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. I recognized it as Janet's. "The missile cruiser just turned on every targeting system it has and pointed them at the colony. The alarm was set off by the AI."
"Admiral," James said icily. "You better have a damn good explanation for this. Especially if that cruiser is in firing range."
"It isn't," Janet said. "Once Cancun was in the repair docks it pulled back to rejoin the admiral's carrier. They are hanging out near the system's jump limit."
"We could fire from here," the admiral said.
"What? Even the best Confederacy missiles don't have enough fuel to boost that far," Janet said. "We do have anti-missile defenses set up. From that distance you might be able to fire, but the odds of a successful hit are zero."
"That doesn't matter," the admiral said. "I just needed to awaken someone on Ishtar. It's time for James to surrender himself so he can be taken to trial."
I could hear a long sigh over the speakers. Beside me, Madoka awoke and was clearly unhappy. I checked her and found that her diaper needed to be changed. The nearest changing table was just outside the room, so I picked her up to carry her as my master spoke.
"Admiral," James said. "Now, that warrant was issued by someone who works in research and development, correct?"
"Yes," came the curt reply from the admiral.
"And I believe even you must agree that there is no reasonable explanation for why a group with no representation in a system might issue a warrant," James continued. His voice was smooth and calming.
There was a pause. I had reached the changing table and set Madoka down while I retrieved a diaper and some wipes from the miniature replicator set up at the station. My daughter squirmed as I removed the soiled diaper and started to clean her. I was concentrating on this task, but still heard the admiral's grudging, "Yes."
This answer brought a smile to my face, but Colonel Johanes immediately screamed. "There is a reasonable explanation! The condition of this planet and its illegal colony were well known! The warrant was to prevent exactly the kind of uncooperative support I received when I arrived."
James snorted. I had finished cleaning my daughter and was securing a new diaper as he responded. "Admiral, I believe even you will agree that warrants are supposed to be issued for actual crimes, not as deterrents to be used if a commander doesn't receive a certain level of cooperation."
"That does make sense," the admiral admitted.
"And finally, wouldn't it make a lot more sense if a charge of insurrection came from the immediate commander. In which case Admiral Himmel should have been the one to deal with this, not a unit sent by Central Command?"
"You must have been a lawyer," the admiral said with a gruff snort. "Were you always such a barracks room barrister?"
"James is no lawyer," I shouted, defending my master.
"Doesn't matter if he is or was," the admiral blasted back. "I can see where he's going with the questions, and it doesn't matter. It is not my place to decode the legality of this warrant. I'm not an officer of the court that will try James. I am merely the instrument by which James will be taken and transported to the court. They will decide the legality of this situation."
"No," a new male voice said. "You won't be removing him from Ishtar."
"James..." Janet said.
"What?" he called back.
"Sif, Morrigan, Athena, and Freya are forming up in a line. They are directly between us and that carrier," Janet said.
I had finished putting the diaper on Madoka. She was still fussing a little. I returned with her to the teleport room and lay down on the bedroll. I lay her down long enough to take my top off and then brought her up to my breast. She began to suckle as the conversation continued playing out through the speakers.
"What is this?" the admiral shouted. "Captains, I order you to move out of the way."
"No," the same male voice replied calmly. "You do not have that authority. I also would note that if you persist in pursuing the adherence to a warrant that you have admitted to knowing was issued under false pretenses, you are putting your own career in danger."
"Another pretend barrister!" the admiral said scornfully.
"Actually back on Earth I was a lawyer," the voice replied. "Now it appears that I'm the senior officer from the district here. Lieutenant Colonel William Evans, Captain of Morrigan."
"If you are only a Lieutenant Colonel than I outrank you," Admiral Timmons observed. "That means you have to obey my orders when I tell you to stand down, so that I can arrest James and his people."
"My commander is Admiral Himmel," came an icy reply from Tanya Walker. I was astonished by how the warm and sexy voice was now filled with frost. "I do have to obey the superior officer within my chain of command, but you are not part of my chain of command."
"I'm from Central Command!" the admiral shouted. "What..." he paused in his rant. "Come again, you just said that Cardiff had broken formation! Captain, what is the meaning of this!"
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...
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...
Sometimes, I think living in the city of Brockton must be a curse. Yeah, that must be it. In a past life, I must have done something horrible. How else could you explain the kind of person I seem to attract? The meanest guys and the cruelest of women. The very worst humanity has to offer. I can’t stand any of them. Sometimes at night, I pray that God or the Devil, whichever one is listening would send a flood to wipe out the city of Brockton, Massachusetts. Seriously, the world is a better...
