A New Dimension - for DarelHute

[DarelHute]

Maya returned after awhile, stepping inside the cabin, smiling as she watched her shower.

"You are so beautiful!..." she said. "Tanyl will love you!"

She waited until the water stopped.

"Step over here and push this button!" she instructed, pointing to a little dip in the side wall.

As Eloen stepped in and pressed the button, warm air started blowing from each side, drying her most effectively. Maya handed her a set of clothes similar to hers: leather shorts and corset, and a pair of leather boots.

"Here!" she said. "Try these on!"

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"You are so beautiful!..."

Eloen turned in surprise. She had not heard Maya return.

"Tanyl will love you!"

Eloen did not quite understand Maya's comment, but merely pressed the button to halt the flow of water and made no attempt to hide her body from Maya's gaze, after all such modesty was out of place, surely?

"Step over here and push this button!"

Eloen gave a gasp of pleasure as the warm air began to blow over her.
With a giggle she turned her body slowly allowing it to be dried.

she instructed, pointing to a little dip in the side wall.

"Here! Try these on!"

Thanking her, Eloen stepped into the outfit, which may have been the ship 'uniform' as it was so similar to Maya's own clothing.

"You've been so kind ... all of you ... how can I ever thank you ..."

Eloen asked as she stood finally dry and dressed.

 

[DarelHute]

Maya watched her getting dressed, admiring her beauty.

"You've been so kind ... all of you ... how can I ever thank you ..."

Maya smiled.

"I'm sure we will find a way!... Come, you must be starving!" she said and took her hand, guiding her out of the showers and back on the corridors.

"All you can see around you is organic material. It is what makes this ship so special. Tanyl cannot feel contact with each surface however, just in case you're wondering. He has sensors all over the ship, but most of what makes his body is solid material which he can re-generate in case it gets damaged." she explained until they reached the dining and kitchen hall.

She sat her down at a round table, and then placed a box of food before her arranged very similarly to a sushi box, in a varied and colorful display. She then took a box for herself and sat next to her.

"Eat!" she enticed her.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"I'm sure we will find a way!... Come, you must be starving!"

Eloen found she was and once more she found herself walking hand in hand with Maya through the many corridors.

"All you can see around you is organic material. It is what makes this ship so special."

Eloen had noticed the strange surfaces, but had made sure that she did not give in to the temptation to touch the surface as it was supposed to be living.

"Tanyl cannot feel contact with each surface however, just in case you're wondering. He has sensors all over the ship, but most of what makes his body is solid material which he can re-generate in case it gets damaged."

Eloen nodded, but was still no clearer as to where those senses were located and so decided to err on the side of caution.

Soon the two were seated, Maya encouraging Eloen to tuck into a box of food which turned out to be really tasty.

"How many crew do you have onboard Tanyl?"

Eloen queried as they ate.

"You said you needed me earlier ... I'm not ... familiar... with your ship, but I'm willing to learn."

Eloen reassured Maya.

 

[DarelHute]

"How many crew do you have onboard Tanyl?"

Maya heard her question and smiled.

"You said you needed me earlier ... I'm not ... familiar... with your ship, but I'm willing to learn."

"Well, you already met the crew. Me, Lhoris and Akkar. Lhoris is the quieter one, and Akkar is the fiery one!" she grinned.

"That's it! It's not easy to find crew members for Corellon ships. They only accept Thranian crew members! It's written in their DNA by their creators!" she smiled.

"You see... because this is a male ship, the women crew members are essential for the ship's defenses. While men can run the ship, the women are needed for charging the defense mechanisms!" she said, blushing slightly as she ate more.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"Well, you already met the crew. Me, Lhoris and Akkar. Lhoris is the quieter one, and Akkar is the fiery one!"

Eloen's surprised showed, even as she ensured that she memorised the names of her two new male companions.

"Three... for such a big ship..?"

Eloen could not help but query incredulously.

"That's it! It's not easy to find crew members for Corellon ships.
They only accept Thranian crew members! It's written in their DNA by their creators!"

Eloen nodded realising that the other three must also be of the same race as she.

"You see... because this is a male ship, the women crew members are essential for the ship's defenses. While men can run the ship, the women are needed for charging the defense mechanisms!"

