Star Light

"Computer begin recording... Personal log stardate 52965.1. Hello my
name is... or was Lieutenant Commander Jason O'Shay, I was born and
raised in Dublin Ireland. The son of a shuttle mechanic. I was short at
5' 5", always the kid everyone picked on. Stereotypical Irish boy, red
hair and fair skin. The bullying got so bad that mother enrolled me into
some self-defense courses, got pretty good at it if I say so myself.
Though I worked out, I never got much taller than 5' 5". I was the chief
engineer aboard the U.S.S. Ulysses, an old Ambassador class, assigned to
patrol the hind end of space. But I would put this old girl up against
those newer ships any day of the week...sorry just showing my engineer's
pride. Back to my story. I used to serve with my ex-girl friend, though
we never let our old feelings show while we where on duty. She was an
Ensign in engineering one of the best I have ever served with. I still
loved her, it killed me when she said it wouldn't work out.
Her name was Ensign Amy Sorensen, she was very beautiful. She had long
silver hair, but she was only twenty-three. Her body was incredible,
long legs that just wouldn't quit. She had hips, that while wide and
child bearing, weren't too wide. she had a skinny waist, and 34C
breasts. She had this cute little birthmark over her left breast, that
was the shape of a heart. I thought it was rather sexy. Her eyes where
so blue, one could loose themself in them and spend eternity there dying
happy.
Our Captain was a very kind man, never asking too much or too little.
His name is Captain David Amerman. He's been in command for 12 years. He
always had a ready smile, 60 years old and still acting like a man half
his age. He was a husky man, damn good poker player. I was told he had a
wife and daughter that went missing when those outposts along the
natural zone disappeared. He never let it show on his face, but I think
he missed them. He was 6'1", grey hair, green eyes and a fiery temper.
He doesn't know this, but I think of him like the father I never had. My
father died when I was two, so I never knew him.
The first officer, Laura Windsong, was a rather prissy bitch... I guess
she was insecure about losing her position as the second in command. She
has a cute body, rather athletic but nothing like Amy's. We where rather
close as ship mates go. I considered this my second family, we have been
through hell and survived. Our ship's councilor, a handsome Betazoid,
was named Thomas Jensen. He had those eyes that could bore into your
soul, I think that's a trait that all Betazoids have. His hair was as
black as a raven's wing. He is built like a brick house, but not to big
to be intimidating. He was tall at 6' 5", some of our female crew where
drawn to him almost like he was bit of meat in a sea of hungry sharks.
We where on patrol in sector 5 near the Tholian border, charting gaseous
anomalies, when a High Priority message came in from starfleet command.
At the time we were all curious as to its content, but it was labeled
Captain's eyes only. I was on the bridge running routine maintenance
when the Captain called an emergency staff meeting. Naturally I was
included, seeing as I was the Chief Engineer. Every one was there,
science office Shezrin, our chief of security Mark Hansen, and our
operations officer Heather Alison. Captain Amerman seemed to be... angry
didn't seem to be the right word, spitting mad was.
"Starfleet has managed to track down this man," the Captain said,
tapping a few commands into the control console, and a picture of the
man every member in the federation hated appeared. I swear I could feel
the temperature in the room drop by several degrees. "Trevor Jade. This
man is charged with selling secrets to the Dominion." Mark's mood seemed
to change, if that were possible. His attitude was like someone shoved a
burr up his ass. He was not very tolerant of other races, and points of
view. He would have made those Nazis, I saw in the archives, proud. He
was 6', blond haired blue eyed, and white as snow. He may have been a
racist in every sense of the word, but he was a damn good security
officer. He seemed eager to get this guy.
"I assumed they are going to send out another ship?"
The Captain shook his head. "None within range. Starfleet wants this man
caught before he can escape again. This is where we come in. Starfleet
has given us carte blanche to use any means to catch this guy. They
believe he is hold up here."
The Captain tapped a couple more commands into the consol. The image of
a rather unimpressive asteroid took up the fore ground on the screen.
"This may look like an ordinary asteroid, but looks can be deceiving. It
is actually an old Federation Listening post, it hasn't been used in
about 90 years. It was mostly used to monitor the boarder between the
Federation and the Tholian empire, but then it was decided to abandon
the station. She's been abandon ever since."
"Why does Starfleet think he's here?" said Heather. She was a shy little
thing. Long mousy brown hair, short at 5'2", she was small in every
detail, though she seemed to hide an inner beauty.
"Jade used to work as an agent for Starfleet Inelegance. Before he
turned he petitioned the Federation to reactivate these old bases. They
thought it was a waste of resources and scrapped the idea. Jade was not
overly thrilled about the outcome stating that it was a waste of a
useful technology. Two weeks ago an unmanned probe was sent out this was
looking for dilithium and other valuable resources. It uncovered this,"
said the Captain tapping a few more times, an image appeared of the face
of the asteroid.
"I don't see anything, sir."
"Look closer."
The picture zoomed into a crater.
"Is that?" Heather asked.
The Captain nodded. The nacelle was sticking out of the shadows from the
crater wall.
"They've identified it as the shuttle that jade stole."
The picture changed to the image of a cross section of the asteroid
appeared showing the interior.
"Now I believe a stealthy approach should be in order, this is where you
come in Jason."
I was shocked that the Captain had singled me out. "Me, sir?" I blurted.
"Yes. I remember in your record you studied cloaking devices at the
academy, correct?"
I nodded. "Yes, sir. But what good... OH! You want me to build a
cloaking device?"
"That's right."
"But sir, to build and equip the Ulysses, the power requirements alone
would require us to reroute a power for several systems. I could do it
though," I sputtered.
"I don't want you to equip the Ulysses. I want you to build one for
runabout three. I want you to command this mission."
Mark seemed to be upset about this. "Sir, shouldn't I be in command of
the mission?"
Amerman turned to Mark, though he didn't seem surprised by this
objection. "Do you know anything about cloaking devices, Lieutenant?"
"Well... no sir. But isn't this reason I was assigned here?"
"Yes, it is, but I need Commander O'Shay in charge on this mission. You
will still be in charge of the capture of Jade." The Captain turned his
attention back to me. "Well Commander, can you do it?"
I nodded. "Yes sir, but I am going to need Ensign Sorensen's help."
"Any particular reason?"
"She is the best engineer and pilot I have ever served with, sir. If the
cloak should fail, I would need to think fast. She also has a good
understanding of cloaking technology. If I am incapacitated she would
understand enough to get the team out safely."
Captain Amerman thought it over for a couple minutes. "All right
Commander. How long until you could have the runabout ready?"
I considered the variables... "Well... the sensors on those old outposts
are old enough that the cloak doesn't need to be perfect..." I did the
math quickly in my head. "One day to build it, four hours to install it
properly," I said.
"You have sixteen hours. You will launch in seventeen hours, the Ulysses
will standby just outside the sensor range of the listening post. Mind
you Commander it will take us ten minutes to reach you, if we have to
beam you out. So try not to get into too much trouble."
I had to smile, could the old man read me so well? How did he know I
always double my figures when I was working? The meeting was dismissed
and I go right to work.
