Jal was taken off-guard by Shi's sudden 'assault', for lack of a better term, the kiss alone was surprising to her, as, frankly, she had never experienced one before. Shi's small hands trying to hold her down as well as feel her up just added to her mix of confusion, concern, and, very faintly, arousal. Carefully, she gently pushed Shi back into a sitting position, sitting up again herself, but holding Shi in place as the brunette continued to try to get as close as possible. "Shi... wait."<br/><br/>Jal sighed, then hugged Shi to her, temporarily pinning the smaller pilot's arms as she whispered into Shi's ear, telling her a secret that caused Shi to pause, then nod, before moving more gently, as Jal's hands slowly rubbed Shi's back, working the tension out of her muscles before she stood, unzipping her jumpsuit completely and slowly peeled it off. The tough fabric had been lined with a much softer inner layer, allowing Jal to be almost entirely naked underneath, only wearing some light panties under the suit as she slipped the clothes off, causing Shi to practically drool with arousal.<br/><br/>Pulling her arms free first, she hugged her waist, then shrugged the suit off to her midsection, her large breasts still showing the firmness and pertness of youth, though the small steel barbels through each nipple showed that she didn't mind getting piercings in intimate locations as she turned, showing off her unscarred back to Shi as she shimmied her hips slightly, the jumpsuit falling to the ground as she returned to the bed, wearing only her panties as she sat down next to Shi and let the smaller pilot explore as she wanted.<br/><br/>In the corner, unharried by human needs, but curious nonetheless, Hound's AI core popped a camera up from its housing, recording the entire display for archiving as it also recorded Mhegan's message to Shi.<br/><br/>In the hangar, Jal's 'Mech, its own, comparatively ancient computer, took the message left for Jal and sent an automatic message back to Spyder.<strong> 'I am sorry, but Jalith is currently out of her office of fire control. Your message has been received and will be relayed at the earliest opportunity.'</strong>
