The biefing had been all about Mustafa and his slaving operations. He had always seemed to be one step ahead of the ADD and it was believed that he had a mole on the inside given his incredible luck as to who to hit and who to back off from as if knowing what ADD vessels where in the area.

Recently though he acquired an artifact from the planet Krellon. It was an old device from the Akari civilization a now deceased race of beings that perished long ago. Normally Mustafa was an invisible presence though it was no big secret that he was now on the market looking for slaves schooled in that culture that could assist him in unlocking the secrets of the artifact.

So far he had not found anyone with that talent the ADD presumed since he was still looking but a recent raid by the alien Goro did acquire a shipment of slaves, one of which had been well versed in the Akirian people and culture, a person that Mustafa would have interest in or so the ADD believed.

Goro was auctioning off his slaves on the planet Akix where Misty now found herself. The planet had a small colony, mostly miners and while an archaelogist wouldn't fit well in the numerous mines of the planet beggers couldn't be choosers.

In what passed as the town square a stage had been erected by the slime creature Goro as one by one he displayed the wares of his merchandise, the stronger girls selling quite well to the mine owners, the prettier ones as wives to the miners with one or two others being ignored for the most part.

It was during this auction that a hover car arrived meeting with a bull headed alien who had been at the auction from the start. He had not bought anything but met with the small bird-like alien that just arrived and said something to him, his attention drifted to the stage as Stephanie was brought one stage, the women with the skills.

She was a mouse of a woman, small and petite neither attractive or hideously ugly nor did she seem to possess any sort of real physique. Opening bids were offered, the bird-like creature holding up it's walking stick and making a little motion with it to indicate a bid.

It had been a simple mission for her, Kirsty was a young new ADD Agent having only been drafted in after a lucky break when she was being shipped out of Shokoshu to become a sex slave, an ADD ship had luckily found her transport and busted her out, since then she had been at the ADD mostly getting equipped and trained to handle missions like this, but she was surprised she as a rookie got such an important mission but she wasn't complaining, she was searching for the known Slaver known as Mustafa, someone that the ADD was heard to pin anything on, he seemed to know every step they made, knowing there patrols where they weren't at, and ways around blockades. Kirsty however steeled herself, she was here for another reason, the ADD where seeing Mustafa's unique interest in Ancient Artifacts, her job was to stick to Mustafa, mostly spy on him for now, and attempt to figure out what he was up to and report back, to her that was an alright starting mission, right now she was wearing her normal known clothing though she was hiding it under a brown cloak not wanting any of the slavers around here to see her and try to add her to there sales, she was a rather shapely woman with a pair of D cup breasts and a good waist/hip ratio.

Kirsty watched all the slaves being sold off with a hidden anger, she hated how many creeps got to the girls so easily, she quietly went around the crowds for now, trying to spot Mustafa and stick to him for now.

As she went around the crowds the first thing that was apparent to her had been that no one really seemed all to interested in Stephanie. She was ill suited for the mines and there were better wares for wife material. It was not a total lost for Goro since she was with the other slaves when he chanced by her and thus any profit was better then none.

He made back what he had to spend in food and dressing her for this auction plus a little extra so he could not complain as she was sold. At the direction of the bird man the bull type alien acquired Stephanie muscling her into the back of the hover car and getting in there.

A robotic driver got out of it, opened the front passenger door for it and the little creature got inside after taking a brief look around where his eyes did fall upon her. He looked her over, his eyes sliding over her though her figure was hidden by the robe an thus his attention did not linger on her for too long as he got inside the car and the robotic driver soon joined him and the car was off.

Where did they go? That was unknown but the colony wasn't a big one. Akix was fairly isolated and thus slaves where in greater demand in this sector of space since few people came here to police it.

On the world, however, their was only one place used as a resort if you could call it that near the cleared area used as a makeshift space port when visitors arrived. Her ship and Goro's but Mustafa's had been absent or it set down elsewhere on this world.

One thing made itself clear to her, why as a rookie she was selected for this assignment in the first place. She was a new face unknown to Goro or the other slavers and her ship was unregonizable so far as an ADD vessel if it did not broadcast it's transponder signal while in space so that other ADD vessels did not mistake her or open fire on her by mistake.

Kristy watched as almost no one was interested in Stephanie except for that bird man alien, as she watched the Bull Alien drag Stephanie onto the hover car, she almost felt a little worried when Mustafa noticed her but thanks to her cloak she wasn't even given a second glance as she glanced around and went for her grav bike she had parked in an alleyway, she hadn't been able yet to equip her ship or gear with ADD symbols making it easier on her, her ship was a strange vessel, she had called it an LSF Defender, simple cause it reminded her of an old game she had played along time ago, before shaking off the memories and slowly began following shadowing the hover craft as it drove off her bike in pursuit as she tried to look casual, she was an unknown face, and that's what she had hoped for, she was dressed in relatively normal looking clothing so she looked like a civilian at most, or some kind of space explorer rather than an ADD agent as she followed Mustafas car.

The car pulled away, whether or not see had been noticed was another matter. The colony wasn't too big and there was little traffic but their being only the single resort on planet didn't make her trailing the car stand out.

There was no ship landed for the alien which told her either he was waiting or that the ship was elsewhere though with the craft going to the resort she could assume that the ship just wasn't here. The car stopped near the resort, the robot driver getting out and opening the door for the little bird who hoped out and adjusted the spectacles that he wore. He was rather colorful but dressed in finery though of course he had no foot ware.

