While I am still with Lady in OUR quarters, Kaj handles the security checks and release of Broderick Smythe and his team. After that is done, he sets the Base on high alert secured lockdown. Then he goes about his duties. He stops by the med bay and walks into a secured patient room, where the Sensoth Jose Hemanez is still at. Jose now has a cybernetic nose with a prostethic skin so it looks like his real nose, but much more sensitive than even a 'real' Sensoth nose.
Kaj then starts talking to him. "Greatings Mr. Hemanez. It is good to see that you seem to be getting used to the new nose and all your injuries have healed. Doctor Orion said you wanted to speak to Captain Batman or myself?"
Jose says, "Thank you Lietenant Oenfer. Yes, I was wondering if I could leave sick bay, and perhaps even stay here. I have no place to go and despite your 'Harbinger' giving me an unrequested nose removal surgery, I have been treated quite well here. Besides the Doctor has given me this cybernetic nose that looks just like my real one but functions a lot better, so no hard feelings. Although perhaps next time he wrestles with me, he can do so without removing part of my anatomy."
Kaj responds with, "Well you have been no trouble security-wise and Doctor Orion says you have been a great patient, despite constantly getting out of bed to exercise even when you weren't supposed to. Unfortunately Captain Batman is currently indisposed. However, I am on my way to the War Room. So I will talk to our Commander about you being moved to guest quarters, and perhaps released. If he does authorize your release, then I will also make him aware of your request to stay with us in some way."
Jose smiles and nods as he says, "Thank you Lietenant, but please start calling me Jose. Also thank you for your daily visits. I know you didn't have to since, you keep a security guard posted right outside my door."
Kaj says, "It has been my pleasure. Besides everyone can use a friend at times. So yes I suppose I will call you Jose, and you can call me Kaj. I must go now. We will talk later."
Lietenant Oenfer shakes Jose's hand then leaves his room. Kaj heads towards the War Room, but on his way he stops at the quarters of one Lena Marr. He smiles when he sees that there is no security guard, which is good, since he removed her guard shortly before the Alpha team got back from the moon. He was gald to see, that even though he made sure Captain Batman and Commander Taffer were sent that information, that neither chose to counter his orders and re-instate a guard by her door again now that they are back from their most recent mission. After standing there for a few seconds he galnces at the security cameras knowing, now that Atticus and Taffer are back, that they could be monitoring the base's interior cameras at any time they so choose. He decides he doesn't care and that he will bring it up to Commander Taffer when he goes to the War Room, before the Commander can call him on what the cameras are about to catch.
Kaj then knocks on the door. A pretty young Castithan opens it slightly and peeks out. When she sees that it is Kaj she opens it completely, smiles wide and gives him a BIG hug.
"Kajeeeeee!!! It is always such a pleasure to see you. You have been so nice to me! Even nicer than Chloe and as you have seen in the videos, she has been VERY nice! I am always so happy to see you!" She then tugs on his shoulders and the big purple guy leans down. She kisses him lovingly on the lips. Their first kiss. When she pulls away she blushes and looks away. "I am so sorry. It's just you are so nice and I have so wanted to for the last few days! I hope you don't think I am trying to....well you know why I am restricted to quarters. But I am not trying that! Honest!"
Kaj puts a big finger to her lips and talks gently. "Do not worry about that. I did not think that and never will. Your past is just that. Let us hope that everyone feels that way, for Miss Widowmaker and her son and daughter are all now on base as well. Anyway Lena, I just stopped to see how you are doing and to tell you I am planning on asking Commander Taffer if you can be released or re-enstated. However if that kiss means what I hope, then I will also make sure I come back after I am off duty. Perhaps we can go to dinner together. But Kajee?"
Lena blushes again and smiling broadly responds with, "Oh Kaj! That is exactly what that means! And yes Kajeee. Can't a woman squeal in delight at seeing somebody she cares about around here?! However I will deny it it, if you tell anybody!"