"O'shay to Ensign Sorensen," I said tapping my comm badge.
"Go ahead," came a sleepy reply.
"Did I wake you Amy?"
"As a matter of fact, you did. What can I do for you Jason?
"I need you to meet me in the workshop?"
"Sure, what's up?"
"I'll tell you when you get here." I closed the channel and ran to my
quarters to get my notes I took in the academy. "Never thought I would
have to use these," I muttered. After skimming through them, I headed
off to engineering. When I got there Amy was waiting.
"What took you?" she said with a big smile on her face.
"What? I thought it would have taken you longer. Do you sleep in your
uniform?"
She giggled, god I loved that giggle. "Nope, I just know how to dress
quickly. So what was so important that you had to get me out of bed?"
I told her everything that the Captain told us. "So you want me to co-
pilot?" I nodded. "Shall we get to work?" I asked. She nodded and gave
me a wink.
It took us fourteen hours to finish. When we finished Amy turned to me.
"Still trying to impress the old man, I see."
"Am I that transparent?" I chuckled. She just rolled her eyes and
boarded the runabout, we ran through a pre-flight check and ran tests on
the cloak. Satisfied we shut everything down and headed out of the
shuttle bay.
"O'Shay to Captain Amerman."
"This is the Captain."
"Sir, we've finished with the upgrade to runabout three."
"Two hours ahead of schedule. Good work Commander, we'll be at the drop
zone in four hours. Get some rest both of you and be ready to head out
then."
"Aye sir," I replied.
"Want to get something to eat?" Amy asked.
"Sure."
We headed to the team room. We sat and talked for about a half hour,
finally I could suppress a yawn no longer. Amy smiled.
"Go get some sleep, Jason. I'll see you in a couple hours."
I nodded and kissed her cheek.
"What was that for?" she asked.
"Just thanking you." I then left for my quarters and sleep.
Three hours later, I found myself back in the shuttle bay running
through the pre-flight check. Mark was briefing his squad, Amy was
rechecking the cloaking device. I heard the hiss of the shuttle bay
doors open, looking up I saw Captain Amerman coming towards the
runabout. I headed for the hatch.
"Captain. Anything I can do for you?" I said, failing to hide the
surprise in my voice.
"Just coming down to wish you luck."
I smiled. "Thank you, Captain." I turned and boarded the runabout. "All
aboard." I called out and waited for the ship to load. Once we where
fully loaded Amy sealed the hatch. I then powered up the engines.
"Runabout 3 to bridge, permission to take off?" I said hitting the ship
to ship comm.
"This is the Captain, permission granted. Good hunting Commander."
I smiled. "Thank you, Captain. We'll try and bring back a present."
"See that you do. Ulysses out."
I closed the channel and activated the thrusters. Once we cleared the
shuttle bay doors, I banked the shuttle to starboard, accelerated to
full impulse.
"Ok let's engage the cloak," I said.
"Engaging cloak in 5...4...3...2...1," Amy counted.
The lights in the cockpit of the runabout dimmed, the runabout shuddered
as the power was rerouted.
"Cloak is stable, no anomalies detected. Looks like we did it," Amy
commented.
We entered the asteroid field. I slowed the runabout down to 3/4
impulse.
"Going a little fast aren't you?" Amy asked.
I grinned. "Nope. I used to do this at full impulse, when I was back
fixing shuttles in Dublin." I rolled the shuttle a couple times.
"Show off," Amy muttered. "We're entering sensor range of the asteroid
now. If the systems are still as old as you think, they shouldn't detect
us."
I nodded and stopped the showing off. I started using the passive
sensors to monitor our target. I noted an odd energy reading. "Well if
someone is there, they've modified it. I am getting an odd reading from
the power plant," I noted.
"Two kilometers from the target," Amy commented.
"Slowing to half impulse," I commented. The asteroid loomed dark and
foreboding in the front view port of the runabout.
"I see something," Amy called "It looks like the shuttle bay."
I shook my head. "We're going to have to beam in. If we try to land in
the bay they'll know we're there. I studied those old outposts, they
don't have intruder sensors."
Amy nodded.
"Hey are we there yet?" came Mark's call from the aft compartment. Me
and Amy looked behind us to see Mark standing in the hatch way.
"Almost, prepare for transport."
I brought the runabout into orbit around the asteroid. I stood up and
approached the transporter, punching in a couple commands I looked to
Mark. "What do you suggest?"
Mark pulled up a diagram of the listening post schematics. "We beam in
teams of two, we'll start on the perimeter and work our way to the
core."
I nodded. "Sounds like a good plan," I commented.
"You and Amy will take this area here," Mark said pointing to an area in
the northern hemisphere of the station.
I nodded, as Mark handed out the assignments.
"Ok folks I am programming the coordinates into the transporter.
Normally we can't transport while the cloak is engaged. But I have
modified this one to allow it. Unfortunately we have to cut power to all
systems except transporters and cloaking."
"So we wont be able to beam back if we need a quick escape?" Mark asked.
I shook my head. "We'll be able to beam back, atmosphere would still be
maintained and communications will continue to work."
Mark nodded. "Good to know we'll have a means of escape, should the need
arise."
I waited for the others to step into the transporter alcove, before
drawing my phaser and joining them. "Computer... energize," I commanded.
The transporter came to life and a few seconds later, Amy and I found
ourselves in a dark corridor. I tapped my combadge. "O'Shay to all
teams. Radio silence will be observed. O'Shay out." I turned to Amy.
"Let's go." We started down the corridor, keeping an eye out for any
one.
We hadn't searched for more than ten minutes when we came upon a man
carrying what looked like an old fashioned phaser. I snuck up behind him
and poked his shoulder. When he turned around, the surprise on his face
was classic. I said, "Hi," then punched him, knocking him cold. "Guess
those self-defense courses paid off," I muttered.
Amy came up to the man and disarmed him. "Wow, he had a glass jaw..."
she commented.
"Not quite," I muttered, shaking my hand. "Let's wake him and find out
where our boy is."
I slapped him a couple times, when he started to come to I trained my
phaser on him. When he saw my phaser he didn't struggle. "Where's Trevor
Jade?" I asked.
He looked rather angry, "Section one, command level."
"Thanks," I said, then I stunned him.
Amy sighed. "Section one, where is that?"
I shrugged. "Let's check this console, see if we can't find a map."
I walked over to the console and attempted to pull up a map. After two
failed attempts I found a map. "Here it is. Two levels up," I said
pointing to the area on the map. We slowly made our way to the ladder,
seeing as these old bases didn't have lifts.
It took another two hours to make our way to the command section. We ran
into another four patrols. Each one had to be dealt with, we stunned
each one. When we finally made it to the command level we heard a voice
coming from inside.
"Patrol one, come in... Repeat patrol one, come in. Patrol two, come
in... someone answer me damn it!"
It was Jade.
I nodded to Amy and we stepped out onto the command level. Trevor had
his back to us.
"I'm afraid they won't be answering Jade," I said leveling my phaser at
him.
He spun around and leveled one of those old phasers at us. "I see the
lap dogs of the federation finally caught up with me," he said.
