Soon, once the Kast warlord had been joined by his bodyguards, the entourage was on the move as they slowly made their way through the nightclub, the Kast warriors surrounding the two naked Agents as well, as if to leave them no options but to follow their master. Silence grew as the rivlak made his way through, the owner of the club getting in his way just briefly to query about his sudden departure but was quickly silenced and shouldered aside, the Kast allowing for no interference in their leader's orders.

Once outside, which was quite warm despite the station being in space thanks to the existence of massive facilities built under street level to ensure a hot environment for the Kast, one that was close to Balat's original atmosphere. Though many found the sweltering heat uncomfortable, none were willing to complain to the Kast and merely sheltered themselves from the heat by remaining indoor or going 'underground' where coolants were numerous and all too common, allowing for refreshing temperatures to relax in. It was a short while before an hover vehicle arrived and stopped in front of the Kast, the doors opening to admit Varrik who entered and seated himself in the back, along with one other Kast, presumably the one in charge of his security.

Not even allowing them any chance to raise any fuss, one of the Kast warriors pushed the pair forward, toward the vehicle with a deep growl, "Move on, slaves! Do not keep the rivlak waiting!"

Minerva soon found herself surrounded by the warlord's bodyguards as they moved quickly through the nightclub. Minerva relaxed only a little as she was only slightly relieved by the fact that her naked romp through the nightclub would be short and that Kristy was here with her. As long as the rookie was here to be looked after, the redhead could concentrate on her safety. The owner of the club moved up quickly to intercept the group as they were heading out, but he was quickly shouldered aside, knocked out the way by one of the Kast guards.

As soon as Minerva stepped outside, she was hit by a blast of heat. It was the thing she hated the most about the station, it always so hot at the street level. It was barely tolerable as they stood their waiting for the ride, but at least the heat meant there was few people walking about the street. And she was at least more comfortable with the temperature right now without her clothes rather than with them. Soon a hover vehicle arrived and Varrik immediately entered it and sat in the back along with one of his Kast warriors.

Suddenly the young woman felt a shove from behind her as a warrior demanded them to get into the vehicle. Minerva held her tongue as she realized that she could only get the pair of agents into trouble. Quickly she got into vehicle to comply.

Kirsty stayed calm and walked with a grace befitting a slave girl as she walked with Minerva into the heated streets, while she gave a tiny flinch at the sudden rush of heat, she didn't mind it that much as she ignored it for now as she watched Varrik enter a hover car before she felt the push from the guards behind her and Minerva before softly smiling at her friend and walked into the car easily with Minerva looking for a position to sit down at not sure if she was allowed on a chair.

The rivlak continued to pay the two no further attention as he remained seated where he was, furthest from the doors. The vehicle was built very much like a limousine, but with less luxuries than one would have expected, only to be replaced by additional armor on the outside and weaponry stacked against the walls. It was spacious enough to fit in ten of the Kast, though only the warlord and the captain of his guards had entered, leaving the pair with plenty of seats to choose from.

With the other Kast warriors entering another vehicle, one bristling with weapons and scanners, the convoy began moving as they made their way down the street and toward the tower, the home of the Kast leader and his elite guard. It was not long before the captain focused his attention on the 'slaves', growling. "Sit down and be silent."

Much like the streets outside, the vehicles came with environment controls but they went ignored, allowing the interior to be every bit as unbearably hot as the outside had been. It was well known that the Kast found it amusing to watch those not one of them swear and squirm in the heat. After all, Balat had been much, much hotter than this. It was merely further proof of their inferiority compared to the Kast, a race bred for war and conquest, grown strong from adversity.

Minerva was able to find a seat rather easily inside the limousine, as there was so few people inside the vehicle. It was alot less equipped than the redhead was expecting, instead it appeared that alot of the luxuries have been removed so that extra armor could be placed inside it. The young woman also noticed that the walls seemed to be covered in weapons, so that the Kast could defend themselves in an instant.

In fact the for a fleeting moment, Minerva was thought about grabbing a weapon and taking Varrik and his captain hostage. However that would serve no purpose, the two girls still didn't know where their fellow agents were. Also there was also another vehicle behind them that had more Kast warriors armed with an assortment of weapons. The agent knew that was no way that if the two agents somehow managed to take over the limo there was no way they could get away.

No, for now the young women were going to have to wait until later for a better opportunity. It was difficult because the limo interior was just as hot as the rest of the station, in fact Minerva was sure that the limo is the had no air conditioning at all. It was very hot, and the young woman was somewhat glad she was naked as it helped her tolerate this heat.

