Morale Boost


Civil War has broken out in the Community of Worlds. The armies of 87 planets joined forces against an entrenched rebel force. The government made progress against the rebels, but morale was starting to wane as the war dragged on for decades. Women were brought in to entertain the troops. As the years went by a shortage of women available to the troops on the front became acute.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. The troops needed an outlet for the stress from fighting on the front line. The military had the perfect solution. Men were allowed to undergo a gender reassignment and then to serve as a belly dancer for the troops. If they wanted they could do even more for the men fighting for our freedom. They did.

Alan always wanted to serve. He wanted to be a hero, but a medical condition denied him his dream. The new military program was just the ticket. He raced to the recruitment office and signed up. The government paid for the transformation. Each term is for 8 years of service. It didn’t seem long to Alan, now Lucretia; he planned on serving until the war ended or he died.

Lucretia became the most famous dancer in the military. Men dreamed of her all the time. She was a hit wherever she danced for the men. She was popular because the troops knew the entertainment didn’t end with the dancing.

Morale rose so high the rebels were defeated in only four more years. Lucretia knew she was a large part of the reason our men won. She missed the cheering men, but she did manage to snag a fine young soldier willing to settle down with her and start a family.
