Ian and his crew become whole once more, and prepare to entertain their first guests to their new world...
Eyes of the Beholder 2
"This is Executive Officer Amanda Banes of the S.S. Lantern, requesting immediate assistance!" The young woman nearly shouted over the intercom. It had been nearly fifteen minutes since the life signs of all three crew members went flatline, two of them happening at the same time after their misguided attempt to save their Captain. She had ordered them to come back, but they had willingly disobeyed their orders to go save their friend, and as a result she was all alone on a possibly hostile planet.
While she desperately wanted to activate the ship's emergency autopilot to get into the relative safety, the proper protocol was for her to stay on the planet and radio in for the nearest military vessel to conduct a thorough search of the area in order to determine the cause of death of the three crewmen. "Once again, this is the Executive Officer of the S.S. Lantern requesting a Code 435, we have sustained catastrophic crew loss!"
"S.S. Lantern, this is M.W. Thunderhawk." She finally heard on the other side of the radio, causing her to sigh with relief. "We have received your message and will be warping to your location with a crew of twelve strong. Please sit tight and do not leave the ship until we have arrived and set up a perimeter."
"Will do Thunderhawk, over and out." Amanda replied before hanging up the intercom. She had already made sure that all the airlocks were dead bolted, nothing able to come in or out of the ship without the proper passcodes. Even though the threat that had claimed the lives of the rest of the crew was still out there she felt somewhat safe inside, especially with the cavalry riding in. As she sat in the communications chair she began to wonder what three dead crew mates was going to look like on her career.
A sharp tapping noise just outside the room caused her to bolt out of her chair, the unknown sound sending a shiver down her spine. With the entire ship shut down save for the air circulators there shouldn't be any type of audible noise, yet as she continued to listen in silence she heard it once more, three sharp taps. She immediately grabbed the nearby laser pistol she had taken from the emergency box after the rest of the crew died and slowly got up, moving to the door and cautiously looking outside.
When she saw nothing she thought it maybe her imagination getting the best of her, at least until she heard the taps once more on the other side of the corner of the corridor. As per the protocol only the emergency lighting was on, which made it hard for her to see if anything was moving around as she slowly left the room and started to walk down the hallway. It couldn't have been from the planet, she reasoned, as the ship was locked up tight. The only thing she could think of was that one of the crewmembers had somehow survived while their suit suffered catastrophic failure, though that was next to impossible as she peaked around the corner.
As Amanda continued to follow the mysterious noise she found herself in the crew's quarters, the tapping sound leading her to the Captain's door. Surprisingly she found the door to be open, as well as a soft glow coming from it as she readied her pistol. She let out a small "Ha!" as she turned the corner, only to find no one there. What she did find however was several candles lit around the room, as well as several flowers that she could not identify scattered about on the bed. Had the situation not been terrifying, the setting would have been remarkably romantic as she stepped inside the room to examine it further.
"What do you think?" She suddenly heard a voice behind her, whipping her pistol around to confront whatever terror lay there. Instead all she saw was the pitch black of the adjacent bathroom, save for two multicolored orbs that hung there in the shadows. "It's a bit spur of the moment, but I used what I could and I have to say I'm rather proud of myself."
"Who's there?" Amanda asked as she kept the pistol raised, though she found her hands shaking as she stared at the two points of light that floated there. "St...state your business!"
"Mmmm, still following the rules, even in the face of danger." The voice had a honey smooth quality even with the slight hiss to it as the glowing eyes swayed from side to side in the darkness, creating a mesmerizing pattern that the female officer couldn't help but follow. "That's how I knew exactly how to sneak in while remaining undetected, how to lure you into this room, and how I could ensnare you before you would even think of pulling that trigger. Now why don't you give me that gun so we can get properly acquainted..."
"You... you have to... identify... first..." Amanda's voice began to slur as she began to lose herself in those eyes, especially as they came forward out of the darkness. She got her first glimpse of the alien creature as it gently took the gun from her, setting it down on the nearby stool. The creature was covered in smooth blue and silver skin, reminding her of a frog's except not slimy as he reached up and touched her face. It had the face and hood like a snake however, though those features were nothing compared to the fascinating pattern of colors that encompassed his eyes, which were framed by a series of what looked like intricate tattoos that she absentmindedly ran a finger across.
"Turns out Levi is quite the artist." The Sskausa said with a smile as he guided the enthralled female towards the bed. While Ian knew in the back of his mind that the military personnel that she had called would be there in less than an hour he wanted to have some fun with her before she was converted. "Why don't you strip for me, let me see that wonderful body of yours."