Terry commed Sean that they had visitors. He had picked up the group coming in across the grasslands from the west on his trip up to the ship on Monday morning. A group of thirty-eight people made up of Burgis, Pix and Prol’s were turning up on their back doorstep. Lee suddenly asked Sean to call up his troops. Nine were still on the planet. She called Kyle, Tony, Philip and Haf. Lee also asked for Doc Von and nurse Grace. She also wanted a medical scanner to be put on one of the platforms....
I have always been shy, maybe introvert if you prefer. But it is not like that I do not enjoy my time with other people. In fact some of the best memories are from times when I was able to get over my fears. But that is the tricky part. How to get over the fears? I have this odd fear of not being successful. And it is so bizarre! I know that failing would not be the end of the world but my head just makes it a big deal. I do not dare to try something if I am not fairly confident that I will...
As I sat there enjoying watching my wife being fucked by two other men at the same time, men we had only met the day before, I thought back to how this had all started and evolved so rapidly after we moved to Colorado. Carol and I had just recently moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We are both artists and decided that it was where we wanted to live and work. We love the snow, skiing and especially cuddling and making mad passionate love in front of a big roaring fireplace in the harsh...
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...
James waved at the ceiling. "End this call," he muttered. "The communication has ended," the AI replied. "Please note that Major Bonham is looking for ways to conduct surveillance of this side of the colony. Do you wish to block his attempts?" "I should," James replied with a snarl. "But if he only sees rooms and not the hallways it shouldn't matter too much. Just make sure he doesn't find out about our little hold out tunnel. I'm beginning to fear we might have to use it...
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...
"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...
It was nearly midnight as the three men walked through the campsite on their way back from the pub. It was an early Spring moonless night with a chill in the air so they were walking at a brisk pace, chatting and joking in low voices along the way. One of them happened to glance to the right and noticed that a caravan in the near distance was rocking.“Look!” He exclaimed, pointing at the caravan.“There’s fuckin’ goinig on on in there in there!” Said the second.“I know who’s that is,” said the...
It was the rest day, and everyone was happily kicking back, taking it easy. It had been a busy week, and Lee and Sean were thinking of taking the faeries and Drako and going home. The new residents were now part of the scenery and all happily employed. Their addition had helped immensely. Dye now had two Pixs to help her out, and they had taken to the new banking and contracts system like ducks to water. Other Pixs were now running the replicator. The new families of Prols were split...
This story is about my Stepmother. She brought me up from a very young age, hence I always called and thought of her as Mum. This happened some years ago, when I was only about 18, young and naive, and had never seen sex, except for some in dirty books from mates.This was what made me realise her secret rude side existed for sure, because at this time I'd only heard about a supposed sex video she'd made, from unreliable sources.I only suspected she might be unfaithful to Dad sometimes, not...
One day I was at the supermarket shopping for some eggs and bread and while I was doing that I was also looking for a hot mature women who I can take home and fuck. I looked thru lots of mature women and I finally found what I was looking for. I was at the check out counter and there was this nice mature aunty in front of me waiting for her turn. So while I was standing behind her I was admiring her ass from that salwar kameez. Her ass looks so good I felt like touching it right there. A Little...
This is the story of the second incident in Mum's cuckolding and whoredom, and her adventures into S/M. This was what made me realise her secret rude side existed for sure, because at this time I'd only suspected about her having made a sex video [Described in my story "Teresa's Torture"], but not having seen it myself at this point, I could only go on my instincts and hints from the incident with Kabul. [It was ten years after this that I eventually saw the film itself.] I only suspected she...
Just Another Set of Visitors----------The morning has passed quickly, people checking in, getting the assigned horses and then heading out to the trails for their rides. Most visitors were repeat customers and it was not necessary to administer the basic instructions on riding and horse handling. However, this afternoon at 1 pm, there was a beginning training session scheduled for two riders. There was no information on the riders, so when they arrived all the release and information forms had...
They were starting to get the gear not required, packed up when Terry commed Sean. “More trouble is coming Boss. There is a large party coming in from the same direction the others came from. With horses and wagons,” he told them. Lee and Kyle looked at each other. Their medallions had gone from warm to very warm. Lee had thought the sickness was the danger, but after she had cured the little girl, her medallion was still warm. Obviously, the illness wasn’t the threat it was warning her...
We had spent a very nice evening with some good friends.Anita stepped out of the car as the garage door closed behind her. I followed her closely, as I fumbled with my keys inside the pocket.I really never saw him... A slim dark figure slipping from the corner, moving quickly behind my sweet wife, wrapping his muscular arms around her and holding a knife to her soft neck. "Do exactly what I tell you, man…!" the hooded figure commanded.I got frozen in my tracks, hypnotized by the dark stranger...
