Jack yawned and stretched as he woke up scratching his belly and slowly sat up rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He smiled as he stood up and walked over to the window that viewed the street below. It looked like paradise down there, trees with lush green leaves moved through the artificial air. People walking about doing their business with air speeders zipping above them. Some of them landing to drop off their passengers. He eyed a few cute guys down there and smiled wider. There was always time to eye the things he liked. He moved over to the tv stand that doubled as a dresser and picked up his flight suit. He sniffed it and grimace realizing he had forgotten to wash the damn thing. He moaned in displeasure as he walked across the room to a small closet that was next to the door and opened it up. He grabbed one of the Shower robes and wrapped it snuggly around him then went and opened the door. He stepped out barefooted on the warm rug in the hallway and padded his way down the hall to the guest laundry room that was on his floor and placed the suit in one of the machines and allowed it to do its job. Once it had finished washing the suit, he went back to his room and put it on. He was tempted to just pull it up to his waist and let the rest hang around it and go outside but, decided against it. Always look professional, he thought. In the event of a prospective business deal. He allowed himself to beat himself up over not grabbing a spare change of clothing from the Avius. He knew that, for today, he wasn't looking for the typical business. He made his way down to the dock and said hello to the Mechanics and technicians that were working on his ship before he boarded her and went into his room. The room was small, maybe twenty feet by twenty feet with drawer space beneath the bed and a locker next to the bed that contained a few mementoes. He opened the locker and looked at the photo of him and his parents and younger sister all sitting together on a small picnic sheet out in a lush field with trees with brilliant red leaves dotting the background. He touched the photo and smiled then reached into the top part of the locker and pulled out a small duffle bag.

He closed the locker and then opened up the drawer beneath his bed and loaded a few clothes into it as well a pair of blue and black tennis shoes and zipped the bag shut and lifted it. He left his ship and returned to his room where he unloaded the clothing, hanging up his shirts and putting away his pants in the dresser except for a pair of ripped blue jeans, a tight, short sleeved black shirt, and a pair of underwear that he laid on the bed. He then pulled off the suit and hung that up and put the clothes he had just laid on the bed on. He pulled the tennis shoes on and left the room to explore the station. He walked down the streets of the station enjoying the sites and sounds around him. He walked for maybe an hour before he found a nice club named Tally Wacker's that was starting to open. He smiled to himself as he walked towards the doors of the place and showed his ID to the bouncer in front of it. Once inside he was hit with flashing lights, a few patrons either dancing on the dance floor to the thumping music or at the bar counters that were in either corner of the club. He swished his tail in enjoyment letting the sound of the music wash over him. He made his way over to one of the bar counters and sat down. Behind the counter were a mixture of Human and Pelzigan drinks as well as a small slender ferret with his Human coworker who was busy organizing a few of the drinks. The Ferret wore a nice plain white t-shirt as well as some slack blue jeans. The Human, through the flashes of light, was female with blonde hair a nice dark skin tone and wore a nice black t-shirt featuring some kind of band on the back with a nice pair of black jeans to match. The Ferret walked up to the counter and smiled at him, "what are you having today?" He asked. His voice had a touch of a feminine tone to it and Jack smiled staring at his dark green eyes.

"How about a shot of Talgain Whiskey?" He asked. The Ferret nodded to him and made their way to the shelf, pulled out a bottle of greenish blue liquid off the shelf and a rather large shot glass and poured out the contents into the glass. He walked back over and handed it over to Jack. Jack gave him a polite nod and thanked him then sipped on the Whiskey. He turned to watch the dance floor and saw a mixture of Humans and Pelzigans dancing on the dance floor. They all seemed lively to him. The music's heavy thumps slowly faded and another song started to play. He perked his ears up listening to it as the slow bass began to build up then bursted into a mixture of drums, guitars, and synthetic violins. He tapped his foot against the ground and closed his eyes for a bit just enjoying it. This, oh god this, is what he needed right now.

. . .

