The Miranda system was a worthless island in the big black sea of Human explored space. It was dominated by red supergiant that had utterly consumed the innerplanets of the system leaving a halo of asteroids basting in the heat and solar radiation of the scarlet monster at the system's heart. The system was utterly forgettable. It held no notable features. The asteroids were full of metals and minerals but nowhere near enough to justify the expense of building a mining operation all the way out here, not when the Atlas system mining outpost in the next system down-chain produced twice as much annually and far more in more exotic minerals. So, Miranda was a blip, a stop over on the way out to the new greener colonies funded by the Kingdom pushing Humanity reach further out into the deep black of the unexplored part of the Milky Way.

Nope, there was nothing here in Miranda of note, save for the debris field.

Rumor was that that a navy squadron had jumped through Wayford all the way here, something only navy ships could afford to do. A jump skipping three or more links in the hyperspace chain seriously drained the jumpgates humongous energy supercapacitors knocking them into an automatic maintenance cycle to recharge, but the navy squadron hadn't stopped and waited. Shockingly they had overridden the gate's maintenance cycle and hyperjumped back through to Wayford putting in emergency shutdown afterward for the next two days.

Wild speculation had swept through the chain from Wayford all the way to Scarborough. The only reason for the rapid jump in and jump back was a battle of some sort had been waged out here. So some people said maybe the Navy had intercepted another Korvathi raiding pack before the barbaric aliens could ravage yet another frontier colony world out here, though Callista seriously doubted that. It would mean the Navy had actually gotten off their lazy asses and done their job out here on the frontier of the Terran Interstellar Kingdom, and since there was a fat chance of that happening she remained skeptical, but it was clear something went on out here in Miranda. It was lucky for them they were the first salvagers out here to pick at the carcasses of the losers of the battle.

She stepped onto the bridge of the Leaf announcing, "Drones deployed, Captain. Beginning the scan now." She came up where her Captain of this ship was seated in his chair looking over his instruments and piloting the ship through the debris of broken ships. Somehting wasn't right here, but Callista couldn't quite put her finger on it. Maybe that was because she had other priorities. She spun his chair around away from his console and sat her big shapely ass down in his lap. "These are all warships hulls. We score some intact military-grade ship components not even that bitch, Auerbach, would be able to keep the buyers from throwing money at us for them."

She reached up claiming his face and planting her lips against his, they kissed for several seconds. "It's all thanks to you for figuring out the codes to get the gate to open back up and let us through before anyone else.... we're gonna be fucking rich after this haul."

The console behind them beeped signaling the drones were in position and commencing their detailed scan of the ship wreckage tumbling in the dense debris field ahead of them. "Ya know, Cap'n, Hammer, sir. It'll take the drones an hour or longer to complete their scans...and you know the prospect of getting fucking rich makes me fucking horny as shit, right?"

Smiling sultrily to her Superior officer Callista got up from his lap but pulled him up from the chair behind her. She began leading them to the wide viewport in front of the consoles giving them a view out to the scenic blandness that was the Miranda system. "It occurs to me that I have never had the pleasure of getting fucked up against the bridge viewport so the entire universe could see."

When they reached the viewport, she turned around and wrapped her arms around neck and kissed him again, "What do you say, Hammer. Wanna kill some time helping a girl out or what?"​

“Ship,” Wrex “Hammer” Smith yawned as he entered the bridge. “Lights.”

One by one, the lights on the bridge winked on. His ship The Nimble Leaf had the most basic AIs Smith could afford. Nothing fancy with no frills or bells. It “worked” for them. That was a running theme on the Leaf. Somedays, all they flew on was Duct Tape and a dream. Life among the stars wasn’t easy.

But it was better than the life he had left behind.

Wrex ran a hand through his curly black hair. He wore a bomber jacket with real fur and everything. It was his most prized possession. Besides that, he wore a pair of baggy pants and work boots. He wasn’t wearing an undershirt and his massive pecs were in full view when his partner finally joined him.

For now he was alone! He made his way over to various consoles and punched in commands on the older systems. Bit by bit the different systems started to come online as he made a full circle in the bridge. He checked their coordinates in the Miranda System and confirmed they were in the right place.

“Check the scans…...” He trailed off and hummed. He checked to make sure there were no ships in the area. His scavenging license was unknown at this point. Given the bad beef between him and Auerbach, he couldn’t be sure he still had it with the guild. He was smart with the gate but that didn’t mean he was the only one. Nor did it mean they would remain alone for very long.

Meanwhile, his partner in crime was on the lower deck getting the drones spun up and ready. Time was of the essence as they raced to get as much salvage as possible before others flooded the system. Lucky for him, he had the best engineer in the whole galaxy on his crew.

