>lieutenants
I feel everyone that came out of the Vats are too new and inexperienced to promote. That would leave only the original 3 crew members as candidates.

Shara is too much of a hot head and Zell is probably too lazy. That would leave Regina as the only candidate for promotion.

>Tizli
Yes, she can sleep with you.

>>1018783
>Tolzan would be a good choice
>he's got experience with being a lieutenant
I suppose he'd also be a good choice. Promoting him would also show that we see the alien crew members as equals and we're not going to only choose Sakkilians for promotions.

>Only if he's officially joined the crew!
I agree with that.

>Uh, just approach from the opposite side? No need to orbit *before* circling around.
According to Vul, the only place that’s for certain outside the sight of the cannon battery is the planet that it is orbiting, which is rather hard to go through, no?
>We could shove our most heavily shielded ship in its face to distract it from the lander, but it's *designed* to punch holes in big ships...
Which is why we don’t distract it with a ship, but with something that we won’t mind getting a few holes in. Like a decoy.

>Then we should think about getting the crew quarters upgrade. Getting it ahead of time would be better than waiting until the last minute.
A good idea, though we’ll need some Basic Metals, Noble Metals and Organic Material first. Hmm… we can buy the BM here… and Vul said the green planet had NM on it… which only leaves OM. Gamma system did have a planet full of the stuff if Tozlan is correct, though it was full of dangerous fauna.
>Let's hope issues won't crop up before we can send Gherni in for his checkup. Make sure there's someone to keep an eye on him.
It’s a her, but she should be safe for now. We’re just sitting in the port, so nothing dangerous should happen, right?
>Don't get too defensive when she sees your storage has all four material types split evenly. You didn't know how to keep them.
They aren’t split evenly, as one unit of one thing is vastly different from one unit of another. They also require different way to store them. After all, a few liters of acid strong enough to eat through our ship’s hull is not going to be stored in the same way as about 20 ton of timber.

>Consider just sleeping with her. It's not that you don't want to try anything else. It's that you want to get past the fact that the only person she could sleep with until now is her brother. Definitely do not overthink the implications.
What implication? Both she and Tozlan have mentioned that Raolme are rather social creatures, and likes to sleep in large piles of people. It’s… different, sure, but it’s not that odd.
>Hmm, I wonder if she'll try to seduce you?
Tizli is as blunt as a sport bat; her “seduction” will probably consist of asking you if you want to do it.
>If this leads to having some fun in the bedroom, then you won’t complain!
…of course, even if she’s blunt, you’ll probably not say no, right?
>Sure, why not. I am curious to see if she'll pull an excuse to "sleep" with you.
Thanks, Captain, you’re just the briniest! I’ll be a real pearl in bed, don’t you worry!
As long as I get a full night of sleep, I won’t complain, Tizli.
I promise you that you’ll sleep like a nestling while I’m nuzzling you!
If you say so…
I’ll come over tonight, alright Zento?
I’ll be expecting you then, Tizli.


>Something you want to consider, beyond merit and experience, is need. No doubt a promotion could direct ship improvement such that a lieutenant's skills or talents could be applied better, or would matter more. What would be worth specializing in, at this stage?
It’s a bit early to specialize in anything, as you pretty much need everything at this moment. What you really need is someone that can keep the crew working to their full capacity, honestly.
>No choosing your own children or your clone. That’d be seen as you favoring your own blood.
Not choosing them at all would cripple us to much, seeing how much you’ve been spreading your seed already. In the end, you’ll need to choose whoever is best for the job, no matter their blood relation to you.

>What does being a Leader mean? What skills does Tara have as one?
The skills a leader should have, probably. Being able to direct people around, understand people, to take both quick and hard decisions as well as being calm under pressure, is your guess.
>Tara is a shoe-in, literally a born leader.
She might be…
>She’s actually not a good choice. Everyone knows that she’s the Captain’s clone, so it’d be seen as favoritism, especially since she just barely got out of the Vats today. She’ll need to prove herself first, just like everyone else. She can be a lieutenant after she’s proven to be a good choice.
…but as you say, you have no idea how she’ll actually act now that she’s outside the Vat. What we know is her background, where she apparently was a decent leader, at least according to the Vat system. After that, we’ll simply have to wait and see.
>Be careful with her. She might try to overthrow you if she thinks you’re doing a shit job as Captain.
Which is why you’re not going to do a shit job as a Captain, it’s as simple as that.
>Could one of those things be a threesome with the Commander? (Com'on we're all thinking it. No?)
Actually, you’re currently trying to figure out if it counts as incest or simple masturbation to knock up your clone…

>Shara is too much of a hot head and Zell is probably too lazy. That would leave Regina as the only candidate for promotion.
Hmm… Regina might be a good candidate as well… you’ll keep her in mind for now.
>Honestly, I think Tozlan would be a good choice. He was a lieutenant on his ship, so he should be just as capable of a lieutenant on our ship.
Hmm… he’s also very knowledgeable with the galaxy around us… and he seems to be getting along with most of the crew as well. He might be a good first choice, yes…
>Wait, did he ever say he’s officially joined our crew? If he hasn’t officially joined our crew yet, then never mind.
…he’s been helping us out for days and been taking out a salary, so… he’s practically crew already? Just not officially, you guess? You better fix that right now.

Ah, Captain, my friend! What can I help you with today?
Tozlan, I wanted to talk to you about your crew status.
Oh, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that, friend. I’m sure you already know, but I’ve decided to stay here with my sister for now… and I’ve already been helping out where I can as often as I can, so I was wondering…
Of course you may join our crew officially, Tozlan.
Great! Though… there are a couple provisos, a few quid pro quos… see, my contract states that I’m ranked as a lieutenant and that I should be hired as one if possible, friend.
I was actually already considering promoting you, Tozlan, seeing as you practically already are a crew member… welcome aboard, Lt. Tozlan.
Thank you sir, you have my word that I’ll make sure this pearl of a ship swim through the stars as if it was made of foam.

[Lt. Tozlan the diplomat has joined!]

>Oh I just realized we should probably ask our Raolme crew for advice on how to optimize our trading in this system.
Trading advice, friend? Why, it’s easy. Buy low, sell high... which is done by having friends in the right places, Captain. It’s simply a fact of knowing who’s selling what and who’s buying it.
And for the current system? You have any advice?
We’re not going to find any cheaper BM or Fuel anywhere else, so it would be prudent to fill our coffers with it for now. I also know for a fact that Trade Clan Tauzaka to the east will be selling both Corrosives and Organic Material for slightly less than these miners are willing to buy them for, so we can make a profit by simple buying there and selling here, friend. Though, unless we find someone willing to pay a premium for either fuel or Basic Metals, we have nothing to stock up on in this system for the return trip.
Hmm… thank you for your insight, Lieutenant.

>I’m kinda interested in what Zell has been up to being a miner and knowing minerals and all that and considering he was the only other guy for a while and no bonding really happened with him. That and his daughter.
Sadly, you simply won’t have the time to bond with everyone, especially now when you’re starting to get more crew on the ship. Of course, you can still just ask him what’s he’s been up to if you see him… speaking of witch, he’s right there.
Huh? Oh, Captain, didn’t see yah there, son. Yah’re wondering what Ah’m up to?
We are heading down to the planet for some shore leave, love.
Indeed we are, and Ah was going to ask if Tozlan ‘ere wished to accompany us.
Sadly, I must decline, my friends, as I already have other plans with someone else.
Ah! An evening with ‘er, then? Go for it, brother, Ah know yah’ll get ‘er.
Thank you for your confidence, brother.
I have no idea what that was about, sir, but do you want to come with us, Captain? I wouldn’t mind having a handsome gentleman like yourself around, Ohoho!
‘ow about it Captain? Me, Gherni here, that new fellow Car, Shara as well as my lovely daughter was planning on going down and have some fun, lad. Do yah wish to join us?
We can hit a nice little lounge to fester in and play a game or two of Frumpy!
…do what in the what now? Ah was thinking of just grabbing a drink or two and just take it easy for a bit…
That’s what I said, love.

