an endless voyage continued ch 20 Xian Experiment
Imported from SF2 with no description.
Tom and Hank didnt get any sleep that night. It was morning before Tom finally finished anal-loving Grace, and when he finally pulled out, Grace ran around in circles, leaking squirts of brown tinged lube and cum as she did her 'orgasm dance'.
When she finally stopped running around, Grace flagged for Hank, and Tom encouraged him to give her what she wants. Reluctantly he agreed.
Being used to smaller girls, Hank mounted Grace easily, gently but firmly shoving his lube-slicked cock up her butt in one stroke. Once he was hilted he started humping right away.
Tom cleaned his cock off with a hand then licked his hand clean, re-lubed his rapidly stiffening erection and went to hump May again while Hank had some fun with Grace.
Unfortunately neither of them had time to finish, as they were just getting going good when Dawson announced "Sensor contact, bearing 070 mark 122, hull configuration matches an Xian Heavy Dreadnought."
Tom was first to pull out, and hastily got dressed as he ordered "Red alert shields up arm all weapons and polarize the hull."
Hank pulled out of Grace at that moment, working quickly to dress before taking the helm.
Grace looked back questioningly, then stood up and started for the door. She was headed for the girls' bathroom, but didnt make it ten paces before she squatted, arched her short little tail, and expelled everything right there. May was quick to clean it up and then lick Grace clean however.
Tom helped Grace up onto his lap, and focused on the tiny dot on the main window/viewscreen quickly growing bigger.
"Attack vector Maya 2 Alpha." he said. "Order the earthships to do the same."
"Aye sir." The officers replied in unison. then Bill added. "Weapons range in 50 seconds sir."
"Good." Tom said. He pressed a button on his chair. "Lauch fighters." then returned his attention to the ship on the screen."
The lights dimmed momentarily as the XR lasers charged, and the shields came up to full power.
"Still no sign they have detected us...."Dawson began."Wait...Enemy vessel is coming about, sir."
"War emergency power." Tom said ." Weapons free, all weapons fire at will."
"Aye sir." Bill replied.
The ship shook from the recoil as the huge 80" autocannons thundered to life. Their hulking metal slugs sped toward the Xian ship, and were joined by the flare of missiles and torpedoes, and the blue-white hot beams of XR heavy lasers all lancing out toward the long pointy Xian vessel.
The barrage was joined by autocannon and railgun fire from the Jackson and the Lee as well.
The Xian ship launced a retaliatory barrage of its own. The two ships' munitions passed eachother in the void of space, and for an instant it felt like time slowed to a crawl. Both ships banked and accelerated in an effort to avoid the oncoming fire...and then an instant later the weapons struck home.
Excalibur shook hard, the shields cackling with electricity and the lights flickering as the impacts were absorbed. Everyone on the bridge watched the weapons hit the Xians.
"Shields holding at 95 percent sir." Bill announced.
"Evasive Maya 7 Tango, keep firing." Tom ordered.
"We caught them with their shields down sir." Dawson said. "The first few dozen autocannon shells got through opening breeches in their hull, port side, midsection."
"target all weapons on that point." Tom ordered. "Relay the targeting data to the other ships, and bring us about for a broadside."
"Aye sir." came the replies, as the crew went to work.
............
The battle outside was going well. The Xians had a fair share of good fighter pilots, but they were no match for the superior training and tactics of the pilots from Maya's fleet. Granted the human pilots couldn't handle as many g-s as their mammilian counterparts would have been able to, but seeing as the Xians were even less tolerant of the stressess excessife g-forces put on the body it hardly mattered.
"Excalibur, Kelly." the lead pilot said on comms, "we're through the swarm, setting up attack run for targets hyperdrive."
"Kelly, Excalibur." Tom replied "Proceed as planned."
"Ok." Kelly said on squadron comms, as she punched the throttles up to full afterburner. "Dale, George, on me, Kaci watch our six...lets punch it."
The other pilots acknowledged the orders and they all accelerated, leaving the bulk of the squadron behind as they sped toward the Xian ship.
The pilots banked and rolled, evading the Xian vessel's close-in armaments, autocannons firing grapeshot rounds, and anti-air missiles, but that was the easy part. the tricky part came in using their fighters' jump drives, a really stripped down hyperspace window generator, to make a 1 milisecond jump to bypass the enemy's shields. It was a tactic Ashley had invented long ago, risky, but effective. There was absolutely no margin for error. drop out too early and they'd emerge partially through the shield bubble and the energy would cut their fighters in two where the barrier transected them. drop out too late and they'd crash into the enemy's hull.
