Adventures on the USS Hornblower
by
Bad Irving and Maggie Finson
Lieutenant Robin Fischer glanced nervously around the boulder that he
had taken cover behind. Muttering to himself about idiotic ideas
regarding contact with other, not always friendly races. And even more,
muttering under his breath about being stuck with all the shit jobs just
because he was the newest member of USS Hornblower's crew. This job had
sure turned to shit, and all at once.
"Uh, kid," Frank Trot, Chief (and only) Engineer of the exploration ship
they were both crew members on whispered. "You could try and talk to
them again. They aren't really mad at you."
"Oh yeah?" Rob glared at the engineer. "Who is it that forgot to
mention that Putarians hate anyone taller than they are? And the little
fact that they tend to shoot anyone who falls into that category?"
"Hey, I'm an engineer, not a cultural anthropologist," Frank defended
himself. I can't remember everything, you know."
"They're THREE inches tall, Frank!" Rob shouted in his frustration.
"What kind of idiot would program the transporter to make the landing
team three inches shorter than normal instead of three inches tall?!!
I'll tell you what kind, Frank. You!"
"Okay, okay, so I goofed on the math," Trot sighed loudly. "Nobody's
perfect you know."
"Well maybe you ought to quit fooling around with all those fantasy
girls on your engineering computer and pay attention to other details,
do you think? Maybe then we wouldn't find ourselves in this kind of fix
again. Would that be too much to ask?"
"Water under the bridge, kid," Frank responded almost philosophically.
"Speaking of which," Rob chanced another quick peek around the rock they
were currently hiding behind (about the fifth one by his count, the
others had succumbed to Putarian fire and the pair of humans had been
forced to scramble behind another one each time) I think they're fishing
their High priest/governor out of the river where you punted him while I
was trying to talk them out of shooting at us."
"The perverted little fucker was biting my ankle, for crying out loud!"
Frank shot back. "It was just a reflex. I told them I was sorry."
"Ankle biting is an honored ritual of greeting here, Frank," Rob replied
tiredly while rubbing at several sore spots on his own ankles.
"How do you know so much about these shrimps?"
"I READ the god damned mission briefing, Frank! Something you obviously
forgot to do."
"I'm going to check with Isban to see if she's got that transporter up
and running yet," Frank muttered several low imprecations while fiddling
with the settings on his Comm pack.
"Frank, look out!" Rob warned as several of the pint sized, but
bellicose Putarians worked their way through a gap between two rocks and
aimed their tiny, but deadly weapons at the engineer.
"Huh?"
Rob lunged forward to push his partner out of harms way just as the
diminutive demons fired their weapons. His surroundings went to
blinding white, then agonizing red, then to complete blackness.
* * * *
"Medic! We need a medic here!" Frank hollered as he materialized in
the transport chamber with a limp Rob. "Or sickbay, I don't care
which!"
'What happened?" Betty Isban questioned while checking out the
motionless body of the ensign.
"He got shot!" Frank shouted. "Any idiot could see that!"
Isban glowered at the engineer while searching for a pulse or any other
signs of life. "Well duh! And he's dead, Frank."
"Dead? What do you mean dead?"
"I mean," Isban spoke carefully, as if speaking to a mentally deficient
child, "that he isn't breathing, there's no pulse, and his blood
pressure is 0 over 0. Not to mention that he wasn't this pale when he
left with you. Need any other clues?"
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh," Isban echoed almost tiredly. "Let's get himm to the MRT
before any additional damage can happen."
"The MRT?" Frank licked his lips nervously at mention of the Mental
Retrieval Tech chamber.
"Don't tell me you've managed to screw that up, too."
"Uh, no, no it's ok."
"Then we'd better get him into the chamber before we really loose him.
Brain cells don't do well without oxygen, they tend to decay and loose
memories and other incidental functions really fast without it."
"Frank, Betty!" the captain's voice came over the intercom. "What's
going on down there?"
"Fischer's dead," Isban informed him, "and we're getting him into the
MRT for recovery."
"Well they really pissed those little shits off down there," Captain
Jeff Lewis replied. "Because the half-pints are coming up after us. I
need you on the bridge right now, Isban. Trot, you get that MRT going
then get your ass into engineering. These guys aren't even bothering to
talk, they've come out shooting."
Setting up the program that would retrieve Robin Fischer's memories and
implant them in the body matrix that had been saved inside the computer,
Frank realized there were two different programs and swore. Bringing
both up to see which was which he reached to flush out the wrong one
just as the ship lurched and shuddered with multiple hits from the
Putarian ship's weapons.
"Uh,oh," he grimaced as the wrong program got flushed and the machine
automatically began building the body contained in the other one. "Oh
shit. This is not good."
"Frank!" ewis' voice screamed through the intercom. "Get that
overactive dick and the body it runs to your damned station! We need to
get out of here and we need to do it now!"
"Aye, sir, on my way," Frank Trot responded, wondering how he was going
to explain his way out of this one, then grinning as he thought of the
fun he might be able to have because of his latest goof up.
* * * *
Hornblower got away from the fearsome, if tiny Putarians. Barely. She
arrived in orbit around another inhabited world, without power for her
drives, or communications, or much else beyond life support. The planet
Evih, home of the Kinaari apeared as a blue white marble like most other
worlds inhabited by Humanoid types. Little was known about the race,
beyond the bare facts that they were humanoid, had recently lost their
Royal Princess to pirates, and were extremely pissed off about it.
* * * *
"Give her another jolt!" screamed Captain Jeff Lewis
"I dinna think she can take anymore!" replied Engineer Frank Trot
"Knock that crap off! Get her awake!" said Lewis while smacking the
back of Frank Trot's head.
"Jim, if I push her anymore, she's gonna blow!" replied Engineer Trot
with a giggle.
"I told you to knock of that ancient Television garbage and get her
awake!" Captain Lewis ordered..
The Engineer applied another impulse to the apparently lifeless body on
the table. As the pulse charged through the body it convulsed and then
vomited. It was a projectile style of vomiting that covered a good deal
of Captain Lewis, who had been leaning over the body.
"Achhh, now you've done it. She went and blew. I warned ya," said
Engineer Frank Trot with a laughing sneer.
Holding back his own building retch reflex, Captain Jeff Lewis shook the
vomit from his hands and wiped his face clean. On the table blackness
was giving way to light. Unconsciousness was yielding to consciousness.
She spit the remains of vomit from her mouth. She inhaled deeply. The
air flowed deep into the recesses of her lungs. Somewhere in the back of
her mind the words "good to be alive" seemed to ring out.
"Robin? Robin? Lieutenant Robin Fischer, do you hear me?" said Jeff
while holding the shoulders of the previously unconscious woman.
"Yes, I hear you," replied Lieutenant Robin Fischer
"Good, what's you name? How many fingers am I holding up?" asked Jeff.
"I..I..four, four fingers...I should know my own name?" stammered
Lieutenant Robin Fischer.
"It's OK. It's to be expected. These MRT's can be very traumatic. You
should get your full memories back in a bit," said Jeff.
