Chapter 12

Edited by Steve

Tim woke up and discovered two women in his bed. Tabitha was on his left side and Tammy was on his right. They both had their arms across his body, and he felt the warmth of their bodies. It was a great feeling to have somebody next to him in the morning, and as he raised his head to look around, he noticed their clothing discarded on the floor. Raising the blankets, he confirmed the girls were naked.

It offered Tim a warm and comfortable feeling, knowing the sensation of being next to someone. He lay there and thought about all that had happened in the last few days. ‘First, Sarha rescuing him, then the two Felines, and now Pauline.’ It must mean something.

The girls both began to wake up. Each looked at Tim with big, brilliant smiles on their faces. Tabitha said, “I hope you didn’t mind us joining you. We each needed to feel safe and secure. They both curled up in his arms.

“It feels nice to have someone next to me in the morning; it’s twice as wonderful with you both.” Tim held both felines tightly and gave them both a tight hug. Leaning across, he delivered a quick kiss but said, “I think we need to start the day.”

“I suppose you are right. I’ll enjoy my breakfast in bed.”

Tabitha then sat in bed, pulled the blankets from the bed, and dragged his dick from his shorts.

Tim was moved and delighted with Tabitha’s newfound boldness.

He started to say something, but Tammy had other ideas. She placed her own hands on his face, turned him towards her, and touched his lips with a quick but demanding kiss. He wrapped his arms around her in a huge hug. They kissed for several minutes without a break.

Tammy did a good job of distracting Tim so Tabitha could have some more time before Tim could say anything. She assisted Tabitha as well, and she placed one hand on the back of Tabitha’s head.

Tabitha worked enthusiastically to get Tim’s dick fully erect. She almost had his eight inches straight out. She began at the balls, licking and sucking, ensuring they were wet. She worked her way up the shaft, gave it a little damp lick, and used her mouth and hand in unison to stroke and suck the entire length.

At the head of his dick, she came to a halt. There was some sweet and salty pre-cum resting there, just for her. She stuck her tongue out to lap it up like a kitten. She then put her mouth on the tip of his dick; she wet her lips, opened them, and slid them over the head of his dick.

Tabitha thought about the last time she and Tim had done this. ’The last time she was in heat and did not care about anything except herself.’ Now, it is more for his enjoyment and pleasure. But she could also enjoy it.

She had approximately two inches of Tim’s dick in her mouth, moving up and down, keeping his cock wet, and taking a little more each time. She felt she was doing well, and the added weight of Tammy’s hand on her head did help a little.

Tim halted the kissing and turned to look at Tabitha, enjoying her excellent effort. “Tabitha, that’s wonderful. Is there something I can do?”

“Tim, Tabitha is only doing what our mother told us to do: ‘finish your food before you speak.’

Tammy looked at Tim and said that with a smile, and then both went back to kissing. Tammy kept Tim’s tongue in her mouth and sucked on it. She knew she was helping Tabitha because Tim was squeezing her tits, and she was relishing the sensations he was giving her.

Tabitha had most of his dick in her mouth, back to her esophagus; she just gagged slightly and started bobbing up and down on Tim’s shaft. Tammy gently placed her hand on Tabitha’s head and encouraged her to keep going deeper on Tim’s cock.

Tabitha could now feel Tim’s cock in the back of her throat. It felt like he changed the size to fit. The smooth in-and-out motion felt right to her, and she started to get warm. She had moved her hand down between her legs and started to rub her clitoris. The more she rubbed, the wetter her pussy got. Sucking on Tim’s dick and rubbing her pussy, Tabitha was getting close. She needed two fingers rubbing her G spot quickly and a quick movement on Tim’s dick.

Tim started to move his hips in and out of her mouth faster. He was getting closer; he could sense the vibration on his balls.

She began to get a lot wetter; there was a puddle right under her pussy, and it had gotten bigger, and her fingers were moving quicker. She was trying to get them both off at the same time.

Tim groaned and made one last push into Tabitha’s throat. He let go of what felt like a gallon of hot spunk. Tabitha felt his hot spunk pour down her throat, pulling his dick back from her throat to catch the rest in her mouth. Once she was satisfied that she’d gotten all Tim had to give her, she released him.

