"I think that's everyone except Carbon, and she'll just take a minute. Oh, wait." Ilaria pulled up the Starbreeze's security grid and started scanning through cameras. "Anyone know where Rose is hiding? She's got one of those buddies in her head and we could probably use the computational help without Eve here."

"Oh, she's right outside. And watch your muzzle, please." Sydney nodded from the hallway as she helped pull Carbon's wheelchair through the ready room's side door, the hybrid thankfully having never heard Ari's final comment over the noise of the chair. "Rose, they want you to join too. Just let me... get this thing over..."

Rose sighed and raised the chair effortlessly over the hatch's bulkhead with her alien strength. "You guys should really think about setting up a few ramps. Those blind girls have trouble with these things too."

"Yeah, well in most ships you don't have simulated gravity and the problem solves itself." One of the engineering staff, a hyena, tapped his false leg with the other. "I like to think space is where our kind really shine."

Ari nodded in agreement, her own disabilities definitely having a better time in the zero-gravity elevator shafts than the rest of the Starbreeze. "Definitely. That's a good outlook, uh... Steven?"

"Sven. Happens all the time so don't worry about it."

"Sorry. I'll make a note of that for later, hon." Ari stood in the back of the room near a hologram projector that provided some pacing space. "Alright, is everyone ready? There's some serious shit we have to discuss."

"Um... Pardon me, ma'am..." Buck stood from his seat and offered both the space and his chair to Sydney and Carbon. "Is this little lady doin' alright? I ain't laid eyes on 'er in weeks an' she comes back looking paler than rice."

Cid tried to come up with a positive answer, but the truth bit down a little too hard in her gut. "Carbon? Oh, she's... She's doing..."

"I'm pregnant. My kind... get weak when that happens."

Cid, Rose, and the other few that knew that was a lie shot the hybrid a concerned glance, with Rose actually bringing up her dissent. "Maybe for you, being a hybrid. I thought we—"

"I'm sure about it. I just don't know how far along I am without... Eve..." Carbon clutched a black crystal hanging from a chain around her neck and radiated with ultraviolet. "Just forget about it. Let's do this meeting."

"Uh... sure, later. And yeah, this is important. Time sensitive, even." Ari pulled up a hologram representing the ship's plotted course through space, moving out of the way when the image intersected her position and distorted. "Our little problem concerns this. We planned to boat it back to Earth with this course, but it's not working."

"Oh, stellar drift or something?" The ship's amphibious pilot, Alex, pointed to the nearest star to their current position. "Nobody's ever had to worry about multiple stars before, and I think we're getting shoved about by unexpected gravity or something. Bad slingshots, maybe?"

"You're part right. We do have a gravity issue, and we need to fix it." Ari nodded to Prisma's avatar on her watch and the model changed to include Adrian's new data overlaid over the planned path. "To be specific, we're being pulled backwards in this direction. We think it's a black hole."

"Wouldn't we notice that?" Rose walked over and gave the image a much closer appraisal. "Like, wouldn't we all be dead or something?"

"Apparently not. The best we can guess is that there are infinite event horizons rather than the one, scaling down to infinity. It's uh... like a slide rule, I guess."

"Ah, I think I get it." Buck walked over as well and quickly animated the event horizon so it followed the ship. "It's draggin' on our ass, like this. So more like, you pass the horizon and then she chases tail the deeper you tunnel 'till you hit her core."

"Colorful, but yeah. I think of it more like a treadmill, where you can move but the ground just gets pulled back. We're always stuck at a horizon and can't move any further way. We can move laterally and inward, but home is outward..." Ilaria sighed as she interpreted the possible outcomes for the hundredth time. "We can leave if we dive out of space since normal physics don't apply, but we lose our ground when we stop to charge the oxydium for the next try. This is where you guys come in."

Alex raised her webbed hand and proposed, "Couldn't we just hit the gas and run the treadmill a bit while we wait?"

"We only have so much ballast to use as propellant." Adrian sat up straight as he thought out loud about that secondary issue. "If we can think of a way to refill the ballast tanks though, maybe. Water's got the best specific impulse with our exhaust engines so far, but maybe ice would work?"

"Planetary ice, likely not." Sven quirked his jaw to the side as he thought it through. "We could maybe improve the water intakes to work like scoops and pick up ring ice though."

"Nope. Not happening." Iolvin unexpectedly spoke up before his husband managed to do so. "I saw that up close on my honeymoon ride and that shit's bigger than the ship."

"We'll keep the idea in mind and see if we come up with a solution." Ari huffed out a sigh of defeat as that pathway effectively closed. "Anything else? This damned black hole isn't just affecting us. The sooner we get back to Earth, the sooner we can work on saving it from being swallowed as well."

"Earth is in this?" Rose practically fell when her knees weakened. "Fuck. We can't move a planet. Hell, we can't even evacuate it."

