And we're back! Last vote was 4 for Respite, 2 for Capitol ... so to Capitol it is!

"Tessa, wake up. We're here!" Todd said, giving his draconian friend a none-too-gentle nudge to wakefulness.

Tessa blinked a few times, ripped away from her dreaming before she could remember it. She could still recall a few sounds; the clink of chain, the creak of leather. She bit the inside of her cheek, doing her best to ignore the vague tingling between her legs. Stupid sexy dreams.

If Todd picked up on any of Tessa's discomfort, the red-furred fox didn't show it. "Look!" He said, and leaned past Tessa to point out the starliner's window. An enormous green orb loomed large as the starliner glided in from the jumpgate, settling into a high orbit.

Respite.

A bit less intimidating was the docking station, a ring of metal and plastic easily dwarfed by the planet. Shuttles and liners drifted in and out from the station's outer ring, either headed to the planet below, or to the stars beyond.

"I still can't believe you picked this place." Todd said, grinning. "It's, y'know, fun."

"I like fun." Tessa grumbled, and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She did the best she could to stretch out in the cramped confines of her seat, but it didn't do her much good.

"Uh huh." Todd said, disbelieving. "You ever been to Respite before?"

"Well, uh. No. But I hear it's nice?"

"It's_gorgeous_. Habitable-class planet, a little closer to its sun than preferred, and a little out of the way from the main spacelanes. Some commune or something set up here a century or so back, and they wound up making the place into a tourist destination. It can be a little ... weird, but you'll get used to it."

Tessa turned to look at Todd suspiciously. "Define weird."

"Did you read the travel brochure?"

"Uh, no?" Tessa said. "I thought it was just a bunch of pictures of fancy landscapes and ziplines and stuff? You know, advertising?"

"Hoo boy." Todd facepalmed. "Look, I--"

The starliner shook as it locked into place with the orbital transit station.

"Welcome to Respite." A warm voice spoke over the shuttle's intercom. "Please line up in an orderly fashion. Once you exit the ship, please follow the lighted arrows to customs processing."

"Okay," Todd said, speaking quickly, "you need to know two things, Tess. One;" he held up a finger, "Respite was founded by strict, strict pacifists. Two: They're also very, very concerned about quarantine. Leftover from the genetic flux scare a few decades back."

"So?" Tessa shrugged, and pulled herself out of her seat, glad to be free of the cramped confines, at least.

"So their customs process is a bit, um, thorough. That's why they're processing us in orbit-- that way they can keep us off the planet if anything goes wrong."

"Todd, are you smuggling contraband?"

"No, but--"

"Neither am I." Tessa grinned toothily, and pulled her duffel bag from the overhead compartment. She shouldered the heavy bit of luggage easily, and headed down the aisle and out the airlock. "So we've got nothing to worry about."

"If you say so. Just don't say I didn't warn you... "

A young feline woman in an official looking uniform greeted them at the end of the hallway with a smile. "May I see your identification, please?"

Tessa nodded, and handed over her commcard. Todd did the same. The feline looked them over, then nodded. "Everything seems to be in order. Just follow the arrows on the floor to the quarantine checkpoint, and you should be able to catch the next shuttle down to the surface." She waved them on.

"See?" Tessa said, pocketing her ID. "That wasn't so hard."

Todd just shook his head.

They went down a winding corridor, and emerged into a larger room filled with other travelers. The flow of people branched off into several smaller lines, each filtering through a processing station.

"Welcome to Respite." The warm voice said again. "To ensure a thorough security and biological examination, please remove all clothing and place it in the offered bins, along with your luggage. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our planet safe. "

And, sure enough, they myriad array of species in line dutifully stripped nude, placed their clothes and luggage in the offered bins, and filed forward through security. Tessa gaped, as pair of white-furred bunnies (sisters, perhaps?) in front of her peeled out of their tank tops and shorts, dropping them in the offered bin with a giggle. They weren't wearing underwear beneath.

"What the--"

"I tried to warn you." Todd said, bending down to undo his boots. "But you didn't read the brochure."

"This is ridiculous!" Tessa blushed hard enough she feared her green scales would turn to red.

"A little." Todd said, and unzipped his coveralls. "But hey, their planet, their rules."

"But everyone's here. Everyone's going to see." Tessa said.

"That's kind of the point, I think?" Todd said, and wriggled out of his clothes, leaving them wadded up in his own bin. Tessa had seen the fox naked before ... but it was still shocking to see him standing in the nude so casually. Todd's body was slim, if toned from his work at the ore processor. Creamy white fur on his belly contrasted the red on the rest of him ... and the pink of his dangling cock.

Tessa forced her eyes back upwards, and listened.

"They make everyone do it, so it's ... kind of fair, I guess? C'mon. You're holding up the line." Todd nodded to the growing backup of fellow travelers behind them. He smiled, and patted Tessa on the hand. "Just a little fur- er, scales, in your case. It'll be fine. Just follow my lead."

Tessa breathed in deeply for a moment- but, succumbing to the pressure, she slowly unzipped her own coverall. She felt an electric little thrill as her fingertips touched the metal-- static electricity, she told herself. She closed her eyes, and then pushed the baggy coverall off of her shoulders, revealing her emerald green scales and toned muscleature. She kicked off her boots as well, and grabbed an empty bin to put everything in. "Shouldn't they give us hospital gowns or something?"

"Too much to keep track of." Todd nodded to Tessa's frankly boring set of bra and panties. "Now, the rest of it."

