-Jason-

I was bored and didn't have anyone to hang out with as the Lieutenant was on duty, but then I remembered that Graf probably wouldn't mind my company. He was on duty too, but then he worked in the propulsion room, and in the propulsion room, they more or less do things the way they want to.

Apparently, it is an old tradition (that is not always observed, it depends on the ship and crew): as long as they put out the power that's ordered from the bridge, the reactor and propulsion rooms have their own rules, and are usually a bit Isolated. Well, as isolated as you can be with such modern connections and integrated computers... In older model ships it was very isolated, thick walls, armor, and a great distance from any other critical system, forming a windowless box, filled with loud and finicky machines, the crew usually wearing thick dark coveralls to hide oil stains. But now it's mostly just a old cultural tradition as the engines are a lot safer, sturdier and smooth running.

Still, in the propulsion room things are more laid back, less rigid- with the exception of the work itself, which can be very specific and demanding. So I could probably go on down and hang out with Graf for a while, and no one would mind.

I decided to take my body, so maybe I could be of some help, or help fix something, and be useful. I headed down the hallway and entered the lock for the reactor room, the door closed behind me and I waved through the window to the operator in the reactor control room as he unlocked the inner door. The reactor and propulsion rooms were an important part of the ship, only trusted crew would ever be let in. The security was tight, but I was always let in with only basic scrutiny. It seemed I was thought of sort of like a mascot, and the crew usually got in a fairly good mood whenever I showed up. There were two control rooms back to back, each control room looked over the two propulsion and two reactor rooms below through large curved armored windows, and from the control room they monitored and controlled the systems, and provided internal security. I headed to one of the two large industrial magnetic lifts that carried crew and equipment down to the engine room floor.

The reactor rooms were an amazing thing; they were the heart of the ship, providing the life giving power for all the ships systems. I may be its spirit and personality, but I was a helpless boy in a tube without the machines in this room. As the lift stopped on the main floor I exited, and entered the port reactor room. It's truly an impressive sight. Two of the four large reactors fill the room, covered in large spherical housings mounted in the center of the room on the mezzanine level. The mezzanine level is mostly a few ladders, catwalks and supports keeping the reactors away from the floors, walls, and ceiling allowing accesses to all sides and underneath for maintenance and inspection. A full reactor overhaul could even be performed in the engine room without removing the reactors!

Above and to the stern end of the large room is the large curved armored window that looks down on the room and where the reactor control room crew does their job. To the port and starboard sides are the primary and back up cooling systems for the reactors. To the aft end are the hookups to the propulsion room.

I found Graf working behind one of the pump units, or so I thought. I spotted him crouched over in a niche behind a pipe, his grunts of exertion as he strained and worked hard on something. I touched his back lightly and surprised him, and he I, when he stood with his jump suit around his ankles and his lightly oiled hard on jutting towards me.

"Jason..." he said surprised as he turned about and faced me.

"Graf..." I said sheepishly and looked down and away some.

"I wasn't expecting you here, I ugh, well, I was just thinking of you." he said ending with a grin.

"What are you doing here?" he said.

"Oh, um, I thought I would stop by and see if you needed any help." I said, taken aback by his forwardness. I knew a lot of the crew took an interest in me, I just never thought they would be so forward about it.

"Well you showed up just in time." he said with a wink, and took my hand. I reluctantly let him lead me in to the hidden spot behind the pipes.

"So what do you say, I'll show you what I was thinking about." he said with a grin.

I wasn't too sure, but then again it felt like there was something between us... and well. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Turn around boy." he said with a lusty growl. He turned me about and pulled my pants down roughly, then bent me over a large diameter pipe. He leaned in close as he put his bull part to my rear. He pressed in slowly and bellowed grunts of pleasure as he slowly slid in deep.

"Tell me you love me boy!" he whispered lustily.

"Graf! I love you! You're my ...Daddy bull, daddy bull! Ohhh-" I let in to my feelings.

"Who takes care of you? Who fixes you up?!" he demanded as he thrust in to me powerfully.

"You do sir!" I cried as he pushed me against the pipe with his hips.

"Who keeps you well oiled boy?" the maintenance minded bull demanded.

"You do sir!" I shouted again as he pounded my ass.

"Whine for me like a good boy." he whispered hoarsely through his pleasures. I whined as best I could as the big bull fucked me.

"Sounds like someone needs daddy's special lube. I bet that will make you happy boy." he said as he continued to breed me.

"Yes sir, yes!" I shouted as he railed me over and over.

"H-here ya go, boy." he said as he thrust in a few final times and fired his seed in to me. He stopped thrusting and bellowed a final time as dropped over me, his huge arms on the pipe holding his weight over me as he caught his breath.

I took the opportunity to let go of the pipe and reached down under me so I could stroke my hard cock furiously. My breath quickened, and my heart pounded, I burned for an elusive release.

"Let me fix that." Graf rumbled as he grabbed me and pulled me back with him, we fell back Graff landing on his ass and me on mine, just in his lap. He reached over and picked up an oiler gun and sprayed oil all over my crotch and took my cock and balls in one hand. He played with me at varying paces and ways for a pleasurably agonizing twenty minutes as I squirmed in his grip. I finally came when he put his finger in my hole and fingered me while he stroked with a fast pace jackhammer. I shot my artificial seed all over and fell back resting in his grip while my breath slowed. I looked up at him from his lap.

"Graff..." was all I could say as he smiled down at me.

"Jason." he replied mirthfully, and we stared at each other for a few moments of silence.

"You should know that lube needs to be changes regularly...ohhh, say, every 150 hours..." he said with a big grin.

"I'll mark it down on the maintenance schedule..." I continued the joke.

"Now run along, I still have work to do. He said and shifted to stand, and I stood and turned about while reaching down to pull up my jumpsuit, he swatted my ass.

"Be good boy." he said.


-Planet side-

-The Lieutenant-

We made planet-fall the earlier today, and I removed Jason from suspension, I wanted to get him ready to be on his feet as soon as possible, mostly because I had hoped to drag him along with some of the other officers when we went to a local club in Hub-13's party district. The place was a blast, it was human run and it catered to human males that liked males, so it was fairly ideal all things considered. I found the Human clubs for males that like females (yes it's odd, but humans are very fussy about the difference) were not as entertaining nor were they very accepting of casual sex between males. So we had scouted the new place the last time we were in port, and everyone was looking for some fun after so long on patrol. I pushed Jason really hard to get him to his feet and ready to go, I probably should have waited a few more days, but I wanted him around and to have a few drinks with him.

"Come on, you can do it." I told him as I got him to jog the main hall loop.

"Lieutenant, I'm really tired, can't we start tomorrow?" Jason whined.

"Oh come on, I know you're not that weak- Don't be so soft." I chided him, trying to urge him on.

"I really need a break." He moaned as he stopped and leaned against a wall.

"Fine, but only if you come with us to the club tonight." I decided to try one last time.

"Yes sir, I just need to rest for now." Jason said giving in.

I smiled, not the way I meant to achieve this, but I did.


-Club Tenz , Hub-13-

-Lieutenant-

"gods, shut up. sometimes your such a little bitch." I already regretted the words out of my mouth.

I shouldn't have said that.

Jason got up curtly and walked away without saying anything other than shooting me an angry look.

"Jason wait, I'm sorry." I said trying to get to my hooves as they wobbled under me. Damn it.

I shouldn't have had so much to drink.

I lost sight of him in the crowd, and I felt so drunk, I just dropped back in to the chair.

I shouldn't have sat back down.

"Damn it." I cursed my stupidity, and looking over noticed my hand already found the bottle of vodka again- angrily I tossed it to the ground breaking the bottle.

I shouldn't have done that either.

-Jason-

It was on our first night planet-side, and the officers got together and headed out for a night on the city, drinking and carrying on at a party club. We were having a good time, until the Lieutenant called me a bitch for no reason. He may have been drinking, but there was no need for him to be such a jerk. I didn't need to put up with that, and so I just got up and left.

I had had a few drinks anyway, and it was getting to me fast so I went looking for the bathroom. Fuck him- he could be a jerk sometimes too. Sometimes I wondered if it was just my ass that kept them interested in me.

I headed down a hallway that was labeled 'bathrooms' but instead found myself stumbling out the back door of the club and into a dark alleyway. I turned around to go back in, but I bumped in to someone big standing in the door. I don't remember much of the attack, a scuffing sound behind me, someone grabbing me by the shoulder, and then seeing the arcs of a tazer. The charge must have been strong, because I blacked out.


-Unknown-

-Jason-

I was only vaguely aware a few times before I woke up, mostly some sounds and discomfort in my muscles (from being constrained in difficult positions). When I did come to, I was sore and bound. My whole body hurt, but mostly my ass, mouth, muscles, and insides hurt bad, my muscles were aching from being bound for who knows how long, and I could only guess that while I had been out I was raped... I felt like I was hung-over in a bad way, like waking up after being doped up for surgery.

I was lying on my belly strapped arms and legs spread to an old mattress on the ground... I pulled on the bindings and tested them some.

"Hey Lenko- the product's awake." I heard a male human voice from behind me. He sounded like a scum bag.

I looked around as best I could- bland concrete floor and joint-lock wall system. (Prefabricated alloy, plastic, and concrete walls that lock together- cheap.)It looked like a warehouse or factory probably. My head was strapped too, so I could only look with my eyes. Off to the side I noticed a stand with an IV like you might see in a hospital, was it drugs? And that's why my head was swimming? Someone shone a flashlight in my eyes much like a doctor checking the reaction of your pupils, I blinked but I couldn't see his face.

