Unfortunately, our arrival at the Marine Command Ship in orbit around Mars alerted all my paranoid instincts that someone believed that we might be investigating something. Our reception was far too formal for a single commander and his protégé, and we were immediately informed that a Major Dupont was waiting for us.

I did not know the man, but the instant he walked up, all my instincts went into overdrive. The man's unit insignia on his right arm indicated that he worked in Naval Procurement, and he mentioned that he was greeting us on behalf of his commanding officer General Clayton.

The Major appeared earnest so after a quick glance at Linda to warn her I spoke to the man. "Thank you for the greetings. It's nice to find someone waiting for me when I arrive on an assignment. However, I thought Colonel Newhart was going to be my primary contact. After all this is merely a training session for the Lieutenant here."

Major Dupont appeared a bit surprised by the news. "Only training?"

I smiled. "Yes, the Borneo Military District did not receive a replacement investigator they had requested so they asked me to train Lieutenant Jackson here. We have an arrangement with Colonel Newhart to run an investigation exercise on some of his inventory protocols. Is General Clayton his superior?"

I noticed that Major Dupont appeared flustered and uncertain by this news. "No. General Clayton works in Procurement. He's currently in charge of making the decisions on what ships should be built and where they should be allocated."

Linda did a delightful job of appearing completely confused. "I thought that was all controlled by the AI? After all can't the AI keep better track of what's going to be available? Especially with pickups and training still ongoing."

Sarah grabbed me from behind. To anyone watching she was cowering in fear, but I could sense her muffling giggles into my back as the Major stammered. Finally he came to attention and looked right at me. "Nevermind that. If you are here for an exercise you should check in with your regular contact. However, the General is interested in how investigators go about ensuring that regulations are met. Would it be possible to schedule a meeting during your stay?"

I nodded to the man. "Definitely, however you are right that I do need to find Colonel Newhart. In the original plan it was supposed to be a surprise inspection and I want to see if he wants me to show up after breakfast and demand that his staff produce their reports."

Major Dupont offered a final nod and then walked off. Linda stood by me holding her breath until he turned the corner. The instant he did I sighed and spoke again. "This is for the local AI. Per the Internal Affairs directives I want all recordings and video of Lieutenant Jackson and myself be placed into quarantine for the duration of our visit or until this order is superceded by a higher ranking investigator.

Linda gasped and looked at me. "What?"

I looked at her. "Its standard policy during an investigation. As I've explained during your studies the AIs are wonderful tools but they have absolutely no understanding of secrecy. Without the ability to issue that command Major Dupont and others could simply request that the AI track us and if he was a conspirator he'd know all about our investigation."

"Wow," Linda said her eyes widening in surprise. "But couldn't an investigator use that directive to shield himself from an investigation?"

Sarah giggled. "That's a really dumb thing to do. There's a couple catches to that directive and getting caught abusing it is the worst career suicide possible."

Linda looked over at my concubine who was now standing next to me and lovingly holding onto my arm. I lifted one of Sarah's hands to my lips for a brief kiss before turning to my protégé. "She's not kidding. There are some backdoors allowing other investigators to override the protocol if they are conducting an investigation, and discovery that you are using it to commit crimes means you are immediately assigned to investigate the nearest Sa'arm infested planet with no backup, pickup or weapons. I know of only one investigator who tried it and the video of his final investigation is as gruesome a sight as you'd ever want to see."

Linda paled, but said nothing so I asked the AI to give us directions to the stateroom we would be using during our stay and alert Colonel Newhart that we had arrived.

The walk to the room was thankfully brief. Sarah dashed in and threw herself onto one of the two beds as we entered. I was going to ask her if she wanted something to eat when I heard a shout from the hallway through the still closing door. Linda and I turned to see a young sandy haired man halting just outside the room.

"Door!" I shouted. The AI obediently stopped the closing of the door and it slid open soundlessly.

The man stepped inside and I was surprised to see the rank insignia of a Colonel on his shoulders. I snapped to attention and saluted. The man just laughed for a moment. "Stand at ease Commander. I might be a Colonel, but you are here on an investigation and not part of my chain of command. I just figured I'd get the preliminaries out of the way."