Your communicator beeps as a new messages arrives:
Hey, Captain! I’m going down planet side with the two new gals, Tara and Iris… as well as Ikekeki. Do you want to come with us? We’re planning to hit a club or something if we find one.

…why does everyone suddenly want to be you pal?

Go with Zell's group, to get to know the new hires a bit better. Tell Tizli as much, and also it sounds like if you're not there, they can have a ladies' night out. A bit more fun, you think, since they can talk about stuff they might not want to talk about with you there.

>…why does everyone suddenly want to be you pal?
Have you looked yourself at the mirror? This is good news, though! It means that you must be doing well in the social aspects of your job. The crew is happy and for some exceptions, everyone seems to get along just fine.

I thing that getting to know the new crew members would be the right choice in this case.

Zells girl feels like someone you can finally truly dominate in the bedroom. Big ol' mating press will get her to loosen up and be a better pilot by cheering her up.

>Which is why we don’t distract it with a ship, but with something that we won’t mind getting a few holes in. Like a decoy.
Could a ball of BM and NM throw off their targeting systems be enough to throw off their targeting, or does it have to be as complex as a lander?

>The skills a leader should have, probably. Being able to direct people around, understand people, to take both quick and hard decisions as well as being calm under pressure, is your guess.
That does sound like someone you'd want in charge on a multiple-day off-ship mission, or a colony. Would it be a good idea to have her work under the local High Magistrate? For the experience?

>Actually, you’re currently trying to figure out if it counts as incest or simple masturbation to knock up your clone…
Suppose it depends on how much your clone starts to diverge from you. Considering he's a she now, that'd be pretty divergent in itself unless you've been harbouring a desire to experiment with certain biomods.

>I’m going down planet side with the two new gals, Tara and Iris… as well as Ikekeki. Do you want to come with us?
Here's a vote to clubbing with your girls. Or more likely, playing chaperone and mediator. Among other things, you do understand one of them's in power armor, right?

>>1018863
Let everyone know that you want them to drink responsibly if they have any alcohol. Your only rule is "Don't get drunk enough to board the wrong ship". Other than that, have fun everyone!

>>1018980
They may end up in an impromptu "recruitment drive", as well. Should we rule yay or nay on that, or leave up to chance/discretion?

>>1018890
I'd say that fits more to Zell himself. Not producing anything from it doesn't mean not desiring it.

>Zell’s girl feels like someone you can finally truly dominate in the bedroom. Big ol' mating press will get her to loosen up and be a better pilot by cheering her up.
Tes has definitely been a good gal so she deserves being put in a nice mating press and get an egg pumped into her on a regular basis. To help her loosen up and de-stress a bit, of course. Her mother Shara also deserves a proper mating press, though it’s because she’s been a bad girl. Hmm… maybe you can do both mother and daughter at the same time? More efficient that way, heh… though it has to wait, for now…
>I'd say that fits more to Zell himself. Not producing anything from it doesn't mean not desiring it.
You only have your eyes on the ladies, so Zell isn’t your area of expertise. Maybe Doxy can help him cheer up a bit?

>Why does everyone want to be your pal? Have you looked yourself at the mirror?
Yes, you know. You didn’t mean it generally, but more questioned why everyone suddenly wanted to invite you somewhere in this exact moment in time. It’s one hell of a coincidence.
>This is good news, though! It means that you must be doing well in the social aspects of your job. The crew is happy and for some exceptions, everyone seems to get along just fine.
It’s quite surprising there haven’t been more fights yet… but you guess it’s just a matter of time…


>Go with Zell's group, to get to know the new hires a bit better.
Yah’re welcome to join us, lad. The more the merrier.
I’m sure it will be quite the exquisite evening, Ohoho!
The other should be waiting for us at the exit, son. Let’s not keep them waiting, eh?
>Tell Tizli as much, and also it sounds like if you're not there, they can have a ladies' night out. A bit more fun, you think, since they can talk about stuff they might not want to talk about with you there.
Aw, was hoping you wanted some fun… but I guess it’s just us gals then. See you tonight?
See you tonight Tizli.
>You do understand one of them's in power armor, right?
Don’t worry, she’s leaving it on the ship. Not worth the hassle to bring it through the customs just for a few hours of brine.
>Let everyone know that you want them to drink responsibly if they have any alcohol. Your only rule is "Don't get drunk enough to board the wrong ship". Other than that, have fun everyone!
We’ll drink responsibly, DAD. Hehe, but yeah, I know how to float in the foam, don’t you worry.
No promises, love. Ohoho.
Don’t worry, lad, I’ll keep an eye on her.
Aw, you’re no fun.
>They may end up in an impromptu "recruitment drive", as well. Should we rule yay or nay on that, or leave up to chance/discretion?
As long as they don’t get forced into a shotgun wedding or anything it will be fine. They are adults and make their own decisions… and have to deal with the consequences themselves.

The group of people you decided to accompany makes their way through the colony customs, before taking the long elevator ride down to the planet. When exit the starport, it is like you walk into a wall of pure dryness, dust hanging heavily in the windless cold air, and before you a small colony presents itself as the only speck of color on the planets barren landscape. Most of the colony is made out of gray, blocky buildings clearly built for utility than pleasant design, with the skyline dotted with tall spires that has large platforms on the top of them. It is clear that these aliens cherish those towers, as nearly every last one of them has a Flaûgnir occupying it, as well as having several others flying through the air close to them. Vul was right when she called this place “The Dustball”.

>Could a ball of BM and NM be enough to throw off their targeting, or does it have to be as complex as a lander?
You’re unsure how the cannons targeting system works, but it might just shoot at any object big enough to be a threat to it… including things like asteroids or just be rocks from a planet. Hmm… if we would pelt it with enough rocks Tes might be able to sneak by with a cruiser and disable it. It’s risky, but might be doable.
>That does sound like someone you'd want in charge on a multiple-day off-ship mission, or a colony. Would it be a good idea to have Tara work under the local High Magistrate? For the experience?
While it might be an idea to leave some kind of diplomatic liaison on planets who’s alliance you seek, like with Vul’s colony, but Tara? On paper, sure, she sounds fine… but you haven’t actually seen her in action yet, have you?
>Suppose it depends on how much your clone starts to diverge from you. Considering he's a she now, that'd be pretty divergent in itself unless you've been harboring a desire to experiment with certain biomods.
Well… you can’t deny that you’ve considered testing it out once or twice, just for fun… but indeed, she’s is different from you. She won’t have the same memories and thus the same personality as you either, which brings up the question… what exactly is she to you? …and can you bang her?