"He looks alert." was all the man with the flashlight said before a cloth blindfold was tied to my head.

I would have said something but it just came out as a whimper, it was then I noticed the ball gag in my mouth.

"Well now we can test him out- so far it looks like it was a success. All we have to do is find a buyer." said a second voice, I assumed that was 'Lenko' speaking.

"He'll fetch a good price for sure." said the first man.

"It's been long enough, I'm going to test him out, and see how well the procedure worked." Lenko said.

I heard the distinct sound of a fly un-zippering close behind me.

"What you're a fag now?" Said the first guy, further back in the room.

"Fuck off... I'm just curious..." Lenko said hostilely. I felt him kneel behind me on the mattress, bouncing it some.

"Well let's see what we have." I felt Lenko lay on me, his warmth was almost welcome in the cold of the empty factory.

"But first I have to protect my investment..." Lenko said and I heard the sound of him opening and putting on a condom.

He was going to rape me... had he done that before when I was out? I cried and whimpered through the gag, pulled on the restraints, but I wasn't going anywhere.

Lenko got close to my ear and whispered sadistically:

"That's right bitch, squirm for me." I could feel his hot breath on my neck and ear.


-Later-

-Jason-

I heard the door open and voices as someone entered ... I'm sure it was a Tau entered too, it sounded like hoof steps. Lenko was still talking...

"...A special procedure we created, that no one else can offer. And as you will see, it is no gimmick."

Hooves and feet approached. Then I realized what was happening, why I was being called a product... Lenko was selling me.

"The procedure is dangerous, illegal, and has a low success rate, so buying from a third party such as myself obviously makes the best financial sense." Lenko continued to pitch my ass to the Tau.

"The results of the procedure are that his ass will always be tight like a virgin, with no recovery time. He also can better...accommodate someone of your ...caliber." Lenko smoothly and politely worked through my selling points.

"I want to test him out." said the deep booming voice of the customer.

"That fine- but fingers only unless you make a 25% down payment." Lenko said quickly.

There was a snort then the Bull kneeled and I felt the warm hand of a Tau stroke my ass.

I tried begging him for help, but the ball-gag changed it to a whimper.

A Tau finger touched my sensitive and sore opening, pressing lightly then firmly in. The finger wiggled and tested, exploring and feeling out the opening. It pressed in as far as the large digit could, up to the knuckle, pulling out and then testing the opening again.

"I assure you no matter how many uses you get, he will remain tight." Lenko said quite smugly.

"And his accommodation capabilities are designed for a full ...Tau. Let me demonstrate- This is twenty inches." I felt a rubber dildo lay on my back...No! There was no way in hell I could take that! Oil dripped and poured on the toy, my back and my ass.

Lenko grabbed the slicked dildo and then I felt the head press my opening. With a slow and powerful push, he slid it in, sliding deeper and deeper; it felt like it went on forever. I felt it opening me inside, pushing aside other organs and parts of my body.

"The procedure also straightens out and lengthens the colon and intestine, allowing someone like you to reach full length. And as you can see from this diagram, the whole length is ribbed and constricted, for that forever-virgin feel." Lenko said as the giant cock stopped at full depth. "Your enjoyment is guaranteed."

"So it seems." the Tau said standing back up. "What guarantees do you offer?" he asked.

"You can return the product for half price anytime, not that you would. Even if used as a cheap prostitute, the product can earn his value back very quickly." Lenko said dismissively.

"But that's not all. I wish to direct your attention to the product's mouth." Lenko said as the potential customer kneeled by my head.

"Go ahead and examine his mouth, his teeth. The procedure has made oral safer and more pleasurable, and protects you from any possible defiance on the products behalf." Lenko said as he continued his sales pitch.

I felt the ball gag removed and a finger press in to my mouth, and though I held my jaw clenched tight, he easily opened it.

"The teeth are smoothed and the front teeth were replaced by smooth, rubberized, and safe replicas. You may notice that if he were to try to bite, it would only be an annoyance to you, and his jaw muscles were trimmed down and permanently weakened quite significantly. The product can talk and eat, but he can't bite you. Also his throat was opened up some for your pleasures."

I cried as I understood why my mouth hurt, that he had taken so much from me, and truly wondered what all he had done to me.

- Orbiting Hub-13-

-The Commander-

The assault transport was filled past capacity with the ship's best warriors, dressed horn to hoof in black, gray, and white digital-camouflaged Tactical-assault armor. Our hooves shod in the rubber over steel 'boots' of the type used by my people, with ankle armor covers made from plastic armor plates and shock absorbing pads. The helmets had armored faceplates made of layered alloy and plastic, with optical-enhancements and a HUD built in, even ears and horns encased in additional light armor shells to protect them some while also holding built in ear pieces for stealth communications.

Each warrior was loaded out with weapons from the ship's armory and their personal collections. (Warriors are usually allowed to bring their own weapons aboard the ship.) Most wielded assault rifles and all were strapping Service-3 pistols (a pistol with built in targeting, tazer, video recording, and other similar features), each squad had a few members armed with weapons of higher firepower- light machineguns or light-urban launchers. Also in the mix, many warriors had older weapons... swords, shotguns, maces, and axes strapped to their backs, thighs, and even held as the primary. The group of thirty Warriors was a fearsome sight to behold, dim red lights glowing from above lighting the hold in a sickly blood red and making it look like a scene from some hell.

The mood in the assault ship's hold was dark and smoldering- there would be blood once we found whoever took Jason.

I entered still adjusting my tactical-ceremonial armor, custom-made by a master armor-maker from my home colony, specifically for me, it was fierce and frightening to look at (psychological warfare), all while being very practical and sturdy. The armor's base color was a light-swallowing flat-black, with flat-blood-red trimmings and engravings, and red and black braids adorning some parts.

The helmet was a one off, shaped and painted with white lines to look as much like a Tau skull, with black and red braid hanging down the neck, and vertebra- bone like protrusions jutting out from the neck and back of the armor. My faceplate had the same standard optics as the others did, but was a custom piece of work that when worn, made me look like a nightmarish beast with razor sharp teeth snarling viciously. My horns were greatly increased by the armor protectors that were demonic black base color and blood red engraved patterns twisting in sharp and wicked manner up the horns.

I gripped my war axe: a flat-black mid-sized half-ax- half hammer, the two-handed haft was wrapped with matching red and black synthetic. One side was a sharp and merciless axe with a razor sharp hooking beard, the other a hefty war-hammer, quite capable of crushing a scull or ribcage with one strike, all topped off with a sharp spike sticking out from the head. I also wore two large pistols, one holstered on each hip, and the pistols and holsters were covered in motifs similar to the rest of my armor, as they were part of the matching set.

Looking across my crew, the Lieutenant contrasted sharply, his bare arms, and wearing an urban-camouflage utility cap and light armor vest over a dark gray jumpsuit with the sleeves rolled up. The vest had shoulder caps with small red medic crosses, and he had the same symbols on patches on his chest and back to identify him as a medic (per the doctrines lain down in the' IACDR' or: Articles-of-Inter-Alliance-Cooperation-and-Design-Regulations). He had one pistol strapped to his hip and a big duffle bag in his grip filled with medical supplies.

"I know he will be here." I said quietly as I walked up to the Lieutenant. "I can feel it."

"I will be ready either way." he replied to me, with the same lined and furrowed expression he wore for the last month. Losing Jason was hard on him, he felt responsible- we all did.

"It will be this time." I declared as I closed my faceplate.

In the month Jason had been gone we had searched for him endlessly. We hunted down every human trafficking group and prostitution ring on Hub-13, and I stepped on the tail of every agency, force, and politician on this worthless planet to do so. I broke many laws, paid many bribes, ruffed up many people, and otherwise threw my career into the trash. Three days after Jason was taken, I received orders from command to put out and resume patrols in deep space, and let the local security forces investigate the matter.

And so I stepped on the first tail- I went over my commander's head, to his commander (who was a friend of a friend) and had the orders countermanded. Not a problem in the short run, but eventually very likely to get me posted at a desk in a far away hellhole for the rest of my life. Then I pissed off every human security agency by 'not cooperating with them' , that is: leading our own investigation, not only making them look bad by doing a better job than them, and overnight crushing rings and 'organizations' they had been investigating for years, but pushing the limits of the word 'legal' in many different ways.

Then we pissed in the boot of the Hub-13 customs and local IPTAA agencies (Inter-Planetary-Trade-Authority-Agency) by intervening and intercepting several out-bound freighters owned by known human traffickers, then we angered several local human politicians when we raided 'brothels' they 'protected' from the local security police. The Human ambassador was furious at our total disregard for the human world's laws and agencies, and had requested us to be thrown off world.

I called in every favor from Elders and Warlords I knew, I pulled out all the stops. I was going to find him, even if it cost me my command. Jason was mine. I looked over at the Lieutenant and his furrowed expression, then I looked across the crew standing ready to break the laws with me. I nodded my head, he wasn't mine, Jason was ours.

"Clan and Alliance!" I shouted with a raised Axe as the Assault Transport's engines fired.


-The warehouse-

-Jason-

About an hour ago, Lenko and the buyer- left, talking of returning the next day to see how well my anus held up to the still inserted dildo. I could still hear the other low life across the warehouse, sounded like he was playing cards and drinking. I lay there sobbing softly, what had they done to me? I wasn't property, I was a human being. I lay helpless and defeated, I just wanted to die, Hub-13 was a big planet, and finding one well-hidden human? Rescue was unlikely.