Kaj says, "Yes a woman, and you most definitely, can,. I just am not used to anybody being happy to see a Bioman and especially not a purple one, such as myself. However it is perfectly alright for you to be delighted to see me. Especially if it alright if I also give you a goodbye kiss, since I must report to the War Room now."
Without waiting for a response, he leans down and kisses her again, and she immediately kisses him back. After she reluctantly lets do, he somewhat reluctantly heads to the War Room, thinking he is more than glad that he is here.
After he enters the War Room, he sees Commander Taffer sitting at his desk thinking, and though he doesn't want to disturb the Commander while in though, he feels he should before he loses his nerve so he goes to the Commanders Desk.
"Commander, I don't want to disturb you, but I feel there are some things that you should be aware of and that I would like to discuss before somebody else brings them to your attention."
Commander Taffer gestures towards a chair so Kaj sits down. "First Commander, the Sensoth Jose Hemenez is fully recovered. So I would like to know wether I can move him to private quarters or release him. Second, he has requested that we allow him to stay, if he is free to go. I am sure we can find a position for somebody who can survive so well against Captain Batman. I was also hoping to discuss Lena Marr with you. I hope you are not upset, but shortly before all of you got back from the moon, I had security pulled from her quarters because she never showed any more signs of possible betrayal and she has remained in her quarters, unless I personally escorted her around the base. So I was hoping we could also discuss her release, or re-enstatement to security or assigned a new job because she would also like to stay with us. On a more personal note....(very long pause)....I beleive you should know that her and I have been getting very close and are going to dinner together, just the two of us, after I get off duty tonight. I hope it is not a problem, Sir?"

Volodja's moment of weakness passed, so he got up from his book pile, rubbed his forehead and started to work again, heart still aching. He thought about Mistress. She was more powerful, than one can expect. After her defeat at Freedom she struck back immediately. But being powerful didn't meant being invincible. All organizations, even criminal or fanatical ones, have their weak spots. All you have to do is to find them. With absent minded expression on his handsome face, he started to draw a pyramid on his note paper. Mistresses organization seemed to be typical pyramid shaped one, reflecting a hierarchy. Mistress is at the top of the chart, middle management - Micor Newlo and his kind - follows; and lower-ranking fanatics and their agents and supporters are at the bottom. The pyramid organizational structure largely dictates to whom all employees report. There had to be more than one Lieutenant in Mistresse's army, because managing such a huge organization was not an easy task and even all observant Mistress won't have time to do everything by herself. She had to divide smaller tasks between her loyal caporegimes.  A major disadvantage of a functional organizational structure is that coordination between different functional areas can be difficult. Mistress established good communication measures, but they weren't perfect. One way to harm her gang was to disturb their interactions, manipulate their information channels and confuse them with disinformation. Part of information warfare. Mistress used it against them last time, but maybe they can let her taste some of her own medicine. If she had any other agents on their base, they should not touch them. Taking them under custody means declaration of war. Better way for handling them is to make sure, who they are and provide them with false information. He thought about that in their ship already, while they were returning to their base. And maybe, just maybe, they can affect some of Mistresses Lieutenants to make them work against each other, like Mistress tried to do with Atticus and Belle last time. Second and third in command, even religious ones, are usually secretly envious to each other. Competition between equals, based on their personal ambitions. They