A couple of years later, this incident happened.I used to go shopping with my stepmother who I called Mum, as she needed help to carry the bags, as the shopping centre was only a short walk away and Mum saw no need for the car. One day, before shopping, she came downstairs all dressed up, in a black leather miniskirt and flimsy blouse, her hair newly done and wearing the black leather thong sandals I'd just bought her for her Birthday. Her toes were newly painted all tarty red, and she wore an...
My first awareness of sex came through playing rude games with my older brother Colin and often his best mate Dominic.I can remember it was during the summer holidays and we were hanging out at home, both mum and dad were at work. My friend phoned to say she wouldn't be over today so I went to see what Colin and Dominic were up too.They had been looking through some cupboards adnd had pulled out a first aid kit, which had allsorts in it, a stethoscope, bandages, a thermometer etc.Before I knew...
Getting in the car Ian suggested they call for a some lunch and a drink at his club,Jill was a little concerned about going in with no panties on,a predicament arising from their exploits in the car park. She felt her skirt was damp at the back,but Ian reassured her it did not show. Going in to the club, which was very elegant, they checked in. Then proceeded to their respective toilets to freshen up.In the luxurious ladies toilet Jill wiped her tummy and legs with a damp flannel,before...
FetishA few weeks have gone by and the camp is still talking about the tasty but strong bruga that finally ran out two days ago. I let the remainder be rationed until it was gone and only at dinner. I was given the word from the ‘Grapevine’ that most people were pleased with the celebration, but everyone was looking forward to the next such event in the future. I was thinking that I would have some reason to make a party happen, when a reason showed up all by itself. All the men in camp like to...
Ich saß im Zimmer meines Bruders und schaute heimlich seine Pornosammlung am PC an. Ich darf eigentlich nicht an seinen Rechner, aber da seiner schneller ist als meiner, schleich ich mich manchmal in sein Zimmer um zu spielen. Vor ein paar Monaten hatte ich dabei seine Pornosammlung entdeckt. Ich bin 16, meiner Bruder Joey ist 23. Joey ist ein Mädchenschwarm, athletisch, hübsches Gesicht und ein ziemlicher Draufgänger. Es war spät am Freitag Abend und ich saß wichsend vor dem PC und sah zu wie...
True to her word, as soon as Beth had regained her pose from the first spanking administered to her by her roommate, she promptly switched places with her. Just a few short moments later, and it was now Beth that had administered a good hard spanking to Misty. To be sure, both of their bottoms were sore, but they also had, for the first time, experienced what it was like to be the one giving a spanking, rather than just the recipient. It gave them each an exhilarating feeling of power, unlike...
SpankingAnna has me come over. She tells me it's been days since I had sex with her, and she understands. I'm not so young, I can't fuck as often as the younger men, but that's okay. She enjoys it very much when I just watch her playing with herself, when I help her pleasuring herself. She likes sucking on me, she likes me inside her even if I don't want to fuck her hard and come inside her.She then says she wants me to do something special just for her. She will suck me until I'm hard, and then...
Visitors By J. Setak This story that I am about to re-tell to you is the events of June 23rd 2050. It was/is a day that shook the world as you are about to hear... Chapter 1: I had finished school for the summer. I loved summer holidays so much. Just last month I had finished my exams for secondary education, and me and my mates had gone and got so drunk in the middle of the park. We had hung round there until the red sun had hidden behind the horizon, which turned out to be...
If you saw a SpaceShip land nearby, and the doors opened, and a ramp lit up invitingly at your feet; would you step inside? Satisfy your curiosity and go in to meet the Visitors? Crazy question; i know... but this is exactly what happened to me just 3 days ago.. if you are ever going to hear my tale.. let alone believe it.. then you must accept the whole of it.. and not some random parts of it to be true.. for everything that i experienced upon that fantastic, and futuristic...
The first indication I had that something was wrong came when the two security cameras at the cabin showed someone was poking around. The cabin cameras were low priority. Alpha monitored them, but just barely. One of her security systems would spare a few milliseconds of attention every five minutes or so to make sure nothing had changed. One camera's field of view included some of the driveway and the spot where we would leave our DC superheroines to wake up. The other camera showed the...