Tim allowed Tabitha to move back up to the bed’s headboard and into his arms, along with Tammy. Both gazed at him with warm smiles on their faces. They all stayed there for about 15 minutes and waited for the day to start. “I guess I’ll take a shower; do either of you want to join me?’

Tabitha and Tammy turned their faces toward him and grinned. Both moved off the bed and headed to the shower, and Tim followed them and looked at their lovely asses and those darling tails. Tabitha stretched to turn on the warm water at the right temperature. Both girls were in the shower before Tim, and they started to lather their hands.

Tim stepped in between them, and they began to soap him up; Tammy started at his feet and worked her way up. Since she had already worked his lower half, Tabitha began with his back. There was little playing around. Tim soaped up his hands and washed both girls when the girls finished.

The three moved to the bedroom to get out of the shower and dry off. Tabitha and Tammy kept walking toward the door as they passed the bed and picked up their clothes to get dressed in their room.

Tim watched them leave, watching their tails as they moved. Asked, “Why is it that sometimes your tails move very fast, sometimes not at all, and sometimes stick straight up?”

Tabitha turned to look at Tim, while Tammy still faced away from him. Tabitha points to Tammy’s tail. Tammy’s tail moved rapidly. Tabitha said, “When the tail moves like this, it means that the feline is very happy.” Tammy stopped her tail. Tabitha said, “This means that the feline is fine—neither happy nor sad.” Tammy raised her tail straight up into the air. Tabitha said, “This tells you to put something here; at this point, she needs it HERE AND NOW!” Both girls exited the room with their tails straight up. Their heads turned and looked over their shoulders. They smiled with a broad grin and headed to their quarters.

Tim felt foolish, but his dick was sticking straight up also. He hoped it would go on until he saw the girls again. He turned around and started to dress for the day. He wore a pair of blue knee-length shorts and a white T-shirt for the fitness room. He told Sarha, “If anyone needs me, I will be in the fitness room for approximately one hour.” Tim then headed to the room.

Sarha activated Mister Muscles so that the fitness room would be ready when Tim got there. Mister Muscles had been a bot constructed just for the fitness room. His body was about 5 feet, 4 inches tall. His arms could extend outward to about three feet while still being able to hold 350 pounds. He moved on a tread-style base. He was able to turn 360 degrees without stopping. His face was a viewscreen; his programming allowed many different faces. The same programs gave him a gruff voice with a pleasant manner.

Mister Muscles could work with one person or larger groups. Sarha informed him that the individual headed into the fitness center was the new ship’s captain and should be on his best behavior. Since it was the new captain, Mister Muscles set everything up for just him. If the girls showed up, he would get the women’s equipment out. He will be maintaining the fitness room in top shape from now on.

Tim entered the fitness room and remembered the sign he thought was funny: ’’Only lift what you can; the bots are not EMTs.” However, he still walked further and came upon Mister Muscles. “Good morning, Sir,” Mister Muscles said as he rolled over to greet the new Captain. Welcome to the Rustyville Fitness Center; I am Mister Muscles, your new fitness bot.”

Tim remembered this bot in the medical bay with Pauline. “My name is Tim Bodge. Just call me Tim.”

“Well, Tim, I would, but Sarha informed me that you are our new ship’s captain. So, I would be forever thankful if you would allow me the privilege of calling you Captain for a while.” Mister Muscles replied. “I see you have already been here once; you have met Mister Scrappy, our track, and our weight bot. Is there anything I can do to help you this morning?”

Tim wondered if it was Sarha or the former members that caused the bots to act the way they do. He called, “Sarha.”

Sarha appeared next to Tim and asked, “Tim, do you need something?”

“Yes, a question! The bots, their actions, and the way they speak are you the reason they’re acting like this?”

“No, Tim, The former crew members wanted the bots to be servants with very cultured manners. So that is the way I have programmed them; do you wish me to change their programming?”

“No, I was just wondering, thank you.”

“No, everything’s fine. I’m going to do a few laps, and that’s it for today.” But thank you for asking. It was nice meeting you, Mister Muscles.” Tim said with a pleasant voice. Once he finished, he told Sarha he was going to the bridge.

Tabitha and Tammy left Tim’s quarters and laughed about what just went on. They did not think about anything important as they walked back to their room to get dressed. Pauline came out of her quarters and headed down the hallway to the lift. She saw Tabitha and Tammy ahead. They were naked, just walking around. “Why do you walk around naked? Is there anything I should know?” Pauline asked.

