Chapter 1 – “Maristo Onboard”
You are the captain of a small space freighter, the Libereco.
You and your crew are all independents.
Most space cargo is carried by members of the Shipper's Guild, SG, an intergalactic organization that sets the rates and works openly with the United Galactic Alliance or UGA. Your crew and you hate working with the Uggos, as you refer to UGA.
In the Galactic core worlds, the government has tight control over everything. No unlicensed cargoes. Everything has a shipping fee, a UGA tax, and whatever other planetary fees and taxes that must be paid.
For the core worlds, there are plenty of valutos and so fees are easily paid and done.
On the rim worlds, where things are less tightly controlled, the fees are higher to help pay for enforcement. Enforcement which is done by the UGA Maristos which are a combination of Peace Officer, Customs Agent, and Tax Collector.
Your crew is loyal to you, but all had troubles on their home worlds.
Once you have a record, it is hard to join a SG Freighter, unless you find a captain and ship that will take a chance on you. You offered each one of them "no history questions asked" once they proved their skills and signed on with you.
Your crew is small: a pilot, navigator, cook, medic, mechanic, and you. Everyone on your ship is cross trained to do everything. They might be the first choice to do their normal job, but everyone can help out if needed.
You hate having to deal with all the bureaucracy, and fees, and feel that the people hacking out a living on the rim worlds really need a break, so your ship takes small cargoes between worlds.
You only have a couple of rules:
1. Nothing hazardous (you don't want your ship to explode mid-transit), and 2. No human cargo, unless they are paying passage for themselves. All the rest can be negotiated. Typically, you are delivering cargoes of food, medicines, or other supplies that, if hauled by SG, the fees would triple the cost of the goods. You don't earn much in the way of UGA valutos but your ship is paid for, and you feel like you are doing a good thing.
Your current run is a relatively profitable one. You negotiated delivering building materials and medicines to a colony that was recently formed and doesn't have much in the way of UGA presence. The profit on this one is just 10% above the value, and free refueling from the planet. Prices like that are below SG rates, so your clients know you aren't paying the official fees and taxes.
With any luck, you won't encounter any Maristos. Or if you are really lucky, it will be one of the ones that you already know. Space can get lonely, and you know how to make things less lonely for someone who is friendly.
Once you leave orbit, you walk around your ship. Helm and Navs has the Con, and they tell you "Skipper, we can make this run in two tagoj, if we don't have any issues."
"Good, because I told the client that we could do it in four." You respond. "And keep your eyes on your screens and not each other." Helm and Navs are a good team, but when things are slow, more than once you have caught them fucking each other with the ship set on automatic.
You check on the cargo in the hold. Everything looks to be strapped in securely. You see Cookie walking around too. "Hey, Cookie, I see the construction cargo, but did we secure the meds properly?"
Cookie oversaw cargo loading earlier. "Yes, Skipper. Meds are secure. You would have to have a Sniffer & Scanner team to find them. If the Uggos board and look, all they'll find is building materials." She says as she hands you an official looking manifest, listing only the building materials.
You hand it back to her. "Good. Do you have a meds list for when we need it, too?" She nods "Separate chip, stored in the bins. Nothing that can be found on our systems, until I install it." You give her a broad smile and a pat on the shoulder. "Great. I will let you finish up here. Do you have the menu for today?" She smiles broadly, "I got us some fresh fruit, and also some veggies that I will later make into a stew. Unless you want something else?"
"No, I trust you in the galley more than I trust you in cargo, and you do a stellar job here. Carry on." You say as you head out.
You stop by the galley, and Kurgio and Meko are there, drinking. Kurgio has his herbal tea and Meko is drinking coffee so strong you can smell it as you enter. "Captain on Deck!" Meko shouts and jumps to attention. The doctor spills his tea all over his shirt. "Dammit Meko!" He yells. You shake your head. You know Meko did it as a joke on Kurgio. They do those kinds of things from time to time.
"Are you okay Doc?" you ask as you throw him a towel.
"Meko, you never were an Uggo, so don't pretend you were, and you are now on laundry detail. Either that or you owe Kurgio a new shirt. Is that fair Doc?"
Stripping off his wet shirt, he throws it to Meko. "Yes, laundry detail sounds more than fair Skipper." He goes and makes himself another cup of tea. If he wasn't a member of your crew, you wouldn't mind helping dry off his nice-looking chest. Meko is apparently checking out Kurgio's bare chest too. You never asked as to the preferences of your crew. And there are no rules against members pairing up. Hell, if you told Helm and Navs that they couldn't sleep together, you would probably have a mutiny. Besides they make a cute couple, though you would never tell them that.
As for Meko, he might be into guys, gals, or he might swing both ways. It has never come up. You already know that Cookie prefers women, but during a stop at a Pleasuredome, you saw her with two guys at once too.
