   Raptor Squadron Chapter 4

   They had just gotten naked; in spite of the fact they never stopped
kissing.  Ian was about to lift his very aroused wife and put her on the
bed, when his communit beeped at him urgently.

   Cindy groaned, and Ian said, "I'll kill whoever it is." He stepped back
from her, and quickly caught his breath.  He raised his wrist to his face;
"Williams."

   "My deepest apologies for interrupting you sir, but there are three
techs up here from engineering needing access to your office." Star said.

   "Three?" Ian asked.

   "Yes sir, one was sent by the Engineer to fix your ventilation system,
and the other two are here on the orders of Janet Laskar.  She told them
you had a special duty for them."

   "Shit that was fast.  Okay Star I'll be up there shortly, tell them to
stand by." Ian replied.

   "Yes sir."

   Ian lowered his wrist, and looked the nude vision in front of him. 
"Cindy, I know what your about to say, but trust me, I will explain all of
this as soon as it's safe to do so.  This is extremely important.  I need
two of your people, in combat armor with side arms, to meet me at my office
in five minutes." He was dressing as he talked to her.  She opened her
mouth to say something, but he stopped her.  "Honey, I love you and trust
you completely.  This is a matter of life and death, I will tell you
everything, but please, don't ask questions right now, and follow my
orders. Right now your team members are the only ones I can trust to do
this.  Please just give the orders." She nodded, and stepped away to issue
the commands.

   She got dressed too and moved to accompany Ian when he left.  "Where do
you think you're going?" He asked.

   She smiled at him.  "Following implied orders.  You need a guard for
some reason; I'm it until Ben and Jerry arrive."

   "Thanks, but you don't have a weapon, you won't be much of a guard." Ian
smirked

   "Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence.  Let's just hope I'm not
needed." Cindy said.

   Ian shrugged, and figured that it was an argument he wouldn't win in the
next 60 seconds.  He turned and they headed back to his office.

   They arrived to find Ensign Beloh and two others waiting outside his
office chatting.  As he approached, they all came to attention.

   "As you were." Ian said.  "Ensign, nice to see you again.  I don't
believe I've met either of you." He said as he held out his hand.

   "No sir, This is Lt.  Jolin, life support services, and Ensign Flare,
hyperdrive theory.  Both arrived the day before we launched." Ensign Beloh
made the introductions

   "I'm pleased to meet you.  This is my mate, Major Williams." Ian
finished.

   "Sir, the Engineer filled me in on what the problem was, he is very
concerned about it spreading to other areas, and would like me to check the
command section crew area's before returning to engineering."

   "Of course, Ensign.  Is there anything I can do to make life easier for
you?" Ian asked with a half smile.

   "Well sir, perhaps Commander Star could assist me?  She knows these
ducts and conduits better than anyone." Beloh suggested.

   Ian had led the way into his office, and toggled the intercom. 
"Commander Star, please report to my office." He turned to the two other
engineers.  "So both of you are from New Talos?" He asked.

   Jolin answered.  "No sir, Flare is from New Talos, but I am from
Hyperion." She said.

   "Hyperion?  Isn't that behind enemy lines?" Ian asked, surprised. 
Hyperion had fallen almost twenty years before, and the Lieutenant didn't
look older than 18.

   "My family fled during the first attack.  I was very young and don't
remember much about it.  Two of my mothers and one brother died that
night." She said.

   "My apologies for bringing back old pain; I'm sorry for your loss." Ian
answered as the door announced a visitor.

   "Come." Ian said.  Star walked in and Ian quickly filled her in on
Ensign Beloh's request.  She agreed, and the two of them left.  Cindy had
noticed Ben and Jerry standing in the hall outside and she moved to speak
to them quietly.  All three of them came back into Ian's office.

   "Well, the reason I asked for two engineers is because the Major had an
idea about the combat suits.  She tried to explain it to me, but said it
would be better to just show us all at the same time.  Major, would cargo 3
be enough room for your demonstration?" Ian prayed she would at least just
follow his lead if not figure out what was going on.

   "Yes sir; that should be perfect." Turning to the two engineers, she
continued.  "This shouldn't take long, and I really want to thank you for
indulging me for a few minutes." Though the comment was totally irrelevant
as the chief engineer had ordered them here, it made it sound like they had
come voluntarily.  Her words also seemed to put them more at ease as if
they knew that the other was a spy.

   As they walked Cindy began describing her idea.  Her idea?  Ian listened
closely as Cindy related a supposedly fictitious plan to trap the two
engineers.  She was explaining about the situation they had found
themselves in after setting down on the small moon.  They had to repair the
Raptor, but couldn't touch the craft while they were still in contact with
the moon's surface.  Ian was amazed at her ability to adlib.  The whole
thing sounded perfectly normal.

   Once the entered the small cargo bay, Cindy spoke to the computer. 
"Emergency Secure.  Command epsilon four-four-niner-three.  Damocles
personnel only." She walked over to the replicator, "Authorization for food
and atmosphere only"

   "Authorization confirmed.  Lockdown confirmed." The computer answered.
Then a few seconds later; "Intrusion detected."

   Cindy looked surprised.  "Isolate, and identify."

   "Identity confirmed.  Class nine Talosian surveillance drone. 
Self-distruct neutralized.  Unit in stasis."

   "Class nine?" Cindy asked, as tractor beam lowered the unit to the
floor. She looked at Ian.  "The latest we know of is class six."

   Cindy and Ian walked over and knelt down to look at the unit.  It was
small and built like a spider.  It was mechanical in appearance, but still
had six legs and a central body like a spider.

   "I'm learning there are a lot of things we don't know about.  AT least
the computer knew what this was.  I wonder what else it knows?" Ian asked.
"We may need to question these two more later, but I am waiting for a
report from the ones that caught them.  I know your team is tired from your
mission, but I haven't had a chance to get our own security people checked
out yet.  Can you guys handle this for me until I do?  It shouldn't be more
than a day." Ian asked.

