Changes: Net-girl

Latest revision as of 14:59, 11 December 2019

A net-girl was the term used to describe a woman who sold access to her mind for money via the use of a permanently-implanted dataport. The practice was akin to prostitution, indeed the practice is implied to be sexual. But, there was no physical contact between the buyer and seller. Net-girls were known to exist on the non-Federation world of Finnea Prime.

The Idanian operative "Arissa" became a net-girl on Finnea when she infiltrated the Orion Syndicate. (DS9: "A Simple Investigation")

Net-girls are known to exist on at least one planet, the non-Federation world [[Finnea]].  (However, dataports have been seen in use on at least one other seedy world ([[Farius Prime]] from [[DS9]]:"[[Honor Among Thieves]]"), and thus the practice is likely not limited to Finnea.)

-: ''Prostitutes practice prostitution, but the practice of net-girls is not named in the episode.  Also, no further detail is given on what precisely a net-girl is doing while sharing her mind with men.  However, that's perhaps best left to the imagination.''