You, Zell the grumpy miner, the pregnant Shara, Car the stone gargoyle and Gherni the mushroom lady walk into the bar right outside the starport, the one clearly designed for alien visitors in mind, and only Gherni says ow.
Ow! Why do they have to make the doors so short?
Because you’re twice as t-tall than any of us Flaûgnir?
Hmpf…
Only Tes, Zell’s daughter, doesn’t take a seat at the table you find, as she’s more interested in something she spotted outside.
*Huff* Nothing beats a nice drink after a ‘ard day of work, eh lad and lasses?
Nothing beats a classy drink on any day at any time, Ohoho!
…Ah think Ah’ll skip the drinks if you won’t mind. They are racing some kind of hovercraft over the empty plains out there, and Ah thought Ah might see if Ah can get in on that action as well.
Aw, we haven’t even started and you already uproot yourself?
Just be careful out there, Tes.
Ah will, father. Ah won’t crash or anything.
Double aw, the crashes are the best part… but let’s focus on what is important, gentlemen and ladies, what is your poison?
No alcohol for me, as I’ve got a little boy in my cargo bay. I’ll grab one of those sodas that the orbital hanger got ads of plastered all over it.
Ever since you left the ship with Shara, you’ve notice that several of the Flaûgnir have been staring at her belly, both subtly and unsubtly. Mostly what you think is female Flaûgnir, but it’s hard to tell. You wonder why… is there a taboo about having a belly like that in the open maybe?
So you a-are with child. It d-didn’t want to m-mention it just i-in case… y-you know…
You though I might just be fucking fat?
Err… well… that’s… y-you’re an alien, so I didn’t know… err… so who’s the father anyway? Someone on the ship? Y-you’re pretty far into your… um… pregnancy, right, so they might n-not even be someone that’s around these systems, no?
Heh, it’s the Captains and I banged him just yesterday.
Yesterday!? Y-you grow that fast!? You two are mates or…?
We have the technology to make it quicker… and no, we’re not mates. (You can see Shara thinking “No, he’s my boytoy”, but choosing not to say it.)
Oh, so it’s a strategic child? Like to seal an alliance or partnership?
Heh, he wish he was in an alliance with me.
Now, let’s move on from Car here making a fool of himself and have some fun, shall we?
I for one just want to relax…
I on the other hand want to know what’s up with you guys. Never met a talking mushroom before.
While I would desire a splendid evening where me and Car here would get to know our new employers a bit better. I have no idea what kind of alien you are either, so… maybe we can play a drinking game like “I’ve never” or something similar?
What that?
It’s easy, I say “I’ve never X” and you drink if you’ve have done X.
I can’t drink?
Ugh, fine, if you want to be fungible, then we can just talk and gossip like proper people.
No, seriously, I can’t drink. I don’t have mouth. I absorb things through cracks in my exterior.
And Ah’m pretty sure yah only learn dirty secrets with that game, and not what kind of person or alien the others are.
I give up, we don’t play that game. Fine… *grumble*…

>>1019108
Don't put a baby in your clone no matter what. Having sex with her is another matter... I'm not sure how your crew would react to it.

>only absorb things through cracks
If they can absorb things why can't he drink? Sounds like he's making an excuse. Also uh, how do they eat? I'm really confused as to how a creature could evolve with no mouth and still be as big as they are. You need a considerable amount of calories, and there are few high calorie liquids in existence that occur in nature. Not to mention they need a lot of proteins and minerals.

Anyway, uh, in the future you might want to make sure your crew doesn't talk about accelerated pregnancy tech where others can overhear it.
Ask why the other Flaugnir are staring so much.
Talk about where you were from, and what happened that you got stuck here.

>Well… you can’t deny that you’ve considered testing it out once or twice, just for fun…
Top and bottom? You don't have to do both if you still want to be manly, you know.
>what exactly is she to you? …and can you bang her?
After some thought, I've changed my mind: While you've been relying on more traditional means, cloning yourself is still a kind of biological reproduction. So that means she's your daughter, therefore you shouldn't bang her even if everyone wants the hermaphrodite. If you want to live out those fantasies, the right thing is to live them out yourself, not through her.

>Oh, so it’s a strategic child? Like to seal an alliance or partnership?
You might want him to elaborate on that, being in talks with the High Magistrate. This kind of relationship might be more common than anything you'd consider romantic. But to answer his question: yes, as a bonding exercise with your crew, this is technically true.

>I give up, we don’t play that game. Fine… *grumble*…
What brought you here anyway?

>>1019107
>Mating press for Tes
I'm not sure her father would approve. You saw how overprotective he was when you tried to send her to get corrosives from that other planet.

>>1019108
>several of the Flaûgnir have been staring at Shara's belly
Maybe they're having trouble with having children? I could see sharing the quick baby technology with them to help out. However, I worry that this colony won't be able to handle a sudden population boom like that.

It might be best to talk about this in private with Vul. Mostly because these people might want to raise their children the old fashioned way instead of instantly having their child be a fully grown adult.

>Drinking game?
It might be best to not play that game. It's too easy to get drunk like that.

>>1019154
>Don't talk about accelerated pregnancy stuff out loud
Yeah I agree. Never know when we might meet the wrong people to say that to.

I think it would be fine to screw your clone if she was up for first. It really only matters if someone is okay with it and then you can screw them.

>Top and bottom? You don't have to do both if you still want to be manly, you know.
You don’t need a dick to be manly, or a pair of tits to be feminine. In fact, in many ways you’re already rather feminine by Sakkilian standards. Of course, it’s a moot point, as you’re already happy as you are. Those thoughts were just a quick fancy, nothing more.
>I'm not sure her father would approve. You saw how overprotective he was when you tried to send her to get corrosives from that other planet.
That was a life and death situation, this is not. Not to mention, it’s her choice, not his. She can still just turn you down after all. Though then again, not trampling all over her father just for some fun might be prudent… hmm…

>While you've been relying on more traditional means, cloning yourself is still a kind of biological reproduction. So that means she's your daughter, therefore you shouldn't bang her.
Eh… you wouldn’t say she’s your daughter exactly, but still, you’re kind of related? You guess? It’s kind of odd…
>I think it would be fine to screw your clone if she was up for first. It really only matters if someone is okay with it and then you can screw them.
While consent is one of the most important factors, there are others as well… like if you’re related or not.
>Don't put a baby in your clone no matter what.
…you know what; maybe it’s for the best. As much as you like the idea of some “clonecest”, it’s clearly not worth the bother. It hasn’t been hard for you to find other ladies who are willing to share a pleasant evening with you so far, after all. (Not to mention, you’re here for the aliens, remember?)

>Anyway, uh, in the future you might want to make sure your crew doesn't talk about accelerated pregnancy tech where others can overhear it.
If things keep going like they’ve been going, it’s going to be hard to hide it for long, what with the physical evidence you show off. But yes, let’s not talk about to openly from now on…


>It might be best to not play that game. It's too easy to get drunk like that.
Aw, doesn’t any of you want to have some fun?
Ah rather drink responsibly.
Y-yeah… responsibly sounds f-fun…?
*Pout* Of course I go out with the plebeians…
Hey, it’s not like I can drink in the first place, Gherni.
Oh, of course a classy lady like yourself is exempt, Shara, Ohoho.
>If they can absorb things why can't he drink? Sounds like he's making an excuse.
Um… well, we can drink, we just… it’s hard to show we’re drinking?
Or you’re just a coward that was trying to get out of playing?
No, no, it’s not… not like that. Um… it’s just… we absorb liquids through the cracks of our exterior? It’s kind of hard to… show it off so… I can’t really show myself drinking like you do?
>Also uh, how do they eat? I'm really confused as to how a creature could evolve with no mouth and still be as big as they are. You need a considerable amount of calories, and there are few high calorie liquids in existence that occur in nature. Not to mention they need a lot of proteins and minerals.
…y-you see… we can kind of… survive on photosynthesis? In the old days, we used to find somewhere really t-tall to rest so that it would be easy for us to absorb the sunlight and… um… any water that might be in the air. So… we sat around for like… 22 hours a day… before going out do things for the last 11 when the sun finally set…
Oh, come on. I was hoping for something more hardcore than just “being a plant”.
Um… we’re rocks, not plants.
You know what I fucking meant.
Well… sometimes, a small animal or bird might come by and sit on us, mistaking us for a boulder…
Aw, ‘ow adorable, lad.
So we quickly grabbed them and smashed them between our hands or feet, slowly but steadily grinding their bodies into a fine paste so we might absorb the delicious proteins they contained.
Ew?
Heh, now we’re fucking talking.
But… err… we can do similar things with some plants too so… things changed when we learned farming and… here we are, several thousand years later?
I have to ask you to refrain from slowly crushing small birds into paste in the mess hall, Ensign Car.
Oh, of course not. That Vex fellow already said that the food synth would cook the food for me… err… not that I’ve ever a-actually e-eaten a bird raw myself... I mean… we’ve invented cooking?
Cooking is for plebeians. Do you want to know how someone with some real class eats?
Oh no… I… I know what you Mrrgh like. It’s not pleasant…
Oh, now we must hear about it!
My personal favorite dish is the Snork beast, a rather large if slow animal that’s very docile.
So yah put it on the grill or the oven or…?
Oh, of course not. You kill it, leave it’s corpse somewhere very damp and dark for a long while, long enough for the flesh to start to rot and the maggots to really dig in. Then, when the whole place reeks of death, you open up its ribcages and let your roots dig deep into the putrid carcass and then you take a long, nice sleep in it as you absorb all those sweet juices.
Feasting on the decaying bodies of your enemies? Now that’s fucking hardcore!
…Ah guess it’s a good thing we didn’t order any snacks… are the maggots even necessary?
They give both extra flavor and proteins!
…I have to ask you to refrain from dragging any rotten carcasses into the ship, Ensign Gherni.
Don’t worry, I know our eating habits are not the most pleasant to most aliens, so I’ll be keeping my feasting to my room.

