ON:

As mother had left to aid the station, Yui had stumbled to her room, the foot of her bed facing the door so that if she sat up in bed she could look at whoever came in while in bed. Not being her reason for being here, Yui got to the bed, crawled onto it on all fours enough to be centered, and flopped down on her belly, asleep in seconds. About an hour later Yui's eyes popped open as she became fully awake in an instant. Rolling over onto her back and then sitting up, she scooched her butt to the edge of the bed and put her feet on the floor. A steaming hot bath sounded perfect right now. Closing and locking her bedroom door, Yui began to peel off layers as she headed for her bathroom and straight to the tub, activating the water and lavender scent, with a fair amount of bubbles. Not looking into the mirror, she gathered a PADD for bathing, waterproof in case dropped, and set it on the edge of the tub in the tray provided for items. Removing all her hair accessories she fingered the hair to loosen and then shook it out a bit before stepping into the steaming hot pool of liquid luxury.

A sigh came forth as she dropped bottom into the water and leaned back to languish in the form fitting seat provided beneath the surface, Yui's head and neck supported by the cushioned rim as a headrest while lounging. Leaving the PADD be for now, Yui merely enjoyed the simplicity of the bath, her body relaxing even more so than when she had been lying on her bed. Soon enough her eyes closed as she fell asleep again, the aromatherapy, hot water, and solitude allowing full relaxation. As she awoke still in the jacuzzi tub, Yui had no idea how long she had slept this time until she glanced at the chronometer on the wall. Another two hours of shut eye. Sitting up in the tub brought a new revelation to her own body as Yui felt changes to her chest with that action, and looking down, saw she had fully formed breasts now. Like her mother. Not overly large but there, and firm, not jiggly. Her mom was blessed with the same due to her Augment DNA, but with Yui, instinct told her that her own breasts were there as a byproduct of who she had been previously but really had no purpose other than aesthetic value as a humanoid female.

Yui poked them a couple of times, finding them pliable enough, and even gave them a few squeezes. They felt like breasts should, pliable to physical contact, but there was absolutely no physical reaction as far as libido was concerned. Thinking about them or touching them had not induced any kind of sexual desire in any way. Examining her chest had brought visual attention to her fingernails, which looked remotely familiar, but were now inset into her fingers without a human cuticle. What were once fingernails were now claws with a feline style cuticle keeping them in place. Flipping her hand over and over, Yui noted that they tapered to extremely sharp points, and flexing the muscles in her hand, she thought of them expanding. They grew out of her fingertips to right around an inch long. Retracting them back to standard nail length, Yui grinned to herself. A bit of filing to round the points down to not so sharp, and a bit of nail polish, and unless a close inspection no one would know any different. It was time to get out of the tub and find out what else had changed.

Stepping onto the mat once out of the tub, Yui took up her towel to dab dry her skin, her angle facing towards the large mirror over her sink and countertop area. Her eyes were not the only thing glowing the eerie blue. Stepping up to the counter, the towel held but not being used, her eyes landed on the glowing glyph on her mons. Try as she might, Yui could not get it to disappear of stop glowing by mere force of will and thought. It kept right on glowing. Great, she thought, I have a glow in the dark poom-poom. As before, with her breasts, there was no sexual inclination or thrill at the sight. Thanks to the memories from her mother that were burned into her own eidetic memory, Yui knew how to use sex as a weapon; a distraction. However, beyond that, she had no interest in it. Sex had one purpose; procreation. Children. The concept of her rubbing up against some male for the intended purpose of physical gratification, not breeding, was just...ew!

Seeing as how this glyph was not to be doused even after rubbing it like trying to get a smudge off the skin, or swiping over it to try and use her magick to cause it to disappear, gave no result. It was here to stay, glowing, and she could not alter that fact. Her skin now mostly air dried, Yui dealt with her hair and brushing it out. Stepping into the sonic shower, Yui set her hair length and then allowed the sonic stall to clean her thoroughly, and cut her hair to shoulder length. If she wanted long locks again, the same system was designed to accelerate hair growth for beings wanting to adjust hairstyles, a built in salon for length.

Back at her bathroom sink, Yui looked at her face. She needed her own look. Something unique to her. Looking suave and attractive for yourself was far different than doing it for others. Something that showed her as the individual known as Yui. As she stood there naked with arms crossed over her chest and rubbing her chin in thought, her eyes glanced around. In the reflection, behind her hanging on the wall, were her wireless headphones. Black and dark grey with pink accents and pink glowing lights within. Ding! Black and pink. Two colors that went well together. She now had a premise to start with. Replicating a makeup case, Yui set it on the counter and opened it and set to work (New, and final, bio pic changes). When finished she stood and admired her handiwork. Pink and black eye shadow combined with black eyeliner. Modern makeup did not run or smudge like days of old, staying until removed by the makeup device designed to remove it. So caught up in creating her 'face', Yui had not noticed another physical change until now. She had a black stripe riding along atop her hips, tapering to a close on both sides of her body.

