Homecoming

This is an original series story and the seventh chapter, based on an original roleplay that should not be considered a quick read.

Ch.07 in its final edit is 50% longer than Ch.06 and kept with hopes it isn't too short for you, the reader.

Context makes reading all chapters in sequence essential to understanding the story from its first sentence. Here is the link for chapter 01 to enable reading this continuing story from the first paragraph: https://www.literotica.com/s/starchaser-ch-01

Original roleplay voicing is incorporated into an overlapping storyline. The appearance of duplication is due to the story being told by two individuals from their own perspectives, and it includes a narrator. Overlaps create the fabric of the story and each contains new information so a choice to skip ahead would cause a loss of context.

Quoted words in character dialog are not verbatim to allow for variability of memory in the first person. Please take time and read from each character's point of view to hear and understand the characters better through them telling their own story.

The Starchaser story takes us where our human abilities are yet to go to join in the busy galaxy around us. It informs us of what is out there and what is really going on that most have yet to discover. See how your view of what we are really here for compares to that of the Avalonian Combine and decide for yourself which you prefer.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - read all chapters in sequence as each chapter builds on every previous chapter.

[ Starchaser Chapter 7 ]

-v-

I was just settling into my Captain chair marveling at how awesome Starchasen was, how cool it was that we were brought back from what would have been our end if that had been us on the beach on Eleuthera a few weeks ago, or whenever it was I met Barrett. The idea made me smile and I was just starting to wonder what we were doing next when Barrett thought, 'just going to check comms like always.'

He didn't have time to do anything before I heard a familiar voice over the bridge speakers saying things that sounded important enough to get my heart racing again. "Starchaser, this is Jet-Sprite, emergency emergency over." I would recognize Jane D's voice anywhere. She sounded like she was all business. Knowing she would be on her own DSC, I knew I could remain calm and be ready to help for whatever her emergency was about.

Barrett responded in his so cool to hear official way, "Jet-Sprite, this is Starchaser, send your emergency, over." I got goosebumps at how crisp and professional my Captain sounded and I knew without any doubt I will always be totally his. Jane D responded and I got more goosebumps.

"Starchaser, Jet-Sprite, perimeter picket sensors active on 27% of the net, large number of inbound vessels of unknown type and origin, request immediate assistance Barrett, requesting you in particular because of your awareness of this situation. General emergency already sent to Fleet, over." That's gotta be Academy training the way they phrase things similarly, like Captain speak.

I heard Barrett think to Colby, 'Starchase is going, is Dragonfry?' Colby responded, 'Dragonfry is not going, best hunting Starchase, DSC Fleet Command, out.' Now my nipples went hard. We were going and we got a send-off from the Fleet Commander himself! This is serious business and I can't believe I'm actually excited to get into it.

I thought to Barrett, 'something I noticed when Starchasen helped me research the Lexan Matrix in the Nexus Cortex Datafile was something about Farpoint Station's polar regions, about ring antennas and a reference to Phased Transportation, what do you think would happen if we told Farpoint Station we wanted to go to Sol System?'

We were looking at each other with our mind's eyes and then immediately dived into the Datastream going straight to the Nexus Cortex and the bookmarked Datafile I remembered. Starchasen was quicker, with the already enabled interpretation subroutine active, we got an immediate response. Farpoint Station Control activated a Datafile send, and it felt like it chased us all the way back to Starchase.

It was a neurally activated UltraViolet coded Datafile that transferred to the mainframe processor core memory stacks of both Starchaser and Starchasen. In front of me, and in front of Barrett on Starchaser, our 3-deck huge hologram display in the center of the bridge decks changed into a high definition version of the interior of Farpoint Station. I could hear Barrett thinking he had never seen it before which meant to me we had unlocked yet another Farpoint secret nobody else had found yet.

Barrett routed that Datafile to the SPL=CABN link to share it with Colby and Audrey, making sure they too knew what we had found and were doing. I was so ready for this adventure I really didn't have any concern for our safety. We were doing this and I was all in. I trusted this Station was so old and had technology people still didn't understand, so it must work or it wouldn't be making itself available to us.

The hologram showed there were big ring antennas one on each of the station's rotating axis polar regions. On one of them, a blue hollow cone appeared sitting on the ring antenna with the pointed end towards the central powerhouse star that was no bigger than a blue-white dot at the center of the hologram. I wondered if the star was shown to scale because of how tiny it was.

Barrett didn't use voice when he requested an expedited transit to Earth's Sol System to the automated Farpoint Station traffic control, whatever. A hollow blue ball appeared on the pointed end of the cone and the name Sol in red appeared as a label on the surface of the ball. A thin green curved line appeared and connected the blue ball to a small Starchase Twin Ship icon where we were. It was next to a small Dragonfry Twin Ship icon where they were with us in station keeping mode.

Barrett voiced three commands one after the other:

"Jet-Sprite this is Starchase. TSDSC 1 Starchase is enroute to your location, and I think we might be there early Jane D, Starchase, out." I noted it was Senior Captain Barrett in command. More goosebumps popped up on my skin.

"Starchase, proceed to Sol System." It was his first command in deployed status and now we were going somewhere.

