>You accept the shipping job and open up the description for the artillery job.
>The description details an unknown force that has taken over a colony and is stealing resources from a planet.
>Reading more, you see that the main request is to support a small fighting force and destroy designated targets through any means of ranged firepower.
>"Hate shields?" Chaos asks.
>Fixer holds up her mechanical hoof.
>"Something like that."
>"Ow. How did you get that hoof anyways? Looks heavy duty."
>"Bought it and spiced it up. I didn't feel right with a peg and other things were too expensive at the time. Had other enhancements that took priority."
>"There a catalog for that kind of stuff?" Angel asks.
>Fixer slides him a data pad.
>"Genetic mods too, lookin' for something specific?"
>"Just browsing." Angel says as he looks at the data pad.
 
"Feel free to ask if you need some credits Angel."
>"Thanks Vex." Angel says, giving you a nuzzle.
"What about your hoof Fixer? What is your dream hoof?"
>Fixer looks up in thought.
>"Something that has all my tools on it. A blowtorch, an impact gun, and so on. An all in one kinda thing."
"Maybe you can buy it."
>"Or make it." Fixer says with a smile.
"Speaking of, how long would it take to get that gun working?"
>"If i start now? Ten hours for everything, Six for just so we can move it. Why?"
"An artillery mission, I'm thinking we should use it."
>Fixer smiles.
>"Hell of a field test, we could load some high explosives shells. If you have the credits i can build it, 8000 so we can use it and 10000 for everything."
 
>You accept the artillery job and pass Fixer the credits.
"We can add the armor plates later right?"
>"Yeh, no problem. I'll hop to it and get it ready. You may wana make sure fuzzy ears has her hearing protection though, i bet this thing could make her deaf from constant shooting."
>Fixer gets up and begins to trot off.
>"Stop by when you have a moment to check on progress."
"I will, thanks."
>As Fixer leaves, Chaos turns to you.
>"Is that the gun we found?"
"Yes, it's a tank gun."
>"Nice! That will be fun. what else we have to do today?"
"A delivery for now."
>"I'll go load it when i'm done." Angel says with a smile.
>"Hopefully we can use the gun more today. Do we get to know who gets to use it?" Chaos asks.
 
"Well i was thinking you could have it Chaos, but i may want to let a certain pair of brothers each have a go and see who is best with it."
>"Probably Chaos then," Angel says as he still looks at the data pad, "He knows things that go boom."
>"Come on, we will still each have a shot, see who gets the most targets."
>"Alright, though i'm currently more interested in these mods."
"Find something you like?"
>Angel smiles.
>"Possibly, i'll save the details for later though."
>When you all finish eating, you leave Angel to the cargo and head out to buy Cobalt some hearing protection.
>Once you buy the protectors, you head back to the ship, finding the cargo secure.
>As Angel takes off and begins piloting, you search for Cobalt, finding her just exiting her room.
>"Mmh. Good morning captain."
"Good morning Cobalt, tired?"
>"Yes, sorry." Cobalt yawns.
"We have a loud job coming up, so i got these for you so you don't get hurt like yesterday."
>You give Cobalt the protectors, her face lighting up.
>"Really? thanks!"
"No problem Cobalt, crew health and safety is first."
>"Still, it's really nice, i feel a little spoiled. I'm going to go eat and make sure i am ready. But before i go."
>She looks behind you and behind herself, getting a bit of red to her face.
>Cobalt leans in and pecks you on the cheek, whispering in your ear.
>"Just wanted to let you know, i'm ready for whenever you and Angel need me."
 
>You let out a soft giggle, looking at the blushing mare.
"Well then, I'll need to arrange something soon. Both me and Angel were quite satisfied last time."
>"I was too, it felt really good and i'm excited for more. Just make sure you stay a mare for a little bit longer, i want to do something."
"I'll try, we are going to have plenty of fun with you."
>Cobalt giggles and you give her a peck back, her blush showing even more.
"Now go have breakfast you cutie."
>"Aye, aye, captain."
>You watch Cobalt walk off, her tail swishing back and forth as she walks.
>You head to the med bay, finding Charon doing something on a computer.
>"Oh, hello captain Vex, everything alright?"
"Yes, just wanted to view Fixer's file."
>"Well then, i'm here if you have questions."
>You grab Fixer's file and begin reading it.
>Quick Fixer: Cybernetic implants/Artifical parts:* Prosthetic forehoof, Artificial lungs, Artificial heart. Notable small size** *** Standard treatment for crew death: comfort and support. *No signs of rejection detected **Confirmed age is 26 and not suspected age of 12-15 (Based on average size of foal to age) ***Unknown cause of size disorder.
 
>You turn to Charon.
"You don't know what made Fixer so small?"
>Charon turns to you and shrugs.
>"I suspect it is either genetic or she was just unlucky. Most likely the latter, the heart and lungs suggest she is... "the runt of the litter." I'm surprised at her age too, i figure she would be closer to Cobalt and not closer to me."
"Should i worry about her heart and lungs? Should i make sure she doesn't run or strain herself?"
>Charon smiles and shakes her head.
>"Hardly, i had her do some exercises and she did just fine. I couldn't get a make or model from her, but she assures me that it is top of the line. The only thing worth worrying about is the possible rejection of the artificial parts. If she is telling the truth and has had them for over four four years, we need not worry at all."
"Why do you think she is not telling the truth?"
>"Her attitude, i could easily tell she hates doctors. Possibly due to her size and extra parts. She did settle down after seeing that i only wanted to know about her medical history."
 
"I may bring it up later, have a talk with her about it."
>"If you want. She wasn't mean, she was just being fussy."
"Alright. Thank you very much Charon."
>"Happy to help." Charon says with a smile.
>You make your way to the bridge and find all the guys talking with each other.
>"I was a small partier back in school, woke up in some odd places." Sky says.
>"Really? Wondered why you could hold your alcohol so well. Hey Vex." Chaos says.
"Everything alright up here?"
>"Yep," Angel says, "still smooth sailing. Thought we saw a ship but it went away."
>"Of course! Pirates would be stupid to fight us. If they were that is." Chaos says.
 
"Confidence is good but we still shouldn't let our guard down. A little bad luck and a small oversight is all it takes to get us into some real trouble. Keep an eye on the direction the ship went."
>"Right away Vex." Chaos says.
>You move next to Angel.
"How far out are we?"
>"About halfway, another hour."
>"Scope is clear Vex, I'll keep watching though." Chaos says.
"Good, hate to have the Artemis destroyed."
>"Yea, i can't imagine if a ship had the same abilities as that "ghost station". I should look into some good EMP shielding." Sky says.
 
"Try to find the best that you can Sky."
>"I will."
"Could we also upgrade our sensors? And see about helping us stay hidden or at least reduce our signature?"
>Sky looks thoughtful as he nods.
>"Sensors should be easy and cheap, 2000 credits. The rest is a little harder, i could see about reducing our heat and light from the engines."
"Anything else?"
>Sky shakes his head.
>"Not really. The only thing i can think is make a bigger emission to distract the enemy, and even then they could still see us. Cloaking isn't impossible, but it is insanely expensive and i need to find an alternative from the standard method."
 
