It was several days till we were given the all clear to leave the room, sadly I was weakened badly and would wear out quickly even while walking. Master was patient with me, walking slowly, never pulling on my leash and if I needed to stop he would be right there waiting for me to recover. I had been given a clean bill of health from Dr. Kay, however the damage had been done and I could sometimes feel my heart racing for no reason at all within my chest.

We sat in the audience chamber waiting for the one and only item of the day. Master's brother was even present, sitting the opposite side of the Emperor to me on the dais which surprised me. He had openly admitted at lunch the day previous he hated to be at these events. When I asked master however he told me he was here to offer support to both him and myself. The attempt had shaken him as much as it had shaken master and he was just as determined to see the guilty parties brought to justice.

I had an ample supply of electrolyte rich water next to me at my Master's and Doctor's order. Master seemed to be agitated, irate about today's event, the crowd uneasy due to his unease showing just how their Emperors mood effected the people. There was murmuring around the room, mainly about what was going on and why I looked like I would scare small children. Master ignored them, reading something on a holographic display in front of him and every now and then he would look at me worriedly. My smile was usually enough to reassure him that I was ok but it didn't seem to be working as well as it had ten minutes before.

“Can't believe this happened," Reon said to his brother as he took a sip of his tea in what I could only describe was an angry way “If they can get to you and David, how safe am I or my boys?"

“Calm yourself brother," Master told him “You and your boys are safe, you never expose yourself in the public eye in the ways I do. No one would ever have a reason to go after you. Regardless, they would be dealt with in the same way." He seemed unaffected or insulted by his brothers self centered view but then one couldn't blame him. He had eight boys in his 'family' he had to look out for. It was more a harem if one was to be honest but he treated them like they were his family and that was all that counted in the end.

The main doors opened with a rumble and Master waved off his holographic display. The room went so quiet one could possibly hear a pin drop as in walked Joka and an armed escort. Directly behind Joka and surrounded by the security team was a Lioness who seemed like she was more of a princess than a petty criminal and next to her was a chameleon. The chameleon had bright blue scales covering most of his body with some darker blue swirls randomly on his torso and his belly and chest were a slightly lighter shade. The spikes on his head and down his back were a golden yellow colour and he had four bands of the same colour on his tail.

He was an electro-scale sub breed, his colouration explaining it as plainly as the simple loincloth he wore showed he was part of the assassins guild due to the logo emblazoned plainly on it for all to see. Electro-scale's were immune to all by the strongest of shocks and could scale most walls with ease making them perfect for engineering tasks. If I had to be perfectly honest he looked younger than me and had an odd attractiveness to him I couldn't deny. Saying I didn't find him cute would have been a bold faced lie.

As they walked forward, he seemed quite uncomfortable and fearful, trying to stay close to the security detail like it was his only salvation. She however was projecting an air of confidence so strong it was painful to watch and would appear forced if she didn't pull it off so effortlessly. They stopped before us, the security detail pulling back to allow them to stand on their own and master growled softly.

“I should have known you would be involved somehow," the regal lion said looking on in disdain at the lioness before him “Jezebel Kamale, I did wonder why I hadn't had a summons for a ball or dinner lately. Did my last refusal of your wedding propositions hit a nerve? It was fairly public I will admit, however you left me few other options, that had been your forty second proposal to me. You are quite persistent I will admit, pity you never put that energy to better uses. However the assassination attempt strikes me as odd, a big step going from being simply rejected to hiring an assassin. An especially big one if that assassin is going after me. Give up on proposing? Decided if you can't have me then no one can?"

“Hmmf, as if," she retorted snobbishly “I will get you to accept my proposal one day my sweet vanilla cream puff." there was a small chortle around the room, either at the nickname or just at her and the fact she was proving herself to be a bigger pain to the Emperor than she rightfully should be.