“We just left Tim’s quarters.” Tammy said, “We spent the night, and Tabitha had breakfast in bed. We are headed to our quarters. Would you like to join us?” Pauline felt funny walking down the hallway with two naked women, ‘but this is their spaceship.’ She thought. They all walked into the XO’s quarters; Pauline looked around and saw it was identical to the quarters they gave her, except for a mirror over the bed. She laughed, jumped on the bed, and looked up.

“Why do you have a mirror over your bed?” Pauline asked, still lying there, looking up and with her hands, making different movements to see how it looked. Tammy came over to the bed, sat down beside Pauline, and threw one arm over Pauline’s midsection.

“That’s so if an individual is on top of me, I can see what their backside is like. You want to test it! I’ll lie on top of you.” Tammy said. She left her arm on Pauline and had a big smile.

“No, thanks,” Pauline said.

“Well, what will you do today?” Tabitha asked.

Pauline giggled cutely and removed Tammy’s arm, saying, “I think I’ll get something to eat and head back to my quarters.” She said this sadly and started to get off the bed.

“Why, back to your quarters?” Tabitha asked, “Why not spend some time with us on the bridge?” Tabitha walked over to join the other two by the bed. Tammy stood to get dressed.

“I need time to get used to these. I was flat-chested all my life, and having this much weight up here hurts my back.” Pauline placed her hands under each tit and bounced them up and down in her hands; they felt funny but pleasant. “If they were on someone else, I would have fun playing with them.” But as she bounced them, her face showed a lot of pain.

“Tell Tim about the pain and the reason,” Tabitha said, “and he’ll let you change. Being flat-chested, maybe you could add a little breast meat there. Make them stick out about an inch from your chest. Then, in a few weeks, work your way up.” “I think Tim will understand.”

“This is what Tim believes is beautiful. I have no desire to hurt his feelings, he saved my life.” Pauline still held her tits up and sat on the bed to relax.

“Maybe one small thing. What if you shifted from flat-chested to C-cup immediately before being with Tim and then shifted back?”

“I suppose I can attempt that for now and see how it works.” Pauline stood up and thought no more of it; her chest started to get smaller until she was flat-chested. Next, she thought, C-cup, her chest began to get more prominent. “I think I can make this work. Thanks.” Pauline now has a smile on her face and less discomfort.

All three girls headed up to the officer’s lounge. They laughed and told Pauline what she missed last night. They got to the lounge and ordered their food and drinks. “How are you ladies doing this morning?” Sarha speaks as she appears to their right.

Each girl tells Sarha, “Just fine, and everything is wonderful this morning.” They all sat down, started to eat, and talked about anything and everything.

“Sarha, you know I am able to transform into different bodies. Do you have any pictures of various large animals? I mean, one that is ferocious and has huge claws! I want to protect myself the next time,” Pauline asks.

“I have a lot of pictures of these kinds from different worlds, and I’ll have them placed on a portable viewscreen for you. It would be best to use cargo bay two if you are thinking of changing into some of these, and I will dispatch a bot named Jerazol to the bay with the viewscreen.” Sarha said.

Pauline left to go to Cargo Bay 2 to meet the bot. Once there, she saw Jerazol, a utility robot constructed to do the heavy lifting. Jerazol demonstrated that his body could stretch from two feet to over nine feet in height. He was able to turn 360 degrees without stopping. Like most of the bots, he used a tracked base and was equipped with a viewscreen on which his programming allowed many different faces to be displayed. The same programs gave him a soft voice and pleasant manners. “Is there anything special you need?” Jerazol asked.

“Yes, I need the viewscreen that Sarha programmed. Jerzaol pointed out the screen on a small table by the wall. Pauline started to view the animals from different worlds; one was about two feet tall but had razor-sharp teeth, and the others were very tall. She thought,’ This may help me be able to defend myself, and it may even come in handy with being around the girls if they are attacked.’

Pauline continued to look at the pictures Sarha gave her. The only time she did the shape-shifting was when she hid from people. She thought, ‘On my planet, monsters were the only ones who could do this. And I was one of them, and I changed to hide who I was. Now it’s different, and I don’t feel like a monster, and I feel like I’m part of the crew.’

