Chapter Five: The Rescue
The sound of the boatswain's call filled the room. Commander K'Tevechia stood alongside Admiral Maria Lopez and other high-ranking brass as honors were presented to Captain Ryan Boner. The Penetrator's fallen leader had just been eulogized by K.T, Admiral Lopez and Lieutenant Grissom. Despite the somber mood, K.T managed to interject a little humor into her speech.
"Capt. Boner always wanted to go out with a bang; I don't think this is what he had in mind," she remarked amid the soft chuckles and low-key smirks.
When the whistle had ceased, K.T called the room to attention. "Attention on deck! Present arms!"
The members in attendance stood tall and saluted as the body of Capt. Boner was jettisoned from the ship inside a torpedo tube. The room was silent as every eye observed the torpedo detonate when it was in a safe range from the ship. The practice wasn't always in place. However, after it was discovered that some foreign species had been hunting deceased bodies in similar space-bound coffins, the Xenocracy decided it was in their best interest to destroy the coffins with the body inside to prevent their service members from having their remains desecrated.
"This concludes the service," Admiral Lopez said. "There will be refreshments and counselors in the mess hall for anyone interested. Dismissed."
The room bustled for the first time in a hour as the crew shuffled around either back to their quarters, their posts or the mess hall. K.T stood at the window looking into the vastness of space. Her mind was rampant with questions without little answers.
"Commander, accompany me to the ready room," Admiral Lopez said breaking K.T's train of thought.
"Aye, ma'am," she responded.
The pair entered the ready room. It had been cleaned out of the deceased Captain's personal affects. What was a room that defined the vessel's leader was now just a bare bones shell of what it used to be. K.T watched as the Admiral took a seat behind the desk.
"We've come a long way, K'Tevechia," she said.
"Yes ma'am," responded K.T.
"You can stop with the formalities, it's just us in here," the Admiral said. "Who would have thought that two academy roommates would be thrust into the positions of leadership within 10 years of graduation?"
It was true. Maria Lopez and K'Tevechia were both talented cadets and spent the first three years of the academy as roommates. After graduation, their career arcs diverged where Maria established herself as a capable officer aboard the Shagwell and K.T rising quickly through the ranks based on her impressive and comprehensive knowledge of ship functions, tactics and schematics. It was why she was promoted to Commander when she came aboard the Penetrator.
Maria's abilities went beyond her duties on a starship and she found success within the intelligence community. It was there that she made the jump from lieutenant to captain within five years time. Her treaty proposal for two warring planets in a neighboring system was the push needed to get her the promotion to admiral.
"So, what's next? K.T asked.
"I need to name a new captain for the ship," was Maria's response. "The brass gave me a list of preferred candidates but, I wanted to see if you were interested in the job."
K.T stood there speechless. She had always dreamed of commanding her own ship but, she felt that it would be a few years before that happened. Even with the death of Boner, she didn't even consider the possibility of being his successor.
"Before you say anything, you should know that Ryan included it as part of his final wishes," Maria continued. "Your performance reports and numerous commendations support his recommendation."
Still silent, K.T thought over what this meant.
"Trust me, I know about you and Ryan's discreet trysts," Maria said. "It had no bearing in my decision. Congratulations K'Tevechia, you're the new captain of the Penetrator."
She stood up to shake K.T's hand. "It's a field commission but, I will make it official once we're back on Earth," she said.
The two stood in front of each other; their eyes locked. Maria leaned in and kissed her on the lips. "I do miss us," she said returning back to her desk.
In addition to being roommates, the two were also lovers until their senior year at the academy. Maria had made the decision to call things off because she wanted to focus on her academics and fledgling career. K.T was crushed by this decision and found herself sleeping with a multitude of men and women to keep the void of loneliness at bay. It was probably the reason why she was so promiscuous with her crew.
K.T felt her pussy tremble at the touch of her ex-lover and began unbuttoning her uniform. She looked at Maria who let her hair down and began undoing her uniform as well. Maria had an athletic frame that not only showed off great muscle tone but, a nice set of well-rounded breasts and a perfectly round ass. As she removed her uniform, K.T saw the features that she longed to touch again. The brown, erect nipples of Maria's breasts, the softness of her skin and the warmth of her pussy; everything she remembered from so long ago.