"What do you remember?" interrupted Engineer Frank Lewis
"Remember...oh...ouch! Wait, not too much. You..you're...you're...I
don't like you? I wonder why? Hmm, this other fellow is Captain Jeff
Lewis. He's the captain of this...this...yes, this spacecraft. We have
a...a...yea, we have a five person crew. I am the newest crewmember.
We had been on mission for what four months?" said Robin.
"Doing good, keep going girl," said Jeff.
"We were involved with negotiations with the Putarians, and got into a
...a...HEY THEY SHOT ME!" said Robin as she bolt upright.
"Obviously we got you out of there. Don't worry. Despite saying you
disliked Engineer Trot, you took a very nasty shot from and energy
weapon meant for him. That blast..well..your suit worked within
specifications and kept you alive long enough for the MRT to be
effective," said Jeff
"MRT?" said Robin while holding her head.
"Mental Retrieval Technique. It's how we got your mind out of your old
body. You had suffered too much damage for any possibility of patching
or spurred growth regeneration techniques. If it wasn't for the MRT we
would have lost you," said a smiling Jeff
"I am very happy we had the MRT available, because now I can say thanks.
Thank you Lieutenant Robin W. Fischer for saving my life," said Frank
while standing at attention and giving Lt. Fischer a salute.
Lieutenant Fischer on reflex tried to stand and return the salute while
mumbling something about "it t'wernt nothing". The sheet covering her
slipped away. It fell to the floor and Fischer grabbed the side of the
table for balance. "What the hell are these?" she cried while looking
at her chest.
Before Captain Lewis and Engineer Trot was Lieutenant Robin W. Fischer,
naked. She stood 5' 7", weighed 125 lbs, had a 40-24-38 figure with
long blond hair and deep blue eyes, with a strikingly beautiful face.
Both Jeff and Frank smiled. Frank nudged Jeff in the ribs, which broke
his fixated stare at the busty beauty's chest. "They are your breasts,
of course," said Jeff.
"But, ah, have they always been this large? I think I am out of
regulation size?" said a perplexed Robin.
"Well, ah, they, then, you see sometime the stasis chamber will cause a
not precise duplication of the original body, then well, er yes, the
standard left deviant reosate will float an open conveyance to the
thermo cline resulting in..." said Frank.
"Oh, shut-up. Yes, they are bigger than the original you," said Jeff.
About this time the automatic door to the room opened. In walked Betty
Isban. Lt. Cdr. Isban was the second in command of the ship and was the
ship's science officer. "I see the procedure is over. Why do you have
her naked? Say, Robin, how does it feel to be the newest female member
of the crew?"
Both Jeff and Frank put their eyes down and kicked at the floor. "Oh,
great! You didn't tell her? Typical! I told you I should have done
the procedure, but oh no, I am the captain, I am the mighty engineer.
Yea, big brave uys except for fessing up to the truth," said Betty while
shaking a finger at both Jeff and Frank."
"We would have told her!" whined Frank
"See here, I am the Captain and won't be talked to in this fashion,"
said Jeff trying to get out of the scolding.
"Oh, I see. You weren't going to tell her? Were you? Oop's, were you
Captain?" asked Betty.
"I was, I oh, crap, hey it was worth a try," said Jeff.
"Tell me what?" asked Robin
"Well, Rob 'ol buddy, 'ol pal and 'ol ask me for a kiss Rob. Looks like
we will be calling you by your full name of Robin from now on. Just
what sex did you think you were before the MRT?" asked Betty with a
smirk.
"That's a stupid question, of course...damn, must think...why... I
was..a... YOU BASTARDS, I WAS A GUY! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" yelled Robin
while getting very upset and staring at her new large soft parts that
began to jiggle as she protested. The three others stood in the room
slack jawed and staring at Robin. She finally realized she might as
well have been talking to the walls. She stopped her tirade and covered
herself with the sheet. "Why aren't I me? You know this violates more
regulations than I can quote!"
Jeff was the first to have his stare broken by Robin donning a covering.
"Now think. Come on Rob, think, you'll remember."
"It's kinda fuzzy, a hazing? It was a joke? Do something to the new
guy? Trot! Trot! You did this to me? I think?" said Robin in a voice
that started to fill with anger.
All in the room turned and looked at Frank. "I am not taking the only
blame for this, you were all in on it."
"Oh, no, I just advised on the skin and eyes," said Betty.
Jeff stepped forward. "Put a cork in it Isban. We were all in on it.
Yea, Robin we did this to you. But settle down. Every ship in the
fleet does this to the new guy. (Holds up a hand so Lt. Fischer can't
respond) Like I said, every ship in the fleet does this to the new guy.
The chief engineer programs the MRT body replacement system with an
outlandish routine to mess with the new guy. You bring the new guy in
and do the ship tour while going down the checklist. You take him into
the MRT holding chamber. He looks at the other four bodies of the crew
and they are per spec. Then he comes to his own body and it's, well,
fun. We all laugh. Then we flush the system and put the right program
back in. It's a rite of passage. My first body had a shlong longer
than my legs! The chief engineer's first body was a small hunchbacked
fish looking thing. Isban's was.. what was yours Isban?"
"It looked like a dog," she replied quietly.
"Oh, a bitch? I guess they read your file ahead of time? You should be
happy Robin. We could have made you a dumbass lizard, oh, excuse me,
rather a Centauran. You know their DNA is close enough for the MRT to
make a match. Anyhow, after the new guy sees his body he gets
terrified. The joke rolls on about how they can't reprogram the system
or it gets stuck or something like that. Anyhow, after you have
terrified the guy, you do an emergency flush on the joke body and reload
with the regular body. It's a great tease and very funny," said Captain
Lewis.
"Very funny. Now, where's MY body?" Lt. Fischer demanded a bit
hysterically.
"Typical male atitudes. Beat around the bush and avoid the real issue
at all costs. Look Robin, that is your body. Seems our chief Engineer
flubbed up the part about flushing and reprogramming. Didn't you
Frank?" said Betty
Both Trot and Lewis stared at the floor and kicked the bulkhead again.
"Uh..." Trot swallowed several times, as if something particularly
large, hot, and sharp edged was lodged in his throat. "Well, you see
Fischer, it was like this..."
"I don't want excuses!" Lt. Fischer moved to point an accusing finger at
the engineer, then thought better of it when she realized what that
would expose and just exactly how much those unwelcome mounds of flesh
jiggled when she did so. "What. I. Want. IS TO GET MY OWN BODY BACK!!
NOW!"
"Yes, Frank," Betty purred. "Why don't you go into the computer and
just get Robin's old body back?"
"RIGHT NOW!" Fischer screamed, causing her newly formed flesh to ripple
and jiggle in an embarrassingly enticing manner, which caused her to
blush and add a little more quietly. "And get me something to wear until
you do, could you? I feel like some damned centerfold waiting for the
cameras to start going."
"Well, it just isn't that easy," Frank grimaced while rummaging through
the garments they had made up for the new and improved (in some people's
opinion) Robin. "Here you can put these on while I try to explain."
Robin snatched the clothing from the engineer's hand, scratching his arm
with long fingernails in the process and held up the first item with a
wide-eyed amazement that was quickly growing into more anger. "What is
this thing?"
"It's a bra, dear," Isban offered helpfully.