Ari helped the Yangurra to her feet. "We can't do much, I agree... but you never know. Maybe we'll find a way to nullify the effect—"

"Wait, is that an option?" Dee stood up as he had a bit of a brain wave. "We ignore space and time when we dive, thanks to the oxydium. Can we maybe make a countermeasure out of the stuff? Use something like half the reserves to stop the gravitation effect, then take twice as many dives home?"

Ari perked up at the notion. "I like that idea. Longer time getting home, but we'd at least get there."

Cid nodded as she relayed her internal phantom's additions. "We could go on more missions back home and get enough oxydium to do all that on a larger scale. Just jumbo-size it. Might save the planet, right?"

Ilaria pondered the idea, but sided against it. "But the missions take a lot of time we might not have. Then there's the chance that the added entropy we create goes and breaks our whole universe even more."

"Entropy...?" Carbon raised her head slowly as she clutched her charm, her instinct guiding her. "What if we're thinking about this entirely the wrong way? What if we should be destroying the black hole?"

"Carbon? That's suicide..." Ari literally took a step back as she pondered the concept. "...right? But we create similar singularities after we dive, don't we? Girls?"

Ari's twins perked up as they communed between themselves for a moment via a Link, then Michelle signed out their conclusion. <We create a gravity well in our wake. This is the exact point we must re-enter to travel back to our proper universe.>

<So how is it any different?>

<Being created smaller and with less energy, the well fails to collapse into a true gravitational singularity.> Chelle cracked her fingers after the complex phrasing and Mikhaila took over the rest. <If we were to pass enough mass through and brought enough stored energy with it, we could create rudimentary black holes in theory.>

"Wow. So that's more dangerous than I thought." Ari simplified things as she relayed them to the group. "For those of you that don't sign, they're saying we use black holes when we dive."

"Which brings me to my point." Carbon groaned as she pushed herself up straight in her wheelchair so she wouldn't slide off. "Something about this doesn't feel natural. It's possible ~we~ did this, but..." Carbon placed a paw on the table console, then rolled her eyes when she realized Eve wasn't there to do all the work just by touch. "Goddess, manual typing... Okay, so see where your estimated origin is for that black hole? Try this:"

Ari dove in for a close look as a cursor corrected the estimate to a much narrower area. "What did you do? You know a way to find the center?"

"No, I know the way to Yangurrar." The room went silent as Carbon finished her touch-ups. "The stars are all screwed up and warped because of that thing messing with sensors, but I can still guess pretty close. Sadly the only person that could find the perfect spot is gone now."

"What about... Rose?"

The alien just blinked a few times as the room stared at her. "Don't look at ~me~. I was born on Earth and my parents kept all that stuff away from me."

"Shit." Ari examined the updated map and sighed. "That's still a huge area, realistically. That close to the center, it's too dangerous to be wrong. We really need precise information here if we're considering attacking the thing."

Ilaria's kids perked up for a moment, then immediately ducked their heads down to hide.

<Girls...> Ari closed the distance towards them so even their uncles couldn't read her signing. <I know when you've done something bad. If it helps us now though, I promise I won't be angry.>

<But we know you'll still be mad.> The two silently conversed some more, then Mik signed while Chelle started on a portal. <We'll still show you, because we love you. Just try to understand why we did it, though.>

<We're going somewhere?> A portal opened beneath the three, then in a second they landed in the mid cargo bay next to a cargo container. <Oh, this thing? Nobody's figured out how to open it. It's jammed shut, probably from the collision in our last battle. We've been meaning to open all these guys.>

The twins shook their heads slowly as Chelle answered, <No, we sealed it. There's just enough open to let cool air inside.> Another portal opened against the side of the container, apparently leading directly inside such that it looked like a hole in the metal. <We did what we thought was right, mom. We were... wrong. Please don't be angry.>

Ilaria stepped into the portal and froze when she noticed movement in the dark. <What's in here?>

"Hello? Did you bring someone new?" The voice was entirely familiar, but the figure in the far back of the container was not the same person. "I... I already ate, right? It hasn't been an even an hour..."

The twins entered the container, their own glowing skin adding to their mother's to dimly light the inside. <We didn't know what to do. She was alone and might have be helpful to us.>

Ari stared in disbelief at a de-fanged version of Rose she thought she'd left in a whole different reality. <You didn't send her back!?> Once her eyes adjusted to the low light, Ari also noticed the girl was chained to the floor panel. <Why is she tied up? What the fuck have you two been doing!?>

"Do... Do you want me to service her as well?" This version of Rose crawled over until her chains were taut, revealing she wasn't wearing any clothes save a breathing mask. "I'll do whatever pleases you, my goddesses. Should I offer my petals? Or my mouth, maybe?"

