She was found at a wreck in space, and sended to an Hospital in Earth, where she recovered from his pains. End Chapter I. The Francine Lorena. In the year 2293 the spaceship "Francine Lorena" was appointed as cargo vessel, after having served in the Marine Corps for 39 years. It was bought by a chinese Consortium, to serves the line Mars- Holoturia planet, in the Alfa sun of the Auriga Constellation: uranium, ore, alluminium was brought to Mars, and manufactures products were send . Captain of the "Francine Lorena" was Lee Yang Foo, Astrogator was Lorba Deyatna (27), and Sarmenia Dulcoria was the Engineer. Plus this three people, 23 Electromen were in use; they were to perform every other founction on board. Representing the last wave of Servers, the Electromen were as similar as it can be doned to a human body. Also, they possesed every emotion a human can show in his lifetime. They were used on board of every vessel, as they didn t eat, drink, or sleep as a homo sapiens, so they were very ecconomic in long distance trips. 2299.1.23 The "Francine Lorena" was starting it s seven flight to Holoturia the 23.1.2299, with long and thin captain Lee Yang Foo saying:"- All systems go. Ready to depart." -"Aye aye ,Sir."- Answered Lorba Deyatna, and with sweating hands gaves some throttle out, so the cargo vessel began moving it s bulk among a hundred other stationary orbited vessels. Soon Mars was dimming in the distance; Astrogator Lorba Deyatna was steering the vessel to the best positioned site , in search for the first orbit to Holoturia, invisible to the eyes yet. -"First orbit ready, Captain." -"Proceed."- Said Lee Yang, gripping the seat`s arms, as they were into Hyper. The engines roared , and the big ship made a hole in front of him, who swallowed it in no time.... Inside the main cabin, everyone takes a deep breath...Seven minutes later, the ship, with a mighty jerk, was rejected again to normal space; the hulk began to gave out smoke, and the TV cameras shows them another environment. -"Hyper succesful, Captain. We are in the middle of the trip."- Said Lorba, with a tint of proud in her voice. -"O.K., then. "- The captain replied, unfastening the belt. He walks to the Astrogator chair, feeling the faked gravity; it was all right. -"Some forty eight hours more to the next jump, Sir. "- Said Sarmenia Dulcoria, looking up from her screens. The jumps in hyper space leaves all systems lacking capacity , so the generators were now bussy recharging the machines. In 48 hours the job will possibly be doned... The radio began playing a tune, all over the ship, as part of the phsycological treatment of the crew. The letter said: "if i see you tomorrow on some street and town all you need its i dont say hello i belong to another iT WENT LOVE SO GOOD you know someone I not suppouse to know just walk on by wait on the corner i love you but WE stranger when we meet just walk on by wait on the corner i love you but WE stranger when we meet ... in a dimn little corner in a place outside of town TO NIGHT WE TRY TO SAY GOOD BYE AGAIN but i know it s not over i ll call tomorrow night i cant let you go- so why pretend. just walk on by wait on the corner i ll love you but we are stranger when we meet just walk on by wait on the corner i love you but we are stranger when we meet (2). ******************** Captain Lee Yang Foo went to sick-bay, and asked to the three Electromen posted there something for a pain in the head. -"Better do yourself a brain test, Captain, as in deep space hurts like you are claiming are serious."- Said the Chief of sick-bay, E. Macoyed. -"No, thanks you...guess it s the tension." -Answered Lee Yang, taking the pill the other puts in his hand, and then drinks something blue, in a glass. -"With that you will be sound again, Captain."- Said another Electromachine, this one called E. Buntglass, as scribbled in a card attached to its dress. -"Hope so. "- Said the captain, going out of there. He walks to the Engine Room, finding Sarmenia Dulcoria revising some charts. -"How it s everything around here, Engineer?" -"Fine , Captain. Some minor systems burned out, but I gave orders to be replaced.Want a relaxation, yourself?"- ASked Sarmenia, looking at him. -"I ll be delighted."- Said he. -"I know you will."- Smiled her. They went to a little chamber , full of machines to exercice the body. They use the fast-pacer, the sweating machine, and then they gave themselves a long shower. After, they put some new uniforms, and went to the main deck, seeing that AStrogator Lorba Deyatna was nowere in sight; but three Electromen were in position, to serve mechanism in case of a failure. -I guess she went to sleep; I saw her very nervous, with the steering of the ship."- Appointed Sarmenia, seating in front of the main screen. -"Yes, she has 2 other flights in her affidavit and no more ! A pidgeon."- Smiled the Captain. They get busy revising the systems; also scanning the near space , in search of possible debris, as also in deep space some debris can be found , if not the regular occurrence. Three hours later, the Captain went to her quarters, and he get some sleep.The 48 original hours were just 44 now. When he awoke, he felt there was something queer in the gravity; he sensed a diminished quality. He went to the main deck, finding two E. guys in charge. He went to the gravity device, and the dials shows a 0.89 percent of gravity. -Why the difference, E.Larsenio ? " The electroman replied:- Engineer Sarmenia Dulcoria changes it, Sir." The eyeballs of the electroman were dull red. Lee Yang Fo went to see Sarmenia at the engine room, but there he was told the lady was in her rooms. Opening the door , Lee Yang went inside her quarters; the Engineer was sleeping soundly. He awoke her, gently. - Oh, it was you , Captain! What it is that you want ? -The difference in gravity, Engineer, it is a matter you don t have in your attributions, lady Sarmenia " -Sorry, Captain. I am accustomed to sleep in a diminished gravity. Medical orders. I can show you the papers."- She said, sitting in her bed. She was very beautiful, with black hair and a pair of big eyes to match. -Well, if it s a matter of health, I can understand, but you should let me know of this changes before you do it. "- The captain Lee Yang said, feeling a little uneasy at the lady s bedroom. -Thanks you, Captain." - Said Sarmenia, looking him at the eye. He went out of there in a hurry. In the corridors, some Electromen were carrying wires im several boxes. He asked for what purpouse they were doing that, and the reply was the wires were brand new, made by the E. Welder, who needs it to replace some burned parts, in the engine room. He was called, by the intercom, to the main deck. He arrives there, to see Lorba Deyatna pointing at a screen, saying:"- The radar spots an object there, Sir ! Three hundred meters long, and thirty wide. Could be a starship." Lee Yang observed the positions; they were going to pass the object to the right, some five hundred meters away. He recollected memories: when in this cases, the captain of the sound craft was obligued to stop and see what was wrong in the other ship, rescue people if they were, and made a report. -Have you tried to communicate with the object, Astrogator? -I am doing now, Sir. No response, until now." -Keep trying, " Three minutes elapsed, he ordered to stop. He calls a team of Electromen to use a scout vessel (Four men capacity) and made a recognization of the silent ship. The "Francine Lorena" was in a level position with the unknown vessel; but the sizes were different: the other vessel was five hundred meters long, twenty meters wide, but three hundred meters were of a mere tail, ending in the thrusters , at the back of the ship. The scout ship landed in the black hull, and the E'men were bussy trying to find a way of entrance: they find an oppening, and they went inside. By radio, he heard step by step what they were seeing: long corridors, engine room, crew quarters. But the big find was at the main deck: eight corpses, in different positions, were there, death at least a hundred years ago. -Are they humans , Scouts?" -Nay,Sir ! They are long dead by now." - Was the reply. -We should go and see by ourselves, Sir"- Sarmenia Dulcoria said, as she was eager to see the other vessel s engines. The Captain asks the other scout ship, and went there with Sarmenia and four other Electromen, armed with rayguns. Lee Yang saw the strange pattern of everything in the other vessel; not a door or a corridor was like any one he saw in the past. Also, the main deck looks more than a corridor than a normal control chamber. The seat were occupied by deceased bodies, and they were not humans; they look like evolved saurids, with bulging eyes, three digit hands, feets with three long and fat fingers, all blackened by the years. They measured, at least, some three meters tall. -Take one body and carry to a freezer in the "Francine Lorena"' - The captain asks of his retinue. They did it in the second scout ship. Sarmenia was already in the engine room, guided by the Electromen. She find the principles totally different to what she was taught at the University. She looks on consoles and several main frames, but she learns just little thing of it all. -What do you think of this engines?"- The captain asks. -Never see the like of this machines, Sir. Wish we could stop here for a couple more days, to see if I can figure out the way in which this thing works."- Sarmenia Dulcoria said. -We have our schedule. But I can gave you the hours we must wait to replenish the charge of our systems. "- Lee Yang said. -Not too much, but I will try to do my best, Sir! Who knows, perhaps we can copyright this systems, and make ourselves rich!" - Said she, smiling broadly. The captain looks into her eyes, and he felt her heart going to melt. Too many days in deep space are a good way to involve hearts in love affairs... With some effort, he restrained the desire to take that woman in his arms and kiss her for a long time, so he went to the "Francine Lorena" in the scout ship. He sends one scout ship to the strange vessel, together with 12 Electromen, to aid the engineer in her quest against odds and time... The hours run fast, and suddenly it was due the time gaved to the Engineer. -Time to go."- He said by the radio. In the alien vessel, Sarmenia said:- "My work here it s almost done, Captain! I am blueprinting every system here, and I can assure you, Sir, the engines are totally diferent to ours! Guess they can gave almost 90 percent more thrust than ours, and the Hyper Drive it s the finest thing ever !" Lee Yang Fo smiled, understanding the excitement of the engineer, when seeing new things in her field of action......He said her to get hurry, and he lean on his seat. -Are we going to be here for more days, Captain?"- Lorba Deyatna asked. -I guess just some more hours, Astrogator. Nothing to worry about."- He replied. Sarmenia was working at the Unknown vessel, and some E.Men were also trying to explore the entire ship, revising chambers. They find a lot of strange machines, the object of them a puzzle for all. Ten hours after, Lee Yang went to the alien ship, to see what was retaining soo long his Engineer. He found her still blue printing. -It is taking too long, Engineer. We must jump to Holoturia planet right away." -But , Captain! You have here some thousands new inventions! Think how they will worth in Mars! "- Sarmenia Dulcoria replied. Lee Yang said:--No more nonsese ! You go to the ship now !"� So the female went to the "Francine Lorena" with whatever copies she already have. Two hours elapsed, the F.L. went to Holoturia environs, with a swift flight through the Hyperspace..... Chapter Deux. Strangers when we meet. Holoturia planet, third from Alpha Auriga Star, was there, in front of them; Captain Lee Yang Foo was in contact with the Main Orbiter Station , and after identified the ship and crew, attached the ship to the Station, who has eight other bay ports available, and three other ships already connected. The Electromen went busy, carrying to the Station every item they carried from Mars; some officials from the Station were counting cratters. Lee Yang Foo went to the astrotelegraph office, and send a message to Mars, saying all the goods were already delivered. They told him that some clerck were flying already to the Orbital Station, to whom he should be obedient in all his commands. As the shuttles were a common thing there, he just waited at the General Casino, seeing the last news from Holoturia: a general government was trying to organize a whole planet, with the machines at hand; no more than seven million people were there , not counting the Electromen, who were serving them. Sarmenia Dulcoria send the blue prints to Mars, using the astrotelegraph, where a cousin of her, another Engineer, will be trying to sell the inventions she find at the alien ship. Lee Yang returns to his ship, and saw Lorba Deyatna at the main deck. -All ready to receive the cargo, Captain?"