“Really now?" he asked leaning back in his chair “I shall have to disappoint you time and time again then, as I stated last time, I have no interest in you. If I did I wouldn't be showing the wisdom expected of an Emperor. However that does peak my curiosity, who were you really aiming for if not me?"

“As if you have to ask" she said, again snobbishly and she then motioned with her nose towards me “That was the target, I knew the moment I saw it at your side what you would be doing! How dare you snub MY professions of love for a mere slave!? I mean just look at that thing! You would rather have a lowly, ugly human slave by your side over me?"

“Your disdain for my slave aside, you openly admit your guilt?" Master asked surprising me by being calm and relaxed. I could almost feel the rage rolling around inside of him at her words but he didn't portray any of it at all. This scared me more than if he had roared directly into my face, sharp teeth and claws exposed and ready to rip my head off with what would be simple ease for him.

“Admit it? I'm proud of it! Typical male, clearly no brains at all when it comes to a woman," she said putting her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes “When I become your wife I want no filthy slaves polluting my presence! So of course I tried to get rid of it! Not just for your public image but my own future one!" Master smiled standing up and straightened his clothing while his brother just chuckled softly, one hand covering his face probably thinking the same thing that I and his brother were 'How dense is she?'.

“Thank you for making this easy, I had thought you of a reasonable level of intelligence but you again prove me wrong, you haven't even tried to say you are being framed," he says then motions for Joka who promptly gags her and pulls her to one side despite her squirming and protesting, he held her in an iron grip that showed no sign of relenting any time soon. “Now, young assassin... or may I call you Mr Amadio? As I am sure you are undoubtedly aware, the guild has sworn an allegiance to the crown. You see, to prevent me from erasing the guild from existence after the last war, an agreement was made that no royal target may be undertaken by any member with the obvious punishment of death for treason to any who do. However I am a reasonable ruler, so I will permit you to explain why you attempted this mission despite the obvious fact it goes against the Assassins guild treaties."

“I'm sorry my lord," the lizard started, grovelling a little “I was told by Lady Kamale that the target was merely a slave who happened to be in your care and belonged to a rival household. I did not see the slave mark on his shoulder denoting that he was royal property until it was too late and you were retreating. As your guards can hopefully vouch, I surrendered myself willingly with no competition and exposed my employer upon capture. I throw myself at your mercy my emperor and humbly beg your forgiveness for my most grievance mistake." Master looked at Joka who simply nodded to confirm that the lizard was telling the truth.

“I will accept your apology, however, punishment must still be dealt out. You seriously injured my slave and nearly killed him if not for the swift and expert medical care provided." master said firmly “Mr Amadio, for your involvement in the attempted assassination of royal slave, David Ursus, my personal slave, is Death for treason. However, in light of your plea and the simple fact that the assignment did not provide you all of the required information on your target, the sentence of death is commuted. You are hereby to be stripped of your citizenship and enrolment in the assassins guild immediately and reduced to a slave. You shall be sold to the highest bidder in an auction that will take place at a future date decided upon at my discretion." the lizard look down hearted but simply nodded.

“Thank you my liege for your kindness. I shall accept my fate with grace." he said bowing and took a step back. A guard stepped forward to place a collar and leash around his neck but he made no fuss, even holding his neck out to make it easier. Master nodded and smiled a little before then frowning and turning to the Lioness. He waved her forward and her gag was removed before she was made to step forward. She stood like she was she was ready for a simple slap on the wrist, hand on her hip and a high and mighty expression on her face while twirling her hair with her other hand. She seemed to believe whole heartedly that she was immune to the laws and a scolding was the best she would get.

“Lady Jezebel Kamale, for your part, lack of guilt and open confession that was heard by all witnesses in this room today. Your punishment for the attempted assassination of my slave, a royal target despite his rank as a slave, is death via public execution." he pronounced and she froze instantly but that shock quickly turned to rage, teeth showing she stamped one foot like a teenage child having a tantrum.

