while ago.<br/><br/>They all seemed to stop to stare, acting embarrassed that they were snooping around it and stopped what they were doing as Dren looked up at them. They looked like they expected him to be furious that they were picking at his craft but he held out an armored hand as Angela seemed to step forward to reprimand them.<br/><br/>"It's fine. They're just curious." he said, "Yuri, give them general access to schematics and basic systems for repair purposes. Translate everything for them as well. Just don't let them activate anything or access the Ether Generator."<br/><br/>"<Are you sure?>" Yuri asked from his shoulder as she opened the hatch for him. They all watched as the lower chest of the cat-like mech lowered and the pilot's seat exposed. Dren nodded as he climbed back inside to fetch a bag in a compartment behind the seat, then began hitting controls to lock down the main systems so the Engineers couldn't do anything with it. Lastly, he grabbed his helmet and exited the cockpit leaving it open for them to investigate.<br/><br/>Angela guided him to a locker room just off the main hanger. Pointing out a spare locker he set his helmet inside and removed his gloves, chest piece and boots, resting them inside the wide locker, then untied the bell from his tail to allow it to pass through the opening in the pants portion of the suit. His mind was racing as he undressed, almost on autopilot as he did so, trying to think of what was to come, and not really thinking about decency. When he finally removed his Translator Orb, he closed the locker and stepped into a nearby shower, turning to see Angela still in the room, not noticing her before this. He had assumed she had left, but he finally noticed a slightly open locker behind her with obviously female undergarments inside, barely visible from behind the metal door. This was a co-ed locker room.<br/><br/>He wasn't sure if he should even be concerned with decency because of the differences in species, but he blushed regardless, hoping to hide the redness on his cheeks through is fur and he put his head under the torrent of water.<br/><br/>"<Sorry for that. I forgot you were there.>" he said, forgetting his translator orb wasn't on anymore.
