Chapter 32
Tim and Braxlid left the debriefing room, walked to the lounge, and had a seat. "Would you like a java or something else?" Tim asked as he signaled Millie.
"If you could, iced tea would be wonderful!"
"Yes, Captain, may I help you?" Millie moved closer to the table, waiting for their order.
"Millie, the young lady, requests an iced tea and I would like a java."
"Yes, Captain, I'll be right back with them." Millie turns toward Braxlid, "Would you like it sweet or unsweetened?"
"Unsweetened, please, and thank you for asking." Braxlid looked toward Tim, "Are all your bots so well mannered?"
"Yes, that's because of their controller. Sarha, could you appear?"
Sarha appeared next to Tim, "Yes, Tim, do you need something?"
"Yes, I wish for you to meet Braxlid." Tim knew Sarha already knew Braxlid from the bay and from the scans of her pod. But Braxlid didn't know Sarha.
"Braxlid, I am the ship's AI. If you need help with something, myself or my bots will be here to help."
"Thank you very much, and I appreciate that. I just said to Tim about how well mannered your bots are."
"Why, thank you. I hope to keep them that way."
Tim heard the lounge doors open and turned to see who was there.
Shanae stepped through and saw Tim with someone new. She had heard they had picked up a pod with a survivor. Approaching Tim's table, she asked, "Tim, may I join you?"
Tim nodded and waved a hand toward an empty chair, "Shanae, this is Braxlid. Braxlid, this is Shanae, my bodyguard."
Millie returned to bring the java and iced tea, placed them in front of the requestor and asked, "Shanae, would you like something to drink."
"No, Millie, I'm fine, thanks." Shanae turned and gave Tim a serious look but didn't say a thing. She sat on the chair that Tim had indicated.
"So, you are Tim's bodyguard? Do you sleep with him also?" Braxlid asked, her voice soft and smooth.
Shanae looked at Tim; Tim nodded his head for Shanae to answer. "Yes, why do you ask?"
"Because I will also be Tim's bodyguard, I will sleep with him and have sex as well. Do the two of you have sex?" she asked suddenly, serious.
Shanae looked back to Tim and snapped defensively, "Tim, she is getting quite personal."
Tim looked at Shanae, "She reminds me of you when we first met. I think both of you are going to get along great, and I hope I made myself understood?"
Both women looked at each other and nodded their heads.
"Tim, will Tabitha and Tammy be back tonight?" Shanae hoped to put Tim on the spot.
Tim knew what Shanae was doing, "No, they are gone for the night. They will be back in bed with us tomorrow night."
"I remember you saying something about having a few bed partners."
"How about we change the subject? Shanae, Braxlid is also trained in combat fighting. Along with her gift, as she calls it."
Shanae turned to Braxlid, "What is this gift Tim is talking about?" her eyes narrowed.
"I have the ability to make people depressed and tired."
"How would that be used in a fight?"
Braxlid then explained about the attempted mutiny.
"Well, I guess it would work. Do you have any other so-called gifts?"
"I don't think so. That is all I only know of."
"What kind of training have you had? Any hand-to-hand combat?"
"Yes, the Captain made me train all the time. I got to the point where most of the guys wouldn't fight me."
"Well, we'll see how good you are in the training room," Shanae said as if challenging her.
"If you two fight, it had better be a friendly fight!" Tim ordered.
Both girls looked at him and with a sheepish grin, said, "It will be!".
