"Might I have a word?" Maureen pushed her chair back and stood in the mess hall. She addressed her crew and the skeleton crew of the Errand into the Wilderness.
"Yes, of course." Mary waved her hand gracefully, giving Maureen the floor. It used to be that everyone would have looked to her husband, Isaac, for guidance. But without anyone having realized it, Mary had become the de facto center of gravity aboard the ship.
"Ahem. Yes. Well, we noticed that the Wilderness has fired her deceleration thrusters." Maureen looked around the table. She wouldn't miss those strangely pious faces. "And while our relative speeds are synchronistic, our ship can capture a small percentage of the released energy using a new bypass tunnel I've installed. This means that --"
"TLDR, Mom." Penny didn't quite understand it, but she didn't like where her mother was going with this.
"It's brilliant. Don't you see, Penny?" Judy's dark eyes sparkled with excitement as she gave her sister a nudge on her shoulder. "By blasting some of the energy up this new tunnel, we can rebuild our fuel supply. We can leave." She looked around the table at somber faces. "You've been more than gracious. It's not that we want to leave. But we're not part of your mission. Um ... ow ..." Judy's shin barked in pain as her sister's foot collided with it. "Why did you do that, Penny?" She pulled her shin up and rubbed it under the table.
"Just shut up about leaving." Penny turned to Maureen. "Is she right, Mom? Are we going?" Tears welled in her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to look over at her boyfriend. She couldn't leave him. She just couldn't.
"Yes, that's what I was getting to. I'd say we have about 56 hours until a full charge. Then we can shove off." Maureen nodded. She watched Penny closely. They had all become accustomed to, if not friendly with, the crew of the Wilderness. But Penny was quite attached. Unhealthily attached, in Maureen's opinion. Leaving would be like ripping off the Band-Aid. Her daughter wouldn't like it, but she'd get over it soon enough. "We never wanted to overstay our welcome. The plan was always to --"
"God damnit, Mom." Penny stood up and stomped out of the room.
"I'm sorry about the blasphemy." Maureen turned red as she looked over at Mary. "She's just a teenager."
"It's quite all right." Mary wasn't happy about the blasphemy, but she was more concerned about Mrs. Henderson's plans. "Why don't you go see to Penny's well-being. We'll pray for her. And pray on this planned departure."
"Right." Maureen would never get over how odd these religious zealots were. She stood, pulled her husband to his feet, and the Hendersons all marched out of the mess.
"I have to think things over." Mary stood and strode with purpose out the door.
The rest of the people at the table disbanded. Humility was the last one sitting with her breakfast and milk half-finished before her. "Um ... Errand?"
"Yes, Member Humility Winthrop." Errand's sanguine voice always sounded pleased with itself.
"Did she say we're decelerating?" Humility was quite perplexed. They should have years before the planned deceleration to New Canaan.
"I will look into this." The computer's voice cut out.
"Errand? Errand?" Humility's jaw set tight. Why wasn't the computer answering her? This was very strange. She took a big gulp of milk from her glass and felt her jaw loosen. Well, whatever was going on, it wasn't such a big deal. The important thing was putting out the fire between her legs. She stood and walked toward the door. She needed to track down Jacob. And, if that failed, she'd have to start working her own pussy in the very near future.

With twenty-seven hours until the Hendersons' scheduled departure, Jacob humped Penny for all he was worth. They hadn't bothered with a date, or plans. Penny had shown up at his door an hour before, her uniform zipped down to the waist and tears in her eyes.
They rutted for hours and Jacob dumped three loads in her loosened pussy. Eventually, they lay in bed side by side exhausted. Jacob reached out and slipped her sweaty hand into his.
"You don't have to leave." He turned his head and watched her profile, enamored of her sad beauty.
"Really? You might want to tell that to my mother. Because in just over a day, she plans on us sailing away." Penny didn't want to sound angry with Jacob. "If only she could understand how much I love you."
"That's just it. I have a plan to show her. And keep you here." Jacob didn't like lying to Penny, but he didn't think she'd want to hear that his mother had actually cooked up the plan. "If you give her some of this to drink ..." He reached into the drawer on his nightstand and pulled out a self-cooling bottle. He handed it to her. "... and then bring her here, I think I can convince her to stay." He batted gently at one of her boobs and watched it sway back and forth on her chest. Her tits were even bigger than when they'd screwed last time. "Do you think you can do that?"