“Jerazol, I am ready to start practicing changing my shape,” Pauline said, “Can you get me a mirror or something to reflect my image, please?” While Jerazol left, she removed her clothes and placed them on the table.

Jerazol returned with a 6-foot piece of polished metal and placed it against the wall so Pauline could see herself.

Pauline saw what she looked like and thought of Tammy. After a brief moment, she appeared to be an identical twin. She thought, ‘Tammy and I could have fun with Tabitha, playing around.’ While in Tammy’s shape, she pulled out her claws, moved around, and clawed at things. ‘I think she really could hurt someone with these things!’

She moved on and saw a picture of an animal about 6 feet tall with four arms and a beaked head. She thought about the animal and started to change. It took a few minutes to finish. She thought, ‘This is where I need the practice. I need to change within a few seconds. If it takes minutes to change, they or I could be dead.’

Pauline spent the next few hours practicing by changing into other forms as she saw them on the viewscreen.

Tim entered the bridge after his workout and asked. “Sarha, I need a status report.” After the report, he sat there and thought about the tasks that needed to be done for the rest of the morning.

Tabitha and Tammy ate and moved to the bridge to see if anything interesting had happened. Both girls sat down and turned to talk to Tim.

Tammy talked to Tim about her navigator’s license. She used the Talbegnon device to study. “I took the Astro-Navigation exam last night,” Tammy said; she gave Tim her ID to check. He turned to the console and scanned her ID. The readout displayed:

“Tammy Purrless”

“Age. 19.”

“Navigator First Class”

“Diplomatic”

“Tammy, it usually takes months of study and a few years of practical experience to qualify at that level of experience. Well, this is unbelievable. I’m proud of you.” Tim complimented her for a job well done.

“It just seems to come easily, and it must be the lesson and the Talbegnon device that helped ... Tim, I was amazed at the Talbegnon. You place it on your head, and it reads the information about the subject you want, and for some reason, your mind retains the knowledge. Besides, you learn more at a faster rate. I think that machine learning could be used in schools to teach kids.

Tammy sat in her chair, bounced up and down, and sat with the most incredible grin. She is so pleased that Tim is proud of what she has done.

“Now that we have a real first-class navigator,” Sarha said, “I will be able to allow Tammy to handle all of the navigation.”

Both Tim and Tammy said “no” at the same time. Your skills are still needed.

“Since you are responsible for navigation and Tabitha is responsible for being the pilot, I do not have a job,” Sarha replied, smiling.

“Sarha, if you quit, who will tell the girls what they are doing wrong?” while Tim walked to his seat. “Besides, who will keep the bots in line?”

“Tim, the girls seem to be doing a great job. I’ll stay around since I’m stuck in this computer machine.” She started laughing.

Tabitha left the bridge and headed to the firing range. She thought, ’I need more practice, but I need a more powerful weapon.’ She got to the firing range and said, “Sarha, I need your help.”

Sarha appeared beside Tabitha and asked, “How may I be of help?”

Tabitha told her what she wanted.

Sarha asked Tabitha to follow her. She led her to the armory. She showed her different weapons: a heavy pistol, a laser pistol, a neutron blaster, a large shotgun, a laser rifle, a neutron rifle, an assault rifle, and a Tachyon rifle.

“Why are there so many different types of weapons?” Tabitha asked.

“Being around so many different worlds, I picked up weapons during my travels, and it just made sense.” Sarha turned around to look at the weapons and told Tabitha, “It is prohibited to use some of them on board a vessel, as they will blow a hole in the ship’s hull.”

“Which one will I have to train on next?” Tabitha asked, waiting for Sarha to select one. Sarha pointed to the assault rifle, and Tabitha picked it up and, remembering her safety training, checked the safety first. She got everything she needed from the armory and headed to the firing range.

“Stop; before you fire, remember how the other weapons kicked. Well, this one will do the same. Also, remember to start with single shots first.” Sarha said.

“Thanks,” Tabitha donned her ear and eye protection, got into the standing position, and, ready to fire, braced herself. She fired the first shot but did not feel the kick as badly as she had thought. She was now prepared to spend time practicing with single shots for a while and then moving on to groups of three shots. She could practice whenever her schedule permitted.