"I KNOW what it is," Fischer sighed, holding it up to examine it. "Just
how big is this thing?"
"Only a D cup," Jeff responded consolingly. "With your height, it isn't
really that huge, Robin."
"Only??!!" Fischer grimaced. "It looks like the cups could hold dinner
for all of us...."
The men swallowed again as the impact of what she had just said sank in
on her still fuddled mind. Frank and Jeff exchanged little grins when
they thought neither of the women were looking.
"Let me help you get dressed, dear," Isban offered, reaching to help
the very confused, embarrassed, and now humiliated Robin. "While Frank
tells you what happened and why he can't retrieve your old body."
"The lace scratches," Fischer complained once the bra was snugly in
place and she was pulling up a pair of matching yellow French-cut
panties. "I'm waiting for your explanation, Frank, and it had better be
good."
"Ahh... I was just comparing your old body with the new one we'd made up
before starting your regeneration in the MRT." Trot cleared his throat
nervously. "When the Putarians took one last shot at us, the ship
jolted and went into evasive maneuvers, I clicked the wrong image for
flushing and the MRT started rebuilding you to the specs that were still
in the system. You see, flushing is much more complete than a simple
delete, it completely clears the data in the system - wipes it clean -
and this new body, the prank, was all that was left in your file..."
"So?" Fischer questioned with a little relief in her purring contralto.
"Can't you contact HQ to download my original stats from the main
files?"
"Well, that's the kicker here." Trot actually appeared more nervous
than before while finishing. "We were in contact with the Central
system when the attack occurred. We were uploading all the ships logs
and files in case we didn't get back..."
"I don't think I want to hear this," Fischer closed her lovely eyes
while running a small hand through her luxurious blonde hair. "But go
ahead and tell before I try and kill you."
"Uh... Well..."
"My original stats were flushed from every system in the service,
weren't they?"
"And from all the other systems anywhere in the federation," Trot
replied. "Now, far as every computer in existence is concerned, Lt.
Robin Fischer is the person you are now - Urrrk!"
The last, resulted from Robin, letting out a little scream of enraged
shock, leaping off the table in only panties and bra to fasten her slim
hands tightly around the chief engineer's throat while kicking at his
knees and crotch with both bare feet.
The linked pair stumbled around the Med Area while Frank's face turned a
very interesting shade of blue. Robin wasn't as strong as she had been
as a male, but rage fueled by adrenalin kept her hands tightly fastened
to the engineer's throat and tightening their grip. While squeezing
even harder and still kicking at his crotch the new girl growled, "Gonna
KILL you, you weasel, and input some interesting changes in YOUR body
files so you can have a nice surprise when YOU wake up!"
Trot's face had started to turn purple before the Captain and Second
Officer moved in to pry the pair apart. Jeff held a kicking, squirming
Fischer around the waist from behind, while Isban got some emergency
oxygen to Trot.
"Got some really nice bruises there, Frank," she commented while
watching the man's face gradually return to normal coloration. "Are
your family jewels intact?"
Trot nodded, still unable to speak in anything but strangled croaks.
"Good thing her aim was lousy, isn't it?" Jeff put in while still
restraining the struggling Robin.
"Come on," Lt. Fischer wheedled, "let me go. I won't hurt him enough to
really kill him, just make sure he sings soprano from now on. And TAKE
your hand off that!"
Jeff quickly shifted his grip downward, but not before he had gotten a
good squeeze in on a pleasantly full breast, as Robin lowered her head
to bite the offending hand. She missed, barely.
"Calm DOWN!" he shouted as Robin twisted in his grasp and nearly broke
free. "That's an ORDER Lt. Fischer!"
"I AM calm," Fischer gritted through clenched teeth. "But I'm working
my way up to a really good tantrum here. How calm would you be if this
had happened to you?"
"Promise to not try and kill Frank, if I let you go?" Jeff told her,
then added, "And to not attack any more Human crew members here. Do
that and I'll let you go."
"Aww..." Fischer drew in a deep breath that gave the Captain some very
interesting experiences since she was facing him by then, "All right.
But we have to do something to get me back to normal. Pleeeaase?"
"We'll do what we can," Isban promised with a little smirk, then added a
little contritely, "But for now, this IS normal. Just try and get used
to things as they are for a while until we can figure out what to do
next, would you?
"And put the rest of your clothes on," she finished, "before you give
the guys any more nutso ideas."
"Oh..." Robin belatedly realized that she was wearing only a very sexy
bra and panties set that were dripping in lace and blushed again.
Grabbing the short skirted, low cut uniform that was the only thing
available, she quickly pulled it on, shook her ample hips and bottom to
get it settled properly and then zipped it closed. "Is this all that I
have to wear?"
"We'll fabricate some more regulation uniforms for you, dear," Isban
promised. "But for now, that's about it. Sorry."
Patting disheveled hair back into a semblance of smoothness without
thinking about what she was doing, Robin nodded with a frown. "The
sooner the better."
"Uh..." Frank hesitantly entered the conversation. "I'll have to get
the fabricator up and going again first. It took some damage in the
fighting."
Robin favored the engineer with a gimlet stare, then closed her large
blue eyes and counted slowly to ten. Then did it again. "Just get it
fixed, Frank. I don't want to spend the rest of our voyage wearing your
copies of old vid costumes, and I WILL get you for this. Now I'm going
to my cabin to take a nap. Don't any of you even THINK of bothering me
until I come out."
"I didn't think automatic doors could slam." Jeff shook his head once
the newly made sexpot had flounced out of the Med Facility.
Robin stomped off to her room. She needed a nap. The MRT process cycle
would increase her need for sleep for the next couple of days. This was
standard. Waking up in an alien, well, different, body was not
standard. "I am going to get Frank" she kept muttering over and over.
She reviewed what she knew about MRT as she took off her "new", new?
NEW! Clothes, damn it. No, really she had to review what she!? SHE!
The MRT, she had to focus on the MRT. Screw sleeping, she needed...she
needed...she needed to sleep. Robin had gotten her outer garments off.
She was having a fight in trying to figure out how to unhook her bra.
(She hadn't taken one off from this angle before).
She had just gotten it unhooked when the Sandman knocked her
unconscious. Robin fell across her bed and into a deep sleep full of
dreams.
It was after a dinner? Hmm, didn't matter, Rob was in a vehicle with a
babe! Wow, a blond hottie with a body to make any real man scream. He
slid closer to her in the seat. She smiled and turned her face. Rob
ran his hand along her jaw and turned her face back to his. He moved
close and kissed her.
Their tongues entwined in a joyful dance of mutual passion. The kiss
continued while his hands went down her blouse and slowly unbuttoned the
front. He pulled the blouse open and her breasts were revealed over
flowing her bra. The kiss broke.
Robin heard the man say that she was beautiful. Her blouse was open.
Her breasts seemed so large. No, she didn't want the man to touch her
there. She struggled and tried to push him away. His hand was inside
her bra and cupping her breast, his head snug along her neck and
comforting whispers being made in her ear. It felt good. No, it was
wrong. No, it was good! Very good. The man's hands worked down
Robin's dress and pulled up her skirt. Robin looked down and saw her
hard throbbing erect penis point up toward the ceiling of the vehicle.