"We will find a way, but sensors are a priority."
>"I'll get to searching then." Sky says.
>You nod and sit in your captian's chair.
"You guys like donuts?"
>"Yep!"
>"Yea."
>"Yes, why? Got a craveing Vex?" Angel asks.
"Figure we may want to pick some up, you guys have a favourite?"
>"The cream filled ones, the ones with chocolate on top and come from that place that starts with a B." Angel says.
>"Powered jelly." Sky says.
>"Good ole chocolate for me. Also, really Angel? Cream filled?" Chaos snickers.
>"Shut up!"
>You discuss sweet treats for the rest of the ride, arriving at the station and dropping off the delivery.
 
>You find Cobalt and Charon, checking on them and getting their favourite donuts.
>After finding out Charon wants a glazed and Cobalt wants a glazed with sprinkles, you head to check on Fixer.
>You enter her room and hear more music playing as she works, the volume at a more moderate level.
"Hey Fixer, making progress?"
>The tiny mare turns and nods with a smile.
>"Yeh, just need to finish programing it and assemble it. May need somepony to come in and hold still so i can assemble it around them."
>Fixer giggles, returning to her work.
>"A few more hours cap, almost there."
"Good. You have a favourite donut? I'm buying."
>Fixer grins widely.
>"Chocolate with mint frosting. Also i wanted to ask."
>She turns to you with a sly look on her face.
>"There is no dress code on this ship right? A mare won't get fired for cutting her tail to a dangerously short length that is still publicly presentable?"
 
"The only real rule on this ship is ask me before you do something outrageous or life threateningly dangerous."
>You nod at Fixer.
"So go ahead, do as you please."
>Fixer grins widely.
>"Awesome."
>You grin at her.
"Trying to catch the attention of a stallion?"
>Fixer rolls her eyes with a smile.
>"You called me out on Chaos and were right. I wana see if i can grab his full attention, gotta lay it on heavy because well..."
>Fixer gestures to her body.
>"My size has done the same for my sex life as it has for my dream of becoming an alcoholic. Plenty of stallions have called the cops or said no at the fear of me being a filly."
"So i see. Any reason why?"
>Fixer giggles, a blush on her face.
>"Aside from the same interests? I've seen a preview of the goods. I hate being small but i love it at times, i always can get a good view. And all i can say is."
>Fixer whistles.
>"Us mares need to make pinups or do a few poses for the all the boys and get them "standing at attention". Then again, this is coming from the mare who is pleasure starved."
 
"Well, I'm rooting for you Fixer."
>You go to leave and pause for a second.
"Actually, i have an idea, you need a pony in here right?"
>Fixer nods.
"How about i send Chaos in? You could get under him and tease him, say "It's part of the assembly process"."
>Fixer beams at you.
>"Oh you are amazing. Here, for hooking a mare up."
>Fixer passes you a few credits.
>"Use that to buy the donuts."
"Thanks Fixer."
>You leave Fixer and buy the donuts from the station, making sure to get the favourite for each crew member.
>When you get back, you find Sky walking through the halls and give him his donut, continuing the search for the rest of your crew.
>You find all of the others except for Fixer and Sky in the mess.
"Here you go everypony."
>"Yay!"
>"Sweet."
>You turn to Chaos as each of the crew grabs a donut.
"Hey Chaos, Fixer needed some help, can you help her and bring her the other chocolate donut with frosting?"
>"Sure."
>When he walks off, you see Angel take a big bite of his donut.
>"Thanks for this Vex." he says as he chews.
"Thank you captain!"
>"Yes, thank you. Anypony want some berry tea?" Charon asks.
>"Me please." Cobalt says.
 
"I would like one too."
>"Yea, I'll take one." Angel says.
>You levitate your donut infront of you, taking a bite.
>You sit closely to Angel and nuzzle him, getting a peck in return.
"Can i try a bite?"
>"Sure."
>You take a bite of Angel's donut, enjoying the creamy filling.
>Cobalt starts to giggle, looking at you.
"What?"
>"Your face captain." She says pointing a hoof.
>Angel licks your muzzle.
>"Got it. Wait, no..."
>He licks again and again, his licks turning to kisses.
>You can't help but giggle at his assault, Angel not letting up for a second.
>"Here you two lovers go." Charon says, sliding some tea towards you and Angel.
>You all drink and chat for a little bit, relaxing while you can, Angel nuzzleing you constantly.
>When finished you have Angel begin to pilot the ship towards the destination for the artillery mission.
>After another hour, Fixer approaches you on the bridge, a grin on her face.
>"He's ready cap."
 
"Alright everypony, spread the word and suit up. Angel, you get ready once we land."
>"You got it Vex."
>You get up and nuzzle him, being stopped as you pull away.
>"Ah. Not yet." Angel says.
>He pulls you in, giving you a big kiss. and holding you tightly with a hoof.
>Angel gives you a wink when he breaks the kiss, his eyes full of love.
>"There, now you can go."
>You smile back at him and give a kiss back, following Fixer when you can.
>The two of you walk, Fixer grinning.
"How did the fitting go? Like the better view?"
>You can feel lust from Fixer as you both walk.
>"Goddess, like it? I loved it. He has a big pair on him. Mare to mare, I can't even imagine the size of the load he shoots. Even the the tip of his "cannon" was quite the size."
"Oh? Did you "accidentally" touch something?"
>"More than once. Made him fidget and poke out a little, but i think he didn't know he was showing. I had to stop myself from blowing him when i saw that tip of his. I honestly wonder how he stacks up to Angel, if you care to share some time."
>The two of you round the corner to the cargo bay and see Chaos, the ammount of equipment making him look nearly twice his size.
>He stands proud with the exoskeleton over his armor, sporting the machine gun and the tank cannon, a large helmet on his head.
>"This thing is fucking awesome." Chaos says as he looks at the cannon.
 
"Holy shit Chaos, that looks awesome."
>"I know!"
>You walk around Chaos, getting a full view of the hydrolic joints and mechanical parts.
>You prod the machinery, the joints holding firmly in place.
"How was it getting it on?"
>Chaos clears his throat, a bit of lust coming from him.
>"Fine, just took a long time."
>"Had to make sure everything was secure!" Fixer says with a grin.
"Will it be hard to get on and off? Will he need help?"
>"A little. The gun is still super heavy, don't want him getting hurt or breaking the gun, more so when we add the armor plates. But he can drop the gun in an emergency if need be."
>"Doubt i will."
"How long would it take to get on or off?"
>"Now? Two minutes. Five when we have all the armor on it."
>You look at the cannon again, smileing.
"I can't wait to see this in action and firing some rounds. Ready to try the new toy Chaos?"
>"Oh hell yes!"
>"Cool, now tell me how to work it." Fixer says.
Chaos nods, pulling down the helmet over his eyes.
>"Green means ready, yellow means reloading, and red means it's jammed. Use the targeting and zoom feature so i hit dead on. And it won't shoot unless i bite down on the clamp thingy first."
>Fixer turns to you with a smile.
>"Yep, he's ready to rock."
 
