2593-07

"You know," Marc said to Jeff, as Eric stepped on the bridge, "I don't understand why we need a pilot. The right program could handle all the piloting jobs."

"It isn't as satisfying screaming at a screen when there's a screw up," Eric said. "if something goes wrong I want someone to scream at."

"Morning, captain," Jeff said.

Eric nodded to him and finished his third nutrient bar. The screen was showing them approaching the array. he should have been here sooner, but he'd been so tired he'd slept through the bangs and clangs of the undocking. Next time he needed to give himself a day to recuperate from the orgy.

What had woken him was the to-do message that blinked incessantly in his field of vision. He tried to shut it down, but it wouldn't go away. He hated it when he did that to himself, thinking ahead to make sure something got done after a night of fun.

He'd had to wake up fully to see he needed to send Christian the DNA code for his current fur color. It took him a long moment to remember that conversation, after Caleb, right. He'd sent it and then felt the faint vibration which meant the propulsion was on. He'd grabbed a handful of nutrient bars and headed for the bridge.

"Okay, I can see that," Marc said, "but I think it isn't worth the salary you're paying him."

"Morning. How are we doing?" Eric asked, ignoring the monkey's jab at Jeff. These two went at it most time when it was quiet. Which, on this ship meant most of the time.

"Everything's looking good," Jeff answered, "we're about to attach."

"Marc, any complains? claims the array isn't ours?"

"No, sir. All the identifications were in order."

Eric frowned. It wasn't like Vanguard not to try anything.

"Jeff," a voice sounded over the bridge's com. "Come to a full stop." It took Eric a moment to realize it was Robert.

Jeff tapped a few buttons, brought a slider down and the vibrations stopped. His pilot was a tactile man, so he had set the controls to respond to his touch, instead of just ordering them through his Implant.

"Good," Robert said. "I'm taking over for the coupling."

"Our new cargo master certainly is more hands on," Marc said.

"Considering the mess Yonto caused by being hands off," Jeff replied, keeping an eye on the readouts. "I'd say that's a good thing."

Eric looked at the screens his implant was showing him. one was a view from the station, the ship closing in on the array. another was the view of the coupling unit on the array getting ever closer.

'Anything happening Uncle?' Eric, he sent in text form.

'No. The systems are clear. For whatever reasons, Vanguard is leaving you alone right now.' Uncle

Eric stared at the text for a moment before dismissing it. It wasn't the comfort the words sounded like.

The coupling unit stopped moving, and the section of the boards to Jeff's right lit up.

"Are we connected?" Marc asked.

Eric connected to the new board and checked what it said. "We are," he confirmed. He'd learned enough about that board to see that.

"I didn't know it was possible to connect silently," the monkey said.

"I guess it is if you know what you're doing," Jeff commented.

"Robert," Eric said, "How is it looking?"

"The connection is solid, captain. I've unlocked the hatch and I'll do a visual inspection from the array's side."

"I'll let Xavier know he can deploy one of the pods to do a visual check of the outside. How long do you need to do your inspection?"

"It'll take me an hour to make sure the connection is solid, but I'd like to do a full walk through the Array before we get going."

"Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of time. I can give you three hours, after that we need to clear the space for another array."

"Okay. I'll check the vital stuff. Can we make sure I have a full eight-hour next time? If something's wrong, once we're a few thousand kilometers from the station isn't the time to discover it."

"I'll plan accordingly for the next one."

"Thanks captain."

"Marc, keep an ear out for anything odd. This is too easy."

"You're just being paranoid."

"I hope so. Just watch for any Vanguard communication."

He left them and went to find Xavier, finding him as the zebra was leaving his room.

"Xavier," Eric called, and the zebra startled. "We're connected to the array. I need you do a visual inspection."

Xavier looked at him and away. "Sure. I'll get right on that."

Eric grabbed his arm before he walked away. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," he replied, too quickly for Eric's liking.

He tried to remember last night, Xavier had shown up at the orgy. "You didn't stay last night." he was sure of that.

