Her nickname is "Tanj", and she's certainly living up to it.  For her, it seems, “There Ain’t No Justice.”  As a young engineer on a tramp space freighter, this Cheetah-morph found herself the victim of a scam, sold into slavery, and trained as a sex-slave.  Sold to pirates, she finds herself as a pawn in a much larger struggle.  This story contains bondage, non-consensual sex, and hopefully some humor, adventure and intrigue.  Adults only, PLEASE!

 

This is the last chapter.  My apologies to Raphael Sabatini; the ending was to be modeled on one of his classics, but I seem to have failed at, of all things, piracy.  Still, I hope it didn’t come out too badly.

 

 

Decision at New Tortugas

 

 

Infiltration

 

Eridani idly watched the small ship approach on the sensors.  It wasn't exactly a deep space fighter, and it wasn't exactly a yacht.  It was too small to be a freighter, unless you carried very high value, low-bulk cargos, and it certainly wasn't of local manufacture.  Moreover, it certainly wasn't a ship she recognized.  No matter, furrs around Port Royale seemed to wind up with new ships all the time, and it wasn't prudent to ask how they'd come by them.  Deciding the ship wasn't big enough to be worth turning on the guns, even as a precaution, she settled back to see who would alight.  Whoever they were, they seemed to know the route down…..

 

The ship found a spot between the Bheer tanker and Rommhuz's trader.  It just fit.  Eridani watched lazily, curiosity growing.  The ship settled on its landing jacks, and after a bit, the personnel lock opened.  Eridani leaned a little closer as the Fox emerged.  He wore an abbreviated uniform, of a type she didn't recognize, and in his left paw he carried a small box.  A hand weapon of some type was on his belt, but it looked as if it was there only because company regulations required it.  Smiling, the fox strolled through the vessels in the docking cavern, as he headed towards the connecting tunnel.  He seemed to know just where he was going.

 

Katja was waiting; her sister had informed her of the new arrival, and thus, as he came through the door to Callahan's, his appearance wasn't a real surprise.  Sooner or later, everyone in Port Royale came to Callahan's.  The Fox gave her a smile, and hopped up on a barstool.  The small box landed on the counter.  With an elbow on the bar, his head propped on his paw, he grinned at her for a minute, and then sighed; "Ah, such a vision of loveliness!" 

 

Katja raised an eyebrow, but managed to keep a straight face.  After a moment he sighed, as if deciding she was unobtainable.  Straightening he looked around; "I don't suppose you've seen the O'Shaunessy Clan around?" 

 

Katja thought for a moment and then purred; "No, haven't seen any of them in a good….. um, six months, I guess."  She carefully didn't ask what his business was with them, figuring if it was important, he'd tell her.  Some questions you didn't ask, in Port Royale.  Not if you were smart. 

 

The Fox nodded, and after a moment, tapped the box; "Well, I need to deliver this to them.  My instructions are that if they're not here, to wait for 'em." 

 

Katja looked at the box, and then at the Fox, and shrugged; "Suit yourself." 

 

The Fox smiled and nodded, his eyes shifting to the bottles behind the bar; "Um… what have you got that's non-alchoholic?  Not supposed to drink while on duty, and I guess that means until the O'Shaunessy's show up." 

 

Katja blinked and turned to look.  "Um… not much…. I've got some Antarean Cherry Juice I use in some mixed drinks…  and some Khola syrup….."  She looked back "I suppose I could conjure up some Yak milk, if I had to…" 

 

The Fox smiled; "Do you have any citroen juice?" 

 

Katja frowned; "You mean lemons?  Well…. Synthetic juice anyways." 

 

The Fox's grin widened; "I'll take some lemon juice in water, with a little sugar, and lots of ice." 

 

Katja's frown deepened; "Is that… healthy?"

 

---

 

The Fox had no trouble talking about his business there; it turned out he worked for a specialty delivery service, out of the Ko'has sector.  Supposedly, it was quite well known there, and he seemed a little miffed the Tigress hadn't heard of it.  In fact, for a while he tried to regale anyone in the bar who would listen, with some of his adventures.  Eridani had checked him out, more out of curiosity than anything else, and he seemed legit.  What the O'Shaunessy's had hired him for, he either didn't say or didn't know.  Day after day, he just wandered around, always carrying that little box, talking to folks, watching, and waiting.

 

Infiltration II

 

Eridani pressed the key that would put the plasma weapons on preheat.  The small ship was approaching like an out of control meteor…. Or maybe as if it was being chased.  Neither was really unheard of, in the New Tortugas system.  It tore through the asteroid belt surrounding the planet with a minimum of maneuvering, braking hard, dropping into the Rift as if it were on an attack run.  Weapons tracked it all the way down.  Whoever was flying had good reactions though, as it made it all the way through the tunnel at record speed, without scraping the wall.  And then it was setting down, audaciously, in the middle of the docking cavern.

 

The pilot was a large, lizardlike creature, wearing almost nothing, but seemingly covered in straps holding weapons, and strange devices.  Without so much as a glance at any of the other ships, he strode through the passage to the commons area.  There, he stopped and looked around, with all the emotion of a surveillance camera.  Then, turning on one heel, he turned and entered Callahan's.

 

The Fox looked up from his lemonade.  The Washburn Sun-Times crossword puzzle was forgotten as he watched the Lizard stalk in.  Katja also watched him carefully; her favorite weapon was loaded, and just below the top of the bar. She had no doubt that the dart could penetrate the Lizard's scaly hide, but she did wonder if the neurotoxin it contained would be effective.  Usually it was the best way to quiet "rowdy" types in the bar, with minimum collateral damage.  The Lizard moved through the bar, looking neither left nor right, until he'd arrived at the back corner opposite the bar.  There he roughly pulled the table from the booth there, and took a seat, his back in the corner.  He sat there with his arms spread out to either side, along the seat backs, his legs splayed in front of him, as if he were reclining on a throne.  With his eyes fastened on the doorway, he waited…..

 

Katja looked at the Fox, who looked back; after a moment they both just shrugged at each other.  The Fox went back to his three-dimensional crossword, and Katja went back to washing glassware, in preparation for the evening rush.