- ASked she. -Some agent from the Company will be arriving any time now. I will be receiving orders from him."- Lee Yang Foo said, bitterly. It was no joke ,to him, to be receiving orders when he was the appointed captain! After some more minutes, they received a call from the Station Manager office, saying a B. Dieter Berlin was asking for the captain of the F.L. Lee Yang travelled through the tunnel to the .I.P. reception room; there he saw a young female, using long dress. -Are you Captain Lee Yang Fo? - Asked she, with a sing-song voice. -Yes, milady. And you are...? -Beatrice Dieter Berlin, manager of the Company, here in Holoturia. I was informed you delivered all the cargo in this Station."- Said she, with sparkling blue eyes. -Yes, Milady Beatrice. They will send it to the main land ,using the cargo shuttles, as ussually."- Lee Yang said. -"Good. Now, you are going to receive the ore and mineral cargo as you were told in Mars. But also, some passengers and myself, as the new Manager arrives to Holoturia a week ago."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. -All right by me, Milady Beatrice. "- Lee Yang replied. -Some of your Electromen will be send to the main land, too. " -How many? "- Lee Yang gets worried, as with less than 10 E-men the vessel became a hard ship to command. -Eight of them, Captain. They will be send to a new office they had set out in the South Pole."- Beatrice said, with a sad smile... Three weeks it tooks to put all the ore in the F.L. , and then the passengers came from Holoturia. They were eight of them, six men and two women. They all looks young and hard looking, and Lee Yang gaves them locations on board, next to the engine s room. room. -We are ready to go, Lady Beatrice.-- Said Lee Yang Fo. -"Don t waste your time for me here, Captain! You are free to go."- She smiled. Lee Yang told Lorba Deyatna to depart,and the big cargo vessel beguin to speed up, in order to abandon the stationary orbit ; half an hour later, it was going at full speed. -Twenty minutes to the first jump, Sir."- Lorba Deyatna said. -O.K., Astrogator. You can stand from your seats, people ! In twenty minutes more an alarm will indicate you to seat and fasten your seat belts.""- Anounced the Captain. Beatrice Dieter Berlin (Beatrice Dieter Berlin) went to the rear compartments, seeing the passengers were O.K. -A little crampled, here !- Said Marcelo Mouline, stretching his big arms. He was a handsome guy, with a long beard, blond hair, and dressed like a Marine Corps. -It is a cargo ship, Mister Marcelo; a little patience, this trip will take just a little while no -more!"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, smiling patiently. -And the heat! Too much heat here, Lady Manager!"- A brown skinned woman said, looking kind of bored.She was Miss Leontine Barrueda, a latin woman who has great skill with arms. In fact, she was using a big pistol at her waist- belt, seemingly a Xray-plus photon thrower... -"It s the same temperature that in the rest of the ship! But I will tell the captain to set the temperature a little lower."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, repressing a sigh. -"You do it ! That little chinese must be chilly all day; he has no fat at all!"- Said another "visit", a fat bald man, in his fifties. It was Mr. Alfredonius, a tourist with politic connections; not in another way he receives the permission to be in Holoturia for a year, studying the fossil s layer. -"We must not show resentment to other races, Mr. Alfredonius! A bad taste, your commentary."- She said, enraged. -"Don t take it so personally,Milady ! It was just a little joke."- Alf said. -"I am not fond of jokes, Mister! Well, I see you are in good shape, here."- She said, going to her quarters. She slammed the door of her chamber, and seats in front of the Personal Communicator. She was sure the "joke " was not so, and that Mr. Alfredonius was a racist s.o.b. ! She swallow a strong pill, and fastening herself to the matress, she went asleep... After the aforementioned twenty minutes, an officer went to see her at her dormitory, as she presented herself not in the main deck, as she was entitled. The officer, seeing she was well strapped, went to the main deck, telling so. -"O.K., she prefers to sleep. REady to the hyper jump, crew members and passengers ! At the count of ten...seven, eight, nine, Ten!"- The Captain said. The guns throws the antimatter in front of the machine, and so the Black Hole was produced; it swallowed the "Francine Lorena" in no time, and then they were in the Hyperspace !! Lorba Deyatna was with her eyes glued to the indicator, in front of her. When the dial arrives to the correct number, she relent the motors, and the ship began to return to the normal Space and Time.....The stars were suddenly visible, and the sounds of release were produced by all living beings in the ship...... -Close to the Solar System as predicted!"- Said with a triumphal voice the Astrogator. Her hands were sweating..... From Pluto they asked to identified themselves; Lorba Deyatna puts the recorded identificator in the air, and so the Military Station in Pluto gaves the authorization to get in the Solar System...... At full speed, in two days they were crossing Jupiter s orbit, and in half another day, they were busy correcting orbits, to leave the FL in orbit round the fourth planet of the Solar System: Mars, the God of War......! Lere Yang Foo invited all members of the crew and passengers to take a last drink of farewell, as it was a tradition among Cargo vessels with tourist on board.... They all drink heavily, except Lorba Deyatna, who was controlling the vessel. Leontine Barrueda gaves the CAptain a hug, saying: "- At least you were a very good Captain; you lowered the temperature, and also leaves us to roam through your bout at will ! Not so many captains are like this, nowadays!" -Thanks you, beautiful lady. It was my obligation , as Captain , to see my crew members and passengers has a great time on board. "- Lee Yang Fo said. -"I want to tell you a little problem I have now. But we must be in prived."- The women said, touching his big pistol. Lee Yang Fo was troubled by that , so he takes the lady to his quarters. There, she said: "I had never had a oriental guy ! This is the time to see how they taste!" And pointing the gun to the CAptain, she commands him to get naked; then she went on kissing the guy, until she could seat on him as she wished. After several minutes, she leaves the Captain s cabin, and went to the main deck, where they were already seeing Earth s principal Orbital Station in front of them. Lorba Deyatna ,with dexterity, puts the nose of the FL inside the hole number 8, where they fastened it . -Ready to disembark, Captain!"- She said, by the intercom. A feebly voice answered:"- Take the command, Astrogator, and send the people to the Station! I will be there some minutes more!" Leontine Barrueda gaves a laugh, but she didn t said a word. Marcelo Mouline looked at her in the eye, saying:" You little devil you!" She smiled, blushing a little... Some officers attached a pneumatic corridor to the Station, so they went there without putting the spacial uniform. Two Electromen went too, to fill the necessary documentation, pure routine. Beatrice called to the Main office of the Company in USA., to see she was transfered to Massashusetts, as she asked beforehand... They send her orders to revise all the deloading cargo of ore from the ship FL to the spatial shuttles; she said that was the CAptain s work, but she was told again to be there until the cargo bay of the FL was empty of all ore . -"O.K.! All this becouse I am leaving the Company , I know it !" She said, banging the microphone on the hook.... Two days she was there, seeing how the Captain made all the works in time; then she saw the emptied cargo bays , and went to Earth in the next shuttle ship. First time in New York, she loose herself the minute she decided to arrive to the Company s Super Tower by her own, using the pneumatic locomotion. She accepted she was a bad tracker, after some three hours changing of vehicles, so she hires a taxi , who carried her in five minutes (and 90 Credits payment) to the Chinese Consortium s building... There she asked to be in the presence of the General Manager, Mr. Bwoto Wangsom, who lets her see her an hour after she arrives. -Come on, come on! "- The Secretary hurried her, when the time was due.- "�Mr. Wangsom is a very busy man!" -Me too."- She said, enraged to be waiting there for a full solid hour! Mr. Bwoto Wangsom was a negro man, with slitted eyes...perhaps a mix between the two races. He looks her, from beyong his big black impressive desk, not uttering a word. So Beatrice said: -"Mr. Wangsom, I came from Mars, where I was the Manager of the company there. I want you to authorice my payments in full, taking as worked the time I was travelling home, from Mars, as that was one of many points scribbled in my Contract." -"Mr. Dweedlydee ! To my office, please.!"-Said the negro-chinese, by some gadget in his bench. MR. Dweedlydee was probably spying in a next-door office, as he shoots on the office, with a icy smile, saying:"- You tell me, Mr. General Manager." -"See that this lady receives all her due payments ; she was manager of the Company, in Mars. "- Said the black man, giving a handshake to Beatrice, crounching her fingers not to forget off ... -Thanks...you are a strong gentle type !" - She said, enraged with the pain. -"And you a beautiful lady...mind if I call you to have dinner to-night? I am a lonesome Manager."- The negro said, smiling to her with tobacco-tinted teeth. -"Yes, General Manager! I can wait you in the main hall."- She said, laughing. -"Do not laugh, beautiful lady ! I will be there waiting you, at nine!"- The negro said, smiling with half closed eyes... She felt a shill, and went after Mr. Dweedlydee... He has a big desk too, but instead of a solitary visophone, he had a real Everest of diskettes, papers and wires on top of it ! He fumbled with the P.C., asking her full name , dates and times of her passed founctions. She smiled, passing him a diskette fully replenished with her own data,as he was told this were to happen. -Clever girl ! This ecconomize you a lot of trouble ! Also, perhaps we can pay you to-day!" - Mr. Dweedlydee said, working with the apparatus in a very fast way. Twenty hours later, the payment was deposited in her account; it was ten in the morning.... -"Guess I will go renting a flat.- Said she -"Do as you wish, madame! Good day to you!"- Mr. Dweedlydee said, smiling icily... She went to the street, hail a taxi, and said:"- Leads me to a fine Hotel, not too expensive, but not so cheap I must made my own bed!" -"Okiedokie, Milady! You from Nowhere?"- Asked the driver, meaning Outer Space. -"Yes, from Mars. I was manager of a mine field there."- She said, eyeeing the streets, the crowds, the movement of a hundred vehicles in unison. -"Oh, yes ! Must be quite a sight, those planets over my head. Pity I cannon go myself there; too old to do so."- The taxi driver said, and she looks him more closely...the guy seems to be two hundred years ! -Yes, Miss ! I was one of the first mates who takes the "Livelonger", back in the year 2000! I had three companies and a mine field, but I sell it all in exchange of the drug! So now here I am, in year 2300, fine a as young fella !" -And the driver laugh proudly. -"Guess I will never take that drug myself ! I am 34 years old, and I had seen half I expected to see in this life. "- Beatrice said, with sparkling blue eyes. -That s a common experience, lady ! But wait until you have forty! Then you will ask for more."