His wings ended in talon like hands and she had to wonder if he was capable of flight or not but before that thought took shape the back door of the car opened and out came the bull alien and Stephanie. His attention shifted to the resort for a second, he shaking his head then turning his attention to Stephanie he grabbed her by the arm and made his way to it with the little bird leading the way.

The robot did not join the trio instead getting back in the car where it "waited".

Kirsty slowed her grav bike to a stop a small distance away, as she tilted her head to the side watching them drag the girl away to the resort, "Strange...why come all this way for just one girl..." She muttered before she parked her bike and carefully making sure her cloak covered her and headed off after them, keeping a good distance at most she looked like another customer going to the resort herself,

She walked calmly, not walking right behind them, but more like walking a good bit to there left, staying slightly behind with a small stride not walking, or jogging, just simple nonchalant footsteps as she breathed deeply, she was getting more worried the planet had little to know forms of natural cover she could walk behind.

The lobby, if one could call it that consisted of a lone onyx skinned alien that was reading from a pad. He was busy with his novel or whatever he was reading though the trio did not bother with him heading straight for a wooden staircase. The world did not have such luxaries as elevators it seemed though the trio seemed to be checked in already and did not need to deal with such matters as they ascended the staircase.

Thus far they had not paid her any undo attention. She had not stood out or did anything to attract attention onto herself as she went about her buisness.

Something Kirsty was glad for, she calmly walked past the distracted receptionist and headed up the stairs herself being slow with her ascend, keeping an eye out for any of them as she walked up the stairs, she knew she was in dangerous territory, as she walked up the stairs glancing around the corners when they where heading up the stairs making sure they where up that fleight of stairs before following, knowing she had to be careful, too soon and they would spot her, too long in waiting and she could miss the floor they stop at.

The trio made slow progress, Stephanie resisting a bit as the bull-like creature pulled her by the arm to cries of the nature of letting her go and so on. While this was going on the bird guy squawked something, telling her it was futile to resist, that she'd have to work on her attitude somehat before Mustafa got here.

The bull guy, Boris, she learned by the bird guy calling his name ordered Boris to lead the way and informed him that he could have fun with her, they only needed her alive, the boss never said not to touch her.

Funny but from all the images she saw of the bird guy she thought that he was Mustafa though that didn't seem to be the case. Had Mustafa been of the same species?

The trio stopped on the upstairs landing on the uppermost floor. Stephanie was shoved into a room with a snorting Boris and bird guy walking into the room behind her, the door sealing them off from further prying eyes.

Kirsty listened in more confused now as neither the Bull or Bird where Mustafa, before they shoved Stephanie inside and shut the door behind them, Kirsty quickly moved up to the door and began carefully checking for any other way inside the room while carefully attempting the unlocking.

She knew this was dangerous, one mistake and she could be yanked inside too as she attempted to either sneak in or at least listen in pressing one ear against the door.

On this floor there were only two doors so it was either one large room or two separate ones. There had been no one in the hall though and she hadn't heard the door click to indicate that it locked automatically behind them. Given the planet, the small size of the colony and the fact that the place didn't even have elevators it was reasonable to assume that the doors did not automatically lock.

What she heard from behind the door was a thwacking sound and something falling to the floor.

"Master Mustafa isn't going to be here for a bit but until then I know how we can pass the time," the voice belonging to Boris.

Another voice chimed in, feminine and probably belonging to Stephanie as she told him to stay back.

Kirsty flinched knowing what the poor was going to get and tried to look for an old fashioned vent while checking the other door carefully making sure she looked everywhere for some way to spy on them without detection for now, her mind thinking of ideas quickly as she bit her bottom lip a little still hidden in her cloak.

"What now Kirsty..." She whispered to herself glancing around for something to help her.

"Noooooooooo!"

The sound eechoing out from the other room accompanied by a taring sound that may have been the shredding of garments.

This being a jungle world it was rather humid here and thus there were vents to get the interior of buildings cool. There was a cooling duct/vent set into the wall about half way down the corridor and either went into the one larger room or split of into two directions. The end of the vent was covered with a grate and metal tubes fit into the top of it.

These smaller tubes seemed to be the actual cooling agent, the vents just large enough to squeeze into and see to any sort of repairs. It was an old system and there were obviously better ways of doing things but she imagined that it was cheaper for the resort in the long run she guessed, otherwise the place would use other means, right?

Kirsty winced hearing Stephanie's cries as she hear her clothing ripped up no doubt about to be raped, before she quickly began to unscrew the grate of the vent carefully, using a little tool she had on her to help before she pulled off her cloak...revealing her form, nice pinkish skin, a pair of lovely breasts, perfect hips and figure, she was wearing a simple black almost halter top for now, and skintight leggings, her cloak having hid this as she carefully grabbed her cloak and the grate and wiggled into the vent system while rescrewing the grate back on behind her before she began crawling through the vent, quickly she crawled through the vent system heading towards the room that Stephanie was no doubt inside with that Boris man.

"What could they be after in her.." She whispered confused more than most.

(That better?)

The vent went down a few meters before branching off in either direction given rise that either the room beyond was one larger one that needed the vent to cool all of it or was two smaller ones. Left. She went left only because the sounds of Boris and Stephanie had been strongest there.

There had been another vent there where someone in the room could access it if necessary though this allowed the perfect place to sp into the room beyond. She could see Boris straddled over Stephanie, who's shirt had been torn opened and her hands pinned down upon the sofa here.

Currently Stephanie struggled against the larger alien trying to buck her hips to toss him off her.

She did not see the bird guy though and either he was in another room or standing in the room in the blind side of the vent.

(Yes, I guess I was misreading the last and just couldn't follow it)