A sudden sequence of explosions shattered my dismal sobs and fear became the dominant feeling, what was going on? I heard shouting, some of Lenko's thugs fired bursts of automatic fire, and a blood lust roar of a Tau filled the giant room. Was this a gang war?After a few seconds of chaos, shouting and shooting, all was silent. The many crisp and fast hoof steps of the attackers filled the room as they searched. The sound of some bull approaching got loud and close, I could only hope...

"Here!" A Tau shouted.


-The Lieutenant-

"Here! I found him!" A warrior shouted from across the room. I dropped the body I was searching and rushed to the other side of the room.

"Secure perimeter! Now!" the Commander roared from behind me and the armored Warriors quickly took defensive positions watching all directions.

The Commander and I convened on a filthy mattress where a naked Jason was bound, gagged, and blindfolded. I kneeled next to him, checked his pulse, and attached a vitals-monitor-patch.

"I'm here, I'm here, Jason I'm here!" I said more emotionally than I wanted to, as I unfastened the blindfold and removed the ball-gag. He cried and I clutched his head to me, and though I didn't want to, I cried with him- I knew they raped him. I knew it. I slid a hand down his back, glad to have him back in my hands, and started to unfasten him from the straps.

"Alright get ready to move! Transport is inbound, ETA: 3 minutes!" One of the assault team leaders shouted.

The Commander looked down at Jason and his grip on his axe tightened.

"Bring the prisoner!" he shouted and looked over at the one shaking human prisoner bound in heavy restraints, kneeling under guard, and head covered with a black hood.

I freed Jason from the bonds and scooped him up in a blanket, quickly hefting him and moving with the Commander to the extraction point.

Several Tau techs in blue jumpsuits moved in quickly, and precisely documented and bagged the evidence for later. Someone would pay for this.

Soon the assault transport dropped into view in the middle of the once busy street now clogged with onlookers, it discharged a smoke screen- the Commander ordered that we take every precaution in this mission, and as the fire teams leapfrogged back to the transport, the sniper over-watch teams left their posts and ran to the transport. All the commotion caused a huge stir considering this was all occurring in the center of a large relatively safe human city, but as quick as we arrived we departed, and with Jason safely onboard we finally were able to take stock, the warriors were still somewhat dour knowing that Jason was not well, but also excited- we had him back!

The Destroyer was waiting in low orbit, on alert and rift drive charged- and once the transport docked in the Ship's cargo bay, it quickly jumped to a spot that was safe in very remote deep space.


-In deep space-

-Warlord Tetrious-

Jason was taken to medical bay, and I quickly stopped in my quarters to remove my armor. As fearsome and practical in combat as it may be, cumbersome and excessive it was while safe on the ship; tossing it to the ground I turned and left. Normally armor needed much time for donning and removal, and armor like this had special cabinets and holders, but I had more pressing concerns.

Still wearing the under armor layers I quickly headed to the medical bay to check on Jason's progress. The Lieutenant was laying Jason on a bed in the center of the room having just been rinsed off in the sanitation shower. He carefully started to examine Jason's nude body for marks or injuries , and a med tech took blood samples for tests.

"How is he?" I asked sternly, I expected to hear bad news.

"I don't know yet, I think-" the Lieutenant cut himself short. "How did I not see this...?" he mumbled to himself disappointedly, and grasped at Jason's rear, pulling slowly out a long dilldo, Jason whimpered as the it was removed, and once out, it was obviously a imitation of a Tau cock.

The Lieutenant grabbed the nanite anal probe and quickly started to administer it. I started to worry that Jason may have serious internal injuries after having that in him. It took a lot of training, time, and gentle practice for a human to take a full Tau. Regular stretching... a lot of pain... I doubt whoever did this to my Jason was gentle. My fists clenched, the human in the holding cell...he will pay very dearly.

Jason struggled some when the Lieutenant tried to introduce the probe.

"No!" he cried out.

"It's me Jason, I need to make sure you don't have any internal bleeding." the Lieutenant tried to calm him.

Jason continued to struggle and cry, until the Lieutenant motioned an orderly to sedate him. The orderly pressed a small white cylinder to Jason's neck and he quickly calmed, the Lieutenant helped him into the fetal position cooing soft words to him. He snaked the probe into the boy, and stared at the read out.

"Commander..." the Lieutenant called me over quietly. He looked stunned.

"What is it?" I said dreading the answer.

"They... they did something to him." he said quietly as he looked at the read out.

"What am I looking at?" I asked concerned what he was talking about.

"This is Jason's colon and lower intestines." the Lieutenant pointed out the features on the monitor.

"It looked like they changed him... They modified his lower intestines... straightened them out. And this... these are to keep him... to keep him tight." he said sadly.

"Was he raped?" I asked quietly. Gods help that human if the answer was yes.

"The probe has detected two semen contributions." the Lieutenant was very technical and cold with his words. I understood, one had to be to say it. It hurt to think that two dirty lowlifes had raped our Jason.

"Write a report. Send it to me before you file it with fleet." Everyone knew what that meant.

"-And I want two guards and a medical tech with Jason at all times." I said as I headed quickly out the door.

I headed to the detention area.

Gods help that human once I get there.


-Ship's Holding cell-

-Delven-

I was tossed to the ground by the bastard bulls, I was still shackled hands and feet, and with a ratcheting sound my feet and hands pulled together behind my back. Laying on my side, they didn't even take the thick black hood off. The voice from the scary one boomed deeply:

"Search him_. Carefully_." the last word was said slowly- an implication of something. "And no marks." he left and the door closed.

A large hand grabbed me roughly about the neck, and the hood was pulled off, my captors were three bulls in urban camouflage armor and uniforms, each had a pistol and a solid riot baton hanging from their belts.

"Well you little bitch, not so strong now are you?" the brown and tan spotted bull shouted as he tossed me into the grips of another.

"What are you talking about?" I shouted in fear.

"When you took him you thought you were better than him didn't you?" the tan colored guard holding me shouted, tossing me to the ground.

"You make me sick." said the third guard, a reddish bull, spitting the last word as he stood over me with a sneer.

"And I think you're hiding contraband." He said with a grin that chilled my blood. "Strip-search him."

I thought I was in for humiliation, and if I had known, I would have wanted just that humiliation. They cut and ripped the clothes from my body and groped me as they pleased. Then pushed me to my face, a finger wiggled into my hole.

"Stop!" I shouted, but to no avail.

"I bet Jason said that to you!" the red one said angrily as he released the connecting restrain then grabbed me by my hair and tossed me over a bench, and unfastened his fly.

I couldn't fight, I was still shackled in very solid cuffs. His cock was huge, and I knew first hand as he raped me, and passed me off to the next guard. I lay panting on the floor in pain when they were done with me.

The scary black bull came back after they were done.

"No contraband found sir." the red one said with a salute.

"I think I need to have a little...hum... discussion, with him. clean him up, then bring him to my quarters."

"Yes sir!" The guards saluted, and the black hood covered my head again.


-Medical Bay-

-The Commander-

I stood in the doorway of the med bay, watching Jason sitting on the edge of the bed staring blankly off into space.

The Lieutenant suggested that Jason be rehabilitated among the crew, that he may heal better in the barracks with the close support of the crew, as opposed to lying abjectly in the medical bay under the watch of guards and med-techs. It sounded like an excellent plan, and he would also get to know the crew better. I had to mentally make an evaluation of the crew and whether they may seek sex from him too soon, but I determined that my ship has a fine crew of honorable warriors, they would use judgment and tact. Jason was physically in good health, the Lieutenant confirmed it, and it was mostly his reactions to the abduction and abuse that would need time.

I remembered his reactions when I forced him to observe homosexual pornography for the first time-it seemed like so long ago, and Jason had come so far. That was like rape to him then, and I knew he was still a bit sore on the matter, he never spoke of it, and dismissed it when it was brought up. But he had handled it so well, I knew he would be ok. It may take some time and love, but he would be ok.

That left one other loose end... that foolish human. Ideally, he would confess what he knows without me resorting to illegal ways, and then I could arrange for the other perpetrators to find their way to my brig.

All things in their time.


-Jason-

I was lost in a haze, doing nothing, thinking of nothing, just sitting in the med bay at the end of the table. Someone had retrieved a pair of plaid boxer shorts from my locker for me and I wore them even though it felt a bit odd now when I wore clothes. The Lieutenant came over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder, I hadn't been paying attention, and wasn't sure how long he had been in the room. Long enough to see me cry I wondered?

"How are you?" He asked.

"I'm fine." I said- I lied.

"Walk with me." he said softly.

I hopped down from the exam table silently and looked at him.

"Why do you cover yourself with that? You know you have nothing to be ashamed of here." he said holding his open hand out. It was worded like a suggestion, but Tau often give commands with subtle remarks- and this was one of those times.

I took the cue and slid the shorts off, and placed those in his hand. He set them aside on the exam table and nodded his horned head to the door.

"I don't think anyone will tire of seeing you." he said as he placed his hand on the back of my head as we walked out of the med bay and down the corridor.

"I think you need some time off work, and to be among your friends and crewmates. The Commander agrees that it would be good for you. I know you still need to talk about it, and you need some time alone too. So for a while you can stay in the officer's quarters so you can have some time alone... but not be alone, if you follow what I mean." He said and looked down at me, his hand sliding down to my back. I hadn't paid any attention to where we were walking, and now we stood outside the officer's quarters. I had a bit of curiosity, as I had never been allowed inside any of the crew quarters so I had to wonder what it was like in there. And it took my mind off the thoughts that had been haunting me after the abduction.