I relaxed and nodded to him. "Thank you. I have with me Lieutenant Jackson, who is my trainee. Do you have any plans on how you wish to conduct this exercise?"

Colonel Newhart shook his head. "What exercise? Commander Nelson you can't actually expect your cover excuse for coming here to hold, do you? This is one of the two headquarters ships for the entire human part of the Confederacy. There is no group more aware that there is a shortage of investigators. Heck, I already know that the head of your department was surprised to hear that you were showing up. His biggest concern is getting Fleet Admiral Tucker and General McCoy to finally agree on where your organization fits into the TOO."

I laughed. "They still arguing over if we qualify as part of Logistics or Information?"

Colonel Newhart nodded. "And you can expect a visit from him later tonight. He won't ask what the actual investigation is, but I can say your arrival has stirred up a hornet's nest. Several Colonels and Commodores seem convinced you are here to investigate them. Even a few Rear Admirals and Brigadier Generals have been jumpy since your courier broke out of jump and announced your arrival."

Linda actually giggled at this. "And I thought I was here to train in investigation by reviewing some of the inventory records for the Marines."

Colonel Newhart looked over at her and I could see his respect for her increase. He stood there quietly for a moment and then nodded. "Fine, we can do that. Tomorrow at oh six hundred local come down to my office and we'll have you play bull in a china shop with my unsuspecting minions. You won't find them all that unsuspecting though. Every department must know of your presence and will be on alert for whatever you happen to investigate. But I'll allow you to keep to your cover even if I don't think anyone really believes it."

He turned and walked to the door of the room. The AI sensed his action and the door slid open to allow him to exit. Once he had left, the door slid closed as I sat down next to Sarah who was playfully kissing my neck. Linda noticed as she took a seat and looked at me. "What do we do now?" she asked me.

I smiled as I lifted my bag and pulled one of the three PDA units I had the courier replicate just before we broke out of jump. "That is simple," I replied. "If we ask the AI any questions, the act of asking is something we cannot hide, so to start with I'll have this unit download a bunch of data from the AI, including a complete breakdown of the current command structure from Fleet Admiral Tucker and General McCoy down to the newest ensign stationed in Earth Orbit. I'll also have the PDA download all ship traffic logs for the system in the last six months. It won't give us the ability to see what orders were given, but we can put together a list of names, and once I download, this PDA will cut itself from the network, so no one is sure what exactly we are looking for."

The Ishtar InvestigationChapter 2 A New Assignment

It was a short walk to the Miwa Township teleport pod, and to my surprise I was given priority in the transfer line, arriving at Borneo Headquarters almost immediately. The entryway was crowded with troops, and I could hear a well-voiced master sergeant calling out names. It appeared that a major offensive was being prepared and a number of briefings were about to begin. I struggled through the mass of troops until I could reach the reception desk where a young looking female sergeant was...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 38 Unexpected Company

A week later and things were once again going rather smoothly. Debby had gone into her pod with Vicky completely confused, but emerged ten hours later to pick up Orlando a confident and changed lady. She still was nervous approaching Orlando, but the young man refused to accept her protests and threw himself at her feet once he learned about her earlier ordeal. The next day the trio showed up for their welcome party arm-in-arm and glowing, which brought a cheer to everyone's lips. Debby...

The Lost Valley of Ishtar

The Lost Vale of Ishtar By: Lyrissa The wind howled across the jagged rocks of the mountain cleft as a lone figure cautiously descended the winding mountain path towards the edge of the cliffs. The pass appeared to be a natural formation created when some ancient cataclysm violently tore the mountains apart to form a long, winding canyon which allowed for passage through this inhospitable region of the Kezankian mountains. They sky overcast by ominous slate- grey clouds and somewhere...

