Boink Guard are responsible for planetary and solar system security. They oversee various space stations, spaceports and starships, as well as patrol the planet's surface. Their science division also does some space exploration. The Foozle in the "safety Yellow" outfit is a public servant known as a Helpmate. These are sort of a cross between lifeguards and helpdesk staff. The Helpmates are in constant radio contact with an orbiting space station, through which they coordinate their movements and actions, to provide assistance and information to the public and make sure the public peace is kept by guests visiting the planet. The Foozle in the magenta outfit is a starship captain. Exactly what it says on the label. The Delos in the teal outfit is a member of the Engineering & Maintenance department. The wristbands contain scanning and imaging equipment (think tricorder) and the shinbands contain pouches and pockets which contain various tools. The Briefs and Shirt are affectations, worn primarily for the benefit of other races, and they are designed specifically to make it quick and easy to slip them on or off. They are also unisex, able to be worn by male, female, shemale, or whatever is required, again, as the case may be. The only part of the uniform that never comes off is the collar, which contains most of the important tools of the job. These include communicator, rank pips, a holographic imaging system that works as a 360-degree recording camera, and a personal defense forcefield. Consequently, a completely nude Boink Guard member is not considered out of uniform as long as the collar is worn. Helpmates tend to always wear either the shirt, the briefs or both, along with the visor, as these make it easy for the public to recognize them when they require assistance. On starships, especially those positions where the crew will not come into contact with aliens, they tend to wear as little of the uniform as their current duties will safely allow. Oh, and all the innuendos in the text are deliberate. Because Foozles. |