 

Infiltration III

 

Palmer stepped from the ship and paused to adjust his spectacles.  Turning he nodded to the Walrus standing in the ship's only airlock; "Thank you for your assistance, Captain Xchitwith.  Are you sure you're not interested in upgrading the electronics in your…."  As the Walrus scowled, Palmer's sales pitch gradually ground to a stop; "Ah… all right then.  Maybe I'll see you on the return trip."  Palmer's case landed at his feet with a thump, as the Walrus thumbed the button to retract the ramp.

 

Eridani watched in amusement.  Port Royal didn't get very many traveling salesmen, and she wondered what this one might be hawking…..

 

Katja was just putting the wine glass in the rack as the Hound shuffled in.  She took in the cheap suit and the sample case at a glance and smiled.  Palmer hoisted himself up onto a barstool and smiled at the Tigress; "Ma'am, I'm told that I should speak to you about temporary lodging.  I'll be here for a while, making a few sales calls, and I'll need a room." 

 

Katja nodded; "I've got a few rooms left in the residence tunnel.  How long you going to be here?" 

 

The Hound shrugged; "About a week, I think.  I've got passage booked out on the "Sally Anne". 

 

Katja's eyebrows rose, and she glanced at the Fox; "Isn't that the O'Shaunessy Clan's ship?" 

 

The Hound fumbled in his sample case for a moment, pulling out a tattered itinerary; he studied it for a while and then shrugged; "I believe the Captain's name is Sean O'Shaunessy, if that's any help." 

 

The Fox three stools down the bar grinned; "Great!  If they're on schedule, I get to deliver my package and go home!"  He turned back to gaze at the Tigress; "Not that I'm in that much of a hurry, you understand."  He winked at her and then turned to the Hound; "Get paid the same, whether I'm sitting here enjoying her company, or on the road…."

 

Port Royale I

 

Doodles watched the Lynx, and shook his head.  The Professor certainly looked the part.  It couldn't possibly be an accident; it HAD to be intentional.  Dressed in a white double-breasted lab coat, with thick rubber gloves on his paws, and heavy goggles over his eyes, he looked every bit the mad scientist.  The only thing that spoiled the effect was the plaid slacks he was wearing.  Leaning over, the Rabbit muttered to the Otter; "you know, we're going to have to talk to him about that." 

 

The Otter nodded sagely "yeah, if he doesn't do something about the eddy currents from the main power supply, he'll never get rid of the static electricity.  Just LOOK at how its making his hair stand on end!" 

 

Doodles just looked at the Otter and sighed; "Hopeless.  You're both hopeless."

 

---

 

Corey carefully adjusted a vernier, and then threw a switch.  In the center of the test stage, a bright spot appeared, and then grew rapidly into a ring.  The center of the ring was jet black, and stars could be seen.  Air started to scream through the hole.  A moment later, a small device catapulted a fist-sized rock through the hole, and an instant later, the hole closed, shrinking to a bright white point, and then blinking out.  Corey turned to his audience; "See, MUCH better control!" 

 

The Otter nodded; "Yes, Professor, indeed, much better control." 

 

Doodles nodded in agreement; "Yup, the hole didn't wander off the stage, or grow to uncontrollable proportions.  Better still, the new refrigerator didn't move more than a foot, with the airflow, much less vanish through the hole….. but…."

 

Corey pushed the goggles back on his head; "But WHAT?" 

 

Doodles shrugged; "Can you get the rock back?" 

 

The Otter grinned; "Or better yet, our original refrigerator?  I can't keep putting that Tigress off forever, you know….  She's going to want those meat pies back one day." 

 

Corey looked blank; "Can't you just tell her we ATE them?" 

 

The Otter shook his head; "Not if we've been showing up for dinner every night….." 

 

Doodles nodded sagely; "There were twenty kilos of frozen food in there.  And I don't think any of us have gained enough weight to make eating them a credible excuse.  Besides, she might want the refrigerator back as well."  

 

The rabbit cocked an ear to one side and looked seriously at the Lynx; "you DID tell her you were going to borrow it as an auxiliary cooling unit for your experiments, didn't you?" 

 

Corey stared at the ceiling for a minute, muttered something that sounded like "they're NEVER satisfied" and then sighed; "All right, I'll get the blasted refrigerator back!"  Fixing the Rabbit with a glare, he growled "AND your damned rock!  Besides, with twice the cooling capacity, the secondary flux capacitor might just run a little better….."

 

---

 

Doodles turned the rock over in his paws, "Well, Professor, I have to admit it LOOKS like the same rock,  but how can we know for sure?

 

---

 

Eridani watched the Rabbit charge from the room running… well, running like a frightened rabbit.  A moment later a rock thudded into the corridor wall opposite the door.  The door, unimpressed, hissed closed.  Eridani stared at the door for a moment, shrugged to herself, and continued her trek back to Ops.

 

---

 

"All right, this time there's a BEACON on the rock.  Watch!  I'll send it through the portal, and THEN open another portal, along its projected path, and CATCH the SAME rock!  Just WATCH, Doubter!"

 

---

 

Katja felt the ground shake.  Rock dust drifted down slowly from the ceiling.  Looking upwards she checked for cracks.  Yes, they were more than a kilometer below the surface, but somehow it just seemed prudent. 

 

The Fox blinked, and shook the rock dust off his newsfax; "What was that?" 

 

Katja shrugged; "Don't know.  But we've got a lot of asteroids in this system; not all of their trajectories are adequately mapped.  We might have taken a hit." 

 

The Fox just nodded, and resumed reading. 

 

Across the bar, the Lizard hadn't moved a muscle.  But then, he generally didn't.

 

---

 

Eridani exited Ops at a run.  Her sensors hadn't shown any inbound rocks.  And the seismic sensors had shown the origin of the shock as right here.  That could only mean Corey.

 

---

 

Doodles scratched his head, and looked at the rock; "No, Professor, I don't believe that's the same rock." 

 

The Otter nodded; "No sign of the beacon." 