Kirsty noticed how uncomfortable Minerva looked and softly gave her a look of sympathy as she moved sitting on a chair and crossing her legs a little as she closed her eyes and calmly breathed for now, deciding to relax herself for now and think things through, right now they had a straight path to the Kast's tower where they could find there fellow agents...Kirsty while she did sweat a little like her friend she didn't look uncomfortable as she softly breathed and relaxing herself to try and stay a little more cooler by not thinking about the heat...

As an uncomfortable silence filled the limo, the warlord was quite still, as if he was meditating on the inside and refocusing himself from being a patron of the nightclub to being the supreme ruler of Tortuga and the blood-stained empire that had come with it. There was also the possibility that the drug had finally begun to kick in...

It was only when they were near the tower that the Kast leader spoke up. "How have we come by this information?" He could have only meant one thing-

"From reliable informants, my lord. The monitors discovered several discrepancies between all incoming vehicles and those who have made their names and objectives known. The others were all found and apprehended, but one vessel remains unaccounted for. They have managed to remain exclusive and as such, we have no visuals on them."

"This is all you have?"

"No, my lord. One of our regular visitors in the port recognized both females and made their status as agents known to us."

"Who?"

"The doctor, the one who purchased our services in keeping her Harvesters contained."

The warlord grunted at that. He was rather unsure as to what to make of Dr. Katherine Steiner. She had certainly been quite an appealing female, physically so, but had an irritating habit of speaking to the Kast as if they were underdeveloped beings. This, naturally, brought conflict between her and several of the Kast, which had been concluded when she had forced them to submit to her through physical strength alone.

A woman, who was not a woman. A most strange contradiction.

"Hnnngh. What, then, do we know of these interlopers?"

The captain, ignoring the two 'slaves' as he placed all of his attention upon the warlord. "The doctor would not describe them, saying that she believed that you would find it more amusing to be hunted. She did give us their names, however. The agents seeking you out are known as Minerva Rocha, a Lieutenant, and Kirsty Heuchan, a recent addition to the ADD."

Appearing quite annoyed that this was the extent of the intelligence they had on his new enemies, the rivlak stared at the captain for a moment before speaking again, just as the vehicle came to a stop outside the tower. "And these names, they are all we have?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Hngh. I am not pleased, Ira'tan. You will go forth and find more on these agents, you will have them brought to me, in chains, so that I may ask why they have chosen to make me their enemy. Is that understood, Ira'tan?"

The captain, named Ira'tan, gave an affirmative nod. "I understand and I will not rest until the two are brought to you, along with any who have aided them in their inflitration efforts, rivlak!"

The Kast warlord merely growled, accepting the captain's remark as a word-oath, binding him to his leader. The captain would do as he had said, or he would have his horns broken, a badge of supreme shame and dishonor. Such was the price of failure.

Leaving it at that, the rivlak made his way out of the vehicle and began walking up the steps toward the tower, where there was a sizable number of Kast warriors waiting by the entrance alone, with many more within. It was truly a military stronghold, and the lion's den.

A Kast approached the vehicle, waiting for the two women to come out before gesturing for them to follow him up the steps, where they would be taken to Varrik's chambers, leaving them alone with the mighty warlord. As they would be escorted, the pair would not get to see much of the tower interior, save for the main hall and the elevator. And they would have to put up with yet more of the heat, as the interior was as hot as a cloudless day in the summer.

Minerva felt a little better when as Kristy gave her a look of sympathy, it was good to have a partner that was so close and could reassure a bit. It also seemed that that Warlord was very quiet, had the medication taken affect. The agent worried that it would take affect too soon and his captain would catch on. The agents still didn't know exactly where their fellow agents were yet, so the two would still needed to be infiltrate the Kast fortress.

It was as then that the Kast warlord asked how they came across this information. It was then that that the captain had mentioned that he had found one vessel that had discrepancies but had some remained undetected so far. It was then that Ira'tan added that the Doctor had told him the names of the girls that snuck into their station. Minerva eyes narrowed very briefly before she returned to her role of a simple slave girl.

Internally this concerned the agent a lot. Apparently Dr. Steiner had had hired these warriors to help contain the Harvesters. Meaning that she could use the Harvesters how she wanted and have the Kast come in and do cleanup later. The Kasts were perfect for the role as they were ruthless warriors who could defeat the Harvesters in fierce boarding actions. It also meant that Dr. Steiner was somewhere on the station and had seen them. Why she did immediately blew the two girls did not make sense to the redhead, but she was clearing going to be a wild card in the agent's plans.

