Anthrian Crew - Intro
sci-fi, otter, human,
This a short primer into a story i'm working on. I've already started writing out the next piece. If you've got any feedback for me feel free to let me know what you liked or what might need some work. I want to use this universe in a bunch of follow ups so the more i can polish it and refine the ideas the better.
Ixx waited patiently at the airlock of the old shuttle that had taken him outbound from HQ. His heart beating a little faster than it might normally. He was at the midway point in his journey, now preparing to board the Anthrian ship that would take him to his new duty station. Technically his new duties started aboard the ship he was waiting to enter, but it was only as an apprentice. His only real duties would be to familiarize himself with Anthrian culture and make sure he was ready to co-habitate with the diverse race.
He finally heard the heavy hiss that meant an airlock was cycling. Reaching down and grabbing his gear bag, he prepared to finally meet his mentor. A moment later though, he was confused as another human stepped through to meet him. "Hello there! You must be Ixx, my name is Barn. It's short for Barnabas." Ixx tried to keep a straight face while he shook Barns hand but, apparently did a poor job. "yes, yes an Anthrian diplomat named Barn don't go thinking you're clever" remarked Barn dryly. "Sorry sir, I wasn't trying to offend" replied Ixx, but Barn waved him off. "Its fine, and don't call me sir. We have a lot of rules and etiquette to go over so we might as well start now. Just call me Barn. Anthrians have a rank system but it's enforced in.....non-standard ways as I'm sure you already know."
With Barns help Ixx dragged his gear bag through the metal portal onto the ship. He first noticed that the lights were a little dimmer, and the floors were covered in a kind of resin that felt rubbery under his boots instead of the typical steel deck-plates you might find in a human ship. "So this is an Anthrian ship? Are you the only crew?" Barn answered as they walked through a short corridor, "No, the pilot is Ottine. Similar looking to an Earth otter if you don't remember the terminology. I'm here as your intermediary instructor. We've had some issues with new volunteers dropping out because of what basically boils down to culture shock. Lots of people want to live and work in a culture that's sex positive, but far fewer are able to deal with the blurred consent and dominance hierarchy that come along with it."
"Ah, here's your bunkroom. Make yourself comfortable and meet me in the common room when you're done." Barn pointed out a small console near the doorway. "These are the room controls, it hooks into the ships AI. Just punch the query button here and ask the computer where the common room is. You can also ask it any general question and it'll answer if it can. I've got to go check in on Uri. Don't wander off once you get to the common room. We have some things to go over before I give you free run of the ship." With that Barn walked out and Ixx couldn't help but sneak a look. Barnabas was built like weight-lifter. He stood just over six feet and If Ixx was to guess, weighed around a hundred kilo. Not an ounce of it looked like fat. He had brown hair and wore a Human Federation Jumpsuit in the traditional khaki of an officer. One thing he noticed was different however was that he wasn't wearing any shoes. The auto-door shut noiselessly after a few seconds cutting his appraising glance short.
Ixx began to unpack his things. His mind occupied with things to come. He took a look around his meager bunkroom. In reality it looked more like a metal closet with a bed and desk that could fold out, but not at the same time. At any rate it was still more room than many Federation ships might give you and this was only a shuttle. After searching a few moments he found some uniform lockers and other various compartments to stow his gear in. His possessions neatly folded and put away he took a closer look at the control panel his room had. Hey keyed the button Barn has showed him and jumped slightly as a warm male voice came over the speakers in his room. The voice seemed to come from every direction. "Welcome, Federation crewmember. Can I help you?" Ixx fumbled his words for a moment before he could reply. "Uhh yes, which way is the common room?"
"The common room is out your door to the right, after that follow the passageway until you see a blue corridor that leads left. I can also illuminate a ceiling LED that will show you the way. Shall I activate it?"
"Yes! Please, that would be very helpful," replied Ixx quickly. "Very well, Instructor Barnabas has left orders for you to follow before I lead you there. Please review it with your data-tablet and once you're finished I'll light the way." Once the AI had finished speaking a wall panel popped open audibly and Ixx walked over. He grabbed the wafer thin tablet computer and watched it boot up. It automatically opened a basic safety overview, along with a few notes about prohibited areas. After that it gave him a recommendation for his uniform of the day. "Huh? A recommendation for uniforms? Its not standard?" The computer must have still been listening because it replied readily. "That is correct, the only required garment is the ships jumpsuit. It has all the survival and safety gear needed by way of one-time nano-construction bots. It will automatically create a sealed suit or any fraction of a full suit needed for safety. In non-emergency situations you will need to manually don safety gear before entering a non-casual zone.
Ixx thought for a moment before deciding on basically the same uniform he saw Barn wearing. The jumpsuit he grabbed from the locker he looked in earlier, an undershirt, and a belt. After getting dressed he looked in the mirror to make sure he was presentable. He was short for a human at about 65 centimeters tall. He weighed around 75 kilo of mostly lean muscle, although he was not without muscle either. His shaved head and beard were uncommon for Federation crewman but perfectly within regulation while away from port. Anthrian grooming standards were not applicable to humans so he was essentially free to present himself as he wanted from this point forward. Once he was done the auto-door to his room opened automatically and a green LED lit up and started moving through metal panels leading him out and towards the common room.