“I am daughter to Lord Kamale! Head of the Kamale household, second highest seat of the royal households!" she screamed shrilly, a sound that hurt my ears and she growled loudly “I am a noblewoman! I cannot be sentenced to death!"

“On the contrary I'm afraid, you can and have." Reon cut her off and Master gave a slightly annoyed rumble but merely gave him a look.

“You decided to commit treason against the crown by ordering the assassination of my slave. You surely were taught the laws of the Empire, the punishment for treason against the crown is public execution, even a slave knows that. Isn't that right David?" he said gesturing to me but kept his amused yet angered gaze on her.

“Yes master, you are correct. I believe it was law thirteen beta five under the slavery laws, clause four alpha nine." I answered and nodded in agreement. I most certainly knew that, most children knew that, yet somehow this 'noblewoman' didn't. Prince Reon smiled at me impressed I knew it that well and I saw the Emperors tail wag just slightly to show he was equally impressed.

“Did you truly believe your place in the empires social order would save you from this?" he asked her but gave her no time to answer “That your daddy would sweep in to rescue you? Even he has his limits you petulant child, it is time that you finally faced the consequences behind your actions. Your sentence is public execution, it shall take place on this ship above your home planet. It will also be fully televised to the empire to see what happens when you forget the laws that even I am not above. The Auction of now slave Amadio shall take place either before or after your death, I am yet to decide. However, in interest of his safety, members of the Assassins guild and Kamale household shall be excluded from participation in the bidding and he will be given royal protection to prevent any misfortunes after his purchase." I was surprised by this addition and it was apparent most of the room was as well. He would be immune to all assassination attempts just as I should be and I didn't get quite why.

“As Emperor I am responsible for the consequences of my own actions and his protection now is one such responsibility. Guards, please escort Slave Amadio to Medical bay three where he is to be fitted out with the standard slave attire. He also shall remain there till the auction where he will learn what will be expected of him. Joka, please escort Jezebel to the most uncomfortable brig we have on board, where she shall remain until her execution." Master finally finished. He seemed to be relaxed a bit now like a weight was off his shoulder.

“My lord, what shall be the method?" one audience member, a wolf asked as Joka stepped forward to grab the Lioness. He appeared to me to be a member of press clearly trying to document everything for distribution to the empire.

“We shall be using the law set method of death via suffocating bite," he announced coldly almost like he is taking no pleasure in the decision at all “Till then, today's session of state is hereby concluded, thank you all for attending. I hope the rest of your day is a pleasant day." the whole room bowed with exception of Lady Kamale and began to file out, in the lionesses case, dragged out kicking and screaming into a gag.

Master sighed as we sat waiting for the last course of lunch to be served. He seemed quite depressed about today's events and I was worried about him. It had to be hard to order the death of anyone and I found myself grateful I never had to make such an order in my time running the colony.

“I must apologise to you David," he finally says gustily just after the course was served and the waiters had left the room “I am afraid we cannot see the restoration of your home through to the end as I had planned. I have sent them as large a shipment of supplies that I can but sadly we must depart for the home of the Kamale family. It will take a while to reach via space jumps with a minimum of possibly two jumps, maybe three. I would like to get this unpleasant business over and done with as soon as possible. Hopefully the latest supplies will last till the first trade shipment has arrived."

“Master... you don't need to apologise to me... I knew my time in orbit would be limited," I told him with a smile “We spent as long as we could here and even I know that one small colony can't keep your time monopolised. You have done what you came here to do and have filled the agreement you made to me as a civilian well beyond what I had hoped or dreamed for." he smiled and gave a soft purr.

“As long as you understand, then that is all I could hope for, eat up, we shall need to head to the bridge after we are done here to set course." He told me and I nodded digging into my bowl of ice-cream. The walk to the bridge afterwards was surprisingly short, down a short hall to a turbo-lift and then direct to the bridge.