The Ishtar InvestigationChapter 14 Less than Innocent Remarks

Traci ignored everyone except Jennifer and dashed forward to stand by the bed. "Oh god!" Traci screamed. "I can't believe that such a thing could happen to you! Who did it! Why?" I think everyone was shocked by this action. I was looking over at Traci and noticed that the collar pins she normally wore had changed slightly. The ark appeared the same, but the other was now co-joined women's symbols rather than the mix of male and female symbols from when I visited her office. I was going...

Ishtar and Other Old Friends

"Has anyone seen Kalliste?" Chelsea Winters asked as came through the door of the Women's Co-op. "I need her help with something." She was a thin blonde woman with short hair juggling an oversized purse and an umbrella. "Here," Kalliste said from beneath the loom. She was tightening something with a wrench. She crawled out, a slender woman with dark hair, bright eyes, a small, up-turned nose and a generous mouth. "What is it that you need, Chelsea?" Chelsea finished shaking out her...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 6 The Mission is Revealed

I entered the mess hall to find the room only just starting to fill. I could not see Yvette or any other sponsor I recognized so I quietly claimed my usual table and sat down waiting to see what was going to occur. There was no rush of sponsors, but I could see a trickle of bodies entering as we came closer to the announced starting time. I contented myself with guessing if those entering were part of the sadist majority that Ensign Bates had warned me about. As I did, I noticed a subtle...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 23 Recovery

I slowly climbed back to consciousness. Fog seemed to cloud my head, clearing briefly as a loud hiss broke through my muddled thoughts. I tried to sit up, but a firm hand on my left shoulder kept me lying flat. "Don't move yet," Shawna's voice instructed me. "Open your eyes and look at me." Bright almost blinding light caused me to gasp, but I held them open and turned my head towards the voice. Shawna stood next to me. My position put me about her waist level. Glancing down I could...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 36 Testing Results

Two days later proved to be a major red-letter day for the growing colony. After a relaxed morning Yvette called to remind me that Amanda and Jack Junior were about to undergo testing and suggested that I come to the medical bay for the test period. The two birthday kids were going to be using medical pods as testing booths. I arrived to find Ed and Shawna waiting for my arrival before allowing the duo into the pods. I nodded to Ed, and Amanda was gently led to one pod while her mother...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 9 A Bully from a Good Seed

Whitney was still hugging Tamara when a man entered the command post from the teleport room's passageway. "Hey! It's the unattached slut! Are you giving it out now! You refused me on the ship! You're unattached and can't do that!" The man reached out to grab Whitney. His hand had barely touched her when James burst from his chair and in a flying tackle slammed the man against the wall of the room. "Tamara, get her out of here. Xavier! Get me whoever is in charge of the Tintagel...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 37 Friendly and Unfriendly Visitors

My master seemed exhausted as we left the command post and began to make our way through the passages. The halls were largely empty and I was going to ask why when the AI called out, "Devil hour has just begun." "More than half a day spent dealing with this," James said quietly. "I shouldn't be too surprised." "I just hope we can get some rest," I said. "That scientist seems..." I paused, trying to think of a good adjective to describe the man we had watched walk out. James said...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 16 A Meeting of the Sponsors

The next morning I woke in bed with all five of my concubines. I am not sure when I collapsed in bed, but they had arrayed themselves around me during the night. I snuck out of the room to get breakfast and clean up. The pod has a self cleaning feature, so other than putting the various games away, there was little cleaning necessary, and by the time that my ladies were stumbling from bed, I had the pod clean and breakfast on the table. "Yesterday was fun!" Tina said enthusiastically as...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 29 Giving a Tour

It took a moment for the laughter to die down and then I looked at Barbara. "Yes, you can stay, and we even have a pod you can move into, although you'll probably want to request some remodeling as both of our spares were occupied by sponsors who had no dependent children in the household. I can either show you directly to one of the pods, or we can find the rest of your household first." "Where are the pods?" Barbara asked. "The one that was Tasha's is the closest to the crossing,...