Robin SCREAMED and the dream faded.
Robin awoke in a sweat soaked bed. There was a buzz at the door. "Come
in," she said.
Through the door bounded Betty. "I heard..you look like crap?
Nightmares?"
"I dreamt I was with a girl and then I was the girl and then I was,
well, I wasn't a girl, that's for sure," panted Robin.
Betty sat beside Robin and stroked her hair while she lay on the bed.
"Honey, you are a woman remember? The MRT is known to cause some very
colorful dreams. Relax. Try and remember, I'll stay with you for a
while if you like?"
"Oh, yea," said a depressed Robin. "Yes, could you stay?"
"I'd be happy to! Say, remember when you first came on board? I
dropped some clothes and you picked up my blue teddy? You asked me to
model it," said Betty.
"Oh, yea, I do. You said, only in my dreams," said Robin.
"You must be dreaming, look!" said Betty as she stood up.
Betty's slim body was visible through the translucent blue teddy. She
had the strong athletic build of a swimmer. Long slender legs, narrow
hips, a slim waist, small breasts, a long graceful neck and a very
charming face. Her close cropped brunette hair acted to highlight her
face. The teddy seemed to glow in the slightly darkened room and gave a
bit of a halo effect to Betty.
"You look like and angel," said Robin.
Betty smirked. "Yea, it's supposed to do that. I got this on Rigel IV.
Do you like it?"
"I love it! Wow, it really highlights...hmm, nice figure," said Robin.
"Really?" Betty walked over to the bed and sat once more close to
Robin's face. "I think it chafes my nipples. Here what do you think?"
asked Betty with a smile as she raised her teddy and leaned forward over
Robin.
Betty's breasts were thrust into Robin's face. They were very nice
breasts. Much smaller than Robin's, but perfectly shaped and with large
nipples. They were erect nipples at that. Robin reached up to touch and
then quickly pulled her hand back. "I am dreaming again, this doesn't
make sense."
Betty sat on the bed and put Robin's hand on her breast. "Not dreaming.
You have been asleep for 18 hours. Our quarters are next to each other.
I was asleep when I heard you scream and I came over. You know Robin, I
find you a LOT more attractive now. You don't have to be afraid or
fight what you feel."
Robin felt the firmness of Betty's breast and then breasts. Soon both
of her hands were cupping each of Betty's breasts. Betty smiled and
pulled off Robins unhooked bra. Robin's large breasts spilled off the
sides of her chest and Betty cupped them.
"My, somebody has some really big boobies, don't they?" said Betty with
a smile on her lips.
"I guess I do. Hmm, it feels good," said Robin.
"You just lay there. Move when your body feels like it," said Betty
while leaning forward and kissing Robin.
Robin felt Betty's lips on her neck and her hands on her breasts. She
continued to hold and knead Betty's boobs as well. Betty kissed along
Robin's jaw. Soon their lips meet and their tongues touched.
Robin pushed Betty back and unconsciously spit. "Ewww, stop that!"
"What's wrong?" asked a perplexed Betty.
"Why you are a..holy shit! Oh, this is really crap. I can't believe
this shit," Robin wailed.
"WHAT?" asked Betty.
"I don't like girls! I don't like girls. What's up with that? I want,
well, wanted to bang the hell out of you. Now, now, Betty I think that
teddy makes you look hot and I'd like to borrow it. I also think you
have a killer body, but Dear, you need longer hair. ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!
The MRT can't reprogram thoughts. It can't do that!" said Robin.
Betty adjusted her teddy and sat back from Robin with an angry look on
her face. "Fine, just fine. I was good enough for you last month! You
sure as hell tried to kiss me then!"
"I know. I know! Gawd, I was so hot for you, WAS! What's wrong with
me?" cried Robin.
"Wait, you really did want me? You don't want me now? Let me think,
when they first developed the MRT there were some unscrupulous acts of
mind modification. That was unreliable at best and certainly not
allowed in the programming protocols of today, but if someone..."
They both reached a conclusion and screamed out the same name at the
same time, "FRANK!"
Still working the upsettingly unpalatable feel of a woman's kiss out of
her mouth, Robin rose and moved towards the door. "Damn him! I'll kick
the little weasel so hard he'll die in his sleep! With his balls
hanging out of his mouth!"
"Hold on there." Betty reached out to grip one of her companion's
flailing arms. "You don't have the physical strength or the moves to do
that, and would only end up in some penal colony as a convict-good-time-
girl even if you didn't manage to kill the Adelbaran Stink Rat."
"But what he did to me has to be illegal!" Robin spat back with a wide-
eyed expression of pure rage that the object of the discussion would
have found quite fetching and sexy. "I could get off on grounds of
extenuating circumstances, or insanity."
"Listen to me." Betty patted the bed once again, this time in a
sisterly manner and gave the distressed former male sexpot a firm look.
"Sit down and let's go over some options. Killing Frank is not one of
those either, no matter how much both of us would like to do it."
"Yeah." Robin got dreamy eyed and giggled as she imagined the engineer
roasting very slowly over the heat vents of his precious engines, while
turning on a spit and being basted in flammable liquid by herself. "I'm
thinking up all sorts of really neat painfully slow ways to do it, too."
"Well forget it, Robin," the second officer, in her role as confessor
and confidant, not to mention parachute for the new girl on board,
patted the bed again. "Sit down and calm down. That giggle you just let
out made my skin crawl given what I know you were thinking about."
"I didn't giggle," Robin protested, then sat on the bed with a thump as
something dawned on her. "Oh my God, I did, didn't I? I GIGGLED! And
now I'm starting to cry. What's wrong with me?"
"Hormones?" Betty offered, then regretted it as the lovely, sexy young
lady beside her began to cry and sob in great hitching gasps.
"Huh-huh-Hormones!" Robin got out between sobs and ragged intakes of
breath. "Female hormones, running rampant through my poor changed body
and getting me to do such girly things without even noticing. Pretty
soon they'll have me on my back with legs wide open inviting any male
around to... I LOVE being a girl! AAARRGH!
"No! I meant that I huh-huh... really don't want to be a man... No,
that should have come out...." Lowering her head into both hands Robin
continued to cry, though more quietly. "I can't say what I mean, and
I'm not even sure what I do mean!"
"Hormones, new hard wiring in your head, whatever it is, Frank sure
messed you up, dear." Betty gave the sobbing female next to her a
sympathetic pat on the shoulder. "We'll get back at him, and Jeff. You
know as well as I do that both of them are in on this mess. But we need
to get creative here about our revenge."
"Our revenge?"
"That's right, Robin," Betty grated in anger of her own. "I finally get
you in a shape that appeals to me, and the fuckers fixed you so you
can't have sex with me. They're going to really regret that."
"What do you mean by a shape that appeals to you?" Robin questioned with
a puzzled expression that changed into one of wide eyed comprehension.
"OH! You mean that you're a les..."
"Yes, that's what i mean, sweetie," Isban replied with a shrug.
"Nothing wrong with that, and I was hoping that maybe we could finally
get together now. But first we have to get you some help," the lesser
endowed female of the pair went on while wondering if the MRT could give
her a set like those. "Let's go see Feng."