 

The Rabbit nodded in agreement; "And it's a lot bigger." 

 

"And it was moving a lot faster" the Otter mumbled…

 

Corey sighed; "All right.  I yield."  He looked at the far side of the room; most of the far wall was nothing but fractured stone, spalled from the wall, but embedded in the middle, was a chunk of nickel-iron rock as big as, well, as big as a refrigerator.  "You two get some dustpans, and brooms, and tidy up a little, while I try and figure out what went wrong."

 

---

 

Eridani watched the Rabbit go by, carrying a trash can full of gravel; "Do I want to know?" 

 

Doodles stopped and turned back; "No." 

 

Eridani just sighed and nodded, once again glad that she'd put the Professor at the end of an unused tunnel, as far from the rest of Port Royale as was physically possible.

 

---

 

Doodles hid behind the refrigerator, the Otter behind him.  The refrigerator had been bolted to the floor, heavy metal strapping securing it in place.  It was a good place to hide.  Corey flexed his paws inside the thick gloves, and then flipped the switch.  Again, the bright white point flared in the middle of the test stage, expanding rapidly to form a ring.  As air whistled through the opening, the catapult fired, throwing the rock, containing yet another beacon equipped rock, into the hole.  Corey flipped a switch and the hole closed, the bright white light vanishing.  Then, he consulted a small notebook and adjusted several verniers.  His eyes on the chronometer, he waited a calculated amount of time and flipped the switch. The bright light reappeared, grew to form the hole in the fabric of space and time… and then a rock flashed through it, visibly slowing as it fought the flow of air in the opposite direction.  Corey flipped the switch, and the hole vanished.  Striding across the floor, he picked up the rock and held it aloft; "SUCCESS!"

 

Behind the refrigerator, the Otter pulled a credit chip from his pants pocket and passed it to the Rabbit, as both stared at the Lynx.

 

Corey's eyes slowly went wide; with a howl he opened his paw and tried to drop the rock.  However, it seemed to be stuck to the palm of his glove.  Howling, he waved his arm wildly, trying to get rid of the rock.

 

Doodles frowned; "What's that he's yelling?" 

 

The Otter shrugged; "I think its "cold" but it's a little hard to tell…. 

 

Doodles nodded, rose and moved out from behind the refrigerator.  Grabbing the coffee pot with one paw he caught the Lynx's arm as it went past, and in one quick motion poured the hot coffee over the professor's paw, rock and all.

 

Corey howled; the rock shattered, its steaming remnants scattering over the floor.

 

---

 

"Actually, its an amazing discovery". 

 

The Otter blinked; "How so, Professor?" 

 

The Lynx, his paw wrapped in a towel, just grinned; "Well, my boy, it's a simple matter of energy balances.  The rock went in at room temperature, but emerged somewhere around superconducting temperatures.  That's a not-inconsiderable energy loss, something that I just hadn't accounted for in my calculations.  It would explain, the, ah "targeting" problems we've been having.  Well, help explain them, anyways." 

 

The Otter nodded slowly. 

 

Doodles grinned; "Does that mean that we might be able to find the missing refrigerator?"

 

---

 

Katja frowned as the three trooped into Callahans.  Each was carrying a large cardboard box.  With a flourish, the Rabbit put his box down, bent and retrieved what looked like a crumpled ball of tinfoil.  With a grin, he placed it on the bar in front of her; "Madam, your missing meat pies!" 

 

Katja just stared; "Good LORD, what did you DO to them?"

 

---

 

Corey shrugged; "It really was a function of velocity." 

 

Katja frowned "Let me get this right; the refrigerator was sucked into your experiment; that's the bad news.  The good news is that you were able to figure out where it was sucked TO, and to go back there and retrieve it?  But in the process the refrigerator, meat pies and all, impacted the far wall of the laboratory?" 

 

The Lynx smiled; "YES!" 

 

The Otter sighed; "and at a not inconsiderable velocity, I'm afraid.  That's why they're a little, ah, "mangled". 

 

The Rabbit grinned; "Good thing they were frozen hard as a rock.  Hey, at least they're still edible!" 

 

The Otter mumbled; "If you can peel the tin pan off…."  The Tigress just sighed.

 

---

 

The Fox pretended to read his newspaper.  He'd caught every word.  It sounded MOST interesting…  Smiling to himself, he calmly turned a page, not having read a word.

 

In the corner, the Lizard just sat there, motionless, his eyes, as always, on the door.

 

Palmer looked at the Lynx curiously; "Sir, could it be that you simply don't have the best possible electronics for your, ah, "experiments?"  I represent Hvamersham electronics, renowned across the Empire for the finest in….. laboratory equipment, and I'm sure we could…. Be….. of… ah…. Assistance…..

 

Corey just glared at the Hound, as the salesfur slowly ran out of steam; "Sir, I'll have you know that my research is beyond the cutting edge.  Your… products are simply… Inadequate!  No, thank you sir, I'll build my own instruments, thankyouverymuch!"  Turning, Corey glared at his "lab assistants"; "Come, whe have work to do!"

 

The return to Port Royale

 

Zassa looked at Sabina and growled; "Are you SURE you want to do this?" 

 

The Kitten grinned back; "Yes, Mistress.  Besides, how much more boring could it be than the trip out?" 

 

Zassa shook her head, and spinning the Kitten around, checked her restraints.  Then, placing a paw on Sabina's head, she pushed her down until she could crawl into the cage….

 

Kath watched, and then turned to Wanda; "Mistress, are you sure….?" 

 

Wanda nodded resolutely; "Absolutely.  You have chores to do on the trip back and I will not have you lounging around in that cage, with that sex fiend, when there are things to do!" 

 

Kath just shot Sabina a disappointed look and then shrugged.  However, the visor the Kitten was wearing over her eyes prevented her from catching the look.  "As Mistress wishes…."

 

---

 

Tanj made a note in the margin, and then flipped a page.  The book on theoretical physics just didn't seem to correspond with what the Kurani had told her. Either there'd been an error in translation, or the book was wrong.  With a sigh she looked at the reader, and wondered if the instructions the Kurani had given her would have been any clearer in the original Kurani?  But then she'd have to LEARN Kurani first before she could tell.  Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea…..

