The warm water of her shower was a pleasant change of pace, truth be told it was rather hot. Mei didn't mind much though, it was a pleasant release from the time spent in the cold biting antarctic winds and a good way to wake herself up gently in the mornings. After this and a warm cup of tea work would seem like a breeze. Not only that but considering today was her birthday maybe captain Opara would go easy on her.

The crew's personal rooms weren't luxurious but it was plenty to work with for any scientist in a remote location. If anything compared to normal circumstances the researchers here were living in the lap of luxury. They each had their own room in the crew quarters about the size and layout of a simple motel room, but obviously much cleaner. Each room had a bed, a television, a closet, and a small private bathroom. The bathroom felt more like a personal locker room though, since the shower head was out in the open with no divider of any kind.

"I guess it's time to get out… or stop washing I guess." Mei said to herself with a sweet little giggle. She turned off the water with a pleasant sigh and wiped her face with her hands. Eyes closed she turned around to grab her towel off the wall hook but to her surprise her hand came into contact with the smooth metal wall. She blinked her eyes several times to open them properly. Though her sight wasn't perfect she couldn't see her towel anywhere and could tell it definitely wasn't where it should be or even on the floor. She slowly made her way over to the sink, grabbing her glasses, and slipping them on. Her surprise was confirmed, her towel was gone. Not only that but her pajamas she removed before the shower were missing as well.

"W-What?!" Mei's heart sank a little. Maybe she had just misremembered it but she was sure she left her pajamas on the floor. Not only that but she knew for a fact she had a nice fluffy towel on the wall. Mei muttered some manderin curse words under her breath and moved her wet hair behind her head. She get it as dry as she could by quickly shaking her hands over it. Stepping into her bedroom she let out a loud gasp and her eyes widened.

Immediately she saw her bedsheets were gone. "Oh no, no, no no!" she squeaked and hurried over to her closet, only to find it completely empty except for her slippers and a few pairs of snow boots. She felt her heart sink again, feeling violated and invaded. Knowing someone had seen her naked without her consent she shivered and instinctively wrapped her arm over her plump breasts and laid a hand over her freshly shaven pussy. "Snowball? Snowball wake up." She whimpered.

The little drone on it charging station fluttered its digital eyes open and beeped a few times. It popped up and hovered in the air, seeming a little perplexed as to why its keeper hadn't gotten dressed yet.

"You didn't see anything, did you? Where did all my clothes go?" Mei whimpered.

Snowball just looked around the room in confusion before his eyes were replaced with a digital question mark. This wasn't exactly comforting to me, who started pacing back and forth, letting her hands off her body, locking her fingers behind her head and leaning her head back. If anyone had been present it would be the perfect opportunity to see her plump body bounce with every frantic step. Despite being nude she was still warm and her bright pink nipples were silky soft. Her plump asscheeks bounces just as much as her heavy breasts, something Mei became painfully aware of the more time she spent bare.

"Okay, snowball. Call Arrhenius, she's probably the least likely to be involved in this… just a voice call please. No video for obvious reasons."

The little drone beeped and a telephone picture popped up on his screen. He made a classic ringing sound as the call connected and to Mei's relief Arrhenius answered with no sign of ill intent.

"Good morning, Mei." The seemingly sweet older woman answered.

Mei said in a whisper, "Arrhenius, please, can you run and get me some spare clothes? I think someone is playing a prank on me."

"Oh I know, dear." The older woman answered calmly, Mei feeling her throat tightening up. "It's your birthday! And here it's tradition you spend it in your birthday suit." She giggles and Mei could hear the laughs of her team members in the background. "Now don't stall. Come on to the Crew Quarters. You've got a big day ahead of you."