   "Yes sir, we can." Cindy said.  She turned to Ben and Jerry, "You two
okay for an eight hour stretch?" They both nodded.  "Good.  We don't know
what these drones are capable of yet, or if there are more like these two
loose on the ship.  So I want you both on closed systems, and set up a dead
man alarm on the alert frequency.  Call a domestic for their sanitary
needs, but make sure it passes threw the shield by it's self.  If anyone
wants to see these two, call either Ian or me.  Got it?" They nodded again.
She winked at them, and walked back through the special shield with Ian.

   ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---

   Consciousness returned slowly.  He could tell he must be really hurt
because the fuzzy feeling of a pain killer was trying to keep him asleep.
He clawed his way up from the darkness to find he was in the medical
section.  What had happened to him?  He must really be busted up if they
were trying to keep him sedated.  No matter, he had to find out what was
going on in the Rataac sector.

   "My Lord!  Please!  Don't try to move.  We have immobilized your hips
and upper body so the bones will knit." Someone said, coming closer to him.
"You really should stay unconscious until it's safe for you to move."

   Shalo opened his eyes to see the chief medical officer standing over
him. "Wha...  Happen?" He managed to croak out.

   "I informed Glump that the sensors indicated your glutanisomine levels
where critically high.  She was lowering them when the toxin affected her
as well.  She is in the bed beside yours.  We are trying to counter the
effects but are not having very good luck.  I afraid she is dying my lord.
She was trying to save your life, now it looks like it will cost her own."

   Shalo licked dry lips, trying to speak.  The doctor placed a straw at
his lips; after a couple swallows he pulled it away.

   "Doctor, you need to let me awaken at least every morning so I can hear
reports, and make decisions.  I won't try to move until you tell me I can.
Now please send for the officer in charge to brief me.  If you want to help
Glimp, roll her over and position her in a kneeling position and strap her
down.  Let her wake up and get two phallises.  Once she is awake begin to
use them on her.  It works on a male, since she is having a male reaction,
it makes sense that it should work on her." He suggested.

   "As you wish, My Lord, but she has considerable vaginal tearing.  She
was too small to take you, and neither of you could stop.  We forced the
skin back together so she is larger but the repairs are still week." Then
the doctor realized what Shalo had told him.  "Two my lord?  What is the
second for?"

   "How did you get to be Chief Medical officer if you are really that
dumb? It's for her rear you idiot." Shalo growled at him.

   "My Lord!  That is for you only!  We cannot do that!  It violates every
tradition we hold dear!" The doctor replied, shocked.

   Shalo sighed, he was starting to feel the pain.  "Leave the curtain open
and I'll watch, I can't exactly do it myself, so that will have to suffice.
If it makes you feel better get a female nurse to actually do it; she can
be my proxy.  It may be the only way to bring her out of this." So I can
have her shot later, he added to himself.  He took some delight in the
image of Glump tied to the bed and get double fucked into orgasm after
orgasm.  Her too proud face contorted in submissive passion.  Maybe I won't
have her shot after all.  He thought.

   The doctor ordered his staff about and sent one nurse after the dildo's.
A nurse handed him a message.  He read it then turned back to Shalo who was
watching as Glump was rolled over and tied back down; her ankles tied at
the sides of her bed: spreading her open for the violation she was about to
receive.

   "My Lord, Commander Twell will have a report ready for you in an hour.
He was unprepared for you to be awake this soon, but will have one ready
from now on.  He apologizes for the delay." The doctor said.

   Shalo nodded absently, his interest was on the bed next to him.  Glump
was slowly beginning to wake up.  The doctor noticed his preoccupation.

   "Remember my lord, she is still very much under the influence of the
toxin.  She will be a vile creature until those toxins are removed.  I hope
you do not mind if I remain as well, this is the first time I have ever
heard of a female suffering from this."

   "What do you mean `first time' there are other half breeds, thousands of
them." Shalo asked.

   "Her body doesn't actually produce glutanisomine on its own, and as far
as I've heard she is the first to actually ingest it, not to mention taking
it in her womb." The doctor explained.

   The nurse had returned with the dildo's and quickly motioned to get the
doctors attention.  He moved off to one side to speak with her.

   The two nurse that had been getting Glump ready, took the dildo's and
set to work getting them and their patient lubricated.  From the smell in
the air, Shalo knew the dildo's and Glump were not the only things in the
room getting lubricated.

   The doctor turned back to his monitoring computer and typed quickly for
a moment then frowning slightly typed in a few more commands.  He finished
up and called everyone in the room over to Shalo's bed.

   "My Lord, please forgive the familiarity of this.  Before we begin
Glumps...  treatment, I feel I should tell everyone here that there are
more than sufficient pheromones in the room to have everyone very aroused;
this adds more pheromones making things worse.  It is very likely that
everyone in this room is going to have sex.  We need to remember this is
only a side effect of trying to save Glump's life." Looking to the nurses,
he continued.  "I will speak to the heads of your families on your behalf.
However, if this is troubling to you, please leave now as it will only get
worse.  It is very likely that our judgment has already been affected.  I
have set the computer to monitor the room, and to ventilate should the
levels get to high."

   "Why don't you ventilate now, Doctor?" Shalo asked.

   The doctor nodded in understanding.  "I considered it, but the
pheromones should aid in keeping Glump aroused enough for this to work. 
Now, My Lord, One of the nurses, will also give you relief.  You can't
move, nor can you take any pressure on your hips.  So she will use her
mouth and hands on you.  This is also necessary because you will also need
to keep the toxin level down and this much arousal has already begun to
increase them.  I have already placed a control block on you so it feels
like you are paralyzed from the waist down, however you can still feel. 
Are there any other questions before we begin?" Glump was conscious and
mumbling a constant string of obscenities.  One nurse pulled down the
covering on Shalo as the other two returned to Glump's side.  Shalo watched
these two closely; he did want to miss even one second of what was about to
happen to her.  The first nurse lined up with Glump's drooling sex.  She
slid the fake cock into Glump, who moaned loudly.  The second nurse began
peeling the uniform off the first, getting her naked.  She caressed the
skin as it was exposed, and kissed the nurse lightly on the back of the
neck before backing away and stripping herself.  The first nurse moved
around to the end of the bed, momentarily blocking Shalo's view.  The
second nurse climbed up on the bed.  It was then that Shalo noticed the
dildo she carried was one of those that had two ends.