But you are the Captain of the ship, and sleeping with a member of the crew is bad for morale. You make yourself a cup of coffee. A little weaker than whatever Meko is drinking.
You sit at the table, as Kurgio sits back down too. "Is everything quiet Skipper?" he asks.
"That is what I was going to ask you two." You say as you sip your coffee.
"Aside from some light 1st-degree burns, thanks to a joking mechanic, the crew is happy and healthy." You notice the bright pink mark on Kurgio's flat stomach.
Looking over at Meko, "And what is the status of the ship?" He jumps to attention and shouts "Sir, the engines are fully operational. There is some minor pitting on the outer plates which we will need to either buff out or repair next maintenance stop. Atmos regulator is working nicely and the power distrosystem is all green. Artificial gravity generator is working and so is Water recycling. Plus we topped off our fresh water tank planet side." He then salutes and goes from Attention to Parade Rest.
"Thank you and sit your ass back down. I knew it was wrong to let you watch all of those old vids. So what were they this time?"
He sits down and smiles. "Skipper, you should watch some of them, I got a whole chip full of what they used to call "Movies". Some of these, date all the way back to the 20th Century. Apparently before the Uggos, each country on Earth had some sort of "armed forces". England and America made lots of movies about their "navy" and "army". I even found some that are comedies."
You sigh. It's good to see him enthusiastic about things but you wonder how long you will have to put up with faux military behavior. You stand up with your cup, "I'm heading off to my room. If you need anything, get me on the coms."
"Will do Skipper." "Aye, Aye, Captain" Meko shouts as he jumps to attention again.
You just slowly shake your head as you go to your cabin. You hope that this will be a "lakto run". You smile for a second as you think "Ok, there isn't any lakto in this cargo, but they don't have phrase about an easy time carrying building materials." Inside your cabin, you check the settings on your vidis. There are cameras all throughout the ship and you can check anywhere you need. You control who can access which cameras. Out of respect for your crew, you have all of the crew cabin cameras locked under "Command Access Only". You laugh at that for a second. You have a feeling that Navs, Cookie, and Meko have figured out how to go around the lockout, but you haven't caught them so you let it go. Navs and Cookie have computer skills that, if you didn't trust them, could probably get everyone in trouble. Meko knows every system on the ship and has done things to access backup systems that, by the book, should have taken "Command Access" but he hasn't done anything else to raise suspicions.
You set your main vidi to show the ship's progress, with smaller windows showing how well the ship is running. On a smaller vidi, you rotate between the cameras in Cargo, Con, and Med Bay. The cargo hold looks quiet. Kurgio put on a new shirt and is making a quick check of supplies. "Damn, I won't have minded seeing him shirtless for a bit longer." You say to yourself.
When you switch to Con, you only see Helm at the controls, and Nav's seat is empty. You hit the mic icon, "Helm, is everything okay? Where is Navs?"
He clicks his icon too, "Everything is fine, Skipper. Once we locked in everything, I told her that I got it and she should sleep for the next 8 hours, we can switch then. Should I have run that past you first?"
You smile back at him and say "No. You made the right call. I should have thought of that first. I am just glad that she isn't sucking you off, or something, because you two got bored."
"Oh we talked about that, Skipper, but you specifically said, that you would permanently separate us if we, to quote you, 'got caught fucking on the Con instead of manning it'. We know you mean it. Besides, we can fuck in either of our cabins, while you have the Con." He said with a wide smile and a wink.
You shake your head and smile back. "Very good, carry on. If we encounter anything, buzz my cabin. Captain out" you say as you turn off your mic.
You switch the secondary vidi, to the Captain's Log, and mark down the necessary travel info. This way if, or with your luck, when a Maristo links up with your ship to do a "random cargo inspection" which almost always happens, everything will go smoothly. You review Cookie's cargo manifest, and input the official weights and contents. Then you added the "Official Report" from each station, including an "accidental 1st degree skin burn occurred in the galley".
After you finish making the logs look good, you stand up and stretch.
It really quiet. You take a quick glance at the main vidi and nothing looks out of the ordinary so you switch your secondary vidi to link into the ship's library. You could pull up a book, or a video. You decide on a video. Scrolling though the lists you notice a lot of porn has recently been added. You don't mind. Heck, some of it was added by you. You see something called "Alien Encounters".
You hadn't seen it before, so it peaks your interest. There has always been rumors of alien lifeforms but UGA hasn't officially encountered any. The video starts with a woman wearing just enough to cover her tits, pussy, and ass. She is walking through an open field when a "flying saucer" comes over head, shines a spot light and "beams her up" leaving her clothing on the ground. "If Beaming technology was real, it would make unloading cargo much easier." You muse to yourself.