"Lower your weapon, Jade. There needn't be blood shed," Amy said.
"Oh, on the contrary. I have no intention of leaving witnesses," he
said, turning his phaser to Amy, he pulled the trigger. A bright green
bream leapt forth from the barrel of his weapon, hitting Amy in the
chest. I aimed and fired...and missed. He turned his weapon on me and
fired.
I felt intense pain when the beam struck me, but I was still alive. I
crumbled to the deck, I couldn't move my legs. Jade appeared in my field
of view.
"I thought you were going to kill me," I said, the pain was getting
worse.
"Oh you'll die, just not right now," he gloated. "That beam doesn't kill
right away, it breaks down your DNA slowly and painfully. Rather nasty
weapon if I say so my self. In about ten hours of excruciating pain
you'll turn into a puddle of amino acids and peptides. Though you won't
have to wait that long." He walked away, but I still heard him. "I've
set the self destruct to go off in ten minutes. I think that should be
just long enough for you."
I was barley able to speak through the pain. "I swear, Jade, I will kill
you with my bare hands," I said through gritted teeth.
He walked back into my vision. "Ha. Such optimism, you'll be dead and
the federation will never catch me." With that he tapped something on
his wrist and vanished in the field of transporter effect.
"Damn," I muttered. I found I could still use my arms. I activated the
emergency transponder embedded in my hand. Captain Amerman had asked me
to report to sickbay half an hour before our mission was set to leave.
When I got there he informed me that every person sent to catch Jade
never came back alive. He asked Doctor T'Mel, a rather attractive
Vulcan, to give me a subcutaneous transponder.
I rolled over onto my belly and hauled myself to Amy. "Amy, Amy wake
up." I nudged her shoulder, she moaned.
"I... I guess... that didn't work out well," she said weakly.
I chuckled, wincing in pain. "No it didn't. Oh Amy I'm so sorry. I
should never have gotten you involved in this."
"Don't be Jason, we knew the risks when we joined starfleet. I never
told you this, Jason, but I still love you."
I smiled. "My feelings have never changed, Amy."
"Self-destruct will initiate in nine minutes thirty seconds," came the
voice of the computer.
"Well that's a mood killer," Amy muttered.
I chuckled again and wincing in pain again. "That it is..." I said. Amy
coughed in pain and moaned. "I guess you heard what Jade said?" I asked.
She nodded. "I don't want to die in this place, Jason."
I shook my head. "We won't."
"How do you know? It would take the Ulysses ten minutes to get here, and
we only have-"
"Self-destruct will initiate in nine minutes," came that damned voice of
the computer, cutting off Amy.
I held up my hand. "We should be fine. Captain Amerman asked me to carry
an emergency transponder in my hand. It's going to be close but we
should be able to get out. And Doctor T'Mel should be able to reverse
the effects of that weapon."
We spent the next eight minutes keeping each other conscious. But at the
time passed I noticed that the numbness was creping up my spine. The
pain was becoming unbearable, I felt like I was swimming trying to
maintain consciousness. 'Stay awake Jason, you need to catch that son of
a bitch,' I thought.
"Self-destruct will initiate in thirty seconds."
"Guess they're not going to make it, huh?" Amy said.
I shook my head. "The Captain said it would take ten minutes for them to
get here. Knowing him, he's probably driving Ulysses as fast as she'll
go," I said.
"I hope so," Amy said sleepily.
I tried to reach out and shake Amy, but my arm wouldn't work. "Amy, Amy
stay with me." No response, she wasn't breathing. "AMY WAKE UP!
...Please." My heart was up in my throat. "Damn it David hurry up. I'm
losing her..." Tears where falling from my eyes.
"Self-destruct will initiate in ten... nine...eight...seven...six..."
"I guess you're not going to make it, Dave. I'm sorry..." I said, I
closed my eyes ready to meet my father again.
"Four...three...two..."
Suddenly I heard the hum of a transporter, as I felt the heat of a fire
ball. 'It's too late, Dave, but thank you anyway.' Then oblivion came, I
didn't fear it but embraced it.
I heard a buzzing, it seemed to be coming rom all around me... It
started to clear up and separate, they where voices. I was soon able to
differentiate the voices... Dave? T'Mel? Was the Ulysses destroyed in
the explosion? "The DNA was nearly destroyed, Captain."
"Will they survive, Doctor?"
"One will, the other won't."
"What about the other teams?"
"They were not exposed to the weapon. They are fine Captain."
I moaned. "He's waking up. Twenty cc's of Cordricine."
I felt something push into my neck and hiss. I felt a sudden rush of
energy allowing me the strength to open my eyes. I opened my eyes, the
Captain and Doctor where standing in my field of view.
"Had to cut it a little close, Captain?" I muttered.
A chuckle came from David's throat. I tried to sit up, damn I was sore,
but I was able to use my limbs.
"How's Amy?" I asked. The look on the Captains face did a complete one
eighty, changing to one of sadness. "What? What's wrong?" I asked,
looking from the Captain to the Doctor, the Doctor's face was
unreadable.
The Captain looked nervously to the Doctor, then to me, then the ground.
"When we got you, she wasn't breathing. The Doctor was able to revive
her, but her DNA was completely destroyed."
I was surprised. "But Jade said it would take ten hours for our DNA to
be completely destroyed. Speaking of which, was the weapon's effect
reversed?"
The Captain spoke before the Doctor could. "It was, but when the
listening post detonated, it released an electromagnetic pulse that took
out propulsion and knocked the computer out for a split second. You and
Amy where stuck in the buffer when this happened. The remnants of your
DNA where lost, but Amy's was saved. The buffer transferred her DNA to
you.."
I looked down at myself, I still looked like myself.
"So Amy should survive?" I asked.
The Doctor spoke up, "There was no DNA left, it was all transferred to
you."
"So why can't you take some of the DNA and inject it into her?"
"Because it would kill you. And it was her request that we kept you
alive," the Doctor said.
"Wait. Why would a DNA transfer kill me?"
"Because Commander, that DNA is the only element keeping you alive. You
have no DNA left, her DNA is replicating in you but slowly. There is not
enough DNA to support you and Ensign Sorensen."
I glared at the Doctor. "She requested that you spend your efforts on
me!? I don't care if I die, as long as she lives! Take her DNA and put
it back in her!" I yelled, tears forming in my eyes.
"You must control your emotions Commander, they will no doubt bring you
trouble," the Doctor commented.
I stood up and glared at her. "Where is she? I can change her mind."
The Doctor pointed to another bed, Amy was on it.
"Is she awake?" I asked.
"She is, but she is paralyzed from the neck down."
I stalked off to Amy's bed. When I arrived she looked at me. "Don't try
to change my mind Jason. This is something I wan't."
Her voice was weak.
"But why, Amy? Surely you could go on without me, but I could never live
without you," I said.
Tears started to streak her face. "You'll never be alone, Jason. I'll be
in your heart, and your memories. You will always have my love for you.
But promise me you will live, for me."
I smiled, tears stinging my eyes. I reached out and stroked her face. "I
promise, I love you." I leaned down and kissed her.
"I...love...you...too, Jason." The air escaped her lips, her head tilted
to one side, eyes closed. She looked so beautiful.