 

---

 

Hinoki watched the sensor display.  Their Kurani escort was still there, and as near as he could tell, in the same positions, to the millimeter.  He wasn't sure if he'd be glad when they departed, or not.  At least while they were there, no one was going to mess with them……

 

Boredom:

 

Tanj yawned, closed the file, and shook her head; "Well, I've had about enough of theoretical physics.  Just can't TAKE anymore! 

 

Wanda nodded; "I can well imagine.  So, what do you want to do?  Care to try another "mystery"? 

 

Zassa shook her head; "No, that one was fun, but I don't think we could take another.  Too much of the same." 

 

Hinoki chuckled; "How about a scavenger hunt?" 

 

Tanj laughed; "I think just about all of us know where every item is, in this ship.  How long would it take to find items on a list?" 

 

Hinoki nodded and sipped his cup of coffee. 

 

Wanda shrugged; "How about some sort of athletic competition?  I think we could all stand to loose a little weight."  Glances were exchanged around the wardroom table and almost everyone went 'Nah….." in unison. 

 

Silence reigned for a while, and then Tanj grinned; "Maybe that scavenger hunt has some promise.  What if we were competing to rack up not items found, but things done?" 

 

Zassa winced; "What, like painting the inside of the ship?  No thanks." 

 

Tanj chuckled "Oh, I think we could make it more interesting than that.  What if we worked up a list of sexual activities, from vanilla to extreme, assigned point values, formed teams, and then tried to out-do the others before we got back to Port Royale?

 

Dynotaku looked up from his paper; "You wouldn't have to work up a list.  A guy by the name of Martin worked up the basic list ages ago.  Just use that." 

 

Zassa blinked; "Never heard of him.  You got a copy of the list?" 

 

Dynotaku chuckled; "Of course. What Dom doesn't?" 

 

The Vixen just blinked. 

 

Hinoki chuckled; "I think I"ve heard of this guy.  Why don't you show us the list and we'll go from there." 

 

Dynotaku nodded, folded his paper and rose, to squeeze out of the wardroom.

 

---

 

Tanj watched the list print out, and grinned.  Soooooo many of the things on the list were….. routine.  At least for THIS crew.  Still, it might be fun to work through the list, just for something to do.  And it might help, well, if not sharpen her skills, then at least maintain them.

 

Wanda scanned the list as it printed out:

List courtesy of Martin

 

 

Zassa shook her head; "We're going to have to get Sabina out of the cage for this one….

 

Wanda sighed and shook her head; "Some of this stuff sounds dangerous; maybe we should just strike them from the list.”

 

The Vixen looked over Wanda's shoulder and shook her head; "no, just give 'em higher point values, for the danger." 

 

Tanj frowned; "No, I agree with Wanda; the Asphyxiation is just too risky."  She grinned at the Vixen; "You want higher points, we'll let you tackle the bullwhip stuff, and welcome to it!" 

 

The Vixen just grinned.

 

Hinoki grinned his best evil grin at the Unicorn and growled; "well I think that for the points to count you should handle the "give" as well as the "get" in each category!" 

 

Dynotaku scowled; "Now wait a minute, my good fur, I'm a Dom.  And straight, to boot….." 

 

Tanj chuckled; "All right, we'll just adjust the points accordingly; do both the "give" and the "get" in the category and get double points.  She grinned at Dynotaku; "Or would you rather we gave you a "handicap"? 

 

Dynotaku drew himself up to his full height, the tip of his horn touching the overhead; "Certainly not.  I'm sure I can turn in a decent performance without any handicap…."  He grinned "just give me the Vixen…"

 

Hinoki looked at the list and smiled.  Zassa was subbing for Dynotaku, and he was sure the Vixen was in for a truly rough time.  If Dynotaku was to have a chance at winning they'd HAVE to get into the more extreme categories.  He was paired with Sashi.  Wanda, of course, was going to be topping Kath, and Tanj was going to be working with a rather pissed Sabina.  The Kitten didn't want to exit the cage, determined to exceed her Mistress' record.  Putting down the list, he turned to Sashi; "So… where do you think we should start?"

 

---

 

Sabina squirmed a little; "Are you sure this is fair, Mistress?" 

 

Tanj nodded; "Arm and leg binders are one category; the chastity belt is a second, and the prod gag a third.  You suffer through it for an hour, and then we change places.  Double points for both categories." 

 

The Kitten shrugged; "seems… too simple." 

 

Tanj shrugged and nodded; "We'll start slow and see how the others do; if we have to, maybe we'll move into some of the more difficult stuff.  Now open wide; this gag's a little on the big side."

 

---

 

Wanda purrrred as the Mink's fingers worked over the muscles in her back; she'd been training Kath in massage anyways, and as that was a legitimate category, she figured it'd be a good place to start.  Especially if they moved on into the Cunnilingus category afterwards….

 

---

 

Dynotaku blinked at the Vixen; "Are you sure you wouldn't start with some fancy ropework?  Its my specialty, you know…." 

 

The Vixen grinned; "Yes, I know, but if we're going to beat the others, we're going to have to rack up the higher-point categories.  What, are you afraid to give lil' ol' me a spanking?  I won't break, you know…." 

 

The Unicorn just grinned; "Don't say I didn't warn you……"

 

---

 

Zassa flinched as the Unicorn's hand crashed down on her left asscheek.  So far she'd managed to keep from crying out, but she didn't think she'd be able to hold it back too much longer.  This one was much stronger than he looked, his open-palm smacks rapidly heating her flesh.  And he didn't take as much time between smacks to stroke and tease as Roland did….  No, he was MUCH more businesslike…  Whimpering softly as his palm crashed down again, she wondered what count he intended to go to, to satisfy the category?