- The driver said, and stopping the car, signaled a building with a finger, adding:"- There it is ! The " Ralph M. Farley" Hotel! Best in town!" She descended of the cab, and paying the fare, looked at the Hotel...It was a big one, more than 3.000 stories high. A torched guy in uniform saluted her, taking her suitcases. -"This way, Madame."- He said, and walked stiffly in front of her. -Wow, this seems expensive."- Beatrice told the driver. -"Oh, no , Miss! This is the usual show my nephew did when seeing I carry him some tourist! Bye!"- And the driver zoomed out. She smiled, and get inside the big parlor room; at the desk, the Manager, a man in his sixties, handled her a big old tattered copy-book, saying:"- Good day, Madame...or should I say Mademoiselle?" -The last name it s the apropiated one! But tell me , first, how much you charge for a day in this Hotel?" -A day in this Hotel, Mademoiselle, it will cost you as much as you wish! We have a democratic kind of fare , here! " -How come?" -If you want a suite, Mademoiselle, it will cost you double than a single room; and if you want all your meals served at your room, or perhaps no meals at all, so depends." -"I see. A single room, with PC and gadgets, but no meals whatsoever. You tell me." -"Twelve credits a day, beguining at the hour you sign the contract, Mademoiselle." -"I stay! Please, I also want the room with a big window ."- -"With a big window, to see the landscape. Very well.Sign here. How many days you pretend to stay, Mademoiselle?" -"Just ten days, to see the city. "- -"It will be all in advance; have you credit card?" -"What a question! Of course I have one!"- She smiled, as cash was almost inexistent . So she sign, payed, and went after the torched one, 390th. floor, and in the middle of a corridor, under the number 39025 was her room. It has a little hall, a bedroom with Visophone and wall holoscreen, a bathroom in white, and a window , with the curtains on. -"This is your department, Mademoiselle. Have a good stay."- Said the torched man, leaving the suitcases on the floor. -"Thanks you."- Said she, handling her a couple of coins. The man gaves her a electronic key, saying:"- This will open your door. In case you loose it, the cost it s 39 credits, and a copy will be gave to you. Have a nice day." The man went out, shutting the door. She leaps to the window, opened it, and the sun rays went inside the room, heating it in no time. -"What a sun!"- She said, searching for the air conditioner. In minutes, the mechanism leaves the temperature in 19 C ; she sighed and went to the bath- room, taking a cold shower. After that, she beguine to wonder what will be of her life in New York... At nine o`clock, she was standing at the door of the Chinese Consortium s building... The General Manager, Mr. Bwoto Wangsom , appeared in the hall, and with a glimpse he saw her, walking briskly to where she stands. -Beatiful lady! You did come !" -I try to fullfill my word, everytime. How are you ?"- -Just fine; but let s go to some quieter place; here the din it s too much for my nerves." Beatrice Dieter Berlin smiled, enchanting the negro man, who was festering his bulging eyes in such a gorgeous woman... In a taxi, they went to a fine Bar, some 29 blocks away. It was the "Residential Bar", and a guard at the door shun the entrance to any one without the proper identification; a punched plastic card (cost 2.000 credits) that only the members could have. Inside, there were three levels, and General Manager, Mr. Bwoto Wangsom, choose the Romantic Corner, so named as the air was scented, the lights were pink and the music were the kind the deceased Frank Sinatra sings.... They seat at a table, close to a fountain, and they began talking about themselves; first the negro said he was forty years old, single, and with the swimming as his favorite sport. He didn t mention his work. So Beatrice said:-"My sport it s to climb hills, preferible with snow. I like the thin air, the pureness ,clean sight the snow have in those regions. In planet Holoturia that was my only sport."- -"Oh, the white snow! Yes, I like the sight but not the effects of snow.As you can imagine, we negro men dislikes snow as our bodies cannot stand too much cold. "- He said, taking her hand. -"You run fast."- Beatrice said, leaving her hand there. -"I always run fast and win the race! - Laughed the negro, banging the table with his other hand. A waiter came and delivered them some coctails... -I ordered nothing! And you?"- Beatrice said, half enraged with the situation. -Pardon me, my lady! But they have orders from me that any time I came here with a beautiful lady, this is the thing to serves us. -And you came here very often?"- Beatrice said, with heat. -First time in a year, milady."- Lied he, sipping his glass..... She probes the liquor; a good stuff...She drinks a lot more, and after an hour there, she hardly understand what General Manager, Mr. Bwoto Wangsom was telling her. -I ll prefer to go somewhere else, if you don t mind!"- Beatrice said, half drunk. That was the battle cry General Manager, Mr. Bwoto Wangsom, WAS expecting... -"We will leave at once, beautiful lady!"- Said he. In another taxi , this time called by the Club attendant, they fly over the roofs of New York, and landed in a big tower, at the north of the city; General Manager, Mr. Bwoto Wangsom payed the guy and helps the almost stumbling lady to his bed; she fainted there so he could undress her and have a good time with her body, exhausting all his strength there. After that, he went to the bath room, and takes a shower. When he returns to the bed, she was sleeping soundly. -Another feast for me!"- He said, as he was reinvigorated himself at the sight of that superb woman in his bachelor s bed... This time he get asleep, totally exhausted..... Four hours elapsed,Beatrice Dieter Berlin awoke, and seeing she was all wet, with the negro snorting at her side, she imagined well what was happening there in the past hours... -Black beast! This guy leave my vagine totally wet! I ll show him what s it s to rape me !"- She said, enraged. She find the kitchen, and from there she takes a big slicing knife; she returns to bed, and sliced his penis ! The guy gaves a jump, and seeing her with the blooded knife, tried to take the weapon, but she sinks the blade into his heart, saying:" -Fuck you!" And so he died, leaving the bed and stumbling (for ever) to the floor. -Well, that s that !" She said, trembling all over. She takes a shower, dressed herself again, and revising all the apartment, she finds more than a million credits in cash, specially in some jars the guy had in a shelf. -Guess this is not clean money, or else he would have deposited it in a Bank... "- Beatrice said. She went outside; it was dark and so she walks until a taxi car passed her way. She ordered him to go near her Hotel, and walks the remining distance. She went to her bed, and get the rest of the sleep she was needing...... In the morning news they were informing about the slash of the negro at his apartment; they thought it was some jealous lady.... Just for the sake of mind, she leaves the hotel and fly to Miami, where she went to some doctor, telling him about the rape and how she was needing to have a treatment, both physically and mentally. She was sended to a clinic in the outskirts of the city; there she saw patients that was more healthy than the ones walking the streets...people that with money gets her "mind and body cleansings" , taking pills, sleeping in accord to health standards; no TV, no radio no telephone alowed.... In fifteen day there, Beatrice Dieter Berlin was recuperated; her vagina was operated and it was now as a fifteen years old s....Her eyes were sparkling. -You can go now, Miss Beatrice Dieter Berlin..."- The Director said. -Thanks you very much; this days here seems to me a healthy vacation."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. -Glad to hear that, as we always are trying to gave our patients the best we can afford."- The Director said, smiling. She went in a taxi to the airport; she was willing to spend all the money she had earned in space, and also the dug she obtained from the negro s affair... She was looking the adds at a stand, when a voice near her told:"- Looking for a nice cozy place to lay on, Miss Beatrice Dieter Berlin?" She looks in haste; no need to be worry: it was Lorba Deyatna, from the "Francine Lorena " cargo vessel... -Oh, what a nice surprise! Are you traveling, also?"- -"Yes, to Hawaii. I get some job there, not my speciallization, but what the heck, I need a vacation!"- Lorba Deyatna laughed, looking at her with glad eyes... -"I want a vacation, also. I was in a...Hotel, and I get bored of this big cities. Guess Hawaii could be a nice destination."- -"Superb! I am travelling with some old friends, and companions...you know them: Lee Yang and Sarmenia, who leaves the freights just now." -You mean, they are no longer in the "Francine Lorena"?"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin was amazed. -Yes, they were having nightmares too often...the hipnosleeps, you know.The space could eat one s nerves, anyway..."- She told , looking to the entrance. -I guess I will travel with you. Lead me where I can find tickets for your plane."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, as she was asfixiating in that place ,surrounded of too many yelling people... Lorba guided her; she bought a place in the same airplane, and then it was all the rigmarole of the suitcases, and she was busy until she was called to aboard the ship. This was a streamlined one, who departs with exact timing. ... Beatrice talks ,briefly, with Lee Yang and Sarmenia, aboard the plane, when she saw them seated in their places. -Not as fast as your ship, Captain."- She joked. -Nice to see you, Miss Beatrice. You going with us?"- The oriental asked. -"Yes, I met Lorba in the lobby...she insisted , and I was persuaded."- -You will not be regreated,lady! Hawaii it s superb, in this time of year." Said Sarmenia, smiling. In one and a half hours they were in Hawaii; the sea from the air was quite a sight. The scent of flowers were strong, when they descended; some girls puts guirlands around everybody s necks, and they were all smiles..... -We take a pair of taxis, now. Too many suitcases."-Lee said. Both cars speed to the rich part of the city, where Lee had a home. -This is my home; mi casa es su casa."- Lee Yang Foo said, when descending of the taxi ... -Glad to hear that; I have quite a thirst! - Lorba said, laughing aloud. People from the house came to take the suitcases; they were the 9 maids and servants Lee had there. The house had 19 rooms, and a swimming pool, surrounded by a lawn and some trees; a high wall shunned the sight to the near by street. Isolated there, in a kind of luxury hotel, they spent the day swimming and sipping Pina Coladas until the night. Then, Lee Yan said:" - As this is our first night in town, aloud me to invite you all to a Luau! " They all accepted , and travelling in a big car, with driver included, they arrive to a exclusive place, where they were having a Luau...Nice hawaiians girls, some males, and a swarm of other guests were also there, but all they do was accompanied with a warm smile, so the place was a good to be in. They danced, after a Hawaiian Battle Dance, and the hours were mounting, until Lee Yang Fo said:"- Time to go to bed, ladies ! To-morrow it s another day!" They all went to the waiting car; in half an hour they were all again at Lee s home... Beatrice takes a shower, and not molesting herself putting a nigh gown, she get asleep ,naked , over her bed... Lee Yan saw the beauty of her body, through a tiny TV camera, nailed to the ceiling...He recorded some minutes that woman s body, and then he went to bed. In the next morning, Beatrice Dieter Berlin chooses to see the town by herself; Lee lended her a little car, so she went in an easy way, looking the greenery, the clean roads, the beachs with white sand and amber waters...Of course she saw the big skyscrappers, the world of the rich people : big resorts, nice costly cars, tourists from all over the worlds! She descended and bathed in a public beach;full of people, some thousand kids running and playing hand-ball, youngsters drinking beer ; the waves were swarmed with surfists! A melody was heard all over the beach; the tunes in fashion were being promotionated! Near the street, hundreds of body-fitness fans were working in several tables, attached to mechanical machines. After the bath, she worked her way to the car; the radio was missing, and one of the door-locks were busted. She asks where to find a garage, and finding it, she ask for a new radio,and the fix of the lock. -"Two hours, lady. You came in our lunch time!"