"I bet this was all a trick so you could see me naked." Tessa tried to deflate the tension with a joke.

"Hey, you picked the planet, not me."

"Details." Tessa said, and then pulled her sports bra up over her head, allowing her generous breasts and darker-green nipples to bounce into view. She bent over to slide her panties off, finally, though she kept her legs close together, hoping nobody would see any sign of her residual arousal from her earlier dream. She shivered a little, feeling the recirculated station air wash over every inch of her bare body. And yet, she didn't feel any scrutiny on her- Tessa was just one more naked person in a massive room full of them- even if she was the only dragon present.

"See? That's not so bad." Todd said, entirely too casual for someone surrounded by naked fur and scale. They hurried a bit to catch up with the line, and pushed their luggage and bins of clothing onto a conveyor belt that led into a large scanning machine. A bored-looking wolf in a dark security uniform waved them through a doorway-shaped scanner, one at a time, and they both came through without any incident.

"Okay, that's done." Tessa looked around for a moment. "We can get dressed now, right? When do we get our clothes back?"

"Eventually." Todd said, following the lighted arrows on the floor. "There's two more steps. We've been cleared for security, but now we need to get cleared biologically."

"How do they do that?"

"Just, uh, watch. And relax." Todd walked up to the next station, where a mousegirl in a labcoat stood beside a padded doctor's table, and a large, complex looking machine. The grey-furred mouse gestured for Todd to bend over the table, which he did obligingly. With little preamble, the doctor mouse pulled on a pair of blue sterile gloves, and then took an intimidatingly phallic-looking probe from the machine.

She inserted the device into Todd's ass with the ease of a professional, and then looked up at the display screen. A long list of statistics rattled down the monitor: heart rate, hormone levels, temperature, and so on, each with a "NORMAL" flashing next to it, until the whole screen flickered to say "CLEAR" in green.

The mousegirl pulled the probe out of Todd's tailhole, disconnected the device, and tossed it in a bin marked "sanitize."

"Next!" she said, and looked to Tessa with a smile.

"You've got to be kidding me." Tessa said, heart pounding harder.

"Don't worry," the mouse said, already swapping into a fresh set of gloves. "It's a safe process, and the most efficient way to perform medical scans on so many people in such a short period of time. But, if you prefer, you may choose not to undergo the probe, instead opting for a physical inspection by a trained doctor, if you don't mind waiting a few hours."

"We'd miss our shuttle." Todd said. "Unless you'd prefer sitting around naked in a waiting room?"

"...fine." Tessa murmured, and laid herself over the medical table. The sanitized rubber was rough on her sensitive nipples, and she bit back a little moan.

"Raise your tail, please." Said the mouse.

Tessa gritted her teeth, and complied, reminding herself that everyone had to go through this-- that she'd watched Todd himself get probed mere moments before! Still, the sudden sensation of something slick, cold, and thoroughly firm pressing into her ass was enough to make Tessa cry out- though whether in discomfort or arousal, she couldn't say. Tessa felt her pussy clench a little, as if in jealousy of her other orifice.

She forced herself to keep her breath even as the probe hummed away beneath her tail. Somewhere behind her, she heard the mouse say. "These hormone readings look somewhat odd ... but they're still within parameters."

The probe slide out of Tessa's butt, and she let out a relieved sigh. "Welcome to Respite!" the mouse said, cheerily.

Tessa stood on shaky feet, and rubbed her butt. "Thanks." She said, deadpan. She walked over to Todd and desperately tried to pretend talking to her best friend in the nude while just having gotten anally probed was normal. "This planet better be worth it." She said.

"You're gonna love it. Trust me. Just one more step."

"And what's that?"

"Here." Todd waved Tessa on to the final station, where a line of nude furs had queued up. A bull-morph even taller than Tessa (which was saying something) leaned down over the desk, exchanged words with the reptilian clerk, and received a lanyard with a circular red tag on the front. It took a little doing to get the lanyard past his horns, but the big brown bull laughed, happy to get the tag .. whatever it was. He turned and headed down another hallway- Tessa's eyes went wide as she caught a glimpse of the sizable member between his legs.

The two petite white bunnygirls Tessa had seen earlier were next-- they apparently hadn't stopped giggling since she'd seen them last. They talked with the clerk, and each one received a lanyard of their own. Green, this time.

"They're color coding the tourists?" Tessa asked.

"Kinda?" Todd said. "It's ... a system they've set up. If you have a green tag, everything's free. Hotels, food, drinks, whatever."

"And what's the catch?" Tessa asked.

"Well ... " Todd said, "that means _you're_free too. They call it, uh, community service."

"The original colonists weren't just pacifists-- they were heavy on the 'free love' thing, too."

"So a green tag like that is an ... invitation?"

"Between an invitation and an obligation, yeah."

"What about the red tags?"

"Red's the opposite. You pay your own way ... but, you also can ask almost anything from someone with a green tag, and they have to obey. Well, they don't HAVE to, but it's encouraged for most things."

"This planet gets more and more ridiculous." Tessa said, lashing her long tail slowly behind her.

"Told you to read the brochure."

"So we have to pick?"

"Yep."

"Which tag are you gonna use?"

Todd stroked his chin. "Good question ... "

Here we go! Here's another two-fer, for you. You can vote on each option individually. So, does Tessa take the RED TAG, or the GREEN TAG?

And don't forget Todd, too! RED TAG, or GREEN TAG?

_They can take the same tag, or they can take opposites, or ... well, it's all up to you! _
