Chapter 1: The Landing

Starship Lovely Angel plunged wildly out of control, making full warp on a direct intercept course for an unnamed planet in an uncharted star system. 3WA Trouble consultant Yuri wriggled her trim athletic body out of the narrow access hatch beneath the main computer console. Standing, she brushed her long black hair out of her eyes and sighed. “Well Kei, I’ve done all I can. I uploaded every vaccine we have in hardened storage. Now we just have to wait and see.”

Red headed Kei angrily jumped up and began pacing the flight deck. “Wait?” she asked. “We’re going to visit the nickle iron core of a planet, and you want to wait?”

“Well, what else can we do?” Yuri shot back, hands on her hips. “We’ve lost guidance, magnetic containment is failing, warp fields are out of phase, and the blasted coffee maker stopped working! Not only do we get to die spectacularly, I haven’t had my morning coffee yet!”

Kei scanned the banks of instruments as an emergency klaxon began to sound. “If it’s any consolation Yuri, it looks like the anti-matter will blow before we make planet-fall. At least we aren’t going down in history as ‘The Dirty Pair, Planet Killers!’. Maybe someone will even make a wish on us when we light up the sky.”

“Very funny! This is all your fault Kei! I told you not to down load romance Sims into the navi-comp, but no, you just had to!”

Kei blushed and began twiddling her thumbs. “Um, you see, the library computer can’t support the new total immersion Sims. Besides, how was I supposed to know the hyper-web virus filter was down? You said you were going to fix that!”

“What? Don’t you dare blame me for this, Kei! It’s your hormones that are going to get us killed!”

“Don’t pull that Miss Innocent act with me! I’ve borrowed, um, seen the kind of memory chips you keep hidden under your bunk!” Kei answered. “Little Yuri sure likes the guy on guy action!”

“What about that “wand” you have stashed in your cabin?” Yuri glared. “Does it link into the sensory web?” She grinned. “Does it ... Vibrate?”

“Not any more!” Kei said dejectedly. “The damn thing burned out last night, right when I was about to hit the big ... Oh, never mind!”

Just then, a huge panther like animal charged onto the flight deck. The feline growled at the bickering girls. Kei, for one, welcomed the distraction. “Mughi’s right Yuri. We’ve got to hit the escape pod! Who knows? Maybe we’ll even survive the shock wave!”

Mughi lead the way, his claws striking sparks off the dura-steel deck plates in his haste. Kei and Yuri were both in excellent shape, but they hardly managed to keep up with the charging beast.

“Yuri” Kei gasped “Isn’t this pod designed for one person?”

“Yeah, it’s the minimum required by law, and you know how the 3WA likes to pinch the credits!”

Suddenly the ship gave a sickening lurch. Both girls and beast were thrown to the deck. “We’re running out of time!” Yuri shouted as they scrambled to resume their mad dash for life. “We just dropped out of warp!”

“No kidding! You know what? Suddenly I wish I was very VERY far away!”

Mughi was the first to reach the escape hatch. He flung it open and made a dive for the single pilot seat of the cramped egg shaped space. Kei whacked him in the head. She dragged him from the seat and began attempting to stuff him behind it.

“Thanks Kei!” Yuri called, as she strapped herself into the vacant seat. “You guys better hold on. It’s going to be a bumpy ride!”

“No fair!” Kei whined, “I had dibs!”

Mughi snickered, so Kei whacked him again. “Shut up fuzz ball! Who asked you?’

Yuri reached between her knees and pulled the large iridescent orange D-ring. “Abandon ship!” She yelled just to make it official. The explosive charges blew after a frantically nerve wracking long pause. The sudden acceleration threw them clear, they hoped, of the blast zone.

The rudimentary communication gear automatically came on line and opened an audio link with the good ship Lovely Angel. “VIRUS DETECTED AND CONTAINED. RESUMING NORMAL FLIGHT OPERATIONS. ESTABLISHIG GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT ABOVE HABITABLE PLANET. AWAITING ORDERS.”

“Yahoo, I did it!” Yuri whooped. “Lovely Angel pulled through! Admit it Kei, I’m the Goddess of computers!”