Amanda could feel herself blush from the compliment, even though normally she would have slapped the former captain in the face and ran off to file a complaint with the exploration board. The reptilian male sat back and watched with a grin as the normally straight-laced female began to slowly take off her clothes, striking several seductive poses as she pulled off each piece. He hadn't even told her to make it a sexy show, he thought as she pulled off her shirt and draped it over his head, which made him wonder just how repressed the young woman was...
"Mmmm, a nice body to accompany a brilliant mind..." Ian commented as his formerly shy first officer pulled her plain white panties down her legs and kicked them aside. There was a brief pause as the two beings stared at each other, both human and alien waiting to see who would make the next move. Finally the eager Sskausa grabbed the human by the hands and gently pulled her down to her knees, his erect, jet-black shaft mere inches from her face. "Service me, my eager companion."
Amanda could feel herself begin to grow conflicted from the order, normally never even thinking about doing this to a guy and especially not some frog-skinned snake alien she had just met that might have been her former captain. As she turned her eyes up however they locked onto the exploding pattern of Ian's eyes, her own going half-lidded as she took her lips and wrapped them around the head of his cock. He let out a small hiss of delight as the enthralled female slowly lowered her mouth down, taking as much of his member as she could before pulling back up until just the head remained before doing it again.
"Mmmm, you have done this before, haven't you?" Ian said with a chuckle, which got louder as the female numbly nodded her head as she sucked on his cock. His tail whipped around behind him as his former executive officer worked on his shaft, her tongue swirling around the sensitive flesh as she bobbed up and down. Had she kept it up he would have blown his load in her mouth in less than in minute, but before she even had a chance he ordered him to draw off of his cock.
"Is something wrong?" Amanda asked, something that caused Ian a bit of a pleasant surprise. From the genetic knowledge he had obtained most hypnotized creatures had a hard time speaking, but though she was still under his control she was able to make a rational and easily understandable question. This likely meant she had great willpower, something that definitely bumped up her standards in the Sskausa's eye.
"I want to get you in your new form before we get into proper mating." Ian replied, grabbing her hand and helping her up. As she stood up his tail whipped around and attached itself to her exposed butt cheek, putting enough venom in her to keep her docile even when he's not looking into her eyes until they made the journey to the grove. "Follow me and we'll get you changed right away, I think I have the perfect genetic profile for you."
The two of them walked through the ship, Ian leading the way while the hypnotized human stayed right by his side until they reached the airlock. "Environmental suit... its proper protocol to be in one at all times while on an undocumented planet." She stated, her words slurring slightly as she reached out for one hanging on the rack.
"Do not worry m'dear, there will be no need for that." Ian reassured as he turned her head and stared into her eyes, letting his comments cement themselves in her brain to make the journey easier. "This world is habitable enough for you to go out as you are, understood?"
"Yes... sir." Amanada replied blankly, the moist air of the swamp blowing across her naked body as the alien creature directed her across the muddy landscape. The trek was unpleasant for the human, slipping more than once and falling in the mud. Ian sighed, he knew it wouldn't be long before she would have no trouble traversing the swamps like he did but he was growing impatient and was quite horny.
By the time the two had made it back to the grove of the Sskausa the sun had already started to set below the horizon. The two Sskausa males that had been his former crew had taken up similar positions in their new lives, Levi had rapidly acclimated to the new technology and took to it like a fish in water while Harlen had taken a shine to the weapons cache that they had found. Both of them shared a smile as they watched the naked woman cross the grove, led by Ian to one of the plants that had given him their freedom. "Twenty credits says that he gives her the low-tier." Levi said.
"You are on." Harlen replied as he attached a strange looking tentacle device on his shoulder, jumping slightly when it suddenly came to life. "Cool..."
Ian left the two Sskausa idly gossiping and positioned Amanda in front of the genetic sequencer before he went to the console. He felt bad for Levi but he was about to lose twenty credits, he had plans for her and such a brilliant mind would have been a waste in a low-caste body. As his fingers glided across the stone console he turned back just in time to watch the plant envelop the female. The rubbery organic material was stretched tight over her form as he put in the proper genetic sequence. While it was a bit of a shame to see those perky breasts and lovely face disappear as her body was painlessly dissolved he knew that something far better would come from it. Not long after the last of the bulges in the plant disappeared the vines of the plant began to bulge as the genes and additional organic material were added to the stomach of it.