"Feng!" Robin shook her head so hard her new hair flipped around so
hard it endangered Betty. "What could that whacked out trisexed lizard
do to help me? Besides confuse me even more. You're never sure which
sex he/she/hir is going to be from one meeting to the next! One time he
became her right in the middle of a session with me, then went on to hir
and started having sex with hirself right in front of me. Huh uh,
Betty. Things are bad enough just now, talking to Feng would only make
them worse."
"I don't think so," Betty countered with a small grin at the other's
very accurate description of the ship psyche officer. "Think about what
you just said, about the sex thing."
"What you mean Feng having sex with hirself in front of me while I was
supposed to be in for an evaluation?"
"No, before that, honey."
"Before that..." Robin's eyes narrowed, then widened as comprehension
poured into her scrambled brain. "Oh! You mean the changing sex part?"
"That's it," the other woman concurred with a nod. "Feng is also a very
capable psyche officer and should be able to tell us exactly what was
done to your mind and how it was done. Maybe even with suggestions to
reverse it."
"Whatever you say, Betty." Robin let out a long sigh that did things to
her bare chest the other had a hard time ignoring. "Let's get this over
with. At least he/she/hir ought to be able to give me pointers on self-
abuse. Those two male rats onboard sure aren't getting any from me, and
I'm so damned horny I want to hump that bedpost."
"Yes," Betty thoughtfully returned, then winced while giving the knobbed
bedpost a look and imagining what that would be like inserted in....
well, never mind, you get the idea. "You really need to have Feng look
you over."
"Well, let's hurry it up!" Robin urged, reaching to open the door
without even getting dressed. "If I attack Frank the way I'm feeling
now it might not be with homicidal intent. Know what I mean?"
"The way you are, both he and Jeff would be dead from exhaustion within
twenty-four hours, sweety," Betty held her companion back once again.
"But if you don't put something on, that's even more likely to happen
than you fear."
"Now that's a thought..." Robin trailed off with another dreamy
expression and giggle. "Fuck the suckers to death. That'd serve 'em
right, wouldn't it? Poetic justice and all that stuff."
Shaking her head while watching the giggling, moronic seeming Robin
slither into a brief skirted uniform that left most of her ample breasts
hanging free and in danger of falling out altogether, Betty closed her
eyes and fought off the beginnings of a headache. "Yep, we have got to
get you to Feng. Right now."
Feng was in the ship's galley. He had prepared a special dinner of
Rigenian Power Flies that he was going to share over candle light with
herself. There also was a bottle of exotic fermented Mushroom Juice.
He smiled inwardly (since he had no lips it had to be inwardly) that he
was going to get her drunk and take advantage of her. A chortle came
from the upper nostril as hirself remarked that not being in season the
mating would not be worth the effort. To which she joined in with a cry
that she was easy but not cheap. If he wanted to take advantage of her
then it was going to cost him. This got him mad as he reiterated to
herself that with out two other Alpha Centaur's it wasn't a real mating
anyway.
Oh, yea, himself was always trying to remind herself that these matings
didn't count. However, she was getting tired of being taken advantage
of. In these arguments hirself would switch from side to side as
hirself was truly only interested in reproduction, but did have to admit
the mating ritual was pleasant, while arguing nevertheless that this
much practice was unnecessary.
Feng had just popped open the fly canister when Betty and Robin burst
into the room. His/Her/Hir left eye rotated back in response to the
sound of the intruders coming into the galley.
"HELLO. I was trying to have a moment here. You could at least knock,"
said Feng as his/her/hir tongue snapped one of the hand-sized flies in
mid flight.
"You know very well that you are not supposed to be having 'moments' in
the galley and we have talked about you letting these damn flies go in
here. The last time we got maggots in my sourdough starter because you
got too drunk to eat all your delicacies that were left flying around
the galley!" said Betty in a huff.
"Yea, that's stuff's icky!" said Robin.
There was a clack, clack, clack sound as Feng laughed at Robin's remark.
"Icky? Icky! Boy, frank wired you up good!" laughed Feng.
"What do you know about that asshole? Hmm, yes, ass, I bet Frank has a
nice ass. ARRGGGHHH!" went Robin. She started to stare glassy eyed at
the wall and moan "Frank".
"Snap out of it!" said Betty while she shook Robin. While Robin didn't
immediately snap out of it, her bra did snap and her breasts were
promptly out of her skimpy uniform and shaking along with the rest of
her.
"Wow, those are big tits! I don't think those are regulation," said
Feng.
"Hey, give her some respect," said Betty. She had stopped shaking
Robin, but while moving to where Feng couldn't see Robin's chest, she
had not taken any steps to cover Robin's chest.
"Hmm, duh, yes, yes. Feng! What's happening to me? You're the
trisexed lizard Oooooo," Robin moaned as Feng grabbed another fly mid
air with his/her/hir tongue.
"Frank wired you up. Seems you are going to be making up for all the
time he lost with Betty," smiled Feng while pouring a glass of Mushroom
Juice.
"What do you mean he wired her up?" asked Betty while she swatted at a
fly.
"Hey, that's my dinner, hands off! The MRT, you should be bright enough
to figure that out. You are the science officer!" said Feng to Betty.
"Why'd that big beautiful hunk of a man do that to me?" asked Robin.
"Get a clue, Robin, I think we all know why," said Betty.
"Hmmm, yes, to fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, Frank's going to fuck me! I
just wanted to hear him say it. Say Frank's going to fuck me," giggled
Robin to Feng.
"Feng! She's getting worse! What do you know?" demanded Betty.
"I know my dinner is being interrupted. Why don't you take Robin there
and have her go screw Frank? You can watch and make sure she gets
inseminated; it's all very Centaurian. You have my blessing. Now GET
OUT!" said Feng.
"Oh, yes, fuck, suck, lick Frank, hmm his hands all over me! Betty too.
I think Frank would like two girls! PLEASE BETTY? PLEASE!?" pleaded
Robin.
Betty's brow furrowed. Her eyes became narrow. She reached across the
table and pulled Feng clear of his/her/hir seat and pulled him/her/hir
close. "Listen revolving eyes, Robin's not a fuck toy, let alone
Frank's fuck toy. Now, you are going to help us, Psyche Officer, or do
I have to reach down that thing you call a throat and pull you inside
out by the sorry ass thing you call a tail?"
"Always with the negative waves. Life is righteous and for all to
enjoy. Sex is a beautiful thing. Why can't you just relax and go with
the flow, baby?" responded Feng.
Betty didn't say anything. She forced open Feng's mouth and started to
reach down. Feng's tail fell off onto the floor and started wiggling.
Robin screamed and then smiled and walked toward the detached squirming
tail.
"No, no, no, I'll help you!" pleaded Feng.
Betty released her grasp on Feng and turned to see Robin smiling and
holding the wiggling tail in one hand and staring to lift her skirt with
the other. "Put that down Robin! Geeze, we are in public. Besides,
you want to see old lizard face here get his/her/hir rocks off by you
having fun with that tail?"
"Eeek," went Robin as she dropped the tail.
"Look Feng, you are the Psyche Officer, and you are three sexes. Then
on top of all this you've got some information about this and Frank.
