"To be honest you could buy an Excelsior model-you can virtually trip over the damned things in any salvage yard-and a pair of beefed up power capacitors from off the shelf and probably get the same benefit as the Abercrombie but cost you 10% less." She shrugged. "That'd be your best bet there."

"I'm never all up on there specs." Jon shrugged with a smile to her, "This old thing just needs something to give her some get up and go."

"It certainly does. The way it is right now is pathetic," She nods, "How much business do you expect to have with this tub?"

He told her, "With her side cargo doors. She should be good to haul anything we can stick in her. Even if a space walk is needed. This part can be air tight and we can open the hold up to space."

"So your plan is to be able to haul multiple sizes of cargo and have the ability to access them anywhere..." She trailed off considering the business opportunities such a versatility could provide.

Jon continued, "Don't need to worry about papers too, so we can take the loads anywhere."

"My forged papers have always passed inspection," She informed him.

After a moment he asked her, What do you think? Would you be willing to help fix her up and fly her. Anything you make you can put to paying your ship off. Could keep your ship in bay 2 so this thing and my fighter uses 1 and 3."

"Hmmm..." She murmured thinking it over, "Now that I see this bucket...I want to fix this thing up..."

"She has three rooms, can sleep six so if I was with you on a run, we wouldn't need to bunk in the same room even." He adds.

"Was that an attempt to ask me out?" She looked over to him with a teasing grin on her face, "...If I do this we'll be partners...everything is split fifty fifty, and no stabbing me in the back either. You double cross me and I'll shoot your ass...and yes...I'd go out with you."

"It certainly does. The way it is right now is pathetic," She nods, "How much business do you expect to have with this tub?" Well what I need is to do a job now and then to keep food on the table and fuel for the ships. So work as needed or wanted. * Jon shrugs*

Jon smiles hearing about the forged papers saying "Good to know"

With Jon telling C.K about the rooms. She takes it as him asking her out. He has a look of shock on his face. C.K then quickly went in to if they are partners then its 50/50 and no stabbing in the back. If I was to cross her she would shoot me in the ass. Then says Yes to going out.

Jon has a dumb founded look on his face. Jon says "cool." It takes him a few second to sink in that he has a girlfriend. Jon was lonely but it never dawned on him to get go looking. Jon smiles looking C.K over as he realizes she would really be a good fit in his life. Jon says"So.. umm hun.. as long as I got my basics covered, then you can take 3/4th most loads but half and half sounds good to me. When do you want to take off and sell that load, or do we want to get my cargo ship fixed first?" A few seconds later Jon adds "I do like the idea of getting your ship nice and legal then I can come in with my fighter any time if we happen to be doing 2 runs. Putting it in your bay was easy and very handy. *Jon winks* I look foreword to landing in your bay often."

Jon chuckles and says well you know my family..The 3 droids and it sounds like your not very close to your family ether huh."

It been a long day what do you think we take her back into bay 1 and rest up and tomorrow we go see about getting this fixed up. The we can slip into the next system. I got a bank there and no idea whats in the account. Most my jobs just transfer the credits so I never see them, but I know i do more then brake even on my loads, so this should be interesting to see..

Jon smiles as he thinks back from telling her about the rooms on the ship to getting a girlfriend. It dawns on him to ask "So dose my fighter need a new seat? so its a 3 seatter? You know how odd it is not having Taya back there but I enjoyed having you with me. So I want to make it a option for you. *Jon grins* Or do you want to lay in the hold *Jon chuckles*"

"Was that an attempt to ask me out?" She looked over to him with a teasing grin on her face, "...If I do this we'll be partners...everything is split fifty fifty, and no stabbing me in the back either. You double cross me and I'll shoot your ass...and yes...I'd go out with you."

He looked a little shocked by that before brightening up, "Cool...So.. umm hun.. as long as I got my basics covered, then you can take 3/4th most loads but half and half sounds good to me. When do you want to take off and sell that load, or do we want to get my cargo ship fixed first?"

"Well fixing up this jalopy will take too long. This sort of replacement should take maybe a few days...a week and a half at most, but I doubt we'll be able to keep Aurora stuck in the hideout for that long...especially when she hears the truth...Do you have the cash for a replacement engine from the salvage yard? If so we can take the capacitor unit into the shuttle's cargo hold and take it and her to the next system where we can get the new engine to replace this clunker." She replied.

He added with a wink, "I do like the idea of getting your ship nice and legal then I can come in with my fighter any time if we happen to be doing two runs. Putting it in your bay was easy and very handy. I look forward to landing in your bay often."

She chuckled at his rather sophomoric attempt at sexual innuendo. "I admit getting legal papers for my ship is tempting, but IPF would want to take it from me...like everything else I've ever had."

"It been a long day what do you think we take her back into bay one and rest up and tomorrow we go see about getting this fixed up." He proposed, "Then we can slip into the next system. I got a bank there and no idea what's in the account. Most my jobs just transfer the credits so I never see them, but I know I do more then brake even on my loads, so this should be interesting to see..."

C.K. shook her head. She knew exactly what she had in her dozen different accounts under different names. It came from a lifetime of living under crushingly unfair debt and learning how to keep her money from getting garnered to pay those debts.

Jon smiles as he thinks back from telling her about the rooms on the ship to getting a girlfriend. It dawns on him to ask "So dose my fighter need a new seat? so its a 3 seater? You know how odd it is not having Taya back there but I enjoyed having you with me. So I want to make it a option for you. Or do you want to lay in the hold."

"Let's just see how it goes before I move into your life," She told him before looking at him with a mischievous smile on her face, "And I don't trust people easily...so I haven't had a date in so long...and its been even longer before I got any...so I at least want to get laid tonight before this crashes and burns on me again...which makes you the luckiest guy in the world, doesn't it?"

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and says I think i got the funds for the replacement engine from the salvage yard. I hardly ever touch my bank account, so there should be a good nest egg there. But like I said I mostly get direct pay so I don't see it. Unless I don't trust who I work for. *Jon chuckles*

Jon listens to C.K say she thinks IPF would take the ship back if they could from her. He smiles and says "Do you think they would take it from me if I showed up with cash for the papper's then I can give them to you? I could go to them saying I work for some one and manage the fleets. It came to my attention that the pappers where forged and I want real ones for it. That should allow you to keep the ship and the good pappers.

As Jon hears how its been a long time she was on a date and longer sence she got any. He could feel his cock harding and knew it was leaving a imprint in his pants for her to see. He was a normal size other then his with. 3 inchs wide and 8 long..

