SpaceGirl's Crusade Part I
DREAM
A bright vortex of brilliant red light suddenly flashed in the emptiness of space, near 4th planet of Xenora star system and one small starship jump out from it, a scout ship, decelerating into normal speed. It begun to make some maneuvers and the ship moved more slow until it finally stopped, maintain steady position on upper orbit of the giant gas planet, hiding between asteroids that form rings of the planet. The sleek ship had Federation marking on its twin tail and in its cockpit, a lone beautiful Asian human female, seemed busy adjusting equipment in front of her. The pilot, Hitomi Kotani, the young ADD agent, sat on cockpit chair, had just setting shield equilibrium of her ship, and after that begun concentrating on the main display which show navigational data and short note about the system she had just entered. She read them carefully:
“ADD Planetary Information Database, file S23-459-L:
Xenora is a double stars system with six planets orbiting them. The stars them self rotating one another. The primary central star is an A class, blue star, and the other one is an E class dwarf, cold star. This planetary system has been placed as a restricted area of space by Federation Science Council because the intense radiation from the twin stars has lethal effect to any life forms. The planets orbiting these stars as follows are:
Xenora 1, is a small radiated planet with no atmosphere, cold high density iron core, high gravity, can not support known live form, and high revolution compared to earth standard, with extreme surface temperature. Xenora 1 was known to be maintaining the closest orbit to its stars.
Xenora 2, is a medium barren planet with thin atmosphere. The surface of the planet are mainly consist of rocky plain surface and several active volcanoes, has active core, medium gravity, can not support known live form, and medium revolution compared to earth standard, with high surface temperature. This planet has active weather with hostile lightning and seismic equipment confirms many earthquakes that shatter the planet surface.
Xenora 3, is a medium planet with breathable atmosphere suitable for human standard. The planet surface consists mainly of desert with many rocky mountains and volcanoes, has active core, normal gravity, can support a human colony, with normal revolution compared to earth standard, and temperature ranging from 10 to 50 degree Celcius, This planet has active weather and earthquake rarely occur.
Xenora 4, is a giant gas planet, has strong magnetic and gravitation field, with atmosphere consist mainly of Hydrogen and Helium, and very active weather. There are layers of rings on planet equator, consist of ice and rock asteroids. It is the only planet in the system that has a moon orbiting around it. This moon, designated as Xenora 4-A, is a small barren planetoid body, with out atmosphere, and plain surface. No additional information can be obtain due fierce magnetic and gravitation emitted from Xenora 4.
Xenora 5, is a small jungle planet with rich native organisms with breathable atmosphere for human standard. The surface of the planet is covered with high densities plant organism and biology scan has detected animal life forms live in it. Has active core, normal gravity, suitable for human colony, normal revolution compared to earth standard, with warm temperature ranging from 20 to 41 degree Celcius. This planet has mild weather and earthquake rarely to occur.
Xenora 6, is a small planetoid with no atmosphere, rocky surface, below normal temperature core, weak gravity, can not support human colony, with extremely cold temperature, and low revolution compared to earth standard. It is known to be the farthest planetary body from the stars in the Xenora star system.
Other special object that worth for attention is an asteroid belt that exists between Xenora 4 and 5

If you want a complete planetary description, please select the appropriate topic.”
Hitomi took a deep breath, and then said with her soft voice, “Miyaki, search any detail description regarding Xenora 3.” She paused and then continued, “Is the communication system still malfunction?” Miyaki, the AI of her ship, responded with a feminine voice, “Confirm, Hitomi, communication system is still not working properly. We have lost communication with X-2A1 relay station completely. Diagnostic of the system shows no damage. Analysis suggest that source of this disruption is strong electromagnetic waves interference radiated from Xenora double stars.” Hitomi sighed. She knew that X-2A1 is the farthest relay station able built by ADD from earth. Although Xenora star system is still in range, the interference of intense radiation prevent her to communicate with her base even when she just only 1 parsec away from the relay.
Then she read the readout from a small display at her left console. It displayed the condition outside of her ship. Though hostile condition around her ship, all indicators shown that all defense systems are still in normal parameter. Then she spoke again to Miyaki, ”What if all engine power is transferred to boost the comm power emitter? Can we make it through?” Miyaki responded, “My analysis indicate that the energy transfer is not sufficient enough for the emitter to even get through the interference.” “Shit. Then we are on our own “ Hitomi blustered. “That’s correct, Hitomi” Miyaki answered calmly.
Then her AI begun to speak again, “Hitomi, may I remind you that you have a mission in Drake Star System. You will be late for your patrol assignment there. Further more, you also violated the Federation rule by entering this system.” Hitomi responded, “Yes, I am aware of my mission, Miyaki. I just want to take a look and see if there is a source of transmission somewhere in this system that may have caused my dreams.”
Miyaki seemed to confuse, “Hitomi, my scanner has indicated that there were no transmission been made from this star system at the times during your “dreaming” activity. I even didn’t detect any transmission from anywhere at anytime during our journey here.” Hitomi quickly answered, “That’s why I want to investigate. I just want to confirm that there were no transmitters in this system and I will promptly leave after I get the results. Don’t worry, Miyaki, I can explain this to Commander Black.” “As you wish, Hitomi.” Miyaki replied.
Then the main monitor displayed information Hitomi has asked earlier, while a hologram projected image of Miyaki 3. Before she read them, Hitomi ask,” How long until I have a full sensor sweep report of this system?” Miyaki seemed checking something before answered, ”Due to magnetic and radiation nature of this system, it will required 2 hours 27 minutes and 34 seconds from now to complete the scan and analysis all data.” Hitomi think something and then said,” OK, then Miyaki, continue sensor sweep and monitoring condition outside the ship. Oh, and, by the way, have you intercepted any kind of transmission originating from Xenora 3?” “No, Hitomi, I don’t detect any transmission of any kind. Why?” Miyaki asked with concerned tones in its voice. “Nothing.” Hitomi murmured. “Continue your task.”