Damn good fuck too.

Right on queue, the door opened and Callista’s voice filled the bridge. At this point, Wrex had a mug of steaming coffee in one hand and the other wrapped around the flight stick. Debris flew by as the Leaf skirted the “boring” salvage. He grunted at her confirmation and sipped his coffee.

“Good job,” He called out. “So far so good. The drones will start scrapping and collecting. Then we’ll scram before the big names come.”

He hummed in pleasure as her thick ass landed in his lap. His hand came up to run against her body and her shapely sides. He leaned in to breathe in the scent of her hair for a second before pulling back.

He snorted when she claimed his lips. He kissed her back pressing their bodies together and made out with her heavily for a few seconds. He pulled back just in time to hear her praise.

“Thank you darling,” He grinned. “We do what we do and we do it well. With any luck this will be the payoff we need to get her off our back for good. Then we can go and have a nice proper vacation. I owe you baby doll.”

“Horny as shit eh?” Wrex’s eyes flashed with heat. “You certainly know how to catch a man’s interest. Like, I’m going to say no to that! The drones should be good. I’ll position us and then we can go and have some fun.”

He winked at her. She started to rise out of his lap and tug him with her. He laughed.

“Eager!” He teased her. His fingers flew across the screen as he activated the autopilot feature. ‘Okay okay.” He groaned. “Let’s go baby. Always!”

He pressed her against the viewport window. While her hands wrapped around his neck he grabbed her hips. He pulled her close and dropped his head to make out with her. His tongue dominated her mouth as he started to push his bomber jacket off. His bare chest rubbed against her shirt.

“Fuck you’re so hot,” Wrex broke for air. His lips moved to her neck and started attacking it as he tugged at her clothes.

Callista was a tall and busty Greek goddess with a big aft section. So, when Hammer pressed her up against the reinforced glass of the wide viewport she cooed against his lips before sealing them in a heated kiss. Her leg raised and curled around his hip as her hands smoothed over the bare skin of those broad shoulders. The kiss went on and on. A girl could tell a lot about a man in how he kissed her. Hammer's kiss hit her with the impact his namesake suggested. He was masterful, dominant without being overbearing. It was in short a panty-wetting damned good kiss.

He pulled away so they could catch their breaths, "Fuck you're so hot."

He leaned in his head to kiss and nibble the side of her neck just under her ear and she groaned as the action raised goosebumps and sent shivers of arousal straight down to her moistening core.

"I for one am so glad we decided to just fuck with no strings attached," She moaned running fingers through his black curly hair at the back of his head. "The sexual tension before was really getting to me."

She reached down and pulled up her tank top up over her breasts, "C'mon stud," She said lifting one full breast to his lips, "Fuck me good."

 

[Thepenismightier0813]

The feel of their bodies together turned Wrex on. The bountiful Greek woman was a damn good engineer and an incredible lay! He was lucky to have her and lucky ninety percent of their time was spent alone. He remembered the night vividly when they decided to transition into a friends-with-benefits relationship. One drunken night had led to a night of passion. It was the best sex he’d ever had in his life! And best of all, it was no strings attached.

He wasn’t sure he still felt that way about it. If he was being honest with himself, he thought of Callista more often than not. They were out here in this big bad galaxy all alone. They relied on each other to survive and make a living. Feelings were bound to grow.

The question was, what did he want to do about it?

Nothing right now. Right now he had her writhing body against him and he wanted to get lost in it. She offered her breasts to him. Wrex took her full tit into his mouth! He feasted on her tit flesh before suckling hard on her thick nipple. His hands dropped down to her hips and pulled her closer as he covered it with sucks, bites, and licks.

He pulled back long enough to push his baggy pants down. When he stepped out of them his throbbing bulge spilt her legs apart. He rubbed his cock against her inner thighs as he went to work on her other breast.

She reached down and pulled up her tank top up over her breasts, "C'mon stud," She said lifting one full breast to his lips, "Fuck me good."

Callista was hot as hell. It wasn't just because Wrex was a very good lover, who was rapidly learning just where to touch or hold her, to kiss and lick and nibble, to drive her into absolute sensual overdrive. No, it was also because the two of them had perfectly gelled as a crew on their tiny little salvage ship. He was a damned good pilot and called the shots as Captain, and Callista kept the boat flying and the drones hauling in the top notch salvage to bring them the big bucks, and show up that bitch at the head of the guild, that had it out for them.

The arrangement had been one of convenience for both of them. It was just two people locked in a flying can satisfying their sexual needs. There were no emotional entanglements to ensnare them. There was no possession, no jealousy, and no hurt feelings of any kind. It was just sex. Nothing more and nothing less. You see, simple.