Jon smiles and asks "Do you like to be on top? You seam to be the kinda person who enjoys the control." Job grabs her nearest hand and moves it to his shaft pressing into his pants. He can feel her hand on half of his shaft. Jon smiles and says "If I am on my back you can work my stick better."

Jon was looking foreword to sleeping with C.K. He knows odds are they will have to go slow and hopes she will enjoy slowly working her way down his thick shaft.

Jon smiles and asks "Do you like to be on top? You seam to be the kinda person who enjoys the control."

"Actually in the bunk is the one area I don't like to be in control." She said noting the rather pronounced tent in his pants. How big was he, anyway? She supposed she'd find out. "I like a guy that's not afraid to get a little rough with me. Someone who make me lose control. Someone who can throw me up against the wall and push his cock into me making my eyes roll up in my head. You know, someone who can drive me straight to happy town. Though fair warning for you if you're man enough for that: I tend to kick, claw, and scratch anyone who does try that. But as the saying goes 'if you can't take the heat...stay out of the bedroom with me'."

Jon grabs her nearest hand and moves it to his shaft pressing into his pants. He can feel her hand on half of his shaft. Jon smiles and says "If I am on my back you can work my stick better."

Her eyes widened, "Whoa there, Romeo...slow your approach...How's about a dinner and movie first before we get a little freaky in the bunk."

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and he pushes her to the wall an starts to kiss her on the neck just below the end of the jaw bone. Jon starts to kiss up to hear ear and whipsers lightly blowing in hear ear "I am going too be having dinner here and your my guest of honor." He nibbles on her ear lobe a few times and starts to give her butterfly kisses down her neck having his top lip replace where the bottom lip was on each kiss. As Jon whispered in her ear his left leg slipped in the middle of hers as he used his thigh to rub on her hips hopping to get a good angel to rub her clit.

She wanted a man to take control, well he here he is taking control. She told him she wanted to fuck so that is what he is going to do. Jon feels his 8 inch long and 3 inch thick cock trapped in the middle of there bodys. He is normal in the lenth but knows hes extra thick to most guys.

If she really isn't in the mood for this now he will back off but he hopes she wont put up a fight and end this.

Her eyes widened, "Whoa there, Romeo...slow your approach...How's about a dinner and movie first before we get a little freaky in the bunk."

He smiled pulling her from the seat and pinning her against the cockpit's bulkhead door. Air left her from the impact as he leaned in close whispering in her ear, "I am going too be having dinner here and you're my guest of honor."

He then nibbled her ear and place little soft fluttering kisses down the side of her neck. His leg moving between hers. His thigh pressed against her and he rubbed it against her sending titillating shockwaves through her clit.

Her eyes fluttered and she gasped, "What part of slow down was so hard for you?"

Her balled up fist slammed into the side of his face completely blindsiding him and sending him back up against the pilot's chair. When he looked back up she had her blaster out and pointing at him.

"You really thought I was the type of girl who'd give it up to just any guy I just met, because he suddenly started to manhandle me," She told him warningly, "Damn it, just when I was starting to trust you...and you were so cute too, god damn it."

She took her blaster and slid back into its holster, "The date's off. You blew it, Jon."

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon puts his hands up looks confused and says "But you like it when the guy takes the lead and makes you lose controle. That is what I was trying to do."

Jon think to him self how stupid that was.

He looks up at her with a disappointed face while saying is a sad tone "I was just trying to make you happy and feel good. I am sorry for being such a bonehead."

He sighs as he knows he really fucked thing up with her. He gets a bright idea and asks "if it was another time, maybe later at night. Did it feel good how is was kissing you?"

He says in a flat tone "I wouldn't of thought I had a chance with a woman like you till you told me how long its been for you and that you wanted me tonight.... Honestly."He pure truth could be heard in his voice and seen on his face.

He says "If I pay you for some labor will you still help me get to power system in? If you want I wont be anywhere near the bay as you work.." He hopes somehow he can salvage this with her. "You can still use this ship and I will stick with my fighter if you don't want to work with me on board." Jon looks into her eyes with his big baby blue eyes. A look of pleading on his face.

Jon puts his hands up looks confused and says "But you like it when the guy takes the lead and makes you lose control. That is what I was trying to do."

"I do like it," She nodded, "But when the time's right. When I am ready to do it. That wasn't it?"

He looked up at her disappointment clear in his eyes saying, "I was just trying to make you happy and feel good. I am sorry for being such a bonehead."

"Well apology accepted," She said slipping back into pilot's chair, "Let's just start heading back now so we can put this whole thing behind us."

He sighed but asked, "if it was another time, maybe later at night. Did it feel good how I was kissing you?"

"Yes," She admitted making a wide turn in the flying brick that was Jon's cargo shuttle, "It felt good...real good. It would've been perfect if the timing was right...but it wasn't. and now its over."

"If I pay you for some labor will you still help me get to power system in?" He asked, "If you want I wont be anywhere near the bay as you work.."

"That won't be necessary," She replied, "I want to do the job, and if you can keep your hands off I don't think what happened will be a problem."

""You can still use this ship and I will stick with my fighter if you don't want to work with me on board." Jon looks into her eyes with his big baby blue eyes. A look of pleading on his face.

"No I said it will be fine," She answered with a shake of her head, "Let's focus on getting my salvage into your hold and get it sold so we can help the princess get home to stop the whole Solarian Empire being torn apart in a bloody civil war, deal?"

' recap above

Jons face and voice is full of joy hearing she is willing to work with him still. With the fear of being shot then fucking things up with her. He had gone soft somewhat. He could feel him self getting hard knowing he would still be working with he. She didn't say sex would never happen and that was enough to get his lower head into over drive with hope. Of some night it wont be his own hand pulling his cock out and that some day it will be her hand. Well that is what his little head was thinking. Jon on the other hand with his main head on the shoulders wasn't thinking about sex at all. He was just so happy he could explode that she is willing to forgive him and whats more help him with his ship.

He quickly agreed to put the past behind them and he gave her a quick peck on the cheek the quickly adding "Thank you for staying"As he spun around with almost a bounce to his few steps to the co-pilot's seat.

Jon asks "Would you want a droid with you on your runs that will have nav charts and other helpful info, and do you think we can upgrade this ships power system with your load in its hold? Or will we need to get the power system and come back here? *Jon chuckles* I don't know a damn thing about stuff like that. I can repair and weld anything but installing power systems is way over my head."

