Chapter 2 – Trip to the Pleasuredome

You and your crew have been busy flying supply runs between rim worlds.

It has been profitable, and you have been lucky. 

Some of the new colonies have no UGA (United Galactic Alliance) presence at all so they have been self-governing. That can work to your benefit when folks are honest, and most colonists are too busy trying to set up and survive to try to cheat each other.

Oh, you get the occasional person whose greed for valutos and goods, outstrips their desire to be cooperative instead of competitive. But those are either banished from their colony or turned over to the Maristos. Maristos are the only "Uggo" presence this far out on the rim.

Your crew and ship have been a lifeline for some of the newer colonies, which has been profitable for you. Not everything you earned was valutos, and that which wasn't, you were able to trade to those who needed them. 

Some runs were easier than others. Building supplies are easy. Livestock is trickier. If you had a larger ship, you probably could have raked in the valutos, but as it is, you like your little cargo hauler and your crew. 

Cookie and Meko hate when you transport livestock, because you have to carry extra feed, water, and collect the waste. We lucked out the past few times, because the animal waste was sold off as fertilizer. Not a huge profit but more than enough to pay to clean up the cargo hold when we were done.

On this trip you are delivering compact construction equipment, and mini-tractors. The contract is for delivery only, so you charged the client transportation and labor costs, which they agreed to. 

It is still a pretty pricey run, and you wondered why the client agreed to the cost, but Navs reminded you. "Skipper, if it was an SG freighter hauling it, they would have charged that, plus Guild fee, and UGA taxes. They got off cheap."

She and Kurgio agree to oversee the delivery. They take the ship's land scooter and accompany the client's drivers as they form up into a line of vehicles. The slowest ones up front and the faster ones in the rear. Once the cargo hold is empty, you watch the small caravan of vehicles drive away as you lift up the ramp and close the hatch.

Cookie, comes up. "Skipper, it's been half a jaro, since we really took a break. We've done run after run without complaints or a major incident. Heck, even the Maristos haven't been a problem. Haven't we earned ourselves a little rest?"

"Ok, Cookie. What do you have in mind?" You ask as you look at your cargo officer/galley chief.

"Meko, Kurgio, Navs and I were all asking ourselves when was the last time we pulled into a Pleasuredome for more than just a fuel stop. Haven't we earned enough to rent ourselves some entertainment and the time to enjoy it?"

"Ok, let's have everyone meet in the galley and we can see what folks want to do. Shall we wait until meal time or call a special meeting?" You ask as look at a minividi watching the caravan's progress and also checking the calendar. "We don't have any scheduled runs, that we have agreed to, as of yet."

"And you won't Skipper, I looked over the calendar too before I brought this up. I think this can wait until next mango, if you want." She says as she checks the time.

"That sounds like a good idea, by the way, do you have a special meal planned or are we still eating konservita mangajo?"

Cookie shakes her head, "Nothing special. We haven't bought or traded for fresh food in a while. I will see what I can whip up for you."

"I trust you will. See you in a couple of hours, along with the rest of the crew." You say as you head to the Con.

On the way, you see Meko working on one of the ships systems. "Hey, Meko, is everything all right?"

"Yes Skipper, I'm just checking things while we're on the landing pad. There are a few things we should probably replace next time we pull in somewhere closer to the Core worlds."

"Is it anything serious, or hard to get?" you ask with genuine curiosity.

"No. Just things that if we switched out soon, we wouldn't have to worry about breaking down in the middle of a run. And for ease of getting, we could probably get them at one of the supply stations." He says as he wipes his dirty hands on a rag.

"Ok. Remind me of that during the next mango. We don't have a schedule run, and I might be looking for options."

"Aye, aye Skipper". He says in his relaxed tone. 

You are so glad that he got bored with using Navy traditions and slang. You knew it was only a temporary thing, but for a few monatoj he was calling everyone to Attention when you entered an area. It got old quick. You are glad stopped using and forgot them.

Continuing on to the Con, you find Helm checking the controls and watching the vidis. "Hi Helm, what're you doing?"