“EMPEROR ON DECK!" came the call from an officer on the bridge as the doors opened and we stepped out. Everyone on the bridge stopped to salute and he saluted back making them return to their duties.

The bridge was large, a wide station at the front for the navigation officer and two stations behind it. There were science stations, engineering stations and more lining the walls either side. The captain sat in the middle with two seats either side of him for his first officer and a spare one.

“Captain Markeus, set course for Planet Thar and make preparations to engage jump engines." Master said walking over to take the captain's seat. He clipped my leash to a hook on the back of It and made sure I was ok before returning his gaze forward.

“Yes sir," the Captain, a dragon, responded respectfully. Dragons were a rare species and most stayed on their home planet. They were usually exceptional officers and often quickly rose to high ranks due to their skill and tenacity in the field. “Helm, prepare to break orbit, tower crew alert docking bays to close all bay doors and secure all ship moorings. Station one begin course calculations, station Two confirm calculations when completed." There was a frenzy of activity that seemed to suddenly erupt, everyone tapping away and following the orders they had been given.

“Helm ready to break orbit." came the quick response from the Human sitting at the navigation console “Sub-light engines online and standing by."

“Calculations and plot confirmed, ready for jump when ready," an otter reported from one of the science stations to the side “Course sent to navigation station."

“All bays report ready sir, all space doors locked down," came the report from the Lioness manning the Tower station “The colony's tower wishes us a good flight and they look forward to our possible future visits."

“Tower send the following response: Emperor personal reply, Good luck with you future and I hope that when we return they will be the shining glory in this sector." Master answered the lioness.

“Message sent sir... they have responded: Thank you for your blessing Emperor, you are clear to depart and safe flying." she answered and master nodded.

“Excellent, helm break orbit and get us to jump distance away from the planet, begin Jump drive charging process." Master called loudly, I watched as the planet quickly pulled off to the side of the ship on the display screen and disappeared from sight. Possibly the last time I would ever see it outside of long range projections and all I would remember for a long time would be it as an ice and mud ball.

“Jump drive fully charged, we will reach jump distance in twenty seconds, engineering reports all green." came a report from the tiger on the engineering station.

“Prepare to jump on my mark." Master called waiting patiently for the twenty seconds to tick by “Engage Jump engines." There was an 'aye sir' and a moment passed before the powerful drive activated. The stars rushed past as we started the journey, the usual dazzling array of lights and colours rushing past as we travelled.

“Excellent, now, I wish for four things," Master called out “One, the report on the weapons systems analysis I ordered after the incident the other day, Two a chair for my slave as he is still recovering from his severe poisoning, three a drink for myself and my slave and four, the report on how the assassin managed to break through security to enter the imperial sections."

“Weapons systems analysis report has been forwarded to you Sir." A bear officer reported a second later and he nodded bringing up a holographic display and started reading. I was about ready to collapse, my legs shaking slightly and I was holding firmly onto Masters chair for support when a chair was provided for me to sit on. The drinks rapidly followed after, water for myself and what looked like milk for Master.

Master was still reading his report when an otter walked over looking timid and afraid. I knew he had nothing to fear as Master wouldn't 'shoot the messenger' as the saying goes despite what news he brought. Master looked up at him a moment later looking mildly interested, his tail giving a light flick.

“Report ensign?" he asked and the otter squirmed a little .

“I regret to inform you sir we are yet to discover the means that the assassin breached security," he reported “I have been instructed to tell you that Joint Chief of Staff Joka is looking into it personally and will make the report to you directly. The assassins guild representatives on board are assisting with the investigation as they themselves did not believe it was possible."

“Very well," Master responded with a sigh “Please inform him that I would like it sooner rather than later, we can clean up the hole once we find what it is." the otter nodded and gave a bow before running off to do just that.

“Engineering, what is the status of the new jump drive and helm, what is our ETA?" Master called about an hour later after he finished reading, one of his large hands now resting on my thigh.