How about a little help here? I think she's going to start humping legs
like a dog if she doesn't.....ROBIN STOP THAT!" Betty yelled.
"I didn't stick it in. Hmm, it's wiggling just right," Robin
distractedly replied while holding the tail against the crotch of her
panties.
Clack, clack, clack went Feng's laugh. The last two flies buzzed over
Robin. The smell of rotting mushrooms filled the room from Feng's open
bottle. Betty slapped Feng, grabbed the tail and threw it down a near-
by disposal chute.
"Awww," went Robin.
"More negative waves. That was mine!" said Feng while snatching one of
the two remaining flies.
"Fly breath, do I have to have to grab you again? A dropped tail
doesn't mean any more to a Centaurian than a dropped turd does to a
human. Now talk, or I grab!" said Betty.
"No, no, no, physical violence never settled anything. Well, except
made your species supreme on your own home world, then of course the
victory of good over evil on your planet, then the Earth-Centaur
alliance did destroy the invasion attempt at Orion 4, and the
subsequent.."
"Damn it Feng! Get on subject," said Betty
"You just can't sit back and soak in culture can you? You live for the
moment. I guess that's what happens with a species that can only live a
little over its own 100 years," smirked Feng.
"Yea, means we don't have time to waste when we ask a Damn question!"
said an exasperated Betty.
"Fine, wait (ZOT), hmm, those were good flies! Now, ah, yes, Robin.
You are still just one sex, is there a problem Robin?" said Feng.
"Please, can we go to Frankie-poo? I am soooo horny!" Robin squirmed
while rubbing the nipples on her exposed breasts.
"I don't think healthy sexual appetite issues are within my queue as
Psyche Officer," said Feng.
"Feng, she was going to hump your detached tail. You want me to turn on
a monitor? How'd all this look on the record?" asked Betty.
"Ah, you know Captain Lewis doesn't like the monitors turned on. He
says too close a government oversight hurts morals." Replied Feng as
he/she/hir reached for the glass of wine.
"And no government oversight appears to lead to MRT abuse and non-
cooperative Psyche Officers. Thirty seconds, Feng. Are we going to
quit dicking around on this crap or am I going to turn on EVERY monitor
on this ship? Mushroom wine my ass. How about a big picture of the
Psyche Officer of the United Star Alliance Ship Hornblower sucking down
some illegal swamp water, excuse me, Mushroom wine?"
"Slap me, beat me, scare my tail off and now blackmail me. This is a
human primary ship isn't it? No, that won't be necessary. Leave the
monitors alone. Frank..." sighed Feng.
"Frankie! Oh, Frankie! Frankie MUST FUCK ME NOW! Oh, Frankie!"
screamed Robin as she got up and ran for the galley door.
In an unbelievable demonstration of the "lizard dash" Feng made it
before Robin on her dash to the door. Feng knocked Robin down. "Do
whatever your species does to initiate an orgasmic event."
"FRANKIE, FUCKIE! FRANKIE!" screamed and wailed Robin.
"What?" said a puzzled Betty that didn't know whether to hit Feng or
help.
"I am the Psyche Officer on this ship. You must initiate an orgasmic
event in this crewmember or her mind may be lost to us. This is the one
event that an MRT cannot save us from. Initiate now, while I assist,"
Feng yelled almost breathlesly. He/she/hir then turned toward Robin and
in melodic tones whispered in her ear, "Frank is here. Don't worry
Frank is here. He is touching you. Frank desires to, er, Frank loves
you. Frank wants this first time to be special for you..." Feng talked
on and on about the love making that would occur.
"Ohhhh, Frankie! Robin loves Frankie, touch me more..." Robin cooed
back to Feng.
While this was taking place, Betty was acting out Feng's words. She
kissed Robin deeply on the lips. Their tongues danced a merry dance.
She caressed Robin's breasts. Her hands rubbed all over Robin and
tenderly brought Robin to an ear splitting orgasm as Robin called out
Frank's name. It was the most non-sexual sexual experience Betty ever
had.
A panting Robin fell into a deep sleep after her climax.
"She's stable, let's get her back to her room," said Feng.
"What the hell was that? Why are you now so cooperative?" asked a
perplexed Betty.
"Simple enough, the crew member in question was in extreme danger.
Until that situation is resolved Hir will command my mental faculties.
He thought this was a human game of some kind. We have a lot of games
on Alpha Centaur. She thought it might be a game as well. However it
became clear that Crewmember Fischer was having a MRT fixation lock. It
also was clear that the Science Officer was concerned about this
crewmember's health. It would be wrong to allow him to be in charge in
a situation devoid of the humor him is compelled to inject. It is now
clear that hir/she/he has been taken advantage of by Engineer Trot. This
has resulted in damage to a fellow shipmate. For that hir/she and
especially he express our deepest apologies," said Feng with as sorry a
look as a lizard could express.
They got Robin to her room and got her into bed. They then went next
door to Betty's cabin to talk.
"MRT fixations were the reason that mind modifications were abandoned
long ago. Engineer Trot had asked my assistance in formulation of a
gender specific brain matrix for Lt. Fischer. I did not know that he
planned a mental re-alignment. He assured hir/she/he that crew member
Fischer would only be modified in a safe way and in a manner requested
by Lt. Fischer"
"Wait, this was all a joke! We built Robin's body as a joke! It was
supposed to be flushed," said Betty.
"Engineer trot said that Lt. Fischer would only have an MRT as the
result of massive body trauma per the USA regulations, but he went on to
say that crew member Fischer had requested a gender realignment in case
of MRT implementation. He even showed ir/she/he letters that Fischer
had written requesting such a procedure," said Feng
"Wait, we were ALL in on the joke. You helped design her butt!" said
Betty.
"True, I wanted her to have a tail, if you will recall. It was in a
secondary discussion I had with Engineer Trot where he brought the
gender re-alignment to my attention. While it is unusual, we often have
gender re-alignments on Centaur. There are some among us that can't
tolerate being tri-sexual and for those, only one of our three will they
be," said Feng.
"You mean there are some boy and girl only lizards?" asked Betty.
"We are Centaurians. Quit calling us lizards! Yes, and some of us are
only Hir as well. So, when Engineer Trot said that Lt. Fischer had a
desire for re-alignment I viewed it as unusual but not strange," said
Feng.
"Wait, Robin asked to be a girl? This doesn't seem right. Why would
she be so pissed about it? You got letters? Let's have a look at those
letters," Betty Demanded.
"They were downloaded from the interspace web. For professional reasons
they are no longer maintained in the database on board," said Feng.
"Oh, yea, huh, sure, that's not going to wash Feng," said Betty.
"I was lonely! I wanted another girl to talk too! You are always so
distant and never can talk about pretty things with me," said Feng in a
sudden pout.
"Oh, great. Now I have HER to talk to. I guess Robin is out of danger.
That's a relief. But, just between us girls, did you change Robin all
by yourself?" asked Betty in a quiet voice.
"Oh, no. Engineer Trot was all ready to flush out the body. That's
when I thought of it. Just leave her as her. Then I'd have another
female on board. That would make it even. But, you know what?" Feng
questioned.
"What?"