Then Hitomi moved her attention to the information displayed in front of her. She read,
”File 123X3-Xe3. File created on January 4th 2241. This information was gathered by a probe 2X-134 launched by science vessel Nova at December 7th 2240. Xenora 3 is an arid desert planet with many rocky mountain and volcanoes. Distance from the stars is ranging from 1.508.374 km to 2.475.318 km. Atmosphere of the planet is indicated as class A, composed largely of Oxygen and Nitrogen. Temperature is ranging from 10 degrees Celsius on its poles, 25 to 40 degrees Celsius on 65% of surface and up to 50 degrees Celsius on certain desert and mountain. Volcanic activity detected on several regions close to South Pole of the planet. The upper atmosphere seems to have strong magnetic field that cover all of the planet, making it as a natural shield for intense radiation and heat from its twin sun. Weather ranging from windy to heavy sand storms, which causes the planetary weather to be classified as Class 6 Weather. The probe also indicated several mineral resources on the surface and in subterranean, probably radioactive elements. Bio scan detected no organism on the surface of the planet. Recommended for colonization.”
End transmission.
Hitomi hit another topic on the display and suddenly her pretty eyes are widened with excitement. The next file had been encoded with Alpha Encryption Code, meaning only few people had authorization to read it. She quickly ordered her computer, “Miyaki, open this file. Authorization for Alpha Encryption Code is Raven 14-76.” Miyaki responded, “Authorization is recognized. File has been decrypted. Please standby.” Then the message in the main display changed to planetary surface readout and notes of the classified information. It said,
“File 442X3-Xe3. File created on February 2nd 2241. Warning: this file is protected with Alpha Encryption Code.
The planetary probe Nova 2X-134 has detected several structures, mostly located on the Northern hemisphere. Exactly coordinate of the site is 24.34 degree by 75.6 degree. We believed the site to be ancient in origin. The buildings seems to be made from organic compound and preserved by rocky mountains that encircle them, blockade hostile sand storms and protected the site from erosion. Recommended for a class 1 expedition to investigate the artifact site.”
End transmission.
Hitomi smiled but then it quickly faded into serious mimic. According the log following after the file, the Federation science vessel Nova had been ordered to orbiting the Xenora 3 and sent their scientists down to investigate the artifact site. Several hours before they jumped to the system, the Nova crew reported that all of the female crews of Nova when sleeping had a series of dreams. The female crews reporting what they called as “unstructured mental pictures” which they believed came from Xenora Star System. But the crews certain that were no transmissions have been made from anywhere while the female crews were sleeping. No explanation had ever been made by the Nova crews about these phenomena. That report was the final transmission ever made by Nova to the Federation High Command before the ship vanished. No explanation of why, when, or how the ship and all of the crews on board had disappeared without trace had been made. The Nova and its crews, until now, had been declared missing by Federation High Command and rescue attempts had been made. The search parties didn’t come back either. Then Federation High Council restricted the system as a forbidden area concerning that high radiation emitted from its double stars is dangerous for any live form to even near them. They have placed several beacons just outside the system to broadcast the warning to any visitor who might want to enter the system. Only an authorized ship can enter the system.
Hitomi slowly stood from her chair and watched the beautiful scene outside her ship, her hands were on her hips. She admired sharp colors of Xenora 4, dominated with brown to orange shade. In the background, at the left side of the gas giant were the double stars of Xenora. The stars shone brightly, as its light partially blocked by Xenora 3 orbiting the stars. Then she told Miyaki, “Miyaki, download all detail information regarding this system and its surrounding area, science vessel Nova and its crew, and my mission objective in Drake Star System to my PAD, including restricted files.” “Affirmative, Hitomi.” Miyaki answered dutifully.
Hitomi then walked to her quarters. “No time to waste”, she thought, as she approached and opened her steel briefcase that contains her advance equipment. ADD always equips their high class operatives with the latest and the most advance gadgets on their disposal. Even the technology possess by ADD is so advance that makes the military pale by comparison.
Hitomi smiled. In front of her, packed in neat order, were all of her equipment: a laser pistol and its power charge, a vibro knife, a black light steel back pack, a visor helmet, a wrist sensor and light combo, and a pack of her concentrate ration. And the most of all, a transparent small box contain black thick liquid with a PAD attached on top of it. This liquid is the latest, state of the art, technology added to her inventory. All of her equipment then was placed on her small table.
Hitomi thought wander to her previous activity before departing from Federation Outpost in Zora Star System. The outpost was her last visiting point before she assigned to patrol duty in Drake Star System and Hitomi had secretly been briefed for the last mission she must conduct. Even the outpost commander didn’t know the nature of Hitomi mission, other then, as what she always says, ‘a routine courier task to deploy science probes’. She just only knew that Hitomi was a military scientist that working on mundane tasks, so she didn’t interested much about Hitomi activity. Low profile always comes first for an ADD agent and Hitomi is no exception. Her true mission in Drake Star System was conducted a secret infiltration and monitoring of Inju activity on a planet in that system. ADD worried that the activity in the planet could be a precursor of new aggression into Federation space. So far Federation can hold the Inju menace and quarantine all planets infected with those hideous monsters. The last encounter ever been made by human was done by Hitomi herself with the help of an elite military commando at Kentauris Star System. Because of her ‘experience’ and her skill, Hitomi was selected by Commander Black as single operator to run this task.
