Identity Crisis, JP by WW and Jay.

Who:- White Wolf Jay/Rio
where:- Cap'n's office
 
 Jay entered White Wolfs office in Rio's body, White Wolf looked up, from his paperwork and asked, "Can I help you, Miss?"
 
Jay looked at the floor and shuffled his feet."Um..Captain.." "Yes? Speak up I wont bite!"
"Well Captain.." Jay coughed, embarrassed "Um..It's Jay....you wanted to see me"
 "It's Miss Rio, Isn't it? What is this about Jay? "
"Well yes captain, I LOOK like Rio Lomaz, but I'm NOT Rio Lomaz, I'm Chrysler!" Jay said embarrassment overloading
"Excuse me? You’re saying your Jay?" As white wolf grabs out a Psych evaluation form from his drawer...
"Look, Captain, you can put away the psych evaluation, Lomaz is no more nuts than any of the pilots, but, you remember the pilots were ordered to have a psych-session with Doc Cerebrum?" White Wolf nodded, raising whatever passes for an eyebrow on a hamster "Yesssssssss....." "HE JUGGLED US!"
Juggled? Like physically picked up and tossed you about?"
"Well...he did do that to Dean yeah, but he's switched our minds all over..Ambers realy Dean, Deans Really Kara, Kara's really Efof, Efof's really Rio, Rio's really me, and I'm really Amber!"
"The only thing worse would have been switching me with Keto!"
White Wolf a confused expression on his whiskered face,  asked "your really really Amber? But I thought you just said you were jay?!?"
 "I'm Jay, yes but Amber is in my body!" he said "If you find it hard to believe ask me something only you and Jay would know, something only the captain and the CNO would know!"
"Right, what's your command code to activate the self destruct mechanism then?"
"Chrysler three seven kilo lima"
White Wolf quickly opened his desk drawer, and grabs out a operations manual, and reads a section of it. And looks up, "I certainly hope our CNO isn't in the habit of Handing out the codes then, because those are the right ones. Okay, I believe you for now..."
“THANK YOU!" Jay said, exasperated, "Trouble is Captain..this is pretty embarrassing for us all as you can imagine, we'd kinda like to keep it hush hush...heaven knows how I'd tell Alota about this.."
:"Your wife catches you in another woman’s body, oh I wish I could be the fly on the wall of that conversation..."
"And frankly I'm worried about Amber in mine..."
"Indeed? What do you think she's going to do when she has to confront Phil?"
"It wont be a pretty sight..." Jay mused, "But was there a reason you called me here?"
"Oh, right. I almost forgot! Do you remember I earlier asked you to check out everybody and give me your recommendations for who to promote and such?"
"Yeah, Zodar got the Chief Engineer job, Katrina got Chief of sanitation, was there a problem with the report?"
"No, I just wanted to make sure. Do you have any other recommendations?"
"Dean..maybe should got a promotion to 'average intelligence'....he muttered, sitting in the chair opposite White Wolfs desk, standing up and adjusting it as he'd done with his own chair before. "Excuse me Captain, I'm not used to the sudden lack in altitude!"
 "I understand completely." replies the huge hamster as he scratches his chin for a moment, and then leans forward, "Well, I've got say, Rio... I mean... Jay, that you've done really well as executive officer. Would you like be the first officer on a more permanent basis?"
"Wow..." Jay said, shocked. "And I thought you called me here to ask about the 4 missing starbugs....."
"Missing starbugs?" White Wolf asked, in an annoyed tone .
 "er...whu..what missing starbugs?" Jay said quickly covering his back. "Captain, I really appreciate the offer...." he said, "but.."
"But?"
 "I...I'm just a flyboy.." he said, looked down at himself then looked back at WW, "at least i WAS a flyBOY.., but what I mean Is I dont have the qualifications, navigating, sure, i can do that blindfold, piloting, blindfolded AND with both arms tied, but...executive officer..I I dunno..."
 "Well, I used to sorta be a fly boy myself"
" I know, but piloting isn’t just my career, it's my life..." he said, "Besides, being in charge of the flight crew is hard enough! The amount of paperwork I have to fill in from Dean related mishaps..like when he got his hand stuck in the drinks machine....I don’t know If I could take the responsibility of the entire crew.."
The huge hamster pushed back in his chair, "Hmm... I suppose I can understand you wouldn't want the burden of command. I didn't wish to be a captain for many years after that failed mission of mine many years ago. Plus I also know that I push someone too much their liable to crack under the pressure. Are you sure you don't want the job, jay? You might rise the occasion, I've seen many people do it before."
"Alota will kill me for turning it down....but, I'm a pilot, through and through, I wouldn’t...couldn’t, give up flying" "there are better people for the XO job, people who have had the training, who have worked hard for the opportunity, if i took it I wouldn’t feel right about it."
"Really? Like who? Go ahead, tell me your recommendation, this is the kind of stuff I was looking for when I asked you to give me that report”.
"There are two people I feel can do the job, the love of your life, or the love of mine"
 "Allie and Alota." Said the overgrown hamster leaning back in his chair, "And both present their complexities. If I promote Allie to being the XO, people can rightly say I'm running a good ole boy's network. And going on your recommending your own wife presents me with a nearly similar problem..."
"Difficult I know, but I don’t think anyone else is right for the job"
 "Are you sure you want to have your wife have more responsibility, and more authority then you? More specifically both in and out of your house?" Asked the rotund hamster slyly.
"Alota giving me orders?..wouldnt be much of a change!" Jay said "But seriously, I support my wife entirely, I'd be proud of her, not resentful. I'm happy as long as I still get the final say in all aerial strategy and navigation issues"
"Well then, Jay. I think the only other question I'd like to ask about Alota - Does she want the Job?"
"Well captain, you’d need to ask her about that". He said, "While I tell Rio I've scuffed one of her shoes..."
"In other words, you have no idea either." remarked the huge hamster, "Okay then I ask her. Do you wish me to wait until after you've explained to her about your ... situation?"
"Oh yeah...that...uh.could you ask her first? Maybe then she'll be happy enough to not care!"
 
"Do you want me to tell her, that you also recommended her, to help soften the blow when she realises you must have turned it down?"
"And perhaps put the toilet seat down for me before she sees it as well?"
The huge hamster blinks, and mutters, "The toilet seat?!?"
"Yeah...she hates that" Jay said. “Guess at least THAT isn’t gonna be a problem for a while”
"Alright. But wouldn't it be already down, with your current condition?" The Hamster than shakes his head, and finishes, "Forget I said that! Mind filling me in on how Cerebrum has done this in the first place? Because I think I'm gonna have to have a talk with him about it. I can't have him changing the sex of my CNO without my permission. Besides, I'd prefer your wife doesn't kill him, either."
"Uh...well...we were in the psych-meeting we'd agreed on, and he started jabbering about nothing, he strapped us into these huge, electric char gizmos and next thing I knew, I was Rio."
"He strapped you in some Electric chairs?!? Wheel chairs right?" Asks the huge hamster.
"Er, no not, wheelchairs, proper, high voltage electric chairs"
"He's isn't capital punishment... Alright do you wish to file a grievance against him?"
"Believe me as soon as I'm tall, blonde, handsome and MALE again I will!"
 With that Jay got up, and stumbled out of the room, having difficulty with Rio's shoes.