"Sir!" Harlen shouted as the two 'walls' of the plant once more began to fill with a humanoid shape. "Long range scanners are picking up on a large vessel that has just entered orbit. Estimated planetfall in fifteen minutes."
Ian tapped a claw against his chin, looking down at the glowing stone that read how long until the transformation process was finished. "The Thunderhawk must have already been prepping a jump when Amanda called them." He mused. "A minor inconvenience, we'll just have to step up our readiness."
"Thunderhawk?" Levi asked, his eye ridge rising slightly. "As in the M.W. Thunderhawk? Sir, we can't possibly go against them, they're a trained military squad with years of tactical training. Going up against them would be suicide."
"Stop thinking like a soldier and start thinking like a proper Sskausa." Ian replied with a smirk. "We're not going against them head-on, otherwise you would be correct. All we have to do is capture the hierarchy and the grunts will follow."
"Great... how do we do that?" Levi asked. All three Sskausa looked at each other, apparently at a loss for words as they brainstormed how to separate the commanding officers. Ian had not anticipated the thought, but the former feline had made a valid point since they usually scouted areas in groups of two with the officers with them. They could feel the clock ticking as they gave each other worried looks, Captain Ian's confidence wavering slightly for the first time since he was given his new form.
"Boys... if I may make a suggestion." The three males suddenly heard, all of them turning around. Ian's jaw nearly dropped as he saw the gorgeous sight before him, the female Sskausa wiping the last of the slime from her body. He had given her the same silver coloration he had, though instead of blue she had a deep purple that transfused into a light red as it went up to her body and around her ridged hood. "The commanding officers do not go into an area that the radar pings with possible contamination. They always leave one or two on the ship to monitor the radar so all you have to do is capture them first then send the grunts on a wild goose chase."
Ian heard Harlen whistle next to him, until his hand promptly smacked against his abs and caused the male to cough slightly. "Thanks Amanda." The leader Sskausa said, going up to the newly created female. "Your knowledge of protocol is exactly why I wanted you as one of the mid-rank tiers, so-"
"Whatever you say boss." Amanda interrupted, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him into a deep embrace. He could feel his slit begin to part, his cock pushing out as she rubbed her stunning body against his. They were two perfect creatures, he realized as their tongues twined around one another, made for one another as his hands roamed across her boy.
Behind Ian he could hear the other two Sskausa begin to make out, glancing over in their direction. "Don't even start." He warned, causing the two males to separate and look around bashfully. "You have a ship to greet, go back to the Lantern and get their landing coordinates so you can infiltrate it as soon as the commandos are on the planet surface."
"Yes sir!" The two said, grabbing several pieces of alien looking tech before running out of the grove. He looked back at Amanda, smirking slightly when he heard them mumbling that the Captain gets all the fun.
"Don't you think that we should get back to the ship as well?" Amanda replied coyly, running a claw down his lithe chest. "A shame that all your decorations of your quarters will go to waste."
Ian put a finger to her muzzle, then beckoned for her to follow as he took her by the hand. He led her to a small area of the grove that was obscured by vines, which he pushed away before leading her inside. Once she was passed the foliage she let out a small gasp, taken slightly aback by the sudden change of décor. The room had a large hammock made out of vines which hung partially over a pool of fresh water, the pond crystal clear unlike the fetid pools that made up most of the swamp that surrounded them. Floating on the water were several of the same flowers that were in the ship, floating delicately on the water as she remarked how beautiful it was and asked how it was even possible.
"Our... ancestors were masters of biomechanical engineering." Ian replied as he moved towards the hammock, stepping expertly on the stones that led up to the bed. "They've created things that humans could only dream of. I think they had plans for this planet, but for some reason scrapped the whole project. Or maybe this was some sort of Ark, an emergency species revival post in the case of catastrophe. Either way I thought this could be our room."
"Our room?" Amanda grinned, hopping across the stones with ease as her tail flicked about. "Moving awfully quick Captain."
"Well with all those human weaknesses and protocols stripped away I see no need for awkward declarations or clumsy courting, and please call me Ian." Ian replied as he laid down on the hammock, swaying slightly as he quickly turned around and gave her a come hither look. "If you feel the same attraction I do then come and join me, otherwise I will respect your wishes to want another mate."
Amanda stopped right in front of the bed, letting out a small hmm as she looked him over with a smirk. "I think you'll do." She said sarcastically as she slid into the hammock, surprised at how soft the vines felt as the comfortable feeling of the male's body pressed against hers. "Your lead, my mate."