Jon rubs his chin for a few seconds and says "I think I got all the tools you would need for replacing the power system. Over the years my parents had always taught me to have any tool you could need for a repair job here. Tho they where my dads. Over the years my mom picked up allot too. When I got the age to start piloting they started to talk about retiring, so the family trips where cut short. *Jon chuckles while the look on his mind shows hes lost in thought* That is how I got my fighter. A nose section here, the cockpit there the engines from the factory. The wings on another trip and then payed for new weapons. Then added a extra engine under the cockpit for more power then worked on turning the nose from the sleek nose point to the thick cargo hold. Once I got the cargo hold my folks retired." Jons face was showing signs of sadness as he talked about how the cargo hold was the last thing he did while his parents where still here. His eyes also are somewhat watering but no where near the point of crying. *Jon shakes his head* Jon then says "So you can see I know the bond with pilot and there ship. How its apart of them. there sweat, blood and tears invested in it to keep it up and running. To keep a part of them alive. Back when my folks where around. Most of the long hauls where done by big corps while supporting the new colony here. There could get away with running shuttle missions from one space port to the planet in that system or next one over. In the company space.

Jon starts to laugh hard holding his gut for a few seconds. Jon says "It just dawned on me. I own a good chunk of this belt. LOL I grew up in the belt never thought about owning it as its not rich enough for mining company's to bother...*Jon chuckles* Come to think of it that is what drew my folks to live out here. Away from people.

Jon smiles and turns his head to C.K and says "Now its time for you to get to learning are home belt."*Jon reaches over putting his hand on her shoulder while giving her a approving nod*

"No I said it will be fine," She answered with a shake of her head, "Let's focus on getting my salvage into your hold and get it sold so we can help the princess get home to stop the whole Solarian Empire being torn apart in a bloody civil war, deal?"

"Would you want a droid with you on your runs that will have nav charts and other helpful info," Jon asked her, "And do you think we can upgrade this ships power system with your load in its hold? Or will we need to get the power system and come back here?"

"I never thought of using a droid," She said, "Putting the capacitor into the hold will weigh us down and slow the shuttle but if we take this tub slow out of here and sneak off to the Safira Brilhante system to pick up the engine you need."

He chuckled, "I don't know a damn thing about stuff like that. I can repair and weld anything but installing power systems is way over my head."

"I know how," She told him, "It shouldn't be too hard...just time consuming to get it right. That is, if I get the right tools to do the job."

"I think I got all the tools you would need for replacing the power system." He said rubbing his chin, [/I]"Over the years my parents had always taught me to have any tool you could need for a repair job here. Though they where my dads. Over the years my mom picked up allot too. When I got the age to start piloting they started to talk about retiring, so the family trips where cut short."[/I]

"Sounds like you were a salvager like me," She told him.

"That is how I got my fighter. A nose section here, the cockpit there the engines from the factory. The wings on another trip and then payed for new weapons. Then added a extra engine under the cockpit for more power then worked on turning the nose from the sleek nose point to the thick cargo hold. Once I got the cargo hold my folks retired." Jon said sadly. C.K. looked over to him and saw he was starting to get shaken up by it. "So you can see I know the bond with pilot and their ship. How its apart of them. there sweat, blood and tears invested in it to keep it up and running. To keep a part of them alive. Back when my folks where around. Most of the long hauls where done by big corps while supporting the new colony here. There could get away with running shuttle missions from one space port to the planet in that system or next one over. In the company space."

"I can't really relate...I didn't know my mother or father. They died a year or two after I was born. The only thing I have of them is their debts on top of mine. I grew up alone on the streets. Everything I earned in life I had to scratch and claw and strive to get any of it at all, and then there was the fight to keep whatever I got." She looked down at her hands vision getting blurry from unshed tears, "I hope you cherish all that you have, and the memories of parents and the gifts they gave you."

He started laughing then and C.K. turned back to him ready with an angry retort when he said, "It just dawned on me. I own a good chunk of this belt. I grew up in the belt never thought about owning it as its not rich enough for mining company's to bother...Come to think of it that is what drew my folks to live out here. Away from people."

She chuckled too shaking her head.

"Now its time for you to get to learning our home belt." He said putting his hand on her shoulder.

"One thing, Jon," She said, "I think we may want to sneak out of here as soon as possible..." She turned to look at him, "...Whoever's in this system pulling the strings knows we're hiding here, and they won't stop trying to get at Aurora...I think we need to get out of here before he or she lowers the hammer on top of us."

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon nods and says "Agreed" few moments later he says "See the two sub planets ahead. Come in just right of the left one. Staying in the middle but to the far left of the gap. Then next sub planet it home.

As she shoots the gap Jon smiles and turns to her asking "So do I need to put in a new seat in my fighter, or do you like ships with more size like this?" Jon can feel his hard cock pressing into his pants leg and knows if she glances down she will see his normal size but thick outline of a cock. In the back of his mind. Part of him is still hoping she will want to have sex this afternoon or tonight.

Jon smiles as she shoots the gap and he says "That's it just like that and next one is home. We will need to swing left and come in facing the field unless you want to come in hard from the side." Jon watches to see if she is going to swing them around to go down the center to land or come in at a hard angle. Jon grins while he waits and says "I hope your going to take this ole thing in and out often. I hope you will be happy with its load."

As she starts to come in Jon says "I been thinking...Once we get this loaded. I should slip out in my fighter and you give me a minute then you 2 slip out to the next system. I can run making sure no one is going to fallow you and I can catch up, Or do you want me to stay in here with you?"

"One thing, Jon," She said, "I think we may want to sneak out of here as soon as possible..." She turned to look at him, "...Whoever's in this system pulling the strings knows we're hiding here, and they won't stop trying to get at Aurora...I think we need to get out of here before he or she lowers the hammer on top of us."

Jon nods and says, "Agreed."

"Right, then," She nodded setting them back on course for Jon's asteroid hideout, "Let's get back and get on it before that hammer of theirs drops on us."

"See the two sub planets ahead. Come in just right of the left one. Staying in the middle but to the far left of the gap." Jon told her pointing out the vieiwport at the two humongous asteroids ahead of them. "The next sub planet is home."

"Got it," She said turning the stick to make the small course correction he just indicated. They approached the two sub-planets and C.K. could see lots of little rocks and debris orbiting the bigger rocks. There only left a vanishingly narrow area between them where they won't get hit. She chewed on her lip hoping she was following his advice well enough to avoid such a disastrous collision.