Really.

His pants fell around his ankles, and Callista's tool belt joined them on the deck. She pushed down her baggy coveralls past her hips and pulled her panties to the side to give him access.

In the meantime she gasped and then gave a sultry groan as his lips claimed a nipple and he sucked so so possessively on it.

Over his broad shoulders she could see the results of the drones scans being processed by the ship's computers. There was a mostly intact gravity sump from a cruiser's inertial dampener that would fetch them a big profit, a secondary drive unit from a destroyer, even a point defense array from a frigate that would make every arms dealer in the kingdom beat down their doors in order to buy it off them. This haul was going to make them both very wealthy. She'd be able to pay off the mountain of debt she'd inherited on Calloway...or not pay one dime to those money grubbing bastards. The ship did need a total overhaul on its drive system after all.

All such thoughts fled her brain as Hammer pushed inside of her. Callista looked into his eyes as he drove home, magnificently into her core. Breathlessly she kissed him murmuring for him alone to hear. "Fuck me. Fuck me good, oh god...Hammer..."

 

[Thepenismightier0813]

Her hungry words turned her Captain on even more. It was hard to say no to a woman begging to be fucked good. He eagerly put his mouth to work on her heavy tits the second her crop top came off. How she kept her skin so tan when they were in space ninety percent of the time was anyone’s guess.

“Oh, you don’t have to ask, baby,” Wrex groaned. “I’m going to fuck you until you scream.”

The rest of their clothes started falling away. They both had an above-average sex drive and the little bit of time in between sessions made him horny as fuck. His massive throbbing cock came out and hung low between his legs as he eye fucked her.

“God damn,” He groaned. “You’re so fucking hot.”

It was better to see her panties pushed to the side than to have them off. He liked using her tiny little thongs and G-Strings as a leash as he fucked her. His calloused hands slid down her body and stroked her clit as he finally filled her. Her wet pussy eagerly greeted him! He tipped his head back and moaned in delight.

“Oh fuck me running!”

His head went back to her breasts. He loved marking the fuck out of her breasts. He bit and sucked on them as his cock pumped in and out of her. He kept dancing his fingers against her clit as his free hand wrapped around her hips. He guided her fuck for fuck as the stars twinkled behind her.

Time/Date: 1:22.11 PM Octo 26 412 A.E.
Location: Debris field 40,987.02 KM from Jumpgate downchain to Atlas System

IC: Callista Kailokainos

All such thoughts fled her brain as Hammer pushed inside of her. Callista looked into his eyes as he drove home, magnificently into her core. Breathlessly she kissed him murmuring for him alone to hear. "Fuck me. Fuck me good, oh god...Hammer..."

“Oh, you don’t have to ask, baby,” Wrex groaned. “I’m going to fuck you until you scream.”

Behind on the computer screeens she could see more details of the drones' scans in progress. It was increasingly odd, though. All the derelicts in this debris field came from Royal Navy ships. It appeared there was nothing from any of the infamous Marauders used by the alien Korvathi on one of their raids here in the Miranda system at all. Yet it was obvious there was a battle that had been waged...Could it be that the Royal Navy had gotten so reamed here that they weren't even able to take down one Marauder?

It seemed ludicrous to Callista. Marauders, were equivalent to the Navy's Resolute class Frigates tiny little warships loaded to bear with weapons and drive units but little to nothing in the means of any defenses. The things would blow apart if the navy pinged them with targeting scanners much less going up against anything bigger than a destroyer. The predatory aliens tended to swarm threats taking losses that would cashier any human commander that demanded them.

So, where were the pieces? They should be swimming through debris from Korvathi Marauders. It would've been mostly worthless junk. The Korvathi's tech was equivalent if not a few decades behind the kingdom's in some key areas, They also used a caustic power system with little to no shielding that would be a nightmare for anyone not looking forward to a long slow agonizing death to cancer. Also, it was very very illegal to salvage alien tech and not turn it over to the Old Earth's Special Intelligence goon squad with a reward that wouldn't even cover the fuel. So not worth it.

But was worth it was how she felt as Wrex looked her up and down and said appreciatively, "God damn, you're so fucking hot."

Could the Navy had fought a battle with itself? Why would they do that in a worthless good for nothing system like Miranda? Was it some sort of exercise that had gone terribly wrong on them? No possible explanation seemed right to her.

"Oh god," He plowed into her so well and so deeply, it was driving her fucking nuts with how good it was and then he moved his hand, his large but nimble fingers finding her clit and strumming it so so well as he thrust inside her. "Oh god...I'm gonna..."