all can't be dedicated ones, ready to serve only Mistress and her cause. Mistress was definitely Primus Omnium - the first among them, but some of her subordinates probably want to be Primus Inter Pares ("First among equals"). She could not rely on brainwashed personnel only, thus meaning that there must be some personal motives for her lackeys - like competition for the title of fanatic of the year, or Mistresses most devoted lap dog, or something like that, to keep them going. If you find couple of them and convince them that their dream might come true, Mistresses organization starts to eat itself. It might even work, considering that Mistress looked at humans as a lower life forms and treated them like cattle, incapable to play her games. Her pride can be her doom and blurs her judgement. It means stepping down to her level, of course, which is not a good thing. But Inquisition might have enemies, who are willing to harm them from outside too. Organization, based on racial preferences, rises despise, anger and so on amongst folk, who tends to think differently. And there can be some competitive organization of fanatics, who thinks that Mistress is a heretic or blasphemer of a cause. But that game could be really dangerous - "With friends like these and so on..." So if their team was looking for allies, they had to be very careful. He informed Taffer and Erika about his thoughts immediately and kept thinking about Mistress and her schemes, because if they disagree with his suggestions, he must find something else. After all - he promised to work on the problem, so he will keep his promise. He tore his pyramid paper to small pieces. Now he needed a new one for visualizing his ideas. Volodjas glance fell into another piece of paper. He must be REALLY absent minded indeed, because his hand has drawn and written something again...  |

Post by Erika Widowmaker on Apr 12, 2015 13:17:36 GMT
Erika Widowmaker listened patiently as Dr. Orion lectured on about being patient, that the treatments to get her children back to their normal selves were going to take a while. Physically, they were in excellent health, although her son Cael wore someone else's face, and Dr. Orion had facial reconstructive surgery planned in the morning to rectify that issue. Mentally, Cael was in better shape than Kara. He seemed to be slowly separating his true identity from that of Kabule, and was even beginning to grieve for the people he killed as Kabule.
Although Kara looked physically like herself, she still thought herself the Mistress of Judgment, with everyone and everything being granted by her a judgment of death. Just fifteen minutes go, she had judged her bedpan guilty of treason, and gave it a death sentence! Kara could be brought briefly to lucidity if shown pictures of her children, but these brief periods of Kara being Kara seemed to be coming less frequently and last less longer than previously. Kara had not yet gotten violent, except against the straps restraining her, and that was good, but Dr. Orion feared that she was slipping from being brainwashed into true insanity, and might then hurt herself more seriously.
Dr. Orion had sedated both of Erika's children, Cael because he needed his rest to be strong for the surgery tomorrow and Kara because she just needed rest. Erika visited first Cael's private room, talking to the nurse there, then kissing Cael on the forehead, before leaving to Kara's private room. There she sat down next to Kara, holding her bound hot hand as she watched beads of sweat flow off her daughter's face. Erika soaked a cloth in a nearby sink with cool water, dabbing Kara's forehead as she did for her when she was a child with a fever. Erika had done the same thing for her youngest daughter when she lost her to a plague yers ago, and she prayed she was not about to lose another one.
Erika stayed with her daughter until it was her shift in the War Room, not bothering to even try to sleep, because she knew she wouldn't even if she tried. When her shift time began, she was there promptly on time, doing her job efficiently and effectively in managing the routine business of base operations, because that was who she was; looking and acting cool and competent, not letting anyone around her know the true despair in her heart.