The Ishtar InvestigationChapter 6 Travel to the Scene

The trip to the teleport was swift and we found that we had priority in line. Moments later we were finding a comfortable place to sit as the courier ship's crew boosted for the jump point. "We've been told to hurry the trip, so we are boosting at max to the jump point. We'll be jumping in thirty minutes." I nodded. Sarah was snuggled into my side, and I was going to nap when the lieutenant in charge of the courier spoke. "Sorry sir. I have a call from Admiral Himmel for you and the...

The Ishtar InvestigationChapter 10 More talks few leads

The halls were a bit calmer. My journey to find Traci's office took me back to Colonel Newhart's office and I found him sitting somewhat peacefully. Since he no longer appeared hurried I stopped by. "Your investigation going well?" he asked. I pretended to ignore his comment. "I see that the emergency is over. I guess we could do that audit now." Colonel Newhart laughed. "You aren't here for that, and you don't have to pretend for me. Everyone already is speculating on your real...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 8 Castle Games

The brief baby boom ended eight days later and the population of our colony had increased by forty-eight children. Every one of the original thirty-seven female concubines gave birth although only Madison, one of Linus Van Stern's concubines, gave birth to twins. She was thrilled to have her third and fourth children and was soon offering to set up a day care and baby-raising clinic for any concubines needing a break. Her master simply glowed that he now had two sons and a new daughter to go...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 18 Preparations for Trouble

My master appeared to shake himself awake. "Damn, we don't need more trouble here. Michelle try to contact Borneo, we need to see if Admiral Himmel knows anything about this Chief Scientist." "Is that even a rank?" Tiffany asked. "Who knows," Yvette responded while massaging her temples. "But from the attitude on that man, he believes it means quite a bit." Janice looked around. "Are these alien artifacts really that important." I heard a snort. I turned to see where it came...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 22 Damaged Visitors

James was bringing Tina's lips to his when a voice I did not recognize started shouting. "Oh God! Oh God! James! James! We have a visitor! We have a visitor!" James paused and looked over at Bethany. She mouthed a name and he nodded. "Give me a report," he called out. "We have a jump point opening," the voice cried nervously. "The instruments say it's on a direct line with the Ursus system. One of the notes said that the last ship to arrive from that system was Nassau." James set...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 26 Another Show

After we finished feeding our children, Mickey, Cleo and I took them back to the cribs before we each grabbed some lunch. During our meal we talked a bit about the music we were playing. "I knew music like this existed, but this is more fun than I ever imagined," Mickey said. "And last night was ... wow! I could feel the way the audience reacted." Cleo nodded. "It is powerful. We need to be feeding that by playing our best." I blew out a raspberry. "More practice." The others...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 28 The Peace Ends

For the next week, every citizen had concubines hovering around him or her. If a citizen showed any fatigue, they were dragged back to their pods and forced to sleep. James and Yvette grumbled a bit about the concubines taking over, but the rest was definitely doing them good. Once again, gathering in our large recreation room became a popular pastime. Tyson, Terrence and Brad even came up with rules for three-person hockey. Teams were formed from a citizen and his concubines. Janice and...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 31 Musical Ships

I returned to our home hallways in time to catch James coming out of the command post. With Diana and Ingrid's help I cornered him in the hallway and ordered him to throw me over his shoulder and take me back to our home to ravish me. He did after telling the AI to order Bethany home. James did not really ravish me though. He jumped into the shower while Bethany and I fed our daughters and then pulled us into the hot tub for an hour of playful fun. Bethany held onto him at the end of that...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 43 Visits Bring New Troubles

James jumped away from the laser and waved to Tina and me. "Head to the briefing room," he ordered us. Tina dashed off, but I waited among the hanging fabric panels that shielded the ready room from the spray designed to counteract the acid atmosphere as James walked toward the exit. "Who was that?" the major snapped as James approached the exit. I slipped a bit deeper but remained close enough to hear the conversation. "Sounded like Ulla," James said. "I've looked over the list of...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 56 Can it Get More Unfriendly

"Tam, Tif!" James shouted. "What brings you here? And what about the training?" "Madison wanted to go home and feed her son," Tiffany said. She was wearing a green hockey jersey. I looked at the logo and found that it was a wolf with a red cape in its mouth. "Diana and Ingrid took over," Tamara said as she skated up to James. Her jersey was the blue of Alice's dress and had a grinning Cheshire Cat as its logo. Their concubines were making their way onto the ice. None of them...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 58 Tensions will Boil Over

