Preface
: About five years ago, I wrote a prompt for an erotic roleplaying site. A scenario to play with a partner, about a Space Assassin being sent to kill a powerful Alien gangster. A mission doomed to result in her chained to his throne dressed like a sexy slave girl. I've played it with a dozen partners, written the same scenes several times over with unique Femme Fatales. Many made the same decisions, some of them surprised me and took our story in wildly different directions. Giving me a lot of solace as I worked from soul-sucking job to soul-sucking job. Excited as I came home to find out how Assassin Jenny or the ragtag smuggler Faisha Voln would respond to whatever peril, intergalactic bureaucracy, or prelude to mind-blowing sex I had sent them the night before, and respond once again.
Two years later, when the messages stopped coming, I decided to play out the story one last time. Combining some of my favorite aspects from my players. One's impulsiveness, combined with another's femme fatale prose, with another's fealty and submission. That composite character became Yuki. And I wasn't done with her after this.
I've since made more adventures with her in more mediums: audio erotica, writing, and artwork. Brought to life by the gorgeous voice and performance of KittenVOX, the suave and sexy personification by artist Satanya, and my patrons. But all of that began with this, the basis for Yuki: Episode 1. I've replaced some names for continuity, fixed some of the grammar, but this very much where it all began. Enjoy!
Word has traveled over the star waves from Federation Space to the treaty zone, whispers of the Human Assassin. A Human woman, or at least humanoid in appearance who has slain hundreds of undesirable people for the Federation's Governments, and parties willing to meet her salary.
Little is known about her, even to her employers. Leaks have confirmed that Yuki is not her birth name and that she ran with street gangs from a young age. The rest that is known is that she is slender, no taller than 5'4, pale with full lips, short hair tipped with neon blue, double D breasts, and a juicy ass to go with it--which can get her into places better than any blaster has. Not seen in disguise since her earliest kills, opting to go in her skin-tight suit and thick belt that makes her hips and ass look bigger. Starting in the streets of Phoraxis V killing gang leaders and corrupt businessmen. She's since moved on to bigger prizes out in the verse. Space Pirates like Vrolok the Ironhand, Warlords like Zugatta. With everything from short-range blasters, snipers, to Vibro blades on her wrists. Always with delight, a smile of satisfaction, bubble gum, and an appropriate pun (if there is such a thing).
The job offers have gotten far more ... Intriguing for her as of late.
Y'conian rap music blaring through the halls of her ship, Dancer, as the steam pours from her bathroom, she steps out in her light green bathrobe. The air switching to hot to go easy on her skin coated in moisture. Some liquor ready at her desk, good for taking off the bitter sarcastic edge. Leaning back in her seat she indulges in the beauty of the bright pink nebula her ship remains parked in.
It's peaceful out here. Rarely do Pirates come around these parts. It was a good find, a nice retreat after smuggling runs from her teenage years when she was with Kayto Villaxmin. It's been lonelier since that red stud vanished all those years ago.
He wasn't too bad of a smuggler, but what he lacked in piloting skills he made up for in navigating his girth in bed.
Boys, pleasure, backstory. All of it just distracted her from her work.
"Dancer," she begins, "Display recent job offers, disable filters."
Dancer hums to life. "Yes, Yuki."
The profile drops before the viewscreen as Dancer reads the profile. Images drop of the perp, a green tower of pure muscle, golden robes exposing his six-pack--muscles bigger than his own head, wielding a hammer over his shoulder. Orange eyes, golden jewelry. Image dated 54 years prior. No further images were added since the firewall of the Treaty Zone was put up.
Hm, Yuki thinks, That's a lot of time to put on some weight.
"REWARD: 15,000,000 Federation Credits. TARGET: King Soddorom. SPECIES: Kaechuulan. OCCUPATION: Warlord, Slaver, King of Catabasa and Maraxx and Narn Systems. LOCATION: Catabasa. HEIGHT: 10'5. WEIGHT:--"
Yuki doesn't need to hear the rest, she has heard of Soddorom. The Slaver King of Pirate Space. Possibly the most notorious gangster in the known universe, and on top of that, dictator of dozens of enslaved planets. He is the main reason there even is a Treaty Zone. The Federation would never fuck with his kind power.
But that isn't what strikes hesitation in Yuki. The Federation tries to firewall all the more disgusting rumors but they always slip the net. Rumors of the many "trophies" that make up the entertainment of his grand palace. They are... unsettling.
Humanoid journalists, soldiers, royalty from rival families, from across the galaxy Soddorom has collected into his harem. Women who once stood against him, and now live for his pleasure and entertainment in his grand palace as dancers, strippers, and whores.
She's not about to become one of them. Not tonight.
"A mission such as this presents a great risk," Dancer says.
"Yeah," Yuki agrees, "But it'll put me in the big leagues with Jima Opricus, plus I can name my price from now on," she would say she can retire, and she can with that kind of money. But she knows, deep down, the thrill of the hunt is too good for her to pass up.
"Tell the Feds they've got one dead slaver coming right up"
Catabasa. A planet beyond the Federation treaty zone. A hellscape harboring pirates, slavers, gangs, and the most depraved beings in the galaxy looking for a good time in the Palace of its ruler--King Soddorom. The buildings are tall and gaunt and trafficked with illegally modified ships zipping past buildings displaying ads for slave brothels and illegal weapons auctions. Massive pyres light the path leading outside the city to the landing strip before the three pyramid structures making up Soddorom's palace.
The lights tracing the shape of the Grand Palace come into view, blazing through the layer of smog to show oncoming ships the way. Lucky for the Jade Assassin, that also concealed her approach for at least a little while.
Yuki resumes the Dancer's present course, toward the Palace. Swallowing that lump in her throat reminding her it's been a long while since she faked it to get close to her target.
A nasty, insectoid face fills your view. A Maraxxian. The cannon fodder soldiers of the Universe.
"THIS IS CAPTAIN KZZKT. IF YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE WE COMMAND YOU TO LAND AT THE NEAREST PORT AND PREPARE FOR BOARDING. FOR WHO DARES APPROACH THE CITY OF KING SODDOROM? THE EXALTED ONE, KEEPER OF THE STAR OF MISERY, SLAVE BREAKER, CHIEFTAN OF CHIEFTANS, RULER, AND COMMANDER OF THE MARAXXIANS AND PAGHI, AND KING OF ALL CATABASA!?" He says politely.
She sends her identification, her shady entrepreneur alias, last used for checking into a hotel near her last target on the Asteroid City. She smiles, throwing back her black and blue hair.
"Alice, Alice Holiday," she says.
