A former starship captain is thrust into a series of adventures on parallel worlds which, for some reason, almost always seem to require her nudity and sexual submission. Is someone or something behind it all, or is it just the natural order of things?
Note: This is a sequel to Emily 2.0 but also contains characters, and references events from Casey's Fall and Casey's Rise. While not essential, it is recommended to read those first to get the most out of this story.
Warning: some chapters may contain scenes of non-consensual or reluctant sex.
Themes include embarrassment, humiliation, non-consent, reluctance, public nudity, public sex, a touch of BDSM here and there, and occasional violence if it's relevant to the story or character development.

After setting down at the Earth 2 base, no one was particularly surprised to see the other ship parked outside the main hangar. It also bristled with the same armaments as the Earth 2 ship. Collingwood explained that some Earth 1 technicians were being dropped off to oversee development of new ships, while Jenkins and Norris would soon return home. One visitor they weren't expecting was the Earth 1 General. He was positively beaming as he sat in the Earth 2 General's office awaiting their arrival.
"This world is amazing!" he greeted at first before spotting the Earth 2 General. "I say, you sure are a fine looking fellow."
The two Generals eyed each other, circling around in complete astonishment. At last, they simultaneously held their hands out to each other and shook. Bizarrely, as their hands made contact, they pulled each other into a manly embrace.
"I feel like I am reuniting with a long-lost friend," one commented.
"I have the same sense," the other agreed.
As the embrace continued to the point of feeling awkward to everyone else present, Cassandra finally butted in.
"Umm... I hate to interrupt, but we gotta find out what's happened to Greg."
"Of course," the Earth 2 General acknowledged, finally pulling away from his Earth 1 counterpart, albeit with obvious reluctance. "I shall make some calls, beginning with the local authorities. I imagine the effects of the hypon would have placed him in an unfortunate predicament on his arrival here, which would have attracted their attention."
As he began tapping keys on the Vidlink on his desk, the Earth 1 General turned his attention to the five naked women present, and was formally introduced to Casey, Cassandra, Madison and Elizabeth.
"You're not cold or embarrassed?" he asked.
"There are allowances for colder weather, sir, but most of the year the climate is quite mild," Emily answered on everyone's behalf, remembering the winter months of her first visit quite well. Most women stayed indoors on colder days, while boots, gloves and temporary coats were allowed outdoors as needed, but only during winter.
"The female body is a thing of beauty, mate," Casey countered, sensing a sexist traditionalist in their midst. "The patriarchy has tried to censor us. Now men get to see what real women look like. I'm not embarrassed by that, nor should I be."
The General frowned vaguely as he turned towards her. "No need to get defensive. I'm merely curious. This culture is quite different to where I'm from."
"Understandable, General," Madison answered, quickly stepping in to calm the situation before it could escalate. "Casey also is from a different culture. Nudity is allowed there, but there are differences to here. They have a voluntary registration scheme, whereas here it's mandatory for all women."
"Fascinating," the General marvelled. "I wonder if such a scheme would be workable on my world. Currently we have no provision for public nudity, and I imagine we would get a lot of objections should we attempt to implement something. The commands, also, would be problematic for many."
"On Casey's world, it's all opt-in," Emily added. "She runs a resort where women choose to become nudists and follow some of the commands from clientele within the boundaries of the resort."
"So, a defined area with voluntary participants," the General nodded as he considered it. "Something like a military base perhaps?"
"That would probably be inappropriate, sir," Emily quickly responded, suddenly worried the General was fully intending to implement such a scheme. Knowing what he was like, she expected it would almost certainly be coercive, if not outright mandatory. That could mean ending up nude on her home world should she ever return. It caused a shudder as she considered her old colleagues and family seeing her in her current state. "A resort is one thing, but a military base is quite another. I imagine there would be considerable backlash."
"It depends," the General answered. "If it was introduced the right way and for the right reason, I think it could happen. For example, we do need something in place to allow women from this world to travel to our world. That invitation could then be extended to female personnel in our world, particularly female personnel who have been assigned to missions here."
"Wait, are you saying that you would expect women from our world, if they are inducted into the conditions of this world, to remain nude and under those conditions once they return home?" Emily questioned, seeing loopholes and wishing to close them fast.
"I think they should be given that opportunity," the General considered. "It would not seem fair to force them to dress again if they do not wish it. As Casey said, they have a right to not be censored, nor should they feel embarrassed to express themselves that way."
"So, you wouldn't force them to remain undressed just because they were naked here under the rules of this world?"
"I think it should be encouraged at least. I look around here and I see a world vastly less violent and polluted. There is harmony, while at home we have discord. Any measures we can take to duplicate these conditions on our world should be welcomed."
Emily sensed the Earth 1 General was being a bit slippery and difficult to pin down with a straight answer about just how voluntary such a program would be, not to mention how she might be personally affected by it. Before she could formulate another question, she was interrupted by the other General.
"Your friend is being held at the police main branch," he announced as he hung up his Vidlink. "He is in good health, but they were not sure what to do with him since he arrived revealed and did not have identification. I have informed them he is under the protection of the military, and they have agreed to release him into our custody."
"Thank goodness! That's such a relief," Casey responded. "When can we go and get him?"
"I will assign some officers to retrieve him. It is better that you remain on the base until you have been through Debutante."
"I can do it, sir," Collingwood interjected. "I just need to don my uniform and get out of these coveralls first."