Eloen noted Maya's blush, but did not understand the reason for it.

"And you are the only one responsible for defences at the moment?"

Eloen stated gently, concluding that the young woman might be concerned about the state in which those defences were currently in.

"Don't worry Maya,"

Eloen extended a hand and lay it on the other woman's arm.

"I'm here to help you now. Whatever needs doing to get things up and running fully ... we can work on it together... "

She offered.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Eloen extended a hand and lay it on the other woman's arm.

"I'm here to help you now. Whatever needs doing to get things up and running fully ... we can work on it together... "

She offered.

 

[DarelHute]

"And you are the only one responsible for defenses at the moment?"

Maya nodded with a sad face.

"Don't worry Maya,"

As Eloen placed her arm over Maya's, she turned the sad face into a smile.

"I'm here to help you now. Whatever needs doing to get things up and running fully ... we can work on it together... "

"I'm glad to hear that. It's hard work!" she said while she walked away to return to two bottles, handing her one.

"Fortunately, the ship has not been under attack for some time now, so the defenses have not been under stress. But we need to return to Thranis. Our people need us! Tanyl has a very clever cloaking shield that helps us slip through the blockade. Our people are starving and in desperate need of food and medical supplies. That's why we don't take more crew, among other reasons. We need to cargo space and the cabins for storage. Unfortunately, the cloaking shield is powered by the defense array, and that takes a lot of energy!" she sighed.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"I'm glad to hear that. It's hard work!"

That prospect did not worry Eloen.

"Fortunately, the ship has not been under attack for some time now, so the defenses have not been under stress. But we need to return to Thranis.

Eloen hastened to reassure her.

"Whatever it takes ... we can work on it together ... we will save our people."

She told Maya confidently.

 

[DarelHute]

"Whatever it takes ... we can work on it together ... we will save our people."

Maya smiled widely at her words.

"Thank you! We all appreciate your desire to help, even if you may not know what you're getting yourself into!" she smiled with the corner of her mouth.

She sipped her drink and turned to face Eloen.

"I'm a little concerned that you agree too hastily without knowing what it entails..." she said, her face betraying a shade of doubt.

She stood from the table and started pacing around the room.

"You haven't asked HOW we actually help to power the defense systems..." she said hesitantly. "You may not like what it involves..."

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"Thank you! We all appreciate your desire to help, even if you may not know what you're getting yourself into!"

Maya thanked her, though Eloen would obviously need to convince her that she was up to the job.

"I'm a little concerned that you agree too hastily without knowing what it entails..."

She was standing and appeared agitated.

"You haven't asked HOW we actually help to power the defense systems...
You may not like what it involves..."

Eloen hastened to reassure her.

"I'm not afraid of hard work and though I'm not really skilled mechanically, I'm willing to learn and follow your lead."

She smiled, though her words did not seem to convince Maya.

"I'm sure it's a skilled job, but whatever I can do, I'm happy to contribute.
I know I don't really understand how such a ship works or what the source of fuel or power might be, but ... I can't imagine not being willing to be involved with the running of the ship, or Tanyl."

 

[DarelHute]

"I'm not afraid of hard work and though I'm not really skilled mechanically, I'm willing to learn and follow your lead."

Maya turned and saw Eloen's smile, her desire to help and be a part of their crew very clear. She smiled back.

"I'm sure it's a skilled job, but whatever I can do, I'm happy to contribute.
I know I don't really understand how such a ship works or what the source of fuel or power might be, but ... I can't imagine not being willing to be involved with the running of the ship, or Tanyl."

"You don't have to worry about the fuel... Tanyl draws the fuel from the heat of stars. Every time we come near a star, he recharges. That is his food, his fuel. However, that does not power the defenses. Something... totally different is needed for that..." she said and shook her head, starting to pace again.

"Haven't you wondered why only females can deal with that task? Tanyl is a male ship... Does that not raise any questions for you?" she went on pacing.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"You don't have to worry about the fuel... Tanyl draws the fuel from the heat of stars. Every time we come near a star, he recharges. That is his food, his fuel. However, that does not power the defenses. Something... totally different is needed for that..."

Eloen did not know why Maya still seemed concerned.