Post by Lady Christianna on Apr 12, 2015 13:53:44 GMT
Lady Christianna awakened to Atticus rubbing her tummy gently as they lay naked in their bed. She smiled her Mona Lisa smile as her pink eyes gleamed happily, quickly kissing him on the lips before fairly leaping out of the bed, running to the bathroom as she yelled gleefully over her small alabaster shoulder, "First dibs!" Lady quickly cleaned up, then went back to the bedroom to dress in her white 7th legion outfit, knowing he was watching her do so. Lady knew Atticus loved to watch her dress and undress, so she offered him that luxury whenever possible. In all truth, she enjoyed him enjoying it, and Lady was always glad to make them both happy. After she went back into the bathroom, putting on her warpaint and making sure it was just the way she wanted it and that the locket Atticus had given her was prominently displayed against her thin chalk white neck. Lady re-entered the bedroom, climbing into bed to give him another kiss as he was still there, his huge arms in back of his head, watching her every move, then she said cheerfully as she bounced out of the bed again, "Places to go. People to see," then added with a smile, "Don't forget. Birthday tomorrow." She then went to see Chris and Tim the skittering, asking the former if he could make something for her as she petted the latter, leaving only when Chris assured he could and would. Lady then went to the door to Belle Starr's room, looking both ways down the hall, and once assured no one else was near, decoying through it. "What are you doing Lady?" Asked Sandy, her EGO's psyche, hesitantly. "Nothing," Replied Lady as she walked around the room, touching the bed neatly made with red satin sheets, enjoying their feel under her finger tips. She went to Belle's makeup table, picking up first Belle's silver comb, then her matching brush, feeling the heft of each. Finally, Lady made her way to Belle's closet, noting with an enigmatic smile the half dozen Liberty Trooper armors stored there with a plethora of other colorful outfits. Once her curiosity was sated, Lady decoyed out of the room, heading down to Volodja's room.  "Where you going now Lady?" Asked Sandy again, afraid of the answer. "To Teach." Answered Lady in a by-the-way manner. "Oh... okay," Said Sandy, not sure how she felt about that. When Lady got to the door to Volodja's stateroom, she rapped on the door three times, then announced herself loudly, "Lady here! When you going to teach me something?" |

"Soon, dear Lady, soon," replied Volodja. "Just come in and make yourself comfortable, while I am packing my books." He started to gather his belongings, because time to open the present was close and he needed to be ready for that. He looked around - room was mostly tidy. Can't leave the mess behind him. No time to change clothes though, but his red velvet robes look elegant enough, so no need to be ashamed of them. He was ready, although opportunity to meet Sandy made him really uneasy. Hopefully she won't refuse the only thing he had to offer her, so she could get out from her shell and feel more happy.
Volodja waited for Lady to enter and told her politely: "Lady. I think we continue with your lessons after your birthday, but can you help me move my things to the classroom, please? I...I was planning this apartment to be home for Sandy and me. It was meant to become a special place, where she could feel more...alive. But I lost her, because my selfish stupidity and least I can do, to make things better for the girl, who will always be ruler of my heart, is to give this place to Sandy and move out, so she won't have to feel awkward near me. I believe that my crate is still somewhere, so I can sleep there."
He grabbed pile of books and was ready to move them into classroom. He can't use this place any more, but if Sandy leaves her exile, she can live almost normal life - to feel a taste of food and drinks, have a shower and sleep in large bed as long as they stay at base. Sandy could have a home now. It was the right thing to do to for the queen of his heart.

Post by Belle Starr on Apr 12, 2015 14:44:24 GMT
As Micor Newlo sat at Belle Starr's desk doing her job of running VBI's division of Security Analysis, Belle went to a concealed panel on the back wall of her office, opening a sliding door to a secret room. Micor Newlo seemed to relish pretending to be her to VBI, and she was just as glad that she didn't have to pretend that everything was business as usual, because she knew that reality was far from that. The stark white lights in the almost empty secret room turned on as Belle entered, still clutching the small silver box containing Vo's cyan eye, noting that almost nothing had changed since she was last there. Almost...
The large red cushioned wing backed chair was still there as was the dark matter portal in the corner, the black energies still undulating over its doorway. Belle had learned a lot from the hacker squad she had assembled for the VBI division she was Director of, although only as a figurehead now, but she could not figure out where the portal led to no matter how hard she tried, and she had a lot of free time to try in this room.
Sitting prominently in the center of the almost empty white room was a glass coffin, and in that coffin was a hologram of Vo's body being held somewhere in stasis. Belle had also tried to find out from where the hologram was being projected, but it was an impossible task. Belle figured that the transmission was being projected from somewhere far away, but she wasn't able to trace it without her EGO's help, and he refused to help her. The change in the room was apparent when she looked at the Vo's hologram, for there was now a gaping hole where Vo's left eye had been.
