This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...After chow, and on time, they walked into what they thought was the training building they had used when they had all gone through the space academy, but things must have changed. A Sergeant ordered the trainees aboard a ground vehicle that sped through the giant building and on out onto the vast expanse of the spaceport itself.
Seconds later, they watched a combat shuttle come in for a hot landing both, figurative and literally. They could feel the blistering heat of the live nacelle on the stubby port wing as they double-timed aboard. The crew chief yelled for them to strap in as the large hatch closed. He barely slammed into his seat next to the door before the shuttle lifted and headed for space like the hounds of hell were on its tail. Everyone was pinned to their seats as the acceleration exceeded what the dampers could handle...

This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...Jeff hesitated before, "Okay. I suppose you could say that I am dragging my feet a bit. However, as soon as I married Kei, you started with Tosha."
"Well, so what? Tosha loves you, and I know you have feelings for her. Don't you?"
Jeff puffed out another sigh of exasperation. "Yeah, I do love her, but are you ever going to stop looking for wives for me?"
If he expected her to be contrite, he was wrong. "You're a Prime. The rules, if there are any, don't apply to you, and in any case, we've gone over why I think you need more wives once we're in space."
"And… is she going to be the last, or are you going to immediately start looking for yet another wife for me as soon as I marry Tosha?"
"Well…" she said, drawing out the word as she tried to think of a way to keep from admitting that her husband was right...

This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...With her hands on her hips, she met him halfway across the room, her nipples tenting her tight blouse. "Why don't you ask that poor girl to marry you?" she demanded. "You know that she's head over heels in love with you, and you are with her, yet you continue to put her off. Don't you realize that she's hurting? Darnit, Jeff, sometimes you can be an asshole," she snarled out as she stomped across the few feet between them to stop to tap him on the chest.
"So?" he said as he glared down at her, then pushed her back a step. "Now my wife is telling me when to marry another woman. Did you ever stop to consider that just might be my decision to make?"
"Well, you insist that I'm your Clan Queen, so one would think that I might have a say in this, too, but, oh no, you leave the girl hanging," she said as she reached up to punctuate her comment by grabbing his shirt - one of his favorites - and yank downward, buttons flying everywhere.
"Dammit, Woman. I liked this shirt. Somebody I know is going to sew some buttons on - soon."
"Oh, shit, not tonight," Arlene said as she got up to move her chair back out of the way, followed a second later by Jennie, Melissa, Laura and Ann, all scrambling out of the way while they giggled.
The newer wives were standing well back by now, all worried.
"That was my favorite shirt," he growled, "and I just put it on after we got back."
"Oh, woo, woo. Cry me a handful, Asshole."
"Asshole?" he snarled. With reflexes faster than she could blink, he grabbed her negligée and ripped it in half, her breasts spilling out with their nipples swollen and extended, her milk already starting to drip...

This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...Their exploration went on as they checked out the adjacent area until…
Selina reached to tug on Jeff's hand as he was peering into a column. "My Prime, I… think it is awakening." Even as she spoke, Little One had just finished telling him basically the same thing.
Jeff became aware of Little One projecting her thoughts, but at a rate and in a manner that he was unable to comprehend. Abruptly, he realized that she wasn't trying to converse with him at all.
Selina came to her knees as she held her hands against either side of her head. "Something is going on," she bit out through clenched teeth as the others made similar comments.
"Are you okay?" Jeff asked as he knelt to put an arm around the child.
"It does not appear to be a threat to me, but it caused me to become disoriented with, perhaps, a bit of vertigo," she managed to say.
"I think Little One must be conversing with it - whatever it is, but come on, let's get you out of here," he told Selina...

This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...Later. "Reporting still steady at warp 4, Sir," Helm said.
"Still no fluctuations at all?"
"None showing on my boards, Sir."
"Bridge to Engine Room. Chief, we have maintained warp 4 for a full cycle, and our instruments still show no abnormalities. Maybe that scout's engine was the problem after all."
"First, quit pussyfooting around." (Interpreted). "My engine is operating at top efficiency, and I am getting bored. We now have the fastest warp engine in the fleet. Go to warp 6."
The First turned from his personal screen and the Chief's frowning face. Trusting his friend, "Helm, go to warp 5."
"Warp 5, Sir."
The noise level changed slightly as well as the pitch. Helm said aloud, "Warp four point 5… point 6… point 7… point 8… point 9," with his voice becoming even more tense. "Warp 5." Then after a moment, "Sir, we are steady at warp 5."
"Helm, there are no fluctuations?" the First asked, incredulous.
"None, Sir. We are at full warp 5.0, and my boards show no fluctuations whatsoever."...