 

Dynotaku smiled, as he brought his palm down on her right asscheek.  His palm was stinging, and he could feel the heat through the Vixen's fur.  Her ass must be stinging even more than his palm. But he wasn't about to stop just yet.  She was so wet she was dripping all over his lap, and he wondered if he could bring her off with  a minimum of caressing?  Chuckling to himself he brought his palm down right on her sex, feeling droplets of her dew spatter.  He felt her squirm, and felt her moan, but before she could even decide if she'd liked that one more or less, he brought his palm down on her left asscheek again…..

 

It had taken a while.  His arm was tired, but he was convinced she was right on the edge.  Chuckling he gave her one more swat, and then lightly traced his index finger through the quivering wetness between her thighs.  As he expected, as he'd planned, howling, she dissolved in a quivering mass, as her climax blossomed…..

 

---

 

Tanj struggled just a little, testing her restraints.  The arm binder that had fit the Kitten so perfectly was a little small for her.  Sabina had still laced it TIGHT.  A similar sheath covered her legs from toe to upper thigh, holding them tight together.  So tight the metal of the chastity belt was pressed into her flesh rather uncomfortably.  And somewhere the Kitten had found a prod gag that was even bigger than the one she'd had.  Tanj shrugged to herself, and counted her heartbeats, waiting for the time period to run out.  It wasn't as if it was something she'd never done before…….

 

---

 

Kath purrrred and licked softly at Wanda.  Cunnilingus was a different category than "69", but that's what things had devolved into.  She'd found that getting a massage from Wanda had been shear heaven, better than she'd ever expected.  And now, the contest largely forgotten, they each tried to out-do each other's tonguing, nibbling and licking…..  Contest?  Who cared about some silly contest…..?

 

---

 

Sashi swayed, upside-down, tightly bound.  They were trying to cover inverted suspension, spreader bars and fellatio in one session…..  As she licked at the Cheetah-Monster, she thought once again how "not-unusual" this was.  At least not for her Master and her…..

 

---

 

Sabina frowned; "I don't get it.  THIS is on the list?" 

 

Tanj shrugged; "I need to spend some time on the flight deck.  A commo headset DOES fall under the Headset/earplugs category, although I doubt whoever wrote the list envisioned this.  And if you "give" it and I "get" it, and then I put one on you, it counts for double points.  Doesn't it?" 

 

The Kitten shrugged and placed the headset on the Cheetah's head as if it were a crown.  Tanj reached up to adjust it, and then picking up the headset from the Ops station she put it on Sabina's head.  The noise cancellation headphones made the flight deck instantly quiet, but the boom microphones transmitted Tanj's words without any problem at all.  "There, snug, and I hope, comfy.  Now, lets see if I can't tie you to the station chair, and while you suffer through that, I'll handle some routine ship-type work.  At least we'll get SOME points…

 

---

 

Sabina chuckled; Tanj had started an audio file on her headset; it sounded like the track from some XXX rated holofilm; nothing but moans and gasps….  Sitting there, tied to the chair, she found herself becoming unexpectedly aroused…..

 

Port Royale II

 

Brolly looked at the Lizard; "He doesn't move much, does he, Ma'am?" 

 

Katja shot the lizard a look and then shrugged; "nope.  Once every couple of days he'll growl "Food", and I bring him something.  Doesn't seem to matter what.  He has one drink in the evening, nursing it for hours.  He pays in cash, and doesn't tip.  He leaves at closing time, and comes back at opening time.  The rest of the time he just SITS there and stares at the door.

 

The Fox shifted on his favorite barstool; "I don't know how he does it.  I'm about to go crazy while I wate for the O'Shaunessy Clan.  He grinned at the Tigress; "Isn't there ANYTHING else to DO around here?" 

 

Katja laughed, and gestured at the Ferret; "well, if you get desperate enough, you could always make use of Brolly here." 

 

The Ferret made a face, sticking her tongue out at the Tigress, but there was a smile in her eyes. 

 

The Fox chuckled; "What, again?"  He leaned on the bar, grinning at the Tigress; "What I'd REALLY like, is to do YOU!" 

 

Katja just smiled and turned to sashay down the bar, to put a bheer mug away.  Turning, she looked over her shoulder and just gave the Fox a wink.

 

---

 

 

The Fox stroked Brolly's tummy lightly; "And here I thought you said this place had so many orgies…." 

 

Brolly grinned, shivering at his touch.  He'd bound her arms behind her; she was helpless to resist his attentions, which was just the way she liked it.  Squirming, she shrugged; "I think she's playing some game with you.  Dragging it out, seeing how long she can make it last, seeing how much sexual tension she can build."

 

The Fox's paw drifted lower, to dawdle over the Ferret's mons; he idly stroked her fur there, creating patterns and then smoothing them out, teasing her….  "Well, that's a game two can play.  For a while, anyways.  The O'Shaunessy Clan shows up, and I'm going to have to leave.  Just as soon as I get them to sign for the package.  But until then, I'll be glad to play her game.  Now, little one, you ready to go again?"  Brolly laughed and nodded.  The Fox chuckled and pushed her back, to cover her body with his……

 

---

 

Eridani looked at her sister and shrugged; "Palmer seems to be exactly what he claims to be; the sales agent for a somewhat disreputable firm that reps everything from sexual stimulant drugs to security electronics." 

 

Katja winced; "Yeah, he's been trying to sell me some of those drugs…"  The Tigress grinned; "Like I need em!" 

 

The sisters laughed for a moment and then Eridani sighed; "Can't find a danged thing on the Lizard.  Ship doesn't seem to be registered.  I've tried running his image through the usual sources; he doesn't seem to be wanted anywhere, doesn't seem to have any permits on file that require visual ID's.  The prints on that glass you gave me came up blank." 

 

Katja shrugged; "OK, so if he's a criminal, he's kept it VERY well hidden.  On the other hand, he MIGHT not be wanted anywhere…" 

 

Eridani scoffed; "Around here?  HIGHLY unlikely, Sis.  No, I've got a bad feeling about this one.  I'd keep a very careful eye on him.  Meanwhile, I'm going to keep digging."  The Tigress leaned back in her station chair and stretched; "I don't suppose there's a way you could get a DNA sample from him…." 

 

Katja just laughed.