   Glump was rocking back and forth helping the nurse the was fucking her.
Shalo watched as the second nurse stepped over the arm fucking Glump so she
was straddling the upraised ass.  He felt a small hand wrap around his own
hard tool and stroke him as the nurse inserted the dildo into her own sex,
pushing it in and out a few times.  He was stroked in the same speed as her
insertion.  The other end of the dildo was placed against Glump's rear
passage and Shalo felt something warm pressed against the end of his shaft.

   He groaned as the nurse pushed into Glump's rear.  He felt the tight
ring on his own member as the shaft was slowly pushed in.  Glump was loudly
cursing and violently trying to get more of both cocks into her.  He felt
the nurse start to suck him as Glump began taking it up her ass.  The nurse
was timing her sucking with Glump's fucking.  The first nurse began to
alternate her thrusts with the second nurse; pushing is as the second
pulled out.

   Shalo glanced down to his own servicing in time to watch his nurse
indicate to the doctor to take her ass as well.  He groaned, he was well on
his way to orgasm, and much more of this would put him over.  Glump's
moaning brought his attention back to her bed.  She was shacking as her
first orgasm tore through her body, neither of her assailants slowed down,
it actually looked like they were fucking her more vigorously now than
before.  The nurse with the dildo in her pussy was cuming too and she
shuddered while she continued to fuck Glump's ass.

   Shalo grabbed the back of his nurses' head and pushed her down to his
root as he began to spray into her throat.  He felt pain from his ribs and
immediately let go of her, but she stayed there, her swallowing motions
helping too erase the pain.  She was shaking as she had an orgasm.

   The nurse with the dildo in Glump's pussy, touched the second on the ass
signaling her.  The second nurse left the dildo in Glump's ass and pulled
herself off of it.  She climbed down, and walked over to Shalo's bed.  His
nurse released him, but kept stroking him to keep him hard.  She kissed her
workmate and said something to her as they handed off his throbbing shaft.
His nurse moved over to Glump's bed and took over from the first nurse who
climbed onto the bed.  The whole thing was repeated, except the nurse
pushing into Glump's pussy leaned forward to lick her friends ass.  Glump
was screaming in orgasm as the upper nurse also screamed and grabbed
Glump's hips to thrust harder into her.  The lower nurse moved her tongue,
but replaced it with a finger.

   As Shalo was shooting another load, this time down the second nurse's
throat, he felt a soft breeze.  Glump was screaming constantly in orgasm
but he thought he heard the ventilation system anyway.  That was the last
thing her heard as he slipped into unconsciousness.

   ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---

   "Star, we have a problem." Ian mumbled into her ear.  They had found
Star and Ensign Beloh in his office when they returned.

   "Yes sir, we do." She said in return.  "There is something here that can
elude my sensors.  Something that moves when ever we get close to it." She
said back.

   "We caught one in cargo three.  The computer identified it as a class
nine surveillance drone.  So the data on them must be in the computer
system somewhere." Ian whispered to her.

   She looked worried, glanced at Cindy, turned and put her arms around
Ian's neck.  "Talking looks less suspicious this way.  Sir, I am the
computer!  How can data exist that I do not know about?"

   "I don't know Star, but I want you and Bill to find out.  This is far
deeper than we originally thought.  Class nine's aren't even supposed to
exist.  I think we should send Ensign Beloh down to examine the one we
caught, maybe between the two of you, we can figure out a way to counter
these.  Until then, I guess I'll have to take you as a lover." He winked.
"Since it's the only way we can talk."

   She looked like a child on Christmas morning.  "But, sir, Cindy has not
agreed yet." She said, almost stuttering.

   "Huh?  What are you talking about?" He said.

   She blushed, Ian was amazed at the level of complexity built into her
body.  "Uh, I was the one petitioning your services, sir.  I thought your
wives told you." She looked down, hiding her eyes.

   Ian brought her chin back up and looked into her eyes.  "I am honored. I
would have agreed immediately if I had known it was you asking." He leaned
forward and kissed her softly on the lips.

   She sighed softly and laid her head on his shoulder when he broke the
kiss.  "Thank you, Ian.  I only wish you could get me pregnant.  You are
the best man I've ever known."

   Ian held her for a minute, and said, "As much as I hate to let you go,
we both have a lot to do before we get to rest tonight.  Janet had a
premonition that we will explode when we jump back into normal space, so we
have about three days to find and neutralize the problem."

   "Yes, I should go talk to Chief Laskar.  Can I ask the Major to
accompany me?  I would like to ask her permission."

   "Sure, she should escort Ensign Beloh to Cargo three anyway." Ian
replied.  "Since I normally call it a day at 1700hrs, I think I should try
to stick to that schedule.  It would arouse less suspicion that way.  So
I'll be in my quarters."

   "With any luck, I'll meet you there." Star replied, and kissed him again
before releasing him.

   After the three had left, Ian sat down to compose a text message to
Admiral Goya; he might not know about the drones.

   ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---

   Ian had developed a taste for beer, but worked with the computer to
synthesize the taste of the alcohol, with out actually having any in it. 
He ordered one when he got to his quarters; it was quiet since he was the
first one there.  He asked for classical guitar music, and sat down in the
living room to relax.

   How many of those drones were loose on the ship?  He had no way of
knowing.  They had to have a central reporting point; somewhere they could
download their data too; a unit that small couldn't have enough memory for
more than a days worth if information.  So where was the hub?  He found
himself thinking in circles.  Okay, what do we know?  There is a group of
people, highly placed people that wanted to discredit or destroy the Sol
sector.  They had access to prototype equipment, as well as the blueprints
of the new Star Dancer.  They wanted to either kidnap or destroy Star
and/or himself.  This mission took them by surprise, and they hadn't been
ready to act.  Janet's vision of Star Dancer exploding when she dropped out
of hyperspace seemed to indicate that those onboard were acting without
orders, or on `fall back' orders.

   Well the new Star Dancer was one very tough ship.  It was built to
withstand a pounding, so how could they blow her up with something small
enough that could have been carried onboard?  The only thing Ian could
think of would be an explosion of the primary reactor.  However that was
triple shielded and sealed.  There were always techs in engineering, the
reactor was always monitored.  True two of those captured had been techs,
but they couldn't have done this on their own, could they?  Ian simply
didn't have enough information.