Her thought became incoherent, and somehow, her eyes felt so heavy. The long journey from the outpost and Xenora Star System has cost her considerable amount of her energy. So she took a quick meal and then rested her slender body in a sleeping pod. After adjusting her position comfortably, she quickly drifting to peaceful sleep.
At first, Hitomi felt nothing. But the black of nothingness became slowly faded away, changing into blurred, black and white, series of images, different images one by one visible in her mind. The images became cleaner and more focused.
And Hitomi felt something else. Feeling. Pain. Sad. Anger. All mix in a turbulence of chaos. The black and white image suddenly became colorful, and Hitomi can saw a fast plain of desert, sandstorm raking in the distant, sorrow, brown sky full with dust and sand flying everywhere. As she fascinated by the scene in front of her, somehow she sensed that there was something else behind her. She turned around her vision, looked behind her, and saw a high rocky mountain. And exactly between of the mountains, a plain land, with several things that looked like a cross between giant mould and potato, with dark green color, red spots and veins dominated their surface.
Hitomi found herself moving closer to one of the big mould. It had skins quality that looked organic and the important thing that caught her eyes were the burn marks that were left all over its body. She watched the other mould. All of them had scorch marks scattered over them, like somebody had burnt them with fire. Most of those moulds were not in complete form and had damages, cracked visible in many of them. The mould in front of Hitomi for example had a big cracked with dark space inside. At first she didn’t see anything. But after awhile, slowly she could recognize something inside the mould. Organs, something liked big heart and other with white and dark red sacs. All of them had thick, gray slime and burnt marks. Empty ground between the moulds, were debris, burnt debris, with the same color of the moulds. She saw below her, the ground she was standing on was not made of dust or sand, but rather something like purple, slimy flesh, mixed with dusts and sands. The ground where all these moulds and debris lied were covered with these slimy substances. She noticed that all of these moulds surround one, bigger, dark red mould. It seemed planted to the purple, slimy ground like the other moulds. And Hitomi spotted something else. The red mould had many roots, white roots, connecting all the moulds into one, becoming fast network of roots. The roots were also not in good condition as she noticed cuts, scorched marks, and bleeding gray liquids.
She then being redirected, this time she felt she moved to the dark green giant mould in the center of the complex. Open wounds were everywhere on its surface with many veins broken. Its bleed gray goo, and somehow Hitomi noticed that there were weak pulses inside them. She sensed that emotion become stronger too from this mould. It had big cracked, almost like an organic cave, with many tendrils, roots, slithering everywhere. Some kind of small slimy moulds or egg cases from every size protruded everywhere. As she approaching the crack of the giant mould, she saw something else deep inside it, a living creature, in the center of a chamber, alien word echoed everywhere, with one word she now fully understood, ‘HELP … BE CAREFUL … ENEMY …’ and suddenly Hitomi woke up to the reality. Hearing the sound of her ship’s engine, Hitomi wiped her face with her hand, starred to the ceiling and said something in her mind, “Oh, my God, I know now” and she quickly stood and walked to the cockpit. It now made all sense to her, and she dared to bet a full years salary, that her dream had something to do with the artifact site the crew of Nova had found earlier before on Xenora 3.
“Report, Miyaki” Hitomi ordered while she took her seat. Miyaki responded with usual calm voice, “All situations are unchanging since we have arrived in this system.” Hitomi checked her PAD and found all of the reports she requested had been downloaded there. She smiled in satisfaction and placed the PAD on her sleeve pocket. She had made a decision, so she asked Miyaki, “How much time we require to travel from this point to orbit position around Xenora 3?” Miyaki answered in efficient manner, “At maximum speed, we will reach the planet in 24 minutes and 35 seconds.” “We will go there in maximum speed,” Hitomi said with confident voice. “Hitomi, are you sure? By going there you have violated High Command Resolution … “ “I know, Miyaki.” Hitomi sighed. “I know what I’m doing. “As you wish.” Miyaki said. Then the main display shown trajectory and the distance, “Course laid, Hitomi. Shall I proceed?” “Proceed with caution. After we reach maximum speed, cut all power to the engine and keep the ship momentum and direction to the planet. Use Xenora 4 magnetic field as a cover for ship movement. Go to this coordinate at Xenora 3.” Hitomi hit several digital buttons in the navigation computer. “And let me know when we reach the planet.” “Affirmative, Hitomi.” Miyaki said and the ship begun moving to top speed, heading straight to Xenora 3 position.
Hitomi sit still on her chair watching speed indicator on the display ahead of her until her ship reached its top speed. Then she hears the ship’s engine shutting down. She then stood and went to her quarters. Approaching the table, she begun unbuttoning her tight gray military uniform, her standard military issue, slipped it off from her upper torso, revealing her luscious body. Her breast covered by black satin bra. The uniform hanged on her hip when she took off her bra and dropped it, revealing her perfect globe. She then bent down and begun to unzip her magnetic boots and tossed them aside. Then she slipped all of her uniform down with gentle motion. Her panty came down next and she now was totally nude. A healthy young girl she is, with sexy body, she sure hit a mother load, no doubt of that. She took the transparent box with thick black liquid inside it, opened it and spilt all of the liquid on her naked body. In an instant, the liquid was alive and begun to spread, widening, covering her smooth upper body. Hitomi moaned and shivered slightly when the liquid moved to cover her breast, her skin tingled with the sensation. It continued tracing her form to the narrowest, most intimate parts of her body. Hitomi watched with wonder when the liquid flowed and covered her hands completely. She closed her eyes and moaned even more when it reached sensitive area between her thigh, relentlessly flowed with gentle motion, moved downward, covered her legs entirely. The liquid seemed to know her body well, stopping to flow when it had reached her neck, and became solid and thicker on her legs, hands, and torso, while several small circles begun to form on her hip, thigh, and her back. All transformations were complete.
