Dumerk was glowering as the pirates were being processed. Every time he saw Karl as he was compiling his reports, his scowl twisted into a hateful sneer that often as not he had to try to hide as Giovani too was present most of the time. It probably didn't help that the man's secretary had been compromised right under his nose as they'd figured, and had crumbled immediately when confronted with the suspicion. Dumerk had immediately thrown her to the wolves earning himself a personal reprimand from Giovani for his behavior and for his lack of respect and care for his underlings.
Giovani had been much more forgiving of Carolyn Grant's failing. He'd personally reassured the distraught secretary and promised they'd do everything they could to secure and protect her family. The good thing was too, Mallory apparently hadn't had the time or the chance to get to her family either, and they'd been taken into protective custody. They were already being moved out of danger and would be given new lives. It wasn't clear what Mallory'd had on her or them. That information hadn't been given and really wasn't relevant anymore. Whatever it was, it was probably over now. Dumerk's secretary had been transferred back to Luna and would probably be put into protection with the rest of her family.
So it was, Dumerk had a new secretary, and not one of his choosing like the last one. Actually, it was someone Natasha knew! The woman surged to her feet, seeming to teleport from behind the desk and greeted Natasha on their return with an unexpected hug that lifted her clear off her feet and caught her completely off guard. "Tasha! I finally caught you by surprise!" She laughed merrily at the look of shocked surprise on Natasha's face.
She was easily as tall as Karl, though she was clearly all woman. A very well-endowed woman in fact. Even in her G-Pol regulation uniform, both Vixi and Lisa stared at her very pronounced female curves in awe. Her gigantic breasts were head sized, her waist waspishly slim and her hips flaring amazingly into an ass that even the uniform couldn't make less attractively round. She had a neat cap of thick, almost nappy orangish blonde curls cut into a neat asymmetric bob that accentuated the sharp angularity of her features nicely. That, her deep, dark, nearly black eyes and her lusciously full lips were the only currently visible signs of her mixed African heritage.
Natasha simply looked stunned. "Sohnia, what are you doing off Mars? I thought you swore you'd never leave there again!" She turned to her companions, "Sohnia was my roommate at the Academy." Then she turned back to Sohnia, "And why the hell are you playing secretary?"
Sohnia looked sheepish and her eyes fell to her feet. "I'll show you later, okay? I don't like to talk about it around the office." She waited for Tasha's nod. "So, I hear you're moving up in the world. Doing what I started off doing? I thought you and Bona were going to be detectives, not a strike force."
"oh, we still are." Bona broadcast her chuckle, "Are you gonna say hi to me too?" she literally stood up on her hind legs and held out her arms like any human would. None of them except Natasha had seen her do that for another human before. That told them this was a dear friend and worthy of respect. "So, do you have Dumerk kicked into line yet?"
Sohnia laughed out loud as she hugged and kissed bona exactly the way she would a human best friend. "I heard about that! No kicking necessary so far though, that boy's scared to death of me! He don't like the fact I'm gay and proud to let everybody know it and he knows damn good and well I ain't afraid to put his ass in traction if he don't like it too loudly. A dyke like me bigger'n stronger'n he is freaks him out I think. Sides, how could I turn down a post on a spa world like this? I ain't been downstairs yet, but first chance I get..."
Natasha and Bona laughingly introduced everybody else, including Janice and Mike who were still with them. Natasha was giggling inside at the way Janice was literally drooling over Sohnia and had to practically rehinge her jaw to respond to the tall woman's greeting. Sohnia obviously found it hilarious and was posing with her chest pushed out to emphasize her assets just to see Janice's eyes bulge. Then she swept Janice into a hug that crushed her face into her cleavage, demonstrating in the process that her breasts really were the size of a human head.
Tasha had included Sohnia's lesbian antics and exploits in several of her funny Academy stories, but apparently Janice hadn't paid close enough attention. Lisa and Vixi though had caught the name immediately and put that together with Tasha's description to realize who this was. Now both were struggling not to burst out laughing at what was going on. Neither of them was going to let Janice live this one down!
Vixi was having another problem too. She couldn't help hearing what Sohnia thought about Natasha's new teammates. Especially that she really liked what she was seeing when she looked at her. Worse, she was getting the full visuals of Sohnia's imaginings of what the much larger woman wanted to do to her. She was glad she was wearing her armor still because what she was receiving had her literally dribbling down both her thighs. Not just dripping either!
She knew this was another test from Bona who wasn't actually shielding her from Sohnia's thoughts, despite how strongly she was broadcasting. Clearly Natasha was aware of it too, as she saw the mischievous light in her eyes. She gave them both dirty looks when Sohnia wasn't looking at her for a moment as she gave Lisa the same greeting she'd given Janice. Natasha just grinned at her in reply.
It was too much though when Lisa apparently figured out what was going on. Then she felt her soulmate's amusement coming through their bond as well. She was about to turn a murderous glare on Lisa when an evil idea came into her head. Instead of getting angry, she let it all in, going with the flow and enjoying it! She could feel her nipples growing to the point where her body glove was really having to work to keep her from abrading herself and her dribbling turned into a positive flow.
Sohnia's thoughts told her that to her way of thinking, she'd saved the best for last. As she turned to greet her, Vixi popped up on her toes and met her hug with a kiss that obviously met with Sohnia's approval as she immediately returned it with a great deal of interest, lifting her off her feet as she had Natasha, though at the moment she wasn't aware of anything beyond that kiss. Vixi knew Dumerk's office was pretty much unobserved, so there was little chance there would be any trouble from this. She only wished she hadn't been wearing her armor once Sohnia was kissing her back. Sohnia was a better kisser than Karl! In moment's, she was sharing in the taller woman's fantasies, though she wasn't allowing her participation to interfere with Sohnia's thinking the way she suspected she had Rachel's. She just let it lift her up and carry her along in the currents.
She was surprised when she felt her feet come back down on the deck. When had Sohnia lifted her up? She was pleased to hear Lisa laughing at her performance too. That was one of the many things she loved about that woman! She knew she would never have to worry about her having a jealous fit when she did something like this like so many of her past girlfriends would've.