Doctor Levin watched as the sun at the center of the system was blocked by the planet they were orbiting. Thousands, if not millions of lights shown through the atmosphere of the planet with twinkling lights showing planetary aircraft and spacecraft moving to and from the planet and locations on it. He swirled a bit of Brandy in the glass he was holding and hummed to himself. So far, the test subjects they had used, had shown promise. A vast majority of the Pelzigan children were now hosts to the organism and were behaving the way he expected them to. Violent, Cannibalistic in nature, and pure rage. One time one of the subjects somehow got loose and attacked a female human lab scientist. Oh what was her name? He thought. Linda? Liddy? Laura? Oh whatever her name was, showed signs of infection but then somehow rebounded. She reported that, after a few hours of agonizing hell she started to feel better and when they performed tests on her, they saw that the parasitic organism had, infact, started to decay within her body. Something about their genes and physiology didn't seem to mix well with the organism. Eventually she vomited what remained of the thing and there were no longer any signs of it or its effects within her. Doctor Levin sighed as he sat down at his desk. His office was moderately sized, sixty square feet of room in there with a nice oakwood desk facing away from the window with shelves on either side displaying multiple awards he had received from the Human Council for his achievements as well as models of starships and other trinkets he collected throughout the years. In front of the desk was a pair of finely crafted wooden chairs with padding put into place on the seat and backrest. A bit further from that were two black leather couches with a glass table between them. He sighed as he twirled around in his chair thinking of the infinite possibilities that this organism could give them and tomorrow, he would start the Human testing. Rear Admiral Whitcomb would want an update by the end of tomorrow as well. He had positioned his fleet around the planet and a few ships at the entrance to the station as a precaution in the event that the parasite broke out on the station he could enact a quarantine. Fat chance of that, thought Doctor Levin.

It had only been two hours when the com in his desk chimed. Doctor Levin reached forward and flicked the comm online. "Doctor Levin." He said into it.

"Sir, there has been a change with Doctor Liddy Hertz. She has started to report migraines." Said a rather frantic male voice over the comm.

"Migraines? That's why you called me? They can be caused by many things! Dehydration, stress, maybe she has a cold or something." He said disbelieving.

"That's just it, she has stated she is hearing voices." The man said.

Doctor Levin sat up straight and took a deep breath. "You have put her into quarantine, yes?" He rebuked.

"Affirmative, sir. She is in quarantine, and there's more." The man said. "The Pelzigans that were infected with the parasite seem to be rather attentive of her. There is no aggression towards her cell sir, rather interest. Almost like they are waiting for her to do something."

Doctor Levin looked down at the comm and frowned. Why would they do that? Anyone who wasn't infected with a parasite inside them approached, the infected become aggressive towards them immediately, and attempted to kill. Something was surely not correct here. "I'm on my way down now. Keep monitoring the situation, and take full detailed notes, am I clear?" He ordered into the comm.

"Yes sir." Came the response. Doctor Levin switched the comm off and stood up straightening himself out before walking briskly out the door.

Within a matter of minutes, he was in the lift going down to the bottom of the station where the labs were. Ten minutes later the doors slid open to reveal a panicked young Human male with red hair and deep blue eyes and pale white skin looking at him. Doctor Levin stepped out of the lift. "Report." He ordered.

"No changes in her behavior, she is still in the corner of her cell wrapped up like a ball with her hands to her ears." The man reported. "However, the infected seem to now be moving about as usual inside theirs and paying no mind to her."

Alright, he thought, better go and try and have a chat with Liddy. He walked past the man down a narrow corridor to a large bulkhead door and punched in a code to open it. It opened quickly revealing a large octagon shaped room with several holding cells with reinforced glass over them across from the bulkhead and along the sides of the room were computers and computer monitors along with lab equipment. A few other Humans were busy typing in reports as they looked over at him. "Let me talk to Liddy." He said as he made his way straight across the room over to her cell. She sat in the corner, curled into a ball shaking back and forth with her hands over her ears. "Liddy, it's me, Doctor Levin." He said calmly.

She slowed down a bit then looked at him. Her once beautiful tan white skin with those beautiful brown eyes and blonde hair where now pale, sagging, her hair now a dark yellow, almost sickly. Her eyes were bloodshot with her pupils fully dilated. She slowly sprawled out on the floor and seemed to drag herself towards him. "Doctor.....Levin?" She said through ragged breaths, her voice hoarse.

Doctor Levin nodded. "Yes, Liddy, it's me. How are you feeling?" He asked.

She shuddered and moaned loudly, then suddenly slammed her head against the ground and screamed. "It hurts!" She shouted in agony. "These voices, they won't stop!"