Hitomi opened her eyes slowly and glanced at her body. “Wow,” She thought when she noticed how hot and inviting her body was. The suit, as been told, was one from many advance gadgets the ADD got from various sources, including aliens. The black liquid actually consisted from billions, semi sentient, organic compounds, which had been set specifically for unique individual. This organic suit can protect its owner naturally from deadly vacuum, radiation in space, hostile environments and still keep body temperature on normal parameter, but those are not just that. It also a body armor, can sustain heavy blow or pressure from even a cannon blast, but in limited exposure and damage tolerance. Each time it gets damage, the organism will replenish itself, repairing damage parts of the suit instantly, all while still protecting the owner’s body. This mechanism, take amounts of energy, which will be supplied from the small steel backpack Hitomi must place behind her. The backpack contains energy and oxygen reserves, for limited amount of time. It also contains a small medikit for treating light flesh wounds and a hightech gas recycle unit for recycling unbreathable or poisonous gas from outer environment into useful air for breathing.
For a while, Hitomi forgot about her mission, admired herself in shiny, slick looking, black skin tight suit. She even spun, lifted her left leg and then her arms above her head to test her agility. It was so light, so balanced, so unrestricted. Hitomi lowered her hands, place them on her chest, running her fingers to her breasts, feel them, pinch her nipples slightly, downed again to her stomach and stopped on her hip. The suit felt smooth, almost rubbery. As she look down, she noticed the raised heels of her suit boots elevated her height slightly, in addition to making her legs and buttocks look even more magnificent than they already did. Unconsciously her dainty hand ran down her flat stomach and over her crotch, lingering there for a few scant seconds.
“Well”, thought her naughtily, “I must keep this one.” Giggling, she went back to the table, and took a set of small, electronic devices from the empty vessel. She placed the device, a sleek thin digital display, on her upper left wrist. The display stuck with her suit there and became alive with colorful readouts and digital buttons. It shown the condition of her suit, amount of reserves, and other things concerning other devices she used. She took another device, a small dual light beams and sensor eyes, and placed it on her right wrist. It also stuck with her suit there, and the indicator in her left wrist flashing to tell her that the device was also online. She tried her flashlight, and dual white light became visible. She turned it off and the light then vanished.
She took attention to her phase pistol and its ammo charge. She took her gun first, checked the ammo in it, point the gun, feeling save, her face smiled in satisfaction, and placed it at her right thigh, followed with the ammo. She took another weapon, a vibro knife and turned it on, and noticed that the blade became vibrate slightly. This powerful weapon can cut even the hardest granite. Hitomi turned the knife off and places it at her left thigh.
A small thin box came to her attention next. It contained her mission ration for when she was out of her ship. Her ration contained food extract and water necessary to keep her body in healthy condition for up to one month. She took the box and placed it on her left hip. She thought something and with quick motion, grabbed her discarded military uniform on the floor, and took her PDA from its sleeve pocket.
Finally, the last equipment she must use, a visor helmet, taken from the table by Hitomi and she slipped it on her head. Her long black hair automatically sucked into a small container and she heard a soft hiss sound. The breathing apparatus seemed to work fine as she checked it on her left wrist display. Except the breathing apparatus, her helmet also contained a small micro processor on the upper back of her helmet, visor that can be used as a binocular and graphic display, and a compact communication device on both left and right helmet with a microphone. The comm device can also be used as electronic ears, enhanced Hitomi hearing when she used her helmet.
She tested her sensors by pointing it toward the table near her, and the visor responded with notes and diagrams of the scanned table. “Cool,” Hitomi said. “Can you hear me, Miyaki?” She asked her computer. Miyaki immediately replied, “Yes, Hitomi. I can hear you crystal clear.” Hitomi laughed and took off her helmet. Her hair was loosed from its container. She then walked back to her cockpit and sat on the chair while she placed her helmet on her lap. She hit several digital buttons on the right display and saw the brown color planet which became very big on her front main screen before asked her AI, “How much time left before we reach the planet?” Miyaki answered, “Four minutes and 14 seconds.”
Hitomi could now see the detail of the planet’s atmosphere much more clearly. Light clouds were everywhere like thin mist. She noticed several storms with lighting rocking the rocky surface of the planet. The surface itself could be seen almost clearly through the brown cloud, full with many mountains, valley, big circles that were formed by the impacts of meteors, and else. Many objects floating in low orbit of the planet and Hitomi and Miyaki headed right into the middle of them. Hitomi quickly ordered, “Miyaki, try to avoid these objects.” As the ship begun its maneuvers, Hitomi saw that they were not natural asteroids, but rather like pieces of organic material, floating everywhere. “What the …, Miyaki, analyze those asteroids.”
Miyaki answered, “Unknown composition. But they were organic in nature.” “Why we cann’t detected them?” Hitomi asking again. Miyaki said, “The radiation severely limited my long and short range scanner and these objects seems to contain substances that can absorb energy. That’s probably why these object can not show in my scanner.”
Hitomi grumbled, “To much ‘unknown’,” as her ship dodge a big asteroid and made final preparation to enter the atmosphere. She then touched several button on navigation screen and fastened her seatbelt. The ship shuddered as it hit first layer of outer planet’s atmosphere, the energy shield glowed, as the magnetic field hit gas and dust particles on planet’s atmosphere, prevented the ship from becoming a fireball. For several minutes, the vibration was hard as her ship penetrated the thick gas. Her vision was blurred by thick brown clouds in the atmosphere and the shield bright glow. But slowly the vibration and the cloud faded, leaving her encased in the low hum of her ship’s engine and clear view of the rocky mountain below of her.
