Since the fleet admiral's speech earlier, Tom could clearly see that something was bothering Jason as he was unusually silent as they made their way out of the pub. "So what's up man?" Tom asked as he used his armcomm to request for a hover-taxi .

"Just worried about what will happen now that we are war" replied Jason as he kicked a can while moving towards the street.

"Want some advice?" Tom asked as he walked alongside him.

"Sure." Jason replied as they both stopped and waited for their transportation to come and pick them.

"A wise man once told me to never concern myself with what I couldn't do but rather what I could." Replied Tom as he glanced at the descending hover-taxi that landed with a small thud in front of them. He walked at the other side and let himself in while taking a final glance at the pub. As he settled himself inside, he activated the chest guard which slid from the back of the seat and immediately the hover-taxi ascended.

"Hello gentlemen, what is your destination rear admiral Jeffries?" asked a computerised voice as the ho-xi continued to rise.

"Take us to the King's height estate please." Replied Tom as he glanced at Jason who had remained silent throughout.

"That will cost you 20 credits, the payment shall be confirmed by your armcomm" it informed him while he confirmed the transfer of the amount. "I have received your payment and arrival time is 2 minutes 13 seconds. Should I turn on the radio for entertainment before you arrive?" It asked as Tom folded his arms in front of the chest guard as he felt being pushed back due to the acceleration.

"I shall take a pass on the entertainment part" he replied while shutting down both the audio and video recorder so as to have a serious conversation with Jason.

"Ok then, enjoy your flight" the on-board computer replied as it went off.

"Now we are in the dark Jason, so what's really bothering you?" asked Tom as he shifted his seat to face him.

"I don't know if I can do this." Jason replied as he stared out of his window.

"Do what?" asked Tom as he guessed what he was referring to but he wanted to hear it for himself.

"This whole thing about being captain stuff." Jason replied while shifting his gaze from the window to face Tom.

"Are you keeping the old crew of the Hercules?" Tom asked him.

"Yep" Jason replied while smirking.

"Good coz I won't lie to you Jason, it's never going to be easy sometimes but trust in them and they will make you proud."

"Okay, I get that" replied Jason while nodding in agreement.

"Honestly Jason I think they respect you a hell lot more than I" Tom replied in sombre tone.

"I think that's probably something to do with you fucking any lady that comes into sight" replied Jason which earned him a shoulder punch.

The ho-xi stopped when they reached the estate's security parameter for confirmation of who they were and where they were going. Tom just waited patiently while they were being scanned for any contraband they might posses while also being identified through the facial recognition database.

"Yeah well am not selfish to just limit myself to one lady like you man" Jason could only chuckle to that as he knew that one thing he knew for sure was that Tom would always be a ladies man.

Suddenly Tom felt the ho-xi begin its descent signifying that they had reached their destination and they alighted after it had landed.

"I've always found it strange that you decided to live in the same place as your folks man" noted Tom while keeping a straight face while walking on the street.

"Yeah well coz you bought the place as my wedding gift." Muttered Jason which drew chuckles from Tom.

"Look at the bright side man, at least I didn't get you the one next to theirs." Jason just shivered at the very thought, In as much as he loved his parents he didn't want them to be his next door neighbours.

"I might not say thank you as much but I really appreciate you for getting me this house" Jason told him while glancing at the house in question.

Tom just scoffed at him, "Who told you I got it for you dumbass?, I bought it for Miriam and when she decides to divorce your ugly ass I will just move in with her." Tom replied with an evil gr while stopping at Jason's house.

"Hey aren't you coming in?" Jason asked Tom who had stopped while also ignoring his last comment.

"Sorry man, I'm gonna meet your folks and then head back to the station, I've an appointment there I can't miss" replied Tom as he began walking away. "and tell Miriam I said hi!" Jason just shook his head and laughed at that, the appointment his friend was going to definitely involved the waitress who had served them.

Tom picked up the pace and was soon arriving at Jason's parents house where he rang the doorbell and waited to be welcomed. Normally he would place his hand on the hand scanner and enter the house but by how he was asked to be here, he wanted to do things in a right way because he guessed it was something important. The door was suddenly opened by Frank, Jason's dad who stood at exactly 6ft tall with dark skin and he seemed out of breath but managed to compose himself.

"Why the hell are you ringing the door son?, You are always welcomed here you Know?" asked Frank while getting back to the house leaving Tom to close the door.

"Hey woman, Tom's here" called out Frank to his wife Maggie who was 5ft 7 and always kept her blond hair short. Tom always loved the interaction between the couple and always wondered someday if he to would come to enjoy marriage.

" I'm in the kitchen old man!" Maggie called back to him and they made their way to the kitchen.

"Hey woman am not old, I just turned 60 last week thank you very much." Replied Frank as he sat on one stool while motioning for Tom to take a seat. "I prefer to see myself as fine wine" continued Frank with a wink to Tom.