Those words were all that Ian needed to hear, sliding on top of her body as they shared another kiss. Their passions flared as any pretense of restraint was removed, the two Sskausa let the fires of their lust consume them. It was a slow burn though, taking time to caress and tease each other's bodies as his hard, tapered member pressed against her thigh. Ian's body shuddered as her hands swirled around the fins and spikes that adorned his body, his own hands pressing against her chest.
Soon the time for foreplay had passed, Ian's quivering cock pressed against Amanda's feminine lips as they looked into each other's eyes. It was like they were virgins, even though they both had sexual encounters before it felt like it was in a past life now. After a second of hesitation he began to push inside her, causing the female Sskausa to let out a small gasp as she felt his length penetrate him. His maleness slid in with ease, though the walls clenched firmly around his member he found her slit slickened with her want. Before long their groins touched, Ian letting out a loud sigh of contentment as he hilted her. It felt better than he could have imagined, and from the way he felt her body shudder beneath him he guessed that she enjoyed herself just as much.
"Mmmm yes, a perfect fit." Amanda said as she felt herself completely filled by the male above her, who smiled down at the compliment before sliding out of her. Their lusts quickly began to get the better of both of them, going from simply enjoying the touch of each other's body to a more forceful thrusting to elicit the strong feelings of pleasure from the penetration. The hammock began to sway slightly as both Sskausa got into it, their tails wrapped around one another as their lithe bodies moved in tandem with one another. Their bodies slid over each other as they pressed their snouts into another passionate kiss, muffling their groans as his cock slid faster and deeper into her.
Amanda was the first to break the kiss as she let out a loud cry, her back arching up as she came for the first time in her new form. Ian was not far behind her, holding her close as her spasming vaginal walls drove him over the edge. They were both locked in the throes of orgasm for quite some time, Ian's seed spraying deeply into her belly as his hips continued to buck forward shallowly a few times from the force of the climax. When it was finally over they both slumped back into the hammock, Ian still inside Amanda's slit as they rolled onto their sides.
"Amazing..." Amanda gasped, running a hand down Ian's face as their breathing returned to normal. "I didn't think it could ever feel like that."
"And that's just the beginning." Ian replied as he rubbed a finger under her chin. "I wish we could do more, but I'm afraid our guests will be arriving soon."
"I know." Amanda replied with a disappointed sigh. "Let us get on with it then, would hate to be rude hosts and keep them waiting."
****************************************
In the atmosphere of the planet above a glint of light could be seen, which slowly grew bigger until the outline of a very large gunship could be seen. It slowly drifted down to the planet, bright blue flames firing from underneath it and cooking the mud and water until it was nothing more than scorched, hardened clay as it touched down on the ground. Compared to the Lantern the ship was massive, one of the largest planetfall capable ships in the entire fleet. Inside the behemoth the Commander sat at the helm as his two pilots punched in the standard procedures for landing in a hostile environment.
"This is the M.W. Thunderhawk arriving at planet designated Tengo-Xray-Charlie-2-6-4-1-9-0, responding to a distress call made by the S.S. Lantern." The Commander relayed into the sub-wave communicator that connected them to headquarters. "We have made contact with the ship's computer and it shows that the last crew member is now MIA. Until we have further confirmation we have to assume that hostile forces have killed all four crew members and that this is now a recovery mission."
"Commander Hammul, are you sure you want to make such a hasty conclusion like that?" A young man in the chair right behind the man spoke up. "Executive Officer Hunes might still be alive out there."
"Not likely Lieutenant Kenkarl." The Commander quickly rebuked. "Now go and brief the soldiers on the mission, I'll be down to join them shortly once I've finished with this report. You are exused."
Lieutenant Kenkarl let out an inaudible sigh as he left the bridge. He hated the fact that Hammul was his Commander, the young military man was only in the position because his father was a high ranking officer in the council. If he could have he would transfer out, but the Thunderhawk was a prestigious ship and those who served their terms in it often went on to far better commendations.
Back in the bridge the young man finished his report, then looked to the two pilots that began to adjust to their positions as radar monitors. "Alright fags, going to go find out how these dumbasses got killed." Hammul said with a smirk as he got up and left the bridge.
"What a tool." One of the pilots said once the soldiers left the hanger. The two began to rip on the Commander and failed to notice the two creatures that slipped inside before the doors closed. Neither of the two had bothered to start the internal ship senor sweep, focusing instead of ripping their commanding officer and setting themselves up for the hours of mind-numbing radar monitoring.