   He remembered it was his night to `cook' and so got up to order their
dinner.  Placing it on hold, he drained his beer, placed the empty bottle
in the replicator slot, and went to take a shower.

   He was rinsing his hair when he felt a soft pair of lips wrap themselves
around his flaccid cock.  He smiled and before he could open his eyes,
someone pulled his head down for a kiss.

   "Talena tells me Beth really missed me.  So, I think maybe I should
spend some extra time with her tonight." Cindy said after she broke the
kiss.

   "I was going to suggest it before, but we got interrupted." Ian replied.
Knelt down in front of him; Talena chuckled.

   "Well, since we don't really have time to do much before dinner, I
thought I would sneak in here for some dessert first.  That is if Talena
leaves me any!" Cindy chuckled and caressed the beautiful silver hair. 
"Besides, I think you have company tonight!" and she winked at him.

   "Cindy, I was hoping tonight, we could all welcome you home.  I love
Star, but I thought tonight should be for just us." He said; a little
disappointed.

   "Ian honey, I love you all and missed you, but Mom needs me tonight. 
Besides, when I finally get to turn loose on you, it better be the night
before a rest day!" Then she knelt to take over from Talena who stood to
kiss Ian.  The amount he had to bend to kiss her soon became uncomfortable,
and Cindy deep-throating him soon became un-controllable.  She pulled back
to catch his seed in her mouth, then stood and kissed Talena to share it
with her.  Ian just leaned back against the shower wall to recover as he
watched the two lovers kissing passionately, vigorously frigging each
others clits.  He watched as the both seem to come at the same time,
shaking and shivering; moaning loudly into the others mouth.

   "Wow, you two seem to have hair triggers tonight." Ian commented.  They
smiled at him, and shooed him out of the shower while they finished theirs.


   Ian returned to the bedroom, and slipped on a pair of shorts and t-shirt
before heading back out to the living room.

   Beth and Jenny where on the floor playing with the kids so Ian joined
them.

   "Hi honey, you look tired; you have a long day?" Beth asked.

   "More like a stressful one, but yeah, it was long too." He said.

   She waited for him to continue, but when he didn't, she let the matter
drop.  There were some things he couldn't talk about that dealt with his
work, so she didn't pressure him.

   After he sat down, little Sean toddled over and held her arms up to her
daddy.  Though all the children liked to sit in his lap, Sean was the most
adamant about it.  When ever he sat down at home, she tried to get into his
lap.  Smiling, he lifted his pretty little girl onto his lap and she
quietly snuggled into his ribs.

   "I've got dinner ready; I hope steak is okay with everyone?" He asked.

   "Damn." Beth said.  Jenny got huge grin on her face.

   "Huh?  We can change it, I just couldn't think of what everyone wanted
so I ordered that." Ian explained.

   "No, Jenny and I had a bet as to what you would order us for dinner.  I
lost." She explained, smiling.  "If you choose to call that losing, and I
don't." She leaned over and gave Jenny a kiss on the lips.

   "A bet huh?  What did ya lose?" Ian asked

   "I have to be her sex slave for a night of her choosing." Beth said. 
"As I said, `If you call that losing'."

   Ian chuckled, "Well, as soon as our two little nympho's are out of the
shower; dinner's ready."

   "Who're you callin' little?" Cindy said from the hall.  She walked out
wearing a bikini top and a translucent, wrap-around, sarong style skirt. 
Since it was see through, it was clear she wasn't wearing anything else
under it.

   Awed silence greeted her appearance.  Her smile grew as she looked at
the faces of her lovers.  She walked slowly across the room to Beth, and
took her mother by the hand.  She bent down and softly brushed her lips
across Beth's.  "Let's eat, I'm very hungry." She said, but only looked
into Beth's eyes.

   Talena was leaning against the wall by the hallway dressed in a pair of
very short cut off jeans, and a tiny halter top.  She was chuckling as she
watched Cindy's show.

   ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---

   Shalo awoke slowly.  Turning his head, he could see through the clear
oxygen curtain into the bay were Glump was getting fucked again by one of
the nurses.  There must also have been a noise block in place because it
looked like both the nurse and Glump were screaming in orgasm.

   "Doctor." Shalo called.

   The Doctor had been working at his desk a few feet away, and looked up.
He saw that his lord was awake, and immediately came over to the bedside.

   "I see your awake again, My Lord.  How are you feeling?" The Doctor
asked.

   "I bit like I have a hang over.  How long was I out this time?"

   "About three or four hours, My Lord.  Commander Twell has that report
ready for you when you feel up to it.  He is prepared to give it in person
as well, though I would recommend you use the visi-phone.  We have built up
a certain tolerance to the air in here, he would not have."

   "Very well, I'll take it in a few minutes.  Can I get something to drink
and maybe eat?  I am starving."

   "Of course you can have something to drink My Lord, but I have been
feeding you through the tubes.  Your injuries are such that expelling your
waste would be a very painful process, even with the blocks."

   "Fine, just get me something to drink." Shalo ordered.

   The Doctor left and signaled one of the two other nurses.  Shalo turned
his head and watched Glump and her new friend.  A presence beside him
brought his attention back to the side of the bed.

   "Water, My Lord Shalo.  Please drink it slowly." The nurse said.

   Shalo nodded, dismissing her.  He took a few sips of the cool liquid,
letting it trickle down his dry throat.  Then he reached for the
visi-phone.

   "Commander Twell, before we get to the Rataac sector, and I lose my
temper; give me the other reports first." Shalo said.

   "Yes, My Lord.  All other operations are on schedule and operation with
no problems of note.  The commander on Hyperion has requested additional
ground forces to quell an uprising that is forming; apparently he has lost
three treatment facilities due to bombings."

   The thought that the treatment centers where being targeted made Shalo
uneasy.  No one, not even his own troops knew the real reason for those
`treatment centers'.  "Has the commander mentioned why the centers have
been targeted?"

   "No, sir.  He notes that this behavior is very strange, since no attacks
have been made on the command or any military bases." Twell answered.

   "Very well, send him two companies of the ghost regiment here.  He is to
completely eradicate this threat.  No quarter is to be given."

   "Yes, sir.  I have two more reports.  The first is from a spy on New
Talos; He sent along a video that was broadcast to the populace a short
time ago."