>What brought you here anyway?
Here as in… this part of the sector? This planet? Your ship?
All three, if you want to tell us.
I guess I can give a pair of gentlemen like yourself the quick version, Ohoho. I was just a sproutling on a small colony world after the war, being bored out of my cap, so I decided that I would travel through the stars and set root on as many different and strange planets that I should find. So I’ve traveled across most of the sector before I came here and found you.
So yah want to join us to continue yah travels?
I want to join you because you’re strange and interesting. I’ve never seen anything like you before. Though to be honest, I would probably have joined any ship that came by, because this place is even worse than my old home, Ohoho!
I’m sure you’ll find plenty to explore with us, Gherni. And you, Car, why did you join us?
Oh… um… well… I’ve always like plants and… um… it was good money in taking care of greenhouses on newly established colonies so… I just kind of jumped from colony to colony and got here?
Last time I checked we weren’t a colony. Why sign up with us?
Err… you were the one who bought my contract? I mean… I wasn’t going to stay here for long anyway, rather find a place with more plant life, but… yeah… I’m saving up to build a nice little greenhouse somewhere, that’s about it…
So and explorer and a gardener, huh?
And what about you guys, huh? So far we’ve only gossiped about us? How about you two gentlemen and lady, what are you about? Starting with you Captain and the fine lady over there.

>To answer his question: yes, as a bonding exercise with your crew, this is technically true.
We fucking bonded, alright. But nah, it was more for fun than any other reason.
...was even the kid for fun?
Kind of?
I wouldn’t say he was for fun, no.
So who was on top?
She was… this time, at least.
HA! Like you would ever be able to get on top of me!
Oh, I got some ideas about that, you’ll see…
…are your mating rituals usually like this?
When it comes to Shara, yes. When it comes to our species as a whole, no, not at all, lad.
>You might want him to elaborate on that, being in talks with the High Magistrate. This kind of relationship might be more common than anything you'd consider romantic.
Eh? Oh, that… um… well… it’s just a good way to ensure people keep their part of the deal and… keeps alliances strong? After all, neither side wants to abandon or hurt their child, right? It’s kind of normal when you look at the nobles and royalty.
Now, enough about kids. Who are you guys anyway? Where are you from? I bet you’re from outside the sector!

>Talk about where you were from, and what happened that you got stuck here.
-but something went wrong on the hyperjump here, so we crashed with The Shed Scale in the Beta system nearby while the rest of the colony fleet… well, we’re still looking for them.
You got to be pulling my roots? You’re actually from another galaxy?
…that doesn’t seem very likely… are you sure you’re not from outside the sector?
We’ve traveled a long way, lad and lass, yah ‘ave to trust on us on that.
Um… I guess? Finding that colony fleet does sound like a… um… good cause?
I rather see what your galaxy is like, to be honest. It sounds quite fascinating, Ohoho!

>Ask why the other Flaugnir are staring so much.
They are? Um… I guess because you’re strange?
No, I meant at Shara… and her belly.
Eh? Oh… I… I guess? Um… I guess it’s because of… you see, it’s a bit hard for us to…
There haven’t been any new Flaûgnir born here for nearly a full year.
Oh? Why not?
Well… um… the Magistrates says it’s because of the planet and how it isn’t Terraformed correctly yet, but I’ve been in worse places and… um… never heard about the problem before so… it’s a bit odd?
Hmm... really?
And… um… I mean, we aren’t really enforcing it but… the IOD’s did outlaw sexual intercourse about a year ago too… so… there’s that?
…so they outlawed it a year ago… and you’ve had trouble making children since then?
Err… I mean… when you put it like that… um… y-you think there’s a connection?
…I can’t help but feel that there is.
>I could see sharing the quick baby technology with them to help out. However, I worry that this colony won't be able to handle a sudden population boom like that. And these people might want to raise their children the old fashioned way instead of instantly having their child be a fully grown adult.
The “Quick baby technology” that you refer to is actually several technologies, which means you don’t have to use all of them. You’re sure giving them your increased fertility drugs would be enough, which means you can keep your quick growth formula and Vat systems secret for now.
>It might be best to talk about this in private with Vul.
Indeed. This is something you definitely should talk to Vul about. She’s the one who makes the decisions in this colony.

Alright, enough boring talk, let’s celebrate! A standing ovation for the Captain and his quest for his lost colony!
Err… I still can’t drink?
Just shove your hand into that weird moss you ordered and start absorbing shit, Car. As for the rest of you…
Cheers, lass!
Yeah, let’s fuck someone up!
Cheers.
Um… skål? I guess?

[Meanwhile, on the outskirt of the colony]

You can open your eyes now.
Huh, where are we exactly? What- …oh… that’s… that’s a beautiful sunset…
A sunrise, actually. We are on a different clock compared to the planet, friend.
Wow… the view is amazing… how did you find this place? Did you spot it from the space elevator? Because it’s super beautiful…
I actually asked someone at the colony and… um… I can only take your word for it that it is beautiful, what with me being blind and all.
Oh, right… still, you have to… um… feel it, right?
I can feel the sun, yes, but it’s too far away to really hear… it’s kind just a black void in that direction… an eternal dark.
Well, I’m sure this place is beautiful for you as well, Tozlan, just in a different way…
… … …it’s too quiet. There’s no wind… no water… no animals or plants… it’s just… silence… kind of creepy, actually. Err… I mean... forget about that, I’m just dragging the mood down, aren’t I?
*Giggle* No, you aren’t. Don’t fret about it, Tozlan.
Well… um… so, I got a picnic basked here with some food and drink and… err…
…and what?
…so… should we just… err… start eating or…? My apologies, I’m a bit… out of my river here, Doxy…

[You can now control both Commander Doxy and Captain Zento]

ah, it appears the Flaûgnir speak the horrible, guttural North Germanic vernacular of, and may Allah forgive me for uttering this word, Sw*dish.
on that note, after some light drinking, Zento should excuse himself and meet with Vul to discuss the potential usage of the accelerated gestation tech by the colony. It would certainly be very valuable, though we should give her a lot of trade leniency as we want a good early impression with her colony and species. We should also ensure they use it ethically and cover our tracks if the IOD finds out and starts asking questions, as a comfortably positioned empire like that would surely crack down on any new technology that could potentially rock the boat. Now, Zento, though you have a translator, keep in mind litotes when speaking to Flaûgnir: if something is good, you say “that wasn’t bad”, but if something is bad you say “that wasn’t very good.”