"I really didn't do any changes to her mind. I would never really hurt
somebody. That Engineer Trot must be the person that tried programming
her brain. I wouldn't do that! You have got to believe me!" pleaded
Feng.
"Settle down. I do believe you. The question is, how can we unprogram
her brain?" asked Betty.
"Well, she's stuck as a she. At this point, even when we re-load the
MRT on her, it will be against this current form. I am not sure why she
seems fixated on Frank. Trot must have found some old time programming
information I am unaware of. But you and I helped to break some
programming a few minutes ago. All you really have to do is grant
instant gratification of the fixation and with time the fixations go
away," said Feng.
"She's fixated on fucking Frank! You mean we should tell her go fuck
Frank for the next...how long does she have to fuck him?" asked Betty
with anger creeping into her voice.
"Oh, hon, settle down. It's not that bad. There are worse things in
life than enjoying sex! But I never said she had to 'fuck' Frank. I
don't think it needs to be Frank, but she does need to have some kind of
sexual release when these urges overtake her. If she doesn't, then she
will literally become a human that thinks and acts sex 100% of the time.
It would be like she's a female Frank," Feng giggled.
Betty couldn't help herself and giggled along with her/him/hir.
* * * *
"Omigod, omigod, omigod..."
"Stop it Robin!" Betty grabbed the young woman by the shoulders and
began to gently shake them to get her attention. The shaking grew in
intensity proportionately with the strangled horrified moans coming out
of the converted male's luscious mouth. "Now get hold of yourself and
try to think of something beyond how disgusted 'poor little you' is over
what that nasty minded engineer did to you."
"But..." Robin screwed up her face and the tears started flowing. She
was, at least, beginning to think halfway rationally again. "That
BASTARD has turned me into his own personal fuck toy! How can you
expect me to think in anything like clarity when I either want to trip
him and meet him on the floor, or trip him and shove the jerk out the
airlock!"
"There has to be some middle ground you can take." The second officer
was beginning to sound a little desperate herself. "I'm trying to help
you save what shreds of sanity you have left right now, and you going
into a raging panic/mortification fugue every time we talk about this
isn't helping either one of us."
"Oh, I have a middle ground, all right," Robin grumbled darkly while
smoothing her blonde mane after the mussing it had received from her
near hysterics and the shaking administered by Betty. "I want to kill
him while I'm fucking him! How's that?"
"I can see that this is going to take a lot of work," the senior officer
muttered under her breath, then replied more loudly, "Well you really
can't do either, missy. We've already been over the killing thing, and
fucking the asshole will only make your condition that much worse. We
have to get that programming out of your head, and the only way Feng
thinks will work is to keep you away from Frank, and give you instant
gratification whenever the urges hit. So call me whenever, or call
Feng, or put out to Jeff if nothing else will work. Just DON'T give in
to Frank. Got it?"
"Frank!" the anger faded from Robin's large blue eyes and they became
almost vacant except for the lust shining out of them as she turned
towards the door with an exaggeratedly sexual walk. "Frankieeeee, my
Frankieeee, I neeeeed yooouuu."
"Not again, not already!" Betty sighed, then tackled the unfortunate
girl before the door could open.
* * * *
"You (gulp) look tired (gulp)," Feng commented between snagging his
favorite flies when Betty dragged herself into his office.
The human glared at her/hir/him for a moment before sinking gratefully
into a nearby couch made for her own species. Last time she had come,
Betty had chosen the wrong chair and gotten her left leg caught in the
slot made to accommodate the Centauran's tail, much to the reptilian
psyche officer's hissed amusement.
"Tired doesn't cover half of it," she responded wearily, then her voice
rose in something like awed disbelief. "Do you have any idea of how
many times I've had sex with that nymphomaniac bimbo Robin turns into
when the 'Frankieee' urge attacks her? And I have bruises on my bruises
from tackling the poor thing to keep her away from the shithead."
"Let me see," her mused while opening a file and reading the eye
wrenching squiggles Centaurans called civilized script. "Twenty-seven
in the past three ship days. You are doing a fine job, Chief Science
Officer Isban. At this rate we should have the obsession for Engineer
Trott completely eradicated from Robin within another twenty days or
so."
"YOU IDIOT!" Isban shouted loudly enough to disturb the nearly somnolent
snacks Feng had spread over his desktop, then lost energy and finished
in a more normal pleading tone of voice, "As much as I do enjoy the sex
play with her, I won't survive another TWO days at this rate, you scaly
fiend. Twenty, and I'll be a sucked dry husk."
"Hmm...." Feng thoughtfully perused more of the file he had opened, or
possibly another, Isban couldn't tell the difference at her best and
just then was definitely not one of those times. "Would you please
catch that fly and hand it to me?"
"Sure, here you go..." Betty made a face as she complied without really
thinking about what she was doing. "Ack! Take the damned slimy thing,
it's trying to give me warts, or something. Ouch! The little sucker
BIT me!"
"Yes it did," the Centauran answered in satisfaction, then one of its
personalities giggled. If you could call a series of hitching hisses a
giggle. "You should be starting to feel better any moment now."
"Hey, I do, kind of." Isban began to lose the grayness of exhaustion as
she stared at her now empty hand and hesitantly asked, "What the hell
did that thing do to me?"
"It was a concentrated dose of vitamins, a stimulant, and..."
Her/Hir/Him cleared its throat then finished quickly, "...a sexual
booster to help you get through helping Robin."
"From a nasty Henrengian bore fly?"
"A nasty Herengian bore fly specifically tailored to human genetics to
provide the assistance you require," Feng grinned, showing a very
daunting array of teeth and the tip of his/hir/her triple pronged
tongue. "And to keep on giving it for the next twenty-one day cycle."
"Oh." The human nodded, then gave her companion a look that could have
cut durasteel plate. "Feng, did you just give me an aphrodisiac?"
"Among other things," Her/Hir/Him agreed with another of those unnerving
smiles. "In a word, yes."
"I'd mutiny and lock all of you crazy bastards up," she returned in a
soft dangerous tone of voice. "If I could figure out a way to operate
the ship by myself."
"Extreme," Feng commented with a vaguely human looking shrug, "but
workable with the Emergency Operations Systems."
"Thanks, I was including you in that group of whackos, you know."
"I had sensed the muted hostility."
"But the EOS is what got us into this mess in the first place, thanks to
Frank Trott and his meddling. There's no telling what that ditzed out
system would do if I brought it back on line again. Probably change all
of us in our sleep."
"Now you are thinking like a Centauran," he/hir/she approved. "While
your mind is experiencing such unusual clarity, take this and give it to
Robin."
"What is it?" Isban suspiciously narrowed her eyes without accepting
the cube held out in the Psyche Officer's three-fingered claw-hand.
"Operating specifications and training manuals for operation and
programming of the standard MRT unit. With some very illegal code
modifications included. I got it from Frank Trott yesterday."
"From Frank?" Betty allowed her disbelief to show for a moment, then
took in a deep breath before questioning. "Would you be willing to tell
me how you managed that? I've been trying to locate that damned file
since Robin came out of the MRT."