The girls nearly came to tears as their mother backed away speechless. <She would have been killed if we left her! We thought we could get some more information from her, then maybe set her loose!>

<You've been fucking her! Raping her!>

<We... let our needs get the best of us. We're not proud of that.> Chelle reached out and gave the alien a rub on the cheek. <We realized too late what we were doing was wrong. But that doesn't matter now.>

<...No, but it will stop now.>

<Mom...> Mik walked over and snapped the chains with a blade made of hard light. <She won't hurt anyone. She even listens to us and doesn't make any noise. I think she'll do whatever we ask of her because she relies on us.>

Ilaria whimpered as the Yangurra crawled over and reached for her pants. "No... Don't do that. Just because your uncle has Zoë doesn't mean we approve of slavery." She quietly stepped out of the container, disappointment and defeat smothering her face. "I'll go back to the meeting on my own. Clean her up. Give her something proper to eat. For gods' sakes clothe her. Give her back her life."

<Mom!?>

"Girls, I said I wouldn't be angry. I'm not. I'm just... confused how to feel about this. You're such good girls, and you were trying to be good here too... but..." Ari walked backwards so her deaf children could still read her lips. "For now we'll just consider that she could be useful, ~if~ she's willing. When she's settled in a bit, bring her to me and we'll figure out a plan."

The twins looked to each other, ignoring the tears that clouded their vision. <Yes, mom.>

"Goddess..." Rose sat on the far side of the mess hall as her formerly-evil clone inspected every single thing while entering the room. "I... I can't get used to this."

"Eet eez... unsettleeng, oui." Fleur blinked in astonishment a few times, then returned to eating her salad. "Bah... sooch 'oreeble ingredients..."

"Well them matter printers them girls cooked up ain't perfect." Buck shoveled his own salad down with some tobasco pepper sauce to cover the flavor. "Still, better than starvin' to death, darlin'."

"Oui."

"I can take eating bad food. I'm just not sure I'd be able to hold it down seeing her." Rose ducked her head down when her mirror image scanned the room. "What did they do to her? She's missing her queoo."

"Those vine things? Don't like tha way ya' look without 'em?"

"No, it's more the cruelty part I'm worries about. I'm fine with the way..." Rose squirreled down again as she watched Phoebe and Themis enter the room, not only fully dressed for a first but decked out in form-perfect business suits. "...they look..."

"Oh, 'they'?" Buck gave Rose a playful nudge as the boys found them. "Nothin' wrong with a crush, Rosie."

"Shut up—" The twins sat down with huge grins on their muzzles, enticing Rose to quickly smile back in reaction before ducking into her hands to hide her blushing face. "H-Hey, guys. You're, uh... looking good."

"Oh, you like it?" Themis placed his camera on the table and wrapped the neck strap around the barrel of the lens. "We weren't sure if we made them right."

Phoebe nodded in agreement and pulled the lapel of his jacket out a bit. "Yeah, I was pretty sure of the design, but the color?..."

"You look so handsome..." Immediately Rose caught her muttered thoughts and held them back, but not without Buck nudging her again. "I mean, they look good on you. You've got ~nothing~ to worry about."

Buck finished his food and inclined Fleur to give up on hers as well. "Well, gotta put that snout to the grindstone again. Sorry to leave ya' to yourselves an' scoot."

"Ah, oui. Mooch work to do."

"Come on, Fleur. You're not leaving too, are you?" Rose gave a ~secret~ girl stare to her friend requesting her assistance, but the elk picked up her tray with a smile. "Come on. You don't even have anything to do on this ship, just like me. Join us."

"Boot... Ee do 'ave eh ~person~ to do." Fleur smiled and quickly flashed a condom that was between her fingers. "Zorry, Rose. Mammals 'ave oorgees... 'u-urges' to satisfy."

"Of course you're ~conveniently~ in heat. Just... enjoy it, I guess. You know I won't tell your dad." Rose pouted for a moment, then perked right back to alertness as she realized the twins were staring back at her. "Ah... So why go from nothing to ~so much~? Bit fancy, isn't it?"

Phoebe shrugged his shoulders as he checked the other trays nearby for the available meal selection. "Someone said it might look nice, so..."

"Yeah, we just figured 'Why not?' and went for it." Themis reached over and stole a French fry from an untouched pile on Rose's plate. "Damn, of all the things you don't eat you choose the best thing on the ship. Never got that."

"It's like eating someone's... feet or something." Rose watched with minor disgust as both the boys started attacking her fries. "I don't eat potential relatives. I'm fine with the burger, thanks."

"But that's what I don't get. You're, like, reverse-vegetarian but you eat bread?" Themis smirked as he stole once more before noticing the look he was receiving. "What's the difference?"

"That's made of powdered flowers." The alien smiled a bit as the twins stopped on her behalf. "Plants bear fruit for the purpose of being eaten. I mean... it's still personal in some cases... sexual even... but sharing one's fruit is natural. Eating flesh is... cannibal. Yeah, that's the word."

"Wow. Damn, I didn't know that was why." Phoebe stood and slowly began moving for the serving counter. "Good thing we like the burgers too. Sorry if that made you upset."

"On the contrary. I respect that different species eat different things. If the food is already dead, it's not something I can change." Rose loosened up a bit as Pho went to grab two trays, leaving her with only one of the pair. "Still, I appreciate the sentiment. You two are sweet like that, even if it's only for me."