From the schematics, the officer's quarters were smaller than the crew's quarters, but because there were less officers then crewmembers, it had more space. I hadn't been in the crew's quarters, so I couldn't really compare, but the officer's areas were very comfortable. It wasn't posh, but rather a comfortable simplicity, and relaxing soft tones and colors. There was the officer's lounge in the front of the quarters, a private area for the officers to relax, plan their day's work, or file reports. Many of the off-duty officers were lounging about nude, some were having their meals in the lounge, some were reading or talking- I even spotted the Executive Officer playing cards with some of the other officers. He always seemed so hard and tough; I never thought I would see him smile.

Two large doorways entered two other areas of the quarters, one was the officer's sleeping hall, the other was a locker room. The Lieutenant entered the locker room and sat in front of what I presumed to be his locker. Opening it, he started to unfasten his uniform and talk to me and I took a seat next to him.

"I know what happened to you was difficult." he started to preface whatever he was going to tell me.

"When do I get to go back in?" I said flatly. It was honestly all I wanted.

"Jason." he stopped undressing and sighed. "It doesn't work like that. You can't go in until you've passed evaluations."

I stood up and faced him-

"I can-"I started but he cut me off holding up a hand.

"-Not until your over this. Not until you dealt with this." he looked at me sternly for a moment.

My will and determination wavered some and I slumped back down to the bench next to him.

"I know it wasn't easy, but until you're ready, and I say you're ready, you're staying on this side of the tube." he said with an air of finality and started to undress again.

"I thought you were my friend." I said.

"Don't try using guilt on me." he snapped sternly. "I'm keeping you out because I'm your friend. If I put you back in now, you'll be simmering with unresolved issues for the rest of your life." he looked at me sternly for a moment, then he softened visibly.

"Take some time off, rest, and spend time with the crew. Heal. There will be plenty of time for you to be integrated." he said softly putting a hand on my shoulder again.

"Ok." I said quietly.


-Ship's Holding cell-

- Delvin-

I was pulled from the cell and dragged along through the ship, though I couldn't see where, but I could hear the crew though, and their words didn't encourage me.

"Is that the little bitch?" someone shouted.

"I say we cut off his balls!" someone else roared.

"No- Commander's orders, he's going to have a little... chat with the commander." one of the bulls dragging me said in a tone that implied something bad.

"Well that will be just as fitting..." concluded the other voice.

It didn't sound good, and I could only hope this commander fellow believed in court-justice.

We came to a stop and there was a sound of a door opening, I was tossed to the floor inside, and the door closed with an ominous locking sound.

I lay on the floor hands bound behind my back in silence for a while. I was pretty sure the room was dark and empty, because I couldn't hear anything, or see any light through the black sackcloth hood. After catching my breath and listening for a while, I tried to free my hands. I felt around on the floor, it was a carpet of some type, and I found something on the floor, and used it to pry the bindings loose enough that I could pull one hand free, and work on the other. Once I was free, I grabbed at the hood and pulled it off, and sat up, finding myself in a big dark room. The smell of thick pungent smoke filtered across the room, and a very faint red glow briefly lit the room from behind me. Turning around on the floor, I realized I wasn't alone.

-The Commander-

The human looked at me in terror as I took another drag from the cigar. I sat in silence for a few moments, breathing out the smoke and watching it swirl around him in the dark, and I took another drag before speaking.

"You're going to tell me exactly what I want to know." I said calmly as I tapped the cigar in the ashtray.

-Delvin-

There was no way this bad cop bullshit was going to work, I have rights, and the alliance will protect me- innocent until proven guilty, right?

"I'm an Alliance citizen, I have the right to-" I started to say as I tried to get to my feet.

"You have nothing here." he said loudly as he stood suddenly, spitting smoke in my face as I recoiled and fell back to the floor.

"And you will obey Me." the last part said with a twisted grin as he stood over me.

What the hell was that supposed to mean?

Clamping the cigar in his maw, he reached out and grabbed my arm pulling me close to his face, so close I could feel the heat from the cigar.

"I'm going to tell you to do things. And you -will- do them." he said puffing smoke in my face again "And I'm going to ask you things, and you -will- tell me. Understood?" he said with an intensity that scared me.

I tried to pull out of his grasp. When I didn't answer he dropped my back to the floor, I landed on my back and his hoof planted itself over my balls. "Understand bitch?"

"Wait! Hey! I..." I started to protest, and then he applied some pressure. "Yes! Yes! I understand! god- stop it!" I shouted. This was wrong, he couldn't do this, it was illegal!

He lifted his hoof and peered down at me with that twisted grin. "Good boy." He said as he sat back and continued smoking calmly.

-The Commander-

"Now, how many others assisted you?" I asked slowly as I reached over and picked up a glass of brandy.

"I don't have to-" the human started.

An anger built up in me- we had come to an understanding, but now he had already forgotten. I would remind him. Slowly I set the glass back down, and placed the Cigar carefully in the ashtray. With a rapidness that froze the human, I jumped up and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him off his feet.

"Do I need to clarify my question?" I said holding his face close to mine- he shook his head as he gasped for breath.

"Then what do you not understand?" I said dropping him to the ground. "Perhaps I should cover the appropriate etiquette?" I said pacing before him as he clutched his neck and caught his breath.

"You- you are nothing. You may call me sir, and you do as I order you. That should be simple enough. Do what I say, when I say, and this is as far as we go." I said as returned to my brandy and cigar and casually unfastened the top three buttons of my dress uniform.

"Otherwise?" he said looking up at me eyes smoldering with anger.

"Otherwise we go further, and I assure you, I will enjoy that." I said turning back around to him with a grin.

"Fine." he said with an edge of defeat.

"Fine what?" I said as I removed my uniform jacket and hung it on the chair.

"Fine- I agree." He said with a sigh, like it was obvious.

"That's not what I'm looking for boy." I said with a puff of the cigar.

"What do you want?" he asked uncertainly.

"Better but still lacking the agreed title." I said disappointed. "Take off your clothes." I was starting to relish this.

"What?"

"You heard me. You agreed to my terms. One of them was that you would call me sir. Another was that if you failed at any of those, I would escalate this. You haven't called me sir even though I gave you several chances, so now I'm escalating this. Now take off your clothes." I eagerly awaited his next failed retort.

"Hey, I didn't know... I'll call you sir, there's no need to go any further- Sir." he tried to placate with the tacked on title- to late...

"I suggest you start obeying me boy before I escalate this further. I gave you three chances to obey my last command; I only give you two this time, and ones up." I said coolly.

He looked at me in terrified silence, I saw him shaking there, fear was in him now.

"Last warning."

"Yes sir." it was almost a whisper, and he started to remove his shirt. Finally, obedience- the game wasn't over yet though.

-Delvin-

"What was that?" he demanded of me.

"I said 'yes sir'." I repeated louder.

"Good. Now take them off." he said quite satisfied.

I pulled off my shirt and tossed it aside, and started to stand to take off my pants, but his hand on my shoulder stopped me, shoving me back down.

"Ask permission before you move -boy." the last part was sneered.

"Can I stand- sir-." the 'sir' was as insolent as I could make it.

I wasn't to sure what happened, but my face hurt and I was on the ground- I think he slapped me.

"Watch your tone of voice -Boy. And the proper wording is 'may I'. Try again." he said sternly, standing over me.

"May I stand sir?" I asked carefully, swallowing my pride.

"Yes." he said with a dismissive gesture to rise.

I stood up and removed my pants, standing before the bull in my boxers.

"Well, get going- take those off." he said gesturing at me with the cigar.

"-" I opened my mouth to protest, but he raised a hand.

"At this point in our relation, you have zero warnings. Disobedience will be met with forced compliance and escalation." he let that sink in.

"Now, what were you going to say -boy?" He sneered the last part.

I was on fire with rage, but I didn't want him to 'force compliance' or 'escalate' things.

"Nothing sir." I said as I dropped my boxers. I wouldn't be intimidated by him.

"Good boy, I see this will be quick and painless for us both." he said as he touched a control and the lights came on in the room. "Kneel."

I obeyed as I had little choice.

"Now, back to my first question, how many others assisted you?" he asked.

"Twelve." I said. "Sir."

-Commander-

"Names." I said. As I leaned back and enjoyed the smoke.

And then the naked human ratted out all his friends, and most of the others were accounted for by body bags in the morgue, but there was one that seemed to be eluding us... the human 'Lenko'. My little bird went on to tell me how Lenko masterminded the operation, and that they had abducted over a dozen boys, though so far only Jason has survived the operation. The story was gruesome, and its details bloody, but the pitiful example of a human that kneeled before me told all, I suspect he was under the false assumption that by ratting out Lenko he would get off the hook easy. I don't like assumptions. The little bird seemed out of songs to sing, so it was time to put him back in his cage. Too bad he had killed my mood with the dower story of Jason's abduction.

I snuffed out the stub of the cigar and stood.

"Silence." I didn't want to hear another word from this... animal. I felt a bit of rage boiling in my veins, this ...thing had hurt many boys before he hurt Jason.

I activated the intercom- "Guards." I called flatly.

Almost instantly, two uniformed warriors in the hall stepped in and saluted.

"Take him." I said with a dismissive wave.

"Wait! I told you everything! Sir!" he shouted as the guards placed the sack over his head and dragged him off to the holding cell.

I sat at my desk and ordered a strike team- I think this Lenko human should have a little chat with me before I get back to playing with my current prisoner... perhaps there would even be time for a threesome...