Then an alarm sounded. The drones were reporting they'd found something. They'd identified several peices of debris as Navy lifepods.

"Wait," She told Hammer focusing past him on the computer screens. "Hang on."

The drones showed a hundred and twenty or so of them drifting on the other side of the debris field. Why didn't the Navy ships coming back from here pick them up? More pressing was why were they just finding them now? Lifepods had systems that made them loud and easy to be noticed on even distant scans. Yet these had to be practically stumbled over to be noticed. the drones told the tale. Each one bore damage from laser fire, in what was evidence of the worst sort of warcrime.

What had gone on here?

The drones then found one pod still intact and though damaged still working. Someone was out there in the big black, and in need of rescuing. It's energy readings rapidly depleting.

"Shit," She swore with frustration disengaging from his hold, "Raincheck Wrex." She promised her Captain. "That lifepod's only got a few minutes of power left." She pulled back up her coveralls. "You wanna get us clear of the debris field and I'll get down to the receiving bay to get whoever the cockblocking bastard is in there out?"

 

[Thepenismightier0813]

Wrex groaned as his massive cock split her folds. She wrapped her delicious pussy around her and welcomed her into her goddess-tier pussy. Their eyes locked! He watched the lust lingering at the edge of her eyes take root.

‘Fuck me,’ Wrex thought. A sweat broke across his back.

His ass flexed as he started to pump into her. That thick delicious cock of his filled her sweet Greek pussy repeatedly. His hands scrambled against her back and dug into her skin as he pumped deep inside of her.

As much as Wrex was a good captain, he tended to get focused on fucking her and breaking her. He wasn’t looking at the screens or monitoring the drone's progress. Shit would have to suddenly get crazy for him to pull his head out of her pussy (so to speak). This shit was all automated anyways! He didn’t need to-

And then it all went to shit.

Wrex huffed as she started to pull away. “We don’t need the headache of a life pod. Come on Callista! Let’s just……” He trailed off.

“Fuck,” He groaned.

He stuffed his throbbing cock back into his pants and went over to the console. He slipped into the flight chair, buckled up, and booted power into the flight controls. He activated the momentum compensators so she could move about freely and kicked the thrusters on.

“Getting us clear now,” He called out over the COM line.

"Shit," She swore with frustration disengaging from his hold, "Raincheck Wrex." She promised her Captain. "That lifepod's only got a few minutes of power left." She pulled back up her coveralls. "You wanna get us clear of the debris field and I'll get down to the receiving bay to get whoever the cockblocking bastard is in there out?"

Wrex huffed as she started to pull away. “We don’t need the headache of a life pod. Come on Callista! Let’s just……” He trailed off.

"Let somebody die alone in the big black," She shook her head. If spacers had a code the first line would say 'No one dies adrift in space if we can help it', "You'd really be able to face yourself in the mirror after that? What if it was you or me in that lifepod waiting for someone else to rescue us, Wrex?"

"Fuck!" The Captain said pulling his pants back up as Callista didn't bother putting back on just pulling her ship's coveralls back and zipping it up to show just a hint of cleavage. She did remember to grab her toolbelt though.

Fastening the belt around her waste she headed towards the door to the ship's interior as still grumbling he collapsed back into the pilot's chair. Before leaving the bridge she called back to him, "I'll make it up to you by showing you something I've learned how to do with my tongue that will totally rock your universe later tonight, Hammer."
She made her way through the ship dropping down below decks to where the receiving bay and the racks for the drones were. At the command console there she looked over the drones scans. "Shit."

She hit the comm circuit for the bridge. "Wrex, are you getting this from the drones' scanners? The pod seems to have been damaged pretty bad. It's at only emergency power now...it's a miracle it's held out this long, but whoever's in there only has minutes before the power's completely out."

She closed her eyes imagining what it must be like in there right now. Very little air, carbon dioxide from your own breath poisoning you slowly, and the lack of heating causing the absolute zero of space outside to seep in and add the risk of freezing to death to your worries...this was not good any way they sliced it. At the drones' top speed it'd take five minutes or more for them to tow the pod back through the debris field and maneuver safely back into the receiving bay. From these scans that pod was left with only two maybe three more minutes of power left and that was pushing it.

"We'll have to get in there at top speed to scoop them up halfway to us. It's their only chance." Flying the ship at full speed in a debris field would be a seriously touchy bit of piloting-one mistake and the wreck of their own ship would be added to the shattered hulks here, and she was asking her captain to do it to save this total stranger. Wrex might've been right to just say forget it and let whatever poor bastard in that pod go...
Rule number one: No one dies adrift in space if we can help it.

"Captain," She said softly, "Can you do it?"
