#39 of Chakat ThornBrier

The fifth Long Range Spacial Interlink experiment goes off with little difficulty and some fun. This is the first in the series of LRSI experiment stories.


"Warp field stable, Shir." Commander Brenna's calm voice called across the comm. She never liked giving up control of her engine room to others, especially for such unproven uses like this crazy Chakat's experiments. The fact that shi knew it probably infuriated the Commander's Shetlar pride and honor, but one couldn't tell to look at her, which was the point.

The scientist nodded in acknowledgment at the woman's face on the display screen, hir ears constantly swiveling around to pick up every little noise. None of the rest of the crew could see it, but shi was looking at several sensor readings, simulations, and other calculations floating between hir and the monitor's own displays. Shi lay upon a hoverlift using each of hir four arms and hir paw-hands to type at the computer terminal or hir neural interface. Even with hir spinal computer shi could only track so many things at once and shi was relying upon Brenna and her crew to ensure everything on their side was set up correctly.

"Ok, looks like my crew is almost set up on our side," shi said. Shi didn't exactly sound confident in hir statement. This experiment would set a new distance milestone, if it worked, and it was only the second time they would be attempting it while maintaining the warp bubble around the engineering sections only. Given the duration of the experiment they made sure to clear all quarters within the field and set them up for the crew that would be affected.

With hir long ringed tail shi stopped a passing engineer. "Uh, Shir, 'm ThornBrier?" He stammered. "Is there something, you need?" He was a strapping young caitian with a reputation of being helpful. The dirty brown uniform didn't do him justice as it clashed with his black and white patterning. He was a competent junior engineer, but it was easy to understand why he hadn't quite made it into the StarFleet despite his multiple attempts.

"Yes J'Gursh," shi started, sounding somewhat distracted. "Take a 'corder, I want you to scan for differences in the matter of the hull of the ship on each side of the warp field. Ship sensors are too busy doing other things and I need this 'small-scale' detailed. Pick three spots to scan that have a variety of materials, even wiring." He nodded, taking his tricorder from his his hip and opening it as he walked away.

Thorn got the woman's attention on the other side of the screen as she passed the monitor. "Commander Brenna, all set here. If you would like to take lead..." Brenna's pride wouldn't let her show it, but Thorn knew shi was pushing the shet's patience as it was, perhaps letting her feel in control of her own ship for a while would help her simmer down before arguments broke out again. Thorn's tail swished excitedly below hir platform as it levitated to the next terminal over to continue hir work. Shi clicked a device on hir upper left arm causing it to display a digital number two.

Brenna's voice came loud and clear across both ships speakers, "Ok crews, make sure your identifiers are on and prepare for subspace interlink. Data relays, stable. Cycling up the anti-matter conversion ratio. Initiate deflector dish syphons. Star drain is stable, initiating intermix. Activate interlink beacons in, three, two, one, mark. Spacial interlink forming. Detecting compression wave inbound. Bridge crews, adjust inertial dampeners to compensate."

The ships rocked mildly as the waves hit, but everyone was expecting the bumpy ride this time. Thorn muted hir mic and called out, "J'Gursh, how's the readings?"

Standing next to hir he looked quite confused, "Shir? Did you need me to take readings?"

Shi turned hir upper body to face him, "Oh, not you. J'Gurshtwo, come here and show your past self what you're working on."

Hearing a throat being cleared shi turned, seeing another of hir self floating on another platform. Behind hir J'Gursh spoke up. "Uh, Shirs, J'Gurshthree here, I'll take care of that. Come on J'Gurshone, over here." His past and future met to discuss their duties just as Brenna finished up her checklist.

"Interlink stabilizing, and we have our connection."

The ThornBrier's looked over their readings to be sure it was all correct statistically before looking over to the testing chamber itself. They both grinned as they saw their future self standing with hir hands and arms pressed up against the transparisteel wall admiring the glowing blue ring floating vertically within. Through the ring they could see Brennatwo and Brennathree standing on the other side of the chamber with their four arms folded on their ship over eight hundred light years away.

Seeing that the first phase of the experiment was an unequivocal success the past Thorn clicked hir armband to show a one before they each stood from their platforms and embraced one another. "Good to see me again, Thorntwo," Thornone began. "I was just getting worried this wasn't going to work. What is J'Gursh scanning?"

Thorntwo chuckled, "Well, that gives me a better idea of how far apart we are. If your from between worried and thinking up scanning the walls on each side of the field then I can pinpoint the transfer to within a two second window.

One of the Brennas spoke up on the comms. "Hey, enough of the self love girls, lets get on with it. Don't you have more experiments to run? We've only got 17 hours or so before it destabilizes, right?"

