A new body and a new world can make people do crazy things.
Consider Cliff here. He traveled to Miranda 11 to get away from the stress of
his executive job. Miranda 11 is a female only enclave. That was part of the allure
for Cliff. He not only wanted to get away, he wanted to forget, and he wanted
to be someone else for a while. As someone else he could forget the financial
problems he left behind at his company.
The first thing that happens when you disembark your
spacecraft on arrival is orientation. You are required to leave your clothes in
a locker and slip into a body suit slimmer, as they are called. The body suit
modifies your body until you are a fully functional woman. Then they give you
your identity papers with your name. Cliff is Mary for his stay on Miranda 11.
Nothing brings out crazy fun like a body suit on Miranda 11.
The body suit regulates environmental comfort so snowboarding, as Cliff is
doing here, is a wildly fun time in a bikini. Cliff made the most of his
vacation and for six weeks forgot all about the problems back home. But go home
he must.
Cliff discovered a way to sneak off planet with the body
suit. If he was willing to spend the rest of his life as a woman he could walk
away from his financial problems and start over as Mary. Cliff knew what he had
to do. It was easier sneaking onto the ship than onto the planet. Cliff hid in
his baggage compartment until the flight was underway. Now it is smooth sailing
all the way home. Nobody will be looking for him or hounding him for money. He
will have a fresh start at life.