"Hi, Skipper, I am just doing pre-flight checks and monitoring our folks making the hand off. I want to be ready in case we have to blast off. Do we have another run on the horizon, or are you just walking around?" he asks, never taking his eyes off of the main vidi.

You sit down in the co-pilot's seat. "No, we don't have anything scheduled. Both Cookie and Meko, had mentioned where they would like to go next. I just want to see if you or Navs had any ideas. She and Kurgio should be back soon. Have they called in with any problems yet?" You ask as you look at the main vidi. 

"No, the link has been quiet. I'll keep watching until they return. They should be calling in soon."

"So, I see." You interject as you watch the progress of the caravan.

"Then they'll return, once the transfer of valutos is confirmed." He said.

"There are times when I wish we could use UGA banks instead of local transfers."

"But we all know if we did, then Uggos would track and tax us for not being SG. We chose to live outside of the law, Skipper. That means we got to be careful."

"I know, like I told you when you signed on 'to live outside the law, you must be honest'. Words I heard from my family back when I was growing up, on what was a rim world colony back then but, is now firmly part of the Core. But enough of that. I'll let you focus here, and go and prep the cargo bay for their return. They should be returning with just our scooter but you never know. Think about where you might want to go, and we'll all discuss it in the galley at next mango." You say as you get up, and head back down to the cargo hold. 

You smell the scent of baking bread and stop by the galley. "Cookie, are you really baking bread?"

She is stirring something in a large pot. "Yeah, I thought some fresh biscuits would go good with gulaso. It was either that or varma plato, but we had that yesterday so I thought gulaso was the better answer."

You sniff the delicious spicy flavors in the air, "That all sounds good and smells great." Your minividi vibrates in your cargo pocket of your utilities, and you check it.

"Delivery complete, and funds received. Returning to ship." A blinking icon and a map shows their progress. "They should be back soon. I'll go down and meet them. Have things ready and we'll all eat." You say as you turn and leave.

"Will do, Skipper." She calls after you.

Down in the cargo hold, you open the loading ramp and look outside. The meztago sun shines down. The planet this colony is on, circles a large white star so the colors are all brighter and more vibrant. The landing pad is a standard prefab structure, but you see the natural land just beyond it. The plants are different than what saw growing up, but it still looks beautiful. "If colony life wasn't so hard, this wouldn't be a place so drop anchor and plant roots." You wistfully say to yourself. Then after a minute you shake your head and look at your ship. "No, you are my home and my crew is my family."

In a couple more minutes you see the scooter come up the ramp and Navs and Kurgio climb off as you close up the door behind them.

"Any problems?" you ask. Navs smiles and pulls a chip from her pocket.

"Here you go, Skipper, all the funds are transferred onto it." She says as she hands it to you. 

"Yea, Skipper, if this was a video or a story, we would've been cheated and had to fight our way back or something like that, but this is real life and it was as simple as 'We delivered what the client asked for, and they paid what they owe.' Pretty ordinary and boring. So, what's our next run?" Kurgio asks as he takes his medic bag from the scooter. Even though he was sure he wasn't going to need it, he, like any good ship's doctor, brings his kit when he leaves the ship.

"You two, go and clean up. Mango will be in the galley shorty, so hopefully you are hungry. I'll transfer this to the vault, and make sure everyone gets their cut." You say as you pocket the chip. 

Navs pulls out her minividi "Hey, sexy. I'm back. Are you still up in the Con? Want to join me in a shower before mango?" she says as she walks away.

Kurgio shakes his head. "I don't get it Skipper. I know they love each other but I swear that Navs comes up with excuses to see Helm naked."

You chuckle at that. "We were that young once, and sex was always a good way relax after work. Just as long as they aren't doing it where we all can see. Bad enough that they echo when they're really passionate about it."

"I'll see you in the galley. I will wash up in the med bay. I think I will pass on going to the showers for a bit." He says as he carries his bag, walking towards medbay.

You head to your cabin. Unlocking a small box, you remove a storage drive and plug it into the ships system. Then you connect the chip, and transfer the valutos to the "vault".