"Farpoint Station Control, Twin Ship DSC 1 Starchase requests expedited transit to Sol System, over." Oh fuck that sounded so hot, I could feel my need to pleasure my Captain suddenly like an itch that would need to be scratched and soon.

Farpoint Station Control's response was immediate. The approval registered on my communication panel and I saw on the hologram display our Twin Ship icon began to move immediately. I noticed as I looked how my view zoomed in, like what happened standing on top of Starchaser before, and I could easily see what was going on as our icon zoomed away from the Dragonfry icon.

We moved with accelerating speed on the green path arc connected to the blue sphere and cone. If I would stop looking with my mind's eye I would not have known anything was going on. Once again, with a propulsion system that accelerates all particles of the DSC at the same rate as the ship itself, there was no sensation of movement.

This was so cool. I was hunkered down in my Captain chair like I belonged here on my own DSC's bridge just like I was when we were playing games together. My body was totally relaxed and I was just thinking to Starchasen letting him figure out what to do, but it was easy right now because Barrett was in command of both ships and Farpoint Control had control of our exit.

This was a new beginning of our flying dance unlike anything we had done before with our DSCs as One Ship In Two Parts. The holographic display zoomed in on the ring antenna and I could see outside the ship using external sensors and through the bridge deck windows using internal sensors. Oh sweet! I can see myself laying on my Captain chair with the internal sensors.

Through the windows I could see the station's inside surface getting really big really fast, and I do look particularly sexy and hot. Too bad my body isn't shaking like it would in my dad's car because that always looked good for my boobs. Second thought, that view is much too distracting even for me. There, filtered my image because I know myself and my Barrett, and we don't want to lose our focus.

Starchase knew what to do because everything happening was from what the neurally activated file had enabled our processor mainframe architecture to do. I absolutely loved that Barrett was just as audacious as me to follow the UltraViolet Datafile and subroutine as our guide.

The hologram turned with us as we approached the rotational pole that almost filled all space available on the bridge display. The ring antenna was a closed surface that opened like a camera iris with a gap that looked tiny until we got really close and was big enough for us to pass through.

Suddenly the windows and all around our ships became a deep maroon red. The holographic navigation display changed to look like what we had seen on our way from Earth to Farpoint so long ago, that felt like it could have been yesterday. It showed the station as a tiny blue-white dot slowly moving away from our tiny Twin Ship icon that was moving over a blue looping line, like it did before but it looked different this time.

The little loops were not so little this time, and there were numbers by the loops. That looked different than before. I thought to Barrett, 'we are looping parsecs' remembering what was happening from before that felt like it just happened and it was fresh in my mind like a deja vu. Barrett confirmed what I saw and he focused my attention on the numbers, 'We are looping 10 parsecs every second. This has to be something to do with being accelerated to Hyperspace Dimension by Farpoint Station.'

I knew I had the best partner and he was the smartest person I ever knew. He was the love of my life and he was going with me back to my home in the Sol System. I knew we were going to be fine because we were going there together and no matter what was going on, I trusted that we were going to be sufficient for the challenge.

= N =

Farpoint Station, as an ancient relic, had existed long before the Avalonian Combine was formed and long before the Avalonian home world became a place unified in the concept of Spirit as the most powerful force in the Universe. The Station's infrastructure contains a mass equal to a star cluster including peripheral bodies and associated nebulae. How it was constructed exceeds all concepts.

The Station has self regulating systems that perpetuate its design and construction that center on mass conversion technology that can disassemble and reassemble matter at will. Farpoint technology ships have the ability to repair and maintain themselves without external assistance and they can acquire the resources needed from existing internal contents or external matter with equal ability.

Traditional weaponry present on most spacefaring world's ships is absent from Farpoint designed space vessels whose defenses are not fully understood. Fleet Directorates have noted that all Farpoint ships are still in operation and none has ever been disabled by an attacking adversary.

The Farpoint Nexus Cortex is an amalgamation of mainframe, data storage, and data handling systems found throughout the structure. Each polyhedral spherical station sector contains parts of the whole and each has all systems and devices present. The technology is designed to construct and support more than it is to destroy and limit. All Farpoint Datastream architecture has coding to prevent malicious code from infiltrating or existing in the system.

The system has subroutines with automatic triggers to seek out, contain and eliminate malicious coding wherever it is detected, much in the way an organic body has an immune system to fight infection. An automated download of information that enables the use of the Station's infrastructure is considered a normal part of ship operations for the Avalonian Combine and, originating as a Farpoint Station Datafile, it is accepted without screen.

The polar ring antennas use Farpoint Station's energy to effect transportation out from and into the Station. Because the station has a star at its center and is in a stabilized orientation, the Station is considered in a fixed position in the Galaxy orbiting the center as does all matter in the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy.

The energy for the pole antennas is stored by the Station's capacitance, as the Station is a net energy absorber of incident cosmic rays. The ring antennas magnify the energy to project Hyperspace Dimension energy for all purposes of the HDE propulsion system found on every Farpoint Vessel, the largest being Farpoint Station itself.