As Belle watched in horror as a thin red diagonal line appeared across Vo's left cheek as if it was cut by an unseen scalpel, which in fact it was. The Mistress of Judgment was reminding Belle that she was being watched at all times and needed to follow orders to the letter, or Vo would pay the price. Belle didn't need the reminder, nor any mind controlling device, to play the part of the pawn in the Mistress of Judgment's plan. Belle would do anything to protect her true love, even if it meant opposing her friends and team mates. As Belle's tears began to fall on the top of the glass coffin with a low pitter-patter sound, she hoped her friends realized that she would consciously stop them with all the power at her disposal if they interfered with her captor's plans, or die trying.

Lady Christianna giggled when Volodja mentioned the crate, remembering when she first met him in a crate as a stowaway in the team airplane, and Lady had to save him from Atticus who was going to throw him out of the plane during flight.
"Please tell him not to leave, this is his room, the only place he seems to find any peace," Sandy begged Lady through the telepathic connection they shared through the EGO device.
"No," Answered Lady mentally.
"No? What do you mean no?" Asked Sandy incredulously.
"Not going to do it. Get out there. You need to talk," Lady thought adamantly to Sandy.
"Oh... Okay, I guess, although I'm only asking you to do one little - okay, damn it, I'm going!" Sandy answered angrily as she suddenly appeared as a hologram in the room facing Volodja, her arms tightly crossed her chest and a frown on her pretty face as she stood tapping her toe expectantly, although she wasn't wearing her normal EMC uniform but a low cut short sun dress that not only highlighted her attractive cleavage but her shapely legs as well, saying to Volodja, "Don't move on my account Volo! I've got a place to live, right in Lady's brain! I'm an EGO now and nothing else, so I need to live where I work!"

Volodja put his books down, looked beautiful vision in front of him, and holding himself back from storming to Sandy and embracing her, he said: "Sandy. I never saw you as an EGO psyche, but as a really adorable girl, I fell in love with, without even knowing, how you might look like. All I ever wanted, was to spend more time with you, because I always thought that my place is by your side and you belong with me. Your work is not all your life. I wanted to be a big part of your life too, and I looked for you as soon as my tasks were completed, so I could be with the girl, I love.
Yes, Sandy. You are girl in my eyes, the one who stole my heart. And seeing you in that dress confirms it, Sandy. You are lovable girl, and this place is yours. You deserve it. Just try to stop me from giving it to you as a present and finding that crate, which satisfied my needs, until I found myself in embrace of the angry Giant. If needed, I will find a place in crew's quarters. You can't hold me back with your words." And he grabbed his books again, ready to carry them away.

Post by Taffer on Apr 12, 2015 19:05:43 GMT
Taffer had just returned to the War Room when Kaj approached him. Dr. Orion supplied him with a full list of equipment they will have to send back to VBI and which they have to find the replacement for. Most of the equipment and supplies could be bought, but some of it was unique and could only be replaced with EMC prototypes if they were lucky to find an intact EMC lab, or with Votan tech which could be found at some Dark Matter base. The base they had infiltrated before didn't have the equipment they needed now, or they didn't look for it at that time, but now it's probably completely looted by mutants or arkhunters. There was another laboratory with an entrance in Mt. Tam he had to infiltrate during his investigation of the Tranquility virus. The lab equipment was left almost intact, only the virus samples and any research data was destroyed, but he still could not be sure the lab wasn't looted since then. Another possible source was the expeditions he heard were held from the newly discovered Alcatraz Island. He still had very little information on what was happening there, but from what he had heard it might look promising.
Erika's children's conditions were mostly the same as when they arrived as their treatment had only just began with all the relocation hassles and staff losses the lab has to endure. Kara's conditions were most concerning and he had an idea which might help but he had to ensure it's completely safe before he offered it to Dr. Orion.
Kaj approached him with questions regarding people on the base and Taffer was glad it was decisions easy to make for a change.