"Hey, you're our only real friend on this ship. We can't go hurting each other." Em sighed as he thought about recent rumors spreading throughout the ranks. "Besides, it looks like you'll keep that title indefinitely. I was hoping to finally see Earth, too..."

"You will, Emmi." Rose dared herself to reach forward and place a hand on the otter's paw. "We'll work to make it happen."

"Goddess, I hope you're right."

"I want my dick back, bro." Ilaria held the floppy prosthesis in one paw and played with its springiness with the other. "I'm sure there's a way I could have two. Then you'd have two holes and I'd have two cocks. It'd be ~perfect~. Heeee."

"You already have daughters that can fulfill that dream for you, and then some. Now can we get on with this, or are you planning to hold ~my~ junk over your head?" Ari pouted and relinquished the advanced dildo to Iolvin. "Thanks. So, how does this work?"

"Very much like the rest of your limbs." Olivia took the dick in turn as she knelt between Yoyo's legs. "It snaps into place on that implant we embedded like this, then twists to lock. I'll let you do that part since... well, it'll hurt the first time like the others as well."

"Well I didn't really mind the others. You just don't want to grip the shaft, right?" Yoyo smirked when he hit the nail on the head, the albino ermine easily showing her embarrassment in her flushed face. "Sorry. I'll just get it over with so you can get outta here."

"Actually, I wasn't kidding about—"

"Holy...!" Iolvin keeled over in pain on his bed as he engaged the prosthesis. "Gah, shit! It's like... getting punched in the balls by a fucking robot..."

"I was about to say that there's just about more nerve endings there than your other grafts combined. On the plus side though, we know they're connected and working."

"Well, that's not ~entirely~ true." Ari sat next to her brother and let her tented sirat proclaim her interest. "I'll only consider it a success when he blows his load. So, care to give the guy a test drive?"

Adrian chuckled from a chair in the corner. "I didn't know it would be that simple. I've got dibs on the first. ~My~ husband and all."

"Yeah, you're right. That's selfish of me." Ari flicked a claw over her brother's new tip and smiled when he jerked. "Seems to be working. You two have a lot of time to make up. Have at it."

"Don't mind if I—"

"Actually... Adri?" Yoyo slewed his gaze over to Zoë hiding in another corner. "Would you mind if I give my faithful companion here a pick-meUp?"

"Zoë?" Dee checked on the depressed human as she practically cowered behind a chair. "If you think she's up for it, sure. I'd love to see some more life in the girl these days. Besides, it's ~your~ wonderful cock."

"Zoë, come over here."

The human hesitated a moment, then scurried to stand next to her patron and sign a reply. <Master?>

Yoyo sighed at the basic reply, then again as he noticed the scar on his vassal's throat. "You want to be the first to have sex with me? I'd think you might like that."

<Yes, as master wishes.> Zoë sat down on the bed next to Yoyo and spread her legs, her expression unwaveringly apathetic. <I am yours, master.>

"No, I don't mean... Damnit, Zoë." Yoyo closed the girl's thighs and sat her up. "I'm not doing this anymore. You don't owe me anything now. You already had my sons, for gods' sakes. That's... worth more than some contract."

<No, master. I... birth two. I am not worthy.> Again Zoë spread herself for her master, and again he shut her legs. <Master... must use me. Am I not liked by master?>

Yoyo wiped away the tears forming in Zoë's eyes and pulled her into his lap. "I saved you twice, and you gave me two heirs. Why won't you let me free you from our life debt now? I want you to be happy."

<Master... saved me again. Then [the letters A and D]...> Zoë drooped her head and averted her gaze. <~Masters~ do not let me die, so... master must use me. Please, use me.>

Yoyo shook his head at the human's rudimentary signing. "No, I refuse to do that. I only want to be intimate with you if you want it. I love you, and I hoped you loved me and Adri too. No, even if it's just for fun, it should be mutual... but we've had pups..." He took a deep breath to clear his head and rephrased his request into a direct question so Zoë would be forced to answer. "Do you or do you not want me to show my love for you, physically? Answer me, Zoë."

<I...> The human sulked as her upbringing and her feelings fought each other. When she came to a conclusion she spun toward her master, throwing a leg around his lap so they sat face to face. <I want to make love with master. I... owe master one child.>

"Zoë..."

<I...> The human reached between her legs and gripped her master's literally sparkling new manhood. <I love master and want to birth master one child. Other master, too. I want to... rear more... love more...>

"You really want to make love? To have another kid?" Yoyo lightly groaned as Zoë answered with a nod and a squeeze on his cock. "This isn't about your debt then? And please, don't lie to me. I'm serious."

Zoë ceased her sensual motions for a moment. <I want to make master happy. It makes me happy.> She raised her hips and tried lining Yoyo's manhood up with her pussy, but struggled with his new sheath. <I say this from me, not from... from 'owing'...>

"Then marry me. Marry ~us~. I consider your debt repaid, and that... would seal the deal. We could just be happy."