"What voices?" He asked.

"The voices of the children! They want out! They want freedom!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as she flopped onto her back and started crying. "God get them out!"

Doctor Levin blinked quickly and placed his hand against the glass. "Liddy, there are no voices." He said maintaining his calm despite the fear that was building up within him. She howled in what seemed to be both agony and anger then got up and ran straight into the glass with a thud. She continued to howl and scream as she slammed her fists against the glass. It lasted a few minutes until she sat against the glass panting and shuddering. "Liddy?" He asked.

The palm of her hand slammed against the glass, bits of blood smearing where her palm landed. "We want out." She said, slowly, with anger rising in her voice. "We want food, we want out, we want to feast on your flesh!" She screamed in anger at him slamming her palm several times against the glass. Eventually she started hitting it with fists with as much force as she could muster then stood and started kicking the glass and head butting it howling.

Doctor Levin stood up and stepped away from the glass. "What in the hell?" He said. "Run a scan on her now!" He screamed.

"Already done." Said the man that had greeted him. "We are finding several anomalies within her body sir."

"What kind of anomalies?" Doctor Levin demanded.

"There seem to be what remains of embryos inside of her large intestine. We have a large black mass building up around her heart that seems to slowly be going to her head." The man explained.

"You mean a parasite?" Doctor Levin asked.

"Yes sir," responded the man. "But it's not like the others within the other test subjects."

"How so?" He asked.

The man took a deep breath and said "they seem like some sort of black mass, there is signs that it is a living parasite but it seems to be growing. There are at least three of them within Liddy. Starting around her heart then multiplying upwards to her brain. As for what she just said, we are detecting low level waves coming from her. Could it be that she is communicating with the others?"

Doctor Levin looked away from Liddy at the man then back to her and sighed. "It might be, there is still much we don't understand which is why our subject pool is so small. What happened to Liddy was not expected, and there maybe more things at work here than we currently understand. But hopefully soon, we will."

............................

Jack had been at the club, called Tallywackers, for about an hour enjoying a few drinks when he spotted a cute Canine that had walked in by himself wearing a nice fitting pair of blue jeans that showed off his butt and that noticeable bulge as well as a loose fitting white tee. He smiled to himself and stood up. Tonight was, hopefully, going to be a fun night. He made his way across the club that was slowly getting packed towards the Canine, when he reached him the Canine was sitting at one of the bars getting himself some kind of dark red liquid and was taking his sip when Jack sat next to him and gave him his best smile.

"How are you?" Jack asked.

The Canine, his fur a dark gold color, his eyes silver, put his cup down and looked over at Jack and smiled a bit shyly. "I'm doing good, how about you?" he asked. His voice was a bit deep but also pleasantly light.

"I'm doing good, just enjoying the music and hopefully some company." Jack said watching as the Canine sipped some more.

"Oh?" The Canine said. "Well, the music is good, as for the company, that remains to be seen." Jack chuckled and offered to buy him another drink which the Canine agreed to, after finishing his own.

"So, what's your name?" Asked Jack.

"Kyle, yours?" The Canine, Kyle, said.

"Jack." He responded. "What kind of work do you do?" He asked.

"I help unload all cargo for the station, down in the docks. Not exciting work, but it's work." Kyle said. "You?"

Jack grinned a bit. "Shipping and Transportation. I own a small ship named the Avius. Old girl but she gets the job done and is very reliable." He said. "Got me out of a few scuffles with pirates."

To that, Kyle's ears perked up. "You own your own ship?" He asked.

Jack nodded. "It's a G Class Freighter, the smallest one with a few rooms that I can use to transport people from one spot to another, basic FTL Jump system, no Warp Engines so i can only really do deliveries out to areas already charted." He said.

Kyle grinned, "You are lucky! I've always wanted to go traveling out in the stars." He said.

"Were you born on this station?" Jack asked.

Kyle nodded. "And raised here, sometimes make trips out to the planet but for the most part stay here. Gets kind of dull up here. Just, I would love to go out and see a nebula, experience new things, see the cosmos in all its glory." His eyes seemed to sparkle.

Jack sighed and smiled. This guy, maybe he could oblige him and give him a ride over to Leben, let him see some new things there. But, that was after his ship was fixed and upgraded. "The Avius isn't big, she's old, maybe forty five years old, but she's a ship. Maybe once my repairs and upgrades are done...." He trailed off looking at the Canine.