 

---

 

Corey held his breath and flipped the switch.  The viewscreen showed the typical pinpoint bright light form, and expand into a ring.  However, as the asteroid approached, it wavered.  Somewhere in the background, an alarm started hooting, and the Otter was yelling something.  As the asteroid approached, the ring lost definition, twisting, distorting.  The rock came apart as it passed through the ring, the center part being cleaved away, being sent somewhere else, while the parts that had passed outside the distorted ring fragmented, flying away like the pellets from an old-fashioned shotgun blast.  When the image cleared the bright ring was nowhere to be seen.

 

---

 

Eridani watched the lights flicker in Ops and let out a low growl.  Turning to the engineering panel she watched as a current surge caused breakers to blow.  And then "M" transformer went off line.  That sent another surge down the grid, and "Q" blew…  The Tigress got very busy, trying to pull the disconnects, to keep from loosing the whole Port Royale grid….

 

---

 

Doodles blinked; it was dark.  No, it was more than that, it was DARK.  He couldn't see a thing.  Somewhere across the chamber something crashed, and a muffled curse was heard.  Then Professor Corey struck an old-fashioned kitchen match.  As the Lynx looked about, he sighed; "Did I do that?"

 

---

 

Eridani studied the panel carefully.  When you had the doors open on the massive breakers, with all that power exposed, you HAD to be careful.  That much juice had been known to reach out and "touch" someone, from unexpected distances.  Hence the ceramic insulating armor.  Checking the paper schematic against what she was looking at, she reached out with a hotstick and gently pushed one of the relays closed…..

 

---

 

Doodles smiled as the lights came back on… but then they flickered, and went out again.  "That can't be good" he mumbled to the Otter….

 

---

 

Katja helped her sister wrestle the replacement breaker into place.  Both were wearing powered maintenance exoskeletons, the headlights bobbing and weaving as they tried to position the multi-ton breaker into place.  It might have been easier if it had been built to work with the rest of the switchgear, but like so much else of Port Royale, it was a hodgepodge of salvaged stuff….  Finally they had it in place, and while Katja bolted it down, Eridani started wiring it up……

 

---

 

"OK Sis, cross your fingers…."  Eridani turned as far away from the breaker as she could, shielding the insulated suit's optical pickups, and tentatively, stabbed the "engage" button.  There was a whine of the breaker's hydraulics, something screeched as if massive fingernails were being dragged against a monumental blackboard, and then there was the sound of a huge electrical discharge. 

 

For a moment, Katja thought the door was going to fly off the housing, a fireball expanding into the motor control center, and then…. Then everything quieted down to a gentle hum, and the lights came on. 

 

Eridani straightened slowly; "OK, that's main power.  Now lets see what's left of the defense grid…."

 

---

 

Doodles peeked around the door of Callahan's, his eyes sweeping the room from just above floor level.  The Tigress bartender was behind the bar, but she wasn't dressed in her customary… well, nothing.  Instead she was wearing some sort of plate armor arrangement.  And she wasn't looking very happy.  "Um……"  At his tentative speech, the Tigress' head swiveled, her eyes locking on him, like a homing missile acquiring its target; "NO.  No, its NOT safe for you, for ANY of you to come out yet.  Sis is still working on trying to get the sensors back up, let alone any of the rest of the defense grid.  If she runs across any of you, I won't be held responsible!"  Doodles just swallowed, nodded, and slipped out as quietly as he could.

 

---

 

The Fox sipped his lemonade and smiled.  Interesting.  Whatever the "researchers" had done had taken out the planet's entire defense system.  MOST interesting……

 

The Hound fiddled with his sample case, and hazarded a glance at the Tigress; "You know, Miss, my company reps a line of power distribution equipment…  Perhaps you'd be interested…."  The glare from the Tigress answered that question, and the Hound put the brochure back in his case with a sigh.  Talk about hard cases…..

 

The Lizard watched the door.  The sudden darkness hadn't bothered him.  The failure of the ventilation system hadn't bothered him.  Trivialities beneath his notice.

 

---

 

Corey sighed and spread his paws; "It's a distance thing.  The further from the planet that we try and open a portal, the more power it takes.  Now, there ought to be enough power, with that salvaged reactor, its just not quite in the right form."  Idly he scratched his head; "We need someone more skilled in high energy power systems."  He looked up at the Otter; "Lets get in touch with Tanj and tell her we need a consultant." 

 

The Otter shot the Rabbit a glance and then, looking back, shook his head; "That…. Might be difficult." 

 

Corey raised an eyebrow; "Why's that?" 

 

The Otter looked at the floor and mumbled "Well, for one she's in the Oligarchy." 

 

Corey frowned; "What in the world would she be doing there?  No, wait a minute, I seem to remember her saying something about that….  Hmmm.  Doubt they've got decent communications systems there…."  After a moment he looked up and grinned; "What about that lady she worked for?  You know, the… black feline?  Yes, her.  Maybe she could help….."

 

Spy vs. Spy

 

The Fox stared at the display on his ship and sighed.  He'd confirmed the information. He was waiting for the O'Shaunnesy clan because his masters were sure they'd never show up.  It gave him an excellent reason to hang around, almost indefinitely.  Of course, the fact that they wouldn't show up probably meant they were dead, but that wasn't his concern.  What WAS his concern was that the Hound claimed to be waiting for them as well.  Did the O'Shaunnesy clan haul passengers?    Upon reflection, the Fox figured they'd probably do anything for a fee….  But was the Hound on the up-and-up?  He'd sent an encrypted message back to his masters, but some local snooping was called for as well.  Rising, he moved back into the engineering section of his ship, opening a secret panel to reveal all sorts of goodies.  Looking over the selection, he picked up a couple of the latest bugging devices.  That should do for a start…

 

---

 

The Hound paced in his tiny room.  The Fox was supposed to deliver a package to the O'Shaunnesy clan; well, THAT wasn't going to happen.  He'd selected them as transportation for the next leg of his journey knowing they weren't going to show up.  But it seemed the competition HAD shown up.  So.  What was he going to do about it?  Opening his sample case he looked through several of the devices that might be useable.  He was, after all, repping several munitions firms…..