“Drive is stable sir, estimates predict it will be able to run for another ninety five hours till it needs to be shut down to prevent overheating, the new coolant systems are running beyond former expectations and we may be able to get an extra ten hours jump time if predictions are correct." Engineering reported and master nodded smiling.

“Estimated time to arrival is nine days sir running on optimum drive operation, that is including a half day for full drive cool down." Helm reported and Master nodded again.

“Understood, I would like a ship wise analysis of all systems and how they have held up with a full jump burn during the cool down period. Seeing as this is the first time the engines have run at full tilt for the maximum duration since the systems overhaul, one should expect some complications. If we can get the extra ten hours, try to use it. I would like to test their limits." there was a round of 'Aye sir' and he slowly got up and unclipped my leash “I am going to retire for the night, I will be after a full status report in the morning including the changes to be made to the targeting systems to prevent any future mistakes." he walked confidently to the lift and we got in, quickly returning to our quarters.

Master had me run a hot bath once we got there and after very little convincing, had me in it with him. To say the bath was large would have been an understatement seeing as it contained both of us with ease and room to spare for another person or two. I was laying on his chest facing him, unabashed about the fact our groins were touching as I rested my head on his chest between his clavicle. My ear pressed against his soft fur as I listened to his gentle purring which had started the moment I had laid it there. His hands were placed on my back and buttocks but again, I didn't care, I was finally comfortable being around him in this fashion.

“What did you mean last night?" he asked softly, “You said you were sorry for something but then just went quiet except for the occasional groan or squeak of discomfort until you passed out once we administered the antidote." I blushed lightly thinking back to the night before.

“I...um... I was saying I was sorry for... taking so long getting myself comfortable with what was to come in my life," I answered being a truthful as I possibly could be “That I was sorry I took so long getting ready for the next step we would undoubtedly be taking... I guess I was also mildly angry... the night I finally decided I was ready... I nearly get myself killed before I had the chance to tell you." he nodded slowly and chuckled softly now starting to grope my rear more openly.

“I see... but you have no reason to be sorry," he told me with a smile his purr seeming to pick up a bit “I was well aware I may have to wait. However you forget I am patient when I need to be and was ready for the wait to take longer... I do have one question though, are you ready for just the intimate part of this relationship? Or the pregnancy and possible body augmentations as well?"

“For everything," I answered him honestly “I knew what I was getting myself into, I knew that eventually body augments may be involved I just never knew to what extent... I guess I will be sad to see my body change but at the same time, I will accept whatever you decide to do to me."

“What if I decide to give you a tail that I can use to pull you onto my lap? Or change your feet to paws to save on the difficulty of acquiring shoes?" he asked and I shrugged.

“It would be your choice," I answered him with my honest opinion “My body isn't mine any more, it's yours to do with as you please and it's just taken me several days to get used to that." he blinked then chuckled softly shaking his head from side to side a little.

“Oh David, I am still giving you a choice, I always was," he tells me his purr picking up again “How about I give you a list of options for body augments to select from and I will see what we go with from your choices hmm?" I nodded and smiled his hand groping more at my rear, kneading at the soft flesh.

Surprisingly, despite my admission of being ready and open to any sexual play, that night we didn't do anything. Sure there was open groping and plenty more kissing but we fell asleep not long after we got into bed in our usual position of me snuggled up to his chest and his arms protectively wrapped around me.

The next day, true to his word, while he was talking with Lords, Diplomats and more, I was going through the list of potential augments that was available to be given to me. I was shaken from my reading when one potential lord addressed a question about me and mentioned how rude I was being by not paying attention to my Master and was distracted with whatever I was doing.

“He has his own work to do," Master said firmly in an admonishing tone “Work I have set for him to do specifically. It is after all a masters job to make sure their slaves are not idol for long periods. His tasks are simple and suited to him and I have no qualms about him progressing through them quietly while he sits here beside me. If you have a problem with how I handle my slave then I suggest you leave, as clearly you are not suited to the position as a Lord in this Empire. David, please return to your task."