- The attendant said, a fat greasy native. -"O.K., but get hurry."- She said, going for a walk. The street in the back of the beach were very packed with people; each several meters a guy asked her about a drink, a promenade, or passed her personal cards with telephone numbers...She resembles the typical tourists, full of energy and money, and no boy-friend... She enters a drugstore, and ask for a beverage. She was looking at the people parading by the street, when a mature man seats near her, saying:"- Hey, babe, want a ride?" She looks at him, and the face was familiar. She keeps on looking, and the guy said:"- What are you looking, girl? Never been near Captain Kirk?" She was amazed ! The mytical Captain of the Enterprise, in a bar, here in Hawaii! She was very excited, and said:"- You! It cannot be!" -"But it is, babe! It s me, old Cap n Kirk! Well, what do you say, you coming or not?" -I will, but first tell me what kind of ride you are offering me?"-She said, still amazed. -"The usual; don t think more of it; just let it be!" They went out, and Cap n Kirk guided her to a tattered car, and climbing in, she felt the smell of cat s urine! -"Sorry about "Miss Temperamental"! I fix it just to-day, after a time at the sea port warehouse! "- Kirk said. The car started with a bang, and a black smoke leaves a guy blackened from head to toe! -Ha ,ha ! Miss Temperamental" it s in good mood ,this afternoon! Grip on something, babe! We are going to get a raid!" Kirk was driving like a madman; he didn t stop at the red lights, and just for pure luck he was not colliding against the other cars... The car takes a road, and suddenly they were riding (fast) almost alone. -So this is your hidden place? I thought you were dead, so long ago!"- She said. -Not me, babe! I drink the "Livelonger" myself! I can leave a bunch of years, not...in fact, I had survived all my fellowmates...The good side of this it s I can collect my checks from the Fed s ! And each year increases the amount, so now I can say I am a rich person...Well, here we go!"- Kirk said, turning in a side -road; this one was not paved, and the car leaves a big cloud of dirt after him. Fifteen kilometers of bad row , and then he said:"We are arriving to my cottage, babe!" He stops in front of a wooden gate; he opened the lock, and drive in; he descended, put the lock by the inside, and drive again, but this time just fifty meters; a house, near a big tree, was his goal. He descended, saying:"- This is my cottage." The house looks great, with big squared windows, several entrances; a guy and a woman of certain age came to receive him, saluting him with glad eyes. -"This is Maria, my house keeper, and Juanito, the helping hand. Well, Maria, we are thirsty; serves us some beverages."- He said. -"Come inside , seat at the dining table: I will serve you some Granadine and also tea, if you like."- Said she, smiling. Beatrice was delighted; all the furniture seems to be new, and floor and ceiling was of wood; the windows show a little lake, some bridges made of little logs, green grass and what appears to be lemon trees. -You have a nice place, here. "- She said. -"I did it with my own hands! It was a swamp; nobody likes this, but I drained it and make some beautiful corners here and there...I have some warehouses, hidden with the trees, and I can work there when I like. "- He said, drinking the cold beverage. Beatrice was enchanted. -"Told me about your friends, Mr. Spock, Uhura, Doctor McCoy, Chekov, Engineer Scotty..."- -"Oh, dead people, all of them! Mr.Spock, who they say they live a lot of years, could be alive, but never hear of him, in this last ten years. Perhaps he is doing some works for his mother planet, Vulcan."- Kirk said. -"How bad we must die! But at least you are alive. What are your plans for your future?"- -"My future arrives some two hundred years ago; you know, it s funny to live this long lives ! You loose the necesity, when your income it s great or at least certain... I had some nice adventures, in the times of the Enterprise", and also when Piccard went to save me from my life in the Nexus. But after the accident, you know,they leave me for a dead person." -"Yes, I heard that. But then, you were revived by the famous doctor Picaro." -Doc Picaro! Must be alive and kicking somewhere! He applied me his famous drug, the Livelonger". Guess the drug revives people, too..."- He said. -"Pity the drug cost enormously! Not anyone can buy it."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. -"Oh, well, the poor need not to live longer than their sorrows! I remember the doctor saying the only constant thing here it s death, and that nothing matters, in reality. We are all going to die, no matter when. "-Kirk remembered. -I read the papers Captain Piccard published, so long ago."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. Maria came in , saying:"- The tea is ready. Want some?" -Yes, bring the tea ."- Kirk replied. The tea tray was carried by Juanito, who was smiling constantly; he was young, powerfuly muscled, and with a inteligent face. Maria serves the tea, and they eat some biscuits, also. Maria didn t leave the room, telling everything about the farm ; Juanito was the manager, but she, as his mother, was his tongue.... After the informations and the tea, she leaves the room, saying:"- I have a wonderful duck for to-night ! Don t you leave the farm ,now!" Kirk looked at Beatrice Dieter Berlin, and she said:"- I will stay." -Good girl."- He said, smiling heartily. Kirk asked a couple of horses, and soon they were riding along the internal road; the plantations of durazno trees were visible ; several hundred meters full of the trees ; she eats a couple of them; it was the kind they canned to export; also there were some almendros along the road. Then they arrive to a place where a big pool was made using two creeks; they swim there, and rest on a sandy platform, near the waters. The excess of liquid went by two holes, making an agreable noise. The sides of the creek so formed was flanked by a big forest... -You must have used a lot of money, here."- She said. -I think not of money, when I want peace and harmony. "- Kirk said, taking her hand. He kissed her. Beatrice Dieter Berlin feels an electric current going all over her body; she was spellbound; never she felt like this! -I think I can get involved with you, babe. You are a very special woman."- Kirk said, kissing her again. Suddenly, all what she wants was his body; so she urged the man, who accomplished what it s ussually called "making love"- . She was doing it , and thought it was delicious...More than an hour of that, and she came with all the delights ! -"Wow!"- Kirk said, after a while, and run to the water, swimming to the other side of the pool. She went there , also, to clean her body. They met in the center of the pool, and she kissed his lips. -Never this place was so beautiful as now...with you."- Kirk murmured. They swimm a little more; then they return home, as it was getting dark. The house was alighted with electric lamps. -"I have a power house ! In this places the Company has not erected the necesary post ! Well, let s see the news!" They seat in front of a big TV Holo screen, and they saw all the national news; the ecconomy was in a climbing wave, due to the importation- exportation they were having with so many colonies in space: they payed whatever the price, and the colonization was in full thrust. It was year 2300! -Guess this it s had been a large day. I am going to hit the sack!"-Kirk said. -Me too!"- Beatrice said, gaving a yawn. She takes a bath, and then she gets in bed.Kirk appeared in the threshold of her room, saying:"- I am going to bed, now. Anything you want ,now?" -No, thanks you."- She said, flushing. He went to bed, smiling. The girl was very sweet! At midnight Beatrice heard a thunder, and then another. She looks by the window and it was raining heavily! She run to Kirk`s room, and slipped between the sheets. She lay there ,and heard the man snoring. She smiled, and went to sleep... In the morning she felt something crawling inside of her; she opened the eyes and saw Kirk, who kissed her . She takes what was been offered, and jumped until the man went limp; then she satisfied her needs, with strong movements, that made her perspire. Then she jump to the bathroom, saying:"The end." Kirk laughed ,uneasy, from the bed. She takes a shower, and went to the bed; but Kirk was out of the room already. -Coward !"- She laughed, and dressed hastily; she run out, and banged Maria who was carrying the tea tray; all went to the ceiling and back to the floor; Maria gaves a yell. -Oh, what it s this !" -Pardon, Maria!"-She said, and run out of the house. As she figured , Kirk s car was racing away... She takes a horse, and galopped into town; there she searched for the car, but to not avail. She rested in a Park, and her horse was arousing a small crowd, as the animal was beautiful; she came back to Kirk`s house, and there she waits until late for him to return. He called late, saying he was busy ,but that she can stay there by the night. -"I am living at your expenses, Kirk. I want to be of use. Gave me some task to perform."- Beatrice said. -You already have one."- Kirk laughed, and hang on. She was enraged; she felt now as a whore! Kirk arrives at ten o clock in the morning. She told him all what she was thinking, and when finished, he said:"- Sorry you felt that way, babe. But I have good news for you: one of my friends it s opening a Touring Office, and she gaves me an employment. Guess you could get in the operation, as you are good looking !"- -"And what that means?"-She asked, quarrelsome. -"That you can jump in ! It s a tour to Marmalone 43, in the Constellation of the Bird. The planet 5 have some interesting fauna, and the guys who are renting the trip are some big brass from a Japanese Corporation. Two months there, and we came back." -What? Two months in a far -off planet...with you?"- Beatrice asked, incredulous. -"Yes! Don t you think it s fabulous?"- Kirk asked, kissing her in the cheek. -"Ea! Stop that! If I want there, I tell you right here it will be just in working terms that I will be understanding with you! "- Beatrice said. -"O.K.by me, babe! So, you are in ?" -It could be, depending of the payment I could be receiving."- She said. -"Thirty grands, babe!" -"Then it s a done deal!"- She said, smiling. Kirk made a few calls, and then he said:"- To-morrow we must be at the 34th. Gate, in the Interplanetary Fields !" She was thinking in the money...with that kind of amount, she could be living as a duchess for a year! Kirk carried her to the cellar, where he show her a lot of guns, space suits and special gadgets to be in space; also he teach her how to use some guns, and what to do in case the spacial suit gets in troubles. -"Things you probably never use, but you never now !"- Kirk said. At 23.00 hours, she was sleepy, and Kirk carried her to her room. She embrace him, saying:"Sorry, lover, but not to-night.!" -I understand."- He said, smiling. She went to bed, and get soundly asleep; Kirk went to the phone and said:-The babe it s ready, Captain Morngon. You can send your people right away!" -On my way."- Captain Morngon replied, hanging the phone. In five minutes, a team of five negro men arrived , and taking the fainting woman, carried her to the shuttle-ship. -This female is a good one."- Sheinko said, smiling with his one eye left. -"A good one, Perhaps we will be rewarded a little more, in Marmalone 43!" -The other man said, scratching his leg... Captain Morngon told skeeper Oneger to start engines and take off . -Aye aye, Sir!"