>You go and get equipped yourself, heading back to the cargo bay when ready.
>When Angel lands the ship and arrives, the door of the cargo bay opens to a hot and sand filled environment.
>As the crew heads out and admires the new machinery Chaos is hauling, you hold Fixer back a little.
"Judging by the emotions i felt from Chaos when i asked about getting that thing on, I'd say he would have enjoyed a little suck from you."
>Fixer beams as her lust grows again, getting a mischievous look on her face.
>"Thanks cap, never had a wingmare before."
>You give her flank a nudge with yours and catch up with the others.
>You all walk through the hot enviroment, following the directions given.
>Within a few minutes, you find a group of 15 ponies, all in uniform.
>They all quickly point their weapons at you and your crew, most switching to Chaos when he gets into view.
>"Hold fire!" One of them shouts, looking at your crew.
>The soldiers keep their guard up as he approaches you.
>"You the mercs?"
"Yes, the name is Vex."
>He gives the soldiers a signal and they stand down, all of them still watching your crew.
>"Sargent Green, 165th batallion. You get the easy job of destroying the hard targets. Not sure what you have to help us, but if it is what he has, there is a large dune hill that can give a vantage point."
>He points a hoof to Chaos then a large sand dune.
>"Just take out the targets we designate and be ready if they come after you. Also, there is a sharpshooter somewhere in the colony that we can't find, so watch your head. Any questions?"
 
"What does he look like? or do you just know he is a sharpshooter?"
>"Just that he is just a sharpshooter, we can't get a track on him or tell where he is shooting. We are trying to avoid major collateral damage too, otherwise we would just blow the entire place up."
"So you want him dead then?"
>The sargent holds up a hoof, five metal tags wrapped around it.
>"Dead. I'd love to have the bastard alive so i can castrate him, but i'm not wanting to lose my job."
"Right, we will go set up on that hill then."
>"Raidio us when ready."
>He gives you the frequency and you and your crew head for the large dune, keeping behind the sandy hills to avoid being spotted.
>Once at the top of the large dune, Chaos pulls the visor of the helmet down.
>The gun makes a few clicking noises and part of it swings back, a large shell being loaded with a metalic sound.
>"We ready?" Chaos asks.
>"Ohhhhh shit, here we go." Fixer says, grinning widely.
 
"Sargent Green, we are set up, Name your target."
>"Small building with the red flag, there is a machine gun nest there. We will move when it is destroyed."
"Chaos?"
>"I heard him." Chaos says with a smile.
>He positions himself just behind the top of the dune, pointing the barrel over it and peaking up with his head.
>"Red flag, there it is. Let's see what this thing can do."
>With a tremendous bang, the cannon goes off, sending the sand around Chaos flying.
>"Sweet Luna's ass!"
>"Fuck!"
>"H-holy shit!"
>You look over the dune as the sand settles, Angel looking at the distruction with you.
>The building is nothing but rubble and fire, smoke coming from what is left.
"Nice shot Chaos!"
>"Fuck me!" Angel shouts "That thing is fucking sweet!"
>"Vex, this is Green, We are moving in. We can see two vehicles with troops headed your way, they must have seen the sand you kicked up. Next target is the small house with another machine gun in it, the one that is shooting."
 
"You heard him Chaos, keep shooting."
>"With pleasure."
>The cannon clicks and pulls back again, a large shell dropping into the sand.
"Everypony get ready! We have company!"
>As your crew gets into position, another bang sounds from the cannon, a metalic sound following.
>The sound of engines come from over the dunes, two vehicles rolling over them.
>The vehicles stop and all kinds of armored ponies and griffons hop out, your crew shooting at them and dropping four of them.
>You and your crew quickly duck down behind the dune as the unknown force returns fire, ballistic rounds and laser beams coming from them as they use the vehicles as cover.
>"I count 13 Vex!" Angel shouts.
>"12!" Fixer says, blowing on her laser pistol.
 
"Fixer! How many shots does Chaos have?"
>"15! So with what he shot it should be around 13!"
>Another bang sounds from Chaos, more sand flying.
>"12!" Fixer shouts.
>You radio the sargent.
"Green! how many targets do you need taken out?"
>"At least eight."
>You turn to Chaos, seeing another round load into the cannon.
"Chaos, Shoot the vehicles!"
>Chaos backs off from the top of the dune and moves over to you, standing over the edge of where your team is taking cover.
>As his shield takes hits, he fires a round at one of the vehicles, making it explode.
>The vehicle flips and lands on some of the enemies, screams sounding from them.
>Chaos holds his ground ontop of the dune, yelling and spraying his machine gun at the remaining seven enemies.
 
"Shoot them!"
>You and your crew all fire at the remaining vehicle, the enemies not daring to come out of cover.
>The shots start to damage the vehicle, causing it to catch fire and explode.
>When the sand and smoke settle, you see many dead bodies and lots of blood.
>You signal the brothers and take a closer look, seeing none of them are alive.
"Alright, back into position Chaos."
>You all get back to the top if the dune, Chaos in position.
"Green, next target?"
>"Targets are three armored vehicles, they have us pinned."
>"Got it." Chaos says, the cannon loading another round.
>He aims and fires again, grinning widely.
>"Today is a good day!" He shouts.
>There is a small flash as the cannon reloads, Chaos's shield dropping.
>"Woah, what just happened?"
>Some of the ground near Chaos spits up suddenly, showering him with sand.
 
"It's the sharpshooter!"
>Most of your crew dives for cover as you fly over to Chaos, protecting him as you charge your illumination spell.
"Everypony eyes shut!"
>You cast the spell, causing a very bright light to shine.
>The ground spits up again, this tine further away from you and your crew.
"Look for him! Be careful."
>You watch as you protect Chaos, the shots from the sharp shooter whizzing past you or hitting the sand at the top of the dune.
>Cobalt peaks her head over and ducks down when the sand jumps up again.
>"I think he can't see too well anymore."
>"I'm good Vex." Chaos says.
>You move down and keep looking around, trying to see the sharpshooter.
"Green, new target?"
>"Still the vehicles! We are getting a little torn up!"
>"I got it Vex." Chaos says as he fires the cannon again.
>You catch a glimpse of a small light from a tall building in the colony as you look around, your shield suddenly dropping.
 
"Shit!"
>You dive back down, getting back into cover.
>"You good Vex?" Angel asks.
"Yes. I found the shooter, tell me when you are ready to fire Chaos."
>The cannon pulls back again to reload, the spent round landing with a metal on metal sound as it hits another shell.
>"Locked and loaded." Chaos says.
"Alright, try to shoot him. Fifth floor, third window from the right. Everypony, get ready to suppress him so Chaos gets a clear shot."
>You radio Green.
"Just hold on for a second Green."
>You shield finishes recharging. and you ready your plasma rifle.
"Go!"
>You and your crew all pop out and shoot at the building, shots hitting everywhere.
>A loud bang sounds as Chaos fires, a large portion of the fifth floor exploding and falling to the ground.
>"There we go!" Sky shouts.
>You see Chaos quickly turn his attention back to the last vehicle, loading and firing at it.
>The radio comes to life again.
>"Thanks Vex, we are moving." Green says.
>"Fucking bastard, hope he is dead. We really should buy a sniper rifle" Angel sighs as he looks at the building.
 
"We can only hope he is dead, and yes we should."
>You radio Green yet again.
"Next target Green?"
>"Almost there, another machine gun nest."
>"On it." Chaos says.
>As Chaos fires away, you keep watch of the tower, no more flashes or shots being seen.
>Cobalt keeps peeking over the dune, watching the tower with you.
>"I think Chaos got him."
>"We could always shoot another round to be sure." Fixer says.
"Wait and see, let's not waste the ammo."
>"Alright Vex, just two more vehicles and we should be good!" Green says through the radio.
 
