Star Trek Chapter 26
They ate together, then Carly took over the surveying and Justin hit the rack. For the next four days, that became their routine, watch, eat, sleep, watch, eat, sleep, watch, eat...
Also, with the routine, Justin noticed that Carly was no longer as aggressive as she had been. Sometimes they'd make love in the bunk between watches but, for the most part, she was no longer so horny.
There were exceptions, such as the time Carly climbed out of bed and led Justin to the cargo bay.
With the gravity off and the doors open they floated in space. This time, however, as they floated in yang-ying fashion, Carly paid careful attention to Justin and, just before he came, she stopped sucking him and ducked her head to the side as she stroked.
Justin grunted in surprise but it was too late and Carly giggled as a thick string of sperm shot out of his cock and flew across the room toward the stars. It was followed by two others until the forth, not having the velocity to break its own viscosity, stretched out in an elongated drop, then stopped, then pulled back like a spring to gather back on his cock head.
Meanwhile, the other three shots moved across the room, stretching and collapsing as slowly spinning strings until the first hit the containment field. It bounced back and collided with the second where the two velocities pretty much cancelled out until the third added its momentum to provide an excellent example of Newton's first and second laws.
After hitting the containment field a second time the entire mass of sperm slowly floated back toward the couple. As it moved closer, Carly reached out and grabbed it. It schmushed into her palm, sticking. By now she was a couple of feet from Justin, floating free. With a giggle she licked the well traveled jez off her hand and swallowed.
Justin gently twisted his arms to cause a rotation that allowed the two to join hands, a wet, sticky hand hold. They pulled each other together and kissed, Justin again getting a second hand taste of his own sperm, then floated, cuddling for five minutes until they came close to a wall.
"I guess we'd better get back to control," Justin said after grabbing a lighting fixture.
"I'd kinda like a drink of water," Carly replied with a smile.
The next day, after waking him for watch, she seemed a bit uninterested and only had a mild orgasm while he ate her out, then knelt next to him and took him in her mouth. After he'd cum she got off the bunk and went to the basin for a drink. After turning back she turned back and said, "There you go dear...ready for watch."
Justin sat alone at the command console and pretty much felt like a jerk.
When they were still a day away from the Ferengi frontier, Justin turned on Revenge's transponder. Now any ship that approached would be able to identify him.
"I don't want to surprise anyone," he said before Carly went back to the bunk room. "I'd prefer if our encounter with the Ferengi goes as smoothly as possible. They can be a difficult lot."
Twenty-two hours later Carly noticed a blip on the screen.
"Justin," she called through the intercom, "there's a ship ahead."
Justin came out of the bunkroom rubbing his eyes. "Right where I'd expect to meet up with Ferengi customs." He punched a couple of commands into the coms system. "Yup, they're squaking Ferengi callsigns.
"Can't that be spoofed?"
"Yea. If they're not what they're advertising, we'll cloak and turn away," Justin replied.
An hour later the hail came. "Theseallonian merchant vessel, this is Ferengi Customs vessel Akbar. Please respond."
Justin opened a circuit and the face of a Ferengi dressed in some sort of uniform appeared on the screen.
"Yeah, this is Cooper's Revenge. I'd like to request transit through Ferengi space to the Federation."
The Ferengi looked off screen for a moment, then back. "I see that your owners have already arranged for payment," he responded. "However, you are still subject to search under Ferengi law."
"I understand sir. I will gladly pay any customs duties required. This is a small ship however, please limit the boarding party to two."
"Understood," the Ferengi replied. "I am sending the coordinates for a rendezvous. Please drop out of warp when we meet."
After the circuit had been shut down Justin turned to Carly. "It'd be best if you took your clothes off," he said.
Carly smiled, "Do we really have time?"
Justin chuckled. "No, that's not what I mean. You should be naked when the Ferengi come aboard."
"What?!"
"It's Ferengi...custom...that their women are naked whenever they can be...the exception is if they need clothes for protection...cold or whatever. If you're naked when they're here it will be seen as a ...polite gesture to them."
Carly looked skeptical, then closed her eyes and shook her head slightly while she chuckled. "OK, I guess so."
"Thanks honey," Justin said and turned back to the controls to alter course.
Half an hour later the light in the cargo bay shimmered as two people beamed in. Revenge's transporters were not compatible with the Ferengi design, so the officials came across using their systems. The cargo bay, being the largest open space on the ship, was the safest place.
"Welcome aboard Cooper's Revenge," Justin said after the two Ferengi had turned around. "I'm Justin Cooper, Master."
The ranking Ferengi looked at Cooper, then at Carly, then back. "May I see your manifest, Captain?"
Justin smiled. "I'm afraid I'm not carrying any cargo sir," he said. "I was sent out here to survey and maybe do some prospecting."
The other Ferengi gave Carly a leering smile before he noticed the dark glance from his boss. Then he took interest in other panels and systems in the room.
"Still, my I look around your ship?"
"Absolutely," Justin said. "Please, come this way."
"Is this the only member of your crew?"
"This is Carly Rand," Justin said, gesturing for Carly to step forward. "I'm not sure she's crew, more a traveling companion."
The Ferengi smiled at her. "Happy to meet you young lady," he said, then turned and headed into the passageway.
Justin gave them the two cent tour of Revenge, what there was of her to be seen. For the most part they took no notice of the naked preteen girl following them around except to nod acknowledgement.
"What did you find on your mission?" the Ferengi asked as they stood in the galley.
"Not much," Cooper replied. "The areas pretty sparse and the races are at least a century behind the Federation in technology."
"That is our impression," the agent said. "We have had dealings with their trade federation but they really don't have anything to sell."
"I must ask, however," he continued, "how you came to enter this region of space."
Justin looked at the Ferengi official with some hesitation. "I'm not sure it would profit me to provide you with that information but, suffice it to say, the cost of returning the way I came would be higher than the tolls paid by my employer."
"We will have to be mindful when setting prices for any future trips through our space," the Ferengi replied with a smile.
They went back into the cargo bay. The official raised his communicator. "We have completed the inspection, prepare to beam us back," he said.
There was no reply.
He leaned over to Justin and said in a low voice. "I have never seen an immature human before...most intriguing. Thank you for your polite acquiescence to our customs."
Then he turned to Carly. "I appreciate you following our customs young lady," he said. "I have heard of the...modesty...of humans, especially young females. Your acceptance of others ways will be most profitable to you."
Carly smiled back but didn't say anything.
The Ferengi stepped back. "Energize," he said into his com unit.
The two figures dissolved into light and disappeared.