In Doxy’s case I wouldn’t start eating before having a closer look at those approaching vehicles. Guys who travel as a group in motorbike-like vehicles in desert environments are never up to any good.

When you find the colony and get true ensigns you really dont see often or big enough crew to have factions that will really get this party rolling, and I wonder what type of governance the colony will have or maybe even multiple colonys that are different. Though the iod's main race has to be very strange to outlaw sex they either have an enforcer race or are very dictator like.

>>1019377
>…so…should we just…err…start eating or…? My apologies, I’m a bit…out of my river here, Doxy…
Tell him that he’s doing fine. Pull out the food and see what he’s got. Surely he’s got some of your favorites, since he was asking about them earlier.

>>1019398
>In Doxy’s case I wouldn’t start eating before having a closer look at those approaching vehicles. Guys who travel as a group in motorbike-like vehicles in desert environments are never up to any good.
That’s just Tes and a few of the locals on some hovercraft. Remember here: >>1019108 , Tes said, “They are racing some kind of hovercraft over the empty plains out there, and Ah thought Ah might see if Ah can get in on that action as well.” That’s what’s going on over there. Hovercraft racing.

>forget about that, I’m just dragging the mood down, aren’t I?
I actually find your way of "seeing" the world fascinating, Tozlan.

>>1019377
He's trying so hard. Enjoy the food and talk with him.

>>1019466
>Hovercraft racing.
Yeah, that's what it looks like.

>Tell him that he’s doing fine.
I am? You sure, friend?
Maybe be a bit more confident, hmm?
I mean… Of course I’m doing fine, friend!
*Giggle* That’s a bit better.
>I wouldn’t start eating before having a closer look at those approaching vehicles. Guys who travel as a group in motorbike-like vehicles in desert environments are never up to any good.
Huh? What vehicles? Are there vehicles around?
There are five of them on the other side of the canyon… though they seem to be going past us.
Oh… … …now that you mention it, I think I can hear some kind of motor in that direction… but no wheels?
They are hovering.
Ah, that explains it. No, my friend, I have no chance of hearing them this far away. As I said before, it’s like just an eternal darkness in that direction.
>That’s just Tes and a few of the locals on some hovercraft. Hovercraft racing.
Huh… one of them are clearly not a… um… stone person.
Flaûgnir?
Yes, that. And that look like one of our red uniforms? Is that a Sakkilian in second place?
Don’t ask me. Can’t hear them, remember?
Oh, right, sorry.
Don’t mention it, Doxy.
Wow, they just did a sweet jump…
…now I kind of wish I should hear that…


>Pull out the food and see what he’s got. Surely he’s got some of your favorites, since he was asking about them earlier.
Oh, the food! Yes… let’s see… being the scumsucker that I am, I didn’t think about asking you for actually food preference and instead settling on just snacks so… I was a bit in the eternal dark, but I think I managed to improvise a bit?
So, what did you find?
First off, a simple main dish. Just some prime cuts of a rather sweet tasting insect, nectar-based butter and some nice bread.
*Giggle* You mean sandwiches?
Well… yes… but…. Um… very nice sandwiches? With nice meat on them?
Sounds super tasty, Tozlan. What else do you got in that basket?
I managed to buy a flask of Raolme Ambrosia here on the colony. Not the most expensive brand, mind you, but a tasty one.
Ooo! Now that sounds interesting! I have to try a glass of that!
And to finish off the night, I got some local veggies and two kind of dips, one Raolme one based on river herbs and one Sakkilian one based on… um… it’s some kind of cacti, I think? Either way, a real pearl at the end, no?
This is just getting better and better.
Then I was going to surprise you with some of that eye screaming you said you like but… um… it kind of turned into a weird soup? Zell said it melted and wasn’t worth saving so… err… I guess I sludged that one up?
It melted? Yeah, you need to keep it cold, Tozlan.
So I made some of the “chocolate” you guys had instead.
Why, I don’t mind chocolate either.
It… um… now that I look, seem to have also melted?
…wait, really?
Yeah, it’s just… a soup now? A brown soup that… *sniff*… it still smells really good?
Well… chocolate does melt in heat…
So… do we drink it or…?
Let’s start with the sandwiches and go from there, cutie?
>I actually find your way of "seeing" the world fascinating, Tozlan.
And I find your way of “hearing” the world quite extraordinary, Doxy.
Though it saddens me that you can see something as beautiful as this sun set… I mean rise, sun rise.
Don’t fret, friend, because there is so much beauty that I can hear instead. Just not… here. We’re both deaf in each other’s kingdoms, no?
That is one way to see it…
So you’ll just have to be my eyes and I’ll be your ears?
*giggle* That sounds lovely.
Heh… maybe we can find a place to settle down together, where the sunset is beautiful both for the ears and eyes?
Hmm… that does sound nice… though… Tozlan, I don’t want to lead you on but… I’m not looking for a long term relationship right now… at least, not one just bound to one person.
… … …oh.
I’m super sorry, I didn’t-
No, no, don’t fret, friend, I… feel something similar?
Oh?
I… um… hmm… how should I put this? Do you want to hear it diplomatically? Or just bluntly? Maybe I can… say it in an intimate way? Or a sexy way? No, no, that’s a scum filled idea. That would just be creepy. Super creepy.
Um…
I’m rambling, aren’t I? I apologize, I… um… didn’t think this is how tonight would go, honestly…

Your drinks clinks loudly as you once again make a toast.
In honor of my fantastic crew!
Fuck yeah!
Just doing mah job, lad.
I’ve so far only move some boxes around, Ohoho!
And you did it with such finesse and grace that I’m impressed.
Um… and I was just scanned a bunch?
Which helped us significantly, Car. I appreciate your work, all of you.

>I wonder what type of governance the colony will have.
You mean the Sakkilian Colonies? It depends on what stage they are currently in. The end goal is democracy, but they need to grow first with easier to handle systems.
>After some light drinking, Zento should excuse himself and meet with Vul to discuss the potential usage of the accelerated gestation tech by the colony. It would certainly be very valuable, though we should give her a lot of trade leniency as we want a good early impression with her colony and species.
While you definitely need to discuss this with Vul as soon as possible, right now is not the time. It’s super early in the morning here and Vul is definitely asleep… or whatever these Flaûgnir do, not to mention that you also need a proper night of sleep. Going to diplomatic talk tired and slightly tipsy is a really bad idea. It will have to wait until tomorrow, at the earliest.
>We should also ensure they use it ethically and cover our tracks if the IOD finds out and starts asking questions, as a comfortably positioned empire like that would surely crack down on any new technology that could potentially rock the boat.
If we’re lucky they’ll continue to stay out of this system… but if they don’t, we’ll just have to be long gone from here if they ever find something. Though, you’re sure Vul can be discreet enough with it.