"That's the same thing dear" replied Maggie while serving food. Tom knew it was a fruitless endeavour to try to refuse the food being pilled on his plate. To hear them bicker back and forth one would always assume that they have marital problems yet as far as he was concerned they were the best couple.

"Hello Tom, sorry I couldn't welcome you today and you had to settle for with the big goof." Maggie apologized and gave him a kiss to the chick.

"It's okay Maggie, I guess that's payback for missing his birthday." Tom apologized to Frank who just grumbled at that.

"This food is great Maggie, just as always" praised Tom as he made quick work of the spaghetti noodles.

"Son, told you I married this woman for a reason" crowed Frank as he cleared his plate first as always. Maggie just rolled her eyes and got up to add him a second serving. Frank waived her off as he stood and stretched.

"Not today dear, I think Tom should just finish already so we could begin our talk." Frank stated as he went to their study.

"Thanks for the food Maggie, didn't know I was starving." Tom stood and waited for her to finish clearing the table.

"No problems dear, sorry we weren't able to visit you while you were detained." Apologized Maggie as she finished and gave him a warm hug which he reciprocated.

"I don't think you could have been allowed anyway to visit" Tom consoled her as they made their way to the study in silence. Tom pushed the massive double doors and made way for her to pass first, which earned him a smile from her.

"Have a seat son." instructed Frank as he poured each of them a glass of wine. "So how are you doing?" he asked Tom as he handed him the drink.

"I'm doing okay at the moment" replied Tom as he took a sip from his glass and appreciated the quality of the product.

"So what are your plans now?" Frank asked with a business like tone as he continued, "we had that Jason has been promoted as the Hercules new captain."

Tom realized that they didn't know about his promotion and decided to come clean on the little detail. "I don't know how it will be because I too was promoted to be a rear admiral of the confederation." Tom answered while finishing his drink.

He could see that they were trying to believe him, but they appeared to have doubts. So he decided to remove their doubts. He got up and placed his hand on the scanner that was on the entrance. He removed his hand after there was a beeping sound which confirmed it had finished.

He went back to his seat as a computerized voice identified him.

"Name : Thomas Jeffries

Sex : Terran male

Age : 34 years

Rank :Rear admiral

Designation : undisclosed"

"Well I'll be damned!" swore Frank as he stood and poured another glass of wine for Tom.

"Congratulations dear." Congratulated Maggie as she embraced him while he still held on his drink and somehow managed to avoid spilling on her. "Your parents would be so proud of you" she managed to convey through sobs. She quickly stood and left the study leaving behind a bewildered Tom who couldn't fathom why she always broke down when discussing his parents. Frank sighed and got up and closed the door and turned his gaze towards him.

"Congratulations for the promotion Tom, now let's discuss the reason for your visit" Frank addressed him while taking the opposite seat.

"What would that be?" asked Tom as he tried to figure out what he meant.

"It's about your health son, you are dying" Frank answered him while maintaining eye contact to let the point sink in. Tom always appreciated Frank's frankness but sometimes he wondered if the man could try to be a little subtle, but it made sense now.

"How did you know?" Tom asked as he came in grip with his mortality.

"So what anomalies have you experienced recently?" asked Frank as he evaded the question.

"Dizziness, blacking out, mild headaches and nose bleeding black blood lately" replied Tom as he glanced at Frank who seemed a bit nervous. "does this has anything to do with you forbidding me from being checked out by any other doctor apart from you and Maggie?" Tom asked Frank who just nodded.

"How long do I have days?, weeks?, months?" asked Tom as he braced for the worst.

"Given your symptoms, I'd say 3-4 months give or take" answered Frank as he watched Tom who had began pacing around the study.

"Shit! Does Jason know?" asked Tom as he came into an abrupt stop.

"No, but I think he suspects something isn't right" Frank replied while as he removed a memory chip from his desk and tossed it at Tom who caught it. "That contains how you might still be able to save yourself, your parents gave it to me for safe keeping until you turned 35."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" asked Tom as he felt betrayed by a man he saw as a father figure.

"It's simple, your parents gave me those instructions before they died and I think that they had their reasons." Frank replied as he stood and went to the door and opened it, "I think it's time for you to visit your parents home, its been too long since you last been there." With that, Frank left leaving behind Tom to decide what to do.

Vice admiral Zora entered the admirality chambers with a little bounce on her steps as she answered their sermon. She suspected it concerned about her timely intervention to what might have been possibly be an invasion. On the Gal-net she was been heralded as a saviour of sought by the masses for avenging their own.

As she stood in front of them, she was able to exchange a few smiles with the confederations high ranking officers, It didn't hurt to have friends in high places she mussed. She caught site of the fleet admiral Stones who stood in front of the massive windows watching a ship being repaired or upgraded.