"Amy? AMY!" I cried. My knees felt weak, I couldn't stand. I'm not sure
I wanted to, I wanted to stay there forever. I felt my heart crumble as
she left our realm of existence.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked to see the Captain's hand.
"I'm sorry, son. I know how close you two where."
I looked up into the Captain's eye. "Honestly, sir, before she called it
off, I was going to ask her to marry me. I was going to give up my
position, so she could continue with hers. But she wouldn't let me."
The Captain smiled. "I know. She came to my office, asked me to turn
down your resignation if you submitted it. She wasn't going to let you
give up your life for her."
I could no longer hold the Captains gaze. "She was always so stubborn."
The Doctor came up to us. "Commander, there is something we need to
discuss."
I looked over my shoulder at the Doctor. "What is it Doctor?" I asked.
She looked to her office then back to me. "My office would be ideal,
Commander."
I stood up and walked to dr. T'Mel's office. She motioned for me to sit
in one of the two chairs, while the Captain took the other.
"As I mentioned earlier, Commander, Ensign Sorensen's DNA was
transported into you. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, your DNA
would maintain your body."
I nodded.
"But your DNA was destroyed when the transporter malfunctioned."
This caught my attention. "So what's going to happen to me, Doctor?" I
was getting worried.
"Because your body doesn't have its previous blue print, for which to
rebuild. Your body will start using the DNA of Ensign Sorensen to
rebuild its self."
I was still confused. "You are going to... transform, for lack of a
better word, into an exact copy of Amy, Commander."
I was shocked. It's not every day that you find your going to transform
into you ex-girlfriend. "You mean I am going to turn into her clone?"
"Not quite, Commander, you will maintain your memories and experiences.
But will have a memory of some of Ensign Sorensen's life, and
experiences. As a person grows their experiences, and memories are
partially encoded in the DNA."
I nodded. "How long do I have, Doctor?"
"The transformations have already started, most will be internal, but it
should be complete in three months."
"We have transferred Ensign Sorensen's belongings to your quarters," the
Captain said. "I have asked Tom Jensen to speak with you, and help you
through this."
I nodded. This was a lot to take in. "Honestly, Captain, I would like to
be alone for a while." I stood to leave.
"Commander, can I ask you to contact Amy's next of kin? You knew her
better than any of us."
I stopped at the door. "She doesn't have any next of kin, Captain.
...Her mother died of a stroke four years ago, and her father
disappeared during Wolf 359. She had no aunt or uncles."
"Commander, before you go..."
I turned, to face the Doctor. "Yes Doctor?" I swear I could see the
Doctor was sorry for Amy's death.
"If you have any questions or concerns, I will be available."
I smiled. "Thank you, Doctor, but right now I would appreciate your
discretion on the matter."
"Of course, Commander."
I headed straight for my quarters, there I found all of Amy's belongings
packed up in standard issue fleet crates. I couldn't bring myself to
open them, I just went to my bed. There on the night stand was a picture
of me and Amy, during our trip to Risa, god she looked sexy in that
swimming suit. "Well Amy, you said you would always be with me...I guess
you were right."
Right then all of the emotions that I had been feeling broke loose, and
I cried. I had just lost the woman I cared about, killed by the man I
was sent to capture and failed. "Jade, I swear, when I catch you I'm
going to kill you the same way you killed me." I fell asleep, feeling
sorry for myself. Kicking myself for getting Amy killed.
The dreams I had that night where...interesting. I dreamed I was
standing before Amy, she and I where both naked. We stood there staring
at each other, her eyes showed she was still alive, and vital. A sound
off in the distance caught our attention, we turned to see Trevor
standing with that same weapon aimed at us. I turned to Amy, trying to
protect her. Jade fired, I felt the impact, I felt a force pulling me
towards Amy. Amy opened her arms, she mouthed something to me, then I
was pulling to her. As our skin came together Amy disappeared, and I was
left standing alone.
Jade was gone, I was standing in a shapeless abyss. I felt a sudden
sharp pain in my groin and in my stomach. I looked down to see my cock
shrink, then disappear. My balls where gone as well. I reached down
trying to find my manhood, but all I found was a slit. I felt my finger
slide into me from the inside. As I pulled my finger out my whole hand
was small, delicate, and feminine. It was tipped with well manicured
nails painted the same color Amy used to wear.
I continued to look at the void between my legs, suddenly two mounds
slowly began to push my chest out. My nipples became big and puffy. I
reached up and touched my new breasts. My hand brushed against my
nipple, I felt a tingle shoot down my spine to my crotch. I gasped, the
feeling was incredible, but something seemed wrong. My gasp was to...
high, more feminine. I looked up to see Amy standing before me again,
only her hand was playing with her nipple like I was. Suddenly it came
to me, this wasn't Amy, it was a reflection of me.
"I'll always be with you, Jason." I turned suddenly to see Amy before
me. "You wont ever be alone, my love," she reached up and touched my
forehead, her finger began to glow.
"Amy, I don't understand..."
"Shh... my love, soon you will," she said.
Just as she was about to touch my forehead, I woke up. I woke up in a
cold sweat, my heart was racing. My stomach was a bit upset. "Computer,
time?" I asked.
"The time is zero four hundred hours."
Two hours before I'm on duty. I decided to take a shower and head to the
mess. Thirty minutes later I was dressed, and on my way to the mess.
When I arrived the mess was empty, except for Tom. He had his back to
me, but I knew he was aware of my presence.
"Please, Commander, you needn't worry about bothering me."
I chuckled to myself. "Can't get anything past you, can I?"
He smiled and shook his head. His face changed to a look of sadness. "I
heard about Amy. It's a terrible thing she's gone."
I couldn't look him in the eye anymore. "It is." I muttered. "Did they
also tell you about me?"
"That you are turning into an exact copy of Amy? Yes they did."
"I would appreciate it, if you wouldn't blab it to the rest of the
crew."
"You know me Jason, I can keep the secret." He smiled.
"Thank you, Tom," I said, getting up and walking over to the replicator.
I don't know why but I ordered a large plate of pancakes, sausage and
eggs. I returned to the table and sat down.
Tom looked at my plate, then up at me. "Are you really going to eat all
of that?"
I nodded. "I'm starving."
Tom just shook his head and went back to nursing his drink. I started to
eat, but found I couldn't finish it all. "Uh, I'm stuffed," I moaned.
Tom chuckled. "I knew you couldn't eat all that."
I shook my head. "I need to go, Tom. Thanks for the company," I said
waving to Tom.
"Any time, Jason," he called, as I rushed out the door.
I walked along the corridor in a rush, my destination was sickbay.
"O'Shay to Doctor T'Mel," I said tapping my combadge.
"This is T'Mel," came the response. "How may I help you Commander?"
"Can I speak to you... alone?"
"Of course. I am in sickbay, meet me in my office."
"Acknowledged," I said closing the channel.
I headed for the nearest lift. "Sickbay," I instructed. The lift started
to move immediately. It took a couple minutes for the lift to arrive at
it's destination. Once the doors opened I rushed out and made a beeline
for sickbay. The doors parted at my arrival, I startled a poor nurse so
bad she dropped the tray she was carrying. "Sorry," I muttered and
headed for T'Mel's office.