- Oneger said, and in a few minutes, the "Orragan" set curse to the Bird Constellation, 390 light years from Earth... -Jump in a day, Sir!" -Skip that ! Jump right away!"- Morngon yelled, banging the arm of his seat. He was sure that, for the time he set foot again in the S.S., things like this would be forgotten long ago. The Black Hole (produced) last a milisecond, but it was enough for the "Orragan" to jump just right in, swallowed by the Real Universe...and spit out some minutes later, in another section of this Universe..... -Close to Minvi Constellation, Sir! "- Oneger told the captain. -AT ease, fellows! Two days recharging, and we will jump again. Ronbeldo! Take the prisoners here !"- Yelled the captain Morngon, with a red eye... The control cabin was huge, so the 39 prisoners walks in, and stand in front of the captain s seat. 30 were female, and the rest males; the difference between ages was stricking, as the females were young and pretty, but the males were old and wrinckled... -You are aboard the "Orragan" to be delivered at Marmalone 43 ! By one reason or another, you were selled to me, Captain Morngon, to be sold at the mining camps of Marmalone 43 ! Women to the Casinos, and males to the Labs!" The prisoners rise a din, but they were punished by the crew, so they were subdised soon enough. -"Enough of nonsense ! The ship has two big places where to put you in relative freedom, but as you probed belicose, you all be freezed now ! Take them away!" -Morngon said. They were encapsulated, and in deep freeze they traveled the rest of the trip. Two more jumps, and the "Orragan" appeared in normal space, in front of planet "Marmalone 43"... -Here we are, Captain! "- Oneger said, proudly of his skill. -Good ! You will receive a rise, skeeper! Now, send them a message, telling we are here!" The radioman, Feiodor Musengo, obeyed. He use a ecrypted code, in a few minutes someone answered him; he send the coordinates. Two hours later, a big disc appeared in the screen. -They are coming!"- Feiodor told the captain. -Be ready, men! "- Ordered Morngon, meaning all personnel must be armed at the main ports. The disc-shaped ship attached ,magnetically, to the "Orragan", and once they set a commincating tube from hatch to hatch, enters the "Orragan". 23 armed guys enters the ship, and once inside, opened they helmets, to talk. -I am Degonario; who is Captain Morngon?". - One big man said. -I am Morngon. I came here with the cargo; two million credits worth!"- He said. -Easy! We must see them first. "- Degonario said. AT his belt, a big Xray pistol was hanging loose. Morngon send for the prisoners, who came in with an unsteady pace, as they were all de-freezed in a haste. -"Here they are: females and males as ordered. You can revise the names and other data in here."- Capt. Morngon told Degonario, handling him a script-etable. Degonario read it, and asked a few questions more; satisfied, he gaves Morngon a square plastic sheet, with the asked credits already in a Bank account, ready to be transferred. -Cash this."- Morngon told Oneger; he typed fast in the sheet, and the ship send the messages to the Bank, in the surface of the planet. In one second, the credits were under Morngon account. -O.K., Captn!"- Oneger said. -You can take the cargo now, guys."- Morngon said, in the best of humours... When the prisoners were in the disc-shaped vessel, the "Orragan" sets curse to the Mining Station, in order to take the assigned cargo there..... ------------------- In the disc shaped vessel, Beatrice Dieter Berlin had a terrible head ache, same as the other prisoners. They were all cramped in a room, so they were talking to know each other before the arrival to the surface. -Seems we are going to serve as whores !"- A blonde said, screaming. -And we as slave investigators!"- An old man with a beard said. -Why the police has nothing to do with this? Did they payed them to do nothing?"- A gorgeous black woman asked, in a strange tone. -This far-off worlds have no rules ! It s like the Far West of old times!"- Another woman said. The ship gaves a turn, and they all went to a side, yelling. Some minutes elapsed, they feel a thud, and the engines stops. --We have landed."- A man said. The minutes went on and on, and nobody came to open the door. An old man said: -" I am Frederic Simmens, engineer. I told you, girls, we are a lot older than you, but we can insemminate the whole lot, in order to prevent them to turn you into a whore! In three or four months, you all be pregnants, and unuseful to the commercial sex! Surely you will be return to Earth!" The women were astounded, but one black haired woman takes the initiative, saying:"-Take me first!" The old man unbuttoned his trousers, and taking the woman in his arms, beguine to have sexual intercourse. In a few minutes, all the men were inseminating them; as the women were more in numbers, not all of them were inseminated.....Among the non inseminated ones was Beatrice Dieter Berlin..... The doors opened, and the pirates takes them all outside the ship. The site was a desolated one; several hills in the distance, a pale sun shining like a silver saucer in the sky. -Welcome to Marmalone, chicks!"- One of the pirates said, winckling an eye. -Go to hell!"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin told the guy, who darkened his face with an hatred visage..... -O.K., women inside the truck!"- A guy said; the truck loaded, beguine to hover a few meters from the surface, and went east-side at 120 kilometers per hour. The old men were there under the sun for four hours ; another overcraft appeared, and once they were all inside, depart to the south. -Guess we are separated for ever.- Frederic Simmens told the rest. -Good girls, that. They don t denied us a little pleasure!"- Another vet said. -Lets gave our names here and now! We must stick together!"- Frederic Simmens said. -I am Orlando Varriga! Waste disposal engineer!"- A fat man said. -I am Rick Berruga! Engineer in mines!"- Said a man with a beard. So they all gave their names and proffesions. Then, Frederic said :"- We must be obedient, to stay alive. Then, when they take us as a bunch of sheeps, we will made our scape possible. Are we O.K. with this?" They all said yes, as it was the easiest and less dangerous of all the plans they were plotting in their minds. Some hours later, they landed and walk to the surface; it was all white. -Guess we are in a polar region."- Said one of the old timers. -It s cold."- Complained another. They saw several big buildings , and chimmneys pouring smoke.They entered one of the buildings; inside there was din and bad smell; in some places big cranks were moving apparatus. -The mining fields."- Someone said. A big guy appeared; he was a negro man. -I am Guone, Chief of this building. You are going to do what I told you, or you will end inside a hoven! By now, you all are going to work in common and easy tasks! Becouse the Proffesor Rasmussen has not already come ! He has some ideas of a big laboratory of experimentations....his ideas. Mine, it s you all are a waste of credits! So you are going to work hard, have your meals, and hit the sack as good labourers! If you don t cooperate...the hoven it s waiting!" -The negro man said with a grin. So they began working as helping hands here and there; not difficult tasks,but burdened ones; they had all sored hands at the end of the "working day", some 20 hours each..... Frederic Simmens was appointed in a section near the rock triturators...a real din to be there. He was helping another negro guy, named Fond, who teachs him what to do with grunts and pushings ...not an agreably man. The meal was a pourridge that makes him puke. He leave the dish on the floor, but then his chief, Fond, takes it and swallowed the stuff in a blink of an eye. -Energy."- He said, farthing. -Nasty smelled." -Frederic answered, but the negro pushed him aside...... The temperature was some 30 C., and the metal handles were real hot, as the machines never stops working; when Frederic went to sleep, another team came to keep on working....This other people were grey skinned, with round eyes, perhaps orientals...... The dormitory was a big room with 29 beds; he search for an empty one, and slept there until a guy enters the place,yelling:-" On your feets, bumps! Another day, another credit! Hey, you, up you go!" And then Frederic was marching again to work. No breakfast, no lunch time.He was half awake when the "dinner" came; he takes the dish and swallowed the stuff, more to the anoyance of the negro Fond, who was waiting for him to leave the disch untouched...... His stomach attacked the meal; he felt a great nausea, and vomited half the meal on the floor. The negro beats him, telling him to mope the place .He did that, with unsteady hands. He was not accustomed to this kind of work, and perhaps he could die in the job..... So he change his mind; he cannot endure more than a week in that situation; he was needing to scape, no matter the risks , before he loose whatever energy he already has..... That night, instead of to sleep, he awoke his entire room-mates, telling them to try to scape in that same night. -What? With this terrible temperature will be freezing to death in a few hours!" -Said one of the scientifics. -I guess we can stand the cold ! All who are with me, rise his hand!"- Frederic said. Just a couple of men rise theirs; so it was with them that Frederic walked the deserted corridors, opened a little bit the gate, and went outside. -It s dark!"- Said Darnell, a big man of forty. -And it s cold as hell!"- Expressed Fuirteno, the second in the adventure; this one was an engineer in atomic engines, tall and with a eternal smile on his face,no matter what! -We must walk away; later we will set curse."- Said Frederic, seeing the sky was dark . They walked more than a kilometer, and finding a rocky formation, they went in the crevices, to rest.Four hours of rest, and they began marching again, with no sense of direction, as there were no stars, being cloudy. They walk with difficulty, as the terrain was formed by big boulders of ice. Some dark spots seems to be real ravines. They rest again near a mountain of ice. The cold was great; Frederic sensed not his legs...he pounded in them, but to not avail. -Guess we are all going to die.- Darnell said, breathing heavily. -The sun never appears."- Fuirtno Complained -. - Perhaps we are in a six months day and a six months night meridian."- Darnell said. Frederic was almost drowned in a queer sense of oblivion. Yes, it could be that: a six months night interval...What a nonsense, he thought, not to have remembered that first..... The three of them freezed to death, in the cold of that long night; their bodies were covered by snow and so the rescue teams never found them...... ------------------ By the time, Beatrice was already dancing in a rotten Cantina; five other women from the cargo ship were with her; they all had to dance ,or be beaten.They were not forced to have sex with the males, but the rest of the women in the Cantina told them that ,in the beguining , they were like them...but the scarce meals, the eternal cold and the needs pushed them to the commercial sex bussiness...... Beatrice Dieter Berlin ends the dance, and the guys -more than eighty that night- made her propositions and laughed aloud. She enters the Camerino, and saw Felicia Perez, an old dancer , walking briskly to the scenario...... -Wish me luck, babies!"- She said, smiling sadly. Beatrice Dieter Berlin seats in front of a mirror, and takes all the powder out of her face; near her were Malia, Farfania and Shana, the three from Earth. -What are we going to do? I don t want to be here a day more!"- Malia said; she was a splendid woman, with black hair. -I want to be free, too, but how? We are in a waste land. We must have a spacial vehicle, and travel to Earth..."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, sadly. -"No way! I want a rich worker here; I gave this to suck--and he pay me a rich apartment, with all the luxuries ! What do you said of that?"- Farfania said, looking at her big breasts. --Do that, and takes us with you!"