The zebra shook his head. "I don't mean any offense, but seeing you and your... family, that was a bit much. I don't mind an orgy, but with your relatives?" He shuddered. "And then in the shuttle, with your brother. That was rather offensive."

Eric frowned. Xavier had been there? Well, yes, he had to have been, that's how he'd gotten back to the ship. What had him and Elliot done that he found offensive?

"I know, I know," Xavier continued before Eric would say anything. "I shouldn't let that bother me, it's just sex. I know how you feel about it. I just need a bit of time to process it, okay? We'll be fine, just give me some time."

Eric nodded and let go of him. "Okay. We're here for about three hours. I'll need a report on the state of the array before we leave."

"I'll have it in half the time."

"Don't rush through it. I'd rather you do a thorough job."

"Sure." the zebra grinned. "I'll take a full two hours then."

"Good." Eric turned and headed for the engine control. "How is it?" He asked the wolf.

"It's looking good. The array is fully fueled, and maintenance was done on it less than a week ago."

"I need you to..."

"Run to it and do my own inspection," William said with a smile. "It isn't my first one, captain. I know you want a double check. I'll just wait for our new CM to give the all clear and go do that."

"Sorry. Vanguard hasn't tried anything yet. It's making me nervous."

"It isn't like they've tried to ruin your day every time we were here."

"just enough of them I've started expecting it."

"maybe that's their plan, to turn you into a nervous wreck."

Eric chuckled. "We can hope. I can deal with being a wreck. I can't deal with tempering."

A light on the board switched to green.

"That's the all clear," the wolf said. "I'll get to it."

Eric accompanied him to the hatch, where Brick and Brack already were.

"We're getting started on lunch," Brack said. "Any special request?"

"I want my usual," William said, walking by them.

"A cock up your ass," Brick replied, "Got it. but what do you want to eat?"

"Your ass."

"That's one person dealt with. Captain?"

"You know me, so long as it's real food, I'm happy."

"The captain said you were a good cook," Robert said, reentering the ship, "I like my lunch to be on the light side, but I'd love to see what you can do."

"Sure, I don't mind an audience," Brack replied, "but I have a strict no sex rule while I'm cooking."

"All that cum in the food alters the taste," Brick said.

Robert looked at them, then Eric. "He's serious?"

"Yes, but his sour cum icing is amazing on his apple cake."

"You guys are obsessed," Robert laughed as grabbed his tool belt and went back in the array. "I'll be done before the three hours are up."

"We'll get what we'll need from our pod." Brack said, and they both disappeared in the array. Most of the array was food for the out-system workers. Orr Corp supplied most of it, with Vanguard constantly trying to cut into their market.

Which was why Eric was getting nervous nothing had happened yet. Sabotage was Vanguard's trademark.

He spent the time pacing the ship, looking over the reports as they came, all of them good news. He should go fuck someone, to get his mind on something else, but this was the one time he didn't bother his people, what they did now was too critical. He could always jerk off, or use one of the stimulation program that was gathering dust, but the reason they were was that for a guy who had as much real sex as he did, those programs felt like the fake things they were, even if their manufacturers claimed they were indistinguishable from the real thing.

He entered the gym, as he walked by it. If sex was out of the question for the next few hours he could exhaust himself another way. He set the gravity to ten percent higher than he normally used and Went through an extended version of his regiment.

He was sweaty and sore by the time Robert contacted him. "I'm done with my inspection of the vital systems. Everything's green."

Xavier had sent his report almost an hour before, and he hadn't found anything wrong with the outside structure. "Will, how is the engine?" He called between pants.

"I need another five minutes," the wolf replied, then. "Who are you having sex with? and how come you didn't wait for me?"

"Not sex. Exercise. Working off the stress."

"If it's going to help you calm down, I can always tell you I found tampering and fixed it."

"Don't joke about that. Just finish your inspection and give me the result."

"Will do."

Eric let his arms fall down. Maybe he shouldn't have pushed himself. He slowly caught his breath.