Fortunately their timing was perfect, and moments later they'd hit their targets, and jumped clear of the enemy's shields to rejoin the fray once more.
...........................
The enemy's hyperdrive had been disabled, but the ship kept firing. Excalibur's shields were down to 80 percent, and the Lee and the Jackson were making another attack run. they had roughly 70% shields but being smaller and more maneuverable they also took a lot less hits. The Jackson's main cannon was fully charged, and with the Lee providing cover, they lined up the shot, and Mike gave the order that drilled through the Xians' shields, and ignited their deuterium tanks.
A line of explosions rippled down the length of the Xian ship's hull, and an instant later the whole ship exploded in a massive fireball as bright as a small sun. It lasted only a moment, but it was so bright everyone instinctively shut their eyes even as the helmsmans' hands worked to accelerate clear of the oncoming shockwave.
All four ships still caught the tail end of the blast wave, which drained more power from their shields, and caused a few overloads in secondary systems. thankfully no real damage however.
The fighter pilots were still busy mopping up the rest of the fighters, but already Dawson had made an important discovery.
""Sir we have a problem." he said. "We thought the radiation would begin to subside when we destroyed the ship seeding the anomalie field, but it isn't. not quickly as we needed it to anyway. worse, the anomalie field is growing. at this rate it would take three years to cross it at sub-light speed. "
"We'll have to use the hyperdrive." Tom said. He pressed a button on his chair. "Engineering, I need you to figure out how to open a stable hyperspace window within the anomalie field."
"Understood sir." Larry replied.
"Sir we can't." Bill said. "Tina said we couldn't form a stable hyperspace window in here."
"She said it would be dangerous and extremely difficult." Maxine corrected.
"We have to try." Hank agreed.
"Ok nearly impossible." Dawson said. "She said the engines could get torn from the hull, the ship ripped apart or crushed like a beer can." he paused "that said, I admit I don't see any other option. I dont want to spend three years crossing this thing."
Moments later Larry commed the bridge. "Engineering to bridge, try it." he said.
"Hank get us out of here." Tom said. "Bearing 113 marl 022, 20% power should do it."
"Course set." Hank said. "Here goes nothing." He flipped the switch to engage the hyperdrive. There was a flash as the hyperspace window started to form, but instead of accelerating the ship, it swirled and faltered, and Hank put the helm hard over to avoid it.
"Singularity is beginning to form." Dawson shouted.
"Shut it down." Tom ordered. "Engineering!"
"Got it." Hank said. and the singularity collapsed in on itself harmlessly fading away.
"Sorry sir." Larry reported. "Looks like this is going to take a while."
"Understood." Tom replied. "Do your best, Bridge out."
.........................................
Since they currently didnt need to use the transporters, Tom had sent Jason to help Larry in engineering, hoping to speed up the process of figuring out how to make the hyperdrive work inside the anomalie field.
Jason brought Melennia with him. Melennia seemed just as feral as the rest of the mammilian crew, she was mostly human in appearance, aside from her collie ears and tail, and canine genitals and anus. She was one of Belle's pups. Memennia seemed more interested in getting humped than helping with the engines, but nonetheless Jason had brought her along.
"Willie, Remodulate those field stabilizers." Larry called out "Jason get over here and monitor the power feed while I recalibrate the hyperspace generator matrix."
They set to work despite Melennia constantly flagging them and backing her rump against them, grinding her estrus swollen honeysoaked canine vulva against them, desparate to be ridden."
"Melennia focus!" Larry shouted. "I dont know if you can understand me, but we need your help. I'm trying to open a hyperspace window inside the anomalie field but the last time we tried it destabilized into a singularity. luckily we were able to shut it down."
"S-superconductive...elements....r-recalibrate....c-core....matrix.... " Melennia managed to growl-speak..."Gravitic....flux....phase-shift...reverse...3...terahertz." she struggled "3 teraherts.....inverse....o-of...anomalie...resonance...flux." she panted heavily drooling all over the floor "now...pups....give...me...pups..."
"Sorry Melennia I dont do girls." Larry said. "You sure about that resonance flux calibration."
"Y-yes...reverse...3 terahertz" Melennia repeated.