"Alright, just two more everypony, we are almost there."
>"Here we go." Chaos says, repositioning himself.
>Two more times the Chaos fires the cannon, hiting his mark both times.
>"Alright, keep ready incase there is more!" Green says.
"Understood."
>You watch the colony from the dune, hearing small gunfire in the distance.
>For the next half hour you wait in the blazing sun, the gunfire continuing.
>Eventually it stops, the raidio coming to life with Green's voice again.
>"Alright, that is it. Good job Vex." he says.
 
"Good, we got that sharpshooter earlier."
>"Really?"
"Yes, in the large building on the fifth floor. You could find his body if you want to."
>"I may. I owe you a drink."
"Are we good to leave?"
>"Yes, and thanks for the help."
>You and your crew begin to make your way back to the ship, you walking next to Chaos.
"So how was it Chaos? Did you like the cannon?"
>"I love it! it was easy to control. I get to name it right?" He says with a smile.
"Maybe. Be sure to thank Fixer, Give her a hug."
>You watch as Chaos quickly runs over and wraps a hoof around Fixer, giving her a tight hug.
>"Build more amazing things!" Chaos laughs.
>You can see fixer grinning widely, taking a moment to eye up Chaos.
>You all get aboard the ship, you and your crew all sweating from the heat.
 
"Alright everypony, good work. You are all free to do as you want. Hate to ask Angel, think you could get us back to Trident?"
>"Yeah, just let me get some water first."
>You check your accounts, seeing that the money from the job went through.
"Fixer, can you add the armor to the exo when you have a chance? Later though."
>You give her the credits needed and she smiles.
>"No prob cap."
>You all get out of your equipment and armor, some of your crew covered in sand.
>Just before she leaves you pull Cobalt to the side.
"Hey Cobalt, i wanted to ask, would you be comfortable with a sniper rifle?"
>She brushes sand out of her mane, giving a shrug.
>"I don't know, i never used one. Why?"
"I was thinking of having you be our sniper."
>Cobalt smiles brightly at you.
>"Anything for my captain, I will try if you want me to."
 
"We will go later and check out some rifles. I'll buy you one you like and you can practice with it."
>"Sure!"
>You nuzzle Cobalt and get a giggle from her, getting nuzzles in return.
"You are great, you know that?"
>Cobalt blushes and smiles at you.
>"Well... you know. Anything for my captain."
>She gives a wink and skips off.
>You head to the bridge to find Angel, seeing he is alone on the bridge.
>He turns and smiles when he sees you.
>"What's a pretty mare like you doing here?"
"Looking to see my handsome stallion."
>You move next to him and get several kisses, Angel nuzzleing you as he pilots.
"Question, does Chaos ever talk about Fixer?"
>Angel shrugs.
>"He did once or twice, he asked what age i think she is and what stuff she could build. Why?"
"I think they would be perfect for each other, they both love weapons."
>"Ha, true. Now my turn, we have the rest of the day off right?"
"Possibly, why?"
>"Because somepony still owes me the treatment she gave a certain batpony."
>Angel grins as he gets a red tint to his face.
>"And i will shamefully admit that i want some more of those scratches you gave to my ears."
 
>You transform your hoof into a diamond dog paw again, tapping your chin with one of the digits.
"I don't know... i do remember something about me being pampered, we have quite the conundrum."
>Angel laughs.
>"Fair enough, you will get yours and i can get mine. Let's go to your room when we dock."
"Sure, want some back scratches too?"
>"Maybe."
>You and Angel chat the rest of the way, eventually docking back at the station.
>You both head to your quarters, Angel nuzzling you the entire way.
>When you get to your room, Angel holds back to lock the door.
>"No disruptions." He says with a smile.
>He climbs onto the bed with you and gives a deep kiss, rubbing your shoulders with a hoof.
>When he breaks it, he gives a relaxed sigh.
>"So then, mares first? The other half of your pampering needs to wait a little though, you may want to sleep after i give you this treat." He says with a wink.
 
"Better be careful Angel, i'm intrigued and my hopes are high. I hope you can deliver."
>"Please, i am a stallion of my word. Lay on your stomach so i can get to work."
>You follow Angel's instructions, resting your head on a pillow as you lay with your back facing up.
>You feel pressure on your lower back, Angel straddling you.
>You can feel his hooves against your back, massaging you with a mix of gentleness and firmness.
"A massage Angel?"
>"Yes, i said i would pamper you and i intend to do so. This is just to get you warmed up though."
>He works away for awhile, not being as good as the mares at the spa, but still making you relax.
>You give a long sigh, Angel leaning over closer to your head and whispering in your ear.
>"So, before i give you your treat, any little requests? Anything my mare wishes to indulge in?"
>He gives your horn a long and slow lick.
 
>You give a shiver at the sensation of his tongue.
"Suprise me."
>Angel is silent for a moment, then gives a soft chuckle.
>"Well, nopony will know..."
>You gasp as Angel suddenly starts to suck on your horn, making you shiver and squirm.
>He continues to laugh softly, semingly growing more eager as he gets noises from you.
>He stops and turns you over, looming over you with a smile.
>"Now..."
>Angel kisses you muzzle and moves down to your jaw, beginning to nip as he reaches your neck.
>He stops there for a moment and gives a tiny bite, licking the same spot as he makes you moan.
>He gives a few more kisses, bites, and licks before continuing down your body.
>He slows down the lower he goes, finally stopping and placing a kiss on the inside of your hind leg.
>"Hold still if you can."
>Angel grins before lowering his head, slowly running his tongue along your marehood.
"Ohhh~"
>You let out a moan again, Angel seming to have his tongue linger as he finds more sensitive spots.
>He picks up pace, lapping almost hungrily at your marehood, playing with your flanks as he does.
>You move your hooves to his head as he preses his tongue inside of you, beginning to pant.
"Angel!~"
>Your body shakes as Angel makes you orgasim, not stopping when you do.
>You start to lose track of things as Angel continues his assault on you with his tongue, panting or moaning the entire time.
>He finally lets up after he pushes you over the edge for a third time.
>You look down at the stallion and see him smiling at you, licking the wet areas around his muzzle.
>"How you feeling?"
 
"Like the happiest mare in space, but also content."
>"Content? i'll need to change that."
>Angel gives a slow lick along your marehood again, making you moan.
>He stops and licks around his face again, grinning at you.
>"But i will let you rest a little first before I start the second part. You will either have an extra good sleep tonight if you can stay up or have a very good morning if you fall asleep."
>Angel crawls back up to you and kisses you, giving a nuzzle before laying next to you.
>"I love you pretty mare."
"And i love you too my handsome stallion."
>You nuzzle him back, looking into his eyes.
"Angel, what do you think of us and our relationship?"
>He smiles at you.
>"That we are the best thing in this universe. If you know a film director, get him in hear so he can steal what I'm about to say."
>Angel moves closer to you.
>"I'v known you for a short time, but i know that you are the greatest mare i have ever met. It started out as just sex, but something in my head clicked that night when we were watching shows and you fell asleep against me. When i went to leave after bringing you to your room, it felt wrong, i wanted to stay and did. It all has happened quick as hell and i don't know what it is, but i am crazy for you. We may have fun with other ponies, but i still would rather have you over the hottest mare that ever existed."
>Angel sighs.
>"It's insane for me to say all this, considering how short a time we have known each other, but it is how i feel. I love you very much Vex."
>You smile at Angel, feeling the love from him.
"And what do you want for the future?"
>Angel goes a little red, smiling softly.
>He holds your hoof.
>"To stay."
>Angel kisses your forehead.
>"What about you Vex? What are your thoughts and wants?"
 