Tim called an old friend, Lt. Col. Jim Timberside. He’s the military buyer at Shayeland Shipyard. It’s one of the first space stations built and is positioned between Earth and Mars. It’s so large that some think it’s a moon.

Tim used the Secure Channel Robust Universal Communication Relay, which only took a few minutes to connect.

“Colonel Timberside Office, this is Lieutenant Bill Wellington speaking. How may I help you?” He said. He is watching the viewscreen.

“This is Colonel Tim Bodge, retired. I wish to talk to Colonel Jim Timberside, please.” Tim said.

“What is it about, Sir? If I may ask?” Bill asked.

“I am an old friend from the army,” Tim replied.

“Please, hold.” “Sir, a Colonel Tim Bodge, retired, is on the line,” Bill said as he put the connection on hold. He wants to talk with you.”

Lt. Col. Jim Timberside said, “Put him through.” The Colonel was at his desk and had been working on some correspondence.

“We thought you were dead, Tim; glad you’re not,” he said, peering into the monitor. “Now how are things going?”

“Well, it has been an interesting three weeks.” Tim replied, “First, I was placed into an escape pod, picked up by a ship, saved three females, mined 10 tons of kirenium, and killed fifteen space spiders. That’s it in a nutshell!

“Not a bad start for someone out of the service for only two months. It appears that retirement is a good thing for you.” The colonel said.

“I just wanted to relax and travel,” Tim replied.

“Well, you have traveled, haven’t you? Tim,” he smiled and laughed at Tim.

“Jim, I have a question. Is there something going on out here that I should know about?” Tim asked.

“What makes you ask that?”

“Well, there are three ladies I rescued from pirates.” Tim shook his head, knowing how the military worked, classifying everything.

“Tim, you have not heard this from me. But lately, we have had a lot of attacks by pirates.” Jim said.

“What types of incidents are we speaking about, robberies or cargo theft?” Tim asked.

“Both, as well as abductions and murder. The thing is, they are not in one area but all over the place.” Jim said.

“One of these ladies worked on a space station and was abducted. They took her because they needed an engineer.” Tim cautiously said.

“Okay, most spacecraft require an engineer!” Jim replied.

“I concur, but she had been there for only one week before this happened. In addition, she called her on-duty supervisor to check whether it was OK for her to leave her position, and it was approved.” Tim spoke quietly.

“Well, Tim, would you like to have her file a complaint?”

“I’ll have her file as soon as we get there, but until then, is there something else I need to know about?” Tim replied.

“We are experiencing problems with the Targkeleaxs,” Jim stated.

“They’re the giant race? over 9 feet tall, and around 800 pounds?” Tim responded.

“Tim, I know you are retired, but could I bring you on as a consultant?” Jim asked, “If needed, you could help some of the officers out there when necessary.”

“How will I be able to help?” Tim asked. “Jim, why would you want me to do this? You have men still in the service that could and should be doing this.”

“Tim, to tell you the truth, I do not know who to trust anymore.” “If I say yes, where do I fit in the chain of command? What happens when someone questions my authority?”

“You are there if they need a helping hand. If you run across more pirates or something else that needs to be taken care of, that’s up to you. Now, I need to take another call. It was great catching up with you, and thanks for the help.”

Tim sat there and thought while he looked at an empty viewscreen, pondering what had occurred. ‘Is there something big happening at the Shayeland Shipyard? Or is it more significant than that?’

Tammy sat on the bridge with her heart pounding away. I was pleased that Tim was proud of her for getting her First-Class Navigator License. Now she had to think of something else to do. “Sarha, I need to study something else; any ideas?”

Sarha questioned, “Tammy, do you know what sounds fun or pleasant to try?”

“I want to be useful around the spaceship,” Tammy replied. She sat there, trying to think of something, anything.

“Tammy, if you have a problem. The best thing to do is to get your mind off the subject.” Sarha said.

“You are right. I think I’ll go to the fitness center and work out for a while.” Tammy headed to the fitness center, strolled in, read the placards, and began to chuckle. She thought the former crew members did have a thing for signs.

Mr. Muscle detected that someone had come into the center and started towards the entrance. “Welcome to the Rustyville Fitness Center. My name is Mister Muscle, and may I have your name for our logbook, please?”