"Hemanez can definitely stay if he wants to. Given we're short on staff, I think we can assign him a job in the repair and maintenance department, under Zork's supervision. Lena Marr can stay as well and I trust you to get her a decent job in the security. Your date and relationship is definitely not a problem, it's absolutely fine. Just note that she's from South America and she probably has relatives there. As you know, in South America our enemy has more influence than we do, so they might be used to influence her and influence you through her. I really hope you'll gain enough trust with her, so that if she or her relatives ever get into trouble, she will ask you and us for help rather than start to act secretly."
After the talk with Kaj, Taffer went to the training room where new holo emitters were installed. He had an idea on how to help Erika's children, but first he wanted to check himself if the desired fidelity is even achievable.

"No you need to stay here, as this is your home," Said Sandy and, as Sandy often did, she acted as if she was still alive and had a corporeal body, so she grabbed at the books but instead of having her holographic hands go through the books, she was suddenly holding them. She opened one up, flipping through the pages - by herself! She smiled gleefully, because she didn't need Lady to do it for her! Although Sandy could read any book in the base's computerized archives that she wanted to through the EGO device in the blink of an eye, it was different to be actually able to hold a book, and she had missed that feeling.
"What the hell did you do?," Sandy exclaimed with a big grin on her face, "What incredibly wonderful thing did you do?"
Tears of joy began to streak down her face, and they flowed faster as Sandy realized she could feel them as well. She put the books carefully down knowing how precious they were to Volodja, but really just wanted to drop them and rush to him. But instead, she took the time to put them down carefully, then rushed to him, embracing him, then kissing him, enjoying the ability to touch him without having to consciously concentrate on simulating the ability to touch.
As the couple kissed passionately, Lady decoyed through the door, making a quiet exit with her enigmatic smile in place, happy to have played her part in bring the star-crossed lovers back together again.

Post by Taffer on Apr 12, 2015 21:24:16 GMT
After the talk with Kaj, Taffer went to the training room where new holo emitters were installed. He had an idea on how to help Erika's children, but first he wanted to check himself if the desired fidelity is even achievable.
"Dash, take some scene from my memory and replay it fully using all the means of this training room."
He saw himself again at the bunker's "entrance" which in fact was just a ventilation pipe sticking out of sand. The razor rain was hitting the ground violently all around him, but pieces that hit him were causing only a sense of touch, not even causing his shield to bounce off those hits. He remembered that rain, it was not from their last venture from that bunker, but the one he earned his first bunch of scrip from.
"Tactiles are good", he reported to his EGO, "We don't need them to get hurt. But the smell is off. You took the smell from our latest journey, but my sense of smell was better when I was young. Check my memories again, get feedback from my senses and reprogram it please."
Now the smell changed and Taffer caught himself feeling the urge to run for his life to the nearest shelter which was the small cavern in the rock under which he waited the rain to pass that day. He indeed leaped to "safety", reliving that moment in full.
"Next scene please."
He stood under the roof of an abandoned shelter looking at the sea covered with volcanic dust. The dust was present on every surface around him and also in the air.
"The smell is off again. The smell of the sea should be almost indistinguishable. And the dust felt a little more… acidic. Readjust please".
Now he remembered the sense of desperation he felt back then when he tried to follow the traces of the woman he loved and when the chain of giant volcanoes stopped him on his path, making him hide in shelters like this for a month. Once the eruption stopped it was clear that his woman is long gone and all traces are lost. All that was left for him that day was start his way home over the Bering Strait back to Alaska.
"Next scene please", he repeated with a sigh.
Now the reliving moment hit him right away. He was in the cargo hold of New Freedom, the fire started and the air was full of pungent smoke. He had to hunker down and crawl towards the safe exit he roughly remembered should be nearby. He could not see anything, so he had to feel around the crates which were displaced due to the crash and hope they didn't pile on the exit door.
"Should I show you the way like I did back then the first time we've met?" Said Em Dash, appearing in front of him.
"No need for that, just turn it off", Taffer stood up, "That was believable enough from the get-go."