Between many valleys scattered down there on the surface of planet, Hitomi saw the alien structures in purposely chaotic pattern, located on plain rocky ground, between a series of brown mountains encircled them. Hitomi then said to Miyaki, “Prepare landing cycle. Land on coordinate number three.” “Affirmative, Hitomi,” as her ship slowly flied to the destination point. Her ship’s maneuvering jet worked to balance her ship, slowly approaching the ground, the landing gears retracted, and then the ship landed on the ground with gentle touch. The engine then automatically shut down. Landing procedure has been completed
Miyaki automatically scanned the surrounding area and then reporting to Hitomi, “Due to large composition of metal dust in the atmosphere, your communication with me will be cut after you have walked 10 meters away from the ship. Also the storm out there will severely limit your range of view to several meters only. So you must rely on your digital map to find your way to the artifact Site. Be careful out there, Hitomi?” Hitomi responded with a smile in her face, “I will. Thank you for your report. Run your security algorithm and prepare for anything bad.”
Hitomi un-strapped her safety belt and move to decontamination chamber. The door slid open to let her in and seal in behind after she walked in. Hitomi donned her helmet and made a quick check to all of her equipment. Everything was OK. She hit several buttons near exit door to initiate air cycle. A low hiss sound became apparent, as the air system conditioning the air in the chamber to match the outside atmosphere. When completed, green light blinked and Hitomi pulled a lever. The exit door slid open and Hitomi was greeted with thundering wind and storm. The wind and thunder sounds were so loud, forcing her to reduce the background sound to acceptable level. The lightning strikes were very bright, but her visor helmet done its job, protected her beautiful eyes from these otherwise blinding light. She held the door, took a deep breath, and stepped down from her ship to dusty desert bellow. She could hear the storm, wailing around her, dust and sand swallowing everything, and soon as she looked back after walking a few meters, she realized that her ship had disappeared from her view. The light from the Xenora stars looked dim, blocked mostly by dust clouds. She walked again, her eyes always checking compass readout in her helmet display to ensure she didn’t loose her track. After several minutes of walk, she had checked and realized that she had just lost contact with Miyake. She was alone.
An hour of walk later, maybe even shorter if she could use her hover bike, she noticed a large tower like buildings emerging on her view. She stopped and scanned her surrounding. Not much to tell, except that now she was walking on hard, rocky land, not on bowl of the desert. A quarter hour latter, she can clearly saw the shade of mushroom buildings in front of her. Hitomi’s visor begun to work, zoomed the view and from the readout on the display, she was not far away from the artifact site. Extended her right hand, she checked if her sensors would detect anything suspicious, but found none. She noticed that the ground has changed from rock to soft purple organic flesh.
“I’m here.” Hitomi thought, “Now or never.” As she walked again, trying to figure out the place she saw before on her dream, and soon found one. She walked to that spot and realized that the storm is far weaker, just a mild breeze of dusty wind. “Probably because of the mountain wall.” She thought as her eyes wandered to organic buildings in front of her. She soon found the nearest mushroom, which exactly like the one she saw in her dream and quickly run to it. She found the crack and dark chamber inside, so she turned on her light and pointed it into the building. She scanned the interior, and although she had expected it, the view made her gasp.
Many soft objects, obviously bodily organs of some kind were scattered around in the interior. And the size of them were magnificent. Several of them were even as large as her body. They were purple, covered with white goo. Hitomi slowly scanned the interior, noticing that almost all of organs had no heat signature. After a quick look, Hitomi decided to go to her final destination, the central organic structure. She walked away, and soon she saw the one she looking for and the cave.
She slowly approached the cave opening and entered it. At first the passage was wide enough for her to walk easily. But after a few meters ahead, the fleshy wall started to narrow, and soon she found that the only way for her to continue her journey was by pushing and squishing her body between the organic walls. Her black suit was wet and slick with the mucus produce by the wall, in one way making her easier to push her way in, and in another, very perverse way, made her somehow excited. She eventually found that her way in into the building was not to be achieved by merely walking along the narrow channell. She sometimes had to climb up the tight crack between the walls. Forcing her way between the fleshy walls made a larger part of the her body to come in touch with the wet, slimy, material. This contributed to Hitomi’s arousal, which was becoming more apparent. She was finding, strangely, that for every move she made, crawling, straddling, etc…. in the fleshy walls made her feel like they were massaging her body, specially her boobs. This was actually making her more excited. Occasionally, she found her passage blocked by hard shells, which she easily got rid of using the vibro knife.
After half an hour of struggling and crawling, she reached the main chamber. The chamber was not too wide, almost round in form, with many mounds and tendrils everywhere, and all of them were covered with thick gray mucus. Light was dim there, the only source of illumination seem to be the glow from an alien green light which seem to come from nowhere. She saw in the middle of the chamber, a large flesh blob, pulsing, alive with a yellow glow came from inside it. Its height was roughly the same with Hitomi’s. There were small pools and hole around it, each of them full with thick, dark green goo, boiled with many bubbles. White and oversize anemones were every where between them. And there many things that made a normal woman sick by the view, but because of her experiences, Hitomi has developed higher tolerance to deal with these feeling. For her, what she saw was a beautiful, and somehow erotic, sight. Gurgle sounds can be heard clear. Hitomi walked closer to the large blob, her legs were half buried in thick goo, while she scanned it with her sensors. The display readout said that it was unknown life form, no data in the record. Her breath become more deepen, and somehow her emotion playing havoc inside her mind, like she has been drugged or something. She much felt more excited and energetic than before.