Unmuting hir feed Thorntwo responded, "Yes, but the first battery of tests is all waveguide and frequency tests. Once those are done we will start the teleportation tests again before moving on to physical transfer. Thornthree is moving the receivers into place on our side at the moment. Shi will signal you when to start the first battery."

Brennatwo rolled her eyes as if in boredom, "Again? We've already done all that four times now."

"Yes, but we need to ensure none of the portal's readings have changed with the increased range, and we still need to identify what is creating these temporal compression waves that cause us to meet our past and future selves. Oh, looks like Three is ready for you to start the signal program."

Brennatwo looked back at her chamber to see herself sigh before speaking up, her lower arms on her waist, the upper pair folded sternly across her chest. "Hey, Brentwo, shi's waving hir arms. I think shi wants us to start the damn test program." She looked back at the two chakat heads watching her on the screen, mild annoyance creeping across her face before shutting it off. It was one of those rare times when Thorn's empathy was working properly and shi could feel the women's rage at the situation across the link.

Thornone observed the initial readings of the testing at hir terminal as Thornthree did the same from the receiving station. It wasn't long before Three piped up, "Well, it's all going as expected. Lets get some rest. Don't know about you two but I'd rather have us all working at peak efficiency for the physical transfer analysis."

The Thorns walked into their temporary quarters just starboard of Engineering. It wasn't as elaborate as their normal quarters in the port arm of the ship, and looking to the large bed slab they all immediately missed their pillow pit below its curved window to the stars above. Also acutely lacking were the decorations in these stark brown and gray quarters. ThornOne was first to crawl out experimentally onto the mat as Two looked on and Three ran hir fingers across the empty desk.

"We'll have to get some PADDs in here for later, until then I guess its just our implants." Three said contemplatively. "But we will have plenty of time for work later." ThornTwo could feel Three's emotions shifting quickly to the sensual as shi walked toward hir, reaching out and unfastening Two's vest.

ThornTwo allowed Three to remove hir vest, slipping it down hir arms as Three caressed hir neck. "Mmm, Three, you're always so eager to get us into bed. If I didn't know you better I would think you were just a horndog, not caring for us at all." Of course, ThornTwo knew hirself all too well, and shi knew that Three knew it too.

ThornThree confirmed hir knowledge seductively caressing hir shoulders and cheeks, "I know you want this as much as I do. We haven't been able to be together for over six months, love."

This threw up a red flag in Two's mind causing hir to pause, holding Three's arms in place as One looked on from the bed, an equally confused look on hir face. "Um, Three, unless you came from further ahead than normal... we did this experiment three months ago."

Three sighed, dropping hir hands to Two's waist and breasts. "I mean together like this. Last time we never got any time to ourselves. Our quarters outside the warp field, no available quarters within, we spent the entire seventeen hours working working working, now I want to play together."

One spoke up from the bed, "Well, it's not like we haven't had sex in all this time. There was Blizzy when shi showed off hir new outfit design, before we became denmates. That nice Wolf denmate of hirs and Auroras."

Three crawled onto the bed interrupting hir past self, "Yeah, Keda was fun, and when are we going to get to fuck Aurora?"

ThornTwo looked on aghast at hir future self's choice of words. "What are you doing talking about our newest Denmate like that?"

Three rolled over revealing hir firm sheath and wet vaginal lips, "Oh, come on, I'm just really horny right now. Come to bed love, we don't have much time before we are parted for another three months, and who knows if we'll feel like fucking when our twins are four months along."

"If necessary we can always use portal rings," Two added, realizing another thing they had missed in their preparations for this experiment. "Speaking of which, next time, we need to establish a portal array here in the room, our vest pockets are going to be useless this time since the array is beyond the warp field." As shi spoke Three was already removing hir own and One's vests as hir member slowly emerged from hir sheath adding the scent of their maleness to the air.

Under it's intoxicating influence Two's mind started to wander, blood being diverted to hir own sheath. "Dildos, add that to the list of things we need in here." Shi reached back under hir tail to feel hir wetness and sniffed hir fingers to enjoy hir own scent of growing need. Shi had read that being pregnant would heighten hir sex drive, but was still surprised by how powerful the effect had been. Looking over to the two lovely striped cougars fondling each other on the bed mat certainly wasn't helping alleviate hir growing desire either.

As Three drank One's milkwater One caressed the back of hir head and neck and waved Two over to join them, "There's still another tap available at the bar, love." Under normal circumstances the feelings they were emanating would have been called severely narcissistic, but ThornBrier always loved hir occasions of temporal masturbation. Shi joined in the delicious meal knowing it wouldn't be long before shi too would have the pleasure of being the tap.

They caressed each other lovingly with all their many limbs, stroking, massaging backs, legs, chests, tails, and cocks until finally the last mammary ran dry. The tightened spongy breast flesh now shrunk to large C-cups they decided upon their sleeping arrangement.

