Part 5 – Encounter

"Hey Min," A voice echoed behind her. "Are you doing okay in there?"

If she could she'd look back and see who it was, but even with their small size it was a tight fit. As it was the ventilation shaft was barely big enough to have her arms under her body pushing the flashlight so she could see where she was going. Not being able to look back kind of made it hard to gauge how far she was, but judging by how far the voice sounded, she probably some fifteen to twenty feet inside the duct work.

"Y-yeah..." She tried to call back. "I th-think that I'm almost t-to the first j-junction."

Thanks to Dusine's directions and skills they had made their way to a security checkpoint, however, it seemed that it was a low priority here as it was off the beaten path. If they had tried to go straight to the station's core and command center, they'd never have been the wiser where the office was, along with a small armory adjacent to it. The problem was, the door was locked and the outside keypad would not respond, and nobody had anything that could hack into the system. It was Minuet that had pointed out the ventilation shaft and asked if they could somehow use that to get in.

That was how Min found herself wiggling through a cramp air duct.

"Okay," She heard Jordan call back. "Be careful and remember that it should be on your left side."

Minuet gave a light sigh as she steadied herself again and started to move forward. While progress was being made, it was a literal crawl as she made their way deeper into the ventilation shaft. The sound of metal flexing under her reverberated through the duct as she wiggled and crawled in the small passage. Up ahead, she could see the intersection in the reflecting light, though getting turned the right way looks like it might be a bit of a challenge...

Jordan sighed as he leaned back against the wall and slid down to the floor.

"Don't worry." Dusine said, trying to reassure the human. "I'm certain Minuet will make it through."

"It's not that I don't have faith in her," Jordan sighed as he looked up at the feline. "It's just that I feel more like a hypocrite after saying what I did to her in the hanger."

"You couldn't have known that we would get into this type of situation."

"True." He gave the wall behind him a thunk with his head. "But still, I can't help but to feel guilty for sending her in there."

Dusine made a low growl under her breath. "Would you crawl in that vent?"

Jordan blinked at the feline. "Of course, but it's too small, none of us would fit. You know that,"

"Did you force her in that vent?"

"No, she volunteered. You heard her."

"Okay." She said looking down at him. "There's nothing that you should feel guilty about."

He sighed again. "You're right..."

"Indeed. Part of being in charge is being able to keep up appearances that you know what you're doing to those under you, even if you give a command that you're uncertain of. As soon as others become aware that you are unsure, they will start to question your orders. Which isn't a good thing and will eventually lead to chaos. When we get out of this, we're going to be facing similar situations all through our careers. Minuet isn't going to be the last person that you will send into the unknown. Have faith in her, in others, and in yourself"

Dusine walked away and let her words sink through the human's mind.

It was another five to ten minutes before Minuet kicked at the cover to knock it out of place. She slowly squeezed out of the tight duct and gave a surprised squeak as she fell unceremoniously onto the floor below her. Min gave a sigh of relief as she picked herself up off the cold floor and brushed the gathered dust off her fur and tank top, causing her to sneeze.

Using the small flashlight, she found her way to the checkpoint's control room and went to the door to what she assumed was the door to the outside hallway. At first, she was unsure on how she might open the door as there was no manual mechanism that she could see right away. Shining the light around Min noticed a glass panel next to the door when the light reflected off of it. Pressing her paw to the panel lit up the control display and saw a bright red button with the word LOCK on the bottom of the touchpad. Giving it a try, she pressed the location and the location shifted from red to green along with a loud, audible click.

The door slid open and Kasey walked in with a sight huff. "It's about time." She mumbled as she hit the pad to bring the lights on in the control room.

A snort came from behind her as Kleo came in. "Hey, who's the one that needs to learn to behave? Min did a good job as far as things go." He walked over and gave the Mauluse a light pat on the shoulder.

"You know, it would be easier to get my hands on a newspaper since we're on a space station."

Kleo made a whine. "Come on Kasey... That joke wasn't funny back on the Runabout..."

"Who says I was joking?"

"Kasey, behave." Jordan barked as he came through the doorway followed by Dusine. Both of them walked over to the mouse and Jordan gave her a big smile. "Good job Min. Thank you."

"Koh... Koh... You're w-welcome." she said as she felt her ears heat up with the praise.

"Here's your clothes back." Dusine said as she held up the garments. Min blushed as she took her clothes and went to a secluded corner to get dressed again. She had forgotten that she only had a tank top and a pair of small panties on because the duct was so small and tight, no one wanted to have Minuet get stuck beyond anyone's help. Both guys couldn't help steal a glance in the direction of Min as she got dressed again.

Kasey gave Jordan an un-amused look. "Maybe Kleo shouldn't be the only one that should get bopped by a newspaper." Jordan's answer was to shoot her a glare that made her shut up with a huff.

Dusine sat down at the security computer and started to bring it online. Within a few minutes she was typing away on the keyboard.

"You're scowling Dusine." Jordan said as he looked over at the Caushae.

She looked up from what she was doing. "I'm thinking. For some reason the station is on lock-down and I can only access some of the system."