"Haven't you wondered why only females can deal with that task?
Tanyl is a male ship... Does that not raise any questions for you?"

Eloen considered.

"Well, as a male ship he must only be able to draw the energy for the defences from females ... ?"

She concluded.

 

[DarelHute]

"Well, as a male ship he must only be able to draw the energy for the defences from females ... ?"

Maya shook her head.

"Not exactly..." she said, and then she was interrupted by a voice.

"Maya, report to the bridge!"

"Come!" she said to Eloen and ran out of the dining cabin, joining Lhoris and Akkar. "What is it?"

"We are being pursued by a Rathian ship!" Akkar said and pointed to the screen.

"What? How? I've never seen a Rathian ship so far from our system!" Maya shouted.

"I think they have been tracking us for awhile!" Lhoris said calmly as he steered the ship away from the planet.

"How long before we jump to FTL?" Maya asked in a panic.

"Calculations will take 5 minutes and 35 seconds!" Tanyl's voice was heard.

Maya turned to Lhoris.

"At our maximum speed, we will be in their range in 1 minute!" Lhoris calmly said to Maya.

"I'm ready for them," Akkar said, "but I'm not sure I can hold them off for long..."

"Tanyl, what is the status of our shields?" Maya asked.

"Our shield is at 100% thanks to you, Maya..." Tanyl responded, "but some of that power will be directed to the photon cannons! Lhoris will need all the power I can provide!"

"I'm afraid we will have to rely on shields and cannons until we can jump. I cannot make any evasive maneuvers!" Akkar announced.

"Tanyl, let me know if the defense array drops below 50%!" Maya requested.

"Very well!" Tanyl responded.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"Not exactly..."

There was no further time for discussion as Maya was called to the Bridge and of course she instructed Eloen to go with her.

Eloen stood watching and listening, not understanding the details beyond the fact that they were being chased, almost under attack and that the situation in regards to power did not seem to be good.

"Tanyl, let me know if the defense array drops below 50%!"

Maya asked of Tanyl.

"Can I do anything to help Tanyl?"

Eloen asked of the ship. Judging from the conversation she had just had with Maya, Eloen feared that the girl would be more likely to refuse help, whereas Tanyl would surely make a request of her if there was indeed something that could be done.

 

[DarelHute]

Eloen's question addressed to Tanyl surprised all of them.

"Can I do anything to help Tanyl?"

Lhoris and Akkar exchanged strange looks, along with Maya.

"Have you told her?" Akkar asked Maya.

"No... not yet... she doesn't know how Correlon ships work..." she mumbled.

"Thank you for your offer, Eloen, but since you don't know what you are offering, let's just hope it won't come to that yet!" Tanyl replied.

The ship shook for the first time.

"We're in range, and they're firing at us!" Akkar announced. "Shield status?"

"95 percent!" Tanyl answered.

"After one shot???" Lhoris blurted, just before a second shot shook the ship.

"90 percent!" Tanyl went on.

"At this rate we'll never jump to FTL!" Lhoris said with a trace of panic in his voice.

"Fire back at them!" Akkar suggested calmly.

"I am!" Lhoris almost shouted. "I don't know if it's having much effect. They are right behind us, so their cannons are far more effective!"

"85 percent!" Tanyl said.

Maya looked at Eloen.

"Come with me! I will do it this time and you can look. It may just be enough this time and we won't need you to do it as well!" she said and took her hand. "Tanyl, we're on our way to the mating pod!"

"Very well, Maya!" Tanyl responded. "80 percent!"

Maya lead Eloen away from the command bridge and then down a ladder into a deck below. She stepped forward and stopped in front of a door right in front of the ladder.

"What you will see here may be a little scary! But I want you to stay calm and just watch me! Are you ready?" she asked Eloen while she quickly took her clothes off, revealing a truly spectacular body.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Her request was met by a strange discussion amongst the 3 crew members.

"Thank you for your offer, Eloen, but since you don't know what you are offering, let's just hope it won't come to that yet!"

Her offer was refused, politely, but firmly. And as she did not know how to help all Eloen could do was remain silent and watch anxiously as the action played out, the situation becoming increasingly dire. She looked from one to the other as the fiures were shouted out.