"Many things. Continue our adventures and line of work, have more fun, find a certain pony named Rune. But ultimately? I want to be with you, find a place for us to live together."
>The love from Angel seems to increase tenfold at your words, Angel smiling at you.
>"I pick the location and you pick the house?"
"Sure."
>You smile at him, tracing circles on his chest.
"But there is something else, something important i need to tell you."
>Angel gives you a curious look.
"The ghost station we found, the one with the labs, do you remember the pegasus from there? Faded Memories? She gave me a genetic mod, a very speical one. I wanted to ask you something before i use it."
>"Oh? What is that?"
>You heart pounds like a jackhammer.
"Angel, would you like to be a dad in the future?"
>Angel blinks a little, his face a mixture of shock and surprise.
>"Sorry, run that by me again. What?"
"Would you like to be a dad at some point? The genetic mod Memories gave me would let me get pregnant from you, we would be compatible and it is safe. I haven't used it yet, but if i did and if you wanted to..."
>You pull yourself closer to Angel, your face burning.
"...I could have your foals. We could have foals."
>Angel's face looks thoughtful as he stares at you, looking off at another direction from time to time.
>Angel sighs, looking at you.
>"Well, let me ask you something."
>He finally smiles and kisses you, still holding your hoof.
>"What would you want mama Vex? Filly or colt?"
 
"I don't care, i just want to see our foals be healthy. I think a better question is how many we should have, how about three?"
>"Three huh? I could work with that. and don't you worry, our foals will be strong and healthy."
>Angel laughs softly.
>"Our foals... honestly never thought I'd hear or say that."
"It's something to look forward to."
>"It does, and untill we are ready we can just practice"
>Angel winks at you, smiling.
>You both nuzzle, Angel stareing into your eyes.
>He kisses you again, pulling you close.
>"So, how tired are you? Do you want the other part of your pampering now, in the morning, or later? Because right now, i plan on being more passionate with it."
 
"You weren't being passionate before? I'm hurt Angel."
>You grin at Angel playfully.
>"Come on." Angel says with a smile.
>You giggle and give him a kiss.
"Tonight, tomorrow we will sleep in. Just tell me what i need to do."
>"Alright two things. First, on your back again."
>You do as instructed, Angel positioning himself over you.
"And the second?"
>"Say you love me."
>You laugh a little and nod, wrapping your hooves around the back of Angel's neck.
"I love you Angel."
>Angel kisses you deeply, the two of you wrestling your tongues.
>The kiss seems to be unending, lasting forever untill you feel a wet sensation on your stomach.
>You break the kiss and look down, seeing Angel's member at full length and dripping some precum on you.
>A hoof directs your gaze back to Angel's face, the stallion smiling lovingly at you.
>He pulls back and pushes into you slowly and gently, his actions feeling oddly intense for how simple they are.
>You make a few noises as he hilts you, still feeling sensitive from earlier.
>Angel pulls out half way and pushes back into you, giving kisses as he does.
>Angel picks up his pace, not breaking eye contact the few times that you are not kissing.
>You take the time to feed off of him a little, filling up on the huge amount of love.
>You both begin to pant and make various noises, your climax fast approaching.
>Angel gets up to a vigorous pace, grunting and groaning loudly.
>"Vex!"
>As he unloads into you, you reach your own limit and pull Angel in for another kiss.
>The two of you ride out your organisms and Angel topples over next to you, the both of you panting.
>Angel nuzzles you and holds you tightly, the both of you wordlessly falling asleep.
>As you sleep, you could have sworn you were in a field with Angel, watching two colts and a filly playing tag.

Ranged:5
Magic: 20
Stealth: 5
Speech: 10
 
>You stir as you wake from your dreams, your eyelids feeling insanely heavy.
>A peck on the lips makes you flutter your eyes open, Angel smiling at you.
>You can feel that the two of you are completely tangled, both your hind legs and forehooves around each other.
>"See? I'm here keeping you warm this time."
>He gives another peck, holding you tighter.
>"Did my pretty mare sleep well?"
 
"I did, but i'm still tired."
>You nuzzle into his chest.
"So i want to stay like this for awhile."
>"and i'd love to stay with you." Angel says.
>You sigh happily, relaxing against his chest.
>You transform your hoof into a diamond dog paw and give Angel's ears a soft scratch, making him hum a little.
>You can feel his hind leg twitch a little as you scratch away.
"Does my stallion like that?"
>You scratch a tiny bit faster, getting Angel to hang his head back.
>His eyes close as he basks in the scratches, his voice jumping out of tune a little.
>"He looOOOoooves it, pleeeeeese don't stop."
 
>You keep scratching and transform your other hoof, scratching Angel's other ear.
>"Ahhhhhhhhh."
>You move to down the side of his head to his jaw, scratching him the entire way.
"Like putty in my paws."
>Angel's face goes red at your words, trying and failing to get his leg under control.
>You giggle and stop scratching.
"You will get much more later tonight, i promise."
>Angel smiles and nods, looking excited.
>The two of you have a shower and head to the mess, the entire crew there and eating.
"Good morning everypony."
>"Morning you two."
>"Good morning captain!"
>"Morning."
>You grab yourself and Angel some food and coffee, Angel nuzzling you and giving a kiss.
>"Hey cap, give me an hour when we are done eating and i will finish the armor for the exo." Fixer says.
 
"I look forward to it Fixer, i'm sure Chaos will too."
>"Hell yea." Chaos says.
>"Hey Chaos, i wanted to ask, think you could help me with the armor?" Fixer asks with a sly grin.
>Chaos freezes up a little before nodding.
>"Sure, i don't mind."
>You look at Cobalt, seeing her munch on a bag of gummies.
"Cobalt, when we are done would you like to look at some sniper rifles?"
>"Sure!"
"Anypony else want to come along for shoping? Angel?"
>"I'll tag along, may stop and ask about some implants and genetic mods." Angel says.
>"I will come along, i want to buy some herbs." Charon says.
 
>You take the last bite of your food and get up.
"Well then, if we have nothing to stop us. You just going to relax today Sky?"
>"Probably. May run a few numbers and look at ideas."
"Alright. Be sure to listen to Fixer Chaos, I want to see that suit fully armored and working."
>Chaos looks a little flustered as he nods, Fixer grinning widely.
>The four of you head out and to the stores, Charon splitting off at some point.
>Angel stays with you and Cobalt, all of you looking at the weapon stores.
>"So, why sniper rifles?" He asks.
>"Vex wants me to try and be a sniper!"
>Angel nods.
>"Not a bad idea actually, your ears would let you know if a pony was trying to sneak up on you. Might I suggest balistic snipers for our little sharpshooter? A silencer on it would do us good."
>"I would like that a little, something that could more ear friendly would be nice."
"Let's have a look then."
>You all enter the store and talk to the pony at the counter, the mare letting Cobalt try the three rifles they have.
>Cobalt goes through the bolt action, semi-automatic, and fully automatic snipers.
>You check the prices as she shoots, and check your accounts.
>You have 13450 credits
>Bolt action balistic sniper: 8000
>Semi-auto balistic sniper: 10000
>Full-auto balistic sniper: 10000
>You watch Cobalt as she finishes and sets the last rifle down.
>She walks up to you and shows you the paper targets.
>The bolt and semi rifles are in a near tie for acuracy, the bolt winning by a little bit.
>"I don't like that last one." Cobalt says, looking at the fully automatic rifle.
>You look at the target for the rifle, seeing shots hitting everywhere.
 