-Aboard the assault transport-

-The Commander-

Lenko turned out to not be that hard to find, he seemed to think he deserved a very rich life, and we actually found him at the club across the street from Jason was abducted - how stupid. I had lost most of my anger towards the two prisoners- after all, we had Jason back, he was getting well, and we had spilt blood of all that had stood in our way, and now the two humans that had masterminded the plan were my prisoners, aboard my ship, and awaiting my justice. Really, I felt quite good about it all at this point. Lenko-human actual looked quite cute in irons and on his knees, struggling with the sackcloth over his head. The raid had been quick, and the human had tried to run, but he ran into me. Now we were again jumping into the depths of space, heading to the blind side of an asteroid where we would lay low for a few days and make justice. I placed my armored hand on Lenko-humans head, 'you messed with the wrong human' I thought as I patted his hooded head gently. I would enjoy this.

As the Assault craft landed in the cargo bay, and we began to disembark the guards lifted Lenko-human and started to carry him to the holding cell.

"Wait. He comes with me." I said.

The guards smiled and followed me with the human to my quarters. After tossing him to the ground they left, and I locked the door, and nudged the human to the center of the floor with my hoof. I removed my armor and took my time placing in its proper armoire, while I decided the best way to...interrogate ... the human. Once I was comfortable and my armor locked away, I grabbed the human, and pulled the hood off quickly. Grabbing his shock of blond hair I pulled his face up and looked in to his eyes. He tried to say something, but the rag stuffed in his dirty mouth kept him fairly quiet.

"I'm going to set the ground rules before I remove the gag. One: Fear me. Two: obey me. Three: No warnings." His eyes spoke volumes, and I knew I was going to have fun tonight. I grabbed the rag in his mouth and threw him to the floor, then tossed the wet rag on top of him.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you're going to tell me the answers politely, and use the word 'sir' a lot." I said eagerly awaiting his first poor choice of words.

"Like hell." he replied as he sat up on his knees. I grinned and gave him the very lightest glancing kick I could to the head, spinning him to the floor again.

"You didn't say 'sir'." I replied as I removed my shirt, I knew how this would end. The human struggled to his knees again a large red mark on his pretty face.

"I said-" his mouth was silenced by a resounding backhand slap across the face.

"I didn't say you could speak bitch." I said calmly.

"I don't give a fuck-'Sir'." the human mocked before I gave him a second slap.

"You should bitch." I said pushing him to the ground, and wrestled him into my grasp, with his back to my chest and I grabbed his bound arms with one hand. He tried to head butt me, and hit my snout several times, but it was nothing.

Pulling a knife from its sheath, I held it in front of his face close so he could admire its sharp edge, then reached down and sliced his belt off and cut up his fancy shirt. Tossing the knife aside I pulled his tattered shirt and pants off, then ripped his boxers off.

"I give a fuck." I whispered ominously in his ear. Then let him go, pushing him to his face. I got up and started to remove my pants.

"Now I think you can agree that you may want to call me sir, for the sake of your virginity."

"You wouldn't dare..." he started, and after some quick thinking he chose wisely..." Sir."

"Well now, Lenko-human, it looks like our dialogue has finally started." I said as set my pants aside.

Standing over him in my skivvies I was almost disappointed, wondering if this would be too easy. So I asked a hard question first:

"Did you rape the boy?" I already knew the answer, but a confession would definitely help.

He seemed to choke under the question, I suspect he now realized how deep of trouble he was in.

"No." He said. "Sir." he added.

I grabbed his hair again and lifted him to his knees. As I stood in front of him, his face inches from my skivvies.

"I don't like liars."

"I didn't. Ow, ow-oow let me go!" he said as he struggled and I threw him down and looked at him disappointedly.

I waited a few moments- even though I didn't have to- but I liked the idea of giving this bitch a sporting chance. His moment was up and he failed to use the magic word 'Sir'. I shook my head, too bad for him, his fate was decided.

"Yes, yes you did. We found your seed in the boy." I said, the mere thought coresing anger through my veins.

He looked up from the ground in shock.

"No! That's not true! That's false evidence!" He shouted as I grinned and back handed him again.

"Are you calling me a liar?" I asked.

"No sir" he said as he turned his face back, his face was red and lip was broken from the last blow.

"We also found a broken condom..." his face visibly flattened, he knew he was sunk, he had been so careful to keep himself distant from all of this... but failed. He must have decided that I was trying to trick him in to confession, because he continued to deny the claim.

"This act isn't going to scare me, I have good lawyers you fucking cow!" He shouted, thinking that somehow he was going to sit in a cell on Hub-13 where his lawyers might help him.

And now I was mad.

My slap simultaneously sent him back to the floor, and back into reality.

"You have an insolent mouth boy. Let me give you something for that." I said as I ripped off the skivvies I wore, wadding them up, and then jammed them in his mouth.

Now with my hard on exposed and my musk permeate the air further, I decided to retell the story.

"Now why don't I tell you what I think happened..." I said as I picked him up under the arms and tossed him over the arm of my chair, in the most convenient butt-fucking position.

"I think you took the boy, and I think you raped him." I said as I got in to position behind him and pressed my cock flat against his back, to fully impress him with my size.

"I think you probably used lube...So I will give you that benefit." I said as I reached into a drawer and retrieved a small bottle.

Now Lenko-Human was screaming into the gag, I think he was regretting his poor choice of words. I dashed the lube over my bull-hood and his ass, and then pressed against it.

"And I think you didn't care about him when you did either, I think you ignored his screams of pain..." I continued as I lined up with his virgin ass.

"Let's test that theory..."

He screamed as loud as he could through the gag right before I poked him, so I stopped.

"What's that? Have something to say?" I asked.

"Mmmmhhhh!"Lenko energetically nodded his head up and down.

"I don't know, last time you spoke you were quite insolent. I wonder if I should wait until after I'm done here before I let you speak." I posed the thoughts aloud as I patted his ass for emphasis.

Lenko shook his head quickly."Nnnnhh! Nnnhhh!" he tried to beg through the gag.

"Well... I suppose I could take that out of your mouth, if you agree to tell me the truth, and use the appropriate honorifics..." I said as if I had to be persuaded to do so, and was still thinking about it.

"Mmmhhh" Lenko shouted through the musky gag and nodded his head again.

I rather enjoyed humans fear of homosexuality.

"I guess I could be persuaded if you humbled yourself before me, and told me the truth." I said aloud for his benefit. He wouldn't have bothered with humiliating himself if he knew what I was thinking.

I stood and pulled him off my chair and tossed him to the ground again, and removed the cloth from his mouth.

"Be good, bitch." I warned him.

"Yes! Yes sir!" he cried energetically, he was on the verge of tears for having narrowly averted a horrific rape.

"So you raped the boy?" I posed again as I sat down.

"Y...yes. Sir." he said frightened, knowing that I would be displeased by his answer.

"Tell me." I said flatly.


-Lenko-

I told the black bull, I told him everything about when I took the stupid boy. If I didn't he was going to rape me- If my confession would save me that, it was worth it. I could take care of myself in prison, and I sure as hell wasn't going to get punked before I got there.

I described everything, with the bull occasionally asking for more details as he sat in an otherwise stony silence in his chair. Strangely enough, he wanted me to tell him how much I enjoyed it. Weird, but whatever, I figured he wanted me to get going and spill everything, every last detail-but there were a few of those I would keep to myself. The bull just sat in his armchair, watching me intently and stroking his huge hard-on slowly, as an occasional reminder as to why I was telling him every little thing about raping the boy.

"It's a very nice story- boy." he said when I was done retelling the rape. "But there is something wrong with it." he stood up.

"I told you the truth sir." I said even though I was lying.

"Well you see this?" the bull said as he got up and produced a mattress from a closet door- a dirty, stained, single mattress- the very one from the warehouse!

"It was on the floor like this." he said dropping it. You said the gag...this gag" he said producing a bag of evidence with the stupid red ball gag in it. "Was in his mouth like this."

And he placed it in mine, I tried to struggle but a light slap on the cheek reminded me of the pointlessness of such.

"And he was tied to the mattress like this" the black bull continued. As he pushed me down to the filthy mattress and tied my hands and feet.

"Now you said that you came up behind him and he was blindfolded with this." and he produced another bag with the cloth blindfold and tied it to my head. I knew where this was going but couldn't stop it, and I didn't want to even think that I was going to get raped. This had to be more scare tactics- Oh god, it had to be.

"So you got down behind him like this." the bull said lustily as he crouched over the mattress. And maybe you stroked his fine ass first?" He speculated as he did so to me.

I bit in to the gag, and tried to shout but it was far too effective. Ironically I had bought this gag at a sex shop myself, all to keep the little bitch quiet.

"Maybe you gave his tight little ass a few slaps too?" the bull continued to speculate as he played with me. I shouted with the powerful blows of his palm to my ass, and pulled on the bindings. Fuck. I had come up with the mattress and rope thing I was now in.

"But then you just had to see how tight that hole was didn't you? You couldn't help yourself." the bull narrated his thoughts. He leaned in close to penetrate. "But wait, you don't want to leave any evidence of the rape... so you get a condom." the bull backed off and grabbed a huge foil wrapper that contained a Tau sized condom. He applied it evident of the sounds, and then leaned back in. A huge pressure formed on my rear, and slid down to the unwilling opening. It centered and then the pressure built, I screamed into the gag, but to no avail. With a pop, the oiled head pressed in and I screamed in the most excruciating pain I had ever felt.

The bull huffed as he pressed and squeezed into me and inch by inch removed my virginity. I was sure he was all the way in, but was disheartened when he commented that just the head was in. He tried to press more in and got a quarter inch, but didn't press further than that. My anus hurt with a pain I had never felt before, was this karma for the dozen boys that didn't survive the procedure?