“My name is Tammy. Thank you.” She now had a big smile on her face.

“Thank You. By any chance, are you related to Tim?” Mister Muscle asked with a smile on his viewscreen.

Tammy now laughed, turned, and said, “He could be my dad. Why?” She was now laughing hysterically at Tim being her father and the things they had done.

“It’s the icebreaker, that’s all. I think you needed it.” Mr. Muscle stated

“Thank you, and you are right. I did need that.” Tammy was giggling cutely.

“Tammy, how may I assist you today?”

“I need to do a little workout. It has been a while since I’ve done any,” replied Tammy.

Mister Muscle started Tammy with a few warm-ups and then asked her to join Mister Scrappy for a run. “Tammy, I will set a slow pace for you.” Mr. Scrappy stated

Tammy ran along beside Mister Scrappy and was doing great. She turned her head to say something to Mister Scrappy and tripped, falling to the track and injuring her left arm.

Sarha appeared at the same time that Tammy hit the track floor. Sarha asked, “Tammy, are you OK? Do you need to go to the medical bay?”

Tammy looked at her arm and saw all the blood. “Yes, I will go to the medical bay; I’ll walk.”

Tammy headed for the door, took about three steps, felt lightheaded, and fell. Before Tammy touched the floor, Sarha instantly transported her to the medical bay. At the same time, she requested that Tim and Tabitha go to the medical bay.

Tim met Tabitha in the hallway outside of the medical bay. They wondered what had happened! They entered the medical bay and saw Tammy lying on the table, and Tabitha ran over to see her sister.

Doctor Marus stood beside the table and said, “Tabitha, she will be OK. We are in the process of scanning and comparing everything with the reading we took the day you came aboard the ship.”

“You do not understand; she does not stop bleeding easily. Sometimes it may take approximately an hour to stop.” Tabitha anxiously stated.

Doctor Marus said, “But, Tabitha, Tammy has already stopped bleeding, and she is starting to heal.”

Shocked, Tabitha said, “I am sorry, Doctor, but she cannot have stopped bleeding this soon.” Tabitha stood beside her sister, looked at her left arm, and saw no bleeding. “Doctor, how can this be?”

“Tabitha, we ran tests and scans to check. All tests came back normal, except one, and I am rerunning it now.” Sarha said while she looked at the results.

“Which test is it?” Tabitha started to get more and more concerned.”

Sarha reassured Tabitha, “It is her DNA. It came back with a bit of a discrepancy, and something appears to have been added. The question is how it got there.”

“What do you mean, her DNA? What’s the difference?” Tabitha was angry at Sarha for withholding information. “Sarha, I need you to tell me, right now, what are you talking about? She’s my sister, and I need to know.”

“Sarha, please tell Tabitha what you know about her sister.” Tim walked beside Tabitha to show support.

“OK, but I still have to figure out how and why they got there. Your sister has micro-nano-bots in her system.”

Tabitha starts to sit down. Doctor Marus quickly placed a chair behind her before she fell to the floor. Tim is trying to hold Tabitha up.

“With micro-nano-bots in her system, will they hurt her? Why did you put them there?” Tabitha’s voice was rising a little.

“Tabitha, I did not put micro-nano-bots into her system, and I do not know how they would get there. But at least they are helping to stop the bleeding.” Sarha states.

“Sarha, are they doing any harm right now?” Tim still stood beside Tabitha and tried to think about the micro-nano-bots. “Sarha, is there any way micro-nano-bots got into the air?”

“No, Tim, our air system is cleaned thoroughly every minute. The problem lies in the micro-nano-bots, which are fatal to all the other alien species except my former crew’s species.” Sarha replied.

“When the girls came on board, their scans showed micro-nano-bots deadly. So I can’t understand how they appeared in her system.” Sarha said.

Doctor Marus watched Tammy. She moved around and started to come around. “People, Tammy has moved,” Doctor Marcus said as he approached Tammy.

Everyone stopped talking and looked in Tammy’s direction. Tammy raised her eyes and looked around, noticing that everyone was staring at her. “Why is everyone looking at me? Did I do something wrong?”

Tabitha goes over to her sister and hugs her. “Thank goodness you are still alive.”

Tammy looked at Tabitha with a suppressed expression, “And why would you think I died?”
