2 Chapter 02

"What is happening?!" Briggs roared at the station tech as the lights and alarms blared out their warning.

"Gimme a sec!" the tech shouted back while he punched up several command sequences on the main console. "Oh shit! Someone's accessed and copied all of our files!"

"WHAT?!?!?" Briggs raged as he stepped forward to see for himself.

"Who did this?" asked Rat Face in his reedy, high voice.

"Checking now." The tech's hands were a blur as they obeyed his mind's command to check every avenue of infiltration. "It's not from inside the station, so it has to be a remote signal from somewhere..." the tech trailed off while furiously typing away at the console.

"Trace that signal, NOW!" Briggs shouted, breathing down the tech's neck and looming over him in an intimidating fashion.

"Think he needs persuading boss?" Rat Face asked with a smirk on his face while reaching for his pistol.

"We still need him to find out who breached our system. I thought you told me that this system was unhackable!" Briggs fumed while backing away. He gave the tech some room to work while shooting a glare at Rat Face, prompting him to move his hand from his weapon. Rat Face put his hands up in mock surrender, a gesture of compliance.

"Fair enough." he said while backing away.

"It is unhackable, unless you're better than me and have exotic toys to reach out and establish a secure link...." the tech looked at the radar holo, then punched in a few commands, having the station start a full scan of the surrounding space. At first, he couldn't see anything on the radar holo within range, other than their own ships. He was just about to give up when a ghostly single ping lit up the holo. It happened to be pulling away from the station, then faded after maybe a second.

"That has to be it right there!" the tech pointed at the holo.

Rat Face pulled his weapon from his holster and aimed at the tech's head, "I see nothing there boy, just your imagination." His finger danced on the trigger.

"Just wait!" The tech screamed while he was re-calibrating and focusing the station's sensor grid. Once he was done, the signal was little more than a ghost signature, but it was steady.

"Why would one of our ships be pulling away from the station so quickly?" he finished sarcastically, his voice trembling slightly.

"Boy, if you didn't have a much-needed skill set in that head of yours, you'd be a smoking corpse by now!" Briggs screamed at the tech who gulped and nodded in fear. The portly older man stepped over to the comm system and shouted out, "All ships, converge on that ship pulling away in sector thirty-seven! I repeat, converge on that ship pulling away in sector thirty-seven! Shoot to kill!"

******************************

The radar holo on the Darkstrider went red and lit up like fireworks as the computer confirmed that there were hostile targets bearing down on their position.

"Damn it!" Inari swore as they were making their way out of the immediate area to make the jump to hyperspace. "Nats, disconnect the stealth drive! Our cover is blown!" Inari barked over the intercom, shutting down the drive on the main console. It restored some power but not enough to get them out and barely enough to power the shields and weapons.

"Fuck!" came the reply. Natalya immediately went to work, shutting down the stealth drive which was drawing a significant amount of the energy from the power core. She grabbed her spanners and wrenched as hard as she could, but the couplings weren't budging. "Mama K! I need some help down here!" Natalya screamed into the intercom.

The response was the heavy, rapid footfalls of the Khontaran woman heading down to engineering while screaming at the top of her lungs, "Talon, take over!" Taal'ani wasted no time in shutting down her arm-computer and jumped into the second gunnery seat that Korsa had just vacated.

As she burst into the room, Korsa saw that Natalya was struggling to disconnect the relays that fed into the power core. Korsa jumped down, her short boots clomping as she landed. She rushed over, grabbed the spanners with all four hands and with almost contemptuous ease, pulled her arms apart, loosening the seized connectors. Natalya then hurried to finish the disconnect, which she did just as the first wave of fighters rolled over the Darkstrider, peppering her with their laser cannons.

"Power restored Captain!" Nats nodded to her adoptive mother and went back to managing the ship power levels, hoping that they weren't in too deep. Korsa helped her out where she could, making sure she forgot nothing in the scramble.

Seeing the spike in power levels, Inari cranked their shields to maximum. She banked and rolled as much as she could, but there was only so many maneuvers she could pull off while being swarmed by the pirate fighters.