Something in her mind told her that it was safe for her to open her helmet and the urge was high. At first she hesitant, but after confirming from the scan that noting harmful for her health, she slowly open her it. A high hiss sound and burst of white gas followed after Hitomi opened her helmet safety lock. She took and held it, tasting the air outside her. The air was sweet, humid, and surprisingly warm for her taste and she then breathed deeply. She then untied her hair which dropped in front of her. While doing that, she had another great urge, as someone inside her told her to open her suit as well. This time, her logic did its homework. It screamed for her not to do it, that’s maybe it was a trap or something else. But her urge was winning over her logical mind, as it said that it was save for her to do it. Hitomi begun hitting several buttons on her left wrist. Her black suit liquidate, slowly flowed down from her body, and become solid and pack in form of small cube with her left wrist display, which also fell from her. All of her equipment also dropped from her body, several of them floating, while the other drown in the goo around her.
Before she even realized what she had done, several tendrils became alive, lashed and coiled around her body. She screamed, and carelessly fell into one of the small boiling pool. The pool seemed to widen and deepen to accommodate her body as she fell into it. The green goo felt warm and thick, it splashed everywhere when she dropped in. She tried to get out but in vain as thick tentacles burst out from bottom of the pool, pinned her legs and arms spread eagle down in the pool., her head was held above the goo. She screamed again, struggle to escaped, but more tentacles grabbed her body, dampened her attempt which became a lot more weaker. Several more tentacles, this time with many eyes like organ on the tip, emerged from the blob, hovered and moved around her body, observing her.
“How can I be so dumb.“ that’s the only words she can think of. Something else stirred in her mind, somehow ensuring her not to be frightened and just relax. But Hitomi kept struggling while her eyes watched the tentacles carefully. Several minutes, which felt like a year, had past for Hitomi and her mind became more panicked. Somehow she knew what this thing wanted from her and she trying hard not to think about it. And then suddenly, she was lifted from the pool and her body was moved to a small wet flesh pit near the big blob. Its size was just big enough for her to be spread eagled upon it and deep enough for her to be laid in it. Hitomi closed her eyes, refusing to believe what had happened to her, as her body was transferred into the pit. Several thin tentacles shot from the pit to receive her body, and slowly brought her down into the pit. When her back felt the bottom of the pit, Hitomi opened her eyes wide in shock. There were thousand slimy white anemone like things everywhere in the pit, covering her body, several thick one kept hold of her arms and legs in previous position while the others kept her head a little higher than her lower body, so she can saw her legs. They squirmed around her body, tickling even the most hidden bits of her body. Several of them begun secreting thick transparent liquid and lubricating her body. This aphrodisiac liquid sipped into her skin and slowly her body become more and more light and sensitive.
“Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh…,” Hitomi moaned despite herself. She tried to refuse the pleasure the anemones gave to her but to no avail. It felt so good to her. Her body begun to betray her, as her nipples jutted away in excitement, her cunt slick with her own love juice, and her clitoris swelled out of its sheath. Several of big tentacles, the size of a mans arm, with sucker mouth begun to move, targeting her ears, breast, and groin. As they approached, the mouth opened, revealing wet lamprey like tongues. Each of them swallowed all of Hitomi’s sensitive parts of her body, as their tongues washed them. Hitomi bit her lips, tried to block the increasing lust, her face flushed between embarrassment and excitement. Each time she tried to think something else, the tentacles increased its pace of works, pleasure wreak havoc in her mind and made her concentration more difficult and passion slowly but surely winning the fight. She stopped fighting and relaxed her body, to ride the pleasure the creature gave to her.
“Oh God. It’s so good.” Were all she thought at last when she reached the first orgasm. She screamed even more, when a tentacle with anemones emerge from its tips entering her wet pussy and pushed inward, its rough surface rubbed her inner sugar wall, while the anemones lick its way to her G-spot. “Yessss, oh, more, more, fuck meeeeeeeeeee…” her words escaped from her lips, her body shivered as the thick tentacle in her cunt began to pump itself in and out of her, stirring her body’s natural reflexes and making her produce more lubricants.
Lust became the ruler of her mind and body, driving her into wild world of intimate desire. “Mmmmmmnnnnnnnnngh…” One more tentacle shot pass her lips, made same piston move in and out her mouth, which she sucked greedily. It felt soft and its taste compelled her carnal urges. Orgasm after orgasm took hold, rippling through out her voluptuous body.
Hitomi thought she was in haven. Her eyes closed as the tentacles in her mouth and her cunt spurt some white liquid in her body. Her breast jiggled like jello as she sucked the tentacle in her mouth greedily. Her cunt aching with constant stimulation and still she wanted more. No, she needed more. Sucking and slurping sound echoed in the chamber as tentacles and anemones continue worked at steady state.
“M…more.” Hitomi moaned softly. Without her noticing, another tentacle emerged near to her anal opening and slowly pushed inside her. Hitomi groaned in slight discomfort, but made no attempt to try and stop the invading tentacle. It soon matched the pistoning rhythm with the one inside the cunt.
Hours passed when tentacle in her cunt let go and something else replaced it. Hitomi opened her eyes. The tentacle in the mouth partially blocked her view but she saw it. A fat, ugly looking, white and slimy worm squirming in front of her cunt, held by a tentacle, ready to entered her. Its segmented body visible from Hitomi’s point of view. She tried to scream but her mouth only made a gurgle sound passed the tentacle placed in her mouth. The worm licked her still sensitive cunt and suddenly went passed her labia. She screamed again, this time pleasure took again her mind, and she gave in and let the worm drove into her. It felt surprisingly soft as the worm slowly disappeared into her, wriggling its way toward her cervix and into her womb. It stayed in there, made some position adjustments, and then stood still.