"Simple," she, Betty was sure it was the she part, giggled again, while
gesturing to the somnolently buzzing cadre of Herengian bore flies. "I
went to Frank's quarters and used a bit of hypnosis, with the help of
one of my little friends here. He was under the misapprehension that I
was Robin for some reason. I don't need to go on, do I?"
"You didn't." Isban gave the Centauran a half disgusted, half admiring
look. "And if you did, do you have it recorded?"
"I did, and I do," she/hir/he answered smugly. "Frank is very...
energetic. I copied the information while he was sleeping it all off,
and retain the holo of our - umm, activities - for future need."
"Blackmail, you mean," the human chuckled. "Feng, are all Centaurans
sneaky and underhanded as you?"
"Only those of us allowed off planet by our government."
"I'll have to remember that."
"Go ahead," hir/he/she grinned again, waving a three fingered hand
expansively. "It won't do you any good, though."
* * * *
"Frank is here, baby," Betty cooed into Robin's ear as she industriously
stroked the other's admittedly awe inspiring breasts with one hand while
the other played furiously with the tiny nub at her crotch that had
replaced the former man's penis. "Just lie back and let good old
Frankie give you what you need darling."
"Ohhhh, Frainkieeee..." the other moaned, then her eyes popped wide
open. "You're not Frank!"
"Nope," Betty grinned as she pulled back in some relief. Even with the
deviously given Centauran aid, steering Robin away from Frank and giving
the induced nympho enough satisfaction to keep her from stalking the
companionways in search of the jerk had been a job.
"Well, don't stop yet," the statuesque blonde pleaded. "I still feel a
'Frankie Fuckee' attack coming on."
"I thought you didn't like girls."
"Hey, a girl can change her mind, can't she?"
"Supposed to be one of the prerogatives of the sex," Betty responded
with a sore tongue and chapped lips. "But you sure have changed your
mind sweetie. Maybe you should go give Jeff a thrill."
"He's getting tired, too."
"Now why didn't that occur to me?" Isban sighed as she lowered her head
to her partner's crotch. "Feng has GOT to do something about this
nympho thing you have. None of us but him/hir/her, and Frank are
getting any work done."
"I get bored."
"So take up smoking, or find a hobby that doesn't involve bed oriented
gymnastics," the Chief Science Officer almost begged.
"But sex in this body is sooo much fun," Robin cooed, then pouted. "And
it feels wonderful."
"This is the person who was terrified of having sex with anyone at all
just a week ago," Isban grumped, then gave her partner a conspirational
wink and grin. "But I think I have something you might enjoy almost as
much."
"Oh, goodie!" Robin clapped her dainty hands like a small child promised
a surprise if she behaved.
"Here you go," Betty handed her a data cube.
"What is this?"
"A data cube."
"I can see that," giving the unlabeled cube a very close inspection, the
blonde muttered. "Just 'cause I have sex on the mind - through no fault
of my own - everyone thinks I've lost over half my brain. I haven't,
you know."
"I know, baby," Isban soothed. "When the nasty urges hit they just
short circuit your poor brain, that's the way you were programmed in the
MRT, thanks to someone I won't name just now."
"Then please quit treating me like a complete idiot," the other
answered. "I know what's happening to me, there's just nothing I can do
about stopping it."
"This may help," pointing to the cube Betty gave a nasty grin. "The
programming is starting to fade, thanks to a lot of behind the scenes
help from Feng, but what's in there won't cure you. But it will give
you something besides sex to focus on."
"What would that be?"
"Revenge," the senior of the pair supplied. "The operations and
training manual for the MRT are in there, plus some interesting
additions that Frank added for your benefit - or his, I ought to say. I
thought you might just have some fun learning how to do things with the
machine that most folks can't."
"With the added plus of doing something interesting to dear Frankie,"
Robin giggled in anticipation while a positively evil gleam shone from
her lovely eyes. "I really think I could forego sex for that.
"Well, most of the time," she amended with a twinkle of mischief in her
eyes.
"Oh, thank you, God," Betty whispered.
But the remade Robin wasn't out of the figurative woods yet. Frank was
readying himself to force an issue he had been sure would be easy as
falling off a slippery log when he had set up the new body and emotional
matrices for their newest crew member.
It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the MRT, but it was a
rocket scientist that had been operating it. Frank had made some
changes to the basic configuration and operating parameters of the MRT.
Betty, Feng and Robin had come up with a scheme to give Frank exactly
what he had earned by now. Indeed Frank's interface with the MRT was
sufficiently complicated that of the three of them only Betty, as the
Science Officer, would have sufficient expertise to execute their plan.
This was complicated by the MRT input panel being located in the engine
room. It was virtually sat on by Frank twenty four hours a day.
"There's no other choice I can see, we need a diversion," Betty
grumbled.
"That's simple enough; it's me," said Robin.
"Feng, what if, well, if she..." said Betty.
"What happens if I do fuck that wonderful Frankieeeee?" squealed Robin.
"Oh, Hon, I thought we had you under control," responded Feng.
"Just kidding. You two need to lighten up," said Robin while sticking
out her tongue.
"Oh, funny, ha, ha, human humor, is to laugh. Chances are at this
point, provided you aren't, shall we say, occupied with him for hours at
a time, it'd be survivable," said Feng.
"Survivable? Oh, some diversion, you just fuck him?" asked Betty.
Robin closed her eyes and held on tight to the bulkhead next to her. A
soft moan escaped her lips.
"Oh, great, there's a plan. We could have just done that to start with.
Survivable? I don't think she could ever stop! Feng?" asked Betty.
"I said survivable, not advisable. While she could copulate and
mentally survive somebody will need to break it up. If they don't Frank
gets... er... yes, that's the word... Frank get's his own personal fuck
toy. At this point she'd just keep more of her mind instead of losing
all of it," said Feng
"What if instead of a straight lay, she makes him think he can get laid
instead?" asked Betty.
"Without contact, no, no there would be no ramifications on her mental
faculties," said Feng.
"What do you mean?" asked Robin.
"Come here, so you don't cum there and I'll tell you," said Betty in a
low conspirational voice.
Frank was busy trying to restore engine power. The ship had been adrift
since the initial confrontation with the Putarians, fortunately it had
been captured by the gravity of Evih and wasn't simply drifting in
space. Unfortunately Evih was a colony of the Kinarri and they didn't
like visitors. Besides being stuck in orbit there was major damage ship
wide. Frank was concentrating on getting main power back on line while
the other crewmembers were working on various systems. This had been
the primary reason that Frank hadn't been able to score with Robin.
Well, that and the fact that Captain Lewis was a bit upset about the
whole situation and had ordered him to stay away from her. But Frank
knew he had a failsafe backup. Scoring with his self-designed dream
girl was only a matter of time. He wouldn't let that weasel of a
captain, dyke of a first officer or that lizard breath Psyche Officer
stand in his way. But, for right now, getting main power back online
was the priority. Sex would be a lot of fun with Robin, but surviving
would be a bit more important.
Without getting some main power back soon they'd drift into the planet's
atmosphere and burn up. True, they had two months before that would
happen and the backup power would easily last that long, but they were
on their own. Without a functional communication array they couldn't
even call for help. Their old-fashioned radio distress beacon would
take 15 years to reach the nearest U