He raped me with a fraction of his huge cock thrusting repetitively, the pain was excruciating and I could feel the condom swell with seed when he came.

"Bitch!" he shouted in my ear as he fired his load inside me. He slumped on top of me and rested a moment before getting up and continuing his narration.

"So...W-When you were... Done... you got up... and tossed the condom aside..." He said catching his breath as he threw the huge and filled bull-hood-cover aside.

"But for some reason, we found the broken condom ... here." and he dropped an evidence bag in front of me and removed the blindfold so I could see it. A ripped condom, it was damming evidence of the other act I didn't want to mention, the other act I did with that boy...

"So what was it? Did you need to see how well that oral surgery when? Testing out the 'product'?" he sat in front of me too much like how I had, his huge swollen bull part in my face dripping the last of its load on my face.

"Well now, you lied to me it seems." the bull said mocking disappointment. "I thought part of our agreement was that you weren't going to lie, that you would tell the truth." he said shaking his huge horned head slowly.

"Well what am I going to do with you now?" he asked no one in particular as he let his genitals rest on my face.

The smell of sweaty bull sex was overpowering, and the heat that came off the organ was immense. He got up and grabbed his glass of brandy again, topping it off.

"Well, we will continue our little ...discussion... later. We'll decide what to do about that little lie of yours." He said as he summoned the guards who placed the sack over my head and untied me from the mattress.

"To the brig- Solitary. For now." the bull said I was dragged in to the hall.

-The Commander-

I had to stop myself, even though felt I was still shy of justice. I wanted to rape that human again and again, to show him his place and to hurt him, I sighed- But needed to do that without anger- that wouldn't be justice, it would just be violence. I needed to be calm and cool, and to keep my head about me. I had a much bigger plan, a much more just plan, and I needed to stay with it.


-Ship's Holding cell-

-Lenko-

I wasn't too sure how long I had been in the cell, there was nothing to indicate time or change. The room was big, and bright -presumably it was also to be used for Tau prisoners- but it was empty too. The seamless silver walls with radiused corners was one solid piece, even the area where the ceiling and floors met the walls were smoothed- there would be no prying, hiding anything, or any of that. The floor was smooth metal with a drain in the center, and there was a squatting toilet of sorts in one corner. A gel-type thermal blanket was attached to one wall, so I had a place to lie down and sleep. One wall had a smoothed mirror finished door, the other wall had a full-sized floor to ceiling mirrored window too, and I knew they were watching. I sat on the floor in silence, there was no sound the small vent holes in the ceiling were fully baffled, I couldn't even hear the clunking of the guards I knew waited outside. At least I wasn't bound and hooded like the first night I spent in the cell.

My silent angry thoughts at the black bull that had raped me were interrupted when the door opened and two Bull-guards tossed a man in- Delvin. The door closed and Delvin looked up at me.

"Lenko! I tho-" he started to say something, but I jumped up and kicked him in the side as hard as I could.

"You fucking rat!" I shouted at the idiot that had gotten me stuck here. I probably would not have been caught if it hadn't been for this stupid oaf. Hell I wouldn't have been raped if it weren't for him.

And I would have beat the hell out of him if the guards didn't come into the room and do it for me. Too bad they thrashed me just as bad. I noticed when they were done that they had been careful not to leave any marks. I sat in a hostile silence looking at that fucker, I sure hoped the black bull had raped him too.

Later- I'm not sure how much later, two guards entered again except this time a big white one followed them in. He didn't look too happy. He walked up to me and pushed me roughly to the floor and tore my shirt off, then my boxer shorts too. He threw them to a guard who caught them, and turned to Delvin who was trying to stay out of this in the corner. The white one grabbed Delvin and tore his clothes off too, and I started to wonder if this was going to be another rape... then the white one stepped back and one of the guards re-entered the room with a hose.

A blast of cold water hit me and the white one tossed Delvin on top of me, and the guard continued to unceremoniously hose us off. The water was cold and biting, the pressure was a bit too high to be comfortable, and then the guard changes a setting and soapy foam and water sprayed us. The water returned shortly and rinsed us and then when it stopped and I sat up just in time to see the door was closing and the guards were gone. It was degrading, I had just been hosed off like a dog. Worse yet I was stuck with this idiot, I thought as I looked over at delvin. The water drained out through the center drain and I could only drip-dry in the thankfully warm room. I pouted in one corner and delven sat silently in the other. Again, an unknown amount of time passed and the guards entered again, this time with hoods.


-Observation deck-

-The Lieutenant-

Everyone that could gather on the observation deck did, the room had been cleared of the lounge furniture and everything except a chair for Jason- next to me. He sat quietly, wrapped with a blanket, the poor boy would need to relive his horror once more. A twenty foot ring was formed with the ship's smooth natural river-stone type ring-stones, and the room was broadcast to the rest of the ship. The commander entered the ring fully nude save his Axe slung on his back and a stern expression.

"As the commander and master of this ship, I call the Ring to court." he announced turning about once.

The room quieted, and I had no doubt the whole ship quieted. All the bulls that could fit in the room pressed close to the ring, with only an unspoken two foot space between them and the ring-stones.

"I assembled my court to judge and seal that accusation of Unacceptable Abduction, Permanent Injury, and Unacceptable Rape." the commander said formally.

"Bring in the prisoners!" he shouted, and a path was made for the two humans to be brought in.

Two guards roughly brought in the two humans and tossed them to the floor of the ring. The two men got to their feet, both were nude though only one was shy- Delvin human, the other was still defiant.

"Jason, enter the ring." the commander said empathetically as he and everyone in the room turned towards Jason.

"Come on Jason" I said encouragingly as I took his blanket. The boy stood up nude, and I placed my hands on his shoulders and walked with him in to the ring. I removed my jumpsuit and tossed it out of the ring once we were several feet in.

"I represent myself and the additional wronged parties in this matter." I announced coldly. It was no mere formality, Jason was my friend and so much more- when those humans hurt him, they hurt me.

"Very well." the commander said nodding to me. Then turning back to the rest of the ring he asked:

"Is there any other party that does not trust the Lieutenant to stand for them in the ring?" he asked.

Many stern eyes looked at me; the subtle under tone was approval and encouragement.

The room was stone silent.

"Very well." the commander said.

"The Accuser is Jason of Conserve, the Accused are the humans Lenko and Delvin of Hub-13. I stand with the Accuser. Any who stand with the Accuser should state so now." the commander said.

The room, and doubtless the ship, thundered with the roars, shouts, hoof-stomping, and clamor of many Tau.

"Very well. Should any stand with the Accused they should state now." he asked looking around at the crew.

The room was silent, one would be hard pressed to hear a breath.

"Very well. The Accuser will be heard- Accuser, face the Accused." he said and stepped back some, and indicated the center of the circle. I guided Jason to the center and stood behind him. I don't think any one there thought it was disgraceful for Jason to keep his head low and look at the floor. His rapists were feet in front of him, facing him. The Delvin-Human looked horrified, the Lenko Human looked concerned but angry.

"I wish to speak for Jason." I stated looking at the commander.

"You may." the Commander said. I nodded respectfully.

"I wish to accuse the Accused, on behalf of the Accuser, of Unacceptable Abduction, Permanent Injury, and Unacceptable Rape. And on behalf of myself and the parties I represent, I wish to accuse the Accused of Wrong-doing, Ill-intent, and Harm to one under protection." I stated looking right into the eyes of Lenko-Human.

"Very well, my court accepts the accusations." the commander officiated.

"The Accused will be heard. Accused -Human-Lenko, state whether you have perpetrated any of the accused crimes.

"This isn't a court, so yah- I fucked your boy-toy." Lenko stated proudly. What a fool.

"And you, Accused -Human-Delvin?" the commander said. I doubt any others noticed, But I could hear in the tone of his voice that he was restraining himself.

"I-I...I Didn't mean to!" he said falling to his knees." I swear, I'm sorry!" many a head shook and a murmur ran through the crowd.

What a pitiful display- shameful- And I believed him.

"Very well. Both the Accused accept the accusations, The Proving will not be necessary." the commander said.

"I declare the Accused guilty of Unacceptable Abduction, of Permanent Injury, of Unacceptable Rape, of Wrong doing, ill-intent, and Harm to one under protection.

"Guilty-Human- Lenko, you may fight the Accuser for redemption, beg the Accuser for forgiveness, or accept the punishment." the commander said calmly, though barely holding in his contempt for the Lenko-Human.

"Fuck you!" Lenko shouted and decided for a most foolish choice, and attempted to assault the commander. The commander easily tossed him to the ground.

"Guilty-Human- Lenko, you dishonor yourself, even in your choice to fight for redemption." the commander said as he stepped backwards to the edge of the ring. A guard grabbed both of Delvin's arms and pulled him from the ring, and one of my med techs guided Jason from the ring.

"Domination wins, fight when ready." the commander announced.

Lenko paced the edge of the ring, knowing himself to be unable to win a fight with me.

"Guilty-Human- Lenko, your loss brings you shame, and my penis." I said as I paced for a moment too. why bother? I thought. so I rushed him pulled him down to the ground and twisted his arm behind his back while using my thighs to captivate his, I then performed a mount position over the struggling Lenko, and started to rub my sheath on the humans rear. The unwanted sexual attention was apparently a cause for alarm, and Lenko-Human started to struggle violently and shout every crude word in the book.

"Get the fuck off me you sick fuck!" the human shouted in desperation.