"Colonel!" James shouted. "At this point I'm assuming these are your friends. And that you somehow expect them to force us to allow you to complete whatever mission you were given." "I have no idea what you mean," Colonel Johanes said quietly. "I'm a simple researcher, sent to investigate the artifacts discovered by your probes." "Really?" James replied. "AI, did you complete the records check I requested regarding Colonel Johanes and the members of his research...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 59 Taking a Warrant to the Extreme

We could hear people in armor moving down the corridor. I started to prepare the teleport system for a second teleport. Janice turned towards the doorway. She had a smile on her face. Before she said anything, there was a loud roar that echoed through the tunnels. For a moment, the speakers for our communication system gave off static, and then I could hear the hollow hiss of a flechette rifle being fired. "James!" Reggie's voice ran out. "Someone just used some kind of shaped charge on...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 60 The Tensions Grow even Higher

"I'm still trying to figure out what just happened," the admiral replied. "It sounds like there was a battle down there." "You might call it that," Yvette replied with a sniff. "Heck, if you want we could provide video of most of it." "That would prove nothing!" Colonel Johanes snapped. "It would be doctored before you sent it." "How?" Tamara asked. "You know, you are frighteningly inconsistent. First you claim we are untrained and have no rank but now we are supposedly...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 66 Natural Calm

The rest of that day was spent celebrating the survival of the colony. For James and my sister concubines, it was a time to reaffirm our bond and to relax together. For the first time in ages, James was not worried about anything. He lavished attention on each of us as we enjoyed our first break in a long time. That evening, the first repaired ships left the docks and headed off. Freya and Cardiff were the first to leave, but once they had left it seemed that a ship was departing every six...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 35 Naval Relations

The fighting outside seemed to die down after Ruth was so violently thrown back from our door. The AI reported that all small arms and explosives had been stripped from the armory and that only the morgue and battle armor were still secure. I had recommended that the AI find a way to disable the battle armor only to be informed by the AI that a rogue power surge had already fried a part of the armor electronics rendering it useless until repaired. We were pleased to hear that Ruth and Manuel...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 27 The Swarm Comes to Visit

I turned to Barbara to suggest that we start walking when Veronica's voice cried out. "Oh god! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We missed it! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" "Timothy!" I bellowed. "Report!" "We have a Sa'arm ship inbound. It came in from directly to spinward and just appeared from behind the sun. It's only about seven light minutes away right now. We didn't see it because of the sun." "Fuck!" Yvette cried. "Anyone know how much time we have?" Louis must have heard the...

USS Ishtar

Captain's Log, Stardate: 9283.4 Acting Captain Jerricha Lance recording: While on a routine planetary survey mission seeking suitable worlds for colonization, the ISHTAR encountered a strange alien vessel of a configuration never before encountered by the Federation. The ship was broadcasting a continuous beam with a regular pattern; assuming this to be a distress signal, Captain Gunther decided a boarding party was in order. The party brought back two things - a lone survivor from the vessel,...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 10 Preparations

Tina and I made our way to the doorway and headed out. It was clear that the conversation had turned to technical matters regarding the repairs and James would be tied up for some time. He waved as we left but was quickly pulled back to one of the panels to start reviewing the damage and suggested repairs to Tintagel Castle. In the hallway we found Alexis walking with a couple of the concubines from Tintagel. Both were wearing splints and bandages obviously created by tearing up a shift. She...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 11 Short Goodbyes

The next week it seemed I spent much of my time finding excuses to hide in the household pod or the Concubine's refuge. James had locked William in an otherwise unused habitat pod near the original command center, but the crew of Tintagel Castle proved to include nine more men who refused to keep their hands to themselves. Most of the concubines figured that out the first night when these men spent much of the welcome party drunkenly calling for Lindsay, Bonnie and Cleo to perform lap...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 17 Negative Official Notice