T'Mel looked up from her computer. "You wished to see me, Commander?"
I nodded. "I noticed something about me has changed already, when I
ordered a large breakfast like I always do. But I couldn't finish it."
T'Mel shook her head. "I don't understand, Commander."
I sat down in the chair across from her desk. "I can usually finish a
meal that big, but today I ate half and was stuffed."
"Fascinating," commented T'Mel. "Please wait here Commander." She stood
and walked over to a counter and brought over a tricorder, and began
scanning me. She consulted her readings. "It seems, Commander, that your
stomach has shrunk. Your intestines are moving to make room for your
uterus, which has already begun to form. Your testicles have already
begun to change into ovaries. I suspect in thirty-six hours they will
have completed their transformation, and begin producing estrogen. They
will begin migrating up into your abdomen shortly after. Your skeletal
structure has already started morphing to suit your new body. Your
pelvic bone should start changing in two hours. This will be rather
painful, but it will pass. When the pain begins call me immediately, I
will come to your quarters."
"The Captain has given permission for you to take leave."
I nodded. "Thank you, Doctor. You'll find me in my quarters." As I
turned to leave the Doctor called me.
"Commander, one more thing..."
I turned to her. "Yes, Doctor?"
"When your ovaries finish ascending, and your uterus is complete, you
will begin menstruating. And you will be able to be impregnated.
Normally a woman is born with her ovaries filled with eggs, but the
weapon you where struck with made it so you will begin producing eggs on
a regular basis."
I nodded. "Well at least I know what to look forward to."
I headed to my quarters, lost in thought. My thought dwelling on Amy, my
transformation, and my dream. I wonder what it all meant. I finally made
it to my quarters. I spent an hour considering my fate before the
transformation kicked into full swing. I went up to the replicator and
ordered a snack. 'Funny,' I thought. 'I couldn't eat one bite an hour
ago, why am I hungry now?' I went to my desk and pulled up a novel I had
been reading before the mission.
I read and snacked for another half hour before a dull ache started in
my hips. "O'Shay to T'Mel. It's starting Doctor." The ache was staring
to become worse.
"Twenty-seven minutes early, your metabolism must be operating at a high
rate than I anticipated."
I started rubbing my hips hoping to sooth the pain. "Could that be why
I'm hungry again?" The ache was getting worse. "Could you hurry Doctor,
the pain is getting worse." I had to sit down.
"I'm on my way Commander, please go lay down."
I did as the Doctor requested, it hurt to walk. As I laid down I could
feel my hips creak, it was rather disconcerting. The chime sounded a few
minutes later. "Enter," I called through gritted teeth. The door slid
open and T'Mel came in, to find me in a cold sweat and rolling from side
to side trying to ease the pain. T'Mel moved with grace and speed as she
pulled a hypo-spray from her bag, and injected me with it.
She reloaded the hypo and injected me again. "I have given you a
painkiller, and a calcium supplement. The changes to your skeletal
structure is going to sap you body of calcium. If we do not keep up,
your bones will be too weak to support your body weight."
The pain in my hips subsided to the point where I could sit up. "Thank
you, Doctor. Do you know how long it will take before this initial
transformation is finish?"
She checked her readings again. "I can not be accurate but it should
take twenty-four hours, ten minutes, and forty-two seconds."
"That's not being accurate?" I said incredulously.
"I did say it was a rough estimate," she said, raising one eyebrow. I
chuckled, but stopped when I heard my hips creak again. "Is this going
to happen all night?"
She nodded. "That creak is pelvic bone spreading. It should stop once it
reaches the same width as Ensign Sorensen."
I nodded, well at least I'll come out of this looking like a very
beautiful girl.
A couple hours later, I noticed that my pants where becoming
uncomfortably tight. "If you don't mind, Doctor, but my uniform pants
are becoming uncomfortable, would you mind if I change?"
T'Mel shook her head, but didn't move. "Doctor, I would like to change
in private."
She raised an eyebrow again. "It would be inadvisable for me to leave
your side at this time, but I did take the liberty of replicating
these." She pulled out what looked like a normal pair of slacks. I let
out an exasperated sigh, took the slacks and headed to the restroom.
It was an odd experience walking to the restroom. My gait seemed off, I
noticed a slight rocking of my hips. I had to place one foot in front of
the other, causing my hips to swivel more. And this was just the
beginning, I wondered what it would be like to walk with Amy's hips. I
finally made it to the restroom, when I heard the Doctor.
"Don't forget to remove your undergarments as well."
I rolled my eyes but did as she asked. It was a little hard getting my
boxers off, but once they where off I looked into the mirror. I could
already tell that my hips were wider and taking on a more feminine
curve. I grumbled and put on the slacks, they where a bit loose but they
where comfortable. I walked back to the bedroom and sat on the edge of
the bed.
The T'mel walked up and stood in front of me. "You do miss her don't
you?" she asked.
I looked up into the Doctors eyes. "Yes I do, Doctor." I winced as the
pain started to return. The Doctor took notice of this.
"The pain is returning?"
I gingerly rubbed my hips and nodded. She reached into her bag and hit
me with another dose of painkiller. "Thank you, Doctor." She then turned
and walked back to her chair, by my bed.
"I find this a fascinating experience. Not every race goes through a
transformation this drastic. I would like to take notes, with your
permission."
"Go ahead Doctor. This may help others at a later date."
I was starting to feel rather sleepy. I tried to suppress a yawn, but
failed. The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Sorry. I can't help it."
She put the hypo back into her bag. "It is understandable, Commander.
Your metabolic rate has significantly increased, you will be hungry more
often, and become fatigued faster. I suggest you get some sleep, you're
going to need your energy."
I couldn't argue with that. I laid back and promptly fell asleep. My
dreams... they where the same as the night before...why?
"Captain Amerman to O'Shay," came the hail from the comm.
"This is O'Shay. What can I do for you Captain?" I said groggily.
"I've called a staff meeting. I was wondering if you where feeling up to
joining us," came the response.
I looked to the Doctor. "I'll be there, Captain." I rubbed my hips,
feeling a noticeable flare. "How long was I asleep?"
She looked up from a book she was reading. "Approximately twelve hours,
five minutes, fifteen seconds."
"I think I should take a shower then, thank you for staying with me
Doctor."
"You are welcome Commander."
I stood and went to take a shower and. "Because you are not aware of
your pant size, I will have a clean pair of pants for you, Commander.
But I will only do this once, you must dress yourself from now on."
I nodded. "Thank you, Doctor," I said stepping into the restroom.
As the door slid shut, T'Mel said through the door. "Might I recommend
you wear some of Amy's slacks. Seeing as how you will be her soon."
I shook my head. "Ok, Doctor." I stripped down, and got into the shower.
The warm water felt heavenly on my hips. As I washed my hair I noticed
it felt fuller, and longer. I finished my shower. I stepped out and
looked at myself in the mirror. I had always been thin, but now my hips
and stomach were look more feminine. I had Amy's flat stomach, and her
hips. I was amazed how girly my hips were. I was beginning to take on
Amy's hourglass figure.