"How about the semi-automatic one?"
>Cobalt nods.
>"I kinda liked that one better, it feels lighter."
>You purchase the rifle and give it to Cobalt.
>She looks at it curiously, a smile on her face.
>"Looks like she like it," Angel says with a laugh, "now it just needs a silencer. I'm going to take a look at my stuff now, i'll be back in a minute."
>He gives you a kiss on the cheek before headding to another store.
>Cobalt follows you to the spell store, happily looking at her new rifle.
>When you get to the store, you find that the place is a mess, shattered glass all over the place.
>Books waves to you, looking displeased.
>"Sorry, there was a break in after i got a new shipment. I still have some spells if you want to buy."
>He gives you a list of avaliable
spells.
>Fire ball: 1000
>Ice spike: 1000
>Muffle: 5000 (limits sounds within a small area)
>Barrier: 3000 (bullet stopping shield.)
>Adrenaline rush: 2000 (Faster movement and full alertness.)
>Bone mending: 2000
>Gender changer 8000
 
>You buy the barrier spell book
"What happened? Do you know who broke in?"
>Books nods.
>"Yes, i caught them on tape. I'm trying to get an investigator to actually come and help me, i'm not quite capable enough to get them back myself."
"Did they get anything important?"
>"Some good spells, the more adult and rare spells are in a safe thankfully."
>You say goodbye and leave the store, catching Angel just as he exits the store he was in.
>Once you find Charon and make a quick candy stop for Cobalt, you all head back to the ship.
>When you arrive, you open up the job list.
>Parts shipping: 3000 credits.
>Engine shipping: 2000 credits.
>Ship protector wanted: 5000 credits.
>Murder Investigator wanted: 6000 credits.
 
>You accept the shipping jobs and open the details for the other two.
>The protector job wants a ship to guard a team as they secure resource rich asteroids.
>The murder investigation has a mare trying to find out who killed her husband.
>As you consider how to do things, and the possibility of splitting up the crew for jobs, you give books a call.
>"Hello?"
"Hey books, it's Vex, the changeling that you recomended the spa to and asked about the break in."
>"Oh! Hello, i was wondering what your name was. Do you need something?"
"Actually i want to help you a little. I was wondering that if i got your books back that you would let me have some as a reward."
>"That would save me some time and a tremendous ammount of money, these investigators are charging an outrageous price! If you can help get the books back, i'll let you choose three spells from my stock to keep. I'll send you a picture of the thieves in a moment."
>As promised, Books sends the picture, two young and familiar looking unicorns in it.
 
>You check to see if there is a location specified in the job description, seeing that it is in a remote part of space where some pirates are sighted
>You assemble the crew and explain the jobs, some of them nodding.
>"Well, we definitely can handle some pirates if they come our way." Angel says.
>"Yea, the artemis can handle a few ships. We only need three ponies" Sky says.
>"I'm sure that if i had some help i could handle doing a small investigation, But i don't know how much i will be able to do." Charon says.
"There is one last thing, the spell store here had a break in. Angel, take a look at the culprits."
>You slide a data pad to Angel, his jaw dropping.
>"These two colts? Seriously?"
>"Who?" Chaos asks.
>"The two beginers that attacked me and Vex to try and get our bounty."
>"Oh."
>"If i can't go, take Chaos if you want to. they need to have the piss scared out of them."
"Maybe. So do we all understand what the jobs are and think we could handle them?"
>Your crew agrees, all of them nodding.
>"So Vex, who is doing what?" Angel asks.
 
"Angel, Sky, and Cobalt can do the ship missions. Charin and Fixer, you two can go and start investigating the murder. Make sure you console the wife Charon, get her to open up to you and know that you can be trusted. Also Angel, can you give Charon your shield to borrow? Just to be safe."
>"Sure thing Vex."
>"We will get it done captain Vex." Charon says.
"Lastly, me and Chaos will go after the two punks, i bet they have taken the time to read some of the books they stole."
>"Cool." Chaos says.
>You all gear up and exit the ship, Chaos readying his grenade launcher and machine gun.
>"Nothing like some quality time with the captain." Chaos says with a smile, "So, where would two junior mercenaries that need a spanking hang out or hide? they would need a place to store those books."
 
"We could ask at the markets here, probably near where me and Angel first ran into them, it was near some housing."
>"Think they ran home?"
"Possibly, let's go."
>You and Chaos head towards the area where you went after the fugitive, finding the crowds to be more manageable.
>You split up and go vendor to vendor, describing the two stallions.
>One vendor recognizes the description and says that he has seen them around often.
>As you turn to search more, Chaos approaches you.
>"Guess what? Stallions will be stallions. Our friends like to regular the local bar and hit on mares."
 
"Of course. Let's go and find them, but you should stay outside, they may recognize you as Angel."
>"Fair enough."
>You give your gear to Chaos and begin to transform.
>You get a clever idea as you disguise yourself, transforming into Fixer.
>Chaos glances away as you stretch and flex.
"Come on big guy, let's have some fun."
>You give an extra sway in your walk, feeling some lust from Chaos as you do.
>"That is a bad disguise Vex, you know that right?"
"Why? hate how Fixer looks?"
>"Ha ha. And no, you're just kinda small. Will probably get kicked out of the bar small." Chaos says, looking flustured.
"Damn, good point."
>You transform again, mimicking the unicorn mare you transformed into for Angel.
>Once you get to the bar, you head inside and look around.
>The stallions aren't hard to spot, the bar being a little small with a classical theme.
>A some ponies are around them as they preform some magic spells, only a few beer bottles in front of them.
 
>You approach the crowd, seeing Some flames dance in the air.
>You look towards a stallion that is watching.
"What is going on?"
>"These two are doing some impressive displays of magic use."
>You look over, watching as the stallions make two small dragon looking beings fly around, one made of fire and the other of water.
"Oooh, how many have they done?"
>"Quite a few, none of them the same."
>You watch as the two "dragons" begin to fight a little, the stallions keeping up an excellent display of control.
>They change their tricks and make a miniture fountain, and then a small ship made of salt.
>You move to the bartender and order a drink for yourself and each of the stallions.
>You watch a waitress deliver the drinks, the stallions giveing her a confused look when they get them.
>They say someting and the waitress points a hoof towards you, the stallions looking at you.
>You give them a seductive look and wink at them, getting their attention.
>When you take a drink, the stallions appoach you with friendly smiles.
>"Like the show?" One of them asks.
"I did, it was impressive. You two really should go into show buisness, you both have the looks for it."
>"Like what you see and saw do you? Well let's improve on that opinion." the other says.
>You watch as one manipulates water and the other freezes it, making a tiny ice statue of a unicorn mare.
>"Not bad eh? though the real beauty in front of me looks much better." The first one says with a wink.
>You blush and flick his cutiemark with your tail, giving a giggle.
>The first puts a hoof around you.
>"So tell me, what would it take to really impress a cutie like you?"
>"Scuse him, he's a little mare hungry."
>"Aww come on. Seriously, how does a stallion make a mare like you smile?"
 