"Everything's good," William said.

Finally, they could get going. "Jeff, get us on our way."

"Yes, captain."

He grabbed a shower, where Xavier joined him. The zebra had been quick to get over his problem, Eric mused.

Once sated and clean, he checked in on the bridge. Marc was still at coms. The position had to be occupied until they were pass Luna's orbit. Then communication could be handled by whoever had the bridge.

That was two hours, and counting the four they'd spent sitting here already, they had to be pent up. Eric knelt between Marc's legs. The monkey was already hard, so the tiger ripped the pants open to release his erection before swallowing it.

The com board had to be manned, the regulations didn't say the person manning it had to focused on them. Eric made sure Marc wasn't able to focus on anything except his cock being sucked. The monkey moaned for the forty minutes Eric sucked him off, edging him close, but not over. Marc was cursing by the time Eric let him reach his orgasm.

The monkey slumped in his seat as Eric swallowed his cum. Once he was certain Marc's balls were empty, he stood and went to Jeff.

"You know I hate it when you do this, right?" the jackal said as the tiger straddled his lap. The pilot's seat was narrow just for this reason.

"No, you hate it when I distract you in the middle of heavy lanes. We're out of it by now. We're almost half way to the Luna orbit, but it's on the opposite side of Earth. There's no one here." Eric ran his hands over Jeff's chest. he had an atmospheric fighter pilot's jacket over a tight mesh shirt. "I know you have to be pent up after all this time here, and hearing Marc moan."

The jackal didn't deny it, his erection was stretching his fighter pilot's pants to a point it had to be painful.

Eric pulled Jeff's hands off the board. "Why don't you touch me, instead of your precious controls?" He placed one hand on his chest, the other on his hard cock. he slowly rocked against the jackal's crotch. "You know you want to fuck me."

Jeff's pants melted away and the cocks rubbed together. "I can't believe you're this horny naturally," the jackal said, grabbing Eric's ass and pulling him forward until his cock was lodged between the tiger's ass cheeks. "I know what your family gatherings are like, and you still want to get fucked."

Eric moaned as he felt the think cock enter him. "Orrs always want sex. it's in our blood."

"Fuck your ass is tight," Jeff growled and he thrust.

"The better to please you with," Eric said before kissing him. Once the tiger had a good rhythm Jeff let go of his ass and his hands rubbed Eric's back and sides, making him shiver in delight. As much as Jeff liked touching, Eric loved being touched.

They broke the kiss and Eric leaned back, keeping his hands on the jackal's shoulder. He gyrated on his crotch, getting the cock to press against his prostate each time he pressed down.

Jeff was looking intently at his white chest as his hands ran through the fur. He pinched Eric's nipples, making him gasp and move faster.

"oh fuck, yeah. Again," Eric moaned. Jeff pinched them and Eric ground himself against the crotch. Then tightened his ass as he came all over the jackal's chest and face.

Jeff licked the cum off his muzzle while Eric caught his breath. The tiger kissed him and started moving again. This time he went slowly, rebuilding his orgasm as he kept the jackal close to his.

After six years as his employer, Eric knew how to read his pilot. The way his eyes closed as he got close, his breath deepened and he'd start grinding his teeth. If he stopped moving right then, Jeff wouldn't cross the threshold.

Of course, after the third time, the jackal tried to take matters into his own hands, thrusting, but Eric moved with him to minimize the cock's motion. After a few thrust Jeff calmed down, and Eric went back to building him up.

He did that until the jackal started cursing. That was the point where Jeff's patience was getting exhausted. Pass that he could get forceful, even violent. And while Eric enjoyed being manhandled at time, the bridge wasn't the place for it. This time when Jeff gritted his teeth, Eric kept going, changing his angle so the jackal's cock pressed against his prostate.

When Jeff screamed, and his cock jumped inside him, Eric coated his chest and muzzle with cum again.

They panted together for a long moment.

"Isn't there a regulation against having sex on the bridge?" Robert asked, standing by the entrance.