<I... wed?> Zoë's tears came back in style, bombarding her face with visual happiness. <Yes! I wed! But... I still honor 'owing' to you. I not feel right if I not try.>

"I... I can agree to that. It's important to you; I get it. We'll loosen the terms a bit, but I won't stop you entirely if the life debt contract gets fulfilled." Yoyo tried to figure out his sheath on his own, then called Ari over silently to help out. "We'll have a talk about it later. Right now, I want to—"

<Master must one promise. I not alright and children not alright if not.>

Ari quietly reached beneath the two and pulled back her brother's sheath until it was behind his knot, the bulb holding it back even deflated. "Thanks, Lulu... Okay, a promise? For family? No brainer; what should I do?"

<Promise... master make children into adults.> Zoë started blushing at the request, unfamiliar with asking her patron of anything much less this whopper. <Only when adults, they may be freed of 'owing' master. Master must make bond to then break.>

"So... I have to do the ritual I did with you and... make love to them?" Yoyo thought over those actions and their consequences. "I'm not against affection in the family, but... Well, they ~do~ seem old enough now. And I'm guessing because we're still bonded, I have to either add them to the contract or I'll be effectively rejecting them as future heirs? That sound right?"

Zoë nodded as she once again aligned her moist slit with her master's cock. <Yes. Master make children his too, or children must...>

"Yeah, they won't kill themselves. I wouldn't let that happen in any case. But if we call this a tradition, I'm all for keeping with it to make you happy." Yoyo nodded and let go of the human in his lap, allowing her to slide slowly down his length. "Gods... Fuck, that's sensitive..."

<I am good? Master promise?>

The otter grunted as Zoë bottomed herself out. "Yeah, I promise. Now make love to me, my soon-toBe mistress."

"I should hit you for asking her that without asking me first, you know." Adrian grinned as he pulled his own hard cock out to stop straining his tight pants. "I'm all for it, too. We're a family now. But... don't be surprised if I blow my wad in your face on principle."

"That's why I love you, babe. I'd have sucked your cock to get you to agree, but you're better than that." Yoyo smiled as he leaned back and let Zoë take over, the girl heaving herself up and dropping down roughly. "I can't believe you had twins, Zoë. You're so tight and perfect inside still."

Dee worked his paw over his length slowly, just trying to get into the mood more than anything else. "Yeah, she's just a small one. Saved me from losing my mind those few months."

"Fuck it." Ari whipped her sirat drapes to the side and pulled down the lip of her spats beneath. "If we're all gonna paw off, I'll show you how it's done."

"Says the girl that came running to her brother because she didn't know how to do it." Yoyo smiled apologetically to his twin, then focused on her as she rubbed one out. "Actually, you've gotten pretty good at that. Things okay with Rhy?"

"She's just unable to do much lately with the kids, like a week max. I'm a fast learner."

"Good... Ah... Good to hear. I like knowing you two—Ooh!—are alright." Yoyo sat more upright and played with Zoë's enormous tits. "Sorry, kiddo. I'm gonna pop already."

<Then finish!> Zoë quickened her pace, throwing a slight gyration into her hips as well. <Give me child!>

"Woah... Zoë, seriously? Give yourself a little break on the kids." Yoyo tried to lift Zoë up by her shoulders, but she fought back with all her weight. "I mean it, Zoë. I'm... Gods, I'm close. Get off me so I can cum on these tits..."

With a dissatisfied grunt the human stood just long enough to step back. <I taste it then, master.> She pulled her breasts together and knelt down, allowing her master to hit that golden stroke with his paws.

Iolvin jerked in place as he angled his new cock forward. In a split second he lost all ability to control his false limbs, followed immediately by about a liter of magenta cum rocketing out onto Zoë's chest, face, and hair. When he finally regained use of both his lungs and took a huge gasp of fresh air, Yoyo fell back limply with a large grin across his face.

"I don't... think I've cum like that... in my life..."

"Well you made about as much of a mess as I could have called normal." Adri smiled and gave his husband a kiss. "Not like you to let the other person go wanting though. Mind if I finish the job, Zoë?"

The human pushed Dee onto his back right next to Yoyo, then clambered atop his erection. <I am mistress now. I make love to both masters.>

"You don't need to if it's just—" Zoë dropped herself onto Dee with a huge smile, going right back where she left off with her first master. "Well fuck, you must really want it!"

"I think she assumes you'll pop quick and accidentally cum inside her." Yoyo's smile stretched wider as Zoë's coated face flustered with embarrassment. "You know what? Fuck it. It took a lot of tries to make the twins. Dump nuts inside her is she wants. She's free to make those decisions now."

<Master... is right on this?>

Yoyo heard his husband's telltale light huffs of pleasure, knowing it meant he was just about at his limit. "Yeah. Everyone has to agree or it isn't right. We're all free here." He groaned as he got to his hindpaws, then stood behind Zoë and pressed against her stuffed pussy. "Hope you're not too tight right now, kiddo."