Kei, buried under a large furry cat, was in no mood to celebrate. “Big deal! Just bring us about and dock this thing! I’m dying back here!”

“No problem, Kei.” There was a sudden roar, and the occupants of the cramped pod were subjected to sudden high G forces. “Oh damn, the retro’s already fired!”

Kei moaned beneath the huge weight of a rather flattened Mughi. “Ya think? Shut it down!”

“I can’t! It’s automated and idiot proof!”

“Do something!” Kei shouted from beneath a whimpering Mughi.

“Sorry Kei, but we’re committed to reentry. Just sit back and enjoy the ride!”

“Yeah, that’s just great, by the time we ... Hey! Watch those paws, Mister!” Once more Kei began to smack Mughi, who tried his feline best to look innocent.

The tiny pod streaked a burning path through the atmosphere. Yuri put her hands to her head and as the other two fought. Didn’t they realize that they were at the mercy of the ages old Blunt Body concept of atmospheric reentry?

Any second now Yuri expected the primitive egg shaped hull to rupture. Would they have time to notice before the ionized gasses of the planet’s atmosphere reduced them to mere ashes? She let out a pitiful cry. It was not one of fear. “I really need a cup of coffee! I can’t face death without my morning caffeine!”

Opal heard a strange hissing roar that ended with a ground shaking explosion. Thankfully she landed uninjured in the thick underbrush of the forested area she was exploring. She stood and brushed dirt and leaves from the bare flesh of her firmly rounded ass. “What in the name of the Creator was that?” she muttered, as she headed in the direction of the blast.

The Ebon came to a mound of earth that looked all the world like it had been pushed forward by the large egg shaped object half buried behind it. As she watched, there was a smaller bang. A large circular hatch blew open. The thick metal cover thudded heavily to the ground.

Opal backed away as a being climbed out. It looked like a Citizen, but not any she had ever seen before. A strange apprehension filled her heart as a being with an unfamiliar face and almost bluish black hair jumped to the ground.

She wore strange yellow coverings. One part cupped and held her unusually small breasts. Her feet and calves were encased in some sort of shiny resilient material that looked extremely uncomfortable to walk around in. Opal’s eyes drifted up the shapely legs to lock on the space between.

Opal was shocked at the sickening display of deviance she saw. This close to rutting season, and the Citizen-Being was openly protecting it’s genitalia. Somehow the yellow garment she wore low on her hips managed to hide any hint of the being’s cock! In fact, Opal couldn’t figure out how it could hide even the smallest penis.

Her apprehension increased when a second being climbed out. This one had impossible flame red hair! The newcomer was dressed much the same as her partner, only in white. She sort of tumbled to the ground along with some kind of large black animal.

Kei got up off of Mughi, and brushed herself off. “Just where the heck are we, Miss Computer Goddess?

Yuri shrugged her shoulders. “How should I know? We were in warp for an unknown length of time, before we came across this unregistered unnamed rock of a world! Your guess is as good as mine!”

Mughi mewled and motioned towards the heaped up berm of earth.

“Mughi’s right. Let’s ask her.” Kei let out a low whistle. “Shit, It’s been too long since we had any leave.”

Yuri looked up. “What are you talking about?” She froze. Her eyebrows went up, as her face turned rather pink. “Goodness, what do they feed ‘em around here?”

“That looks a lot like a penis.” Kei said, unable to wipe the appreciative smile from her face. “Only a lot bigger.”

Yuri forced herself to turn away. “Never mind that. We need to ask her the breast place to refuel. I can’t trigger Lovely Angel to land with the escape pod’s primitive communications gear. We have to get back up into orbit so she can rendezvous with us.”

“The breast place?” Kei said with a grin. “Those puppies sure are humongous. You aren’t feeling a touch insecure, are you Yuri?”

“Best!” Yuri snapped. “Now get your mind out of the gutters. We need fuel to get back to Lovely Angel.” She let out an explosive sigh. “And I’m not insecure over those monstrosities! I’ll have you know that boys are very appreciative of MY bust-line!”

“Only when I’m, not standing next to you!” Kei laughed.

“Shut up, and hope she speaks Galactic!”