On his way to the common room he paid a little more attention to the resinous flooring in the ship. It felt vaguely like silicone and felt warm and pleasant under his bare feet. The ships passageways were narrow but not uncomfortably so. The shuttle was decently comfortable and cozy compared to what he would expect from any Terran ship. It seemed fairly advanced, from what he could tell without opening any access panels. Most ships had a lot more exposed pipes, wiring, etc. Ixx then spotted the blue passageway the AI had mentioned and walked a little faster, confident he was headed in the right direction. He could see that this corridor opened to a larger circular room. Just before he could see into the larger room however, an aroma that didn't quite fit the neutral scent of the ship hit his nose. It smelled faintly of musk. Something you might smell walking into a gym. Curious he kept walking until quite the sight unfolded before him.
Ixx took a sharp breath when he saw Barn on his knees between the legs of who must be Uri. The Ottine pilot looked strikingly similar to an Earth-Otter. Dark dense fur, almost black in color made up the majority of his fur. His belly though had a slightly lighter shade of brown on display. Ixx's eyes were drawn to the Ottine's shaft, and Barn running his mouth up and down its length enthusiastically. The Ottine made eye contact with Ixx who turned red and tried to turn away.
"We have company Barnabas, our new friend is here," Said Uri in a husky voice laden with obvious pleasure. Barn ceased his ministrations and looked over his shoulder.
"Don't look so embarrassed Ixx, this is your new normal. You're not interrupting. If you want to have a successful tour of duty with Anthrians this is the least of what you'll see. Come over here, you have work to do, and a few things to learn."
Ixx was still taken aback, but walked closer to the pair. "I'm not embarrassed really, I just wasn't expecting this so quickly. I figured this wouldn't happen until later on." Barn nodded and moved over, patting the floor beside him. "Of course, but that's honestly why I had Uri come down for this. This is all going to go at an extremely fast pace. There are going to be times the first meeting between you and Anthrian authority figures will involve sex. Sometimes this will come in a position where you are going to need to submit sexually in order establish a working relationship. Depending on what species captains a ship, it can be pretty rough."
Though Barn had stopped giving Uri oral he was still working his shaft with a hand. Uri gave an occasional moan of pleasure and squirmed on the couch that curved around to fit the dome like build of the room. Ixx got down on both knees, mimicking Barns position.
"I suppose this mark your formal introduction. This is Uri, our pilot and officer in charge of this shuttle." Said Barn, putting a hand on Uri's shoulder. Ixx was again slightly unsure of what to do, typically he would shake hands but that seemed a little out of place when he was basically at eye level with Uri's hard cock already. Barn however took the lead, smiling slightly. "Go ahead and get a taste, we're all shipmates now." Ixx needed little more encouragement, he had been looking forward to this for months.
Ixx scooted himself forward and got to work. He slid his mouth down on Uri's shaft. It was a good six inches of ottine shaft. The shape was roughly human, but with some subtle differences in texture and proportion. The taste however was quite different. Uri continued making small noises of pleasure, occasionally bucking his hips up to meet Ixx's mouth. Doing his best to keep the friction and pressure up, Ixx tried to identify the flavor. It was quite bit muskier, and perhaps more oily in taste than human anatomy. It wasn't bad though. He imagined it was a little like being able to taste the natural animal musk that some creatures back on earth might exude.
Uri began to moan in earnest, and placed his paws on both sides of Ixxs head. He began to take control of the pace, pushing and pulling Ixxs head down on his twitching member.
"Ahh yes, human mouths are wondrous things. You will make this journey the pleasure I hoped it might be. Not that Barns skills are anything to criticize." Drawled Uri, obviously enjoying himself. Ixx could only hum his acknowledgement as busy as his mouth was. He was awash in the musk and taste Uri was giving off. It was strong and rich. He always had a soft spot for raw scent, and the alien had that in spades. Animalistic and masculine, without being overpowering or outright smelly. Ixx grabbed at Uri's hips. He spread his legs a little wider, trying to get closer and make more body contact. His fur was wonderful. It was everything Ixx had hoped for in his time here which had literally only begun half an hour ago.
Sooner than he might have guessed though, Uri began to buck a little harder. The pressure on Ixx's head increased and he could see those Ottine toe-claws curl. All at once Uri grabbed the back of Ixx's head and grunted, hips jerking heavily forward. Ixx wasn't always one to swallow but curiosity kept him in place. He swallowed down several gulps of hot thick cum before letting the rest run down his face. It tasted faintly fishy, and bitter.
"Well it seems you'll be a good match as long as you can keep your sex drive up. A good performance under pressure." Laughed Barn.
"Indeed, well met crewman. I'll have uses for your body without doubt. I'm partial to Humans anyway. The lack of fur is....a refreshing new experience, and variety is never unwelcome. I'll be headed to the cockpit now. A pleasure to meet you and a most pleasurable introduction."
Uri pulled up his jumpsuit that had been piled around his ankles and zipped it up midway, leaving his furred-chest open to the air. Grabbing Barn by the arm, he leaned in and rubbed his whiskers on his cheek. Barn returned the gesture in kind and with that exchange Uri walked out into a passageway Ixx had yet to explore.