"Oh, gods..." Dee felt as his husband joined him in Zoë's tight folds. "Fuck, I'm... I'm..."

"Do it, Adri." Yoyo shoved his still-inflated knot into Zoë's stretched lips, his husbands's motions helping pull him inside to a tie. "Shit... Yeah, cum for us babe."

"Gods...!" The smaller otter pulled Zoë down for a kiss as he erupted into her, only to find Yoyo leaning forward to make sure his knot was embedded deeply. He gave into the blissful feeling of that knot against his flagging cock, his thick tail jerking side to side as each heavy pulse of green cream shot into Zoë. "Mmm..." He barely noticed his face slathered with his husband's warm jizz as Zoë's chest smothered him, but send out a probing tongue to add to her building peak. "You definitely still taste the same, hon. Yum."

"How did I ever get so lucky?" Yoyo rocked his hips, easing his husband's manhood free of its tight confines. "Girly lesson for ya' there, Liv. Some guys love a swallower."

"Well besides actually liking your taste, I do ~happen~ to know it turns you on. Lights you up like a Christmas tree." Dee finished licking up a generous helping of cum, then turned to Olivia. "But don't let a guy pressure you into—"

"Ah, fuck! Drink it all! Fu~ck!" As if on cue, Ilaria started unleashing a torrent of her amber seed down Liv's gullet. "Fuck, you can suck a cock right. You sure I was your first?"

"Well someone's having more fun than we thought." Dee worked himself free of Zoë's pinning frame and joined Liv in lapping up the tailings of Ari's orgasm. "Mmm... You two even still taste the same. Liv, most guys taste like crap so savor this. Normally you're doing them a ~huge~ favor if you don't spit it out."

"D-Dad!? Aunt Ari!?" Themis opened the door to his room and barged out with his brother. "What are you doing!? What was that screaming!?"

"Mom!" Phoebe rushed over to his mother and frowned with confused rage at Iolvin. "What are you doing to mom!? You're hurting her!"

"What? I... Gods... I'm just..."

"Boys, calm down." Adri sighed and gave Ari's leg a pat before he sat next to his sons. "I'm sorry you had to find out like this, Pho. We thought you were out playing with Rose."

"What? We had to rest in our tent." Em sat down by his brother and stared at his parents' copulation. "Are you sure mom's alright? She looks like she hurts."

"No, that's just how this kind of makes people look. She's fine."

"Ah!" Zoë let out a weak scream as Yoyo's manhood started growing inside her enough to press past her cervix. "Eh... Hah..."

"Okay, some parts of it ~can~ hurt even if they don't need to." Dee leaned in and gave Zoë a lick on the cheek. "But on the plus side, I think that's the first sound you've made in months, Zoë."

"Dad... ~what~ are they doing?" Pho swallowed harshly as he watched his sweating mother roll her eyes back into her head. "Can't they stop it? It doesn't look nice."

"Honestly, it's maybe the best feeling in the world. It feels so good your mother can't control herself." Dee pushed his husband lightly and he fell to his side, dragging Zoë along but never once slowing his shallow thrusting. "See how they're connected here? Your mother and father are having 'sex'. That's when you put your penis inside someone's vagina, to keep it simple."

"So that's what Fleu—" Em shut his mouth not wanting to incriminate his friends on accident. "This is sex, then?"

"But why?" Pho leaned in close and got a better look. "Does it really feel that good? It looks like it doesn't... belong there..."

"That's because your father has a knot, and a damned huge one at that. Some species may have a knot if their genetics are pure enough. That allows them to tie with a partner so they stay together during and after sex." Dee rubbed Zoë's belly and felt Yoyo's cock faintly pulsing away. "Lots of people like to tie, and a lot also don't. You don't need to worry much about that for now though, since you don't have knots. Oh, you're close hon?"

"Gonna... blow..."

"Watch closely, boys. Your father is about to have an orgasm. That's when you feel so good during sex that you... can't feel any better. A woman can have quite a few if done right, and men like your father might have a few in some cases." Dee smiled as his husband reached his peak quietly, appreciating that he was giving a lesson. "Here it is. See how his penis is pulsing? When men orgasm, they release semen that fills the woman up inside. If they're lucky or she's in heat, they'll create a baby that way."

"So... sex is for making babies?" Themis pulled up his camera and snapped a pawful of photos, switching to video mode when his mother's belly began expanding. "What's that happening?"

"Well, your father is very excited to finally have sex with your mother so he's making a lot of semen. Most furs only make a little, but he's making too much for your mother's vagina to handle."

"Why didn't he just have sex sooner?" Pho placed a paw on Zoë's tummy with his father's and felt the cum sloshing around inside her. "It looks like it hurts h—"

"Ah!" Zoë's own bubble burst out of control as the pressure inside her crushed her G-spot. "Nn... Mnm... Ah..."

