Have you heard any word yet.

"No m'lady. It has been a few hours since we heard anything from the Station Muse." Enru, the blonde haired handmaiden replied as she checked the communications one more time. She was the tallest of the three that occupied the royal shuttle. "They did say we were welcome to board and purchase fuel and supplies."

"I don't like it." says An, the short brownhaired handmaiden. She took a moment to double check her pistol as she readjust her the cape that made up part of the uniform. "They can't expect us to just to simply dock with them with little communications. I don't this is a good idea to visit a station so close to the Kast."

Well, maybe they assume that once you are invited, that is all the contact they need. Princess Octavia walked up to where the two handmaidens running the bridge, it was important to they be able to see her in royal dress. It was a formal dress she wore first encounter situations. Her long pink hair flowed down her back to a bit past her rear.

She wasn't sure what was going on with the Muse Station but she wanted to make sure that the Trixians made a good impression. Besides we are low on fuel so we will have to dock with them to refuel anyways. Please go ahead and dock. We will greet them when cross over.

Silence only came from the station, largely managed by its control systems, free of interference from humanoids. Naturally, this had turned the station into a trap when a Harvester had gotten aboard it via one of the many transport runs made by smugglers, had been given the opportunity to evolve into a colony and spawned many more Harvesters.

Like the Pandora, it had only taken scant days for the Harvesters to take control of the station by bringing everything to a shuddering half and screwing with the atmospheric control. Even with alien technology, it was all too easy for the Harvesters to do what they did best. Thus, it was in such conditions that the station continued to operate on its own, performing as it had been programmed to by its overseers, something that had been meant to aid them serving as their prison.

Truly, the Trixians had no idea just what they were about to walk into.

The royal shuttle moved into position to dock with the station. Despite not getting any guidance from the Muse station, Enru was able to pilot the shuttle up and able to dock making it look like it was no effort what-so-ever. The Princess nodded her approval of a job well done. The two handmadiens then quick took position by the door waiting to escort the young princess.

An hit the button to open the door and the dock door, and it rapid succession the doors opens, however, there was no one there to greet them. At least no person anyways, a wave of heat the the trio along with a strange smell that seemed to overwhelm the handmaiden senses for a moment. "I don't like this, I don't like this one bit," says An.

Octavia responded, Well like it or not we are going on board, our fuel situation is bad. We are going to have to refuel and resupply our ship, even if we have to find it ourselves. Besides, we are still not sure this not the way the station owners like it and everything is normal. And with that the stubborn pink haired princess stepped into the station. The handmaiden had to quick step in to follow her.

Indeed, the atmosphere was not just heating up due to the Harvesters' sabotaging efforts, but it was too filled with the creatures' poison, their pheromones, steadily flowing throughout the entire station. Though it was not strong at first, the further the Trixians moved into the station, the more overpowering it would become.

There was still no signs of other people, though it was somewhat known that the Muse crew were not quite as numerous as some of the other stations, given that it did not require a sizable personnel to manage the station with the new protocols in place. Yes, it had been fairly simple for the Harvesters to take over the place and hold what females they found captive while doing away with the males.

Instead, it was simply quiet and still. Almost too quiet, in fact.

The Trixians continued down corridor after corridor trying to find any sign of crew but there was no one to be found. "It like they all vanished." said Enru.

An immediately replied, "Or they abandoned it for some reason." She took a second to pull back her brown hair to remove the sweat from her brow. The smaller handmaiden then took a moment to open her collar piece to let some air in. "We should get what we after and leave."

The blonde spoke up, "Well we will have to go to the control center to turn on the pumps to refuel our craft." Subconsciously she began to remove the top of her leotard. "Once we get the pumps on, we'll have to find food of course."

An blushed wildly, "Enru! Your in front of the Princess!" The blond handmaiden suddenly stopped what she was doing, her face turning red with embarassment.

Some weird is going on here. Octavia took a moment and let out a sigh. You are both getting very excited from this, which is unusually for you two. We have to hurry up and get this done and get out of here. Little did the princess know that the three of them were already moving slower than normal. The pheromones were making quick work of her handmaidens.

Little did the princess know too that the three of them were no longer alone, now quietly stalked by the Harvesters nearest to them that had picked up on their scents. With deadly efficiency, a spider-like life form was closing in on them from behind, moving quietly and flitting from hiding place to hiding place, even as other Harvester forms maneuvered their way through the vents as usual.

