Setting: CABRY III, High above the clouds
They had been flying for hours, or at least that had been how Lea felt.
In the arms of the metallic winged man the CMO had felt unsure. Had
these armoured beasts been sent to rescue them or had they been captured
by a larger evil? Many times Lea wondered if it would not have been
better to escape from their rescuers. The only problem had been that the
CMO had been absolutely certain that none of them would survive the fall.
Either by design or misfortune the four officers who had been rescued
had been kept out of reach from one another. Even had someone decided to
scream Lea doubted that anyone else would have heard anything. So the
only thing left for them to do was to wait and enjoy the scenery.
As majestic as the scenery might have been though Lea had rapidly
become tired of it. There were just so much clouds anyone could handle
before losing their marbles. By the time the mountain top had come into view
the CMO had been ready for a lengthy session with the Cns.
"Do you think that this is our destination?" Susan asked as the
metallic winged creatures closed formation.
"The odds are very much in that favour," Maya replied. "It would make
sense since our transports have been heading in this direction since we
were taken from the city. Adding to this that they have broken
formation for the first time since then would support this theory. Maybe now we will be able to figure out who orchestrated our rescue. If we are lucky
we might even discover the reason or reasons why," the CSciO said. For
a brief moment Lea wished that the winged creatures had been back in
formation. At least there no one could have been forced to listen to
Maya's rambling, regardless of how apropos it might have been.
With the delicate touch of a drunken Klingon the four officers were
dropped onto a flat platform. Everyone save Pravat managed to land on
their feet, but the injured Marine simply collapsed to the ground.
Immediately Lea, Susan and Maya rushed to Pravat's side and attended to him.
"Apologies for the landing, the Hawks are more brawn then brains but
they do serve their purpose."
Everyone, including Pravat, turned towards the origin of the voice and
what they saw stunned them into silence. A man appearing to be in his
later years stood in an open doorway. Since their arrival to this world
no one had seen another Humanoid, so that alone had been cause for
surprise. What had been even more unexpected had been the lab coat he wore
which identified him as a scientist.
"Shianna, Tabatha, please help our *guests* inside," the scientist said
before vanishing inside the opening. Almost immediately after two half
Fox, half woman creatures came out. The way the two females had been
dressed had hinted to them being much more than simple lab assistants.
Lea even wondered as to what sort of place they had been brought to.
The moment the two half fox women arrived next to the four officers Lea
felt light headed. As she glanced over the Susan the CMO noted that
Susan also appeared affected by something. Even May gave clear indications
that something had happened although none of them could tell what.
"Wow. You ladies can take me anywhere you want," Pravat said. The grin
on his face spoke volumes and pointed to primal thoughts that none of
the women cared for at that moment. Susan and Lea glared down at the
Marine in shock but neither one could cast any sort of blame. The reason
for this had been that as strange as it might have been both Lea and
Susan had felt something. An odd primal attraction for the two Foxes that
could not be explained and even less ignored
Maya being the scientist that she was quickly added together all of the
facts as presented to her. Although her biology had greatly differed
from the others, the Shillian had felt the same effect. Since this had
affected everyone at the same time which coincided with the arrival of
the Foxes the conclusion had been a simple one.
"We have to keep our heads on our shoulders. These creatures, whatever
they are, radiate a potent type of pheromones," the CSciO said.
"I thought pheromones only affected members of the opposite gender?"
Susan said. The simple task of thinking had become very difficult to the
point where the CMO could barely speak.
"Please come with us," Shianna said, her sweet sultry voice flowing
like silk on their souls.
All three women gladly complied without as much as a question. This
left the two Foxes to take care of Pravat who seemed more than happy by
the way things had unfolded. In a fog of thoughts Lea, Susan and Maya
followed willingly through the unknown opening regardless if they had
wanted to or not.