"I swear to god Marco, one day that fool is going to get us all killed." One of the men, a canimorph that looked like a husky, said as he pulled off his helmet and set it next to the radar console. "I realize that Kenkarl has our back and fixes most of his mistakes, one day that blowhard is going to override him and he's going to lead us all into... into..."
The human chuckled as he heard the canimorph trail off. "What's the matter Gavin, something shiny make you lose your train of thought?" When his crewmate failed to respond he looked over to the other radar station, his look of bemusement turning into one of horror. The husky was leaned back in the chair, his eyes rolled back into his head as a strange appendage was stuck against the middle of his chest.
Marco tried to jump up to help his crewmate, but a strong pair of hands brought him right back down in his chair. "Well hello there beautiful." The human shuddered slightly as he felt something long and thin tickle against his ear while those hands grabbed his chair restraints and tightened them. "My partner Harlen prefers his poison, but I think for you I'll go au natural since you're already nicely restrained and all."
"Harlen..." Marco replied as he struggled, the belts that were there to save his life now preventing him from escaping with it as he remembered the name on their mission docket. "Dude, I don't know what happened to you but I sure central command could fix it!"
"I've already been fixed..." the Sskausa chuckled as entered into the pilot's field of vision, Levi's silky smooth flesh rubbing against his cheek.
"Let me go!" Marco screamed, thrashing against the restraints when it appeared bargaining would not work. "Gavin help!" The pilot tried to wrench his head away as he felt hands press against his cheek, only to find that his canine co-pilot was actively engaged in a fierce make-out session with the other reptilian creature identified as Harlen as Gavin's suit was stripped from his body.
Marco's shock at the scene caused his guard to be let down enough for Levi to easily turn the human's head. The man wanted to thrash out once more at his captor, to strike out even though he couldn't move, but when they went face to face he couldn't help but lock eyes with him. It was like a shock to the system, his mind going blank as he watched the shifting colors of the creature's eyes. When he finally did get a thought through his head it was of how beautiful those patterns were, his mouth going slightly slack as he was so mesmerized he didn't even notice his own clothing being removed from his body.
"Very little will on these boys." Levi commented as he altered the coloration of his eyes ever so subtly, smirking as he felt the human's member grow instantly hard beneath him. "Ian's going to reject them for receiving the Sskausa gene, even the lowest tier."
"Very true." Harlen replied once his lips had been removed from the husky. "You know though, I do remember Ian mentioning something about restarting a slave trade... these two would make a perfect start."
Levi hummed, partially in agreement and mainly because he felt the human's member brush against his taint. While his mate had the tip of his tapered member already pushed against the husky's hole, Levi still enjoyed getting filled more and straddled the hypnotized human to line up his own tailhole with the smaller cock. His own tool pushed against the skin of Marco's bare abs, a shiver running down the Sskausa's spine as he rubbed it up against his tailhole.
Levi's legs twitched in anticipation as he felt Marco's throbbing maleness twitch against his tailhole, the idea of the human beneath him being a slave causing an even greater sexual thrill then before. The thought of it seemed so... natural to Levi, the more he rolled it around his head the better it got. The Sskausa race is the most superior after all, he reasoned as he slowly skewered himself on his captive's cock, it made sense to him that they would be served by those lower than them...
"Mmmm, I think I'm going to keep you if Ian lets us." Levi hissed as he watched the human's mouth open in a pleasurable gasp while lowering his body further down and impaling himself further. "A few modifications will be in order though..."
"Same here!" Harlen nearly shouted, pressing the canine's body as far back into the chair as possible as he pushed his slick member inside Gavin's tailhole as deeply as he could. The husky let out a loud howl as he felt his anal virginity get taken, his tail wagging in a way that signaled he was enjoying himself far more than he was letting on as the Sskausa rocked his body back and forth. "Though will certainly keep the canine aspect, a good obedient puppy that can lay at the foot of our bed."
Levi chuckled, his laughter turning into a groan as he felt the human beneath him push up into his tailhole. The Sskausa was slightly surprised at the initiative that Marco had taken, and decided to reward him with a squeeze of his inner muscles as his silky insides rubbed against the sensitive flesh. Levi grabbed a strange looking collar from his bag as he began to slide up and down, securing it to his new pet's neck. There was a momentary look of confusion on the human's face as he could feel something dig painlessly into the flesh of his neck, bonding with the nerves of his body and cementing his obedience.
"I have something very important for you to do now, my pet." Levi hissed as he grabbed the human's toned sides and pulled him close, their noses almost touching as he locked eyes with him. "As soon as we're done here you're going to call out to the squads, and this is what you're going to say..."