THe engineers did their best to ignore Melennia's attempts to solicit sex, working to focus on making the necessary adjustments as quickly as possible.
Larry double-checked and triple checked everything. He wanted to be sure it would work before comming the bridge.
"A-anal then..." Melennia pleaded."Please...I nedd....hump me....please!"
Larry walked past her and pushed the comm button. "Bridge, we're ready to try again."
"Acknowledged." Tom replied.
.......................
Larry sent Jason to the bridge with a datapad containing the adjustments, and Maxine transmitted the adjustments to the other ships. Finally she said. "Sir, all ships acknowledge they recieved our databurst, and have modified their engines accordingly. They will follow our lead."
"Good." Tom said. "Hank, let's try that again."
"Aye sir, sourse set, engaging hyperdrive." Hank said. He flipped the switch to engage the hyperdrive, and this time it worked. the window was a little unstable but well within tolerances, and in an instant they were treated to a view of the all too familiar swirling neon sea of hyperspace.
"all ships present and accounted for sir." Dawson said. "We'll be out of the anomalie field in twenty seconds."
"Understood." Tom said. "Maintain course and speed."
After that Tom sent Jason to Engineering with orders to give Melennia the relief she needed, and focused his attention on the reports coming in. Doc Grayden reported it would be several hours before the crew recovered full higher brain function, but all those in heat would remain in heat for the full duration of a normal estrus cycle. Some of the crew could take as much as 24 hours to fully recover their mental function.
The rest of the day was largely uneventful, and when she had recovered her mental function, Maya agreed Tom should remain in command until morning as he had handled the experience well, and she had a lot to get sorted out. Before turning in for the night, Tom had met with Tina discussing the engine recalibration, and then he went to talk to Larry.
"Tina seemed pretty pissed about those modifications." Larry pointed out.
"Yeah she said she dont know who did more damage, you or the anomalie field." Tom said. "But she also said your solution was 'crude but effective' coming from her, that's high praise."
"Well Melennia deserves some of the credit." Larry said. "I never would have thought to remodulate the core matrix like that."
"Yeah I heard." Tom said. "Nice work though. "
....................................................................................................................
The next morning, Tom transferred command back to Maya, and things had begun to return to normal. It was a bit awkward at breakfast when Grace climbed up on the table and shoved a muzzleful of partially-chewed breakfast sausage into his mouth as she kissed him, but nonetheless he accepted and swallowed the food as well as returning the kiss. When Grace got back in her seat, Tom noticed karen watching them. He did his best not to meet the spaniel's gaze, focusing on his food instead, trying to hide his embarassment. Unfortunately Maya didnt make things easy for him. "What's that 'bourt?" she asked.
"She came to the bridge...during the time the radiation affected all of you." Tom said. "Things happened....she wouldn't take no for an answer...I'm sorry."
"Don't be." Karen said. "You love her, don't you?"
"Of course." Tom replied. "I just didnt want you to think I took advantage of her feral state of mind or anything."
"Don't worry." Karen said. "I doubt she would have given you any choice...I know I wouldn't have if I had been on the bridge."
"Yeah but we had a lot a fun ourselves." Maya said.
"We certainly did." Karen agreed. "We should do that again soon."
"Yeah, thats fer sure." Maya agreed.
"You remember what went on?" Hank asked them curious.
"Course we do." Maya said. "Lahk it jus happened this mornin."
"We all remember." Callie added.
"Shure was a lot a' fun>" May agreed
"Yeah." Grace said. "Especially the tailhole loving I recieved, and getting to snuggle up in your lap naked while we fought the dick-heads, uncle Tom."
"Your butt feels amazing, princess." Tom replied. "Your honeypie is wonderful too."
"Are ya pregnant?" May asked. "Ah am."
"Yes." Grace replied. "Doc Natalie checked me befoore breakfast today."
"Never thought I'd be a grandpa at my age." Hank said with a laugh. "But then again a few years ago I wouldn't have believed penis-headed aliens would try to conquer the universe either." he paused then. "I'm glad it was you Tom. I know you'll treat my little princess right."
"Yeah me too." Karen said. "I know she will be happy." she paused to eat another bite of sausage, then "Come by the transporter room after lunch and bring the butt lube, bring a small canine vaginal speculum and some toys so you can play with my peehole while you hump my butt too."
"Sure thing." Tom said with a smile.