I looked at my feet and legs, they where still mine... hairy. But as I
got to my thighs and hips my skin took on a creamy color, spreading into
nice wide hips, and a tight flat stomach. My cock seemed a little
smaller, but not to noticeable. My balls didn't look different at all,
which I found odd. I looked a little further up, my chest was hairless,
and the skin was the same as on my hips and thighs. My face hadn't
changed at all, I still had my brown eyes. Though on my head I could see
the roots of my hair had already started to change to Amy's silver. I'll
have to shave my head... I thought.
Then it occurred to me, why wasn't I freaking out? I should be going out
of my mind, why wasn't I? I thought. I walked naked back to my bedroom
still conscious of my gait and the swing of my hips. Amy did have a sexy
walk, guess I have it now. T'Mel wasn't there, I guess she was
respecting my privacy. I went to my dresser and pulled out a pair of
boxers and tried to put them on. As I pulled them up I soon found that I
couldn't get them over my hips. I tried three times before giving up,
there was no way they where going to fit. Finally, in exasperation, I
walked over to the replicator and ordered a larger pair of underwear.
What came out was not what I had expected. I pulled out a black, lace
string thong. When I looked at the instructions I gave the computer, I
was shocked to see that I had requested this thong. I guess Amy's
memories where starting showing themselves. I remember the Doctor had
said they would. Shaking my head I started to slide them up my legs. As
the panties slid up my legs I noticed the hairs had become very fine. It
was odd feeling the thong crawl up the crack of my ass. But they fit,
though my manhood was a little crowded in the front of my panties.
Walking back to my bed I picked up the slacks, I could tell they where
wider in the hip than my normal slacks. They where very comfortable, I
noticed. I slid my tunic on and put on my boots. As I walked to the door
I noticed a slight pressure on my balls. 'Must be the panties' I
thought, suddenly I stopped. 'Why am I calling them panties, instead of
underwear? Guess I am going to need to talk to Tom.' At the thought of
Tom, I notice I was becoming erect.
My thoughts turned more carnal, more sexual. A smile spread across my
face. Then I noted where my thoughts had turned, and tried to clear
them. "I'm not gay. Am I?" I said aloud. As if hearing them would bring
forth the answer I sought. Then it came to me, Amy thought Tom was sexy.
"God, I really am turning into Amy..." I finally walked out the door,
nearly running into Heather. She was a beautiful African-American, she
was short at 5' even. Chocolate brown eyes full poutty lips, and a lithe
beautiful body.
"Hi, Jason," she said.
"Hi, Heather," I returned. Normally she would have had me standing at
attention, so to speak. This had me more than a little disturbed, was I
turning into a woman in mind also? I realized Heather was talking to me
when she asked me a question and I didn't hear it. "Are you alright,
Jason?"
I nodded. "Just a lot on my mind. Sorry."
"Not a problem," she said.
She smiled and nodded. "Still upset about Amy?"
I stopped and just looked at Heather. "I guess I am. Just wasn't ready
to say good bye to her," I said.
She placed a hand on my shoulder and gave a gentle squeeze. "We never
are."
I smiled sadly. "Thank you Heather." We stepped into the lift and headed
to the staff meeting.
Everyone was there as usual. Everyone had a sad look on their face, the
loss of Amy had hit everyone hard.The meeting came to order as soon as
we found our seats. The Captain started the meeting.
"Unfortunately Jade got the better of us. He killed one of our people
and nearly killed another. We were unable to give chase to his ship, due
to the fact of the E.M.P. shockwave hitting us and disabling our warp
and impulse drives."
The Captain continued on, "We where able to recover the logs from
runabout three. Jason, what do you make of this wave pattern you
discovered on your approach?"
I looked up and saw the wave form displayed on the screen. "It looks
like a wave form for a more powerful power supply, sir. We didn't have
time to perform a detailed scan of the asteroid."
The Captain nodded.
He tapped a couple times and pulled up a picture of Jade's ship as it
was making its escape. "From what we can tell, after Jade shot Commander
O'Shay and Ensign Sorensen, he beamed aboard this modified freighter and
left the system. We where able to track him for five minutes before he
left our sensor range. From the scans he has seriously modified his
freighter. It has an unique signature we can track."
My blood began to boil at the thought of this lunatic getting away.
"Starfleet wants us to track him and capture him. Commander, I want you
to study that waveform, see what information you can gain from it."
I nodded "Aye sir."
The Captain continued to brief the rest of the staff. I became aware of
Tom staring at me. I was acutely aware of his stare, I felt like he was
boring into my soul. 'Get out of my head, Tom,' I thought. He smiled and
gave his attention back to the Captain.
The pressure on my balls was getting worse, I shifted in my seat and
tried to get comfortable. The Captain called and end to the meeting, but
before anyone could leave, Doctor T'Mel requested that the Captain,
Mark, and Tom should stay.
"What is it, Doctor?" asked the Captain.
T'Mel looked at me, before she continued on. "It seems my estaminet of
Commander O'Shay's transformation was inaccurate. Do to his higher
metabolism, the transformation will be finished in two weeks, one day,
four hours, and twenty-three seconds."
The pressure in my balls was becoming increasingly worse, it was getting
harder to get comfortable. "Less than your original estaminet, Doctor."
T'Mel nodded her head. "I am aware of that Captain. I was not aware of
the increased metabolism at the time."
The Captain look to me, but I couldn't return his gaze. "Commander, I
assume you know soon you won't be able to keep this a secret any
longer?"
I nodded. "I am sir. And I believe the name Jason would no longer
apply."
"Have you picked a new name for yourself, Commander?"
"I have, sir. Amy had a sister-"
"I thought you said Amy didn't have any family left."
"I-she didn't, she had a twin who was stillborn. Her name was Jocelyn, I
thought it would be appropriate."
The Captain suddenly looked up to me, his look was one of sadness.
"Unless you would rather I choose another name."
He shook his head. "No. No, that's quite alright, Commander," he said in
a whisper. "I noticed you used the vernacular 'I' instead of 'she', any
particular reason?"
Tom then turned to the Captain. "I believe I can answer that Captain.
Jase- Jocelyn is having the memories of Amy leaking into his conscious
mind." The Captain nodded.
I then turned to Tom. "Tom, I have some questions for you. Can I ask
you-" Suddenly the ache in my balls turned in to a sharp pain, like
someone had just kicked me there. I doubled over in pain. It was
incredible it wouldn't go away, it only seemed to get worse. The Doctor
was at my side instantly.
"His transformation is continuing," she said, tapping her combadge.
"T'Mel to transporter room, I require an emergency site to site
transport of two, to sickbay."
I was finding it hard to stay awake, the pain kept trying to knock me
out. Soon the room dissolved and I found myself laying on a bed. The
pain still hadn't lessened, the T'Mel was right beside me, pressing a
hypospray into my neck. The pain was starting to lessen, but didn't go
away completely.
"I can not completely ease the pain, Commander. You must remain
conscious during this particular transformation."
I nodded. "Thank you, Doctor. Can you tell me how long this one will
take?"
