He was sitting quietly at the table, a wine glass in one hand, the other played gently with the hair of lani as she sat at the side of his chair. The glass was tipped back a bit as a small swallow of the light red fluid was ingested. There was a slight rumble as he looked towards the wall opposite from where he was sitting. Dangling by their wrists were three girls of various sizes, shapes and colors. Gagged with ball gags, their tears and salvia were mixing at their chin. The light blue girl with the ragged short green hair was amusing.
lani had asked for her. He didn?t need to be looking at the girl to know she was excited by the prospect of the sounds she would make as she was broken and used. The other two were human or humanoid. It really didn?t matter that much. One was a blond, the other a dirty blond. He didn?t take the time to get to know their names ? there was no need to ? they wouldn?t have them for very long. It was a successful trip in his opinion.
The speaker on the wall crackled. ?Your lordship,? it began. It was the pilot?s voice coming over the comm.
?Yes, what is it?? Another swallow of the wine was executed.
?Sir, we are approaching the range of the Stellar Domination. We are coming out of hyperspace now.? Reported the pilot, ?We are opening up communications now.?
?Be sure to patch it through,? commanded Travanix as his fingers still lingered in lani?s hair.
?As you command.? The pilot broke off. A few seconds later, his voice again came but not for him. ?Stellar Domination, this is transport, VLM-901.?
There was a moment of silence before the response came back with another voice. ?Transport VLM-901, this is Stellar Domination. We have you on our long-range scanners.?
?Acknowledged, Domination.?
The lieutenant commander looked over the shoulder of the comms officer as he responded. ?Stand by to transmit access code and cargo manifest.?
?Standing by for transmission,? responded the voice over the comm.
The comms officer looked up at the lieutenant commander who nodded back to him then turned towards the raised platform of the bridge. ?Captain, Transport VLM-901 is on approach.?
The captain turned away from the large windows that exposed the stars to the bridge. ?Prepare for the arrival.? The captain approached the comm station. ?Proceed with transmissions.?
The commander who was looking over the comms shoulder reached out and pressed the transmission activator. ?Transport VLM-901, begin transmission of access codes and cargo manifest.? He released the button. ?Order support to prepare for the incoming transport,? he said to the adjoining officer.
The officer nodded just as the pilot of the transport opened up his channel again. ?Transmission of access codes and manifests commencing. Stand by.?
?Coming in now,? reported the commander. ?Access codes are good, Captain.?
?Give them a route in.? The captain said, before there was a break in the transmission and a bright spark in the distance.
?Sir! The transport just exploded!? Reported the sensor chief. ?No other ships are reported in the area!? There was a buzz on the bridge now as station logs were reviewed ? was there something missed?
?Commander, did you get the manifest before the ship was destroyed??
The lieutenant commander looked up to the platform. ?Sir, we did. Lord Travanix was on that transport.?
There was a moment of quiet on the ship before the captain spoke up again. ?Notify the Lady Hess and Lord Pol.? He turned towards the front of the bridge. ?Helm, move us into position, assume defensive posture. Shields to full.?