A man with a bad costume and makeup is in a room where the naked actress appears. "We have captured a human female. I must probe her fully." He says as he walks closer. "What does that mean?" she asks feigning fear.
"Maybe I should just turn off the sound if the dialogue is going to be that bad" you think to yourself. His hands morph to long tentacles and from his crotch a thicker and longer tentacle pops free. "Oh, it's a tentacle porn vid." You note.
As you watch it, the woman appears to be enjoying it. You wonder how they would feel. Maybe next trip to the Pleasuredome you could try that. Her mouth, pussy, and ass are filled with the thrusting and probing things. Close up shots show her clit being rubbed as she moans around the one in her mouth. That looks so sexy.
You feel a little turned on and sit back in your chair. You put your hand in your pants and slowly rub your pussy. "Mmmmmm it feels so good", rubbing your clit as you watch that thick dark tentacle thrusting in and out of her wet open pussy. Tentacle porn really isn't your thing, but you enjoy seeing her filled and pleasured.
Working a couple of fingers in and out of your damp pussy, you lean back and wish that your pussy was being filled with a hard cock, or maybe some talented fingers. Rubbing your pussy harder and faster, you lean farther back in your chair. It feels so good and you are getting close….
"Skipper. Check out the Main Vidi." You hear Helm say followed by a proximity alarm flashing. "Dammit, now what!?" you say as you pull your hand from your pants and sit up.
Quickly you switch your second vidi from the video to Con. Clicking on mic icon, "I am looking, but catch me up." You say as you make sure that your pants are straight and closed.
On the main vidi you see a UGA patrol ship, just as Helm says "We have an Uggo hailing us. He says he's Oficiro Lee. Skipper haven't we encountered him before?"
You sigh. "Yea, I know him. Send his link." you say as you pull your hair back into a ponytail. "Oficiro Lee, How can I help you?" you open the link with a friendly tone.
His face fills the main vidi. "Captain, this is just a routine safety inspection. I am checking all cargo ships in our area. Do you have any problem attaching and doing a walk though?".
"No, sir. Use your grapples and extend your docking tube. That will put you right in the cargo hold." You say with a smile. Now you feel better. You know Lee. The two of you dated many jaros ago. If he wasn't UGA you would love to be in a formal relationship with him, but you both agreed to just be "fuck buddies". He is an honest man, but not "too" honest. As long as you give him the right incentives, we can continue on. And he didn't have you stop, so you can continue on course as his ship is connected.
You call up to Con. "Helm, he is going to come aboard. Keep things straight and steady. Let him grab us and enter."
"Will do Skipper"
As you said it, you pictured the grapples as hands and the docking tube as a penis from a much smaller man entering "you" at an angle. "I really am horny." You think for a second. "Attention, crew, we have an Uggo patrol ship connecting to us for a "routine inspection". You know the drill. I take the lead. Cookie, report to cargo hold. Everyone else continue doing what you were doing." After clicking off the mic, you look in the mirror. You don't look too bad today. Still wearing your utility clothes, but that is what expected for a cargo crew and her Captain.
Once you get to the cargo bay, you see both Cookie and Meko there. You are about to ask Meko whether or not he would rather be in the engine room, when the vacuum pump of the airlock kicks on and the red warning lights go to green.
The door opens. In walks Oficiro Lee. Looking as tasty as always in his pressed UGA uniform. You normally don't like uniforms, but he wears his well and fills it out in all the right places.
As you walk towards him, Meko holds a small whistle, blows a 3-note tune, then yells, "Visiting Officer on Deck." And snaps to attention.
You sigh out of frustration and shake you head. "Thank you, Meko. Return to your station." You say as you put a smile back on your face and greet Oficiro Lee.
He extends his hand. "Thank you for that welcome Captain. That was more than I expected."
"We are always happy to see representatives of the UGA. My crew just wanted you to fell welcomed." You the turn towards Cookie. "Here is my Cargo Master. Cookie do you have the manifest for everything here?"
She steps forward and hands him a tablet with official looking UGA stamped documents. He quickly scrolls through it, then starts looking around. He starts mumbling to himself. "Plasteel connectors, biphased structural beams, glass blocks,…"
He looks at the labels on the boxes, and containers. He randomly picks a few boxes and has you and Cookie open them. He checks and nods. He hands the manifest back to Cookie. "Captain, is there somewhere we can talk?" he says. You nod and say "Right this way," as you lead him to your cabin.
With the door closed he says, "Damn I have missed you so much. When I saw it was your ship I just had to come aboard."
"Can I hug you, or are you still acting in an official capacity?" you ask jokingly. He throws his arms wide and hugs you tightly.
"Does your Crew know?" he asks.
"There are a couple who remember that you have searched us previously. You know that I am not running anything illegal, just not paying the SG their cut. Would you like something to drink, or do you just want to fuck?"