   "Proceed Commander."

   Shalo watched as Star Dancer was launched from dry dock.  His mouth had
gone dry in shock.  The camera angle had shifted a few times during the
video.  The fact that the only thing visible of the huge ship after launch
was her running lights and engine flares did not escape his notice.  A cold
chill ran down his spine.  If the big ship, a battle cruiser it had been
called, could not be tracked in any other way, the Empire was in serious
trouble.  The person speaking had made a reference to another ship that was
about to launch as well.  Traditionally, anything called a battleship was
usually the largest class of the fleet.

   Shalo knew he had to report this directly to the Emperor.  This was far
too important to go through regular channels.  The official had said the
location; Sol sector research facility.

   The video had ended, "My Lord, the agent reports that there seems to be
something strange going on in regards to this new ship yard.  It appears
that not all the high command approves of the new ships.  They are claiming
that honor is more important, and the use of this technology is
dishonorable.  There is a motion before the Talosian counsel to censor this
Sol Sector research facility and force it to build only the weapons already
in use.  However, the location is still a closely guarded secret.  He is
continuing to look for it, and suggests that we prepare another agent to
`volunteer' to be a colonist."

   "Agreed.  Get started on that at once.  The location of this new
facility is a very high priority.  Also send me another assistant until
Glump gets up and around."

   "Yes, sir."

   "Now, I assume the last bit of news is from the Rataac sector?"

   "Yes, sir." Twell said.

   Shalo took a deep breath.  "Very well, proceed Commander."

   "As you expected, My Lord; the news is not good.  The attack fleet has
been seriously damaged.  The Treel has been destroyed, along with four more
of the light cruisers.  The report from the senior captain states that
until landing beacons came up, the only thing that could be detected were
four cloaked centurions.  Once those beacons came on the light cruisers
fired, but all missiles were destroyed before reaching their target.  Then
the light cruisers themselves were destroyed.  The heavy cruisers jumped to
assist, but as soon as they dropped from hyperspace, another large
hyperspace event was already forming.  The Treel, being the closest,
attempted pursuit, but suddenly exploded just sort of the event horizon. 
Analysis is convinced that it was the victim of cloaked nuclear mines,
though they have no proof.

   This leaves our force at two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and
five destroyers.  It should be noted that the cruisers have lost about half
of their fighters." The commander finished.

   "Added to the other fleet, it should still be enough of a force to
finish its mission.  However the element of surprise has been lost. 
Instruct them to co-ordinate with the other fleet, and jump into the midst
of the Talosian fleet, destroy it, and proceed to Benisia."

   "Yes, My Lord.  I will send an assistant right away."

   Shalo nodded, "Get those orders sent.  I'll talk to you again tomorrow,
but if something important comes up, let me know right away."

   "Yes, My Lord."

   Shalo broke the connection and turned to watch the nurse finishing up on
Glump.



   ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---



   Ian had never seen two people eat so fast in his life.  Beth and Cindy
ate the food placed before them in complete silence, but never really broke
eye contact.  They had both left the table ten minutes after sitting down.

   Jenny and Talena had to restrain themselves from laughing the whole
time. Once the door to the bedroom Beth and Cindy had entered had closed,
the two broke out laughing.

   "Damn!  I thought they were going to jump each other right here!" Jenny
said when she could speak again.

   Talena just nodded in agreement, since she was still laughing.

   "So, I have company tonight?  Do I need to ask who?" Ian asked.

   "I think you can figure that one out on your own." Talena snickered.

   "Okay, yeah, I think I can figure that out.  When does she get here?"

   Jenny glanced at her wrist, "Less talk, more eating.  Unless you don't
want to finish your dinner?" She said, arching one eyebrow.

   Chuckling, Ian bent over his food and started shoveling.

   A few minutes later the door chimed announcing a visitor.  Ian answered
it and led Star into the livingroom.

   "Am I early?" Star asked, catching a glance of the dirty dishes on the
table.

   "No, actually.  Your timing is perfect.  Talena will be out to clean
that up in a minute; she carried two of the kids back to get a bath with
Jenny." Ian told her.

   Star looked Ian right in the eyes, and said quietly, "Ian, I am a bit
nervous.  I have no idea what to do."

   Ian smiled at her, kissed her softly on the lips, and said, "Love; you
can do whatever you feel like doing."

   "Really?  There is so much I want to try, so much I want to feel and
experience...  with you." She said as she caressed his cheek.  "Perhaps we
can go to your bedroom?"

   Ian, still smiling, picked her up and carried her down the hall to his
room.

   Talena who had been quietly watching the pair as she cleaned up the
table, smiled as she watched Star lay her head on Ian's broad shoulder. 
`It's about time.' She thought to herself.  She finished up, and returned
to the bathroom.  Maybe there was enough room in the tub for her too.

   In the master bedroom, Ian carried Star to the big bed and placed her
gently down on the soft comforter.  He placed his lips on hers and kissed
her passionately; her arms pulling him closer to her.

   He finally broke the kiss, and looked down her body.  She was wearing a
loose gown, but Ian had never seen one like it before.  "I have no idea how
to remove this gown.  I almost don't want too, because it looks so good on
you."

   She beamed at him but said, "If that is the case I will never wear it
again!"

   She took his hands and pulled herself off the bed and turned to push Ian
back onto the bed.  He sat down and watched as she took a step back.  Her
eyes never left his face as she reached across her body with her left hand,
and slipped the gown off her right shoulder.  As she dropped her arm the
gown simply flowed off her body to pool silently at her feet.  Such details
Ian would remember later, for now his complete attention was captured by
the beautiful woman standing in front of him.

   She took a small step forward, out of her clothes, and stood, palms
turned out, one leg slightly cocked forward and watched the expression of
awe on Ian's face.  She realized her oxygen intake had increased to attempt
to cool the sudden warm feeling in her body.  Janet had told her that this
was, or should be, a normal reaction, and not to worry about it.  The fluid
leakage in her pubic area was normal too, and should, in fact, increase if
things go the way they should.  Her aural sensors registered a highly
increased amount of female pheromones in the air, and she wondered were
those had come from.