Once it is in the vault, you split it evenly six ways, depositing into each one's wallet.

Each person's minividi pings them that a deposit was made. Then you eject the empty chip, disconnect the vault, and place it back into the lockbox. The security seems a bit overboard, but she has heard of cyberpirates getting into a system looking only for digital wallets and draining them dry before moving to the next system. The crew trusts you, and if anyone needed funds that are in the vault, they ask, you connect so they can transfer from their storage wallet to their minividi wallet and then you disconnect. You have been doing it that way since they signed on.

You check the time. Almost time for mango. One of the things you love about your ship and crew is mealtimes can be done as a group or as needed, during a run. But Cookie is a great chef, so its difficult to say "No, I'll make something myself", when she is cooking enough to have everyone satisfied. Plus, the table in the galley is perfect for mealtimes, whether it is matenmango, tagmango, vespermango, brunco, or mangeto. Folks can eat in their cabins, but in the galley it's so much easier to prepare, eat, and clean up afterwards. 

By the time you make it there, you see bowls set out, a serving bowl with a ladle and a plate piled high with fresh biscuits. Cookie is sitting at the table, waiting for everyone else to arrive.

"You know, Cookie, you could have started without everyone else." You say.

"Sure, but I sampled and tasted the whole time I was making it, so I probably won't eat much."

Meko and Kurgio each come in shortly after you, and then you see Navs and Helm, both freshly showered, and holding hands.

You smile at them. "What, no shower sex today?" you ask

"No, Skipper, I want food first. We can fuck later." Helm says bluntly. 

"Can I watch?" Meko asks playfully

"Sure," Navs responds seductively "you can watch us eat anytime you want."

Then she grabs a bowl and fills it while others chuckle at the joke. Helm kisses her cheek and fills a bowl too.

Once everyone is dished up and seated, you clear your throat. "Folks, we had a successful few monatoj and have a fair-sized pile of valutos in the vault. We don't have another scheduled run and we really haven't taken any breaks or time off for a while. My question to you, is should we take a break, and if so, where?" you ask as you dip your biscuit into the hot spicy gulaso.

"Pleasuredome" Cookie says loudly and quickly.

Meko looks at her, and says "It's been a while since we were last there. Do you have a regular there or just know what you want?"

"I know what I want and they definitely aren't you." She says tartly, "But you can find yourself something to enjoy there too, if you aren't too busy just watching."

"Maybe, if I watch the right one, it's more than enough?" he says in a husky tone.

You stand up. "Ok, children, if you can't be adult enough to respect each other, then you're too immature to enjoy the Pleasuredome."

Cookie give you an exaggerated pout. "Ok, Skipper. I'm sorry Meko"

"I'm sorry too Cookie." He says as he dips a biscuit into his bowl of gulaso and takes a bite. You aren't sure what Meko is sorry for, but at least they are listening instead of sniping at each other.

"I wouldn't mind a trip to the Pleasuredome." Kurgio says after a pause.

Navs and Helm both say, "We could use time there too." "Maybe rent a couple to join us for fun." Helm finishes. Navs leans in and nibbles his earlobe.

"Okay." You say "It sound like after we finish eating, you need to chart a course to the local Pleasuredome. Meko, you mentioned picking up a few replacement parts at the next station. Is the supply point there good enough?"

He leans back in his chair for a moment. "Yes, that will do nicely Skipper. When we land, do I go to the supply point first or can I rent me some pleasure?"

"Normally I would leave it up to you, but I think we will take enough time at this stop you can do both, so I want you to hit the supply point first. I will wait onboard until the parts are delivered."

Everyone does a quick cheer and high-fives each other around the table.

"Before we rent anyone, I'd like to do a quick physical of every one and make sure that you are up to date on all of your shots including contraceptives." Kurgio says.

"Good idea. After we clean up, everyone schedule a visit to Medbay, and that includes me. Once we lift off from planetside, I'll drop by." You say, showing the crew that you take the doctor's request seriously.