She looked into my eyes, that look seemed to calm me. "This
transformation will take approximately two hours, and sixteen minutes."
Two hours of this pain, I didn't think I could survive it. But if I knew
the Doctor, she would keep me alive through this torture.
"Commander, if I may ask you something?" she asked.
"Of course, Doctor, what is it?"
She seemed uncomfortable with asking me. "I considered Ensign Sorensen
my closest friends. I admit that I will miss her. But I was curious, are
you aware of her memories of our friendship?"
She did bring up a valid question. I tried to call up any of Amy's
memories, but failed. "I'm sorry, T'Mel... Doctor, but I'm not able to
remember anything of Amy's memories."
T'Mel seemed a little downtrodden. "I understand, Commander. And you may
call me by my surname, if you wish. I believe in time Amy's memories
will surface."
I nodded. "I apologize, T'Mel, and you may be right. Amy's memories may
just open up. And please call me Jocelyn, it's going to take me some
time to get used to this name," I said.
Just then Tom walked in, he had a look of concern on his face. T'Mel
turned and regarded him with a look that looked more irritated than
calm.
"Councillor, how may I assist you?"
Tom looked a little hurt. "Just came to see how Jocelyn is doing."
T'Mel consulted the reading above my bed. "Commander O'Shay is doing
fine."
I had to smile, T'Mel didn't like to be disturbed when she was working.
Then it occurred to me, how did I know that? I was getting scared, was I
going to loose myself when Amy's memories came out? I turned to T'Mel.
"T'Mel, can I speak with Tom? You can stay if you wish, but I have some
important questions that I need answered." Honestly I hoped T'Mel would
stay. I felt comfortable with her being there.
"I will stay, Jocelyn," T'Mel said.
I smiled, turning my attention back to Tom. "Tom, I know most people in
my position would be going insane. Why am I staying so calm? Also, when
Amy's memories completely surface will I lose who I am?"
Tom seemed to take this in stride. He let out a sigh. "You're asking the
tough questions, Jocelyn. I can only guess, but I think when Amy's
memories fully surface you will remember who you where. But because you
will have her memories, it will affect the person you will become. As
for your staying calm, I can sens something from you, but I can't quite
make it out. I think when the time comes you will understand."
He then looked deep into my eyes, I felt as though I would melt. "Amy's
memories have already started surfacing haven't they?"
I could no longer meet his gaze. "Yes, a couple times. When I selected
my undergarments, then in the briefing I remembered her memories of the
crew, and finally here in sickbay when you entered. I remember T'Mel
doesn't like to be bothered when she is working."
Tom's voice became more serious. "That's not all is it, Jocelyn."
I turned and looked at Tom, no sense lying. "No, that's not all. I find
I am no longer attracted to women."
Tom nodded. "Amy was very much heterosexual. You may find that you will
become aroused at the same people Amy found attractive."
I blushed when Tom said this. I can't believe something like that would
embarrass me.
I couldn't take Tom's stare any longer. Just at that moment T'Mel spoke
up. "Councillor, I must insist you leave. These transformations must be
monitored, and with you here I am unable to finish my exam."
Tom nodded turned and walked out. I turned to T'Mel. "You didn't have to
force him out, T'Mel."
She raised and eyebrow and looked up to the door. "I wished to continue
your exam in silence."
I chuckled and winced as the pain in my groin returned. The next few
hours where spent with T'Mel poking and podding me. I hadn't been that
embarrassed since my entry physical. T'Mel poked and prodded me in areas
I didn't think I had. T'Mel had just finished her final exam. "It seems
Commander you now have two ovaries. Your uterus is nearly complete, your
body is now being flooded with estrogen. You may experience mood swings
at a moments notice. Your birth canal will completely formed in two
hours. Your ovaries will be in position in eight hours."
What a blow that was, I just found out I was not going to be male in
eight hours. 'Well at least my panties will fit better...' I thought.
'Ok, why did I just think that?' Again I was not panicking, why? Tom
said there was something helping me stay calm. But it would reveal
itself in due time. I nodded, sat up and got ready to leave.
"Jocelyn?"
I turned back to face the Doctor. "Yes, T'Mel?"
She seemed a bit... Is nervous the right word? "I would like you to wear
this," she said holding out a cordical monitor. "I have had this
modified this monitor to keep track of the transformation."
I took the monitor and attached it to my temple. "T'Mel, you said that
the transformations would take two weeks to complete. Why is my uterus
nearly complete, in under forty-eight hours?"
She nodded. "That is correct, Jocelyn. But that is not the complete
transformation. You body will take longer to complete. Your breasts will
take eight days to complete, your face will take one week, and the rest
of your body will take an additional week. Also your urethra has
migrated. And your clitoris is complete."
I nodded and thanked T'Mel, before heading to my quarters to change and
go to engineering. When I got to my quarters, I stripped down and looked
at myself in the mirror. God, my cock was gone. What was left wasn't
much bigger than the tip of my pinky. I realized that I needed to use
the head, so much for standing to pee.
I sat on the toilet, when I tried to release the urine. I found an odd
sensation, as T'Mel had said my urethra had moved. It came out from
between my legs through a small hole. I got into the shower and washed
myself like I usually did. While I was washing my groin, I brushed
against my... I guess I have no choice but to call it a clit now. The
shock wasn't unpleasant, in fact it was very enjoyable. I rubbed it
again, letting out little gasps and moans. The rubbing sent shocks of
pleasure throughout my body.
I started rubbing faster and faster. I found I couldn't stand and laid
down and continued to rub. Oh the pleasure reached its peak and I lost
all control, I started twitching and shuddering. After a few more of
those mind blowing orgasms, I laid on the floor of the shower gasping.
That was wonderful. After my shower I went to the crates and started
going through them. Most of it was Amy's clothes but I found some of her
family pictures. Funny, I remember them being taken as if it was me
instead of Amy.
Then I found it... it was a locket. I opened it and found a picture of
Amy and her mother, I remember when she received this... It was shortly
after her mother died, it was left to her, along with the house... after
her father disappeared. I felt my heart start to ache at the memory of
mom and dad... Amy's mom and dad. Suddenly a tear fell on the locket,
and I realized I was crying. My emotions, T'Mel said that they would be
surfacing easier.
I closed the locket, then put it down in the box. I stood to get
dressed, but something kept nagging me. I looked back to the locket and
something made me pick it up again. Shrugging I put it on. I started
going through the clothes and came up with Amy's favorite corset. God I
remember when she wore it for me, she looked incredible in it. I looked
up at the ceiling. "I miss you Amy..." I walked back to the replicator
and ordered me a fresh uniform and underwear...no big surprise it was a
thong. I finished dressing and left my quarters to head to engineering.
Once there I set to work trying to figure out the waveform. There was
something odd about it, I just couldn't put my finger on it. I felt
something moving deep inside my stomach, suddenly I felt myself being
split slowly. My vagina was forming...I could feel it grow millimeter by
millimeter. I put it out of my mind, though it was rather hard when it
felt like a snake working its way up between your legs.