   Not wishing to spoil this moment, she shunted the information to a log
file that she could review later.  Now she wanted to get Ian naked.  She
had seen him naked before of course, but now was a very different
circumstance.  The thought of seeing his naked and aroused body seem to
increase the heat she was feeling.

   She stepped up to him, and kissed him softly on the lips as she grasped
the bottom of the shirt he was wearing.  She broke the kiss as she pulled
the shirt over his head.  She kissed and nipped her way down his chest, she
noticed that his breathing had increased too.  She felt his arms surround
her, and were he touched her she felt a tingling warmth the made her
tremble slightly.  She felt a new wave of moisture between her legs and
gently sucked his right nipple into her mouth.

   She was unsure of this action, but Lissa had told her it felt wonderful
when Sasha had done it to her.  Star heard Ian moan softly as she did it,
so she continued; her hands seeking out the waistband of his shorts.

   He removed his arms, so he could lift himself enough for her to pull
down his shorts.  She remembered, almost too late, to lift the front of his
shorts over his aroused penis.  Her eyes had fixed on the swollen shaft as
soon as she could see it.  Automatically she her eyes told her that he was
eight and three quarters inches long, and three and a quarter inches in
circumference.  She knew it would fit inside of her, but it would be tight.


   First however, she wanted to do something suggested by Andreya; her
daughter on Earth.  Andreya had also sent detailed instructions on how to
do it, but warned that every male would like different things.

   Star gently wrapped a hand around Ian's hard shaft, and slowly stroked
him.  She glanced up at his face and seen his eyes closed in pleasure.  She
smiled and leaned forward.  She softly kissed all the way down the
underside of his cock, and then drug her tongue back up to the tip.  She
then placed the head against her closed lips, and slowly pushed her face
onto his throbbing shaft, allowing her lips to part as he penetrated her
mouth.

   Not knowing any differently, she continued to push him inside her mouth
slowly slipping him down her through until she reached the base of his
cock. She then started to swallow, and caress the bottom of his shaft with
her tongue.

   "Oh my GODS!" Ian exclaimed.  He had never felt anything like this, and
he had some very talented wives.  She had taken him into her mouth once and
he was about to blow.  She was a natural.

   Star felt his cock shudder in his mouth, and felt his hands on her head.
The moisture between her legs was all but running out of her, and the heat!
It felt so good to have his cock in her mouth.  When she heard him groan
out those words she had almost had an orgasm herself!  She knew what it
felt like since she had masturbated, but this was by far much more
powerful.

   She began the slow slide off of him, and felt him shuddering.  He smelt
much stronger now, not that it was unpleasant.  His fragrance was very
pleasing to her.  As she pulled him farther out, she could taste his
pre-cum.  It was somewhat salty, but very pleasing as well.

   She placed her hand back around his cock, and slid it up to her lips,
which were wrapped around the head.  She then started to stroke him into
her mouth.

   It took about three strokes to set Ian off.  He warned her that he was
going to cum, but she just sucked harder, and stroked him faster.

   Ian groaned louder, and Star felt his cock grow slightly as he started
to pump his seed into her mouth.  She tasted him, and decided it was
probably one of the best things in the world.  She swallowed it, and sucked
for more.  Licking and sucking as the flow trickled out, she wanted every
drop of the stuff she could find.

   Ian was lying on his back panting off the after affects of the best
blowjob he had ever gotten.

   Ian raised his head to look down between his legs at Star.  "That was
fabulous!  But now it's your turn!" He said, sitting up.  He took Star in
his arms and kissed her passionately.  He caught the faintest taste of
himself on her lips but continued to kiss her, as he pulled her up and onto
the bed.

   He backed off the passion of the kiss long enough to get them lying
beside each other on the bed; his hands caressing and guiding her body. 
Once she was on her back beside him, he softly began kissing down along her
neck.  Her breathing was rapid, and he noticed the slight flush to her
skin. Her exotic scent filled his senses, and served to keep him aroused
and hard, as he rained kissed down her chest.

   Star was in an overload of sensations.  Ian's lips drew a path of liquid
fire down her neck, and across her chest.  That fire fed the inferno
between in her pussy, and she unconsciously rubbed her legs together adding
to the sensation.  Part of her mind was panicking about this intense
malfunction, but no system was registering a defect.  She forced the panic
away and embraced Ian, as his mouth sucked in her left nipple.

   Star arched her back as the first wave of orgasm flooded her senses.  It
was exquisite, but failed to wash away the feeling of his lips on her
nipple.  She felt the line of fire that was Ian's mouth moving across to
the other breast.  She could hear someone moaning loudly, and realized it
was her.  She also realized she was covered in perspiration.  She was so
hot!  Her mind instinctively reached out to the room controls, to lower the
temperature, as he sucked the other nipple into his mouth.

   She cried out, as again a small nova blossomed inside her brain and
pussy.  Her back raised off the bed and she writhed in flow of the orgasm.
Again Ian, didn't stay at her breast, but traced a fiery path down her
stomach to her drenched and throbbing sex.

   Though no one aboard had pubic hair, Ensign Beloh had included a thin
line of soft down just above her clit.  Ian nipped at this with his lips,
as he passed by, driving Star's excitement even higher and enticing her to
open her legs.

   Ian reached the smooth folds of her labia and traced the outline with
his tongue.  He didn't tease her very long; because she had been reacting
so strongly to his ministrations that he was afraid she might panic.  He
parted her nether lips with his tongue and slowly drew his tongue through
her slit.

   This was much better than the masturbation Lissa and she had done
together.  She could feel the fire growing beyond what she thought
possible, changing and evolving into something else.  She knew she would
come as soon as Ian touched her clit, but also knew that it wouldn't be
enough to quench the maelstrom of feeling and emotion that was slowly
overwhelming her senses.  Ian's tongue flicked over her clit and Star
launched off the bed, thrusting her hips up and crashed into orgasm again.
It was different this time, more intense, but shorter in duration.

   She lowered back to the bed, and looked down at Ian.  "Please, just make
love to me, I can't wait anymore."

   Ian moved up her body between her spread legs.  He placed himself at her
opening, and looked into her eyes.

   Star looked back, "I love you, Ian.  I think I always have.  I know I
always will." Before he could say anything in reply, she grabbed his hips
and pulled him into herself, pushing her pussy onto his hard shaft.