Hyperspace Dimension (HD) was unknown to Avalonia until the encounter with Farpoint Station, and an awareness that was provided by the Farpoint ships themselves with an interpretation of the capability through bridge deck instrumentation during the first successful navigation of the phenomenon.

The related ability of communication over vast distances for all practical applications was an instantaneous reception. It was provided as an integral function of the Hyperspace Dimension Envelope (HDE) propulsion system. Also discovered was that light speed transmissions travel at light speed through HD whether or not the ship was in HD.

Phased Transportation as part of the same apparatus was a delayed discovery made with the encounter of the Print Pattern Buffer Scanner (PPBS) antenna room. Once the scans had been made, the Phased Transportation feature automatically enabled on the ships. Then, all crew who had a PPBS file could move efficiently about the 10,000 km long LRSS and that relieved shuttlecraft congestion on internal routes during routine conduct of duty assignments.

The ancient Datafiles Starchase was able to access were in the Station Architecture folders that contain systems and structures information. Noel's awareness of the polar ring antennae provided evidence to the Farpoint Station Control system that Avalonians were a suitable entity for access to Farpoint Stations advanced features. To discover the Datafiles required an intelligence to acquire knowledge for that particular system and others would become available as needed.

I opened my eyes after we were in the dark maroon red and took stock of the bridge and situation. We had discovered a Datafile in an unexplored section of the Nexus Cortex. It uploaded into the processor mainframe architecture and seamlessly upgraded the Navitronics Datasuite. Evidence of the upgrade was an immediately enhanced holographic display and access to the giant ring antenna that turned out to be a Farpoint Station Control jump point from inside the station.

The best comparison I could make was being slingshot out of the Station and into the Hyperspace Dimension. Nobody knew HD existed until Farpoint Station was discovered long ago and we started using Farpoint ships. Now, with this feature Noel discovered in her research, our HD speed was 10 times faster than any Farpoint ship had ever traveled. My hunch that we were going to be early to arrive at Sol System was an understatement.

I noted Starchaser and Starchasen were still magnetically bound by their landing pads. Both ship's configurations were unchanged by the departure sequence. It was interesting that the appearance of the HD environment visually was no different than any other transit of the HD environment. It slowly flowed by as a nondescript dark maroon goo that appeared to be so far away that any companion vessels that jumped to HD at the same moment would be in plain view regardless of how far away they were.

I studied the holographic display that was now a scalable three dimensional active display. Looking at it changed the geometry of what was being focused on. Noel had noticed too and commented in voice from the bridge of Starchasen. "Hey Barrett, oh Captain my Captain, check out the hologram nav thing. It's doing what Starchaser had done to me when I was standing over her bridge on her outer hull looking in the distance. You know, after the Print Buffer Scan in that docking area when I looked in the distance and she magnified the view a long way off down the shipway in the harborside place."

"When I look at different parts of this hologram, Starchasen is making those parts change to a closer view too, magnifying what I am looking at. And the more I want to see what is there, the closer everything gets." She was right. I had not realized that was her experience when we stood on top of Starchaser at the end of her external First Mate's tour. "If I stop concentrating on what I was looking at, it zooms out." She said, and so it did.

I answered her, "Yeah, it's definitely different than anything I saw before. I guess that Datafile was an upgrade to the Navitronics Dataware on the mainframe chipset algorithms. I could get used to this easily, it's not too different from the scaling feature of the virtual information screens we already use." I focused on the looping parsecs under the Twin Ship icon and the distance increasing behind us to Farpoint's blue-white dot, and the distance decreasing in front of us to a tiny yellow-white dot labeled Sol.

"Using the polar antenna for our jump to HD boosted us ten times greater than what the ships can do. What took us 20 hours on the way to Farpoint is only going to take 2 hours to get back to Sol. That's not going to give us much time for fucking around." I smiled knowing she would recognize I said it purely for her benefit.

Of everything she could have thought for us to do when we took a break during the Twin Ship proof of product testing, she shared, 'Baby, my sexual appetite has finally become what I always dreamed it could be. I used to fantasize all the time about a man from the stars who would search for me and find me in my bedroom. He would make love to me for hours and then after he used me so well, he always took me away with him.'

After she shared that for my awareness, she didn't hold back her memories of her bedroom fantasies that had become mostly fragments. She also didn't hold back about how much she masturbated to satisfy her cravings. It made it easy to talk to her about sexual and kinky things which became favorite things for us to think about together when we had nothing else pressing. Which until we were practicing our Twin Ship maneuvers was not really something we had time for before with her Academy learning in overdrive mode.

We were on our own ships in HD connected by neural communicators. I thought to her an idea for a shared fantasy to spend some of our transit time. It was of our meeting on Eleuthera that night we first met, walking onto the beach after leaving the beach bar, climbing over the stone groin that separated the town side of the beach from the undeveloped place where we had so much privacy on the beach.

This time I was going to imagine it as a bold adventure. Instead of talking to her taking time to make sure I was not being inappropriate and instead of being distracted by monitoring Starchaser's systems, this time I acted and undressed her without her permission. Her hands were immediately in my clothes and she wasted no time taking them off me. She also went straight to my cock and opened her mouth, licked my cock and then deepthroated me.
