Chapter 53 - Chapter 49: Gratitude and Questions

Last Chapter Recap: "Yes, Master~" the three slaves said in unison, each striking a sexy pose.

NOW

Crew Deck

After morning tryst with my lovely slaves, I walk into my shift fully refreshed, a man ready to take over the world!

That being said, not everything is going smoothly. Goliath's mainframe is still slowly working on decrypting the captured database, and lt. Chand is still interrogated without my knowledge by rest of the crew.

"If I only knew what that bastard could spill..." Adam said through gritted teeth. "Grrr!"

"Ensign!" Laura called out, her voice sharp and urgent.

I am rescued from dark thoughts by the appearance of lt. Titties, all in smiles.

"Oh, Lieutenant," Adam said, a bit surprised. "You're up already?"

"Yes! I was only knocked out for a few hours!" Laura said, then hesitated. "Erm..."

"Hm?" Adam tilted his head, raising an eyebrow. "Something wrong?"

"I heard from the doctor you were the one who rescued me..." Laura said, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Thank you very much, Ensign!"

Oh, is Ivanna already seeping poison into Titty's ears? As expected of my first slave.

"Ha ha, I can't claim the entire credit," Adam said with a relaxed smile. "Major Aurora was the one who stormed in first."

"Yes! I'll thank her later too!" Laura said, her cheeks slightly flushed. "But I wanted to show my gratitude as well, Ensign."

"Yes, you certainly showed it... erm..." Adam rubbed the back of his neck, glancing at her with a hint of a smirk. "May I ask you a question, Lieutenant?"

"Of course!" Laura replied with a smile.

"Did Lt. Chand tell you why he did what he did?" Adam asked, his voice tense with curiosity and concern.

"No... but I could tell he didn't want to..." Laura said, her voice trailing off as she struggled to find the words. "How to put it... I don't think he was in control of himself..."

"Did he go mad?" Adam asked, his brow furrowed with concern.

Nanomachines confirmed. Probably a botched job though. Or maybe… older model?

"He had those strange fits..." Laura said, her voice trembling slightly. "Sometimes he was calm and cold, and other times he'd break down and cry..."

"I see," Adam said, his tone thoughtful. "Perhaps the mutiny took its toll on him."

"Perhaps..." Laura said softly. "I hope the captain and the others aren't too hard on him..."

How cute. Even after three days as a hostage, she still cares about the captor. Dear lieutenant, you're too naïve for this line of work.

"Lieutenant," Heidi said with a raised eyebrow, "didn't the doctor tell you to take it easy?"

"Ah—Commander!" Laura said, a bit flustered. "I'm sorry, I just thought… I feel really well!"

"Good day to you as well, Commander," Adam said with a respectful nod.

"Is that irony I hear?" Heidi said, raising an eyebrow. "From a guy who skips out on his job?"

"Ugggh..." Adam groaned, rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish grin.

"Commander..." Laura said softly, her voice tinged with hesitation.

"I appreciate your sense of duty, but we're in no hurry," Heidi said with a reassuring smile. "Because of our encounter with the Neo-Terran carrier, we're taking a short detour."

"I-I see…" Laura said, her voice soft but insistent. "But I really feel well, Commander…"

"In that case, consider it a free holiday," Heidi said with a small smile. "We don't get those on the Goliath often, right? Make full use of it."

"If you insist then, Commander... Ensign, I guess I'm banned from the deck today," Laura said with a light laugh. "Ha ha, please take care of the comms interface for me."

"No problem, Lt.," Adam said with a smile. "Take care of yourself!"

Ahhh, titties. You might be the most gullible person on this ship. I might even preserve this part of your personality when you finally become my slave.

"You're not in luxury to cover for others," Heidi said sharply. "The work has piled up those last two days—intelligence work."

"Spare me, Commander," Adam said with a sigh. "Two chance encounters on a hyperplane would be a new world record."

"There are no chances in our line of work," Heidi said, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of her lips. "Or do you wish to help with the engine? Some manual labor might work wonders on you."

"As if another pair is needed down there..." Adam said with a smirk. "I bet the lower deck is pure chaos right now."

"Of course not," Heidi said confidently. "Petty Officer Aarav can handle things just as well as Lt. Chand could."

"Aarav... ah!"Adam thought to himself, a mischievous grin spreading across his face."Heh heh... ha ha!"

 Sigh… "I concede, ma'am," he said, a hint of frustration in his voice.

"If anyone sneaks up on us," Heidi said, her tone stern, "I'll be holding you personally responsible, Ensign."

One day, I'll make this damn woman my private cum dumpster…!

I have no choice. I'm still way to oppose someone like commander… but soon, very soon, that will change!

"Situation... all clear," Adam said, his voice calm and confident.