Right after he left the training room, Volodja contacted him and shared his thoughts on potential weaknesses of their enemy. With those thoughts in mind, Taffer quickly formed a set of tactical goals he could take action on. Detect those spies without raising any suspicions on their side. Get more information on the Inquisitor internal organization and maybe some history of their operation. Also, more information on their position in Votan political circles could be useful as well.
"All good thoughts Volodya", Taffer answered, "I'll start collecting information on topics you've mentioned and inform you when I get something on the matter. Keep up the good work."
After answering to Volodja, he visited Dr. Orion to share the results of his research in the training room and ask if his idea was useful. Having the positive answer from him, he went to meet Erika.
"Hello again Erika", Taffer said, entering the room. "I have an idea on how to help your children and I have positive answer from Doc Orion on that. We have new emitters installed in our training room which can be programmed to emulate a very precise and detailed environment modelled by an EGO unit from its host's memories. The point of it is to make your children relive a crucial episode in their life to help them remember how they felt back then before they were brainwashed. As their mother, you definitely remember some of such episodes and you remember them in details enough for your EGO to create a full model for simulation. There are still a couple of problems though. First is the smell. The smell is crucial for remembering and recognizing, but the controls are not precise enough to create the right smell from the first try. So you'd better test it yourself alone before presenting it to your children. Second problem is that the abrupt end of the simulation might cause cognitive conflict in their senses, leaving their mind even more confused between the reality, the imaginary world they were just presented, and the information they were fed during the brainwashing. The best way would be to distract them by something important to them so that they wouldn't notice the moment the environment had changed for them. Another means could be sending them to sleep in the end of the session, but that may result in their mind discarding what they had felt as a simple dream. Doc Orion suggests Cael should be the first one to try it as he's more stable. He says he'll be ready after he recovers from the plastic surgery he's about to perform. Kara's mind is more fragile in that regard, so he suggests we should analyze our experience with Cael first before trying on her."

After the conversation with Commander Taffer, Kaj notified both Jose and Lena of the good news. He then contacted Zork to let the guy know that he would be getting a new employee. Then he put a request on Miss. Widowmaker's desk asking that Jose Hemenez be assigned permanent quarters as a new base staff member. He also leaves her her copies of the correct form showing that Lena Marr was released to return to duty as a member of base security, which Taffer quickly signed and authorized before leaving the War Room again. Kaj then went about his duties, happy that he finally found a place that treats him like a man and not a tool to be used.
After Lady awoke from her nap, I enjoyed watching her dress leisurely. I even enjoyed watching her apply her war paint. I am glad hers is just paint, unlike the tattooing on my face which is more permanent, mixed with my scars. After My Love leaves, I get dressed and go into my armory where I field strip and repair all the guns I have using so much lately. Then I resheathe my Legendary EXL pistol by my side, as well as re-equipping my legendary EXL shield. I am about to put on my helm when I get notified that I have an incoming call from Blackgut of the 13th Dragoons.
I go into Lady's and my room and have the call transfered to our Vid screen, on secure channels of course. Blackgut's face quickly appears. "Bat, good to see you're still alive!"
I nod as I say, "For once I am glad to still be alive Gut. What's up?"
He points to a decent sized package near him. "A package arrived from Freedom, Alabama. Clever aliases you came up with. I assume it is from you to you. Henry Pine-Coffin? Alucard Panthere?"
"Actually Gut, Pine-Coffin isn't my doing. That is a real person in Freedom. However Alucard Panthere is indeed one of mine. Anyway just have a messenger bring it to the base today. Need it here to wrap it for tommorrow. I hope that package I asked you to get personally, and made to my specifications, is also on it's way?"
Blackgut smiles and says, "Yes both packages will be delivered today. I promise."