- Shana said, smiling. Farfania was proud of her breasts! No silicone here; nature provided her with a big blossom........... When it came her turn, she went there and lasciviously danced, until one guy from the crowd came to her yelling like a dog. They take him away, but he passed her a e-card! She called her, from the Camerino, and the guy was panting for her. She ask him to go to the manager, and pay whatever price the guy said, to release her, Miss Farfania....She will be ready for him! Stillgood ,as that was his name, said:"- I ll pay all I have for one of your kisses ,baby!" -Pay for the whole lot, you dumb!!"- Farfania yelled into the e-card..... Two hours elapsed, she was called by Mr. Barroso, the Manager.... -There is a gentleman interested in you, Miss Farfania. He wants you free of our little Contract! I ask 2.000.000 credits, cash! And the guy ...er, gentleman, is ready to pay that summ! His name is Sean Stillgood. You know him?"- ASked Mr. Barroso, seated with his big belly in the arm-chair. -Of course not, Mister! I am a serious person."- She complained. -O.K.! I was asking...well, this is what I offer you: I will release the contract, set you free...but after a while, lets say a couple of days of romance,m you came back to me ! What do you say?"- The fat entrepreneur asked. -I say yeah! But what did I earn in this bussiness of yours?"- She asked. Hearing this, Mr. Barroso the fat said:"- You can ask what you desire to that bump! The guy has lots of money; being a chief in the Company for years! But you remember: you came here, sign me another contract, and we all earn a few bucks!"- The guy said. She said yes. So the gentleman takes the lady, after burning the Contract; they went inside the best furnished hotel in town, and once alone, the guy ask:"- Pardon me, Miss Farfania...but I want you to dance for me !" She asked:"- Have you a radio somewhere?" -Eh, yeah!"- Said Stillgood- And finding a radio, he search for the kind of ,music they were accustomed.... Farfania danced for him. He was delighted, and also aroused. He takes her by the waist, trying to kiss her. She made a violent move, and landed on him, who went to the floor. -Ouch!"- Said he. She laughed, seated in his chest. The hands of Stillgood were busy touching her buttocks...she leaves her do it some minutes more, and then ,when he wants something more, she said: -Hey! If you want my body, you must earn it!" -What?"- ASked the hot breathed guy. She moves down his body, and say:"- I can give you hours of pleasure, mate. But you must pay my needs...are you ready to do that for little Farfania,yes?" The guy was almost fainted, but he managed to say yes. She went a little far down, and the guy was in Heaven. When all was done, she went to the bathroom, and takes a long shower. When she finished, she wrapped herself in a thick towell, and went to the bed. Stillgood was there, waiting... -Oh! You bad boy...sign me a check."- She asked. The guy didn t blink, when she asked for 200.000 credits...He puts the amount in her count, and then she said:"- Oh, you are a real good boy!" He takes her in his arms, saying:" -My beauty, let s not waste time ! " And after that, he was on her,.. Farfania did her best; the guy has a terrible resistance, and so he leaves her pussy in bad shape... -I want to go to the bathroom, honey!"- She said. In the bathroom she takes a cold shower. Suddenly, he was there ! -My love !"- He was saying, already fit for another coitus.....She try not to, but the guy managed to insert the long artifact home... -Hey!"- She said, but the man was working hard this time; she clings to the water pipe. After an eternity, the guy ends his work with a yell. -Aaay!"- Stillgood said. and went to the floor. She leaned close to him; he was red in the face. -"This is to show you sex is not a game!"- Farfania said. But Stillgood wasn t hearing. In fact, he will not hear a darn thing anymore, as he was death as a stone.... Farfania went to the bedroom, and dressed herself in a hurry. She fumbled in his trousers; he finds the electric bank account machine; she send all the credits to her own account, and then she went out the Hotel, without being noticed...... In the street, she finds a taxi, and asks the driver to carry her to the Casino where she works before.There, she went to the Camerinos, finding Malia and Shana. -Oh, the real princess is here ! What happens, you want to join again?- Malia asked, incredously. - I came here for you all ! I have a lot of dug now, but later I explain !"- She urged. -What happens with the smart-ass? "- Shana asked. -He is dead, but later, later I explain things !"- Farfania said, and then a guy enters the Camerino, saying:"- Mr. Barroso calls you, Farfania.Right away."- -How did he know I am here?"- Farfania asked, turning pale. She went to the office, and the fat guy embraced her, saying:"-Oh, my little dove, you came back in a hurry! Did you leave the man, or he dumped you, after you-know-what?" -I am on leave, Mr. Barroso, as he asked me to present him my friends..." -Oh, the guy wants more? I cannot accept, darling. All my females must work hard, to earn the day."- Barroso said, with a grimace. -Oh, but he told me you will accept ! He offers 40.000 credits if you say yes, for a night."- Farfania said. Barroso smelled the sweet odor of money, and he said:"- For 40,000 I cannot accept; let s make it 80.000 credits, for a couple of hours. !" Farfania fakes a phone call, and said yes. So she payed, and when she came to the Camerino , Beatrice Dieter Berlin was there , and Malia was at the stage,dancing........ -I knew you were here ! What is that story of death and credits?- Beatrice Dieter Berlin asked . -Cannot told you yet ! But here are the facts: I have a lot of dug, the man is dead, and if you want to chance with me to fly from this planet, you can say yes, all of you , and we try our cards. Who is with me?"- Farfania asked. Beatrice Dieter Berlin said yes, and also Shana. They don t wait for Malia, and they went out of the Casino, with Mr. Barroso looking at them suspiciuosly. They take a taxi cab, and asked him to drive to the Spaceport in a hurry. -Okie dokie, milady.!"- The driver said, and racing by the streets, leaves them in the lobby. Farfania asks for the next trip-to whatever the site. -In five minutes, madame, a Tourist Vessel will depart to Europa."- Said the woman in charge. -Give me 3 tickets right away!"- She demanded. So she buy the ticket, walks to the vessel with her 2 friends,, and in twenty minutes, the ship was leaving the Marmalone planet, with them inside... Farfania wa s thinking in how nice will be her future in Europa! Always wanting to visit Europa,and now she was travelling there , first class!" -Why the hurry?"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin asked Farfania. They were seated in the same row , and Shana was a little farther away. -The guy that boughts my contract, Stillgood, died of an intoxication of sex! And I was there, with her ewallet in sight ! So I take all the credits, and search you to accompany me out of this far-off world ! "- Farfania explained. -Thanks you very much, Farfania. You have a golden heart !"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. -And so we are going to Europe ! Paris, London!"- Farfania laughed. - No, this vessel it`s not going to Earth ! It is going to Jupiter`s moon, Europa !"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin informed her.... But Farfania was not believing that, so she ask the hostess; she tolds her that the ship was going to the Jupiter`s moons ! Farfania wept for several hours. She was so frightned, she was thinking now she was going to be convicted of murder! Beatrice Dieter Berlin and Shania told her to calm her down, as nobody could blame her for an heart attack ! And then, she was all sedated ,in order to beguine the necessary hyper jumps ... Four months elapsed, the vessel arrives to the Solar System, and awoke the passengers, racing to Jupiter. -Oh, what a sleep!" - Shania said, looking the new calendar on the wall. -Guess we are near destination: a frozen world, half way to Pluto !-- Beatrice Dieter Berlin explained, in an husky voice. -What are we going to do in Europa? I want to be in sunny California!"- Farfania said. They asked the Hostess about their intentions. She said:"-This vessel will return to Marmalone, Miss. But you can buy places at some other ship, no doubt you can."- They disembarked in Europa; a shuttle -vessel leaves them at "Oriflama", the only city with a Spaceport in all the satellite. Big shining Jupiter was there in the sky, like a virtual menace of smashing everything under it. The clouds in the surface were changing, slowly but noticeably. -What a sight ! It gaves me the creeps!"- Farfania said, looking in her ewallet; she has 239.987 credits now; the three tickets made that hole in her credit account! The city of Oriflama has a populace of 3 million people; the import- export of the city was merely nothing, as the site was solely for scientific purposes, but tourism was a good bussiness, with some 2.4 million visitors per year. At the Spaceport ,Farfania asked for the next trip to Earth. The Agency clerck said:"- There is one trip to Earth, Miss; next tuesday." It was a week in the future....... -O.K., I want three tickets to Earth. How much costs that?" The clerck looks on the screen of his desk, typed a little, and replied:"-209.000 credits, Miss. Did you prefer to buy them now, or are you waiting ? If you decide to wait, I can reserve it for some time."- The man said, looking with hungry eyes the three females....There were not much females as those, in frozen Europa...... -"I buy the tickets now; I guess you can tell me where to find a nice cheap hotel, to be waiting for next tuesday."- Farfania said, with a smile. -"The "Edmond Hamilton" it s our best Hotel; 30 credits for a day." -Too much! Well, gave me the tickets.."- Farfania said. The guy handled her the tickets, and using the ecard, takes the 209.000 credits from Farfania`s bank account..... The females went out of the Starport, and they find all the city was under a huge dome; several buildings had hundreds of stories under the frozen ice. -Guess we are going to turn ourselves in penguins, here !"- Farfania said, turning blue from the cold . -Let`s find a hotel before we get a cold !"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. They hire a taxi, and the guy leaves them in front of a cheap hotel; it was a tin can, some 20 floors under the ice, and just 2 stories high... -Wish I could provide you a better hotel, gals, but the tickets eats almost everything I had."- Farfania explained. --I can try to get my account back..."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said.-"But I am not sure the kidnappers takes or not my dug." They get into the hotel; it was damp. The clerck at the parlor said:"- There is a heat system in every room, ladies ! But here in the corridors, why waste energy? Well, it s lucky time for you: just half the price, if you ask just one room with three beds...or do you prefer individual suites?" -A room with three matresses will suit us fine. We are out of cash, buddy."- Farfania said. The man ask how many days. -Until next tuesday."- Farfania replied, and payed handling her ewallet...the total amount went down to 30.777 credits...... They follow the clerck by the frozen corridors; some other people were crossing the place, with sunken cheeks and frozen faces. None of them seems to be a scientist at all! Inside the room there really was some heat on; the clerck said:- No cooking is aloud, dames. So please went out to Restaurants to eat." And depart. Shana close the door and went to bed, saying:"- I am going to sleep a little, girls. " Farfania seats in her bed, looking at Beatrice Dieter Berlin. -I am going to see if I can get back those credits I had. Guess in a Bank they can do that for me." -Suit yourself."- Farfania said, leaning on the bed. Beatrice Dieter Berlin went out, and close the door. The corridor was cold, and so it was the street; she finds a Bank some 3 blocks away; they asked her name and her identity card. -My name is Beatrice Dieter Berlin, but I lost the card somewhere, also my ewallet. " The guy at the other side of the desk said:"- All right, Miss. WE need at least your fingerprints. " They take her fingerprints, and faxed it by the phone; then they receive the identity card and the ewallet, all in scarce five minutes. -Here is your identity card, Miss. And the ewallet too."