"A little help would be nice Pree!" the captain barked.

"I've blasted six into scrap, but they still keep coming!" Priya growled while the laser turrets wailed, ejecting their deadly energy into the oncoming fighters.

"How's it looking down there Nats?!" Inari all but yelled into the ship's intercom.

"Power levels are stable and we're ready to jump on your mark Captain!" Natalya said. With all the dipping and rolling they were doing, all Korsa and Natalya could do was to lock everything down and hold for dear life, as their captain tried to fly her way out of this mess.

"Should have seen that fail-safe trigger written in that last line of code!" Taal'ani grumbled to herself as she steadied herself against the swoops and turns the ship was making. She locked onto and blasted any fighters that came too near. Those frigates and destroyers were closing a little too close for her liking as she kept firing.

She heard and felt a slightly heavy thud near to where she was sitting in but paid it no mind as the incoming fire threatened to fry their shields and then them. Just then, she saw on her targeting system that both the frigates and destroyers had fired torpedoes

"Captain...." Taal'ani warned, her tone underscoring her sudden fear.

"We have our co-ordinates! We're out of here!" Inari screamed as she hit the throttle and they faded away into hyperspace.

******************************

"THEY GOT AWAY!" Briggs bellowed as he saw the ship disappear from their radar screens.

"Not quite," the tech said as he checked over the battle report.

"What do you mean?" Briggs asked as he quickly closed in on the tech.

"Seems like one of our fighters tagged that ship with a tracer beacon before they blew the poor bastard out of existence. They may have escaped, but we can track where they are and by following their trajectory, find out where they are going," the tech said happily, relieved that he was giving his boss some good news.

A smile lit up Briggs' face, "Excellent!" he said. "Have the Phoenix and the Cerberus lock in four fighters each and head them off, now!" the large man barked.

"Sending two destroyers and a small contingent of fighters after a measly freighter?" Rat Face scoffed while waving pistol right in front of him.

Briggs stepped up right into Mike's face to ensure that his point was made, while he slapped the pistol right out of the thinner man's grasp.

"TAKE. NO. CHANCES. Have I made myself clear?" Briggs intoned as he was nose to nose with the weaselly man.

"Crystal." the other man replied with a slight tremor in his voice. He then turned to the comm console to relay Briggs's orders, with a disgruntled and venomous look on his face.

The crew of the Darkstrider breathed a collective sigh of relief as they were safely away in hyperspace. "That was good shooting ladies. First round's on me when we get back to Coalition space!"

Korsa laughed jovially over the comm and said, "Never turn down a free drink when someone's buying! I will help Nats here in Engineering. Some of our systems took a few nasty hits, and she needs my help in getting the maintenance done."

"All right then. Talon?" Inari asked

"I've got a lot of work to do. Sifting through all this data will take me a while, and that's only after I break the encryption on these files. It'll take me a few hours at least." Taal'ani said while giving the data file a brief glance as she stepped away from her turret. Her stomach groaned embarrassedly. Blushing, she murmured "I will grab something from the galley before I head off to my room to decrypt this."

Though the bridge had a good computer system, Taal'ani's room had top end system built into it. She had the system installed because the one aboard was lacking severely in her eyes and so she could work in private, with nothing around distracting her. Inari stood up from her chair, stretching and working out the kinks in her neck and back with audible pops.

"And then there were two," Priya's soft lilting voice said into Inari's ear as their Fel'caan crew mate retreated to the rear of the ship. She felt her XO's arms wrap themselves around her midsection as her body pressed against Inari's back.

The captain closed her eyes and tilted her head back, relishing the musky scent emanating from Priya. She felt her lover's tongue dart out to lick that nerve point just behind her ear, on her neck. Inari shivered with anticipation at what was to come. Firefights always made Priya exceedingly horny, and this one was no exception.

Snapping her eyes open, Inari whirled, temporarily throwing Priya off balance. The captain was ready for it though and reached out to grab her XO before she toppled over, bringing her in for a soul searing kiss. As their lips mashed together, their tongues came out and dueled each other for supremacy. Inari's hands snaked down her lovers' body, coming to rest on that wonderfully massive ass of hers. She grasped both cheeks, kneading them firmly, playfully, making Priya moan through the kiss.