The captain was sworn to find the two agents no matter what, not realizing the pair that he was seeking was in the limo with him. It was then that the limo had arrived at the tower, a Kast opened the door and gestured the two to go follow him. The redhead looked around as she stepped out and followed the alien up the stairs and into the tower. Everywhere she could see there was Kast warriors, and defenses to make it appear like a fortress. The agent wiped the sweat from her brow as she lead into the tower's interior whwere she and Kristy was made to wait for the elevator.

Kirsty listened intently and gulped as she remembered...her..the Doctor the one who had kept her 'prisoner' for 2 weeks straight in her secret station before letting her go free...and one of her biggest and darkest secrets as she shivered slightly as she remembered every single moment...shaking it off as they reached the tower she looked at Minerva and wrapped an arm around her waist softly giving her a gentle hand as she smiled while sweating too she was showing she was able to handle the heat at least better as she walked with her friend towards the tower getting nervous about walking into a real Lions Den....

Things certainly couldn't have been worse for the two Agents. Their target was proving to be capable of shrugging off the effects of the powerful sedative this long, unaware that his biology made it impossible for his kind to be affected by drugs, poison, and yes, medicine. Not only that, they were now trapped inside a reinforced structure, filled with far too many Kast warriors, each and every one a veteran of hundreds of battles. Furthermore, the Kast were aware of their presence on the Cradle and were already trying to find them and capture them, unaware that the two were already within their grasp. And finally, there was the 'wild card', one that both Agents had already suffered at the hands of, Dr. Katherine Steiner.

It was indeed true, though Minerva could only suspect it. The Harvesters being what they were, she had indeed purchased the services of the Kast armada to ensure that they remained contained whenever necessary, and of the warriors themselves to engage the Harvesters, both to bring in live specimen whenever it wasn't possible for her to do so or to collect combat data on some of the newer strains. It was a job the Kast enjoyed, the enemy being quite unlike any they had ever faced. Naturally, their biology also made them perfect for the job, the Harvesters' pheromones being incapable of affecting them, their poisons ignored by Kast flesh and blood, and their swarming numbers easily cut down by the deadly soldiers. Yes, the Kast were certainly perfect for handling the Harvesters.

The elevator finally reached the final floor of the tower, which served as Varrik's personal quarters. The entire chamber had once been the seat of power for the council that governed their empire, before the Kast had come and conquered it, hurling the council-members down onto the very planet they had rendered inhospitable. Instead of being filled with the usual trappings of a government office, it was now filled with various objects befitting a Kast warlord. Weapons taken from the hands of dead enemies across thousands of worlds rested within their wall-mounts, secured in place. Within niches and on pedestals, the 'trophies' of countless battlefields rested, such as a piece of the armor of a powerful enemy, the shattered helmet of a valiant defender, even the skull of a rival warlord. Apart from these, the large chambers were quite spartan, Varrik caring nothing for luxuries and wants, as they would only have made him weak.

Instead, the chambers had been redesigned by a Kast mind and by Kast servants into one that could serve as the final stand if it came to that. If an enemy had successfully broken through the gates, swarmed throughout the towers, despite the horrendous loss in their numbers that they would certainly have suffered at the hands of the Kast defenders, and had managed to get to the warlord's personal chambers, they would have found it well defended, plenty of defenses providing cover for Varrik and his elite guard, with nothing for them to protect themselves with.

Not only that, but the entire floor had been armed with explosives, if it ever came down to it. The warlord would not allow himself to taste defeat at the hands of lesser beings and would have, unhesitatingly, obliterated himself and his attackers in a subatomic blast, eradicating much of the tower and likely triggering a chain reaction that would have ruptured the Cradle's power systems; In the end, Tortuga would have fallen alongside its conqueror. It was that fear that kept much of the population grounded under Kast rule. What they could not keep, they destroyed even if it meant destroying themselves.

The guard gestured for the two to follow Varrik as he made his way up the stairs, the elevator doors closing and sealed shut behind them, stepping into what served as his bedchamber, a bed large enough for not only the Kast but multiple females. Already, the Kast was stripping himself of his garments and was clearly wasting no time to get down to what he wanted to do most now, the interruptions delaying his desires long enough. Only when he was finished did Varrik turn to face the two, the pinnacle of physical perfection, a body hardened by long decades of constant warfare and battles too numerous to count, and if one were to cast their gaze down along his body, his member already hard with arousal and lust, hard bumps now visible along the length and small ridges present along the head of his cock, which only came out whenever he was completely excited. More than any other cocks, the Kast would inflict pleasure beyond what any human or alien cock would provide for the two.

"Now, who... Shall be the first?"

The elevator doors finally opened revealing the personal quarters of her. The young woman slowly stepped out into the room. The undercover agent was comforted by the an arm wrapped around her brunette partner. She could feel Kristy shake slightly for a moment, but misinterpreted the rookie's nervousness to be about the current situation. The redhead agent, was nervous too, wondering what she would see once they were in the room.