The departure of Freya brought peace to Ishtar. Janice continued to lead rehearsals of the musical. We now had a complete show that lasted just over seventy minutes. It was almost ready, and we were becoming increasingly worried that the secret would be revealed. Janice insisted that conversations about our work be kept to the Concubine's Refuge to prevent accidentally revealing our plans. The citizens seemed rather distracted though. James and Yvette seemed to spend hours in the command...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 33 Uneasy Truces

Brittany and Kitty relaxed slightly once James had disappeared from the viewscreen. Kitty looked a bit frustrated. "I want to help him, but I can't move fast right now," she moaned as she put a hand on her very pregnant belly. "I felt the same the last weeks before giving birth," I admitted. "James understands." Kitty nodded sadly as she claimed an empty chair and sat down. She quickly rolled the chair next to mine and threw her arms around me as I continued to watch the viewscreen...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 36 A Meeting with a Brain

It seemed to take forever to make our way to the passage that used to separate our home from the maniacs who had been dropped on Ishtar with us. When we arrived, the informal guard kiosk stood empty in front of a closed pressure door. We paused to wait for the doors to open when a young female cried out. "Wait!" We turned to find Lily, the ten year old daughter of Linus, pushing a double stroller. I tried to figure out what the issue was as she came to a stop in front of us. "Esther...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 39 Peace Through Providence

The statement from Governor Johanes lowered the temperature in the room even as James shifted his weight. My master seemed ready to lunge forward across the table and I held him tighter, trying to keep him from getting in trouble. It seemed he was not going to calm down and I was starting to lose my grip. "Excuse me, James?" a feminine voice said. I had my eyes closed as I strained to keep James in his chair and had not seen anyone approach. James tensed one more time and then seemed to...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 42 Major Complaints

I woke back up slowly. Around me I could hear the gentle breathing of my sister concubines. I peeked around to find them slumbering with me in the bed. Rising further, I was disturbed that James was not sharing the bed. Immediately I started to climb over Tina, who was lying by the edge of the bed. My left foot was about to touch the floor when Tina suddenly rose up and grabbed me around the waist. I sucked in my breath to scream only to find a hand slapped over my mouth. "Don't," Tina...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 44 Controlled Chaos Erupts

I ran from the command post. Behind me, I could hear that the conversations had definitely calmed down. Ahead, the hallways were silent. My progress to my home was uninterrupted as I rushed to Janice and Bethany. I arrived to find Janice laying Madoka on the couch. My sister concubine looked at me and laughed. "Great timing. I just changed Madoka and was going to bring her to you so you could feed her." "Where are Kitty, Brittany and Bethany?" I asked as I walked over to pick up my...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 51 Unfriendly Meetings

Once we passed through the airlock, Tyson put his arms around Cleo and pulled her to him. "Run along, girls," he said. "I think it's time I got this lovely lady pregnant again." Mickey and I giggled and then ran off down the hallway. Behind us, we could hear Cleo's cheerful squeal as she twisted around to kiss Tyson. "She sounds happy with the idea," Mickey said as we make our way through the passages. "I think she is truly happy about it," I replied quietly. "Tyson loves his...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 54 Stares Through a Wall

The next morning I woke up still wrapped up in Bethany's arms. I could hear someone over by the food replicator and carefully sat up, trying to leave Bethany undisturbed. I found Kitty trying to balance four trays on her arms. I was lying on the outside of the couch, so I rolled away from Bethany and stood up. Kitty was trying to turn away from the replicator and two of the trays looked like they were about to fall to the floor when I dashed in and grabbed them. "Thanks," Kitty...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 61 Rude Visitors

The loud blast of an alarm jerked me out of my sleep. I sat up in surprise and then looked around in confusion. Behind me, I could feel someone else move. I ended up rubbing my eyes a couple of times to clear them before I recognized where I was. The teleport room lights were now flashing a bright red as the siren continued to blare. "Quiet!" James' bellow cut through the alarm. It chirped one last time and then quieted down. "I need a report." "Sorry," a female voice said quietly....