- Said the clerck, after the machine did a copy of both. She reads the amount at her account: 117.999 credits ! More than 800.000 were missing.... -I am robbed ! I had a lot more ."- She said. The clerck said:"-If you want, you can call the police from here." She realized it was not too clever to call the police, as the money was originally not hers....She said:"- No, I will do it directly.Well, thanks for your work." -Not so fast, lady!I must have the work duly payed...handle me the ewallet, please." So it costs her 30 credits to recuperate the I.D. and the E- account....... She returns to the Hotel, and told Farfania they have 117.969 credits at their disposal. -Good girl! But now, please be quiet! I want to sleep a little."- Farfania begged of her. Beatrice Dieter Berlin went to the bed, also. She was tired; it was the long sleep aboard, plus the emotions of the day..... They all awoke when a ring starts; they looked each other, startled. -What is going on?"- Farfania said. -I will call the management."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. After the phone call, she hangs up, and told the other girls:"- It`s the dawn time: seven hours...as here there is no sun shining brigthly, they ring a bell each morning,as in all places in Oriflama." They bathed and dressed talking incesantly; they look at the HoloTV how there were several places of interest in the city, but mainly out of it: places where teams of scientists were working in the ice, marvels of Nature. -We should go and see those places ! Guess we will be never again in this big shunk of ice! "- Shana said. They asked in several Touring Agencies about places and prices; they were interested in the cheaper ones...and they found it in the "Cullin Touring":20 credits for each person, a visit to the Mirror Lakes !Three days ,with all the meals included... -Better than to be here in this rat -hole! " -Shana said. They were visited by a female from the Cullin Touring".She was very nice; they payed, and then she said:"- This afternoon at 15.00 hours we will be here, to beguin the trip. Be ready! " They were all excited; at 3 in the afternoon, a vehicle, with 30 seats, appears in front of the Hotel; they climb in there and began the sightseeing. -I am Brent ,your cicerone. I will be showing you the interesting points we have in Europa. Please ask what you please." The man was handsome, and the girls felt they were missing something in their lives...Shana said:"- How old are you?" They all laughed. In the bus there were18 other people; in the travel trough the city, another 8 people climbs in; the majority were old people, and some childs. They went out the city, by a gate. The vehicle was atomic-powered, so the energy wasn t a problem. The ice was full of spikes and mounds, but the machines opened roads to the different places of interest; the chains of the vehicle made it a secure one. -We are in the Valley of Spikes; to the left you can see the Mountains of the Dream, so called as they often are misty..."- Brent, by the speakers. The girls laughed aloud, as Shana said ushered something to her frieds.... They arrive to the Mirror Lakes in 10 hours ; several meals were served. -We have here a lodge, where you could rest by the night. To-morrow at seven we will be travelling to the first Lake."- Brent said. The building was three storied; the rooms were tiny and with one bed each; the baths were in the corridor. As the girls were full of energy, they went to the dining hall, where some old timers were dancing lame songs. -Seems we came to a warden."- Shana said, buffing. -Brent could put some real music here !"- Farfania said. They asked where the guy was; they told them he was prepairing the vehicle for the morrow. -Well, let s dance !" -Farfania said, and they all dance with old people, who was delighted to see unwrinkled faces around..... After the dancing, they serve soup , and then all to bed. -We are in an asylum ! "- Shana said. -Guess you are right. But the ice is there, at least. It s beautiful and we can ask for some skies to travel!"- Farfania said. -Lets ask."- Said Beatrice Dieter Berlin, smiling, and she pick up the phone; they told her yes, he could do that, in some spots. -Then book three for go skiing to-morrow!- Beatrice Dieter Berlin, with energy, on the phone. In the next "morning", someone knocks on the door, and Farfania opened. -Good morn' , madames ! Are we ready to go skiing? I will be your instructor, to -day!"- Brent said. They were enchanted.... From a hill, they could travel to a valley ,and up the hill again, using a caterpillar. Beatrice was enchanted to play the girl in vacations, but also, she was sensing already the emptiness of it all; with her high level of inteligence, and the rememberings of her passed works in Holoturia, he beguin to fell herself tired of it all.But it was for a few days, so she accepted the inevitable. -We are in the Valley of Spikes; to the left you can see the Mountains of the Dream, so called as they often are misty..."- Brent said, aproaching her... -"Oh, is you! You startled me."- She said, as she was staring downhill, how her companions laugh as they glide down. -"You are not like them; you have a troublesome look. What is it that haunts you?"- Brent said. -Not much, I am affraid; just plain spleen, I guess."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, looking those beatiful eyes so close ... -You must enjoy your vacations! There will be enough time later, when you arrive to your home-planet, Miss Beatrice Dieter Berlin!"- Brent said, pushing her downhill. She laughed, and went gliding down; she stop near of her friends, who was seeing how Brent went as fast as a bird, turn and stop in an handkerchief. -�Wow!"- Farfania said, clapping. -Thanks, ladies. And now, enough of this ! Let`s go to some place, where some scientists are working in serious."- Brent said. They climbed in the machine, and travelled some hundred kilometers south; the hills of ice were enormous there, and in the side of a cliff, a metal glint takes their attention. Brent said:"-Those guys down there hadn t see a woman in seven years! So please, ladies, pay attention: do not flirt with anyone ,or else!" They laughed. Arriving to the door was an easy thing to do, but to wait for the inocupants to open the door, was a different and hard thing, as the people there was seven hundred meters down the ice, and to attend the doorbell was not an easy thing to do ! -Why, but is my old friend Brent! How it s the society of the hominids, to-day?"- A bald man asked, blinking with her pale blue eyes, as the ice reverberation was great. -Hi, Professor Dollet ! Here I am, bringing you the spring to your icy days!" -Brent answered, showing the proffesor his companions... -Oh, my! Girls ! Pardon me, ladies ! I am professor Doug Dollet, at your service ! Came along, please! " They went inside the building. Inside there was a mild 10�C, and they seat in several chairs; meanwhile, the professor Dollet pours some coffe in some cups, offering them some. -The coffe is good !"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, tasting the liquid. -Oh, yes! It s brazilian."- Smiled the scientific. -And how did it get here?"- ASked Beatrice Dieter Berlin. -One of my colleagues is brazilian."- Said he. They finished the coffe, and they all went down by a elevator; they went down in it for 200 hundred meters, and then ,from then on, they continuous by the stairs... -Too difficult! And it s slippery here."- Farfania said,panting. -Yes, but there is no other way! The cables, you know, cannot have more than a certain weight..."- The proffesor said.-"Perhaps we must visit some other level, instead..."- -Yes, do that!"- Shana said, tired of so much exertion... So they visit a already explored section; the professor opened some boxes, showing them rocks. -"This are meterorites; they show us several important things about the genesis of the solar system."- Dollet said. -So you are out here recollecting stones! How funny!"- Farfania said, laughing. They went up again, and professor Dollet said:"- Your visit gaves a fresh air to this den! Perhaps I will return to Earth soon, leaving the stones!" -Do it !"- Farfania said, kissing his cheek. Brent carried the girls to the Hotel; they went to sleep, as it was late in the "night".... Brent went to his room; he finds Shana there, waiting, pleading, wanting... -O.K., baby, but just one time only, do you hear? I cannot have intercourse with tourists, or my job went to hell, hear me, baby?"- He said in her hear. She said yes to everything in those moments; the woman was in real need. Three and a half hours later, Brent stick his head out of the door, and seeing no peeking person was on sight, he pushed the girl out, closing the door. He went to the bathroom, tired; the girl was a real wrestler in bed, and an inexaustible one, at that. She always were asking more and more, and they man was in shreds , in the last moments of her passion.... He get to sleep , with a sigh....... ------------ The week ends, and the ship appears; it was not what Beatrice Dieter Berlin was waiting, a little cargo vessel: it was a huge piece of machinary, filling half the sky with its bulk. -They say it s an alien ship, found astray in the Pluto orbit. "- Brent said to Beatrice Dieter Berlin, who was staring to the sky, where the vessel was as nailed. -I am scared."- She said. -I notice it. But do not pay attention to my words, beatiful lady; you deserve the best , and that vessel it s the best. Sure thing, you will be in Earth in less than a month; they say the vessel has strange engines that pushed the ship as a feather in a hurricane."- Brent said, kissing her hair. -Hey! Don t do that !"- She said, looking her friends, who were staring at them. -Good voyage! "- Brent said, smiling. The scout ship takes the girls up, and then they were inside the "Birome". -I am the skipper; Fernando Delgado. This way, please."- A thin ,dark man told them. They follow him by the corridors; they were huge and with protrudging things popping out of the wet walls. The skipper opened a door, and show them three beds and a bath, saying."- This will be your cabin, ladies. There is plenty of room in this ship, but as the Company it s just beguining, the accomodations are not as good as it should be; in any case, the price for your travel to Earth has been reduced in a 20% percent." -That s good news."- Farfania said, punching the chest of the skipper, who went out the room with a smile. -Guess we are going to made our own beds, here. I had not seen too many of a crew, sisters."- Shana said, leaning on the bed. -The skipper is not as bad ,either."- Farfania laughed. -My me! You are always so clever about men, Farfania! "- Shana said. -Brent told me this ship was not made by our fellowmen."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin told them; she was not happy with those women,always laughing and thinking in men to fuck with. -Who told you, Brent ? Do you like the man, eh?"- Shana said. -No, I don t . But he really told me that, when we were leaving Europa."- She said. - I fuck the man, girls. Good specimen."- Shana anounced-. -What? You did what?"- Farfania said, aproaching to her. -I did it, woman! I did ...enter his room, offering myself...the guy couldn`t resist me, and we...he did all I want him to do to me...A feast!"- Shana said, looking at both women. Farfania slapped her, and went out the room; Shana stared at the open door, and turning her head to Beatrice Dieter Berlin ,said:"- What ! What happens to her, Beatrice Dieter Berlin? This woman is nuts, or what?" Beatrice Dieter Berlin said:"Guess you did what she has no guts to do...poor woman." Shana sobbed, saying:"- Oh, why she slapped me so hard? What have I done to her, to be treated this way?"