"So do I need to put in a new seat in my fighter," He said casually, "Or do you like ships with more size like this?"

She laughed out loud as he apparently stumbled into another bout of sexual innuendo. "The bigger the better." she told him noting the outline of his own shuttle in his pants, "Fighters are for people good at being pilots. I'm only a so so pilot. My talents have always been as an engineer and in sniffing out primo salvage...oh and figuring out when someone's trying to screw me over on a deal."

They passed between the two sub-planets with laughable ease and Jon told her, "That's it just like that and the next one is home."

"Uh-huh," She said heading for the next big rock. "I would risk the hard turn, but this is an asteroid field and this bucket turns like an overfed pseudo-whale from back on Galloway."

"We will need to swing left and come in facing the field unless you want to come in hard from the side." He continued then added, "I hope your going to take this ole thing in and out often. I hope you will be happy with its load."

She rolled her eyes but still gurgled another laugh at his words. "Okay, you're having a little too much fun with sexual innuendo, buster. I think you make one more and you'll have to be punished for it."

They were making the easy-going left turn not taxing the shuttles under-powered engines in the maneuver. She could see the doors to the docking bay they had flew out of a short while ago opening up to receive them.

As she starts to come in Jon says "I been thinking...Once we get this loaded. I should slip out in my fighter and you give me a minute then you two can slip out to the next system. I can run making sure no one is going to follow you and I can catch up, Or do you want me to stay in here with you?"

She looked over to him, "That's not a bad idea. We certainly won't outrun any fighters pursuing us with this piece of shit engine in this tub."

They passed inside of the docking bay without incident and set down. C.K. began opening the cargo hold up. "Okay I'll use the cargo loader I have in my ship to transfer the capacitor into yours. In the meantime why don't you go get the princess and tell her we had a change of plans and we're getting out of here now...oh and remember...make sure she doesn't find out about what happened to her family too...not until we're ready, that is."

-------------------------X

IC: Aurora Fairmont

This place had a shower. A shower that used water. A shower with hot water. After weeks and weeks of traveling on military warships where water was carefully regulated and she had to use sonic showers, where soundwaves vibrated the dirt and grime off of her body a hot shower was a blessed luxury she couldn't pass up. She padded out of the showers a towel wrapped around her naked body and another wrapped around the unruly mess of damp blonde hair atop her head.

She hummed a tune from the latest popular music star as she reached for the bathrobe draped over the arm of the chair. She pulled the towel off of her and idly considered her body in the mirror on the wall. She wasn't as tall or as athletic as C.K. was, but she wasn't ugly either...and her breasts were in comparison much larger to the salvager's. She stopped pulling the robe on and curled her hand under the large mammaries that hung off her chest. She'd never understood the odd fascination boys seemed to have with these things. She snorted wryly. She guessed when her father found someone appropriate for her to marry she'll ask that future husband.

The door slid open and a stunned Jon was there...seeing her with only an open bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her hair.

"EeeeeeK!" She cried covering up her body with the bathrobe. Her face became beet red and she was entirely unable to look Jon in the eye as she gasped out, "Please give me a minute....I need to get dressed."

 

[JonathanBair]

As Jon stands in the door. His mouth is hanging open in shock as he stands frozen with his mind overloaded. He hasn't been around a woman for this long in a long time. Then being with two sexy ladies. One of them that happens to be standing in front with only a robe hiding her nude flesh from his prying eyes as they move up and down her body.

A few seconds Jon says "Uhh ummm... If your done with the shower. Uhh We are storing the load and going at it... Ummm I mean going to sell the goods.. Umm I mean parts, we are going to sell the spare parts." Jon noticed that Aurora is red in the face. Jon gulps and asks "Do you need any help with anything?" As Jon waited he let his eyes move over her body quickly hoping she wouldn't notice as he taken in her sexy legs leading up to her nice hips. He couldn't really see her belly area but was thinking its nice and firm to match her exposed legs. He couldn't miss the breasts as they push on the robe. Jon asks "Umm may I slip in for a sex umm I mean sec?" As he points to the bathroom.

Jon wanted to grab his shaving kit. He normally didn't take it as he would only be gone for a few days. Something in him said he wouldn't be back for a while.

The door slid open and a stunned Jon was there...seeing her with only an open bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her hair.

"EeeeeeK!" She cried covering up her body with the bathrobe. Her face became beet red and she was entirely unable to look Jon in the eye as she gasped out, "Please give me a minute....I need to get dressed."

He didn't move. He looked he too was frozen where he stood. He didn't respond either, at least not for a terribly long time, "Uhh ummm... If your done with the shower. Uhh We are storing the load and going at it... Ummm I mean going to sell the goods.. Umm I mean parts, we are going to sell the spare parts."

At least he was as flustered as she was feeling. She grabbed another towel and covered herself further but nodded despite her blushing face her brain still worked like a well-oiled machine. "You said before you were going to go and do that on your own...Can I assume you've come to tell me you've changed your mind and want me to go with you and C.K.?"

He was stil looking at her...eyes taking her in...it was mortifying...it was oddly exciting...no, no, it was confusing...and improper. She was an Imperial Princess, and Jon? Jon was not an approved suiter by her father.

He points to a box on the vanity. "Umm may I slip in for a sex umm I mean sec?"

Why did he say Sex? That was a Freudian slip wasn't it? Jon was interested in having sex with her. Why did that make her feel less embarrassed and more excited?

She raised a hand and told him, "No, you may not. Turn around....Go on do it, Jon."

When he complied she padded over to the sink and grabbed the box he had pointed to. "Uhh...Do you always just charge into an occupied girlfriends-"

What? Why did she say that? Was that a Freudian slip of her own? Now she was getting embarrassed again.

"Err-I mean..." She stammered stepping over to him, "Here's your box, Jon...Now if you'd please...allow me to get dressed with some privacy, okay?"

 

[JonathanBair]

When he asked about slipping into the bathroom . The princess saying no shocked him. He did turn around as she asked. He was shocked when she asked if he always just charge into a room by his girlfriend. That threw Jon for a loop. Jon could hear the sounds of his razor and other shower stuff moving around. Jon smile as says "Umm I don't normally have visitors here, and if you wold join us after getting dressed C.K will be taking my cargo ship... We wont be back here for a while so it would be a good idea if you came with us."