>Though the IOD species has to be very strange to outlaw sex. They either have an enforcer race or are very dictator like.
I was wondering, about the IOD’s… why are they outlawing things like sex in the first place? And how do they enforce it? Do they have some other species to help them or…?
Um… well… they hate fun, I guess?
They kicked the spores of pretty much the combined might of all the species in this sector, making them the de facto rulers of it by the law of might.
And law of might isn’t an actual law, is it?
It’s not an actual law, sir, but… um… “we got the biggest guns, do what we say or you go boom”?
And I’m guessing they are trying to suppress people even more to keep themselves in control. Hard to revolt when you have no youngsters around. The sector is too big to have guns everywhere, after all.
And they don’t have enforcers then?
They do have… um… combat thralls, as they are called. People that’s been… forcefully requited most often.
They aren’t flying around outside the IOD’s sphere of influence, though.
I see…

Well, It’s been fun, but I need to call it the night. Got important matters to attend to tomorrow after all.
What? You’re uprooting yourself already? A real gentleman would keep a lady company for a while longer.
A real gentleman ‘nows when ‘e should stop as well. It ‘as been fun, lads and lasses.
You’re just worried about Tes, aren’t you? She’s fine, you old grump.
Hmpf… she probably is, yes… but still, Ah am rather tired, so Ah’m calling it the night for now.
*Huff* While I’d love to stay for a while longer, my little treasure in my cargo bay tells me I need a proper night of sleep as well… so I’m calling it quits.
Aw, come on… if I’d known you all were such a withered bunch, I’d gone with the others to the club… wait, why don’t we? Come on Car, let’s hit all the clubs and see if we can find the others!
Err… the colony only has one club… I think?
They they’ll be even easier to find! Come on!
Hey, wait!
Just make sure you are ready to work tomorrow.
No promises!
What? No! I promise! I won’t get left behind!
Oh, right, I’d be stuck here if you left without me… perish the thought. Alright, I won’t go to hard then, Ohoho!

Going by ship time, it’s not too late of an evening, but even than you rather get a good night sleep so that you can tackle whatever craziness tomorrow will throw at you. After all, you’ve done your duty for today, so you deserve some rest. Here’s hoping there won’t be some last minute catastrophe about to happen, because you’re really not in the mood…

…and you find Tizli waiting for you outside your room, dressed in a cute little pajamas and with a pillow in her mouth. You almost forgot that you promised that she could sleep in your room tonight. Definitely not a catastrophe, but still…

Catee, tee yoo aa!
I can’t hear what you’re saying with a pillow in your mouth, Tizli.
*Pew* Captain, there you are!
Wait, how long have you been waiting here?
Oh, not long at all. Slither into my bedtime clothes just a minute ago and was just about to put on a HoloVid and get all snug on the sofa in the common room. But with you here I can get snug on you instead!
Snug… on me?
Of course. You’re higher rank, so you’re going to be the bottom while I’m the top. Then I can ensure that you’re all warm, snug and well taken care of, no?
…you’re still talking about sleeping?
Yeessss? Why wouldn’t I be? I asked you if you wanted to sleep together, remember? I’m grateful, because we Raolme want our bedtime to be full of… intimacy and sensuality… heh….
…right. So, why are you here anyway? Weren’t you going clubbing?
Ugh, yeah, I tried, but the only club this scumhole has is no pearl in the foam, I tell you what! Way to loud music, really bad music, horrid dancing, horrid smells, horrid floor, horrid chairs and worse off all, someone stepped on my tail! It hurt!
Ow… so where are the others?
Oh, they stayed… they didn’t mind it too much, I guess?
And you didn’t want to hang with them?
Nah… I can’t stand Ike, that Iris girl was completely absorbed by the atmosphere and Tara kept blabbering on about something called… um… a yninon? It sounded super weird, but Ike loved the idea of it, so it has to be bad. But enough about that. Ready to go to bed, tall guy, because you’ll make a perfect mattress for me!

[You can still suggest for Doxy on her date]

>>1019535
"Please understand it's not you it's... the spacecrew life. One day, you think your nest-sister will be with you forever. The next, they're pushing you onto the last seat on the escape pod. When I hear lots of stories like that, especially when it's my job to hear it... I'm experienced enough to know better than to get too attached to anyone.

"No matter how much I like the image of a hilltop cottage with my cute little hybrid children running around. Big secret: I'm starting to think the best part of our vats is giving the eggs the best life we would have given them."

"That's what you wanted to ask, isn't it. If you wanted to make a "family". I would answer yes, in any way you are cozy with."

>>1019537
"Now now the custom is Holovid first. I'm not going to judge you on how to spend your free time, but if I'm the mattress tonight, are you going to be the one inflated tomorrow?" 😏

Sad that her tail got stepped on, she has a cute tail. Though im not sure he should sleep with Zells daughter as shes kinda like the girlfriend of his son. Doxy wouldn't really settle down even if there was a place to do so as she is part of a command structure and she would need lots of leave or to retire.

>>1019535
>No, no, don’t fret, friend, I…feel something similar?
>I…um…hmm…how should I put this?
Tell him to calm down, he doesn’t need to worry about it. Let him know that whatever he wants to say, he should say it.

Keep eating that food so it doesn’t go to waste. And I’m sure the chocolate is still good, you just have to get some on your fingers and lick it up.

>>1019537
>we Raolme want our bedtime to be full of…intimacy and sensuality…
How intimate is she wanting this to be? Does she only want to sleep on top of you or is she wanting to do something very intimate before both of you go to sleep?

Completely off topic, but I think there might be a way to help with that malfunctioning space canon.

Remember when we were fighting the pirates? One of their ships was cloaked! We should examine that Kelshin terminal to see if there are any blueprints for a cloaking ship. Then we could install the cloaking technology onto one of our cruisers. That would help with getting close enough to the canon to disable it without destroying it.

And now to get back on topic:

>>1019537
>Tara kept blabbering on about something called…um…a yninon? It sounded super weird, but Ike loved the idea of it, so it has to be bad.
"Oh, that's a Sakkilian drinking game. I hope they don't get drunk off their asses. We may not be leaving the system, but there are things that need to be done tomorrow."

>Ike
Who is that? Is she talking about Eki?

Invite her in and get comfortable with her on top of you. Ask exactly how intimate she's wanting to get?

>I’m not sure he should sleep with Zells daughter as she’s kind of like the girlfriend of his son.
…you’re saying Tes is Vex’s girlfriend? No, you’re pretty sure they are just acquaintances. Besides, you have this feeling that your boy Vex is into other boys. Though you can be wrong…
>Remember when we were fighting the pirates? One of their ships was cloaked! We should examine that Kelshin terminal to see if there are any blueprints for a cloaking ship. Then we could install the cloaking technology onto one of our cruisers. That would help with getting close enough to the canon to disable it without destroying it.
While it’s a great idea to use your enemies’ technology with your ships modular design, you’ve already checked the terminal for all the information it had. If you want to try and reverse engineer their cloaking technology, you’re going to need to capture or buy a ship with said technology.


>Invite her in and get comfortable with her on top of you.
Let’s take this discussion somewhere a bit more comfortable.
Let’s.
You open the door for her and she enters your room, swaying her tail side to side as her sharp claws clinks against the floor. Well inside she quickly makes her way to your bed and proceeds to sit down on all four right next to it, waiting for you to get ready.

>Sad that her tail got stepped on, she has a cute tail.
Damn right I do. This briny little thing has had many cute boys like yourself swooning after me.
*BrushBrushBrush* But you didn’t get to badly hurt? *BrushBrush* When one of those gargoyles stepped on it, I mean? *Brush* I just assume it was one of them. *BrushBrush*
It was… and they are heavy, let me tell you. Felt like a darn river bug bit me… one of those big ones, but luckily there weren’t any lasting damage… except for a bit of soreness. Oh, and may I ask, what are you doing?
I’m brushing my teeth? *Twee* Don’t you clean your teeth?
Not like that, no. I’m sure your teeth might feel like pearls after a good scrubbing, but ours? It would throw them right into the sludge and ruin the delicate coating they already have.
After you finish up in the bathroom, you find her in the exact spot you left her in, rubbing her tail a little bit with a rather sour expression. Though as you start to undress down to your underwear, you’re sure you see a slight smile spread on her face, even though she never move her head to look in your direction… though she probably don’t need to…

>Ike? Who is that? Is she talking about Eki?
Ike, Eki, who cares. She’s a cretin, that’s what she is.
Play nice, Tizli.
Pff, not with her, no.
Laying down on the bed, you barely have time to pull your cover over you before she jumps up on top of you. As soon as she regain her footing, she bend down her head and start sniffing you, all the while she slowly walk around in a small circle over your body, with her tail barely touching her snout as she does so. After spinning around three times she finally stops, satisfied with… whatever she did. You’re just lucky that she’s really light…
Heh, what are you doing?
Oh, just checking my new nest. Got to make sure there aren’t any big snakes hiding around the tall grass, you know, hehe.
So am I up to your standards, little lady?
Big, warm and rather soft… everything a gal would want. The only thing is a bit of an odd smell. But that will go away after I nuzzle you for a bit.