"You'd be willing to take me with you for a bit?" Kyle asked sheepishly.

Jack nodded. "If you wanted, could use some help on the next few transports making sure cargo is good. Also would love to have some company, if you wouldn't mind." He said.

Kyle wiggled in his seat in joy and grinned, "Well, I'd have to put in a request to work for the leave, but, I'd like to." He said putting one of his paws on Jacks. "As for company tonight....you have a place nearby?"

Jack smiled and nodded. "Hotel nearby, decent one, maybe after a few more drinks?" He asked. Kyle nodded and drank more of his drink. Jack wagged his tail and finished off his then ordered two more drinks for them. They spent the next hour sitting there, talking about all the things that they had seen in their line of work. Kyle explained a few accidents that occured at his job with a few of the personnel not exactly following safety procedures, Jack with stories of how he bypassed a pirates trap and escaped multiple small snub fighters. Eventually Jack paid the tab and grabbed Kyle's paw and showed him to the hotel room. Once inside he closed the door and then wrapped his arms around Kyle and kissed him. The taste of the different alcoholic drinks mixing between their tongues as they kissed. He rubbed the Canine's back, then down to his sides and then over the growing bulge in his pants. Kyle moaned softly into Jacks maw as they made their way over to the bed where Kyle laid on his back with Jack on top of him rubbing against him getting aroused himself. He tugged off Kyle's shirt and threw it onto the ground then rubbed his paws up and down his chest, feeling the muscle beneath the fur and murred quietly as he nipped the Canine's ears and got a loud moan in response. Kyle then took off Jack's shirt and then played with his chest fur then his nipples making Jack squirm and pant. Eventually they got out of their pants and underwear and were naked feeling each other up and down. Their cocks rubbing with pre leaking. Kyle moved one of his paws in the middle of a kiss onto Jacks' rear and squeezed gently then moved a finger over his hole then probed. Jack panted and moaned deeply feeling the finger slowly slide in. Kyle grinned as he pushed in a bit deeper getting Jack to shiver and reflexively tighten.

"Got some lube?" Kyle asked. Jack nodded as he felt Kyle's finger come out sending chills up his spine. He got up and padded over to his bag where he pulled out a small bottle of lube and made his way back over to Kyle. He wrapped a paw around Kyle's thick shaft and started to stroke getting Kyle and squirm and pant. He then took it into his maw and started to suck on the tip then slowly started to take the rest. Kyle bucked a bit and moaned loudly as almost the whole seven inches went in. Jack gagged a bit but forced himself to take all of it. The knot was beneath the sheath still but was trying to get out. He grinned as he continued to suck Kyle off. After a few minutes of hearing Kyle whimper and moan he stopped then straddled himself on top of Kyle, his cock pressing against his hole as he lubed both himself and Kyle up. He breathed deeply as he positioned Kyle's cock to go in. Slowly but surely, it did with moans of pleasure escaping both of them. Eventually the whole length was in Jack, his own cock rubbing against the stomach fur of Kyle. Jack could feel the knot swelling underneath the sheath and could feel a small amount of it coming out. He whimpered and moaned as Jack began to slowly thrust in and out of him. The feeling of his warm cock pulsing in and out of him made Jack just want it more. Eventually they moved from that position over to Jack being on all fours and being pounded doggy style. In and out Kyle's cock pounded away. Eventually the knot came out and started to slap against Jacks' hole.

Jack panted and moaned then whimpered, "Knot me....please." and Kyle obliged as he pushed his knot against Jacks hole and slowly it started to go in. the pressure was immense, Jack dug his claws into the pillow and buried his face in it grunting and moaning until there was a audible pop as it went all the way in. He gasped and howled as Kyle humped a bit more then he felt the tip of his cock pulse then the warmth of his cum spreading inside of him. Kyle reached down and pawed himself until he came, when he did he felt himself tighten around Kyle's entire cock, knot and all, as he squirted all over the bed. They both panted as Kyle wrapped his arms around Jack and then positioned them so he could spoon Jack with his knot still inside. They both fell asleep in that position, Kyle rubbing up and down Jacks body with his paws gently and kissing him between the ears just before sleep took over.
