Chapter 12. And then they fu...

Thaum woke several hours later. He needed to piss, and he was hard. An annoying combination no matter how long you live. He groaned, deciding between magicking away the blood flow problem or taking the risk of accidentally teleporting his bladder along with its contents so he could stay in bed. Then he remembered something, “computer piss.”

A panel above the bed opened, and a tube lowered down to his waist. Thaum unzipped and flopped it in. He let a sigh as the tube vacuumed the contents away, “man I love technology.” he said as he emptied his bladder.

Just as he was about to roll over and go back to sleep, Alice walked in. “yo,” he said still hanging out of his pants and making no move to cover himself.

Alice turned her back suddenly, “dammit, put some clothes on.”

“I’m fully clothed.” he countered.

She peaked before quickly looking away again, “you know what I mean. Put your… thing away.”

Thaum laughed, “wow, your acting like a naive little virgin. It’s almost cute.”

Alice said, “well despite where I worked, I am. Speaking of which, why am I. You were rather clear on the conditions of my boarding your ship.”

Thaum said, “I was, but if this is how you react to a penis, then I might feel bad for sticking one in you.”

“ah, because you are a shining beacon of morality.”

Thaum shrugged, “you’re right. Come over here and bend over.”

Alice slowly moved to the bed backward, earning a chuckle from Thaum. When she turned around, she saw him now entirely decent. A punchable grin spread across his face. He said, “well. Are you going to bend over and sit down.”

Alice sent him a glare, and when he remained unaffected, she said,” anyway. Ellora won’t stop bugging me for details about the mission.”

Thaum cut her off, “just tell her we leave whenever she is ready.”

Alice said, “she is ready now. In fact, she is outside the ship, probably still tapping her foot.”

Thaum rolled over, “invite her in and lead the mining fleet to the pirate asteroid base. Oh, and take the scenic route so we aren’t followed.”

Alice said, “we are in space. There is no scenic route… but you mean to not go directly there. Okay then, but when are you going to tell ME your plan. I can only dodge Elloras questions for so long.”

Thaum grabbed a device and threw it to her, “show her those pictures. Now get out of my room.”

Alice stood up and flicked through the images, “wait. Is this the. How... It won’t fool a real asteroid miner.”

Thaum reached over the end table and grabbed his laser pistol. “it will. But it doesn’t have to. She will keep her mouth shut with how many credits it will bring. Now, do I have to repeat myself?” Alice wanted to retort, but Thaums expression and wandering barrel had her scrambling out the door.

Thaum rolled over once again and closed his eyes. The door hissed open two minutes later. The pistol went from his pillow to the door as he said, “what did I say, out.” A short “eep” sounded before he opened his eyes and said, “you aren’t much of a fighter, are you. Your tits are out of cover and still visible through the doorway, Ellora.”

Ellora said, “they aren’t out of cover. They are diffusing the situation.” Then she bounced up and down on her heels.

Thaum laughed, “and that works.”

She peeked around the corner and saw the gun lowered, “it did.” She stepped into the room and asked, “so, are you finally going to tell me about the mission.”

“and I just gave Alice the details.”

Ellora said, “ah, I thought she didn’t know anything, so I walked right… anyway, sorry for disturbing you.”

When the door closed, Thaum put the pistol back under his pillow and said, “computer lock my fucking door.” click.

Thaum rolled over again. Then almost growled when the door issued an open request ding. But the door stayed closed, and so did his eyes.

However, two minutes later, the door hissed open. Thaum sat up, “WHAT the FUCK. Computer, why did you open the door for the purple elf.”

[Capitan, this woman enacted the “booty call protocal”] a voice recording of Ellora saying what she would do to him if the computer opened the door played. [so I have allowed her access]

Ellora leaned into view and seeing no gun when she peeked, she gave an awkward wave, “haha, I didn’t expect that to work, but seriously.”

Thaum sighed, “apparently. Now unless you really are going to ride me to oblivion. Fuck off until I wake up.”

The door closed. [Miss Ellora’s booty call protocol privileges are revoked for failing set task] Thaum chuckled before he finally got to sleep again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

He woke up several later and stretched. He didn’t get out of bed but thought about it. There were several more episodes of the show he was watching that Alice should have downloaded by now. His thoughts were interrupted when the door open request sounded.

Elloras voice came through the door speaker, “I saw the battle footage with those pirates. And uuuh… long story short my people like strong men. And I don’t want to assume, but you do have a booty call protocol, so I’m just going to ask. Do you have any problem with purple ass?”

Although Thaum hadn’t gotten a rear view to make an accurate judgement on that specific purple ass he unlocked the door as a reply.

And then they fu