All tentacles let her go while the anemones ceased to tickle her. Hitomi begun to regain her sense back again and tried to wake up, but the bulge in her womb prevented her to sit properly. Exhausted by the ordeal, Hitomi laid again in the pit, and then quickly slip into blissful dreamland.
Hitomi’s eyes opened slightly. Several hour of sleep had made her regain strength and she felt clear headed. She wondered that the whole thing that happened to her was just her dream. But the slimy organic walls and tentacles around her moved like snake ready to strike wiped her doubt. She tried again to wake up but now not just bulging in the womb that prevented her to sit, but also a cramp. She felt soft stabbed pain in her womb, follow by another, but not too much. Her mind knew that it was time for her to give birth to this hideous creature she carried in her womb.
She laid again, but this time the anemones worked its magic, tied her up, tickled her whole body, while the tentacles with sucker mouth begun attacking her breast and her vagina. Her passion grew again, and for now she really surrender her body to those devilish appendages that worked around her. Moan and screams of pleasure filled the chamber again, this time with wanton abandon. The cramps became more intense and the first sign the worm inside her wanted to go out was when rushes of white goo came out from her, followed by small white tentacles. The tentacles grabbed her vagina lips and accidentally her clitoris as well. It made Hitomi scream even more. The small tentacles had a firm hold, it tried to pull out its body. Painfully slowly, the whole body of the worm begun to emerge. Hitomi’s body spasm, her cunt muscle tried to help expelled the creature inside her. It felt like being raped inside out and then, with a pop and blissful scream, the worm, or something like that, came free from her and fell to the anemones in front of her cunt. Its form has changed some how, not like a white, fat segmented worm, but grayish looking squid like with big sacs. It was still slimy and even more ugly than previously when it entered her.
Sigh of relief came from her red wet lips. As she sat, she watched with amazement as the small squid was picked up by a sucker tentacle, gently, and brought it to the big blob. When it reach there, the squid extended all of its tentacle and stick tightly on the surface of the blob. It slowly merged with the blob, its sacs slowly became smaller and smaller, like injected something into the blob. She noticed that the light inside the blob was becoming brighter. The pulses were more dynamic and Hitomi saw that the blob was slightly bigger. And she felt something else.
Messages, emotions, pictures, came into her mind, mix in one quick burst. She felt that her thought connected with the blob. It thankrd her and tried to tell her story. Story that had aged a thousand years became clear in just a short time.
Once upon a time, about 7.000 thousands years ago, an old race, which human anthropology society knew as T’loth, had lived with prosperity and in peace, occupied the region approximately half of the Milky Way, including earth. They slowly expanded their sphere of influence and at one time stumbled upon another race with a very bad attitude. This race attacked the T’loth without provocation. The invading race was only known as the Plunderer and the two fought centuries of war, costing major grief for both sides. They both had comparable technology and war machines. One for a peaceful way of life, the other for nothing other than complete conquest. Then a horrible thing happened.
In a desperate attempt to win, the T’loth built advanced experimental bio engineered weapons, semi sentient creatures, capable of independent thinking. This organic weapon when launched into enemy space, caused major destruction, as this weapon multiplied fast in numbers and attacked the enemy in devastating efficiency. The weapon acting like a troupe of commandos, dropped into enemy planets, built their hives, gather resources for their forces, and attack the Plunderer by surprise and superior numbers. They used coordinated assaults, learnt quickly to adapt to changes in environment, enemies etc. They even could produce new units if necessary. These weapons successfully turned the balance, as they hit their creator’s enemy in their own territory viciously. But before completely being wiped out, the Plunderer had developed a counter measure. They used programmable virus to mutate the organic weapons by introducing new DNA sequence to change its memory core. This mutated weapons then launched and begun attacking the other fellow weapons by infected them, like a disease, and soon, with considerable numbers, they begun attacking the T’loth’s outer colony.
The attack lasted for decades, as their creator tried to defend themselves from this new threat. In one of few last battles, these mutated weapons successfully penetrated deep into T’loth territory, hit the capital planet and drove the defending fleet to retreat to their remaining colonies. During retreat, these forces had managed to complete some kind of vaccine to counteract the virus. The vaccine intended not only used to restore the original DNA sequence, but also to was to stop them from reproduction, by altering DNA’s necessary for duplication. The T’loth knew that if they didn’t do that, their weapons would cause further chaos everywhere.
The enemy sentient weapons, which introduce them self simply as Plunderer Arms, had planted spies deep in their creator forces, by inserting special units with camouflaged DNA signature. These spies could morph into anything solid and managed to get the information about the new vaccine and passed it to their central hives. The decision was quickly made. The Plunderer Army attacked the planets that produced the vaccine, successfully destroying them in one swift move. Then, without something else to challenge them, this infected weapon begun their main objective: complete extermination of their former creator.
The T’loth had never found the enemy that was so eager to destroy them all. This enemy, so anxious, so relentless, attacked waves after waves with devastating forces, completely obliterate their creator’s defensive forces, infected more and more of their organic units, so their ranks became greater in numbers. The defending race, realizing their peril, took immediate actions. They regrouped their remaining forces in their last stronghold, defending them self, buying some times, so they can finished a final weapon, which they hope will end their nightmare. They used every effort to provoke enemy units to mass their forces for final strike. Then the final show down begun.