Finally it came to me...this waveform was from a modified anti-matter
reactor! The output was high for an outpost, high enough for shields,
phasers, and torpedoes. The waveform was a final booby trap, designed to
take out the power systems of a starship, giving Jade enough time to
escape. He was turning the asteroid into a floating base. He could have
taken on the Ulysses and won, not just the Ulysses... but a fleet. I
walked out of engineering to the nearest lift. Suddenly I felt the last
pinch of my vagina finishing its journey to my uterus. Looks like I am a
full woman now...
I stepped out onto the bridge. David, Laura and Tom where there along
with the rest of the bridge crew. All but Tom didn't notice my entrance,
I new Tom was hiding his knowledge of my presence. I stepped down into
the command centre.
"Captain, I have a found out something important."
Captain Amerman nodded and motioned to his ready room. "Commander,
Councilor... join us. Mark you have the bridge."
We all entered the Captain's ready room, Captain Amerman walked behind
his desk and sat down. "Report, Commander."
"Captain, Jade was modifying that listening post's power systems. That
wave that hit the ship, was designed to take out our power systems. It
gave him time to escape, but that's not all. The power output has been
increased. He wasn't finished modifying the base, Jade had the power to
drive class ten phasers, shields, and torpedoes. He would have had the
power of a starbase..." I said.
Captain Amerman nodded. "Sounds like he wants to start a little empire
of his own." We all looked at the Captain like he was nuts.
"How do you mean, Captain?" Laura asked.
He chuckled and looked to us. "Think about it. An asteroid can be moved
from one location to another... a mobile base. Also the firepower of the
base can take out a small fleet. He could put that base in orbit of a
planet and crush anyone who tries to stop him."
I nodded. "But what about propulsion? The scans didn't show any signs of
engines."
David nodded. "He doesn't need engine. He just needs a ship to lock a
tractor beam on it and haul it where he wants it." This made a lot of
sense, I was becoming determined to catch jade. I made a promise to
catch that butcher and kill him. The meeting ended with me being
assigned to track down Jade's shuttle. Easier said than done, the sensor
logs from that time where nearly destroyed.
As I was heading out of the ready room, Mark walked up to me, something
just didn't seem right about the look on his face.
"Lieutenant," I said. "What can I do for you?"
He smiled and I felt like running from the room and taking a bath. "Hi
Jocelyn. I was wondering if you'd join me for a drink, when we got off
duty?"
Everything told me to say 'no'. "Sure." What the hell was I thinking! I
just told the biggest racist and bigot on the ship I would have a drink
with him! I left the bridge and headed to engineering.
As I left the lift I was still trying to figure out why I had said yes.
'Jason...' I turned to what I thought was the source of the voice
calling me. There was no one there... 'Jason...' I turned again, "Who's
there?" Again there was nobody there. I heard a feminine giggle. 'There
is nobody, my love. And if you keep talking to yourself everyone will
think you've lost it.' I looked around again to make sure no one was
playing any tricks on me. "Amy?"
'Yes, my love?' came the voice
I wasn't entirely sure what was happening, so I ran to my quarters to be
alone. I made it, though I think I left my sanity in the corridor. "I
thought you died, Amy." Again there was that giggle. 'You needn't use
your voice to speak to me, Jason. Use your thoughts.' I chuckled, seemed
like I was too surprised to think straight. 'How are you doing this,
Amy?' I thought.
'When the transporter failed and my DNA was transferred to you, a part
of my consciousness was transferred as well. I was weakened during the
transfer, so I wasn't able to tell you I was here. I was helping you to
stay calm during you changes.' I smiled, at least Amy would never leave
me again.
'Amy, I missed you' I thought.
If it was possible for Amy to smile, she was doing so. I could feel it.
'I missed you too, Jason. Or should I call you Jocelyn?' I couldn't help
but blush. 'It didn't seem right for me to call myself by your name. I
hope you don't mind.' Amy seemed to take pride in this. 'I would be
honored. Now, why did you accept that date from Mark?'
'It's not a date,' I said defensively.
'You're a terrible liar, my love. You didn't see the way he was acting?'
Amy asked, she had the voice of a mother.
'He was acting different?' I asked she made a clucking noise.
'Yes. He was acting different. Lets go on the date and you'll see. But
we have some work to do,' she said. I nodded and walked out of my
quarters, and headed back to engineering.
I spent the next four hours trying to reconstruct the sensor logs. But
as I told the Captain, the where destroyed. This was going to take a few
days to reconstruct them, even then they would be incomplete. "Computer,
time?" I said, cracking my back.
"The time is seventeen-thirty hours," came the response. Damn I let time
get away from me.
I left engineering and made for the nearest lift. It took a couple
minutes for the lift to get to deck ten aft. I walked through the doors
to find Mark in the back corner. He saw me and waved me over. I walked
over and took a seat across from Mark.
"Hi, Jocelyn," he said, with a smile that made me very uncomfortable.
"Hi," was my only response.
"What will you have?" he asked.
I looked at the glass in his hand. "What's that your drinking?" I asked.
He looked down and smiled. "Tequila," he said.
I shrugged and said, "Sure."
He waved over a server and ordered the drink for me. My drink arrived
and I took a sip, wow what a punch. Nothing like the ale I used to drink
back home in Ireland.
"So, how's it going?" he asked.
"Fine, I guess," was my response.
"What's it like having a cunt, now?"
How dare he say that! "I would prefer you don't say that word again. And
to answer your question, it is a new experience."
He chuckled. I took a good long swig of my drink, wow that stuff was
powerful. I was already starting to get buzzed. We spent the next thirty
minutes talking, but I just wanted to get out of there. I finally came
up with an excuse, I had some work I needed to finish. Ok not a total
lie, I did have work I needed to finish but it could have waited until
the next morning.
I made it to my quarters and opened the door. Suddenly an arm grabbed me
and pushed me inside. I felt a hot breath on my neck. "Shall we try out
that new pussy, you freak?"
It was Mark, and he was slurring his word. "Mark, get out of here before
I call security," I said, trying to keep the fear out of my voice.
"Have you forgotten? I am security," he said.
He then placed his hand over my mouth, muffling any further protests.
"You're going to like this, freak," he hissed in my ear.
'Oh god, someone help me please,' I thought. He dragged me to my bedroom
where he tore my slacks off revealing my panties.
"Well it looks like our little freak likes thongs," he said. He had an
evil glint in his eye. I was crying, my heart was beating in my chest. I
was too scared to move. No one was going to help me...
I felt his hand grab my panties and rip them off. "Too bad you don't
have boobs. I would love to play with those," he said. His fingers
started rubbing my clit. I tried to kick but he was too strong, he pined
my legs and continued to rub me. What was happening, I should have been
able to kick his ass. I tried to scream, to call for help, but all that
came out was a pathetic squeal. "That's right you bitch, try to call for
help." I felt something try to slide into me, it was too small to be a
cock. It was Mark's finger! 'Amy I'm sorry I didn't listen to you,' I
thought.
'Don't worry, my love. Just calm your thoughts, someone will help us,'
she said with a voice calm and soothing. Just then I heard the buzz of a
zipper being lowered, I felt Mark shift and his pants where gone. His
cock wa