"The captain makes the regulations," Jeff said.

"They were pent up," Eric said. "It's my job to see to that." He looked at the bulge in the hyena's pants, he'd gone with the default form fitting gray jumpsuit, and Eric could even make out the partially inflated knot. "Looks like you need some release too."

Robert's long ears reddened. "Probably, but you don't need to bother on my account. Brick sent me to let you know lunch will be ready in an hour."

Marc chuckled.

"What? Robert asked.

"He could have told us that himself though the com." The monkey looked the hyena over and licked his lips. "He sent you because he knew what was happening."

"How did he know that?"

Eric grinned as Robert looked away from him.

"Because the captain sees to his duties," Jeff answered. "Me and Marc have to sit the entire time we're inside the Luna orbit. Sol Gov regulation require a pilot and com officer."

"That's a lot of hours with little to do but get horny."

"isn't it dangerous for you to be distracted?" Robert asked.

"He doesn't come during critical times," Jeff said, "but as soon as we're out of the main lanes, we can count on him to show up and help us relax."

Eric had gotten off Jeff while he talked and went to Robert, who had backed up against the wall. "I told you I see to my crew's needs." The tiger ran a rubbed the hyena's crotch.

Robert squeaked and went on tiptoe. "I wasn't expecting it right now, in front of them."

Eric smiled. "Sol Gov sense of propriety. I don't expect that's going to last long." He let go of the hyena's crotch.

"Probably not pass lunch," Marc said.

"why?" Robert asked, his tone worried.

"For one thing Will's getting fucked."

"During lunch?" Robert eyed Eric.

"Not by me. It'll be Brick or Brack. You heard him say he wanted his usual. That's being fed while bouncing off one of their cocks."

"And by fed, you mean?"

"Food. Cum isn't quite filling enough to replace a meal." Eric thought about it for a moment. "Although, I guess I could probably come up with a DNA sequence that would make cum more nutritious." It might be more complicated than it was worth, but it would be a fun thing to look in to when he was bored.

Robert swallowed. "you said for one thing, what's the other?"

"I'm probably going to end up under the table sucking someone off before the meal's over," Marc said. "Jeff often ends it by fucking one of the mules. Xavier is going to get fucked on the table, probably by the captain." Marc grinned. "If an audience is a turn off for you, you're really not on the right ship."

"I wish you'd warned me about that part," Robert said.

"You saw Brick and Brack in the lounge jerking each other off."

"That was jerking off. I didn't think it meant the whole thing."

Eric patted him on the shoulder. "You'll be fine. you aren't the first Sol Gov citizen to be shocked by how sexual my crew is. They all got used to it."

"I certainly did," Marc said.

"You're Sol Gov?"

"Yep, born in Censorinus. you?"

"Poncelet."

The money whistled. "You're a capital boy." he looked to Eric. "I didn't know you were hiring royalty."

"Royalty?"

"I'm not royalty," Robert sighed. "My family isn't even all that wealthy."

"What's this about?" Eric asked.

"Poncelet is where Sol Gov run things from," Marc said.

"I know that," Eric replied.

"It's also where the high officials live there with their extended families."

The tiger looked from the monkey to the hyena. "Is this going to be a problem?"

Marc shrugged. "Depends, is your family government?" Marc asked Robert.

The hyena let out a bitter laugh. "You're joking, right? My dad is a corporate interface, my mom has a bakery, most of my brothers and sisters are gofers at one corporation or another."

"You never mentioned you had problems with Sol Gov," Eric said. "Is this something I have to worry about?"

Marc shook his head. "No, I'm not wanted or anything, if that's what you mean. And I don't have a problem with them, my family just has a few inquiries that have been ignored for years about my sister. She was arrested a few years ago for spreading anti-government slogans. She hasn't been seen since. Any time someone in my family makes inquiries we're stonewalled with this 'you should be glad she can't influence you anymore' attitude."

Eric frowned. "I didn't know Sol Gov was like that. From all we hear by our people, it's a fair place, if a little repressive."