Your visit in the medbay is uneventful aside from updating your contraceptive shot and a preventative for the most common STIs. Another thing that you like about your crew is that they look out for each other.

Later, your ship begins orbit around a spinning space station. 

Nothing is visible from the outside denoting it as a Pleasuredome, but before you get into orbit, their control room sends you a link, and you ask for permission to dock. 

You attach to a docking bay.

A few minutes later, you connect the vault to the ship system and have everyone load funds into their minividis. Once you see "transfer complete", messages for all of the accounts, including yours, you disconnect it and lock it up again. You watch as Cookie and Kurgio depart, then Navs and Helm, still hand in hand.

Before Meko leaves you stop him. "Here, let me transfer enough to cover the parts. If you need more, call before you spend it. This is from the "Ship" account. Spend your valutos at the 'dome and not the supply depot." You tell him.

"Aye, aye, Skipper." He says and gives you an exaggerated salute.

You shake your head and close up the portal behind him, then head up to the Con to check the status of systems. You want someone onboard the ship while everyone is busy, and you are the logical choice. 

Your encounters with Oficiro Lee, from time to time help to "scratch your itches".

The crew is good enough to not say anything if he docks and spends most of his "inspection" in your cabin. 

You pull up a nav chart and plug in all the nearby ships. Maybe if you are lucky, Oficiro Lee might be one of the Maristos in the area. You click on each moving icon, and you luck out. In the next system over, you find him.

Clicking on his icon, you send him a quick message. "We are docked at the Pleasuredome for supplies and relaxation. If you have time, you can perform a "routine inspection" of my ship while we're here."

After a bit he responds "Let me complete my shift and then I will see you there. Did Cookie make anything good, or are going to feed me something else?"

You shake your head and smile at that one. "You will have to wait and see." You message back. 

You receive a link on the ship's system. "Skipper, I ordered everything I think we need. They will deliver it later today. They should call you when they bring everything to the docking bay. Is there anything else you want, or can I go and play too now?" Meko asks.

"Understood. I'll wait for them. Go and enjoy yourself. I'll have everything stored in the cargo hold for you to inventory when you return. Out." You say as you click off the button on the main vidi.

You finish checking everything on the ship that you wanted to, and head down to the galley. You see if there is any leftover gulaso in storage. There's some and a few wrapped up biscuits. Not as good as fresh, but still tasty. You will heat it up and set the table for you and Lee. You smile to yourself, as you think how much fun the two of you could have, alone in the galley. "Maybe." You tell yourself.

He sends you a message a little later, "I am pulling into the station. I will be at your ship shortly."

You go to your cabin and change into something more comfortable, putting on some sexy lingerie. You never get to wear it, but it feels so good as you slide the silky panties on, followed by a matching garter belt and stockings. The last thing is the matching bra. The silky material of the cups feels good against your nipples as you secure the clasp in the front. You cover it all with a brightly colored jumpsuit. Its fabric is as silky smooth as your lingerie. You look at a reflection of yourself on your main vidi. "Damn, I look good." You say to yourself, and head for the portal by the cargo hold. 

Your minividi pings as Oficiro Lee taps the icon on his. "Knock, Knock. I am here to perform a "routine inspection"." He says in a playful sing-song. He is out of uniform wearing mundane clothing. Something you haven't seen him wearing since you dated. You unlock the hatch and let him in. He looks at you and lets out a slow "wolf whistle".

"I thought you'd appreciate it." You respond, as you pull him closer and kiss him deeply. His mouth is warm against yours, as you close the hatch behind him.

"No crew?" he asks with a smile.

"No crew. We have the ship to ourselves. Everyone is using the Pleasuredome." He hugs you tightly and kisses you again. 

"We could get a room on the station. Maybe try something different than your cabin." He says in a light tone. 

"Oh, I thought of that, and there are parts of my ship you haven't fully inspected." You say in a seductive voice.

He opens your jumpsuit and sees the silky bra covering your breasts. "We haven't done it in the cargo hold." He says.

You playfully slap his hand but leave the jumpsuit open. "Let's go the galley first. There are some of Cookie's leftovers that I think you might enjoy."