Two took up hir place laying behind One as Three lay behind hir, their long hard cocks pressing lightly at the other's nether lips. Two slowly moved forward, slipping into One as they moaned together, burying hir fifteen inches of pink flesh into hir past's quivering body. Once settled shi again had occasion to moan and purr as hir future did the same to hir. With each ripple of One's vaginal walls shi spasmed a little and rippled around Three's member. They lay together, holding one another for a while slowly stroking One's exposed cock.

As their state of arousal rose so did their empathic connection. It became a little hard to focus on each other as they felt the intense emotions of other crew members engaged in similar activities nearby, but eventually ThornTwo decided to start up the engine on this little train of theirs. Pulling back from One shi established a space between the three large enough to enjoy before pounding back in once, forcing Three to withdraw from hir the same distance. Two picked up the pace, pumping into One and then back onto Three, with each stroke hir hard member expanding near the base. Two kept slipping the knot into One as it expanded, slipping on and off of Three's knot with equal pleasure.

Once Two grew nearly too large to pass shi gave the signal and Three pounded into hir hard, forcing each of them to tie into their respective pasts. The swollen flesh holding them tight together they pounded feverishly with the few remaining inches, moaning and growling in the bliss of that special length of shaft past the knot. Three tried to match their pace on One's shaft as best shi could, but Two knew shi would have preferred to have that final member within Three's body rather than hir pawhand.

Eventually the combined emotions of hirselves, hir crew, and the powerful physical stimulation drove hir other the edge. Two joined the others in a unified howl of delight as shi came into One just as shi felt an identical blast of hot semen blow forcefully against hir sealed cervix, an intense and familiar pressure filling hir birth canal and forcing the knot within hir firmly against the backside of hir vaginal muscles. Even against the powerful pressure shi continued to thrust and pump more and more jizz into hir past self, each of them leaking bits of cum with each thrust slightly breaking the knots seal as they pushed it further in.

They lay upon the soiled bed mat, ThornOne playing hir paws through the pool of spooge that gathered around them, most of it hir own, not having anyone to empty into. Locked together the three exhausted kats held each other as they nodded off to sleep. Two knew that by the time they woke they would be loose enough to separate and clean up before returning to their experimentation, the physical tests awaited, but those were concerns for later. Right now, all shi cared about was the two kats shi was sleeping with, even if they were 'just' hirself.

* * *

Pensive, ThornTwo's tail curled up tight against hir black rump, hir ears flattened atop hir head, shi stood in the testing chamber. So far all data from the preceding tests showed this to be within the margin of error for being identical to their previous portals, yet shi couldn't help but feel the grandeur and horror of what shi was about to do. Shi quickly double checked hir sensor harness, shi didn't want to miss anything.

Shi backed up against the chambers clear walls and gave hirselves a thumbs up from each of hir left hands. Hirown voice came over hir neural uplink, "Ok, Two, we are go. Jump." At One's word shi ran toward the blue ring at a ninety degree angle to it's plane and leaped across eight hundred twenty three light years in just shy of two tenths of a second. Shi patted hir body reassuring hirself that shi was whole as hir hearts raced, hir lower chest heaving up and down as shi breathed heavily. The harness reported hir condition to the medical computer which returned a clean bill of health and shi let out the breath shi had been holding in hir speaking lungs.

"Hey, Commander. Smells like you could use a new filter for your air system. Is that mustard in the air?"

"Asskat, their still good for another two months. Only you chakats can smell it and I don't have your kind on my ship that often." Shetlar had no love for chakats, or any empaths for that matter. They hated the idea of their true feelings being so exposed. Being forced to work with two shets who knew exactly what she was feeling must have been torturous to each of the Brennas' pride. Intentionally cursing over an open comm was a major sign of her facade cracking under the pressure and ThornTwo regretted having made the remark.

A few more hours passed as various crew members and their duplicates traveled back and forth between the ships with a wide variety of materials, compounds, and compositions to test their reactions. A few minor mistakes occurred, some typos, missing samples, and one crew member tripped through the portal and cut his shoe on its molecular edge, but nothing dangerous or serious. Eventually the energy fluctuation indicating it was all coming to an end showed up at precisely seventeen hours two minutes and three point two one seconds. Right on schedule. They had at least six, but less than thirteen minutes before it would be gone.

For most of the engineering crew the various duplicates that were still on speaking terms wished each other well in their own time streams. Thorn ensured that each of hir was carrying all the information collected from the experiments in the hopes that one of their timelines would be successful eventually. Everyone returned to their proper ships just before their past selves vanished. A few seconds later the portal was gone and they knew it wasn't long before their future selves would be gone too. Time and space restabilized with a hard shake, but it was softened by the intensified inertial dampers.

ThornBrier looked once more at the test chamber already longing for the next time shi would be able to meet up with hirselves again.