"You hurt someone I love." I shouted back, my hard on finally rising to the occasion- this was the commander's pleasure, not mine. But Lenko deserved it. I would do it for Jason.

My cock pressed the man's hole, and the head popped in easily, the human definitely wasn't virgin any more. Good. I humped him for bit until I started to feel sick, I didn't want that human to touch me, I felt unclean for having touched him, and worse yet mounted him. I tossed him aside, he was crying but red with anger.

I stood and took a towel to clean myself with, and the commander motioned the guards to bind lenko's hands and feet. I brought Jason back in to the ring, and the proceedings continued.

"Guilty-Human- Delvin, you may fight the Accuser for redemption, beg the Accuser for forgiveness, or accept the punishment." the Commander said once again.

Delvin was obviously over his head in this, and he crawled forward and begged at Jason's feet.

"Please, I'm really sorry, please don't hurt me! Look I didn't plan this, it was Him-" he pointed to Lenko.

The commander stopped him with one hand upraised.

"Silence. I said beg, not babble." he said coldly. "Does the Accuser feel merciful to the Guilty-Human- Delvin?"

I looked at Jason, he squeezed my hand.

"I don't think he's that bad." he whispered to me.

"We feel mildly merciful to Guilty-Human- Delvin. He is a coward and a fool, but he has asked for mercy." I said truthfully. Delvin did not deserve the full brunt of the punishments as Lenko-human did.

"We ask that he is cleared of all but Unacceptable Abduction and Unacceptable Rape." I said, that would be fitting I think.

"Very well. Guilty-Human- Lenko- you will be punished for all the accused crimes. The punishment will be taken from the old codes, as the code in mind is identical to the oldest human laws. The law states an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; meaning I will inflict upon Lenko-Human the same things he inflicted upon our Jason. He will be kept prisoner for the same amount of time Jason was, he will have the nanites of his own design administered to him anally and orally, and he will be tied down and raped." he announced.

Then he turned and stepped up to Lenko:

"You have been insolent and failed to redeem yourself, so your punishments will be as severe as they can be made."

Guilty-Human- Delvin, you will be punished only for Unacceptable Abduction and Unacceptable Rape. and in correlation with my punishments for Guilty-Human- Lenko, you will be held prisoner for the same amount of time Jason was, and you will be tied down and raped- though mercy and restraint will be used.

"Are there any that do not accept or abide by my rulings?" the commander asked.

Again the room was quiet, and many tau had pleased smiles on their snouts.

"Very well. I declare My ruling sealed. Guards take the Guilty to the medical Bay." The Commander ordered. "I end this court." and with that the proceedings closed. The commander picked up the first stone and the rest were then removed and placed back in the Stone holding casket.

I watched the humans being taken away, and I knew what was next. It would be my part of the punishment. I ordered a tech to take Jason to the ships lounge, he needed not to see this.


-Med bay-

-The Lieutenant-

Delvin-Human was kneeling under one guard with his hands cuffed behind his back, I could deal with him any time. It was Lenko-Human that was on my mind, I needed to prep him for the nano-surgery. I ordered him strapped to the table, face down, and a tray was brought with the two nanite-filled tubes. I carefully placed the tray at the head of the bay, to ensure Lenko could see the tubes, his tubes, the same type he used on Jason, and supposedly many other boys- boys who didn't survive. I hoped Lenko survived, and I would do my best to make sure he did. Lenko struggled in the straps, unable to stop the impending horror.

"Well should I taze him first?" I joked, and the orderlies and guards laughed with me.

"I suppose not. But you did give them a drip of hazine." I poked his arm with the needle and let the bag of hazine drip in to him, it would take an hour to fully set in, but he would still be alert for about twenty to thirty minutes. I felt it was best he see what I was doing to him, and that I start now so he could feel the invasion of nanites. This was for the families of the boys that didn't survive his operations, I thought as I placed the glass tube in front of his mouth, the nanites moved about inside like a steely gray liquid. The orderly held his head still and forced his jaw open with a special spreader. I placed a mouthpiece on the tube, and put it in to his mouth, and the orderly held his jaw shut over it. I moved to his rear, and rather crudely forced the other tube in to his puffy red anus.

"That's for the pain those boys felt, when you did this to them." I said to him.

An orderly took charge of the vial of nanites in his rear, and I moved back to his face. I wanted to see his expression when they were injected.

We waited for the commander, who arrived shortly- now dressed in his regular uniform, he took a place by my side.

"Are you ready?" he asked me.


-Lenko-

I was strapped down and couldn't move, A big tube of Gray nanites forced in to the opening of my mouth and butt, I pulled and wriggled, but the bulls in the white jumpsuits held me down tight. The Black bull was dressed now and standing over me with his arms crossed next to him the white one looked at me and said:

"We are ready to start." he said.

His eyes were blue and they cut in to me right now.

"Commence the punishment Lieutenant." the black one said.

"Start the procedure." the white one said with a nod to the techs and orderlies around me.

I looked intently at the tube in front of my face, the mouthpiece was sticking between my teeth, and the nozzle was in my anus, all he had to do was press the release button. I saw the gray liquid sloshing inside the tube I knew what it did- I made the design parameters...I tried to shout one last time, and one of the bulls held up the activator in front of me, and pressed the button. I tried to scream, but couldn't. I felt the splash of warm and metallic tasting nanites as the surged in to my mouth, and worse yet the hot splatter inside my anus that slowly, yet all too quickly worked its way up my lower intestinal track. I felt dizzy, and sick, I...I Blacked out.


-Officers lounge-

-Jason-

I had returned to the officer's lounge, and it wasn't long before I was invited to sit next to a few of the officers and watch them play cards. I watched because I didn't really want to play. And I had to sit on a big pillow because the card table was still too high for me to sit at comfortably.

What the Lieutenant had said to me before was true; I needed to get through this before I could be re-integrated.

I sat watching the game disinterestedly for a while, when a deep voice interrupted.

"Would you walk with me Jason?"

"Sure." I said getting up. We walked out of the lounge and down the halls, it seemed like we were heading towards the bow, and there was something on the Lieutenant's mind.

"Well, I realized something in your absence; I realized your importance to me, and with you gone I felt very empty." he said as we walked.

"I don't know what to say." I said, uncertain.

"You don't have to say anything, just listen." he said as we ducked in to the bow torpedo room.

"On my world, you only reveal part of your name to most people you meet. Many parts of the name are private- intimate." He said stopping at a railing looking over the automated machines that loaded the tubes.

"I felt bad for not having ever shared my name with you, and I wanted to do that." he said turning to me.

"Wow, I guess that's an honor."

"Yes it is." There was a moment of silence where time seemed to stand still.

"I am Lieutenant of the Sky-Force Uurdaabadoho, Ahdurri- Uuran, Hurerauu Clear Skys of Night, son of Verrus Storm's-Thunder, of Clan Cloud-Grasp, of planet Hal-Tan-5, and I care deeply for you Jason." He said, then grasped my face with both hands and kissed me full on, tongue and all.

I leaned back over the railing with surprise at his unusual sign of affection.

"I think I love you." he said after he broke lips. "-and I want to invite you in to my bed."

"Before you say anything, I know that humans have a very different view on sleeping arrangements than Tau, but let me make it clear that my offer is that of a friend, and it doesn't necessarily mean sex. Friends sleep in the same bed together because they trust each other. I want to give you that trust, and I give you my word that I will not exploit you in any way if you take up my offer." he said explaining himself.

"I...I don't know what to say, what I feel." I said truthfully feeling confused.

"Don't say anything about it, just feel it, and think it over." he said as he headed towards the door.

"Wait! What am I suppose to call you?" I asked.

"Oh my, I realize I have perplexed you in many ways." the Lieutenant said with a laugh. "Well let's talk about it." and so we milled about the ship discussing the naming conventions used by the Lieutenant's people, and it got more complex, as the systems varied slightly depending on the clan and colony one came from.

So apparently, it works like this: Lieutenant of the Sky-Force is his rank and branch of Tau Military- basically his title. Uurdaabadoho means 'strong force to be reckoned with', and is his given adolescent name, given by his father when he ascended from puberty and became an adolescent.

Ahdurri is his calf name given by the mother at birth, and it's sometimes used as nickname or as a pet name between lovers, though using it at the wrong time would be insulting.

_Uuran_means 'large stone that water must flow around' and it's his chosen name that he took as a young bull. To him it means he is stead fast, strong and stable.

HurerauuClear skys of night is his attribute name given by the Medicine-Bull when he is undergoing rites of passage.Hurerauu means 'Spirit of ' (he has the spirit of) Clear skys of night meaning he is clearheaded, calm, and cool.

Son of Verrus Storm's-Thunder is his father's name, added as an honor to his father, though some don't if the father acted shamefully, and instead one might adopt another Bull's name, honoring some one that helped them.

_of Clan Cloud-Grasp, of planet Hal-tan-5 _names his Clan and the planet he was born on, (or in some cases, the planet one grows up on.)

Before I couldn't even pronounce his name, and now that I knew it in its entirety I was surprised, its length and complexity was a bit much for normal first middle last names used on most human worlds. Now I know why he just let me call him Lieutenant all this time! In addition, the protocol for using the names was equally complex, some names shouldn't be used at this or that time, but at X time... I really wished I was plugged in right then, and then it would likely make sense.

I learned a lot from him on our walk, but what I really got from out talk that day was that he cared- and that's what counted.


-The Commander's Quarters-

-Lenko-

I came to lying on a rug, my face pressed in to the weave. I tried to move but everything hurt, so I sat still instead, and looked around.