Alright Gut thanks. Catch you Later." I then terminate the call and put my infiltrator helm on and leave my quarters. I am walking past Volodja's when Lady decoys through the door and bumps into my side, I quickly turn towards the person who bumped into me smelling Lady's lovely scent before she even bumped me by accident. As I turn towards her, I catch her as she stumbles into my arms. I lift my helm so she can see my smile as I say, "Glad to see that you are still 'falling' for me, My Snow Angel. By the way, Doctor Orion said he will see you after lunch. So shall we go to the mess and have something to eat, before WE go see the little doctor?"
I kiss her gently. Then I replace my helm as I grab her hand, hoping she will agree, since she needs to eat regularly and definitely needs to see Doctor Orion as well.

Sandy and Volodja kept kissing each other with growing passion. Even Taffer's message didn't stop Volodja kissing his girl. He answered very laconically (which was most unusual for him): "Thank you, Chief. Will continue my work...later." Volodja's only worry were signals his body sent to him, when it was pressed tightly against Sandy. Volodja didn't wanted to take advantage of the situation. Sandy was more to him than an attractive body...But Sandy's body belonged to the girl, he wanted to hold in his arms days and nights, just to feel her closeness and make love with, whenever he could. Volodja still didn't want to force himself on her, in case, she was not ready yet, so he kept kissing Sandy with love and passion he felt to her, silently praying that his treacherous body won't give him away, because there was only few layers of cloth between them - mostly his velvet robes and her thin satin dress. He didn't want that Sandy will take his love mistakenly as a lust.
All he could do to express his feelings for her without going too far and acting against her will, was to hold Sandy firmly but tenderly and kiss her lovingly and passionately, stopping only to gasp some air and whisper: "Love you so much, Sandy. Don't want to use you. Don't want to lose you." After those short pauses their lips and bodies were glued together again, although Volodja kept thinking about cold shower...

"Love you so much, Sandy. Don't want to use you. Don't want to lose you," Volodja whispered between the kisses he and Sandy showered each other with. Sandy pulled away and grinned as her red satin dress changed into a short red satin nightie, "You won't lose me as long as you keep finding me, and you can't use me if we're one in the same! I love you so much..."  Sandy wasn't sure her words were making any sense and didn't care as she lost herself in the sensation of yet another passionate kiss, then before she knew it she was unbuttoning his shirt, enjoying the feel of the action, as she pushed him playfully towards the bed. Volodja lost his shirt as he fell backwards into the bed, and they laughed and kissed until they were both undressed, articles of clothes thrown into the air as they disrobed, the last being her red nightie. They then paused for an instant, her muscular but shapely body on top of him, her blue eyes stared intently into his brown ones, as they enjoyed the warmth of each other's bodies. He kissed her passionately as he rolled her over, and they caressed each other, each touch magnified by the one before until every nerve in their bodies tingling awaiting the climatic explosion of feelings that occurred soon after he entered her. They lay together, their wet bodies so intertwined that an observer would be hard put to say where one began and the other ended, but there was no observer for this moment was theirs and theirs alone. It was moment they would share over and over again that day, and which Sandy, for one, hoped would never end. |

After several hours, Sandy and Volodja were laying together in THEIR bed, sharing the warmth of their bodies and that sensational feeling between two lovers, who finally had found each other to become one. Both of them were physically exhausted, but they felt happiness in their hearts and saw love in each other's eyes. Volodja moved his body on top of Sandy again and supporting himself with his hands, to avoid burdening her with his weight, lowered his handsome face close to her pretty one, whispered: "I love you, Sandy" and rubbed his nose tip gently against hers, before he kissed her again for a long time, hoping that their special moment will last forever.  After that, still staying with her in their bed, he stroke Sandy's hair and her soft skin, kissed her tenderly again and got up to his feet holding her hand with his and sliding it though his palm until he released her fingertip with slight sigh, after holding it few minutes. But it didn't meant an end of their time yet. He just went and fetched wine bottle and couple on glasses, filled them and got back to bed when they sat, side by side, having one hand around each other's nude bodies, looking deeply into each other's eyes, their foreheads gently put together, so they could drink and have some kisses, whenever they wanted. |