Dee preemptively held up a paw. "That was your mother orgasming. She's really needed that too, so let her ~enjoy~ it." The otter had a fun idea that came to mind that would illustrate a point. He grabbed the base of his husband's prosthetic cock and twisted, freeing Zoë from his crotch. The action also unexpectedly opened a pathway for all of Yoyo's cum to flow back out where it came under pressure to dirty the sheets. "Huh. Well, good enough. You see, boys, your father lost his penis in his accident. We just found a way to give him a fake one today."

Themis took a picture of the rapidly deflating dildo plugging his mom, capturing the stream of cum that fountained out perfectly. "Wow..."

Phoebe went a bit further and grabbed the base of the knot to test how securely it fit. "Oh, she really is stuck. Good thing dad's penis comes off. Right?"

"Except for the mess, yeah. A knot is normally supposed to keep the sperm inside for a better chance of making a baby." Dee reached into the hot stream of cum and then licked his paw, not even once assuming his two boys would then follow suit with pleased faces. "I was just telling Olivia here that your father is one of the rare few who's sperm tastes good. Be glad your first taste was nice because it's usually bitter."

"How much cock have you sucked before mine, exactly? Huh, dear?"

"Enough to know." Dee rolled his eyes for his husband and tended his children first. "Now boys, do you understand what I've explained here?"

Themis tried pulling the knot himself, then answered his father. "Yeah, sex is putting your penis inside someone like this."

"And it feels really good." Phoebe licked his paw again, then offered a fresh coating to his quivering mother. "Can we try?"

"Not right now, sweetie. You're old enough to do this, but I think it's best if your father and I teach you some more first." Dee slid over to the nightstand and pulled out a condom. "The most important is how to protect yourself from getting sick or making babies. The two of you are too young for children of your own, and they're a huge responsibility that you absolutely can't neglect."

"But—"

Iolvin reached out and placed a paw on each son's shoulder. "Guys, please don't try any of this out. It looks fun, and it really is, but if you don't do it safely it'll make your whole lives a lot less fun." He looked to Zoë as she panted and leaked, giving her a nod as he made good on his promise. "I'll have sex with you to show you both how it's done later, once we've gotten more rest. After that, we'll leave you to try what you want on your own as long as you're safe about it. Alright?"

Both boys hesitated before simultaneously answering, "Yeah, dad."

"So, who's ready to bang their heads against this again?" Ilaria took up her spot at the back of the ready room once more, pulling up the same images on the hologram projector as where the discussion last paused. "We need to come away from one of these sessions with something to at least test. Nothing's far fetched enough to be invalid, so speak up."

One of Dee's engineers, a lemur, spoke first. "Alright. Then why don't you start by explaining her?"

"Uh... Yeah, I guess that's as good a point as any, Greg. Let's see..." Ari tried to quickly determine which of the lies she'd been concocting sounded the most credible as she waved a paw over the ship's new stowaway. "This version of Rose fought on behalf of the Sect of Xor. She was... abandoned by them when defeated, and she's since had a change of heart. She's also a bit out of sync with reality, though. She hasn't transitioned sides perfectly well."

"Okay, but why is she here?"

"On this ship, in our universe?... Asylum. We gave her a pass, but she needed reverse-conditioning so we kept her isolated." Ari walked back to the projector and hinted for the girl to take a look before her overly-detailed explanation was questioned. "In this room though? She saw a lot of stuff visiting her evil overlords, and I'm hoping she and that living computer in her head might be able to shed some light on these maps."

"Oh, okay. Your stars are a bit off, for starters." The de-fanged plant walked directly into the hologram and pointed at the guesstimated location of the black hole. "And it's close to blasphemy to have the location of Xor so wrong."

"Xor? You mean... your god or whatever?" Ari squinted her eyes at the details before remembering she could just scale up the image. "Your god is a person, alive somewhere?"

"Hells no. Xor is... Xor. He embraces us all from the heavens." The formerly-evil clone touched a control panel and slowly figured out how to create a new marker. "This is where Xor shines his dark light. All whom he touches must bow before his might. Well, rough translation anyway."

"That's... somehow familiar." Carbon shook her head, trying to place where he'd heard that phrase without much success. "Something tells me it was a children's folk song."

"And those are usually reserved for warnings and teaching lessons." Iolvin finally found a reason to add his own anthropology expertize into the mix. "There's almost always a pretty dark truth behind those sorts of songs. Maybe this was a warning about the black hole?"

"Maybe. If Yangurrar is closer to it, they'd have known much sooner than we found out for sure. It goes to stand they'd pass that knowledge down somehow." Ari scaled the map down slightly and waved her paw before the former enemy. "Rose, could you please update this star map with whatever you know? Planets... Fleet locations... Anything at all could help us determine a game plan."

"Sure thing. I think Chryssy gets this system now, so she'll do it in a jiffy." Sure enough, the alien slowly stopped using her hands for input and let her symbiote take over. "There's a lot missing here. Your world does seem to have less advanced void-faring technology than mine though."

Rose Prime caught a hint of confusion directed towards her and spoke up. "My veile's name is Chrysanthemum. I call her Cryssy."