"Well, how about some more tricks? I'd love it if you could teach me."
>"Ahhh, I'd usually say no, but i think i can make an exception for you cute stuff."
>They put on a few more tricks and teach you how to do the water dragon trick, most of it being telekinesis.
>You keep flirting and enjoying their tricks, one being more talkative then the other.
>You passively feed on their building lust, not being able to actively feed and drain them quicker without being noticed.
>At one point, you can see some fatigue set in for both of them.
"You two are amazing! i don't know how you two can keep this up."
>"Practice." the quiet one shrugs.
"Well you two certainly have quite the magical stamina but..."
>You rub up against the other stallion.
"Think you two could how a mare some physical stamina? Maybe teach her some more magic tricks?"
>Both the young stallions smile, lust coming from both of them as they nod.
"Give a mare a moment and we can go somewhere private then."
>You head to the bathroom and radio Chaos, infroming him of the plan.
>You head back to the stallions and they lead you out of the bar.
>The stallions lead you to an apartment not too far away, one of them levitateing you up the stairs.
>Once inside their apparent, you see that it is nicely kept, a few small crates off to the side.
>"Excuse the crates, it's a job we are doing."
"What kind of job? What is inside of the crates?"
>"Just helping with some shipping of magic books. You can read some if you come back before they go, but for now."
>The stallion grins widely.
>"How about we display our physical stamina?"
>The more talkative stallion kisses you, the other giving your neck a few pecks.
 
>You kiss back and then go after the quiet stallion, smiling at both of them.
"You two are going to love this, time for me to show you two my magic."
>You give each of the young stallions a jolt of the lust inducer spell, the effects nearly instant.
>Both stallions become flushed, their breathing sounding heavy and primal as their faces grow red, the more talkative one alredy having his member pop out.
>They both become much more agressive with their kissing, one of them moving to the back of you.
>You lift him up with your magic, setting him on the couch in the room.
"Ahh, ahhhh. Not yet, there is much more i need to do."
>You get them both on the couch and begin to feed on them, aggressively draining them while making sure you don't notice the fatigue.
>"What is this one?"
"Something to enhance the experience. You won't notice it right away, but you two will love what happens."
>"How about we just get to the main event?"
>You blast them both with the lust spell again, both the members of the stallions standing tall and proud.
"Trust me."
>You kiss both the stallions again, pressing your tounge against theirs in a sloppy make out.
>You keep draining them and give them a lust boost when needed, being able to keep your own magic fatigue from draining quickly as you do.
>You watch the stallions display eager signs of want as you hold them back, the quiet one already leaking precum.
>The more talkitive one begin to stroke himself, giving in to the lust spell.
>Seeing as they sill have some energy, you hold his hooves back with magic and fire another lust spell at him.
>"Nnnnnuh, this is torture." he whines, giving a groan.
"And do you like it?"
>He nods as he whines again, his member twitching.
>You keep going and feel only slightly fatigued as you pull back, inspecting your work.
>Both stallions look ready to fall asleep, looking content as they pant from the lust spell.
 
>You crank up your feeding, causing both the stallions to pass out.
>You radio Chaos in and he kicks down the door, looking suprised when he sees the stallions.
>"What the hell did you do?"
"Kept them distracted and drained them of their energy. I made them pass out without even laying a hoof on them."
>Chaos laughs.
>"Wow Vex, magic?"
"Magic and possibly a few kisses, gotta keep up the act."
>"Fair enough."
>You open the crates and look at the books, all of them having a label from the store that Books owns.
>Ice spike, electric shock, rapid healing, magic jammer, bone mending, the list of spells goes on.
>"So, what now Vex? We bring the books back? What about these two?" Chaos asks.
"One second."
>You give Angel a call, hearing Cobalt in the background when he answers.
>"Wheeeeeeee!"
>"Hey pretty mare, things alright?"
"Yes, we are done here, what about you guys? Are you back?"
>"Last delivery, the protection job went well and we won against two ships. I'd say about half an hour before we get back."
 
"That's great! What is Cobalt doing? She sounds like she is having fun.
>"Sitting in your chair, spinning in circles. I think Cobalt is letting the power of the chair go to her head."
>"Arrr matey, that's captain Cobalt to you!"
>"Aye, aye." Angel laughs, "We will be back soon Vex."
"See you then."
>You turn back to Chaos and see he has tied the two stallions up.
>"So then, what about these two? Do we want to bring them back to the ship or just turn them in? Because i bet you have a few choice words for them."
 
"Let's just turn them in, they are suipid and incompetent. i doubt they would actually listen to what i would say and get their act together."
>"Fair enough, i suppose they will get smacked around a little in jail anyways."
>You put your equipment back on and carry one of the stallions, Chaos getting the other.
>Though it fatigues you, you use your magic to carry the small crates as well.
>You quickly turn in the two trouble makers in, providing proof of their crime with the picture you have.
>You tell an officer to give them a note when they awake, the note telling them to try a better line of work in magic entertainment.
>You quickly proceed to the spell store, Books looking ecstatic when he sees you arrive.
>He quickly thanks you and begins going through the crates to check the spell books.
>As he looks through them, you give Fixer a call.
"Hey Fixer, it's Vex. How is the investigation going?"
>"Hey cap, and not bad. The doc is pretty good, i think i actually may be alright with her. The poor mare is a high class type that just wants to know who did it and we have a lead. I'm putting my hacking skills to work now, it will be an hour or two but if all goes well we may crack this."
"Good to hear."
>"I need to focus, see ya soon cap."
>Chaos turns to you as you end the call.
>"They doing alright?"
>You smile teasingly.
"Yes Chaos, your marefriend is fine. You can give her a big smooch and have some alone time when she gets back."
>Chaos shakes his head with a smile, looking embarrassed.
>Books approaches you with a smile.
>"Thank you Vex, they are all there, you have saved me so much money. As promised you can choose three spells as a reward."
>Fire ball
>Ice spike
>Muffle (limits sounds within a small area)
>Adrenaline rush (Faster movement and full alertness.)
>Bone mending
>Gender changer
 
>You point to the three spells, making sure Chaos doesn't see the gender changer.
>"Be careful with the special spell," Books whispers, "it is permanent unless you or another unicorn reverses it, it won't loose effect over time like the other special spell you bought."
"Thanks, i'll remember."
>You say goodbye to Books and head back to the docks.
>You see your ship there when you get back, Angel, Cobalt, and Sky waiting.
>Angel trots up to you and gives you a nuzzle.
>"I missed you pretty mare, it's not so fun piloting without you giving the orders."
 
>You nuzzle Angel back.
"I missed you too."
>You hug him and whisper in his ear.
"Just wait, you are going to get more ear scratches like i promised."
>Angel smiles and nods when you pull away, pulling out some credits after.
>"Here you go, just gotta make a call before it gets too late and i'll be yours."
"Thank you Angel."
>While your crew takes care of their own things, you read your spell books, having an easier time learning the new spells.
>When you finish, you head outside to check for Fixer and Charon, spotting both the mares.
>They smile as they approach you, Fixer tossing some credits to you.
>"There ya go cap! We found the killer."
>Charon nods.
>"Turns out the murderer was an officer that got bribed, the wife suspected this and didn't go to the police for that reason."
 