Ty was sitting in the library enjoying a drink. He was reading one of Willow’s many books. She had a whole section on Nordland and Ty was brushing up on their history, as they were the dignitaries that were coming for the Winter Season. The fields were bare, and they had already had a light smattering of snow. As soon as the product was packed into the crates, they would head to Bavindor. One of the big barns was heated, and the bags of leaves were packed flat in set weights, on the racks...
By two thirty in the morning I was sitting next to Anne on the patio and we were drinking coffee and chatting about the night's activities. My father was in bed snoring his head off and Connie's room was burning the only light in the house while she was in the company of Michael who at her insistence had decided to spend the night. I was wearing a pair of cream coloured slacks and a yellow sports shirt while Anne was dressed in the white skirt and matching bolero jacket Connie had dressed...
Mark Two weeks before the Grand Opening of the Club Infinity, I stood in the middle of the dance floor and looked around at the beehive of activity going on around me. Elsa and Stacy stood on the stage with a tall handsome man named Lee Olerich – the new club manager that Stacy had hired on my behalf. They were auditioning female and male strippers. Stacy had a clipboard with one page for each girl or guy who had applied to her ads. There was a boom box on the corner of the stage with...
The shrill chirping of a bird outside the window brought me into that halfway state between sleep and wakening, and I felt Carol spooned behind me with her breasts pressed up against my back and her arm wrapped around my chest. It felt so good - I had forgotten how good it felt to cuddle, just sharing skin and couldn't remember just how long it had been... Then she moved her hand to caress my breast, thumb and finger teasing my nipple and I could feel my clit engorging, my nether lips...
Amy was waiting for her at the appointed spot. Beneath the coat Prudence could see the younger woman was wearing black nylons and black shoes with heels far too tall for anyone’s comfort. The two females hugged. “So do we take a bus, or should we call a taxi?” Prudence asked.“No point,” Amy said. “It’s not far at all. This way.”She set off down the street, Prudence falling into step beside her. How could the girl walk so fast in those shoes?“So how are you feeling?” Amy asked.“Nervous,”...
HardcoreHere is another adventure that Melly and I had while on vacation. It isthe only threesome that we have ever had (together). I don't know why wehaven't done it again, we just haven't. As always I would love to hearfrom anyone that would like to write. If you do write I promise that Ialways return e-mails,A Genny story.... PrudenceI am Genny.It was the second winter that Melly and I lived together. We were lookingto escape the Michigan cold, and Melly has a cousin Joe that works in DisneyWorld...
LesbianBobby told her that the paint would have to dry before they could assemble everything into the door opening and suggested that, if she had anything else to do, that would be a good time to do it. She decided on getting lunch started, and began peeling potatoes. While she did so, her mind whirled. She had never thought about things like Bobby had laid them out. Being honest with herself she admitted that, back then, she’d known, or at least hoped she was good looking. Harry had swept her...
Brownie, Coop and I met in fourth grade and had been friends ever since. Ms. Zimmerman was unconventional and arranged the students alphabetically by first name instead of last name like all the other teachers, so we three boys named Matthew got put at the same table. For a while, we tried calling ourselves "Matt," "Matty" and "Matthew," but that didn't stick. For the most part we were "Matt B.," "Matt C." and "Matt R." I kind of liked that, because my name came out sounding like...
Pouting Prudence Carmenica Diaz 'This is nice,' Prudence purred, wriggling against me in the front seat ofthe car. It was very nice indeed. Prudence was delicious and not at all, I found, a prude in any sense. Prudencewas, in the words of the itinerant mail-boy who pushed the trolley betweencorporate floors, a horny little slut who looked like she could suckyour cock through your trousers! It was an accurate description. Dark hair, red lips that always pouted anda slow wriggling walk that...
Author's note: Hi! This is my first story so I hope you all enjoy it. Feel free to leave any feedback both good and bad. I really enjoyed writing this! Also this story draws heavy inspiration from "The Humiliation of Jane" No copyright infringement is intended. It's just my interpretation of a pretty cool story. Oh and one more thing: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE feel free to add new chapters to this story. Let's see what kind of humiliation we can put poor little Becky through! Enjoy! Rebecca was...
Mind ControlWhile we were resting on our marital bed there after two hours of good sex; I asked my sweet Ana why she was so horny. She smiled and admitted she was so wet and horny because one of her good girlfriends, Laura, had told her she was dating a black man on the west side of town.I thought this bitch Laura was happily married; but Ana told me she was going to split up with his husband…She and Ana were close friends and then my loving wife was shocked about the thought of Laura fucking a black...