Jon could feel his traveling box to his side. Jon smiles and says "Thank you see you out there." Jon grabbed the box and smiles as he says "take your time but see you out afterwords." Then he starts to walk out. With a big smile on his face. He wanted to do a little dance as he was feeling good about this. both sexy ladies seam to be interested in him. If he played it right. He could get lucky and have sex with the princess too. He wondered what a royal pussy would feel and taste like. Now Jon knew he had a shot at a more lasting relationship with C.K. The thoughts filled his head as he made his way back to the bays and has a big grin on hiss face.

As he made his way to the bays Jon runs into the Patty one of his home droids. He says "Patty we will be leaving. When we do put the power settings for home down to minimum for you 2 basic needs and the radio. All other power should be off as the home will be in a power setting like its not here."

Jon watched as the droid started to make the home in a low power usage. Jon headed back to the bay to see if C.K need any help and he stashed his box in room in the cargo ship that Ck will be taking. Jon still is wearing the big grin on his face as he asks "Need any help, Aurora is getting dressed and looks like shes doing the other bathroom stuff too. I told her to take her time, but to meet us out here afterwords. I am going to stash this box in a room then I will be free to help you. Just tell me how you want me to help." Jon walks to the shuttle cockpit and bunk rooms area. He slipped the box in one of the rooms then walked out. On his way out he seen the droid Taya. He called out "Taya check the fuel readings on my cargo ship and fighter. We will be taking both ships for this up coming run." He watched Taya head over to his fighter to check to make sure its all topped off and ready for a run.

Jon comes out of the ship and sees C.K. He smiles and says in a playful voice "I am all your hun. Where do you want me?" Jon starts to think about where he can land to stash the fighter after the cargo ship gets a new power system, or if she should send Taya back home. He now regrets his cargo ship don't have a landing bay for his fighter to land in like C.K's ship did. Jon asks C.K, "With this new power system do you think it can handle getting a small landing bay in front of the the cargo by and behind the shuttle's cabin area?" Jon asks as he played with the idea of latter on adding a small bay to meet up and land his fighter in the bay while being under way on jobs.

"Err-I mean..." She stammered stepping over to him, "Here's your box, Jon...Now if you'd please...allow me to get dressed with some privacy, okay?"

"Umm I don't normally have visitors here," He explained, "And if you would join us after getting dressed C.K will be taking my cargo ship... We wont be back here for a while so it would be a good idea if you came with us."

"Very well," She nodded, "Give me ten minutes to dress and make my hair presentable and I'll be right with you two."

"Thank you," He told her taking the shaving kit from her hand, "See you out there."

"See you Jon," She said as he started heading out of the bathroom.

There was a big, stupid, sexy, smile on his face as he walked through the doorway, "Take your time, but see you out afterwards."

Aurora watched him leave even as the door slid closed. She turned to see her reflection in the mirror. She too had a big stupid grin on her face. Why in all of space was she smiling like a little girl...a girl that had just found out some boy liked her.

She was being ridiculous. She was an Imperial princess. She had obligations to her father and his empire to think about. She and Jon wasn't a thing. They couldn't be a thing.

So stop smiling. Nothing was going to happen with Jon. Let it go and start dressing yourself.

--------------------------------X

IC: Callista Kailokainos (AKA C.K.)

C.K. was driving the cargo loader bearing the capacitor down the corridor from where the Last Chance was docked to the bay Jon's cargo shuttle. She came to the doors to the bay and was maneuvering the huge and cumbersome piece of machinery.

"Need any help, Aurora is getting dressed and looks like she's doing the other bathroom stuff too. I told her to take her time, but to meet us out here afterwards." Jon came up behind her saying, "I am going to stash this box in a room then I will be free to help you. Just tell me how you want me to help."

"That's fine," She said turning her head to him as he turned to leave. "What's with the stupid grin on your face?"

He didn't answer, and C.K. was too absorbed in the difficult maneuvering it took to load the capacitor onto the shuttle.

"I am all yours, hun." He told her after a minute, "Where do you want me?"

She chuckled shaking her head as she lowered the capacitor into the shuttle's cargo hold. "That's a little too close to some more innuendo, buster, remember you're still on probation...but I would've liked you on your back so I could go to town cowgirl style. But that's not going to happen now since you blew it."

He wisely segued to another topic, "With this new power system do you think it can handle getting a small landing bay in front of the cargo by and behind the shuttle's cabin area?"

She looked at him and shook her head, "If you have the cash I could do it, but it would take even longer than the power system, and we'd have to be very careful about maintaining the hull's structural integrity. It would be cheaper and quicker to install a mounting bracket for your fighter on top like on my freighter."

 

[JonathanBair]

Idel hands keeping busy

Jon stands off to the side still grinning. C.K says "If you have the cash I could do it, but it would take even longer than the power system, and we'd have to be very careful about maintaining the hull's structural integrity. It would be cheaper and quicker to install a mounting bracket for your fighter on top like on my freighter." Humm maybe I will build the mounting bay and work on the wiring. So when its ready we can do space walks moving it on top then. That way its down for a shorter amount of time while we install the fighter bay then.

Jon looks at the cargo being loaded. He asks C.K "Is this the size of your normal load? Is the bay size ok or would you like it bigger for better loading? I am sure I can draw up some modifications if needed. I know it fits all the jobs I normally get offered from my contacts. It would be good to be working from two lists tho."

As Jon stands out of the way. He thinks about what C.K said. "That's a little too close to some more innuendo, buster, remember you're still on probation...but I would've liked you on your back so I could go to town cowgirl style. But that's not going to happen now since you blew it." Jon wonders if he really did blow it or if this is some test. He also is thinking about the princess. If shes a virgin he may want to guide her with her on top. Lowering her hips on his tongue and cock. Jon can feel his cock getting rock hard with the thoughts of both them riding him while having sex. He is about to make up a excuse to slip off to the bedroom and jack off then he remembers the princess is in there getting dressed. That leaves only the shuttles cabins.

Jon says "Hey as you don't seam to need me. I am going to check the shuttle's cabin." With that he heads to the side of the ship and enters the shuttles side door. He peaks in and see there is 3 beds made one in each room. 2 rooms on one side of the hall and 1 on the other. He walks to the bed in the room that is on its own side. He moves to the bed and lays down on it. As he lays down on his back he starts to rub the shaft of his hard cock teasing it. He strokes it thinking of C.K then the princess doing it. Soon he doesn't care and just focus's on the female hand teasing his cock rubbing its hard thick shaft.