Marc sighed. "To be fair, she was a bitch. I'm sure she made her situation worse once she was arrested, and I'm not saying she should be freed. I just think we have a right to know what's happening to her."

"You do," Robert said. "I'm no more pro-government than you are or most citizens are, but they're the ones in charge."

"It sounds like there's more unrest there than we thought." Eric sent a message to Uncle about it. Orr Corp wasn't looking to overthrow Sol Gov, but unrest would mean unstable markets, and a possibility that another Corporation was involved. The odds were he already knew about it, he was the one paying close attention to political horizon.

All he got was an acknowledgment of receipt. Uncle knew Eric wasn't interested in politics so he wouldn't bother him with what he found or already knew.

"Not really," Robert said. "Most people aren't affected by government decisions so they just go about their normal day." He shrugged. "I only sound bitter because most of the time when corporate citizens realize I'm from the capital they start treating me different. That's why I didn't volunteer the information."

"The only thing that'll make me treat you different is if you screw things badly," Eric said, "or I don't get to fuck you regularly."

"Sex is kind of important to you, isn't it?" Robert said, which earned a shocked look from Jeff and Marc.

"I thought I'd made that clear in the interview and by having you fuck me right after your medical."

"I didn't think you meant it quite to this level." The hyena indicated Marc and Jeff.

"Now you know. Don't worry about it, you'll get used to it."

"Do I have a choice?"

"Sure, you do," Jeff said sarcastically, "You can stay locked in your room and only come out to do your duties."

"Jeff," Eric warned.

"Come on, boss. I'm tired of Sol Gov guys being hired with the full disclosure and then acting like they didn't know what was coming."

"You're on the bridge, and still on duty."

The jackal looked away. "Sorry captain, but I still stand by it."

"That's fine, but you're going to give him the same respect you do the rest of the crew. He'll get used to it, and until then I don't want to hear you cause him any problems."

"Yes sir."

"Come on," He told Robert. "Let's leave them to their work. I need to shower and fuck you."

* * * * *

Lunch was Oxen in a valentine sauce, one of Brack's specialty. Robert had asked to be impressed, the mule had delivered. Eric enjoyed the thinly sliced meat with the sweet sauce.

He wasn't sure Robert was appreciating the delight, distracted as he was by Will moving up and down on Brick's cock while being fed small pieces of meat.

Jeff started fucking Brack before either was done with their meal. Eric was sure Jeff did it to engender a reaction from the hyena, and when Robert jumped and fell back off his chair, only to be followed Marc from under the table Eric knew the jackal had planned that too.

He thought about scolding the three of them, but Robert's momentary panic gave way to moans under the ministration of the monkey's talented mouth. Eric smiled. Okay, so it worked. Robert was getting used to it.

Marc's yell of surprise at the knot was amusing too.

* * * * *

The hyena walked into the lounge, his clothing melting into the belt. With a grin, he made a bee line for the jackal, straddled him and sat on his cock.

Eric chuckled to himself, thrusting into William's muzzle. Robert had taken a little longer than Eric had expected to become more sexual. with the others, it had been around two weeks. it had taken him close to three. but once he did, he'd made Jeff his target of choice.

"Are you guys putting something in the food?" The hyena asked between moan. "I've never been this horny before."

"Nah," Brick said. "It's all the sex you're getting. It's a muscle. the more you do it the more you want it."

"I don't think that's how it works, bro," Brack said. The two of them were playing billiard. To which the other mule shrugged.

"I'm not complaining, mind you, it's not like I have to stay horny when I am. You guys are the most accommodating bunch I've ever known, but fuck, this can't be normal." Robert wasn't exaggerating, except for Jeff, everyone else walked funny at least once every few days. That knot of his was quite the experience.

The tiger grabbed hold of the wolf's head and shoved his cock deep with a grunt, when unloaded his cum. Eric leaned back in the seat and raised his legs for William. Yeah, he thought as the wolf entered him. Robert was fitting in very well.
