"Uh, well," Renfield stammered, nervously loosening his necktie, having been dreading this moment from the second Padd had kissed him. "To tell the truth, I don't know. She came onto me so strong that day that, uh, it happened, and I thought I had feelings for her, then I didn't, and then suddenly you kiss me and, uh, well, to say the least, I'm really confused."

Padd sighed angrily and shook her head.
"Sometimes, Renfield, I don't know what to do with you. You're desperate for sex from a mammal, and then you try to pass it off as confusion. Just be thankful I didn't decide to kill her when I had the chance!"
She opened the door and looked at Vernita. "Come on, kid," she muttered. "Warren is waiting."

"Hey," Renfield said fiercely, indignant, "I wasn't desperate for anything. She came onto me, and then so did you. My life is confusing enough as it is just remembering who and what I am without this soap opera crap." He shut his yap when Padd opened the door, lest Vernita overhear him.

Vernita stood quietly, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She closed Renfield's jacket tightly around her nakedness and followed Padd and Renfield into the dark new frontier...

Padd stared icily at Renfield but then turned to Vernita.
"If we're going to Orwell, we'll need to stop somewhere and get you some clothes first."

Renfield frowned. He had been planning to suggest to Vernita they stop off at her apartment and get her something to wear, only to have Padd beat him to it. "Major, I..." he said, trailing off, looking horrendously guilty about what he had said. And he was.

"Wait, commander, I'm thinking." Padd mumbled, and moved over to a hidden work-area, and stripped a female corpse of its' clothes, stealing the simoleons inside while she was at it.
After briefly ironing it with whatever was handy (A heated paperweight), she handed them to Vernita.
"Your size, I think," she answered. "Go back in the room and get changed."

Renfield wondered where Padd had gotten the clothing from. "Where did you get those?" he inquired, tilting his head a bit, suddenly worried.

Padd pulled Renfield over to the side out of Vernitas' earshot.
"I said I'd make sure we wouldn't be disturbed, and I did. If Vernita is going to join us, why worry over a few mammals?"

Vernita dressed in a stupor, her head still a bit foggy from all the goings-on. After adorning herself with clothes again, she rejoined the pair and folded her arms behind her back. She took a deep breath to closed her eyes.
"How do I look, Ren?"

Padd winced as Vernita spoke the word "Ren", her eyes evidently filled with jealousy. She fixed a fake smile on her face and hissed between her teeth.
"Well...Ren, answer Vernitas' question."

As Vernita approached, Renfield was whispering heatedly to Padd. "Well, there's a big difference between caring about some no-name subordinate being kacked, and worrying about our cover being blown because a murder is committed in the building where I work. All I ask if that you consult me the next time you plan to do someone in."
He stopped as Vernita came up to them and smiled at her, his mood brightening as he beheld her beauty. "You look wonderful, Vernita," he said truthfully. Renfield remained blissfully ignorant of Padd's jealous disapproval of the faux hare's interspecies infatuation with Vernita.

Vernita yawned noisily, obviously mentally and physically fatigued. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, as if expecting the world to change in appearance through the filter of her newfound destiny...

Renfield sighed, just glad they weren't going to have to kill Vernita. He wondered whether things would've turned out differently had Major Padd not appeared. Prior to Padd's appearance, Renfield was on the fast track to being a double agent for the U.A.C. - something he wisely kept to himself especially in light of learning about the fate of Padd's other former captain - but since Padd appeared he had been getting pulled back into serving Komplex.

Padd was obviously livid at Renfields' attitude towards Vernita, but tried her best not to show it.
"Before we go, I'll need to put on my own disguise. Excuse me for a moment." she mumbled, and moved into a side-room to put on her own disguise.