"At this rate we'll never jump to FTL!"

She could sense the panic beginning to grow amongst them.

"Come with me![/I]

Maya was at Eloen's side.

"I will do it this time and you can look. It may just be enough this time and we won't need you to do it as well!"

Eloen nodded.

"Whatever you think best."

She Agreed.

"Tanyl, we're on our way to the mating pod!"

Eloen did not have time to query what a 'mating pod' might be, but the question was still in her mind as they headed away and downwards to a lower deck.

"What you will see here may be a little scary!
But I want you to stay calm and just watch me! Are you ready?"

Maya told Eloen seriously. Eloen nodded, curiosity and for the first time a hint of nerouvsness filling her. This turned to suprise as Maya quickly removed her clothing. Eloen could not help but admire the young woman before her, but just what this 'scary' thing was, she could not imagine ...

 

[DarelHute]

Maya pushed the button by the door and then stepped inside, signalling to Eloen to follow her. The pod they walked in was dimly lit and had a sweet smell. The walls seemed to be made of thin leather, translucent and dimly luminous.

"Tanyl, I'm ready!" Maya said.

As Maya looked at the narrow wall just opposite the door, the leather wall seemed to melt away and an Apollo type man - what any woman dreams of - appeared behind the wall. It was sleeping. Or so it seemed. The man opened his green eyes slowly and smiled at Maya.

"Thank you for coming, Maya!" the man said with the voice that Eloen already heard Tanyl speaking earlier.

The man was naked and his semi-erect cock was growing and hardening as he stepped forward and cleared the wall. The pod was quite narrow and cosy, so Eloen only had to extend her arm to touch Maya.

"You know I love to be here!" Maya said to Tanyl and she slowly got on her knees, watching as his massive cock throbbed hard in front of her face. "I know you need to cum, so I'll get down to business!" Maya smiled as she looked up at Tanyl, and then immediately took his cock in her mouth, taking him as much as she could inside her mouth, stroking the base of his cock with one hand and massaging his balls with the other.

Tanyl groaned as Maya worked on him, and he then looked up and met Eloen's eyes.

"Are you frightened?" he asked.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Eloen followed Maya into what must be the pod. She looked around curiously at the strange looking place.

"Tanyl, I'm ready!"

As Maya looked at the narrow wall just oppos

Eloen gasped as the form of a man seemed to appear from the wall and stepped towards them.

"Thank you for coming, Maya!"

Some how this man, this ... being ... was Tanyl ... or some part of him. Like Maya he was naked, his body impressive even though he was yet not fully erect.

"You know I love to be here!"

Eloen watched Maya drop to her knees before 'Tanyl'. The space in which they found themselves was limited and undeniably ... intimate...

"I know you need to cum, so I'll get down to business!"

Maya took his cock into her mouth and began to work on him earnestly, obviously with the aim of bringing him to climax as quickly as possible.

"Are you frightened?"

The man, Tanyl asked.

"... no ..."

Eloen responded looking at the wall from which he'd appeared.

"I ... don't understand how you can be the ship and be here ... in that form ... "

She confessed.

"But ... I'm not frightened."

 

[DarelHute]

Maya looked up at Tanyl and smiled as she heard his question. She turned to Eloen to hear her answer.

"... no ..."

Her answer came, her eyes drifting to the wall from where he came.

"I ... don't understand how you can be the ship and be here ... in that form ... "

Tanyl smiled along with Maya, who took his cock deeper in her mouth.

"But ... I'm not frightened."

Tanyl looked down at Maya and then up at Eloen, with a soft smile.

"Think of it as an interface. A user-friendly interface for Thranians!" he explained. "For other species, it's other forms!" he added.

"And this is not all!" Maya explained to her. "Come closer and look behind him. You will see he's connected to the ship!" she said and pointed to his back, where she could spot that the male body was connected with the wall through something that resembled a thicker umbilical cord, coming out of his body at the base of his spine.

The length of the cord was only enough for Tanyl to move around in the pod, but not beyond.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Her assertion drew a smile from both Tanyl and Maya.

"Think of it as an interface. A user-friendly interface for Thranians!
For other species, it's other forms!"