Crisis at IshtarChapter 63 A Chorus of Mercy

"Go ahead," I said, putting my left hand up next to my ear. "Meiko," Maggie's voice said. "We have a teleport unit near Morrigan, but we are going to have a problem. The gunner is barely conscious and won't be able to get out of the pod without help." "Can someone from Morrigan do it?" I asked. "No," Maggie said. "I already asked. The grid is charged so anyone setting foot on it would be killed." I considered the situation. "We've done that kind of teleport before, but...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 65 A Pleasant Waking

The next thing I knew I was lying down on something soft. At first my mind seemed filled with fog, but in the distance I could hear a baby babbling. This reminded me of my own daughter and I thrust my hands down, planning on sitting up. Hands reached out and grabbed my shoulders, holding me down. "Slow down, Little One," Bethany told me. "You took quite a hit." "But Madoka," I cried as I squirmed in Bethany's grip. "She is fine," Bethany told me. "You do have five sister...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 9 A Visit from Yvette

Yvette was wearing a light and flowing dress that looked more appropriate for wearing on a summer day rather than in some climate controlled ship, but I was not going to say anything. I was more interested in the motley assortment of humanity accompanying her. Philippe was the first in the door after her. He was dressed, if you can call it that, in a loincloth and nothing more. He still seemed a bit unhappy, but it was clear that Yvette was continuing to support his inclusion in her...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 39 More Visitors

To I think everyone's everlasting surprise the rest of the visit by the remnants of the Wolf attack was absurdly simple. I was alerted by the AI when the Jackson finally slipped into a repair bay about four hours after I crashed into bed, but Commodore Sprague had requested that the formal meeting be delayed until morning as his own crew was collapsing where they stood due to lack of sleep. So it was nearly ten o'clock local time when I finally walked into the briefing room to find Yvette,...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 31 Visitors

The admiral huffed. "Well, do that. And get me a full report when you can." The speakers burst into static and then cut out. "Sorry, Sir!" Gina said. "He cut the connection." I was turning to Louis to check and see what he might need when Yvette's voice came over the speaker. "Damn! How does it go? When it rains, it pours? James we have a problem at the doors." "What kind?" I asked as Tamara and Gina gasped. "They're kids!" Tamara said. "They have to all be sixteen to...

The Ishtar InvestigationChapter 9 Learning from a new friend

The girl knelt limply at my feet and offered no resistance when I lifted her into my arms to step back into the room. She had her eyes closed as I stepped in and set her on the bed. Sarah smiled as I set the girl on the mattress. "Hey Fate," my concubine said. Fate gave a cry that was a combination of joy and panic before opening her eyes and noticing Sarah sitting next to her. She burst from her position and hurled her body at Sarah, almost knocking her down with a hug, as her loud and...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 14 Another Aftermath

James shook his head and looked up. "Terrence, start bringing all the injured from Freya over. Coordinate with their staff and bring the hurt ones over when gurneys are available. Let's get them medical attention quickly." "We're already on it," Donna said. "David, Elle and Robert are standing by with gurneys. Lindsay and Ed have headed to our multi-use room and are going to set up to treat the non-critical cases there. Craig and Tom are setting things up there." "Maggie has the...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 15 Lessons from a Model Citizen

"Bit of a walk isn't it?" Tanya said with a smile. "It's outside the citizen zone," I admitted. "But you had wounded so we teleported you in at our command post. I'm not sure we have a teleport near here yet. This is new." "Will all my crew be here?" Tanya asked. "Probably not," I said. "The walking wounded you had were directed to one of the rooms we have near our medical center. If there are free pods they'll rotate the people through." Tanya nodded. "On that note, how...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 16 Gifts Exchanged

Bethany had my daughter on a changing table when I walked in. She smiled at me. "Don't worry, I don't mind changing babies. Especially when it's the child of my sister." She lifted Madoka up and carried her over to me. With a gentle touch she laid Madoka in my arms. I looked down at the child I had brought into the world. She was now just over two months old and still spent the majority of her time sleeping, but right then she was awake and reached out her tiny hands to grab at my...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 30 Emergency Measures

