---------------------
A small cargo ship drifted idly above a gaseous world. The system's sun shined brightly off the wispy, noxious clouds, illuminating the cockpit with a yellow-green light. Kara leaned back in the pilot's chair, basking in the gentle glow. She idled in the exact orbit relayed by the client, and said client sure was taking their sweet time. Kara double-checked that she was still on course and gave them another ping asking what their ETA was. She hadn't heard back since her last message several hours ago, and was getting a little fed up. This wasn't the time to be hung up with a simple exchange- the next job was beckoning her attention.
The delay ultimately didn't matter much, though, as Jules was still out of commission from the pair's first job. Her body could bounce back better and faster than other Tanks, but it was still taking a little longer than Kara expected. Jules had been sleeping for the better part of three days, which was also a surprise, but she assured Kara that everything was fine multiple times, and insisted on being left alone as she slept it off.
At long last, the transponder lit up with a reply from the client with instructions to jettison the cargo and fly away, and that the payment would be deposited once they left. Kara let out an exasperated sigh. It was understandable to want some anonymity, but this little song and dance got old quickly. She loaded the canister into the airlock, first making sure that it was still in spacefaring shape, then punched the release button. With a hiss, it shot out into the void, and Kara made her way back to the cockpit to depart.
In need of a refuel and more supplies, she decided to make a quick stop on a station nearby in the same system. Sure enough, by the time she'd topped up the fuel, the bounty had landed in her account. The risk and specificity made it a fat prize despite being a fairly quick job. She sent half of the reward over to Jules as she topped off the tank, then boarded the ship. As she reentered, she was greeted with a surprise; a still-drowsy Jules was eating in the lounge area. Something was a little off though- she looked different. Her elastic spacesuit was pulled a bit tighter, and in all the right spots. Her breasts were much larger, and her hips and thighs were a bit wider too, but her belly looked just as slim as before. She looked up to see Kara starting in the doorway.
"Hey Kara!" Jules beamed, her enlarged chest wobbling within her suit as she perked up. "I saw that payment come through. Did you add an extra zero or something? That's the biggest cut I've ever gotten from one job!" She awaited a response but was met with a continued stare, as Kara's cheeks began to take on a reddish hue.
"Ah- oh..." Jules glanced down at herself after a moment, then back up at Kara. "This doesn't usually happen. I promise I'm ready for our next contract- it's just, like, a temporary side effect," she frantically explained, feeling over one of her breasts. "It's a reaction that some aliens cause when they... you know... but it's okay, it just takes longer to go away," she explained.
Kara blinked a few times and exhaled. "Sorry, it's just, whoa," she mused, her eyes exploring every inch of Jules over and over again. "You're the Tank, so if you say you're ready, then let's get a move on," she ordered, struggling to refocus on their next task as she turned and headed up to the cockpit.
Jules seemed a bit embarrassed. Her suit didn't leave much to the imagination anyway, but the way it hugged her more curvaceous form was downright lewd. She hadn't told Kara, but whenever this happened previously, she also became fervently horny. Jules had spent the latter two days of her recovery masturbating nonstop in her cabin. She'd managed to make it several hours without cumming now, though, and hoped she would be able to hold it together for the next job. Either way, she knew she couldn't keep Kara waiting too long now that the previous client was no longer holding them up.
Kara began making preparations for takeoff, and Jules took a seat in her co-pilot chair, trying to keep her mind off anything sex-related. She watched Kara work for a moment, but quickly realized that was a mistake. Images from the aftermath of the last job flashed through her mind- the sensation of Kara's hot seed flooding into her and stretching her already swollen belly. Jules blushed and shifted her gaze out the cockpit window as they jetted out of the station and back into the vacuum of space.
"So, what's this next job?" Jules asked. "Location? Risks? What's the payout like? Whatever it is, I should be able to bounce back faster this time."
"Oh," Kara looked over with a grin, "it's a *real* good one." She initiated warp and began pulling up data on the dash display. "Target's on a moon in this system, so it's a quick trip. I've got an old friend at a lab that's been researching some of the local fauna," she began as she pulled up a diagram on the screen. It appeared to show a mass within the wall of a cave filled with orbs. "These things. They make some type of pearl. It's not exactly an egg, but it is biological, and they instantly decay outside of a living host. The pearls are about this big," Kara held her index and thumb about two inches apart. "They've managed to get a few back to their lab in artificial wombs, but it's slow and expensive. No one's tried with a Tank yet- it's unproven, but I think it may work."
"I like the sound of this," Jules smiled as she imagined being pumped full of the orbs. "It's not often that you're much more than a diversion as a Tank. Any other threats to take into account?" She asked.
"Not really. The cave critters are pretty docile, and the things in the walls are about as smart as a slug. They should be pretty abundant, so we've just gotta get in, find one, get the pearls, then get out," Kara explained. "I'm not sure what the payout will look like. The lab holds stuff close to the chest, so my pal doesn't even know how much the retrieval costs them now. She was adamant that we would be well-compensated though. We're getting paid per pearl, so this will be a capacity test," Kara paused and looked over at Jules. "That work for you?"
"Uh- uh huh," Jules muttered. She was pinching one of her nipples through her suit, as her other hand explored her pussy through the slit in her pants. "Hey, K-Kara? Do we have time for a quickie first?" Jules asked, looking back at her crewmate with eyes full of lust. Her mind flashed back and forth between scenes of aliens from previous jobs and Kara's throatfucking of her a few days ago.