He gives you an exaggerated pout. "But I thought I was a good boy and get my deserto first."

You shake your head and respond in a motherly tone, "No, a good boy eats his vespermango first, then gets his deserto."

In the galley, you have him sit down, and you hand him a warm bowl of gulaso. He smells the spicy aroma and looks at you smiling. "Are you sure you want me eating this first and then you?"

You take a biscuit with butter from the warmer and hold it against his lips. "I want to make sure I fill all of your appetites." You say as you pull the biscuit away and kiss him, tasting the warm butter off his lips. He unclasps your bra and the cups slide away, freeing your lovely breasts. He takes the biscuit from your hand and slowly rubs it on your right nipple. The warm buttery trail feels good, and then his wet tongue feels better as he licks and sucks your nipple clean.

He then takes a spoonful of warm gulaso and drips it across your breast. It is warmer than the butter and makes your skin tingle. He quickly licks it all up.

You open the rest of your jump suit. "I don't want to stain those panties."

He asks. "Do you want to pull them off before I continue?"

You kiss his mouth, tasting the spices on his lips and tongue. You slip the sleeves of the jumpsuit off and then your bra, when your minividi pings. 

"Captain, this is the supply depot. We have a delivery for your ship. Would you please open the cargo bay?"

You curse as you slide back into your cat suit, but without your bra. "This is the Captain. Give me a moment and l'll let you in." you say as you look at the their image on your screen. You see a person, in a utility uniform with a number of large boxes carried on a corporate intraship transport. You kiss Lee and say "I'll be back. Don't forget where you left off." He smiles and goes to the galley storage for some more leftover gulaso and heats up a couple more biscuits as you go to the cargo bay.

Clicking the door locks, the portal opens and you oversee the delivery person as they make a stack of boxes in the center of the cargo hold. The last thing they do is transfer the invoice to you. You lock up after they leave, and transfer a copy of the invoice to Meko. "I hope he is in the middle of a blow job or eating pussy when he gets this." You say to yourself in an a slightly irritated tone.

By the time you return to the galley, Lee is sitting on the table, naked holding a bowl of gulaso on his lap. "What would you have done, if my crew returned?" You ask.

"Given them a free show. Didn't you say you have at least one member who is into that?" he responds with a broad smile.

You take your time licking food off of each other. You started with butter and gulaso, and moved to cokolada sauce and vipkremo. By the time you finish, the galley is a mess and the two of you clean it, while still naked.

Afterwards you share a hot water shower. Something that Lee enjoys so much. "Sonic showers are not an erotic experience." He reminds you as he soaps and rinses your body. You then end up in your cabin, fucking in various positions. Taking more time together than you have had since he became a Maristo, so many jaros ago.

Lying in each other's arms, he asks, "Should I return to my ship or sleep here?"

"You aren't in uniform. When is your next shift?" you ask.

He stretches and reaches for his minividi. "I still have a few hours."

You kiss him and smack his bare ass. "Head back to your ship. I don't want you to lose your job because you weren't on station in time. Hell they might replace you with an Uggo who doesn't like to eat pussy."

He smiles back at you as he dresses. "You might luck out and get one who is better looking than me and a better lover."

You sit up, your breasts slightly bouncing, and kiss him. "Who is to say I haven't already? Maybe you aren't the only one who performs "routine inspections" on me?" you say playfully.

He kisses and hugs you. "Are you going to walk me down, or shall I let myself out?"

You sigh and pull on a set of cargo coveralls but without underwear. "I will let you out, but that is just so I make sure that everything is secure."

You share one last kiss at the portal. As he leaves, Kurgio returns. "Do you need me to watch the ship, Skipper?"

You smile knowingly, and shake your head. "No, thanks. I got all the pleasure I need for now. Though I might get some sleep. I'm heading back to my cabin. The ship is all yours. Though when Cookie gets back, have her check the galley, we might need to restock on a few things before we leave the station."

"Aye, Aye, Captain." He says as you walk away, softly humming a pleasant tune to yourself, and then go to bed.