   Ian groaned as he felt her pussy opening to take him in.  She was very
tight.  He was amazed to feel his cock hit a barrier right after he entered
her.  Still she kept pushing, pulling him deeper into her.  Still looking
into each others eyes, Ian thrust his hips forward, and through her
barrier.

   The momentary twinge of pain she had felt was quickly washed away by the
intense desire for him to be inside of her.  She didn't even hesitate as
her hymen broke; she continued to pull him into her.  The roiling wave of
sensation building rapidly to a tempest was driving her along; she couldn't
stop now if she had to.



   At the other end of the ship, 2nd Lt.  Gail Ohmsfjord started receiving
calls at her engineering console.  She was almost panicking because it
seemed that the temperature throughout the ship had dropped to about 20
degrees in the span of just a few seconds.  Now on top of everything else,
The Bridge wanted to know why the speed was increasing.

   In desperation she called for the chief engineer, and the rest of the
engineering staff.  She reduced the power input to the Jump engines, and
tried, in vain, to reset the environmental controls.



   Ian slid all the way into Star, as tears of joy ran down her face.  He
began a slow rhythm, pumping into her tightening pussy.  She was so tight,
that he knew he couldn't last long, even at this pace.

   Star rocked her hips in time with Ian's thrusts, but the pace was to
slow for her, and she began to try to increase his thrusts.  Something was
keeping the pace maddeningly slow, and she was ready to explode.  She
wrapped her legs around Ian's back and started pushing hard against him;
wanting every once of power he could push into her.  Ian got the message,
and start to thrust as hard and fast as he could, his climax tearing
through his body as it rushed to pump every once of his essence out through
the end of his cock.  Star began to shudder as the blazing fire blossomed
into the bright whirling flare of a massive orgasm.  The waves of pleasure
crashing over her consciousness; shutting down system after system in
overload, didn't even frighten her.  Her avatar body reverted to its basic
autonomic functions, as Star's control over it dropped away.  To Ian, it
looked like she fainted, as he collapsed on top of her, almost losing
consciousness himself.  It took almost 45 seconds for his brain to register
the sounds of the alarms ringing throughout the ship.



   "What the fuck is going on?" The chief asked anyone who could answer
him. His immediate thought was those damn spy bugs had figured out what was
going on.  But why would the environmental controls go the fritz too?

   "I have no idea, Chief.  I was sitting here monitoring the console when
things just started freaking out." Gail said; she was almost in tears.  "I
reduced power to the jump drive, but the heating system won't respond."

   As if triggered by her words an alarm started blaring warning of a
reactor overload.  Both engineers looked at the controls on the consol as
they showed the reactor at 110% and all power governors on the armor
removed.  Speed had increased to dangerous, almost impossible levels.

   High up on the reactor core, something exploded in a shower of sparks,
and came crashing to the deck.  The ship itself was beginning to shudder.

   "Shut it down!  Emergency shut down now!" The Chief yelled.  Gail typed
in the commands to shut down all power.  The chief knew that dropping them
out of hyperspace was supposed to blow up the ship, but ten seconds more of
that amount of power, and it wouldn't have mattered.  "Damage control!  Get
to work!  Someone find out why every blasted alarm on the ship is ringing
and get them shut off!  I need answers people, and I need them fast!"



   Ian glanced at Star, still unconscious on the bed.  He hated to leave
her, but he had to find out what was going on.  He slipped on a pair of
cover-alls and opened the door, he almost ran into Jenny, who was dressed
like him, in a pair of cover-alls, and barefoot.

   He followed after her running for their personal lift to the bridge. 
"Any clue as to what the hell is going on?" She asked.

   "No, but I think maybe our friends are getting impatient about our
arrival at Sol sector." Ian replied as the lift doors closed.

   She was quiet, as they ascended to the bridge.  Ian knew Star had
briefed her on the sabotage attempt.  But just before the lift doors opened
to the bridge, she turned a slightly frightened face to her husband.  "Ian,
this whole thing scares the hell outta me."

   He put a hand on her shoulder, "Me too, love.  But we'll get through
it."

   Nothing more could be said as the lift doors opened and they had to
assume the rolls of captain, and admiral once again.



   ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---



   "Sirs, I have no explanation for the over-all malfunctions that effected
the ship.  However I do know what it wasn't." The Engineer reported to Ian
and Jenny in his office.  "It wasn't the sabotage we feared, since we are
still here, and we dropped out of hyperspace two hours ago.  In fact,
whatever caused the power spike in the main reactor and jump engines
destroyed the central hub for the spy drones.  It had attached itself to
the power conduits feeding the jump engines and the sudden increase in
power literally blew its mind.  We found it on the floor of engineering
right beside the core.  The control circuitry had been completely fried. 
Chief Laskar, and Ensign Beloh are analyzing it, but we hope to be able to
get its information.

   Since we have arrived back at Sol sector, they want us at Pleiades three
for repair to the armor.  I propose a complete level one diagnostic of the
entire control suite to isolate that problem.  I shudder to think of what
would have happened if we had been in combat."

   Ian thought for a moment, "Very well, but I want no one to come aboard
that hasn't been scanned by one of the mind readers.  We still have three
more bad guys to catch."

   "Two." Jenny said.  "They got another one late last night."

   The door chimed a visitor, and Ian said, "Come."

   Talena and a very subdued Star walked into the room.  Ian rose to take
Star into his arms.  "What's wrong?  You look like we lost the war!"

   "I, uh, have an explanation for the malfunctions." Star said quietly. 
She glanced at the Chief Engineer, and blushed.  "Chief, I am so sorry!"
Ian released her, but led her to a chair at the table.

   "Its okay lass, now why don't you tell us what happened?" The Chief said
with more kindness than Ian had ever seen from the man before.

   "I am afraid I was the malfunction." Star admitted.

   "Huh?  How could you be the malfunction?  You don't even have access to
those systems!" The Chief argued.

   Star took a deep breath, and plunged ahead.  "None of my children are as
intimately connected to a ship as I am to Star Dancer.  I am still
connected to every system on board, but denied access by the software
controlling them.  Last night I had sex for the first time.  I was unaware
of what was happening to the ship, but now that I look back through the log
files, I can see that I almost blew us up."

