Author's note:
How can it possibly take so long to get the opening right? Set scene, get to the sex. It shouldn't be so hard.
This will have to be the swan-song for the Alone in Space series, I think. If it wasn't obvious enough that the series had hit its limit when I had to have two participants in two stories, the amount of time it took me to write this has confirmed it.
These stories where little pieces that I banged out (get it? Ha. Ha. Ha) when I felt like it. This one had to be forced out, so there's not likely to be more of Jade, I'm afraid to say.
If people like these little stories, please let me know through public or private comments and I will put more machines in more of my other stories :)

Jade thunked two bottles heavily down onto the tabletop, managing to spill something out of each.
"Do you have to fucking do that?" Cass asked, irritated. The shorter pilot, slightly stockier than Jade and with breasts actually visible inside her slightly baggy regulation coverall, licked beer off the side of the bottle and swallowed half the contents in one gulp.
"Yes I fucking do," Jade said, somehow managing to drink half her bottle at the same time.
Cass ignored the response. "I'll lay odds on that the prick who caused that little speech was that slimy shit "
Jade chimed in, in unison, "Chris."
For the first time in two years, all Company pilots had been at the base at the same time. Their Captain had taken the opportunity to read them the riot act on treatment of non-flying colleagues, and Jade had been waiting on being named until assault had been mentioned - she was pretty sure that she had never actually thumped anybody.
"How many times have you had him try and grope you?" Cass asked as Jade swallowed the other half of her beer, leaned perilously back on her chair to the small fridge and fished out another two, expertly knocking the caps off against the side of the table before slamming them down with, this time, slightly less spillage.
"I did not break his wrist the first time he tried it," Jade replied flatly, "But the little fucker never tried it again. He just tried bad-mouthing me around the base."
Cass stared at her open-mouthed. "Hey, was that you when he ..."
"I have never punched a colleague," Jade said after a quick swallow, "No matter how much he might have deserved it."
"Or broken their wrist?"
"Or broken their wrist."
"What about dropped them off the side of a gantry into a kitchen rubbish bin?"
"That wasn't assault, the little fucker slipped."
Cass howled with laughter, and swigged half of her second beer. "What are we going to fucking do with you?" she asked between dying chuckles.
"Well, I know what I'm going to fucking do with you," Jade said matter-of-factly as she drank from her bottle.
"Wha?" asked Cass, wondering why her voice was slurring.
"I've been on this fucking station for a fucking month with no fucking action and piss-poor fucking toys, and YOU, girl, made the mistake of telling me one of your fantasies last time we met up."
Cass, who hadn't been awake long enough to hear the end of the sentence, finished her boneless slump to the ground.
Jade stared at her with satisfaction, and finished her beer. "Fucking A," she said.

Cass dreamed that she was strapped into her chair on her ship, spread-eagled and with a vibrating dildo buried deep inside her. She wondered, vaguely, why nothing else was happening to her, because the dildo was making her whole body itch for the other toys, and she could do with pincers on her nipples, right about now.
Then she woke up as quickly as someone with her regimented fitness could be expected to, and was in time to see Jade casually toss the antidote syringe into a waste chute.
"Where the fuck did you get drugs like that from?" she asked violently, but with an aroused catch in her voice.
"Lab tech in Medical had blue balls."
"You fucked a lab tech just to get me laid out?"
"No, I sucked a lab tech to get you laid."
Cass suddenly realised that she should have been paying more attention.
She was naked, and tied snugly in a cross pattern to Jade's bed, and she did indeed have a gently vibrating dildo inside her, and she was as horny as hell.
"What the fuck?" she asked, as she stared in disbelief at the electrical cord snaking towards her pussy.
Quick as lightning, Jade lashed her across the breasts with a leather belt, causing shooting pains from both nipples. "Quiet, bitch!" she shouted.