Maria stood momentarily to let her uniform drop to the floor. She didn't wear anything under it. K.T took in her body and thinking it was exactly the same as she remembered it, with one exception. Maria now had a clean-shaven pussy instead of the furry mound from her academy days.
Draping a leg over the arm of the chair, Maria invited K.T to come over and taste her pussy. "I think we both need this," she said responding to K.T's touch on her mound.
This was the only time K.T was submissive. Maria was a goddess to her and was under her control. It made her pussy wet just thinking about the possibilities of what was to come. K.T felt Maria's body tense up as her tongue made contact with her pussy.
"Oh yes," Maria sighed loudly.
K.T buried her head deep between Maria's legs. She licked her pussy the way she demanded of her yeoman when they were doing the same for her. The setting was very familiar but, this time the roles were reversed and the newly promoted captain basked in the moment.
"Stand up, I want to see those magnificent triple titties that have evaded me for so long," Maria commanded.
Standing up, K.T draped them in front of her face. Maria took each one into her mouth and seduced the nipples of all three. K.T massaged Maria's pussy while the admiral continued playing with her breasts. Then, Maria cupped the side of K.T's face and kissed her again.
"I love you," K.T said upon breaking the kiss.
"I know," came the response from her former lover.
K.T dropped down to her knees and continued pleasing Maria's pussy. The latter sat there, squirming in the chair as she felt her lips and hole being touched by K.T's tongue. K.T found herself getting wetter as she kept on with her task; using her free hand to rub her own pussy and feeling the urge to cum then and there.
A gush of juices poured into K.T's mouth and onto her face as the admiral came hard. Juice ejaculated in a way that even K.T was surprised.
"Fuck, when did you start doing that?" K.T said as Maria's juices dripped down her face.
"Just now," said the equally shocked admiral.
After getting cleaned up and dressed, the two spent the next couple of hours talking and reminiscing before the admiral got down to business.
"Your first mission as captain is to track down that ship, retrieve the prisoner and arrest the crew," she said directly. "I will lead the assault on the ship when we engage them but, you will assemble a boarding party and lead them."
K.T had a bit of concern and fear in her eyes. "You know what that monster did to the captain and he damn near killed Grizz," she objected. "Surely, there has to be another way."
"The idea is a fleet of ships versus one and a platoon of troops should be enough to have an edge," Maria said. "I will give you an additional 50 grunts from the fleet. Find him, use whatever means necessary and get back our prisoner."
Maria got up and straightened out her uniform. As she and K.T made their way to the door, she paused. "I really don't want it being you on this mission but, something is telling me you're the one for the job." She kissed K.T one final time. "As for us, let's finish this mission and see where things go from there."

Lila awoke to a tingling sensation on her nipples. She saw the woman known as Maryana taking notes and increasing the voltage of the pulses being sent to her body.
"Ah, you're awake, Kimainen Vaikutta," she said without removing her eyes from her pad. "I thought the K-V had gone extinct 15 years ago."
"You thought wrong," Lila replied. "A small number of us still exist."
"Perhaps you can be kind enough to show us where we can find them in case things don't go well with you," the demented doctor said.
"Never," was Lila's response.
"I think you should reconsider," Maryana said. She pressed a button that spread Lila's legs apart. An electric rod made its way towards Lila's pussy.
Lila struggled to free herself but, succumbed to the pulsating electrical current of the phallic object being inserted inside her. As much as she hated being a lab rat, she found her pussy surprisingly welcoming the foreign stimulation.
"Oh fuck," Lila said softly.
Maryana smiled sadistically. "I think you like this more than you're leading on," she said.
The pulsating of the rod and the electrical current made Lila cum multiple times. Her energy was drained and she was exhausted.
"What is this all about?" she asked. "Why me?"
Maryana finished making some final notes. "My Lord wishes to procreate but, needs a compatible species to carry his child. His slaves and even I have proven to be incapable of this honor."
Lila looked at her in confusion.
"You see, he requires a strong woman of sexual being to reproduce. He is unable to find that within his homeworld and as a result, has spent the last several years looking for one that can. That is where you come in," Maryana explained.
"The K-V are known for their sexual prowess and ability to seduce others. The after-affects have been deemed something of value and Lord Myrkur wants that in his offspring," Maryana said.