>Ask exactly how intimate she wants to get?
Hmm? Aren’t we already rather cozy?
She grabs the cover with one of her claws and lifts it. At first you think she’s about to pull it off completely, but instead she presses down with her other claw to make sure the cover doesn’t move.
Or do you want to get even… closer?
Now now, the custom is Holovid first.
She repeat the same motion with her other claw, pulling on the cover with it while pressing down with her other claw, before repeating the pattern again with the first claw…
A holovid? For being a mattress? Why, don’t your species usually hug and kiss those you care about?
We do even more than kiss, Tizli, at least to the one that we really care about. Though, the question I have… if I'm the mattress tonight, are you going to be the one inflated tomorrow?
Immediately when you say that, she stops and “looks” down at you questionably, before her ears shoots up when she figure out what she meant.
Captain Zento? Why, aren’t you naughty?
To be honest, I’ve got a lot of mixed signals from you tonight, Tizli.
Because I meant it when I said I wanted to sleep with someone, as in literally sleep next to. We Raolme hate sleeping alone, you understand, so no, I didn’t have any ulterior motives.
Really? And all those innuendoes?
…okay, I might be a tease, I admit that, hehe… and I wouldn’t say no to some nuzzling… maybe a bit of licking… oh, and head scratches, can’t forget head scratches! But… then again… as they say, when in unclaimed space… hmm… you do have protection, right? Though I’m fine with just head scratches if you don’t…

…you do not have any protection, no.

>>1019865
>no protection
Well it's not like you can crossbreed with her yet anyway.
But yeah you could settle for some scritches tonight.

Doxy: Ask him how he felt it would go. Something like... romantic cuddling, feeding eachother food, some conversation about pleasant topics, then a walk back to your room?
Then do that.

>>1019865
>While it’s a great idea to use your enemies’ technology with your ships modular design, you’ve already checked the terminal for all the information it had. If you want to try and reverse engineer their cloaking technology, you’re going to need to capture or buy a ship with said technology.
Dang. We’ll need to do something else to get to past that canon to disable it.

>no protection
I guess that means that you have to respect her wishes. No sex for you tonight. You’ll have to be satisfied with just giving her head scratches.

>>1019874
>Well it's not like you can crossbreed with her yet anyway.
Actually, I think it was mentioned already that Sakkilians and Raolme are similar enough to each other, that it is possible to crossbreed with each other.

>No protection
Head scratches it is then!

Keep the protection for now. Imagine how Eki would react if she found out you fathered a kid with Tiz. She'd totally be jealous! But maybe Tiz too, if it was the other way around...

Why not make a dare with her? If Tiz and Ike ever start getting along close enough to seriously consider a threesome with you, they'd agree to bareback. The results would be both symbol and reward of the peace you brokered between two former enemies.

>>1019939
>Why not make a dare with her? If Tiz and Ike ever start getting along close enough to seriously consider a threesome with you, they'd agree to bareback. The results would be both symbol and reward of the peace you brokered between two former enemies.
I don’t think we should say that. It wouldn’t be fair for her if we told her something that says, “You can’t have sex with me unless Eki is also here for a threesome.” That’d be a good way to make sure we never have sex with Tizli at all!

Also, I don’t think sex is enough of a reward to make Tizli start getting along with Eki. Especially if she would be forced to share the “reward” with Eki.

They gonna sleep or?

I didn't mean a reward for her. "Dare" was the wrong word, "bet" is better. Getting to their friendship to that point is so unlikely you might as well place a bet on it, however low the odds.

>Dang. We’ll need to do something else to get to past that canon to disable it.
Not necessarily. While we can’t do it at this exact moment, we’re not planning on dealing with the canon for a while anyway. If you keep your eyes out for a Kelshin ship, you might just get lucky.

>Well it's not like you can crossbreed with her yet anyway.
With Vex research into the subject combined with the technology you already possess, it should be possible for the two of you to reproduce. Though, as you still haven’t made a proper field test, you can’t say for certain if it will work or not.
>Actually, I think it was mentioned already that Sakkilians and Raolme are similar enough to each other, that it is possible to crossbreed with each other.
…they are aliens from another galaxy; of course you aren’t similar enough to crossbreed normally. But you already have the technology to create hybrids with the aliens back in your own galaxy, so it should work with the aliens of this galaxy as well.

>I guess that means that you have to respect her wishes. No sex for you tonight.
Just having her snuggling against your body is enough, honestly…
>Head scratches it is then!
Coo~
Oh? Do you like that?
*Purr* Oh, I love myself so good scriches…
As you scratch her behind the ear, she slowly lower her head until she’s laying on top of your chest.
*Purr*
Her whole body vibrates as she purrs, her hind legs scratching the air a bit as she enjoys herself…
… … …
Then her breathing slow down and get deeper… as she slowly drift off to sleep while laying on top of you.

>Imagine how Eki would react if she found out you fathered a kid with Tiz. She'd totally be jealous! But maybe Tiz too, if it was the other way around...
Oh right… both of them have shown interested in you, just as you’ve done to them, and it’s clear that neither of them care for the other. You might have put yourself in a rather sticky situation, as neither will probably take it well if the other bears your child.
>Why not make a dare with her? If Tiz and Ike ever start getting along close enough to seriously consider a threesome with you, they'd agree to bareback. The results would be both symbol and reward of the peace you brokered between two former enemies.
That sounds like a bad idea. Not only would any “friendship” that’s been forced like that be rather fragile, but you don’t think having sex with you is something both of them deem as a proper reward either… at least not for something like that.
>"Dare" was the wrong word, "bet" is better. Getting to their friendship to that point is so unlikely you might as well place a bet on it, however low the odds.
And if you tell her about this bet it would probably be even lower. No, let’s not force them into a relation neither of them wishes to be in.

Tizli mumbles something in her sleep as she nuzzle your chest… you guess it’s time to doze off yourself and join her…

Big secret: I'm starting to think the best part of our vats is giving the eggs the best life we would have given them.
…after the catastrophe with the jump between galaxy… it might just be…

>Tell him to calm down, he doesn’t need to worry about it.
Y-yes… I apologies, friend, but you’re right… I need to calm myself down a bit.
And stop apologizing all the time.
Sorry…
Heh, Tozlan…
>Keep eating that food so it doesn’t go to waste.
The two of you have already finished to main course and are now enjoying the snacks… and that super tasty whatever it was that he brought for the two of you to drink. It’s really sweet… just like Tozlan himself…
What do you think of the food?
It’s super delicious. Different, but delicious. I can’t complain, Tozlan.
That’s good to hear, Doxy… though I’m unsure about this chocolate thing… that one will be different for me instead.
Then I’m sure you’re going to be in for a pleasant surprise *Giggle*