 

---

 

The Fox waited until the Hound had left his room, and headed for the bar.  It took almost nothing to jimmy the lock.  However, the Hound hadn't relied just on that.  There were three hairs stuck between the door and the doorframe.  These he carefully removed, and saved.  Then, slipping inside he looked around for the best place to put the bugs.

 

---

 

Eridani saw the light flashing on the ops console, and straightened.  Grinning at the image on the security monitor she purred; "Well, now, things are finally starting to get interesting!

 

---

 

The Hound felt the slight vibration from his pager; he knew that code.  Someone was in his room, and he was pretty sure it wasn't housekeeping!  Turning, he headed for the docking cavern.  If the Fox was in his room, it probably would be a good time to try and break into the Fox's ship.

 

---

 

Eridani grinned wider, showing fangs, as the security camera picked up the Hound heading for the docking cavern.  Now things were getting REAL interesting!

 

---

 

The Fox did a quick search, but didn't turn up anything.  Slipping back out the door, he replaced the hairs, sticking them in place with a bit of spit, and then, tossing his package from palm to palm, he headed for the bar.

 

---

 

The Hound scratched his head.  The security system on the Fox's ship was… extreme.  Better than an Alarmco X53.  Better than Ipswitch Industries Sentriguard 04.  In fact, it bore a strong resemblance to the system used by Imperial Intelligence.  The Hound grinned; killing Imperial Intelligence agents was something almost no one in their right mind would dare to do.  However, the Gates World Cartel had a long history of… altercations with Imperial Intelligence.  And he dared.  Besides, in a place like this, who'd notice a random assassination?  Not these scum.  Grinning, he fished around in his sample case until he found the directional mine.  Putting it against the landing jack of the Fox's ship, he moved back and then put the sensors between the Bheer tanker and some weird ship that looked like a half-melted arrowhead.  When the Fox came back to his ship, the mine should eliminate the problem.  And of course the Hound would be quite visible somewhere else when it happened.

 

---

 

The Fox looked around Callahan's and blinked.  He could have sworn the Hound was coming here.  But if he wasn't here, then where was he?  Taking his usual barstool, because he dare not break routine, he wondered where the bastard was?  Maybe, just maybe, he was a legitimate salesfurr, and was making a sales call on one of the ships in port….  Naw, that couldn't be.  The Fox sipped the mug of lemonade the Tigress plunked down in front of him, and thought that just for the trouble of making him sweat, the Hound was going to have to go, innocent or not.

 

The Lizard regarded the Fox, as he did everything else in the bar, with an even, inscrutable stare, not moving a muscle.

 

Boredom II

 

Sabina blinked; "FORCED masturbation?"  She looked up at Tanj; "when has ANYONE had to FORCE me to masturbate?" 

 

Tanj just chuckled and shook her head; "Quit complaining and do it anyways.  Your choice of toys.  Just get it on film, as proof." 

 

Sabina nodded; "Yes, Mistress…"  She grinned; "Just let me run back to my cabin and get some toys……."

 

---

 

Zassa tried to yawn.  She WANTED to yawn, but the head harness held her jaws shut around the ring gag.  Sleep deprivation.  It was on the list, and so far the Unicorn had been merciless at keeping her awake.  How long had it been?  She couldn't remember.

 

Dynotaku looked at the Vixen and smiled.  He'd tied her, suspended, in an improvised sling; again, his knotwork was magnificent. She hung there, as if seated in a recliner, her back at about a 60 degree angle, her thighs spread and elevated, her calves dangling.  He could walk right up between her legs and fuck her; she hung at the perfect height for that.  And while he'd taken advantage of her, in that manner, that wasn't what he was after.  Not at the moment, anyways.  He crouched between her legs, looking up at her, waiting…..

 

Zassa felt her eyes closing; there wasn't a thing she could do about it; she was just too tired……

 

Dynotaku smiled and brought the knotted, multi-strand whip down across the Vixen's exposed sex.  Zassa let out a moan and jerked in her suspension, her body swaying, her eyes fluttering open.  Whipping - genitals (get) / (give)… Whipping - knotted whip (get) / (give) another item on the list….  Well, it WAS keeping her awake……

 

---

 

Dynotaku watched her eyelids flutter again, and smiled.  She'd been awake for 48 hours, and that was probably enough.  Bringing the whip up from below, catching her just under her tail, he smoothly rose to his feet, driving his rampant shaft DEEP into her sex.  Again the Vixen's eyes fluttered open, weakly.  He grinned and pumped her a few times and then brought the whip across from the right, to strike her left breast.

 

Zassa groaned, and shuddered as he pounded his meat into her; he really did know her too well….  Concentrating on the thrusting of his cock, waiting for the next fall of the lash, she floated off in an orgasmic haze…..

 

---

 

Kath raised an eyebrow; "Honestly, Mistress…..!" 

 

Wanda chuckled; "No argument, Pet; its on the list.  Medical Scenes (Dom), and (Sub), Enema get/give and speculum (anal).  Pulling a rubber glove over her paw, the Wolverine lass grinned; "All routine, at least for me….  Now turn around and bend over; there's a good girl!"

 

---

 

Tanj purred and rested her feet on the new "coffee table".  Sabina just grumbled around her gag.  She'd been bound on paws and knees, a TIGHT leather corset encasing her middle.  A plate with some leftover lasagna, a mug of bheer, and Tanj's heels rested on her back.  Her only consolation was that when "dinner" was over, she and the Cheetah would change places.  "Lets see how SHE likes a cold mug on her back!"

 

---

 

Sashi closed the diaper pin and then tugged lightly at the diaper.  She grinned down at Hinoki; "There you go, Baby; all clean, and powdered, and a nice fresh diaper!  Now, I think its time for your nap!" 

 

Hinoki grinned up at her and nodded; "I agree…. Just as soon as I diaper YOU…."

 

---

 

Zassa opened one eye.  She seemed to be encased head to toe in a "sleepsack", her arms pinioned at her side.  Smiling, she closed her eye, and went back to sleep.  About time that Unicorn let her get some rest…..