 

[JonathanBair]

He closes his eyes as he starts to masturbate. He is so worked up. He totally forgot he has the door wide open. He widens his knees giving a clear view of his hard cock to anyone who looks in the door.

His mind is so wrapped up thinking of the 2 sexy lady's filling his head as there faces shift into one and other randomly.

IC: Aurora Fairmont and Callista Kailokainos (AKA C.K.)

Aurora walked into the Jon's Cargo shuttle looking around. She could hear the little engine running, but didn't see either Jon or C.K..

"Hello." She called out, "Anybody in here."

"In the cockpit," She heard C.K.'s voice coming from down the hall. Aurora followed it all the way to the said cockpit. There she found C.K hunched over the controls pushing buttons and turning dials.

"When we get to the Safira Brilhante system, the next one down on this warppoint chain, me and Jon are going to need to replace that boat anchor of a shuttle engine." She told him looking at a screen that read, engine output efficiency. She shook her head, "This thing is pathetic. It's desperately screaming for an upgrade."

"Okay," Aurora blinked, "Why tell me? I wouldn't know a powerhammer from a monkey wrench."

"Because it will take me and Jon a day or two to replace the thing." C.K. shrugged, "We'll be stuck there until its done. So its a good idea for us to keep as low a profile as we can. So..."

"So I'd have to wait to contact my father or brothers or anyone in the government until its over," She surmised with a nod.

C.K. nodded in turn. "We'll be ready to go when Jon gets in his fighter to act as our decoy."

"Speaking of which," Aurora asked looking around, "Where is Jon?"

C.K. got a snide little grin on her face, "He's in his bunkroom taking care of some man business."

"Man business?"

"You know..." C.K. made a pumping motion with her hand like she was stroking a rod of some kind.

It took a minute before Aurora was able to decipher what she meant. Her eyes widened and she blushed horribly. Was he...masturbating...because he'd walked in on her in the bathroom.

"You're really cute when you get embarrassed princess," C.K. teased, "Are we gonna talk about your reaction to me laying atop of you in that fighter's cargo hold?"

Her blush deepened and C.K. laughed.

"Be serious," She pleaded, "How do you know he's in there....you know...doing that?"

She laughed again, "You're so innocent its really cute. He was surrounded by two beautiful women and asked for a few minutes alone in his bunk....putting two and two together with a guy like him...its either drugs or jacking off and he's not the addict type...well not for drugs anyway. Also he made a pass at me earlier and I had to shoot him down so he's frustrated you know."

"Oh," she said feeling her heart plummet. Of course, it made sense. Jon would like a girl like C.K. so out there and aggressive and unembarrassed about it all. Also it wasn't even like she and him had any future together. His father would never approve of a boyfriend for her like Jon at all.

C.K leaned in with a knowing smile. "You are attracted to him too, aren't you, princess?"

Her blush was radioactive red and C.K. laughed again before wrapping her up in her arms in a big-sister type of hug. "You can have him you know. It's not going to go anywhere with me and him but a one-night stand or two. Whenever I try to have anything more than that it always winds up crashing and burning on me, so why even bother with anything else. I'm just into him for some quick fun not the long haul."

She tipped her head up so they were looking eye to eye, and there was something there between them. Something, more than just sisterly. C.K.'s head moved in closer and Aurora leaned back away, "Don't...I...I'm not...just don't...please."

"It's okay I was like that my first time with another girl too," She replied looking at her like she understood everything, "Just close your eyes and feel it."

Her head leaned in, her lips closer and closer. Oh god she was going to kiss her and part of her was excited about it.

The door to Jon's bunk opened and their heads turned as he stepped out into the corridor and saw them there in the cockpit with C.K. holding her like...like something more than just friends.

Aurora pushed herself free of C.K's. hold. and turned away from him blushing deep scarlet.

C.K. just crossed her arms and smirked at him saying, "After seeing that you need another round in your bunk or are you good to go?"

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and says "Damn I was all taken care off, but I can work the stick later. I will let you two get going at it. If you get to the station before me. I will call ahead for a table for 3.. Last name Bair.. So hopefully will help mask who we are while we wait." Jon's eyes move up and down both ladys as he knows his cock is starting to make a lump in his pants. He dont make any efforts to hide it as he says "Ok time for me to get working that stick for you." Jon waves and turns to walk out the shuttles cabin exit hatch pausing to lock it up and into the landing bay. He start to run threw bay 2 to the far bay where his fighter is. Jon moves to the cockpit ladder and scoots up it saying "Taya time to hit the road again."

As he gets in the cockpit of his fighter he powers it up. He slips on the radio of his home channel and says "ok Patty, when we clear go play possum" Jon looks back at Taya seeing his driod is in and he closes the cockpit roof as it makes a air tight seal. Jon say on the radio "open the doors up and close when we clear." Jon can see the bay opening up. As it dose he starts to give the ship power so it starts to lift off.

Jon scoots out of the doors when there is a opening and he puts his power to full sub light speed as he scoots away from his home and along the belt. He gets into the normal shipping lanes and heads for the cruiser that is patrolling the system near the shipping lanes. Doing that should draw some attention, if not he can try and land to sort out whats going on with the stations security patrol craft that tried to jump him. He comes in on a shipping lane that is on the other side of his little sub planet cave home that he knows C.K wont be taking. He smiles knowing if they try to back track on him to find the lady's they would be going to the wrong system all together

As Jon gets closer to the cruiser he opens his comes and says " Solarian cruiser, This is Jonathan Gordenson trying to reach Admiral Yoshi" As he starts the convo he turns his fighter to a more shallow angle to close with the cruiser. He knows they would be tracking him on there screen and this new angle is less aggressive looking then a head on closing path. He also double checks his transponder to show its his fighter converted into the shuttle. He smiles as he sees a pair of fighters that is on a patrol sweep get vectored to him. As they close and one comes along side. He smiles and waves to the crew. He sees they are in the same kind of fighter tho they got a basic fighter with the sharp pointed nose of the ship. Jon knows if it was to be a fight it would be a tough one, but he isn't expecting any problems. He has a extra engine so he can go slightly faster then them. He also has more armor on his ship so he can take more hits. There computers and weapons would match his. The he thinks he could have a slightly better target tracking system not that it would matter as he as his from a company that makes them for a more short range raiding/strike fighter.