"What happened to cause that?" Kleo asked before Jordan could speak up.

Dusine sighed as she typed away, apparently not getting anywhere judging by the deepening scowl on her face. "That information is not accessible at this location. At least I can't get the computer to pull up any relevant information that would help."

Jordan walked up behind her as she leaned back in the chair. "I didn't think it would be that easy." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Any way to make things easier to move around?"

Dusine looked up to the human before taking a deep breath and moving back to the terminal that she was sitting at. She began to type away at the keyboard and within a minute several clicks could be heard around the room, making everyone jump while Minuet gave a surprise squeak.

Everyone went to the larger of the cabinets in the wall and Jordan pressed the keypad to the door. Soon the mechanism extended a weapons rack that could hold thirty pulse rifles easily. Due to either neglect or the fact that they were needed elsewhere, there were only two rifles in the rack.

"Shit..." Kasey muttered under her breath.

Jordan suppressed a groan of his own before turning to another wall cabinet and pressing the keypad, extending another rack for sidearms and other pistol-like weapons. "At least everyone can be armed now..." He said as he pulled one of the handguns off the rack. It was an older, bulkier model, much like some twenty-first century 45 pistol.

"Well some good news." He heard Dusine say. He turned and saw her putting on a small bracer like device and touch the top of it. The device beeped and soon a blue holographic projection floated above her arm. "This should allow us to get through any more lock doors." She grinned as she started to pluck some watch-like devices from the same equipment rack, handing one to everyone. "A communicator." She said simply. "At least it should let us communicate while here at the station.

Jordan nodded as he took the human device and put it on his wrist. He activated it and let it cycle through its system check before he opened a channel. "Gilder to Runabout Stardust Traveler. Rulve, Nasyn, do you have a copy?" A silence fell over the group as they waited for the response. After a few seemingly tense seconds, the communicator cracked as someone responded.

"Stardust Traveler to Gilder, I read you five by five." Theaz said.

Jordan, while happy that they were now able to communicate with the runabout, was still a bit confused. "Is everything Okay over there Theaz? I was honestly expecting either Rulve or Nasyn to answer."

There was a brief pause before Theaz replied. "Rulve is... indisposed at the moment and Nasyn and Celia had just left a little bit ago to the hanger's control room to get information on the station."

Jordan thought for a moment and nodded. "Sounds good. We have coms now if anything happens to come up. Let us know if they find anything of value."

"Understood. Theaz out."

Theaz sighed as she leaned back in the chair. They were now at a stand still until her two wayward companions showed back up, hopefully with better news than what they were currently sitting on. Rulve was laying down in a bunk, hopefully taking a nap that will help her mental state. Which leaves Nasyn and Celia, who has been gone for what was going on an hour. While no one knew the exact layout of the station, she couldn't help but wonder what was keeping the two.

She'll give them another hour before she will go look for the two...

Nasyn's muzzle was forced into an awkward kiss as Celia pressed into him and locked her lips to his. He could feel her tongue lap along his mouth trying to gain entrance. Parting his jaws ever so slightly, he could feel her force her way in and the appendage wrap around his. Her saliva entered his maw and it tasted like a fine wine to him, adding to the excitement that he felt. He had pushed her uniform off of her shoulders and it was now dragging on the floor as she tugged at his tank top, his uniform shirt long castaway on the floor during their heated embrace.

His hands felt the warm swollen spade that was between her legs. Marveling at how silky her skin and pubescent fur felt to his hand pads. She broke away from their kiss to throw her head back in a lewd gasp at his touch.

"Please... I-I n-need it..." She pleaded shakily as she looked into his eyes. Nasyn looked back at her and took his hand away from her sex and stroke her cheek. She turn to lick at his fingers. Shuddering slightly as she tasted herself on his paw, she felt a wave of shame creep over her.

"This... This isn't normal is it?" He asked solemnly as she nuzzled his hand.

"I don..." She started before she shook her head. "N-no... It's not. M-my body sh-shouldn't be doing th-this..." She closed her eyes and felt tears welling up. "I-Its not my t-time to be i-in season. A-and never felt anything th-this strong."

"Will..." The words came stumbling out of his mouth. While he was doing a little better than the wolf, he still felt the primal need to rut the heated Lykain. "Will doing it help clear our heads, you think?"

"YES!" She cried out a little too quickly. "No... I d-d-don't k-know. But it's worth a try, otherwise... I might take you anyway..."

Nasyn gave a reserve sigh as he closed his eyes. Up until this point he was still holding himself back, hoping that the wolfess would regain enough of her composure so they could escape back to the runabout. However now, it seemed like it was going to be very unlikely without them ending up coupling. He took a deep breath and as soon as he opened his eyes, he let his instincts fully take over.

He grabbed the stronger Lykain, spinning her around away from the wall that he had her pressed against and pushed her down onto the floor. He grabbed her legs and pulled her uniform the rest of the way off. Only taking the time to pull his own pants off and discarding them off somewhere in the room. Her eyes were like saucers as she looked up at his still standing form, surprised by his sudden forcefulness and the long, tapered shaft of his barbed cock sticking proudly out of his sheath.