The Plunderer Arms units begun entering the defending planet system and started their final slaughter. They came from everywhere, as the defending forces had nowhere to run, fighting for one last destiny they waited for so long, to become free. As almost all of the enemies flooded the system, the defending forces activated their final hope, a super bomb, which would be detonated inside the star. Once detonated, the super bomb collapsed the whole star into a black hole, while the effect of the blast, super heated gas, spread on every direction, incinerated all life in that system, and hopefully, all of the enemy units that entered the system. The Plunderer Arms units that survived the blast, can not escaped from gravity well newly created by the black hole, which would not only suck the enemy units in the system, but also those still in the sector and those in the hyperspace near the system.
The enemy forces were in chaos. As they tried to regroup, the Plunderer Armed forces suddenly attacked by fresh units of organic weapons. The T’loth before they vanished in the star explosion had managed secretly to hide their new breed of organic war machines in a pocket alien dimension, a new technology, which were not fully understood yet, but functional anyway. This pocket dimension were not affected by the star destruction and used to hide a group of these organic units, that capable of making vaccine on their own, so they were effectively invulnerable to the virus infected by their enemy counterparts. These new units hunted their enemies, which fled to everywhere in the galaxy, one by one, avenging their creator’s death.
These new organic weapons, Zoth as they name themselves, also spread to the whole galaxy, even in hyperspace, became dormant if they didn’t found their enemy and woke up from their long slumber if they detect one. Battle after battle had been done for thousand years until this day.
Somehow, nature had it own plan. For thousand years, these organic weapon evolve into a much more sophisticated organisms. They became capable of emotions, although in limited capacity. A real sentient race, indeed. Both sides also monitored the emerging young race, which one of them is human race.
The organic weapons with which Hitomi had met before in another missions, the so called Inju in human terms, were one of Plunderer Arms forces. They were back and ready to strike again. For some reason they found that human race’s DNA, especially female, suitable for their evolution to greater state, so they strategy were to get them as much as possible. Being an artificial organism, they lack several important DNA that normal natural organism had, as it had been done deliberately by their creator. They acquired new DNA sequences by breeding new generation of creatures in those human female hosts. With that, they add to their inventory DNA for constructing new weapons or buildings necessary for their ultimate mission: conquest, a mission that must be foiled at all cost.
Hitomi shook her head in disbelief. This tale was too incredible for even a fiction writer to describe. She now knew what the agenda of what she so call Inju. They movement in Drake system not just accidental, it was merely a preparation for further strikes. But the blob was not finished with its story yet. It transmitted another image into Hitomi’s mind again, this time it tried to tell her present incident, an incident that involve the missing Nova and its crews.
Approximately twenty years ago in the Xenora system, a battle raged between the infected weapons and their hunters. Both sides built their hives on Xenora 3 and hit each other with full force. The battle ended with the hunter’s victory as they eliminated most and assimilated a few of their enemies. As they regrouped, the hive was suddenly attacked by other Plunderer Arms forces that appeared to come from deep space. This surprise assault was successful in destroying almost all of the Zoth forces but not with substantial loss on the attackers’ side. The Plunderer Arms were forced to withdraw from Xenora 3. The only survivor of the Zoth forces were the center hive that have sustained heavy damage, but still manage to hide its vital organs to a protected site. They called for reinforcements from nearest star system which had never came using metaphysics wave, the very wave that seem also can be received by another live form, the human female. Apparently human females’ mind can reconstruct the wave in their sensitive and relax subconscious mind, explaining why they only can see the messages in their sleep.
Hitomi can saw the view of Nova heading straight to Xenora 3 orbit, its hangar bay opened, ready to launch a shuttle to the planet surface. Suddenly their ship was under attack by several asteroids like objects that came from behind the ship. They shot some kind of liquids and stick on the hull, bore it. Within second, most of Nova hull covered with thick organic substances. The ship rolled on its axis, seemed out of control, when suddenly one big nautilus like creature emerged. Its size was half of the Nova with strong big tentacles coming from the shell. It grabbed and held the ship, steady it, and slowly drag it out from its course into darkness of space.
Hitomi slowly sat back in the pit. The information she received had disturbed her much more than she realized. She knew how important all of this to her and Federation. The Federation was in danger, and must be warned quickly. Yes, that’s her next move.
But before she reacted and tried to stand, this Zoth blob begun transmitting again into her mind another images. This time Hitomi face froze in hesitance. Because of the attack and the damage has been caused, the blob insisted her to assist it in its mission. It needed her more then ever, because her DNA now was part of that thing, and it can not survive without her. In exchange for her help, it will provide her with any information and weapons in its arsenal, and also its war units, if it can found enough resources to build new forces. But first priority went to heal any damage to the center hive and its internal organ. After that, the hive will be packed into carapace and shoot itself into space, with destination is Xenora 4. That planet is suitable for the Zoth hive to expand, both because there are plenty of resource there and because it suspected to have enemy base some where that must be assimilate or be destroyed.
What make her doubtful, even blushed, was that to “help” meant using her body to host several creatures necessary for Zoth hive survival. Hitomi was unsure of what she must say. In one side it was disgusting for her to have an alien life form wriggling in her womb. But on the other hand, her last experience was much enjoyable to her, if not completely erotically thrilling! She shrugged then, decide that for every bad reasons involved, there were much more good reasons to keep the alliance and there for endure more ‘sexual punishment’. As long the ADD didn’t know what she was doing, that’s all fine for her, she thought. She knew that the fate of the earth and Federation rests to her hand. With smile of anticipation, Hitomi lied in the pit, while several tentacles moved, ready to impregnated her again…