>Please understand it's not you it's... the spacecrew life.
Hmm? What do you mean, friend?
Well… One day, you think your nest-sister will be with you forever. The next, they're pushing you onto the last seat on the escape pod.
… … …space isn’t the safest place, is it…
I hear lots of stories like that, especially as it's my job to hear it... I'm experienced enough to know better than to get too attached to anyone. No matter how much I like the image of a hilltop cottage with my cute little hybrid children running around.
…I understand. While I’d like dream about going somewhere safe with someone I care for, I… I don’t think there is a place for me like that anywhere right now.
…is the galaxy really that dangerous?
It just might be… but hearing you dream about a riverside cottage with cute hybrid children does brighten it bit…
*Giggle* Really?
But if we make the galaxy a safer place, then maybe… just maybe… that cottage might become reality, hmm?
Though… even then… I’m still a Commander of the Colony fleet… I’m still needed on the ship.
…after you’re done with your duties, of course.
Of course…
>And I’m sure the chocolate is still good, you just have to get some on your fingers and lick it up.
You put some chocolate on your finger and quickly lick it up.
What are you doing?
I’m just eating some of the chocolate.
Once again, you put some chocolate on your finger, but this time you take your time to really show Tozlan how you’re licking it off.
Do you usually eat it like this?
No, it’s usually less liquidly… or you have something better to dip in it. But try it, you’ll love it.
Instead of putting his own claw in the chocolate he gently guides your hand towards it with his tail, before guiding it toward his own snout after it has been covered by the sweet substance. Tozlan then proceed to sloppily lick your hand clean with his long tongue.
Hey! I meant with your own fingers *giggle*
It’s just so much sweeter being eaten like this.
It’s also leaving my hand super sloppy, you jerk.
Heh, I’m just doing what you asked, Dox. You know… this wasn’t what I thought would happen when I asked you out yesterday…

>Ask him how he felt it would go.
Well… I actually thought we would still be on the ship, friend… and just enjoy a normal dinner and conversation under the starry sky…
That does sound lovely as well, though… I do have some other ideas that might have worked…
Oh, really?
Something like... romantic cuddling, maybe?
That does sound lovely, yeah…
He moves a step closer to you, leaning his head on your shoulder as his tail coils around you.
Feeding each other food?
If we had the right type of food, maybe…
He dips one of his front claws in the chocolate and present it to you, letting you greedily lick it off him.
Some conversation about pleasant topics…
…and some topics that aren’t so pleasant… but still…
Then a walk back to my room?
Heh… maybe? Though… there was still that thing I wanted to ask you, Doxy…

>Let him know that whatever he wants to say, he should say it.
…
…he moves a bit so that his mouth is right next to your ear and whispers…
…do… do you want to help me become a father?

"Thought you'd never ask."

It'll be interesting to see what sex looks like with their different anatomy.

>>1020092
>hybrid babies?
Heck yeah.

>>1020091
Try to not wake her up by poking her with your dick!

>>1020092
>…do…do you want to help me become a father?
Answer yes.

Make sure you guys pick up everything before you leave! You don’t want to gain a reputation of leaving a bunch of trash behind!

>>1020092
Agree to help Tozlan become a father. Don't freak out if he has a weird looking alien dick.

>>1020092
Obviously you should say yes.

>No, let’s not force them into a relation neither of them wishes to be in.
Even if not intimate, it'd a shame if they could never patch things up. Their backgrounds are different, and their races are at war, but outlooks are similar enough that they really could've been friends in another life. It is a lot to forgive, I'll admit.

>you guess it’s time to doze off yourself and join her…
May you have pleasent dreams of wives and bellies, captain.

>do you want to help me become a father?
"I'm always ready to help men become dads.". Note to self: look up if superfetation mods are a thing. Not necessarily for you, just curious.

Shh, don’t ruin the moment! And of course you’re not leaving any trash behind, sheesh…
>Don't freak out if he has a weird looking alien dick.
Hey, you’re kind of hoping that his dick is super freaky.
>Obviously you should say yes.
Obviously.

Thought you'd never ask…

And that night Tozlan learned how to become a father… by mounting Doxy’s fine rump and humping a child into it. Meanwhile, Doxy learned that Raolme have two dicks and they both open up like a flower before orgasm.

Gazing out towards these unknown consolations, basking in the starlight of this new galaxy with Tizli sleeping soundly on your chest, you can’t help but to think back on everything that’s happen the last week. While you knew things would be different as well as difficult, you didn’t expect to be stranded with only a ship in a foreign galaxy without knowing if anyone else survived. Though even then, it hasn’t been that bad, has it? No one has died, even if there were a few close calls, and you might just have made an important ally for the colony fleet as well. You can only hope this luck will continue to be with you…

>Try to not wake her up by poking her with your dick!
…you’d like to think you have enough self-control to not sport a boner just because a beautiful lady is sleeping on top of you.
>Even if not intimate, it'd a shame if they could never patch things up. Their backgrounds are different, and their races are at war, but outlooks are similar enough that they really could've been friends in another life. It is a lot to forgive, I'll admit.
They are very similar in many ways, yeah… though it’s a given they would be rather hostile to each other. Remember, both of them have already tried to kill the other, so it’s clear that they aren’t just going to kiss and make up. And you don’t think their species are officially at war. One species just have a lot of space pirates in their mist while the others have a lot of space faring traders and merchants… it’s not surprising things might be a bit tense between them.
>May you have pleasant dreams of wives and bellies, captain.
With how things have been going lately you wouldn’t be surprised if there were a lot more large bellies in your future, hopefully mostly made by yourself. Though, if you’re to dream about your future brides and their round, beautiful bellies, you just might pop that boner you were worried about earlier…

Your attention is torn from the dreams of pregnant ladies to the lady sleeping on you, as she nuzzle your chest a bit in her sleep before kicking in the air a few times with one of her hind legs. Maybe she’s dreaming of husbands and… her own belly? Nah… probably not.
Gazing over her beautiful frame one last time, you finally close your eyes to let sleep come and bring a new tomorrow… a tomorrow that you just feel will be without any unwanted surprises…

[Commander Doxy is pregnant.]
[Ensign Tescia is pregnant.]
[Ensign Regina is pregnant.]

>>1020433
>[Ensign Tescia is pregnant.]
>[Ensign Regina is pregnant.]
Hmm. Wonder who the father(s) is/are.

Let's see, tomorrow... introduce our new farmer to the farm. Stocks are full so we don't need double duty there. Take a volunteer for mess hall and security (Sharah no doubt) and fill up research (next research project was Hanger) and misc tasks. I wonder if our storage expert would prefer cleaning or maintenance?
We might want to put a second person on security duty so that we can have a night shift. Now that we've hired some outsiders we need to make sure the ship is secure.

IIRC our next stop was to scan Gamma.

>a tomorrow that you just feel will be without any unwanted surprises…
You may have Doxy report to you from Medical on that front, after she meets some surprise guests there.

>[Commander Doxy is pregnant.]
"Glad you and Tozlan are getting along well. I'd hate for your new project to have any complications."

>[Ensign Tescia is pregnant.]
You didn't tell Tesc that you needed her skills today, or that gargoyles are compatable now. If she slept with with Car or a racer, don't judge. Just be surprised she was so quick. Unless...

>[Ensign Regina is pregnant.]
She was busy tonight, but who did she do? You were with the guys and you didn't see her around, right? So all males on board would be occupied, right? Unless...

... How do murgh reproduce? Try not to panic anyone about spores or anything, but we should send Gherni to Research. Here's to hoping we can stay on track today.

>>1020433
With how many new crew we’re going to be getting, we’d better invest in the Storage Upgrade so we can store more food and the Crew Quarters Upgrade so we can have room for all of the crew!

We should also consider better methods of making more food at a fast rate because if things keep going like this, the amount of food consumed will be greater than the amount of food being made, which is bad if we’re not going to be docked at a station for long periods of time!

>>1020441
>Tesc slept with with Car or a racer, don't judge.
I'm pretty sure it was one of the racers. Of course, we won't judge her. Her father on the other hand, might have a meltdown.

>>1020482
>Need upgrades and ways to generate food faster.
Yeah, with how quickly our crew is growing, we're going to be needing those things.