Eloen nodded, understanding the need for the 'user-friendly' element given how it seemed the power was generated.

"And this is not all!"

Maya had eased free of his cock.

"Come closer and look behind him. You will see he's connected to the ship!"

As directed, Eloen stepped closer and saw the connection from spine to ship.
It was obvious that this pod was the extent of the 'interface's' movements.
Intrigued, Eloen could not resist extending her hand, touching the arm of the naked man who still stood over Maya. He was warm upon contact. Blushing at her boldness, Eloen drew back her hand rapidly and stepped back hoping that neither of the two were upset by her action, after all she did not want to interrupt the essential recharging process.

Shall I ... go and wait outside...?"

She asked self consciously sure that privacy would be required for what Maya must do to enable the ship to stay safe from the attack.

 

[DarelHute]

Tanyl smiled at Eloen when she touched his arm. He looked at her hand, and then up in her eyes, slightly amused when he saw how she blushed.

"Shall I ... go and wait outside...?" she asked as she withdrew her hand.

Maya freed his cock and looked up at Eloen.

"I asked you to come in here so you can see how it's done. This is just the beginning..." she said and licked the long and thick cock from the base to the head.

"It does get rather warm in here, however. Perhaps you should remove your clothes as well and leave them outside!" Tanyl suggested with a warm smile as he extended his hand to caress Eloen's cheek.

Maya then stood and turned her body towards Eloen while Tanyl's cock rubbed against her pussy.

"You need to see what happens when more power is needed..." Maya began, moaning just as Tanyl's hands gently cupped her large breasts, squeezing them while she rubbed her pussy against his cock. "And... who knows... I may actually need your help..." she added smiling at Eloen.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"I asked you to come in here so you can see how it's done. This is just the beginning..."

She was told.

"It does get rather warm in here, however.
Perhaps you should remove your clothes as well and leave them outside!"

This was Tanyl's suggestion. Whilst 'Eloen' was comfortable enough with Maya, there was something somehow ... different ... about Tanyl. True Inaya had found herself in many situations, not least her multiple marriage, but such activities with what essentially was a 'machine' somehow seemed ... strange ...

"You need to see what happens when more power is needed...
And... who knows... I may actually need your help..."

Eloen smiled at the girl.

"Of course. The situation seems dangerous out there."

Eloen replied knowing she should focus upon the task in hand.
Perhaps this would be a short 'visit' where she was just here to help power up the ship and get them all out of danger? Despite her experiences, she did have reservations about the necessity of having to 'couple' with an 'interface' and a certain wistful regret of having had to leave Bellas and the others; yet Inaya knew that the sooner she found out just what her mission here was, the sooner she would move on and perhaps sometime even find herself back in a familiar setting ...

 

[DarelHute]

"Of course. The situation seems dangerous out there."

Her answer made Tanyl smile widely, nodding softly.

"Thank you, Eloen. Please walk out of the pod, remove your clothes and come back!" he asked her.

Right at that moment, before Eloen could leave the pod to disrobe, the ship shook violently. Tanyl and Maya stopped moving.

"Tanyl?" Maya asked. "What's going on?"

"We were hit with an unknown weapon!" Tanyl reported. "It looks like we'll need Eloen's help a lot more than we thought!"

"Unknown weapon??" Maya asked with fear in her eyes. "Tanyl, don't wait, fuck me, fuck me hard!"

As she parted her legs, Tanyl's cock entered her from behind, and he began to fuck her steadily as they waited for Eloen to return.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"Thank you, Eloen. Please walk out of the pod, remove your clothes and come back!"

Just as she turned to do so, Eloen was nearly knocked off her feet. It was Maya's anxious questioning which first alerted her to a worsening of their situation.

"We were hit with an unknown weapon!
It looks like we'll need Eloen's help a lot more than we thought!"

There was no time for reservations or concerns. As Maya urged Tanyl to fuck her, Eloen slipped quickly out of the pod and eased out of the clothes she had been given since joining the crew. Returning she could see that Tanyl was already working steadily on Maya. Eloen wondered if she should ask about the power status, or if she could help, but she didn't want to distract the two. Instead she stood and watched silently sure that she would be told what she could do if she were able to offer any help.