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin gaves her a glass of water; then she went out the room, and finding Farfania standing not too far from the door, she told her:"- You slapped Shana without too much motive, Farfania. You own her an apologize!" -I own her nothing! Why...the little bitch! "-She replied , with fire. Beatrice Dieter Berlin looks into her soul...then she said:"- You better find some other place to sleep, Farfania. I don t want you near Shana any more!" Farfania opened wide her eyes, saying:"- Why, you are a dick or something?" -Not that, but you ...hate her. I don t want hate near me, do you hear?"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, taking the other`s throat...and squeezed it a little. In the eyes of the coughing Farfania she reads the fear. Then she releases her and walks Shana`s room... Farfania asks for another cabin, and they gaves her a room in another level. -It s O.K, now, Shana. She is going to leave the room; she will be travelling in some other cabin."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, after receiving a phone call. -Good. I don`t want her near me...the bitch!"- Shana said, sobbing. ------------------ Beatrice Dieter Berlin walks alone by the corridors; the main one had a floor and lights made by man; the other corridors, the crew quarters, the engine room, had none of them; the floor was rugged, the walls with projections of metal, the turning points full of words in unknown languages.....strange signs all over.... -Lady! What are you doing here?"- -Sightseeing...why? Is it forbidden?"- She replied, looking in the direction of the voice.....He saw the same man, the skipper, looking at her from an ajar door. -Not forbidden, no. But it s dangerous...the floor is slippery here.And if you don t know the ship, you could lose yourself very easily!"-The man said. -All right, then you rescue me ! "- She smiled ,gently. The man get near her, and she said:"- I want to know everything about this ship, you know? I am a former general manager of a big Company, in Holoturia planet...Ever been there?"- Fernando Delgado said:"- No, I haven t . But very possibly, I will, in the future. This ship could travel to any part of the known world..."- -Is it true that this ship is not made by man?"- ASked her. -Who told you that?"- Delgado was startled to hear that. -Someone in Europa! Well?" -No, lady! This ship is entirely made by man! And now, aloud me to escort you to your room!"- Delgado seems to be upset... She was in her room again; the meal appears, in a tray, when a window opens at the wall. It was of good taste, too! -At least we will eat ."- Shana said, smiling feebly. She was recovering from the slap ! Beatrice Dieter Berlin eats the plate; then she felt an urgency to sleep, and she saw how Shana went to the floor, from her seat at the table. She stands up, gave a pair of steps, faltering. "-The soup!"- She said, looking at the dishes...She went to the floor, and there she fights the need to sleep. With half closed eyes she saw how a door- trap on the ceiling opened, and a slugish thing , white, obscene, with something greasy all over, takes Shana, and began to fuck her with something like a tube...The woman lay limp in its three arms, one of them sticking out of its head... Then the being turned to her, and its head was like a deflated ballon, white and yellow, bristling with the substance...She felt the penis, or whatever the being have between the slimy legs, inside her vagine.The monster was panting. She felt a sudden jerk, and a flood of liquid, that pressen inside of her; then it was oozing out, wetting the floor. The monster went to Shana again, and began fucking her again; its back was glistening ....A wall door opened, and something shriek , and the monster release Shana, who banged it s head on the floor; the IT went to the ceiling and dissapears, as the trap door closed silently after it. Beatrice Dieter Berlin passed away, fainted, leaves the reality.......... When she awoke, she was leaning on her bed, clean as a whistle....She felt her parts; they were dry, clean.. She looks unto the other bed; there Shana lies, clean, tidy...The lights were on, as always, and a soft humm from the machinary was heard ...She stands up and went to the bath....She felt her pussy, and find it some of the liquid the monster pours inside. She vomit. Then someone knocks the door; she went to open it, but Shana already was there, talking with Delgado, who looked very pale. -There is some exercices you must do, ladies! Too much rest damages the body, specially when you must return to Earth and it s gravity. Please, follow me!" They follow him; at the end of the corridor they enter a gymnasium; there they were told to do several minutes in front of several machines, who made them jump, run, and lift weights. Then Delgado carried them to the baths, where they take a cold shower. -You have lockers, ladies ! Use them; you will find clothes there, also shoes." They put the new clothes, but Beatrice Dieter Berlin was physically ill; she was observing constantly for a sign from Shana, but the woman was totally normal. No remenbering of any kind. She takes her to the Observation room, a tiny place with a screen looking out the stars. There she told her:"- Shana, you must remenber something! Last night happened something terrible---to both of us!" -Don t frighten me, please! I am terribly shy."- Shana said, looking pale. -We are not in a common ship any more! We are...being used !"-Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. Shana stared at the stars, and then asks:"- How, being used? I am not being used; I don t feel being used. Why did you say that? ARe you O.K.?" -I am not O.K. and I don t know what to think, but I told you this: last night a member of the Inferno came, rape us and when someone other came into our room, it fled out the ceiling !" Shana stands up, and said:"- Now calm down, Beatrice Dieter Berlin! You are not making much sense here ! " -I swear I saw it coming down the ceiling, and it grabs us..."-Beatrice Dieter Berlin repeated. -No way, woman ! I cannot believe it ! We take the soup, went to bed, slept there ...How came I was in bed, rings the bell, I opened the door to this caracther , and we went to the gym, then here...to hear bullshit! "- Shana said, leaving the room... Beatrice Dieter Berlin takes her own head between his hands...It sound real crazy, even to herself! When she was saying it all to Shana, she felt something was totally ill in all the situation... She went to the main room, seeing a lot of machines blinking there, but no one in sight. She leaned in some of the consoles...not one with normal words, and some holes in the benches, not desingned to be used by hominid`s eyes.... -Something wrong, Miss Beatrice Dieter Berlin=?" She looks to the place where the voice came. It was a screen, and in it was the face of Delgado. -Oh, yes! I mean...I want a new room, please. More privacy, I guess. "- She said,with faltering voice. -I see. Well, I find no problem in satisfaying yourself this time, Miss Beatrice Dieter Berlin. But be in the old room at dinning time, and I will scort you to your new room. Are you satisfyied with it ?"- Delgado asked. -Yes, I am satisfied with your answer...Delgado."- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. She went out of there, and walks to an elevator; she used it till the top, and went into a hall where some machines looked out of use; the walls has lots of round doors, and she choose one; it ends in a little machine of sorts, something like a little vehicle... -Evacuation ships..."- She murmured softly. But the machines were too small, how will it serves for a human body? They were designed for some other race, or perhaps for childs? Something was creeping by the communication tube, she looks backwards, and she sees Delgado, crawling inside the place. -I see you are a very curious woman, Miss Beatrice Dieter Berlin. "- He said, standing in front of her. -What are this things?" -Emergency ships, to the use of the crew when in the case the main ship has something very dangerous to keep being inside it." -But they are so small!"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said. -Yes, they are small. "- Delgado replied, looking her intently. -This ship has so many queer things!"- She said, loosing strength. -For you, that hasn t studied mechanics, must look queer all this ship.But do not worry about that, lady! You will arrive soon to the Earth, and forget about this ship." She leaves the place, crawling by the tube out. Delgado reminds inside... She went to her former room; Shana wasn t there. She tried to remember how long it will takes them to arrive to Earth...less than a month, Brent said...She wish the man was with her, to protect her... Later in the day, Shana arrived to the room, saying:"- Oh, you came back! I thought you were mad at me, or something."- -No, I am not mad at you, but I prefer to have my own room; guess we are the sole passengers here; I had seen nobody except Delgado, in all my walks."- -Same here. "- Shana said, and leaning on the bed, she was soon asleep. Delgado came two hours later, and he escorted Beatrice Dieter Berlin to her new room; two leves down, and in a dimly lit corridor. -Here you have, lady! A beautiful room for yourself. I fix it myself."- Delgado told her. It was bigger than the former one, and with two beds; the bath was in the back. -Someone will be sleeping in the other bed?" -No, Miss Beatrice Dieter Berlin. You alone will be here."- And he went out, before she could ask some more questions... There was no soup that night; she slept under the bed, with the blankets under her body, fully dressed... In the morning she went to see Shana; she was asleep, so she went out of the room without talking to her. Beatrice Dieter Berlin went up the elevator, and then she walks by the deserted corridors. The upper levels were almost empty; no machines and no nothing in there .The walls have no glasses to see out, no screen also. It was silent as a tomb. Level 2 was occupied by the control room, machines and places where a real mob of a crew could be seated, in front of screens and buttons of command,but there was not a soul in there... Delgado was looking at her,as the ship had spy-cameras all-around. With him was 234-1, an alien. -Guess this woman is pregnant by now. I inseminate it ."234-1 said. -My Gracious! Oh, I must protect her !"- Delgado said, punching some buttons. In the place where Beatrice Dieter Berlin was, a shot of gas made her inconscious. Delgado went there, takes the woman in his arms, and leaves her in a special pod, where he was sedated for months; she finally gaves birth to a creature... -A Burei! "- 234-1 said, taking the baby-creature in his tentacles. -Done ! "- Delgado said, stitching the wound. -"I will leave this lady here for a month; no traces of this incident will be noticed." -A burei! He will reign in the Dark Places !"- 234-1 said, crawling with the baby/thing in his ..lap? ---------------------------- Beatrice Dieter Berlin awoke. She was in an Hospital room. She rings a bell, and a nurse came inside the room. -"Oh, you are awoke ! Good thing, this ! I will summon the doctor immediatly!" -The nurse told her. Beatrice Dieter Berlin was trying to recollect what information she has...she has none. Why she was in a Hospital? The doctor, a fat,bald and old man, wearing the white robe, enters the room, scanned her with a "Allseeing" instrument, and finally he said:"- Sound as an apple! Congratulations."- -Doctor ! Why am I here?"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin asked, in a voice near panic. -"You were in a wreck, in high space ! One of the patrol boats finds you, as your wreck was in the wrong course! "- He said. -"Me.. in high space? I don t recollect a thing!"- Beatrice Dieter Berlin said, as her mind was a perfect void. -Sorry to hear that. You will be attended properly, so don t you worry. We will help you recover your former self. But now, take things with patience. You almost rise from the dead!"- The doctor said, laughing,and departed. Beatrice Dieter Berlin was astounded ! Three days later, she went out of the hospital; New York was there, glistening in the early hours of the morning... -No more space trips for me !"- She murmured to herself-"I will stick to Earth!" The end. ------------------------------ 14.march.2000.- A.Juillet F. ..Santiago, Chile. ------------------------------Note: there are four more tales that are the continuation of this one.Stay tune for more Songs!