Those fuckers had made it work, we had a 90+ percent failure rate and the one gods damned time I wanted the procedure to fail it didn't. I wished I were dead right now. Perhaps once that sadistic black fucker let us go I could find a way to undo this humiliating modification.

The Big black bull had brought me to his quarters once I came around the first time, and I was still a bit hazy, but it seemed fine to him, he was willing to wait. I noticed that rat Delvin was tied up and looking horrified in one corner. Served him right, for ratting me out.

"Well, looks like you're almost ready to join us in our fun, but take your time, I'm in no hurry." the Black-one said.

"F-Fuck..you." I said painfully but defiantly.

"No, No, it's the other way around, Fuck you." he said mirthfully.


-The Commander-

The operation had proven successful with the Lieutenant's close observation and attentions, and the Lenko-Human was now as he had made Jason, and I planned on fully using every capability that had been built in to this Lenko-Human. He was still acting foolish, though I chalked that up to being out of it on hazine for two and a half weeks. It was ok, it would be more fun this way. Delvin-Human had watched me set up our little play area, and even been so kind as to help me test the setup some. I looked over at him and the haunted and frightened look in his eyes, I was just about done with him, and it was Lenko-Human I needed to focus on now. The bedroom had been fixed up for our pleasure, I made a nice little setup with ropes, spreader bars and handcuffs that would be a lot of fun for us all. For good measure, I also brought the breeding bench out and bolted it in place.

"Take your time bitch, Rest, because we are going to have a very long session in the bedroom once you're ready." I said with a grin, knowing how it frightened him. Like a small dog, he tried to bark some, but it was laughable.

"Y-You're the bitch." he retorted weakly.

" Ho ho ho, your such an amusing little toy. That weak remark just got you an hour on the breeding stand." I said.

Already I was thinking about how I would breed him until he acknowledged he was a bitch. The fun we would have together. I looked over at Delvin-Human, he could play too.

"Delvin-Human, are you a good boy?" I asked him.

"Uh, yes sir?" he replied uncertainly.

"Good. So you're a good boy, come over here. Sit." I pointed at my hooves.

The Human with his hands cuffed behind him, and already nude, moved cautiously to my hooves, and he kneeled, frightened of what may happen.

"Turn around, face your friend." I said, and once he did so I stroked his back and neck, like one might a pet.

"Well now, see, being a good boy is not so bad now is it?" I asked him.

"No sir." he said as he shook under my touch, in both fear and sensuality.

I liked the Delvin-Human, he already knew it was a bad idea to displease me.

The Lenko-Human shot daggers at both of us, he would learn not to do that soon.

"Lenko- That name displeases me. I think cunt would be a good upgrade, But you have to earn it."

"You're the cunt- Oahgggh!" He cried out as I jumped up and kicked him in the side.

"You will watch your tongue, cunt. As a matter of fact, Delvin-human, for being a good boy your reward is the use of cunt's mouth for pleasure." I said, horrifying both of them.

"Sir?" Delvin said uncertainly.

"Go on, yes- now. You don't want to displease me by turning down my reward do you? You don't want to be a bad boy like cunt do you?" I said waving him away.

"No sir." Delvin said as he moved awkwardly in front of Lenko, unsure as what to do.

"If you put that in I'll bite it off!" Lenko-Human shouted at Delvin tersely.

Delvin looked at me trying to decide what to do.

"He can't bite you boy, remember the little medical procedure? He's harmless. Go ahead, put it in. Here, I'll help." I said as I sat behind Delvin pressing my bulge against his back, and pressing his crotch to Lenko's face. I reached around and forced my finger easily in to Lenko's resistant mouth, and opened it despite his attempts to bite me. I grabbed Delvin-Human's penis and jerked it a few times until it was hard enough and then pressed it to Lenko's mouth.

"Push." I said tapping Delvin Humans hip. "- Now."

Delvin was a human very afraid of homosexuality, and he shuttered in fear but obeyed with a sob. He started to press in to Lenko-human's mouth, and Lenko tried to bite and shout, but those actions only served to pleasure Delvin, who only got harder and only bucked more because of it.

"Good Boy, Good Boy." I said softly as I stroked Delvin-Human's sides.

Delvin pushed and pushed, reaching a crescendo and moaning loudly as he came in Lenko's mouth.

"Well, you're a good Boy." I said to Delvin and let him rest some as I pet him lightly.

"I reached over and grabbed Lenko's jaw and held it tight. "Swallow."

He only looked at me crossly.

So I pinched his nose shut, and he squirmed and gagged for air, and then unwillingly swallowed the seed Delvin was moaning from the actions and already getting hard again.

"Come boys, we will play more in the baths." I said as i stood and Delvin reluctantly slid from Lenko's mouth. I grabbed Lenko by his foot and dragged him in to my bath chamber, and pulled him in

to the river-stone shower and bath area. Hoisting him up by his arms, I tied a strap to his handcuffs and lifted them over his head, and turned him around to face the wall.

Grabbing a bottle of lube from an alcove I tossed it to Delvin.

"Fuck him." I said coldly.

He looked at me dumbfounded.

"Or if you would like he can fuck you."

"No sir, I'll do it." the shaken human said.

He approached the squirming ass of his former friend and poured oil on it and his cock, and then he looked back at me one more time, looking quite uncertain of himself, and so I waved him on.

He stepped up. "Sorry Lenko." he said as he placed his cock on Lenko's ass, and stroked it until it was hard. "It's you or me." And with that he pushed in.

Lenko moaned and shouted at his renewed virginity being taken by the man, and I watched with great pleasure as the humans fucked. After a few minutes I decided it was time for me to step in, and so without warning I stepped up and penetrated Delvin's tight ass. I forced as much of my oiled cock in to him as I could in the surprise attack, and railed him and Lenko at the same time. My hips pounded the human Delvin, and forced him in to Lenko, and the moans and shouts from the two men were a pleasure in their own. I grabbed Delvin's hands and strapped them together behind his back as to render him helpless when I was through with him.

We fucked like that for a bit, but I made Delvin-human come with my thrusts combined with Lenko's tight ass, so I pulled out and let him drop to his knees. Then I headed to my real target, the still tight and by Tau standards virgin ass of Lenko-Human.

I stepped a bit closer and grabbed it roughly, pulling and squeezing the cheeks, I pressed my wet cock up to the little star and pushed as hard as I could- I wanted this to hurt him, I wanted him to scream- and he did. He lost his virginity to my rough fucking as I bucked on that smooth tight little ass. I wanted Lenko-Human to never feel the same about himself, to never be a virgin or even think he's a top again. No one fucks with my pets. Period.

I plowed that boy like he deserved, I slid out all but an inch then rammed it all home again, and pulled his worthless ass on to my dick. I fucked him with the most animalistic fury I could, and he screamed in agonizing pleasure. I groped him and found his little prick hard as a rock and without stopping, reached down and pulled Delvin human up by the hair and pressed his face in the Lenko's crotch.

"Suck him!" I roared at the human loudly enough that the human reacted quickly out of fear and suckled Lenko's cock. I felt close to coming and I redoubled my efforts and speed railing the human as fast as I could until I roared and fired my seed in to him. I pressed in as hard and deep as I could and fired waves of thick seed in to my bitch. I pulled out and gave his soft ass a slap so hard that it left a red hand mark.

"Cunt." I said huffing from the exertion, and I pushed Delvin off a still unpleased and rock hard Lenko-Human.

"Cunts don't get pleasure unless they beg for it." I said.


-Aboard the Assault transport-

-Delvin-

Lenko and I kneeled on the cold steel floor of the transport as it shuttered and rumbled down through some atmosphere. We were naked with our wrists tied with plastic strips behind our backs, and we couldn't see anything with the black sacks covering our heads; but I knew they were going to get rid of us. How I wasn't sure- would that turn us in to the security? Would they execute us? The craft shook as it descended and I fell over when we landed abruptly. Air temperature shifted as the back hatch opened and the guards grabbed us roughly by the arms and tossed us to the ground. The hoods came off and the black bull was standing over us. We were in a large open space and it was dark of night all around. The blindingly bright lights of the transport showed in my face and made it hard to see.

"Do you want to go free?" he said in his booming voice, he was staring directly at me.

"Yes sir." I said shakily and quickly looked down and away.

"Fine." he said as he unbuttoned his fly and pulled out his cock. A guard walked up behind me and removed the bindings from my wrists.

I thought I was going to have to suck it, but then he started to piss- in my face.

I coughed and sputtered, and recoiled some falling back to the sandy dark soil as the bull pissed on me I tried to blink the potent fluid out of my eyes and when I was able to open them again the transport was lifting off and the hatch was closing, and the dust from its wash filled the air. The last thing I saw before the hatch closed was face of the black bull smiling at me. I got back to my knees and looked over at Lenko.

"Lenko?" I said turning about- he wasn't there.

"Lenko?" I shouted this time, my voice echoing the vast, dark, and empty strip mine.

I looked to the ground where he had been, and it was smooth and untouched- nothing had disturbed the sand there. He had been right there! I saw him!

"What?" I asked myself in confusion.


-The Commander-

As we returned to my ship, I smiled. The crew hadn't noticed either. If they did I knew they would hold their tongues any way. The Holograph of Lenko-Human had been quite convincing, and right about now the Delvin Human would realize that he was alone. Taking a seat, I thought of the legal ramifications that could occur if I was found to be in possession of a human slave. Nothing I couldn't handle. Moreover, with the human so secretly kept, it wouldn't come to that.