As Jon waits to get cleared to come in. He cant help but to feel pride in his ship. He makes sure the mic is muted as he says to the ship "ole girl, you aint the prettiest girl of the class but you got the add ons to make you better the then class. I know if the cargo fits in the hold ole girl you will get the job done." Jon feels joy and pride in his ship.

Jon feels confident by going to the cruiser he will get the real pilots and not risk any imposters. After a short wait Jon hears on the coms they are asking what unit he is with. Jon un-mutes his mic and says "No unit I am a independent pilot. Do I need to give you my authentication code for you to get a hold the admiral surely the fighter off my wing can tell you my ship fits my description if you have my file pulled up." Jon waits to find out if they are going to bring him on board ship or direct him to another point. Jon is expecting to get clearance to land on the ship tho. "Jon gets on the radio and says "If you have any doubt let me come close to the bay. I got the codes to open most docking or cargo bay doors. Your welcome to have security meet me if that makes you feel any better after all its just me and my droid on board. Trust me you want the admiral to know I am trying to reach him. I work personally for him when he needs it."

Jon can understand the poor crew member who has to deal with this odd situation. Jon is sure its not very common for some freelancer to have this kind of acces. Jon puts the ship on auto pilot for a bit as he leans back in his chair putting his hands behind his head and putting his feet up on the cockpit dash. He smiles as he gets comfortable while he waits.

"Damn I was all taken care off, but I can work the stick later. I will let you two get going at it. If you get to the station before me. I will call ahead for a table for three.. Last name Bair.. So hopefully will help mask who we are while we wait." He said with a smile.

C.K. smirked seeing the rousing of his erection in those cute little tight pants he wore.

His eyes swept over the two of them like a man trying what to pick out first for one of those all you can eat buffet. "Ok time for me to get working that stick for you."

"Oh that's it, buster," C.K. laughed, "You're going to get it when we meet up in Safira Brilhante."

Jon waved and turns to walk out the shuttle. C.K. turned to Aurora. Just moments ago she was about to pop her lesbian cherry, but now...that moment had passed. Too bad too. It would have been lots of fun.

"Okay, kiddo," She told her chipperly, "Strap into the co-pilot's seat there. I'll show you the basics on how to fly this tub on the way to the Safira Brilhante warp point."

"Huh," Aurora murmured sitting into the seat indicated, "Oh-Okay...I guess."

C.K. guided the slow-as-fuck shuttle out of the hangar bay and gradually made a veering turn to solar north. "Next stop Safira Brilhante."

IC: Aida Van Holleybrooke

He sat in the bridge facing Commander Wilcox as the fighter approaching the Imperial Light Cruiser Pulsar broadcast its hails. The hails from the old Imperial Starhawk fighter quickly approaching the Pulsar's position was being piped through to the two of them alone.

"Solarian cruiser, This is Jonathan Gordenson trying to reach Admiral Yoshi."

"So he's come to me. So much for scouring those asteroids to find him," She told commander Wilcox. "Give him some small talk but let him come closer."

After some back in forth between him and Pulsar's Comms officer Mr. Gordenson said, "If you have any doubt let me come close to the bay. I got the codes to open most docking or cargo bay doors. Your welcome to have security meet me if that makes you feel any better after all its just me and my droid on board. Trust me you want the admiral to know I am trying to reach him. I work personally for him when he needs it."

Aida then pressed the broadcast key on her panel speaking, "Admiral Yoshi is no longer in command of the security of the Ashford system. He and several other officers have been detained pending an investigation of conspiracy to commit sedition against the Empire. I am Special Agent Van Holleybrooke of the Imperial Security Service. Mr. Gordenson you are wanted for questioning as well. Power down your fighter and prepare to be towed aboard the Pulsar immediately. You will be given five minutes to comply or you will be fired upon."

She pointed to Wilcox the new acting C.O. since Captain Cheung was currently occupying the brig for the same conspiracy as Admiral Yoshi putting the young commander in charge of this ship. "Lock that ship up on your sensors. When he makes a break for it I want him tracked, and launch interceptors to chase him. We want him to lead us straight to the impostor."

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon muted his mic and told Taya to send a flash message on the back up channel. The old low band single shouldn't be detected by the cruiser. His message says "Going to be late. bank code 841929032002 take what you need, I may be late. My contact is locked up things smell fishy. Do your thing will meet up when I can." Jon then told Taya not to say anything to him and he was going to section off his cabin. A idea he had installed years ago for if he ever needed the back of the cockpit open for a space walk or something like that. He knew his area would be sound proof as it was air tight when sectioned off.. Jon put up the wall behind his seat and hear the seal.

Jon says "Roger will power down and wait." Jon smiles as he knew talking was the best way to throw them off the lady's trail. He hoped he could save some of his work contacts with what is going on in the government. Jon powered down his main engines that propelled the ship. He did keep the 5th one running to power the radio and stuff like that in the fighter. Jon had a bad feeling about this but glad he was coming from the far side from where the lady's are.

Jon sat with a amused smile on his face as he waited to be towed in. He wanted to come in and found it odd that they would do this. He could understand not wanting a possible hostile ship getting close under its own power.

"Lock that ship up on your sensors. When he makes a break for it I want him tracked, and launch interceptors to chase him. We want him to lead us straight to the impostor."

She stood at the viewport for several minutes. She expected the pilot to make a break for it any second, but instead it floated dead in space.

She turned to Commander Wilcox. "Why hasn't he tried to run?"

Wilcox turned to his sensor specialist, "Anything Motombo?"

Motombo shook his head, "We aren't picking up any lifeforms in that fighter."

"A decoy maybe," She guessed turning back to the viewport, "Scan the area for any other ships in the area, and tow in that fighter I want it searched nose to tail for any evidence of where the impostor could be."

IC: Omar Ahmed Anderson

Lieutenant Omar Ahmed Anderson stepped into the security holding bay carrying a case and three cups of coffee. The two security techs stopped setting up their equipment to break into and search the derelict old fighter that had been towed inside the Pulsar twenty-one minutes before.

"You boys will probably be doing an all-nighter on this antique," He said stepping up to them. "Brought some coffee for it."

"Thanks, sir," Ensign McDormand said and Senior Tech Alvarez reached for his. He took his and raised his up for a salute. "To the princess, long may she reign."

"To the princess," The said raising their mugs and taking a sip together.

"Now let's get to work." He said as the drug he'd laced into the other's coffee acted quickly and they fell to the deck unconscious.