He quickly strips off his uniform. "What was the deal with your mechanic? Why the old-style whistle?"
"He is acting weird since he watched a bunch of vids from 20th and 21st century Earth. Something about 'Navy Tradition' or something." You answer as you quickly pull off your utilities.
His smooth muscular chest looks so warm and inviting, but he softly pushes you back so you land on your bunk, and he spreads your legs.
"This is what I have been missing." He says as he grips your thighs and kisses your smooth skin and moving closer to your pussy. "I can tell you still use a water shower instead of a sonic one. A sonic shower would have removed all of that soft curly hair." You feel his tongue licking your pussy lips and his nose rubbing your pubic bush. "And you are happy for me to be here." He says as he licks your damp lips. He thrusts his tongue between them.
You sigh and spread your legs wider. You always enjoyed his oral skills. "How much time do you really have?" you ask.
"Not as much as I would like." He answers and then licks and sucks your clit.
"Dammit, then just fuck me." You say. The last thing you want is to be interrupted by either your crew or his superiors. He stands up and leans over you. The tip of is smooth hard cock rubs against your waiting pussy lips as he kisses your mouth. His smooth chest rubs against your hard nipples as he thrusts into you. Your back slides back and forth along the blanket on your cot as he starts slowly and then moves deeper and faster. His skin is so warm and smooth against yours. The sonic shower removes all of his body hair except for his face and head. His cock feels so good as it goes in and out, back and forth, deeper and harder. You wrap your legs around his ass and pull him deeper into you. "Mmmm you really want me today."
Your mind flashes to the actress cumming as she was filled everywhere at once with the tentacles Grabbing his head, you press his mouth against yours and feel as his tongue goes into your open mouth. He increases his rhythm, and you know he will finish soon.
You moan in pleasure and suck his tongue. You release it and unwrap your legs from around him. "I want you to cum in my mouth." You say.
He is sweating lightly and breathing harder. "Are you sure? I'm so close, now." as he holds his cock still inside your pussy. Just having him fill you feels great, but you want to taste his cum, a flavor you haven't had in too long.
You push him up and back, so he is standing, his cock glistening with your juices in the light of your cabin. You get on your knees and take him fully in your mouth. It feels good. He places one hand on your shoulder and the other on your head. You grab his smooth balls, lick the tip, and then lick your juices off of the shaft.
He moans in pleasure, as he tries to control his breathing. You feel and taste his precum. Sucking the tip as you stroke the shaft, he grabs your hair and pulls firmly. You rub your clit, your fingers also pulling your pubic hair. The mixture of pleasure and pain helps bring the wave of pleasure through you. You feel his cock pulse in your mouth as he cums. You suck it down and the lick his shaft clean. Then you stand up and kiss him passionately. You both taste each other.
"That was great! I missed that. By the way, can I grab a quick shower." He asks as he points a thumb over to your small private shower.
"Yes, the water recycling system is fully operational. We can both grab a quick one. Just so my crew doesn't smell sex on us."
After a very quick shower with strong smelling soap, you dry off using the hand evaporator and followed by a soft towel. Once you are dressed, he says "Can you have Cookie, see us in the cargo bay on the way out. Your SG seals on your documents are expired. If she has the correct ones then I don't need to write you up. I need to quickly use the privata. Should I use yours?"
"There is one on the way to the cargo bay, use that one. Give me a minute and I will catch up." You know that he was giving you a chance to make things right. Besides he pissed before he showered, so you doubt he really need to use it again. Quickly talking with Cookie on the vidi, she tells you that she will check things closely and then see you in the cargo hold.
In the hallway, Oficiro Lee looks just as sexy in his uniform as he did out of it. "Is everything good?" He asks. You nod as you walk with him to the cargo bay. You look official again. You are the captain of this ship. Lee is a great fuck, but this is your ship and crew and nothing changes that.
Down in the cargo bay, Cookie hands the tablet with the manifest to the Maristo who looks it over again. "Yes, I was mistaken. I thought that your seals were out of date, but they are correct. Captain, if you are stopped by anyone else, you shouldn't have any problems. Everything looks good and official." With that he hands the tablet back to her, snaps to attention and does an official bow. "Permission to leave your ship Captain, now that my work is done."
You crack a small smile at the overly done bit of official protocol. "Yes Oficiro Lee, you have my permission to return to your ship. Thank you for your time and attention. It is because of Maristos like you that the space lanes are safe to travel." You say in an official tone.
After he leaves and his ship detaches, Cookie looks at you. "So Skipper, the sex was that good. No fines and he let us correct our mistakes?"
You slyly smile at her. "Wouldn't you really like to know? Go back to the galley and make dinner. Today was a busy tag and we still have two more until we this run is over."
You head back to your cabin, feeling fully relaxed.