“Yes Master." I answered him with a bow of my head and returned quickly to what I was doing. The list was extensive, different kinds of wings, different kinds of tails, ears, fur, skin, scales, paws, hooves, claws, nails, muzzle or human face, Sheath or no sheath and what changed about my cock even. He had me look at every possible option of augmentation there was. Did he really want to change me this much? I had thought he was happy with my appearance but If that was the case, I guess I wasn't that good at reading him as I thought I was. Then again he may have simply been wanting to see what I was open to trying.

I was careful with my selections, trying to picture what I would look like with said changes but finally decided to bring up another display and get the computer to project what the changes would look like. I set it up so as I selected something it would change on the display and it helped me a lot as I selected different options I was open to trying.

In the end, I surprised myself by sticking mainly to lion type augments. A long lion tail, hand paws and digitigrade pawed feet like master had. I even set the fur colour to white to match his own. When finally I saved my selection and sent it to master it was nearly the end of the day and unless he had told me, I would have skipped lunch because I was so enraptured with what I was doing. I had added at the bottom of the page that it was open to changes by him, I was fully willing to accept any changes to my selection it if he so desired.

The next day he had me in the medical bay again with Doctor Kaydex working on something furiously in his office. Master had me lay down on the medical bed and was gently petting my hair with a smile while waiting for the doctor.

“You are probably wondering why we are in here," master spoke with a smile “Well for one, Dr. Kay has found a way to repair the damage the poison did to your body. I have also decided on your augments, I hope you will be pleased with the results."

“What did you decide on in the end?" I asked and he chuckled and shook his head.

“That is for us to know and you to find out," he said with a smile “You will be ok, trust me, you are in the best medical paws in the Empire." I nodded as Doctor Kaydex waddled out, a tray of injections in his paws.

“Ok, sadly the changes can be quite... uncomfortable.." he started to say as he finally stopped on the other side of the bed to Master and started to pick up the injections one by one “So we will put you in a medically induced coma till they are completed. That's this one, then this one is a nutrients booster as the nanites used will need a lot of resources to complete their work. Sadly without this they would start to breakdown your muscle and bone structures to keep themselves operational. Then this one is the actual nanites that will do the work and lastly this one is to activate the little buggers. You will only be asleep for three days while they work and when you come too you will feel like you simply blinked and nothing is different, ok?" I nodded and looked up at my Master who smiled giving my hand a soft kiss.

“We have saved your original appearance in case you ever decide you wish to change back ok?" he said and I nodded, he then turned his attention to Kaydex as the Doctor was about to give me the first injection “Remember Doctor, unless it's an emergency, this room is off limits to everyone but us understand?" there was a hiss against my neck and my eyelids suddenly got heavy.

I could have sworn I took an exceptionally long blink but when I looked up my body seemed to not ache like it had been up to the injection. That and Master and Doctor Kaydex had swapped sides around my bed, in my mind little over a second had passed and they had swapped sides around my bed, both smiling down at me.

“Hello there sleeping beauty," Master said with a smile and purr “I know you think it has only been a blink of the eyes but three days have indeed passed. Thankfully the nanites repaired any damage that was done by the poison that you were dosed with. Want to sit up and see what we changed? You will be pleasantly surprised I hope." I nodded and groaned a little. Something didn't feel the same, my brain just wasn't computing what was different just yet and felt flooded by new information.

Master helped me sit up and I gave a sharp cry as I felt a sharp pain around my rear. Looking back master was fishing my new tail out from under me. It was a lion tail in appearance, its fur white like Master's own with a fluffy white tuft at the end and his gentle stroking of it felt strange, yet pleasant. As I looked at it it flicked back and forth and master chuckled a little seeing my confused expression.