She caught glance of the now deceased admiral Davis seat which was currently unoccupied and she longed it for herself.

"Welcome vice admiral Zora." the fleet admiral welcomed her as she saluted respectfully which he didn't acknowledge. He just passed her and made his way to his seat which was flanked by 10 seats on each hand in a curved manner bringing the total number to 21 seats which made up the admirality.

"After a long discussion with my fellow admirals, we have come into a conclusion that you will be the best person to join our ranks as an admiral." Fleet admiral Stone jumped straight into the point while motioning for someone. Immediately someone approached him and handed him a little box which he brought to her. Upon opening the box, she saw that it contained a silvered shaped star which he pinned to her ceremonial attire bringing her total to four stars, she was now a fully fledged admiral.

"Congratulations admiral Zora, we are pleased with your dedication to humanity's course" praised the fleet admiral as he responded to her salute which was followed by polite clapping from the gathered admirals. He gestured for her to take a seat as he headed towards his seat.

"Thank you sir" she replied as she walked to the seat offered.

"Admiral Zora you will brought up to speed by one of your aid on the bixan situation, and we are on first name basis here" added the fleet admiral as he glanced at her, "we are all friends here aren't we? He asked which brought chuckles and snickering from the gathered admirals.

"So shall we begin our meeting on how to respond to this bixan situation?" asked the fleet admiral after the noise had ended.

She took a quick look at the admirals who began making suggestions on how to handle it. Everything was going as planned and although she was promoted, it changed nothing at all.

Tom took a glance at the ascending vessel as it returned to Frank's home, he had dumped a lot on his plate but he didn't want to deal with it at the moment. He had come to blow some steam and he knew how to.

He paused at Kate's door while waiting for her to open the door of her apartment. He felt a pulsing beam which scanned him and the door opened revealing a naked red head who was giving him a shy smile.

"Hello there beautiful, stunning as always" he praised while drinking in the sight of her 5ft 9 figure.

"Why thank you kind sir" she answered while sidestepping to allow him to enter her domain. "Its been too long since you last came to visit, have you become bored with me" she asked while leaning on the now closed door.

"I've been court martialled for 2 weeks after my tour" he answered while advancing towards her leaving her with no room to evade.

She surprised him by suddenly launching herself towards him and he barely had enough time to remove his jacket when she collided with him sending them falling on the couch. She managed to sit on him and planted a long hot kiss while attempting to undress him.

She quickly managed to undo his shirt and went for his belt as he suddenly interchanged their positions. He quickly removed his shirt and trouser while she drank on the site of his impressive physique and he slowly brought his hand towards her womanhood as he began kissing and massaging her breasts.

"You're wet" he noted between kissing, groping and fingering her which made her moan loudly as she tried to arc her back with pleasure.

" I really missed you baby" she replied while covering her mouth to avoid screaming when he found her clit and began playing with it. He switched his sucking attention from her right breast to her left one the right one back and forth while maintaining the pressure on her vagina and clit.

He knew those moments really drove her nuts and suddenly she pulled him for a kiss as she tensed and began cumming while attempting to suck the air from his lungs.

"Take me to bed" she asked him while panting from the vigorous activity.

"Your wish is my command darling" he replied while lifting her and heading towards her bedroom where he placed her on the queen size bed and dug between her legs beginning his assault all over again.

"Please stop, I'm a bit sensitive down there" she pleaded while trying to escape his adventurers tongue which was driving her nuts. Her pleas fell on deaf ears as Tom continued unrelentingly with his assault. Suddenly Tom drove his tongue towards her clit and pushed his index finger in her ass simultaneously which made Kate's leg lock his head as she had a massive orgasm.

"Please no more," she begged him as she continued to have after shocks of mini orgasms. He stood and removed his boxer's, releasing his 8" dick that was covered in pre-cum and climbed on the bed and positioned himself with her sex.

"How do you want me beb?" he asked while teasing his entrance to her sex.

"Soft and slow" she replied while attempting to make eye contact with him, " I'm a bit tender."

Tom began massaging the muscles in her feet and placed them on his shoulders where he continued with his activities until he felt her relax as she began drifting off to sleep in contentment. He quietly positioned his dick with her entrance and suddenly he entered her to the tilt jolting her back up from sleep.

"Fast and furious it is then" he replied to her startled face as he began to administering short powerful strokes which made her squeal in surprise.

After seeing that her pleas weren't being acknowledged, she attempted to move away but Tom leaned forward pressing her into two and began delivering short powerful strokes that made her feel as if she was being split into two.

She endured the assault on her pussy for what seemed like ages and suddenly she felt a stirring in her abdomen that signified that she was about to cum. Tom continued to pummel her until he felt he was about to cum and it took a few more strokes in which he began to cum which set her off and both blacked out.