It was only when they were deep enough on the path the princess had led them down that the creature struck, lashing out with an incredibly long and durable tongue which had wrapped itself around the blonde Trixian from twenty meters away and began dragging her down the hall, even as several Warrior forms approached from the sides, cutting off potential escape routes and leaving only one way to flee, deeper into Muse Station.

The first any of the Trixians knew anything was going on, was when something wrapped around Enru. The three only got the briefiest of glances before, the blonde handmaiden was suddenly dragged down the hall. "Enru!" yelled An, as the shorter brown haired handmaiden pulled her pistol. Octavia could only watch in horror as An drew her pistol at extremely slow pace for her. Normally her royal guards would have immediately counter attacked. But here they were vulnerable to whatever was in the air here.

And they weren't the only ones, several creatures appeared in the hallways, they looked like a mass of tentacles as they approached. The Princess screamed even as An continued to fire down the hallway at the thing that took Enru. The brown haired woman then turned to the face the new threats. "Run Princess, we need to get you to safety." she says as she fires a the other creatures. The two slowly began to make their way down the unguarded hallway unaware that it lead deeper into the station. All the pink haired princess knew was that she was endanger of outpacing her remaining guard.

Far out of reach to be rescued by her fellow handmaiden, Enru was completely at the Harvester's mercy as it brought her to its location, spidery legs clicking onto the floor as it no longer had any reason to be silent now. With only what sounded like a mocking growl, the Harvester leaned in close to Enru, its hands snatching at the handmaiden's own and forcing them over her head even as it spit out gunk from its open maw at her wrists, the gooey mucus hardening already as it came in contact with the air.

Within seconds, the mucus was incredibly solid and impossible to break for someone like Enru, leaving the Harvester free to begin slicing through her clothes with its claws, tearing away the fabric and leaving her vulnerable before its unwanted attentions. It did not leave her legs free, however, as tentacles began to coil around them, keeping them pinned down against the floor.

The weapon was barely of any threat to the slightly armored bodies of the Warriors, the tentacles easily weaving out of the way as the Harvesters scrambled down the hall after An and the Princess, though not as fast as they normally moved at as they were only meant to herd the two deeper into the Station, straight into the loving embraces of the growing colony, of which would certainly profit wonderfully from their added company alongside all the females it had already been brought.

Enru gasped as she found herself seperated from the rest of the Trixians. As the tentacle pulled her to the location she saw herself being pulled towards the giant spider. The young woman tried to defend herself but she moved far to slow and the creature easily pulled her hands up over head. The creature then spit out some sort of gunk at her, making the blonde guard flinch, only to realize that her it was her hands that was the target and now they were covered in the gunk.

The blonde attempted to break free, but it was simply too strong. She could only watch on in horror as the creature began to rip apart her skimpy outfit as it stripped her down to nothing. She tried to the claws off with her legs, only to have tentacles wrap around her legs and pinned her to the floor. She could only do one thing at point, scream.

The scream reached the two Trixians still fleeing down the hall. Octavia stumbled a bit as she was overcome with the fear that Enru felt, Something horrible is about to happen to Enru.

"It is too late to save Enru, we have to make sure your safe, m'lady." said An trying to keep her tears from her eyes. She continued to fire on the tentacle creatures approaching. She couldn't understand why her aim was so off and why she was having difficulty even hit theses creatures. Still all they could do is run...run straight to the heart of the Station.

It was indeed far too late for Enru now, utterly at the mercy of the Harvester as it leaned in close, almost as if it was mockingly sneering down at her. Without further warning, the Hunter life form looked up down the hall where the remaining two of its prey had fled down, spidery legs moving over the female as its tentacles abandoned their hold on the female, the Hunter resuming the chase.

Instead, Warrior forms approached Enru, tentacles wrapping all around the woman's legs and chest, keeping her pinned down and unable to even resist as one of the Harvesters came close to her face, a feeder-tube approaching her mouth, dripping with the highly addictive slime, until it began pushing against her lips rather insistently.

For An and the Princess, the Warriors were still on their heels, keeping up enough only to remain in their sights as to force them to keep on fleeing, and whenever the pair turned down a hallway or tried to enter a room, they would be confronted by even more Harvesters, ensuring that the two went where they were wanted.