“I am sure you are finding out that our tails are controlled subconsciously," he said “It will take a little while to learn to control it, takes kittens a few weeks at least." I nodded slowly and Kaydex pulled the sheets off of me exposing my changed legs and feet. Like my tail, they were almost identical to masters only smaller. I wiggled my toes and watched the four fat digits on each foot move and noticed the pads on the bottom where a bright pink unlike almost every other set of paws I had seen.

“Pink pads?" I asked and both of them chuckled softly.

“Called it." Kaydex said as he folded the blanket up.

“Well, I had to have some input on the changes," Master said with a smirk and shifted to help me stand “Now be careful, it's different to what you are used to on your human feet, think of it like your on tip toes." I nodded and he helped me up. I struggled for a few steps imagining this must be what women go through with high heals but quickly adapted, my tail swinging a little behind me to help me balance.

“Looking good," Kaydex said looking me over “Might want to give his fur a grooming as it's a bit scruffy and his claws will need blunting, as per slave standard laws but I will leave him with you now. If any problems come up, let me know."

“Thank you Doctor, I will keep you updated of his condition. Now, David, I am needed on the bridge for the jump cool down and I don't want you to be lazing around in my quarters, so you will be coming with me. I have been able to come up with some tasks for you to do however while you are with me, so you wont get so bored." I nodded and, shakily, walked over to him.

“Can we... not rush Master?" I asked almost pleadingly “I'm sure I will probably trip a few times... and it will only be worse if we rush." he chuckled and nodded clipping the leash to my collar.

“We shall take it slowly, we have about ten minutes before the jump ends, so we have time." he said and started walking towards the door making me need to follow him albeit unsteadily. We reached the bridge without incident and he clipped my leash to the chair as before telling me to stand this time as it will help me learn balance.

“Jump ending in two minutes," the human helm officer stated “Jump engines still running at expected levels." however before master could answer an alarm blurted from several stations and suddenly we dropped from jump, the ship lurching. While master nearly fell from his chair with the sudden stop, I was thrown off balance and toppled to the floor, nearly choking on my collar and leash before the leash snapped to prevent me getting injured.

“WHAT HAPPENED!?" Master boomed angrily ignoring me briefly as I slowly picked myself up more concerned for the ship.

“Emergency stop kicked in!" helm reported angrily “It was not me."

“Engineering reports they are investigating" the tiger at the engineering station said.

“Damage and injury report coming in," the lion at the Tower station piped up “Minimal damage, there was a huge amount of hull stress received however, fractures detected in multiple places, no breaches. Multiple injuries received, nothing more severe than a break has been reported so far."

“Engineering reports the Jump drive detected a massive radiation spike, drive cut out believing it was a leak or overheat" the engineering station reported.

“Signal detected!" the Lioness at the tactical station reported “Battleship, sphinx class, unable to retrieve ID"

“It's probably the Penitence." Master said calmly “Hail them."

“No response!" came the answer “INCOMING!" was the only warning we got before the ship was rocked by three huge impacts.

“Hull Breach! Deck Nine section four! Sealing it off!" Engineering reported “Torpedo strikes, casualties reported!"

“Shields Up!" Master called angrily “Activate disruption field and charge weapons, Get me the name of that ship!"

“Majesty incoming message!" the tower reported “They demand us to surrender Lady Kamale, Slave Amadio and Lords Cos and Leong."

“Sir... Your brother has been injured along with two of his boys, one is critical... the other is dead sir." The Science station reported to our side and master looked shocked to start with, which quickly turned to outrage.

“Respond to them with these exact words" he says coldly “Surrender now and you will be spared a painful death." she nodded sending the message.

“Don't think they are going to surrender" A bear in the second tactical station answered.

“Why do you say that?" Master asked angrily and the ship was shaken again “Another torpedo... very well... Attack pattern Leo four, deploy hunter torpedoes, target their engines, shields, weapons and primary computer systems."