   The engineer looked totally unconvinced.  "Lady, how can you, having
sex, drive the reactor into overload?  Or lower the temperature ship wide?"


   "Chief, I had a huge orgasm at 11:47:22 hours last night.  What time
does your log tell you that overload occurred?"

   The chief looked down to the reports he was carrying, and paled.  "But
the temperature controls where acting up long before the reactor issue!"

   "I started having small orgasms long before the big one.  I remember
thinking how hot I felt, just before another one hit me.  My log files tell
me, I turned down the controls ship wide instead of just the room I was in
at the time." Star admitted.  She was hanging her head in embarrassment. 
"I had no idea this would happen.  I am very sorry, Ian."

   Silence followed her admission.  There was no way Ian could blame her
for this.  Disciplining someone because their orgasm was to strong?  How
ridiculous was that?

   "Star, you are not to blame for this.  No one could have anticipated the
affects that took place this evening.  I will speak to Chief Laskar about
correcting this problem without reducing your enjoyment of the experience.
I must say, that this is one hell of a compliment to your partner as well!"
Ian said.

   Both Talena and Jenny looked at him with wide eyes before busting out in
laughter.  Even the Chief was overcome with mirth enough to chuckle;
another first to Ian's understanding.

   "Lady, the admiral is correct; you are in no way to blame for this
mishap.  It is we who have failed you.  I will personally direct efforts to
correct this error as quickly as possible." The chief said, and rose from
his chair.  He glanced at Ian and Jenny, (who was still giggling).  "With
your leave?"

   Ian nodded, and Jenny waved agreement.  As he turned to the door, he
said, "If that was an orgasm, I'm damn glad she can't get PMS!" Everyone,
including Star laughed at his comment as he left.

   "Now we'll have to deflate his ego again!" Talena said to Jenny, but
gestured at Ian.

   "Jees!  Tell me about it!  But you have to admit, he does that to all of
us, every time, as well.  It's a good thing we're not connected to the
ship!" Jenny said.

   "Shhh!  You'll make him worse!" Talena cautioned.

   Chuckling, Jenny said, "Well, it's very early in the morning, and I
imagine we will be in meetings and the like all day tomorrow, so we better
get back to bed.  Though I think Talena and I are going to go with Ian and
you, Star.  Just to make sure he behaves himself!"

   "You want me to come back with you?" Star asked.

   "Of course!  The nights not over yet, besides, I have a feeling you will
be spending a lot more time at our place than at yours." Talena said, and
took her hand.

   They all made their way back to their quarters, and crawled into bed. 
Ian held Star spooned up against him, and she held Talena.  Jenny had got
in last, and snuggled up behind Ian.  It didn't take long before they were
all asleep.  Engineering noticed a slight increase in temperature through
out the ship, but didn't report it to the bridge.



   ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---



   "This is just so hard for me to accept!" Norek said.  Ian and Goya had
just finished telling her of the events of the last few days.  "I just
can't see why someone would want to do this!  It's suicide!  The Empire is
slowly beat us back, and someone is trying to destroy the only decent
research facilities we have?  Are you certain it couldn't be Imperial
spies?"

   "Absolutely certain, Norek.  All the technology used, not to mention the
personnel have been Talosian.  The information taken from the core unit
aboard the Star Dancer also confirms that it was programmed at fleet
intelligence headquarters.  This runs very deep into the command structure
of the federation Norek.  I honestly don't know how to fix this." Goya
admitted.  "I don't know who I can trust."

   "Trust is the issue.  We don't have that many that can read minds, and
using them like this really bothers them.  They have gone out of their way
to try to tone down their gifts so they don't read everyone they come in
contact with.  They consider it an invasion of privacy." Ian said.

   "Those damn probes running around don't help matters either." Pan added.

   "We may have a counter for those.  A couple of my people might have come
up with a hunter version of them.  I've been told it would be able to seek
them out and destroy them without the core unit knowing it.  I should know
more later today.  The Commodore has issued orders quarantining Sol sector.
No more ships from the federation are allowed to enter our space.  We will
get you all home, but the next step is breaking off relations with New
Talos.  We really don't want to do that, but we will if we have too." Ian
finished.

   "I truly hope it doesn't come to that.  We need you.  No matter what the
idiots back on New Talos say, we need you because we are losing the war."
Norek said.

   "We know where every person that came here from federation worlds is. 
While the isolation is in place, let's have all of them scanned.  Send a
Raptor team with each of the gifted, and get this sector secure again. 
Then we'll have to establish a `customs service' to screen in bound
personnel and cargo.  The only problem is: we really don't have the people
for it, and a determined smuggler will have a cloaked ship.  Besides, after
we release the cruisers that came here for re-fit, we'll only have three
ships to protect this system with; hardly enough to enforce a real
quarantine.  Hell, we don't even have enough pilots for all the fighters
yet." Ian said.

   "You'll get through this, Ian.  Perhaps you could recruit more from the
population of the planet?" Pan suggested.

   "We are already responsible for quite a few `missing persons' reports to
the authorities.  I don't know how much more we can do there without
someone getting suspicious."

   "I think perhaps I should get back, and see what's going on in the
counsel." Norek added.  "Maybe I can figure out some thing too."

   "I don't know how safe that would be for you, Norek.  My investigator
back on New Talos has mentioned ties in the counsel.  I would feel better
if you had some protection." Goya said.

   "The Prometheus can take me back.  She hasn't started her re-fit yet,
and her Raptor teams will be out of training this week.  Selena can take me
home." Norek suggested.

   "Well, if a cruiser can't protect you, then I guess you can't be
protected.  But I still feel uneasy about this." Goya said.

   "I'll make sure the orders are issued." Pan said.  "I would suggest,
Admiral, that we go with her and start our own house cleaning."

   Admiral Goya nodded.  "We'll take the prisoners with us.  The penalty
for treason is death, but I would feel better about a full trial.  If we
start kicking people out of the airlocks now, we could likely lose what
support we have left."

   "Well, if things go to hell for you, remember you are all welcome back
here." Ian said.  "But I really hope all does go well, and this is only one
small faction.  Otherwise, we are going to be on our own."