The room looked like that it was once some sort of council chambers, at least that is what she thought of the large circular room. The room had now been turned into a trophy room. All throughout the room there was various weapons mounted on the walls, no of them looked like they had been made by the same culture or even the same species. Elsewhere on pedestals and in niches on the walls, there appeared to be pieces of equipment, trophies taken from dead enemies and victories of the Kast. Even the skull of a Kast, a rival warlord was on display, showing that the Kast were not as united as they appear.

Still the room had been reconfigured to provide a last defense for the warlord. Most of the tables had been positioned on the far side of the room away from the elevator, so as to give the Warlord and whoever else was along side him all the available cover in the room. Only those who were quick enough to assault the room would be able to take them before the Warlord and his retinue could fire upon them. Worse, the agent's training allowed her to recognize the explosive charges that had been placed throughout the room. Varrik had planned to collapse the entire room, perhaps even the entire tower; should he ever get overwhelmed. If he lost, it was clear that no one else would win.

The two agents were told to follow Varrik up the stairs beyond the trophy room as the elevator shut behind them. Minerva followed the warlord as they stepped up and into the bedroom. It was there that the Kast immediately began to strip off his clothes as turned to show his chiseled body towards the pair of women. The redhead could see that that his huge member was already hard and had many bumbs and ridges in which he could use to drive a female wild. It was then that the warlord asked who was first.

I am m'lord. Minerva said in a sexy tone as swayed her hips as she moved forward. She hoped to keep the warlord attention until the drugs took affect. With luck she could keep the alien occupied while her partner was able to find any information she could on the missing agents.

Kirsty while not as experienced as Varrik or even Minerva, she only noticed how the room was almost like a last line of defense as she walked in with her partner as she slowly removed her arm around her while looking around curiously following the warlord into his private room, staying beside Minerva as she watched the Kast strip naked and gulped almost seeing that member as she saw Minerva approach Varrik as she nodded and bowed her head, "I am as well My Lord," She said in a soft submissive but sensual tone. Something the girl was able to learn after her little fun with the Doctor.

Varrik grunted at the two 'slaves' responses, expecting nothing less than total obedience, whenever they were willing or not. It did not matter whenever they were prepared or not, for he himself was more than ready. Giving himself a moment to decide on just who he would bed first, the Kast appeared to be sizing the two up. They did not appear like any of the other slaves, truth be told. The slaves were often fed just enough to sustain themselves, often given a cocktail of drugs and chemicals to break their minds and make them into better sex toys for customers. These two showed no signs of being drugged nor trained. They did not even bear a slaver's mark neither, but that could be explained by them being quite new to the 'profession'.

Growling softly, the Kast's gaze centered upon the redhead as he gestured her to approach, seating himself onto the bed himself. As he shifted his attention to Kirsty, the warlord merely stared for a moment before speaking, "You may entertain yourself. Your friend will be first. When she can go on no longer, then I shall have you." He was effectively dismissing the girl, saving her for later once he had tired Minerva out. It was certainly an opportunity for Kirsty to go and carry out her mission, as the Kast would have all of his attention upon Minerva. His attention back on Minerva, Varrik held his hand out. "Come, slave. It is time to please your master."

The young woman could stood moving a bit to make sure that she looked as alluring as possible. Her goal was the two fold, one was to protect the rookie agent from the warlord for as long as she hold out. Second she would provide cover for her brunette partner, enabling the woman to look for the missing agents. Still she could see the Kast was sizing up both the two agents. First he checked out Minerva and then Kristy as he seem to be studying their bodies, but not so much admiring them. It was like he was trying to figure them out. For a moment the redhead had wondered if their cover was blown.

Then the Warlord growed softly and gestured to Minerva come to him. The warlord then dismissed Kristy allowing her to go somewhere else while he concentrated on the beautiful redhead. That would give her the chance to at least find where the other agents were being held. Meanwhile Minerva took the hand of Varrik. I am yours to do with what you will. How may I please you m'lord. Minerva moved her body close to him as she knew he want to get started right away. For now she had to buy as much time with her body as she can.

Kirsty bowed her head as Minerva was chosen as she nodded, "As you wish my lord...I shall await your call for me," Kirsty said in a soft submissive tone as she walked away gently and smiled in secret.

Lucky break...now to find those Agents Was her inner thoughts as she began to explore the place as best she could looking for any clues about where slaves in the tower where kept...

She glanced around the room of the Warlord mostly looking like an awaiting slave girl for now trying to find any kind of sign of the girls.