 

---

 

Tanj's gaze flicked to the sensor display; by her reckoning they were just approaching the Kurani frontier.  It had been so much more relaxing, not having to sneak out as they'd snuck in.  Yes, there were the Kurani escorts peeling off.  No comm. call,  no goodbyes; the warships just departed, as silent as ever.  Now they were really on their own…..  Moving her paw just a fraction, she engaged the cloaking device.  After a quick look at the sensor display, she checked over the engineering displays, and then again checked the cloaking device, in detail; everything was just as it should be…..  The course correction was minor, but it should confound anyone trying to follow them….  Should.

 

Rising, the nude Cheetah stretched.  She'd gathered up all of her clothing, and what little Sabina had on board, and locked them away.  "Forced" nudity.  Well, it WAS on the list….  With a yawn she headed out to the wardroom, telling herself that she'd just have a cup of coffee.  Forced weight loss was on the list, and she could stand to loose a couple of pounds…..

 

She hadn't been gone long, when the first sensor ghost appeared.  The Sensor suite picked up something that may or may not have been above the ship, decided it was too tenuous to alarm, and then the ghost faded anyways…..

 

Tanj peeked into the Wardroom.  To her surprise, Sabina was still standing in the corner.  The kitten was completely unfettered, and looked bored to tears.  Tanj left her there while she made a pot of coffee, and slowly drank a cup.  After putting the cup in the dishwasher she smiled; "OK, Sabina; you take a break; I'll stand in the corner for a while." 

 

The kitten sagged, and stepped backwards, to grin; "Personally, I think that ought to have a higher point value attached.  Its BORING!" 

 

Tanj just laughed and nodded; "Supposed to be."  Then, doing her best to tune out the Kitten, she started going over her "plans" for the future; what would they find when they got back to Port Royale?  How far had Corey gotten?  Would he even need the Oligarchy's data?  How long would it take to build the beacon?  So many things to consider…..

 

---

 

"Tango Three to Tango One.  We made a stealth approach to the target from 117 mark 83.  Didn't get close enough to make a positive ID, but we agree, we think its them.  Chance of them detecting us is only 3%; want us to go in for a closer look?"  "Tango One to Tango Three; Negative.  Parallel their course.  Make another stealth approach at 2330 hours, just enough to confirm their course and position.  And make sure you're NOT detected; we don't want you vanishing like the last scout ship that got too close to these scum!  Tango One out!"

 

Spy vs. Spy II

 

Hiram turned and carefully engaged the security system on his ship.  Taking a step back, where he had room, he stretched, the hydraulics on his powered armor suit groaning in response.  Twisting his torso from side to side, he watched the heads-up display, checking the status of his suit.  Some folks thought him paranoid, others just plain crazy, but he'd been around the block a few times, and he KNEW what it took to survive in a place like this.  Bending he touched the floor in front of his toes a few times and then grinned.  Moving in an armored suit wasn't a cakewalk.  No matter how sophisticated the control system, there was always a miniscule lag between the time you started to move YOUR arm or leg, and when the suit's "muscles" responded, catching up with you.  You HAD to be in good shape to run one of these things, or at least run it optimally.  Chuckling he took a couple of steps backwards, getting ready for a sprint to the exit from the docking bay.  And that's when it happened.  Something behind him went "WHAM!" and he was shoved forwards a couple of steps.  Flashing his eyes over the HUD, he checked his suit's status, and then turned around.  Apparently some sort of a defensive system had gone off, on the ship parked next to his.  Shaking his head, he nodded sagely to himself. That was just exactly why he wore the suit.  If he hadn't been wearing it, he might have been hurt!  Turning he sprinted towards the tunnel that would take him to the commons area, thinking that some folks got awfully touchy about their property….  A simple electrical discharge would have served to warn someone away, probably without all the collateral damage and hard feelings.  But if they felt that strongly about it, he'd stay clear of their ship.  But they'd danged well better stay clear of HIS!

 

Eridani watched the security tape play again and shook her head.  She could see stray pellets from the directional mine bounce off of ships all through the cavern.  Sitting back, she idly chewed a clawtip as she pondered the Hound's use of force.  If he didn't cool it, she might have to have a talk with him.

 

The Fox did his best to ignore the tingle from his "communicator".  Something had happened to his ship.  Finishing the mug of lemonaide, he rose, stretched idly, and headed for the water closet.

 

As soon as the door had closed, he pulled out the communicator, unrolled the flexible display and stared at the message log.  An explosion by his ship?  Was someone trying to break in?  If so, it seemed they'd failed.  Making a mental note to check his security cameras, he washed his paws, and then headed back to the bar….

 

The Empire's Response 1

 

The Crown Prince's Chamberlain knocked once on the door, and then opened it without waiting for a response.  The Crown Prince looked up from his desk in annoyance; there was no question that the Cape Buffalo was more efficient, more effective than his predecessor, but being ex-military, he had certain ways about him that were quite annoying.  "Your Highness, I have good news." 

 

The Jaguar raised an eyebrow, thinking "To interrupt me in this manner, it'd danged well BETTER be good news, and something more than you having saved a bunch of cedits on your aircar insurance!"  The Cape Buffalo, his face impassive, handed the Jaguar a message flimsy, returning his hands to behind his back, his stance not quite at "parade rest".  "Your Highness, our agent at the smuggler's stronghold reports that the Lynx, Corey, is making progress on the portal device.  His experiments are achieving greater and greater success." 

 

The Jaguar put the flimsy down on his desk; it was too short to hold any significant details; "Does that mean that it can be used to move a ship from one place to another?  Reliably?  Does he have a "finished product"?" 

 

The Buffalo hesitated for a moment and then shook his head; "No, Sire.  There are… operational problems.  The prototype seems to blow power supplies regularly, and when the power supply fails, the result on the… test subject is catastrophic.  Never the less, they have run several tests successfully moving a lifepod-sized asteroid…. At least away from local space." 

 

The Jaguar nodded; "Keep an eye on them.