Spinning about, Yui took up another mirror and used it to look at the reflection of her back. The stripe she had noted was dark black, extending from her spine and lumbar region around her waist. Above that stripe were others flaring out from her spine, along each rib line, with a more faded look, accenting her spine and skeletal structure. These did not go around her body but did take up her entire back. They were slightly tribal looking, combined with the mixed appearance of both tiger stripes and that of zebras. Interesting. Done with her makeup and hair, Yui went out to her bedroom and used the larger replicator to create various outfits and clothing items. Black was the primary color, pink being the secondary for almost every item she planned on wearing. Some were just solid black, but designed in Asian fashion from various cultures, Japan being the primary design factor over all.

Creating a black body suit, Yui donned the item. Over that she slid on a pair of form fitting, black, flat leather pants with built in footwear resembling low heel work boot soles. Over the torso she donned a black leather jacket with various design patterns all done up in pink. Liking how she looked in the full length wall mirror as Yui Littlefox, she gave her reflection a smile and nod. Spinning about to face her bed and the way out, Yui saw several items sitting on her bed. Sitting with the items was an envelope. Going around to the foot of the bed she looked down at two exquisitely made long daggers (example in bio pics), with intricate designs and symbolism. Next to those was a composite short bow made from what appeared to be either silver, platinum, or some kind of alloy. There was no string, just the bow. Lying beside that was a quiver made from the same metal as the bow, with three arrows held within.

Taking up the envelope Yui opened it and found a hand written letter inside. She began to read;

***

Dear Yui,

This is your favorite Q. Happy birthday in regards to the new you. These items are for you, yours forever more. Grezhok was trying to achieve what you have become. He is the first Q to ever be wiped from existence for his misdeeds. You are more organic in nature, therefore you do not pose the threat he did and you can easily be stopped by forces above your station. Please, keep that in mind and don't overstep.

Having said that, I wish you all the best. I will no longer interfere in your life or your family's. The abilities you've been given stem from this galaxy, not another. A mistake I made with your mother and am now resented for it. I hope, in time, she can forgive me. I know her conviction is to use the Force as little as possible anymore, and only when extreme measures are needed. Your ability to manipulate Eldritch Magick is a Q trait from the time when we were evolving from material to energy beings. I was to be disciplined severely for my failings and games but, when you made the sacrifice to save your organic companions I made a decision. The Q part of you is me. A part of me. It was the least I could do for Ro. The Continuum, seeing my willingness to be selfless instead of selfish, aided in bringing your particles back from the quantum realm. The only way to put them back together was to make you more like us. This is why you no longer operate under the biology of DNA as your world calls it. Since the reincarnation, your cell nucleus does not use nucleic acids to encode genetic information. Therefore, your genetic makeup is not considered to be DNA. Thus, you do not utilize RNA in the synthesis of proteins. You are unique and, the only one who knows how to heal you properly is you. If you choose to share this information with others that is your decision.

Now, to the weapons. Once you finish this letter the methods on how to use your bow and other items will become a part of your memory. A last little gift before non-interference goes into full affect. The blades are perfectly balanced and the bow string is only added through your magick, solidifying to be able to fire its missiles. However, each arrow and blade can be infused with Eldritch energy for various applications but, that is on you to learn and practice.

Your genetic material from your mother and father can still be recognized even though it is now considered foreign. All the markers are there for easy comparison. They ARE your parents, and never forget that. However, I too am now a part of you. You often referred to me as auntie and I came to appreciate that even before your change. Like your mother you have a charisma that is most appealing. So, niece, live long and prosper and may your years bring you peace and joy overall.

Yours truly,
Qeritas

Reading all that made Yui feel better, more grounded in who she was now. It had not dawned on her that she had grown several inches along with all the other changes. Her mind had simply not noticed that fact while creating her clothing. Folding the letter and putting it back in the envelope she then put it in her personal safe. Replicating weapons hooks she adhered them to the wall in her room and then hung each individual weapon on its own sets of hooks, aligned for easy reach. A personal grin crossed her face as she committed that corner portion of her bedroom wall to memory. For now, it was time to leave the suite and see where she could be useful. Perhaps speaking to mom would aid in that. Making sure all her music was loaded into her headphones, Yui donned them and left her quarters.