Opal backed up as the strangers approached. She was so confused. They were as tall as an Ebon with a strong record of conquests, but they had the breasts of a prepubescent Snowflake.

Despite that, their skin was not white enough to merit the title of Snowflake. In fact, they were almost pink! “What are you?” she managed to ask as the large furred beast walked up and stared directly at her flaccid penis.

“Mughi, that’s not a cat toy.” Kei hissed when he raised a paw to bat at the thick length of meat dangling between her thighs. He dropped his paw to the ground and backed off. “Oh, hi there.” she addressed the woman with the gorgeous dark skin. “Just point us to the nearest fuel depot, and we’ll be out of your hair in no time.”

Opal felt her cock give a rather strong pre-rutting season twitch as the strange but lovely creatures came closer. The coverings over their hips, buttocks, and genitalia were too snug to hide a thing. She could see the gentle outline of a vagina, but no hint of a shaft. These beings were neutered!

“Refuel depot?” She asked, thinking of how easy it would be to conquer a Citizen lacking a penis, and thus posing absolutely no threat. “Would you be needing coal or wood?”

“We’re interested in something with a bit more punch.” Kei said with a tight smile. “Where can we get a containment vessel of anti-matter.”

“All vessels are located at the seaport.”

Yuri scrubbed a hand over her face. “I was afraid of that. There wasn’t time to search, but I didn’t see any sign of high order civilization on our way down. We might be here for a while.”

Kei glanced at the native’s flaccid but astonishingly large member. She was startled, but somehow not surprised to note the normal looking vagina beneath it. “Yuri, we need a vacation! I haven’t been on a date in almost six months!”

Yuri saw where Kei was looking. She had difficulty keeping her own eyes away from the glorious member. “Long, uh, It has been too long.” She whispered. “I mean, you obviously need something, but leave her, uh, him, whatever alone. The quicker we find a way to refuel, the quicker we can get out of here!”

“What is Him?” Opal asked curiously.

“You’re kidding, right?” Kei asked. “You know. Boys. Tab A inserted into Slot B.” She smiled dreamily. “Repeatedly, with gusto, all night long. Oh, and with a break for drinks and a huge steak dinner to keep up the ol’ energy levels.”

“Tab A would go in Slot A, you dummy. You always say it wrong!” Yuri hissed. A gentle smile touched her lips. “You must know a few men. Handsome rich cultured men that know how to treat a beautiful young woman.”

Opal looked puzzled. “Men?”

Kei sighed. “Listen friend, is everyone here like you?’ She tried not to, but couldn’t help pointing between the hugely breasted hermaphrodite’s thighs. “Do you all have one of those shillelaghs?”

Opal felt her confusion growing. “Of course! Every citizen has one. Only justly punished criminals, or those foolish enough to be damaged are without a penis!”

Yuri pulled Kei aside. “Kei, we can’t let them know we aren’t, uh, equipped. It could hurt negotiations for a fuel supply!”

Kei patted the snug fitting bikini shorts she wore. “I doubt if she thinks we’re hiding something like that under our clothes.”

Opal tried not to stare between the legs of the strangers. The thought of them not having cocks was troubling, but rather intriguing. “I will take you to a scholar.”

“Fine.” Yuri said as she tried and failed to keep from staring at the huge piece of meat swinging between their new friend’s legs. “Mughi, give the pod a complete checkout. We’ll be back as soon as we can find a fuel source.”

Mughi mewled his acknowledgment. His nose twitched, and he knew from their scent that his two human friends were thinking about other things besides fuel. He sighed. That was none of his business. He turned and began working to reinstall the blown off escape hatch cover. It irked him that Kei had triggered the explosive bolts, when all she needed to do was manually release the latches.

Peony looked up from her work and froze. “Strangers!” Her penis gave a pre-rutting season twitch, but the rest of her felt only fear. She had met an other world stranger once before, and it had led to her near ruination! “Opal, get them out of here!”

The Ebon smiled. “Scholar Selfie, these strangers are in need of help.”

Peony felt her face grow warm with reawakened shame. She still was haunted by the humiliation of birthing a same race clone after the escape of the purple alien. “Don’t call me that, or I will call the Enforcers!”