Ana in the hands of three rude black menWhen living in Savannah, sometimes the air was so warm during the summer nights. One Friday night Anita and I went to bed and we opened the windows to let some breeze blow through the house. We were in bed starting a nice sex session, when suddenly I had an incredibly strong hand reach around my head and clamp itself over my mouth. As my eyes flew open, I saw another hand covering Ana’s mouth.Before I could react, I was quickly pulled from on top of my...
Chapter 3: A Rude Awakening Several hours later, both Toppsy and Lulu had been transported from the mainland to the Island by Ramirez. Jordan and the two girls who had spent the night on the mainland carried the two buxom dancers into the main auditorium with help from some of the other girls on the Island. A large mattress had been set up in the auditorium for Toppsy and Lulu to lie out on. Both girls had been stripped naked, and were lying on their backs. Both girls' arms had been...
Rude Awakening By Rosie I wake up, though I don't feel as alert as usual. In fact, it takes me a while, even with my eyes wide open, to realize that I'm in fact awake, not dreaming. There's a sense of chill to my skin, round my midriff and legs. It's nothing new to me, my pajamas have a habit of riding up. The top part has a habit of bunching up above my stomach and the bottoms tend to rise up to my knees. Somehow today, it seems today that the legs have hiked up even more and I'm...
Ayeka stood, slightly stooped over eyes closed, totally out of breath. Slowly, methodically the princess began taking deep 'lung-fulls' of air. Sara, at that moment being the closest to the stairs stood blinking at the young woman's sudden appearance. Glancing then back along the ancient flight to a curious a trail of dust still spiraling, linking the front of the distant house to the top step of the shrine. "Who is that?" Yoshi asked voice brimming with awe, still standing over where...
Jake’s dreamed of him and Catherine standing on the bridge of the Karenna sailing the skies. In the dream, Catherine was holding their infant son. The eels were there along with many tiny eels floating around them. The dream changed, Jake was laying in his bed. Catherine was lightly stroking his face. Then she kissed him and covered him with a blanket. The dream ended and he drifted deeper into slumber. He was awoken by a knock on his cabin door. Jake sat up looking around. It took a few...
"I'll take care of your coat for you, Prudence," I offered as I helped her remove her fur jacket. "Thanks, Mike," she smiled. "I'll see you at the bar after you've finished that little chore." That was when I noticed Steve Watkins and Barry Reynolds standing between me and the coat room. I could barely conceal my distaste as I attempted to walk around them to hang Prudence's fur. "Did I hear you call your wife 'Prudence', Mikey?" laughed Steve. "That's a name you don't hear very often. In fact,...
Wife LoversPrudence@Wolf Prudence Harper kept telling herself that she wanted nothing to do with this big Wolf, of all the curious and unrespectable names! She fidgeted at the table while he was gone. Then, seeing that he did not return immediately, she helped herself to the curried meats and ate ravenously. She was glad he was gone, glad that the door was closed between them, cutting him off from her naughty, disobedient body. But, oh God, she had to admit as the food made her feel more content, he sure...
I glanced over at her for the fiftieth time. Two rows ahead of me, two machines to the left. I quickly forced myself to look back at the row of TVs hanging from the ceiling, not wanting her to catch me looking at her again. Not that she had any idea I was even alive, mind you, maybe I was more afraid of being embarrassed by someone else catching me ogling the ultra-fit redhead with the ponytail effortless gliding away on the elliptical machine. So instead I kept sneaking peeks every 30 seconds....
The next morning James woke us up for the final time. Madoka had fussed during the night when she was hungry, but each time I managed to fall back to sleep. Beside me, I could hear Kitty and Brittany complain mildly about the movement. James, however, would not be denied. "Sorry my loves, but the AI just said that Bethany is awake, and I thought I'd collect her. Janice, I'm sorry I couldn't come and collect you when you woke," he said as he left the room at a near run. "Hey, I woke up...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Life settled down again once Tintagel Castle left for home. As expected, Brent's retest scored him as a five nine and James quickly ordered him thrown in a recycler. After that, the citizens appeared to be concentrating on the slow expansion of the colony and setting up the new living area for visiting crews. The musical practice was now all about perfecting the dances and singing. As we could all see it coming together there was a contagious enthusiasm creeping into the concubines. Anytime...
Just then the AI started to sound an alert. "We have ship entry jump points forming." "One or two," James shouted as he stood up, carefully lifting me up and setting me down as he did. "Three," the AI stated. "One is along the vector leading to Borneo. The other two ships jumped from within Sa'arm controlled space." My master barely paused. "Tyson, Linus, to the gun controls. I'll take laser one, gunners, get to the laser chambers and suit up. Tam, Tif, get to the command center...
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...
"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...
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...
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...