He kneeled over her laying form, and his head quickly dove for the treasure pot between her thighs. She nearly screamed as she felt that rough feline tongue touch and invade her swollen lips, she could hear his purrs of approval as he licked her spade clean of her feminine juices. What felt like a torturous eternity, Nasyn pulled away and crawled up her body. The size difference between the two races would be quite apparent now that both were down to their fur. Nasyn's lithe Caushae frame was barely over half the Lykain's muscular athletic body and while he lined up his throbbing shaft, the top of his head barely peaked over her nose. But when that hot rod of meat speared her spade... Celia threw her head back as she howled in pleasure as Nasyn pushed himself into the hilt, pressing their hips together. She gasped as she felt them barbs on his cock pull at her walls as he pulled out of her tunnel, then gave a lewd moan as he pushed back in with a wet slick. He grunted as he pushed his way back in her heated sex as her walls clamp down on his member.

The room was soon filled with the lewd moans and groans of their coupling as he dove himself into the willing female. Both their minds were filled with pure lust at this point tuning everything out except for the yips of her pleasure or the yowls of dominance from the normally passive feline. Even when the sudden burst of activity of sound from the com-lines or both of their names being mentioned didn't faze the two in their coupling. Nor did the light tapping of small pieces of metal hitting the floor register to the two as they continued to mate.

As if reading each other's minds, Nasyn pulled out of her warm, wet sex, letting a ample amounts of their fluids spill over their legs and creating a small puddle on the floor as she rolled over onto her hands and knees. He was quick to capitalize on the new position and drove his rod back into her, making her howl in pleasure as she felt that hard shaft pierce her over sensitive spade.

She heard a low growl and felt the feline's teeth bite her shoulder as he continued to rut her. Her body reacted instinctively and lowered into a more submissive roll as his thrust got faster and harder. What little rational part of her mind that was left never thought that the feline's barbs would send such pleasures through her. Perhaps afterwards she should try and keep in contact with him?

'No!' Her more feral side thought. 'Fuck first, breed first. Think later.'

His thrusts started to get more frantic, more desperate. 'Close now' the both thought. He let go of her shoulder, drops of blood hitting the floor from his fangs biting through her skin as he leaned up to get a better angel to push as deep as he could into her. Her pussy started to clamp around his shaft as his barbs flared out against her walls, locking them together in their own way. He let out a howl as she hit her peak, flexing her tunnel around him. He joined her by letting out a yowl of his own that echoed in the room as he pushed his shaft to the hilt in her. Hot ropes of his seed flooded her passage, leaving her to become a panting slobbering mess in her afterglow.

Nasyn couldn't help but to pant himself. It felt like they were at it for a while, but the release was starting to help clear some of his mind. He nearly slumped over in exhaustion before he felt something hit his shoulders. Confused, he looked over at his shoulder and saw some sort of liquid dripping on his fur, making him look up. His sight was enveloped by darkness before he could even let out a scream...

Celia gave a content sigh, feeling from some of the fire that was in her loins cool some. "Mmm..." She murred. "Please tell me that wasn't a one hit wonder." She yipped as she felt his cock start to move inside of her again. While it still felt quite pleasurable, there was something off about the way he thrust into her. His hands made her give a startled yelp as he grabbed her tail and yanked hard. The next thing she knew, he pulled out of her and kicked her, sending her forward hard on the floor. "Nasyn what the Hell!" She growled as she turned around. Anymore words died on her lips as her eyes went as wide as saucers. Nasyn's upper torso was completely enveloped by the thing before her.

Her first thoughts was that the creature was an Apophis of some kind, the snake-like Naga race, but aside from the basic body shape, the similarities of what she was looking at ended there. The creature's body could be every bit as massive as Kleo's muscular body; but where colored scales for skin should be, was some sort of translucent blue membrane that acted as some kind of gooey skin. The creature had a viable pointed skull of a snake that she could clearly see under that membrane, as well as two jaw pieces that were on either side of Nasyn as he was swallowed whole.

Despite the bone structure, the creature didn't seem to open its mouth like a snake would to consume its prey but instead the "mouth" opened similar to a sphincter and expanded from his chest to below his navel. Nasyn was slowly turning into a dark blotch as the creature continued to pull the hapless Caushae further into its body. The limbs that still remain outside of the round maw of the creature flailed wildly as he tried desperately to escape the hold that he found himself in to no avail. Moans of pain and in-audio cries for help escaped from the body as Nasyn thrashed against his inevitable end. In the span of seconds, Nasyn was enveloped to his thighs; his legs and tail being slurped inside like wet noodles. With a miry slurp, the feline was gone...

Celia could see the darken shape of Nasyn struggle as he was pulled deeper into the bowls of the creature, slowly being pulled to his fate. She was paralyzed and could only sit there helpless watching the feline get consumed by the creature. Whatever the creature was, the strange faint scent that was in the air earlier seemed to be emanating from the creature. She could feel her loins burn in greater need now, but there was a greater emotion that was emerging in her brain and taking over...

Fear...