In one smooth motion, she gripped Priya more firmly and pulled her up. Inari was carrying her while Priya's legs wrapped around her captains' torso. Priya broke the kiss and stared into Inari's face, muttering in a low voice, "I love it when you do that Captain."

"Right now, I'm not your Captain. I'm a woman who needs satisfying." Inari said as she walked back to her quarters, carrying Priya.

"Abso-fucking-lutely!" Priya giggled with glee as she let go of Inari and jumped into the moderately sized room. She then dragged her lover in behind her, quickly divesting her of her jacket and her tank top. Inari's breathing shot up rapidly, making her bra clad breasts heave with anticipation, begging to be freed from their confines.

Priya first removed her shirt, having gone with no bra while doing her yoga workout earlier. She then descended on Inari like a hawk, unclasping her bra from the front, popping her lover's tits free. A gasp of relief escaped Inari, before it turned into a moan of pleasure as Priya then kneaded, licked and sucked on her succulent F-cups. Inari quickly undid her synth-denim jeans as the heat between her legs increased. She then pushed Priya back on the bed, breaking her off from her play.

Priya fell back with a squeal, landing hard on the bed. She quickly propped herself up on her elbows, watching as Inari kicked off her boots and finished pushing her pants off. She saw that her lover was dripping through her boycut underwear. She made quick work of her own yoga pants, leaving her in just her thong, which was saturated in her own juices.

Inari then pounced on her, locking lips with her once more, and their tongues again engaged in their dance. Priya ground her leg against Inari's pussy, just as Inari did the same to her, eliciting a simultaneous moan from them both, their eyes closing from the passion. They ground against each other like this for several minutes before Inari opened her eyes and stopped moving her leg against her XO.

Priya opened her eyes and whimpered in frustration, but only for a moment, as her captain had rotated herself horizontally, setting them up in a 69 position, placing her dripping womanhood right in front of Priya's face. She smiled for a moment before she cried out as Inari pulled aside the thin fabric covering her pussy and buried her face into it. Her tongue lapped at Priya's clit, rolling it round and around, sporadically pulling it into her mouth, sending shivers of pleasure up her lover's spine.

While trying not get lost in the waves of pleasure engulfing her, Priya grabbed onto the waistband of Inari's boyshorts and pulled them down. They peeled off her ass, being nearly soaked but in a few seconds, her lovers' own pussy was exposed, which Pree attacked with a vengeance. For a few seconds, the tongue probing her depths stopped, while breathy moans coming from Inari filled the air. After which, Inari dove back in, determined to give her lover as much pleasure as she was getting.

A few minutes of this and Inari's clit had peeked out of her folds, just as her fingers probed the entrance to Priya's honey pot. Pree grabbed Inari's hips, bringing them closer to her face and reached out with her lips to latch onto Inari's clit. Inari cried out as her XO found her sensitive nub and nibbled, licked and sucked.

Undeterred, she continued with her questing fingers, slowly sinking two of them deep into Priya's slick love box. She left them there for a few moments, letting her lover grow accustomed to this new intrusion. After about a minute, she moved them in and out, slowly, making her fingers do a come-hither motion, her finger pads tapping Priya's G-spot.

"Oh my God!!" Priya screamed as Inari's fingers did their little dance inside her. Hearing her lover cry out always got Inari hot, even more so now, as she was so close to release.

"Right there, right there, right there.... oh...... GOD.......... YYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!" Inari cried out. Priya was rimming and then tongue fucking her pussy, returning to her slit to lick and suck it and then repeating the process all over again.

As she began to cum, she drove her pussy hard into her lover's mouth. She spasmed through her orgasm, her fingers that were working on Priya's G-spot sped up to where it was almost as though they were playing on a snare drum. She bent her head again to take her lover's clit into her mouth, sucking it gently but firmly.

Priya's breath caught and hitched just before she wailed wordlessly through an explosive orgasm of her own. Both women fell away from each other, breathing heavily as though they had both run a marathon.