"I was wondering what she was talking about. I thought only Carbon and Eve could do that with—" Ilaria immediately shut her muzzle once she heard herself speak a ghost's name. "Sorry, Carbon."

"No, it's alright. It was a valid example." Carbon sat up in her wheelchair and fought back a bad cough in her mask. "Don't worry about that. I miss her, but I've also sort of come to terms with Eve not being here... mostly."

"Still... Sorry." Ari sighed as she placed her attention back on the star map. "Oh, crap. You don't waste time, do you?"

"I'm sure there some stuff we're missing, but there's a lot alright." The foreign Rose highlighted a bunch of added locations in differing colors. "There's a lot of planets here in this 'blue' color. I've made the ones worth colonizing... 'green'? Wow, are those really fifteen percent apart in your vision? Crazy."

Carbon fielded this one. "I can actually see ~inside~ you guys right now. I think Eve said we can see from gamma rays through to microwaves. It actually sucks more than you'd expect from super-vision, especially when everything around you is so heavy on the rainbow spectrum."

"Huh. The more you know." Ari checked through the dots littering her volumetric map and highlighted a few green-colored stars. "So if there's habitable planets in these systems, there's a good chance of things like water. Right?"

"Habitable? No, they're all habitable. Why list the others?" One of the stars scaled up entirely to show a virtual planetary system. "No, there's supposed to be a colony on the green ones. This one is on the second of five planets, see?"

Alex leaned back in her chair and put her feet on the table, only to remove them once they disrupted the hologram. "Well I guess that solves our ballast problem, then."

Ari confirmed, "Yeah, the tasteless food too. But best of all it gives us a path to the black hole. To, eh... to Xor."

Adrian raised a paw in concern at the refocusing on Xor. "So how exactly does she have this information? Like..." He stood and walked over to the hologram, then zoomed out a bit to show stars again. "The Yangurrans... Or, ah... Yangurra...?"

"Yangurraa. Long, doubled vowels at the end for plurals. Should technically be Yangurraar to imply things coming from the planet, but for some reason someone decided the people created the planet instead so they're swapped. The stars probably rotated around the planet back then." Carbon shrugged her shoulders and waved her paw back to the screen. "Sorry for the lesson. I didn't make up the language, I just speak it. Call it what you like and continue, please."

"Huh. Well... The Yangurraa knew about the black hole and ~somehow~ made it out here. What's stopping them from going towards the black hole instead, since it would be easier and all?"

"Well that I'm not entirely clear on myself." Rose's doppleganger brought up the binary star system that housed Yangurrar and sighed as she fought with the details. "I do know this though: They have indeed been to Xor, your so-called 'black hole'. They plan on feeding their god so he may overpower Gaia. They want to prove Xor is the only true god."

Ari scrunched her eyes at that proposition. "How do you 'feed' a black hole?"

"Oxydium. The Sect members on Earth were gathering and stealing oxydium left and right." Dee brought up his calculations from their last battle and the oxydium-related oddities. "That makes sense now. The gravitational disturbances we were noticing... Ari, I think oxydium might also ~expand~ existing black holes."

"Well we already know we can create a singularity with the stuff..."

"Yeah, but you know how the enemy reactor was suddenly extremely massive? I think that if it were somehow stabilized it would evolve into another state of matter beyond a plasma. And what do you know that's made of almost pure plasma?"

"Stars." Ilaria quickly caught onto Adrian's thread of thought. "So they plan on making artificial supernovas, then using the resulting black holes to enlarge the Xor one?"

"More like absorb their entropy before they form." Carbon grumbled out a very defeated, "And that's how you feed a black hole."

"So how do we fix that?"

Ilaria's girls stepped in to answer her question. <Gravitation singularities are just wormholes with no exit point in known space. Our dives... basically exit into other space, in another universe.> Chelle reached out to point at a few numbers as Mik worked the controls. <If we create another wormhole with a discrete exit inside the first, we might be able to redirect the flow enough to taper it off and break the connection. Without an exit point, the energy in our system has nowhere to go. No flow, no black hole.>

"Yes. That isn't too shabby, ladies." Carbon nodded at the notions the twins were bringing forth. "The connection between universes is then a lot like a vacuum, but instead of atmospheric pressure imbalances it's entropy that's offset. If we create a strong enough seal with another portal, we should be able to shift the direction of that flow or even stop it." Carbon stopped her scientific rant when she noticed her girlfriend's heart was beating faster in flustered confusion. "We should be able to test this with their portals. That's what I'm trying to say."

"I think we have a plan. I like a good plan." Ilaria sighed as she looked to her girls and found the extra-universal Rose glomming onto her captors. "My whelps, try to verify this... outside the ship if possible. Meanwhile I think we've at least got a destination."

Iolvin tilted his head as he tried his best to follow the whole later half of the conversation, faring only a hair better than Sydney. "We do? Did we come to a conclusion, or...?"

Ilaria smiled and headed out towards her captain's console on the bridge. "Well, I do hear Yangurra's nice this time of year."