Enru continued to scream until the creature moved down to look her up close, the blonde handmaiden then turned her head away and closed her eyes. She could feel the warm breath of the the creature as it sneared. Then there was nothing, Enru opened her eyes, it was gone having head off to pursue the other Trixians. Unfortunately for the tall woman it she was not alone, two creatures or masses of tentacles approached her vulnerable and immediately reached out and wrapped around her legs and chest. The poor woman could do nothing to fight them off as one came close to her face. In her vulnerable and slight aroused (despite the fear) she could only watch in horror as some sort of tube extended from it and began dripping some sort of slime. Before she new it it began to press into her lips.

Meanwhile the other two Trixians continued to run as fast as there bodies would let them. An kept turning and firing while she run, though she moved at extremely slow pace. Her normally sharp mind was dulled by the pheromones that filled the hallways or else she would have realized that the her Highness was being led into a trap. In fact, despite the fact the Princes s wearing a long dress, she was beginning to rapidly out pace her sole remaining guard.

Still determined on plunging the tentacle into the handmaiden's mouth, the Harvester began releasing even more pheromones, which only led the other Harvesters into doing the same. Before long, the air was heavy with the Harvesters' poison as the tube made its way into Enru's mouth, a moment's time passing before slime began to flow into her, beginning the process of forcing the female to grow addicted to the Harvesters and prevent her from resisting.

Before long, the two Trixians would come up to a damaged door, just partially open. It wasn't open enough to admit anyone through, but could be wedged apart just enough to allow someone to get through. Given the fact that the Harvesters were closing in on the females, with the Hunter already mixed in with their numbers, there was little chance that both of the Trixians would be getting out of this. Though, if one was to sacrifice herself, the other would certainly have a chance to get away.

Enru could feel her resistance faded away, despite her best efforts. The poor handmaiden had no defenses to really resist the pheromones. It was that point, the tube pushed deep into mouth and before the long the slime flowed down her throat without her being to stop it. It would not be long before she became a slave to the Harvesters after all she was just a mere commoner.

Octavia was first to make it to the damaged door, but never really having to do heavy labor she was unable to open the door. "I'll get it open your majesty," shouted the brown haired maiden. She moved somewhat slowly to the door and the two pushed the damaged door enough to get it to open. "Quick my lady, through the door."

What about you? The Princess said concerned that she couldn't keep the door open for her guard.

"Don't worry about me, your highness. Save yourself." With that An, pushed the pink haired princess through the doorway and then pulled the door shut. The brown haired handmaiden had sacrificed herself in order to keep the Harvesters away from her princess.

With her well on the way to becoming one of the Harvesters' victims, the Warriors maintained their hold on Enru until she was quite cooperative, at which time another Harvester would come to retrieve her and bring her to the central chamber where the colony was sure to be established. For the time being, much of the focus now fell upon An and Octavia.

With the door shut, An was truly isolated now, utterly trapped as the swarming Harvesters approached her. It was only several moments before spidery legs slammed against the sealed door, a second Hunter staring down at An as its clawed hands forced her against the door, preventing her from moving. With only a growl, the Harvester looked at the door, seeing no way through, before turning its attention back on An.

Almost as if it had enough intelligence now to determine that the Princess would have to be sought after by other Harvesters, the Hunter then began forcing her arms against the door, spitting up gunk that quickly hardened and pinned her wrists down. Unable to pull away, the handmaiden was helpless as the Hunter began tearing away her garments, until nothing but tatters was left on her.

Enru could feel herself growing weaker and wanting more and more of the addictive slime. Soon another creature came to take the blonde handmaiden somewhere else. She was very afraid of where the creature the was taking her, but still she was not resisting.

Meanwhile, An fired wildly at the Harvesters as they approached her, until her pistol ran dry of fire. In the desperation she threw it at one the Harvesters. For a moment it appeared that the creatures were driven back by the ferocity of the remaining handmaiden. Then a spider like creature appeared, it looked just like the one that had taken Enru just moments before. With one single stroke it slammed An’s hands against the door to prevent her from moving.

At first it growled in disappointment that the pink haired princess had escaped on the other side of door. Then the creature turned to the helpless brown haired maiden, it immediately spit up some sort of gunk on her hands, and instantly An found herself pinned to the wall. She struggled to move but the gunk was too strong. It was only then that An saw the claws descend upon her and rip apart the remains of the royal guards outfit.

Octavia hit the door several times trying to get it to move, but it was completely unresponsive. It took her a moment to regain her composure, thru the fear she felt, thru the fear she felt through An. Slowly she began to making her way through the unknown corridors while unarmed and alone.