He only had a few minutes before he would be find out. He knelt down underneath the fighter wondering where the key for the secret sensor-sheilded compartment for this model Starhawk could be found.

Ah there it is. He pressed that key and the hidden hatch opened up. Sure enough Mr. Gordenson was hidden inside.

"I'm Lieutenant Anderson, you don't know me, but I was part of Admiral Yoshi's operational security team," He told the smuggler, "They locked up the Admiral and the Captain, but I.S.S. hasn't gotten to me...yet."

He opened the case to reveal an Imperial pilot's uniform inside. "Put this on...we need to get you out of here...before they come down to check on things."

After Mr. Gordenson changed into the uniform he led him to the door but paused turning to him with his fingers on the key to open the doors. "The woman they say is an impostor...is it really her...the real princess?"

It had been hours since they'd received the old style message Jon had sent for them. They had been silent and sullen ever since.

"We're here," C.K. told the princess, "Should we go?"

Aurora hugged herself sadly but nodded, "There's nothing we can do for Jon...go."

"Okay," C.K. triggered the tachyon pulse that opened the wormhole connecting the Ashford system with the next system upchain from it.

"Next stop Safira Brilhante." The cargo shuttle flew into the wormhole without incident safely escaping the Ashford system.

 

[JonathanBair]

As Jon is sitting dead in space. He types a command on the inboard data sharing system. For a combat setting its meant to show a target map area or a target building so the pilot and reo (back seat weapons officer) is on the same page what to look out for. In this case Jon is using it to type a message on his driod's screen saying "This smells like a trap. Do a space walk and get home leaving the fighter" Jon looks back over his shoulder and sees the droid open the rear escape hatch in the canopy of the fighter canopy. Jon watches as he is sending Taya to drift and use its body to catch solar winds to move it with out a crafts help. After all the drid don't need air to function. Jon knows if he dose make it out and home..... Taya will need a overhaul and lots or repairs from the inner lining that's insulation for self containing temperature to keep the computers working inside its body to parts of the shell needing to be replaced, buffed and or repainted from the space dust and tiny space rocks she will run into. Jon loves that droid like part of his family but knows end of the day its a robot. The safety safe guards should keep her data safe if she was picked up and tamped with... If tampered with the safe guards will delete and rewrite to be deleted more then enough time to clear any stray data other then the commands of "period"then "delete"..

Jon hopes the cargo hold will protect him as if they try and shoot his ship they will most likely blast the cockpit area... The limited are and insulation Jon hopes will keep him alive till he gets into a ship where he can try and escape some how... Jon just knows every second he can keep them tied up wondering what is going on.... That is a second the lady's are getting away and hopefully into safety. Jon lays as he listens to the sounds of the ship being grabbed by a tractor beam and the sounds of it dropping his fighter on a bed of some kind that sounds to soft for a bay floor. Maybe a service bed to hold a ships frame up while they work on the landing gear struts, or something along that lines. Jon can also hear the muffled sounds of a few folks. To meany to keep track of only to know there is a group near by. Jon pulls his blaster from his hip and lays it on his chest as he waits for his chance to escape.

When Jon sees the hatch opening he hold the blaster ready to fire not knowing if it will be a friend or foe opening the hatch. Jon can see as the hatch lifts up he will have a point blank shot being about a foot or two away as thats about 1/3rd or 2/3rds of a meter away. If he has to shoot he could get a kill hit even with his eyes closed as it would be a near impossible shot to miss.

Jon is kinda shocked as Lieutenant Anderson tells him who he is and that he is a friend. LT. Anderson is shocked for a second seeing a blaster pistol pointed at him, but clearly he expects some kind of defense from Jon. He can see Jon lowering the pistol when Jon hears the admiral's name. Clearly Jon is trusting of this stranger now as Jon knows hes a friend. Jon is eager to change clothing and get away from his ship as he knows its a ugly giant magnet of attention. Everything screams look at me from its butchered nose into a cargo area to the blue with the yellow lighting bolts all along its side. The paint job alone will make it stand out even if you can only see the rear that looks normal with its shape. Jon has miss givings about just ditching his craft. Like any pilot who spend cash sweat and blood on there ride, he loves it. Any good ship commander has that pride in there ship. From a fighter up to battle cruiser kind of war ship.

As Jon makes his way from the fighter he says "I don't know the princess, but I was with someone who said she was. Her escort fleet got wiped out by another government fleet. She is being escorted to someplace and I don't know where. Last I knew the lady who sounds like shes the real deal is safe and sound tho. Again I have no idea if she is real. I am just happy to work with the folks like the admiral or head of the hospital. All that government stuff is above my pay grade to worry about." Jon starts to laugh and nudge the LT. Jon is sure the LT can tell he is being open, but selective of what he says. To the point so LT knows he is not one to take sides based on the side... With the LT being a working class officer he will know what Jon means by its above his pay grade as to be its out of his hands on what will happen. The more powerful are calling the shots.

Jon asks "Where is the best spot for me to hide in plane site. Surely they would be watching any out going ships expecting me to try and hide or pilot one out. A ship this size is there a pilots hang out or something for me to blend in?" Jon smirks as he know this should be the last action the bad guys would expect form him. Jon asks "Can you help me get orders or papers to blend me in. Maybe even put me in with the force." Jon smiles still hoping to show the LT that he is smart and wanting to blend in to hide in the ranks. Jon hopes the LT will even find it funny for a person they are looking for to want to hide in there ranks as if he belongs there. Jon is also hoping that the LT will admire his spunk for it as its such a crazy and bold move. It will show Jon is willing to stick his neck out and is worth the LT exposing him self to Jon.

Mean while Jon can only try and keep the wonder of what will happen to the ladys and to his droid Taya. If Taya can make it home. She can manually open up a bay to let her self in and close it. With no signs of life in the rock. That should keep her safe with the other 2 droids. Jon can only hope C.K can keep looking after the princess and with his bank code she can use all she needs to. He tries not to think about the fact that there should be a sizeable sum that she can clean out. Tho he has no idea and don't care just how much credits he has in the bank.

Jon is feeling quite proud of him self as he is sure he left Wilcox left wondering what the hell is going on. Only the normal shipping is there. No odd craft in range. A human life form that just blinks out like it was never there. Jon hopes that desk jockey should be having a stroke trying to make sense of this. Everything from Jon powering down should be the last thing the paper pusher would expect. Jon don't know Wilcox and clearly Jon don't trust him. Jon hopes he can give the guy a real headache or ulcer by upsetting him.