"You need to get that fire out!" I heard Timothy shout. "It's too close to your missile magazine." "The magazine is empty!" a female voice called back. "We shot everything during our breakout from Ursus!" "I'm not worried about an explosion," Timothy called back. "The smoke from that fire will be poisonous if it reaches the loading tubes. Those tubes contain heavy metals that you really don't want to breathe." "Everyone here is in suits!" the voice cried back. "We...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 40 Gifts of Rabbits

I held Brittany in my arms as the door to the skating rink opened. Esther and the male concubine Petey stepped into the hallway. Kitty immediately noticed the young man. "Oh, a loincloth. I like the look." Petey blushed and stepped a little away from Kitty, who immediately turned to Esther. "The AI suggested that Brit and I be here now. What's happening?" Esther sighed. "Let's just say that Governor Johanes offered us an extremely clear example of the kind of leadership he offers....

Crisis at IshtarChapter 45 Old Friends Spark New Feuds

In the command post, everyone continued their frantic work to help save the ships and their crews. I could hear Ulla and Tiffany talking with Captain Travis and Captain Gates. Ulla was a bit confused at one point, but Tiffany's quiet confidence kept her at her post. James had finally dragged Janice and me over to a padded chair. He flopped into the chair and I quickly pushed Janice into his lap. My sister concubine quietly held on to our master. I was looking around for another chair when...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 46 Visiting Captains

Bethany walked forward once Brad had left the room. I was puzzled by her action until she reached down to pick up something. It took just a moment for me to recognize that it was the uniform Captain Gates had been wearing when she first arrived. "We definitely should return that to her soon," I said. Bethany nodded, but made no move to exit the transporter room. Instead, she walked over to stand next to me at the control panel. I turned to ask her a question as the speakers started to...

Crisis at IshtarChapter 57 Official Notices

My opponent abandoned his attempt to take over the teleport pad after about twenty minutes. I stood at the controls, waiting for the next attack. I was checking to see if I could set up some filters to help limit the scope of the attacks when I heard someone clear their throat behind me. I froze, but a hand kept me from turning around. "Don't panic," I heard Brittany say. "I just didn't know how to get your attention. You were concentrating." The console signaled that another attempt...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 5 Family Bonding

The next morning found me sandwiched between Tina and Bethany. I sat up slowly to find Janice and Meiko in each other's arms on the other side of Bethany, sleeping. All my ladies were sleeping peacefully so I carefully climbed out of bed and took my time to look around the pod. Tina had commented that it was two-stories, but to the best of my knowledge none of us had really explored past the common room and the master bedroom. I took the time to check the upper floor and found that the pod...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 8 Planning the Colony

The door had barely finished opening when a dark haired missile charged me and pulled me inside, checking every inch of me for bruises as she did so. Meiko was so attentive and vigorous in her probing that I could not get a word in edgewise and soon was laughing as her light touches started to tickle me. My other ladies came over and I offered them all a group hug as Meiko started to calm down. "I'm fine," I said. "Well, you scared us," Bethany said. "And why did it take so long to...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 10 The Council Meets

Dinner was completed quickly, although clean up suffered, as both Bethany and Janice demanded their fair share of kisses and caresses. I did sneak out long enough to have the replicator produce the schoolteacher outfit for Bethany and a cheerleader vest and skirt for Janice. Meiko seemed disappointed until I pulled out the schoolgirl blouse and skirt that she put on while blushing, immediately receiving cries of approval from the others. I had to laugh, but wanted to sneak in another hour of...

A Peril at IshtarChapter 11 A visit with the Rabbits

There were no others in the corridor and Terrence started out with Yvette and the others. I escorted Donna the other direction, listening for any trouble ahead. "Do we really have rabbits on board?" Donna asked me as we stepped out into the corridor. "Everything I've heard suggests that the confederacy doesn't worry at all about anything except their warriors." We were almost to pod green seven and I smiled. "AI, are Brenda and Brittany awake? Will it be acceptable to visit?" Donna...