"Wow, really? Good job you two, i'm glad i sent you both."
>"Nothin to it cap, but i think it is food time." Fixer says with a smile.
>You walk with them heading to the mess.
"So tell me more, what will the wife do? What will hapen to the officer?"
>"Try to readjust to life without her husband." Charon says, "When we figured it out we all went right to the department and fed the information to the head of the department."
>"The guy was arrested on the spot, tackled while he was in his chair. Seeing as he was still a cop, i bet his asshole is already the size of my hoof from guys he put away."
>"How subtle." Charon says as she rolls her eyes.
>"I'm not wrong."
>You arrive at the mess seeing the other crew members there.
>You all sit down, you next to Angel and Fixer next to Chaos.
>Angel gives you a kiss on the cheek, making you giggle.
>You look over to Cobalt, grinning.
"So what was this i hear about a power crazy captain in my chair?"
>Cobalt giggles, blushing.
>"Sorry captain, i was having some fun."
"It's fine Cobalt. You want a ship of your own someday?"
>"Maybe, but i want to stay and be part of the Artemis for a long time."
>"Sooo if we are done for the day, wana watch a movie Chaos?" Fixer asks.
>"Sure, why not?"
 
"Angel, I'm feeling tired, would you mind coming to bed early with me?"
>You give Angel a wink and he smiles.
>"Sure."
>You finish eating and head to your quarters, the rest of the crew doing their own things.
>You climb onto the bed with Angel, transforming your hoof into a paw again, beginning to scratch Angel's ears.
>"Ooooohhh."
>You giggle, scratching slower for a little.
"Guess what? Cobalt says she is ready to have some fun. Would you like the to happen tomorrow?"
>Angel nods.
>"Sure, I'm ready when you two are."
>You smile at him and transform yourself even more, becoming a fully grown diamond dog, Angel looking up at you in surprise.
>You hug him against you, Angel being about the size of a large plush in comparison to your now larger body.
>You begin to scratch him again, getting Angel to groan softly and close his eyes, his leg twitching in the air again.
>"Ooooooooohoohoho, i was waiting for this."
>You move down to his back with your other paw, Angel looking like he is in total bliss as you scratch him.
>"Veeeeeex, pleeeeease don't stop. Keep going, moooooore."
 
"Wow Angel, i should do this from now on, this looks like it is better then sex for you."
>You nip his free ear getting a tiny groan from him, feeling his lust a little.
>"Nooooot true, sex is waaaay better, this just feels soooooo goooood."
"I'm glad my stallion likes it so much, how about he tells me where to scratch?"
>You have Angel direct your scratches, getting to scratch his lower back and rub his belly.
>You pull Angel tighter after a bit, cuddling him even more as you scratch his ears slower.
>He idily nuzzles against your fluffy chest, seeming to be unaware of what he is doing as you keep scratching him.
"Who is my pony?"
>Angel comes back to reality at your words and chuckles a little, looking embarrassed.
>"Damnit. You like having me like this don't you?"
>Angel yawns a little, giving a sigh as you scratch more.
 
"Maybe a little."
>"A little?"
"Alright, more then a little."
>You kiss Angel's forehead, softly scratching his ears.
"Is my stallion tired form deliveries?"
>Angel nods, his eyes half closed.
>"Yes."
>You stroke his mane softly, making him relax.
"Shhhhh, sleep."
>You hold Angel close and keep softly scratching, watching his eyes close as he lays against your chest.
>You smile and kiss Angel again, watching him breathe as he sleeps against you.
>You transform back and close your eyes, falling asleep.
>You awake to see Angel still sleeping against your chest, your hooves around his head.
>He twitches a little in his sleep, his eyes closed tightly.
 
>You lightly hug Angel tighter and close your eyes, enjoying the moment.
>He keeps twitching in his sleep, waking up with a bit of a jump and breathing heavily.
>Angel sighs and looks up at you, getting a smile on his face.
>"Morning pretty mare."
"Morning handsome stallion, everything alright?"
>Angel sighs, nuzzling your chest.
>"Just a bad dream."
>He laughs softly and looks back up at you.
>"So how is it being the one who is doing the holding? shower and breakfast time? or shall we just lay here again?
 
"It's nice, we should do this more often, ear scratches and all."
>Angel smiles and chuckles.
"But sadly today is a working day. I want to lay all over you, but we need to get working."
>"Schedule an off day sometime then, i wouldn't mind that."
>You both have a quick shower and head to the mess for the regualr morning routine, finding only Chaos and Fixer there.
>Fixer is sitting between Chaos's forelegs as he sits, lungeing up and nipping at his jaw.
>"What's this?" Angel asks with a smile.
>"A mare who is officially obsessed." Chaos says with a laugh. "Come on, now the others are arriving, you gotta stop."
>"Gotta make me, and as good as you are at that you won't, you love the attention." Fixer says.
>Chaos laughs as Fixer nips him again, lust coming from the both of them.
 
"Were you two watching your movie like that? Or were you too distracted?"
>"Well w-"
>Fixer holds Chaos's mouth shut, giving a clam look as she speaks.
>"We were having a wonderful time watching a movie when Chaos "accidentally" got excited from me moving around and getting comfortably rested between his hooves. As a mare who is forgiving and trained in proper etiquette, i did my fellow mares proud and handled the situation in an appropriate and clam manor."
>Fixer grins widely and puts her hoof in the air.
>"I sucked his huge cock untill he blew his load all over my face!"
>Fixer lunges and nips Chaos again, giggling as you pull up a job list.
>Parts shipping: 2000 credits.
>Rescue mission: 5000 credits.
>Protection job :4000 credits.
>"You just don't care who hears that do you?" Chaos laughs.
>"Why would i? Everypony has sex, i bet even Cobalt and the doc have. And I'm not ashamed because really, why would i be? I'm keeping the stallion i have the hots for happy! Even you gotta agree with me on this cap, we gotta keep our lovers happy and wanting more."
 
"I'm sure everypony in the room agrees with what Fixer."
>You send a mesage for both jobs, requesting more details.
>The protection job comes back almost instantly, asking team to protect a witness from a likely attempt on her life.
>You get another mesage asking you to call about the rescue mission.
"I'll be back."
>You step out and make the call, getting a stallion on the line.
>"Hello? Is this about the rescue?"
"Yes, i was hoping for more information."
>You can hear the stallion break down.
>" These pirates took my wife and son, they are holding them hostage and are threatening to kill them unless i help them smuggle some drugs."
"How did this happen?"
>"I just steped out to get some groceries and found the door kicked in when i got back, there was a note that they left telling me what to do. They think because i'm a dock woker that i can help them, there is no way i could find a way to do as they ask, i would get caught."
"Do you know where the pirates are?"
>"I think, they gave me a location to deliver the money from the job when i got it, said that they would give my family back if i got it done and broght the money. Here it is."
>He sends you a location, the planet being the ice planet you were at once before.
>"Please help me, i just want my wife and son back."
 
>You can hear the stallion saying a prayer.
"Do they just want the money?"
>"Y-yes, I tried to get the needed credits but can't, we are too poor. i had to take out a loan just to afford payment for this job."
"How much do they want?"
>"10000 credits."
"Alright, don't worry mister?"
>"Shine."
"Don't worry mister Shine, you will see your family again today, alive and well."
>The stallion thanks you profusely before you let him go.
 
>You accept the jobs and send a quick message asking Shine for a picture of him and the names of his family.
>You get the message as you get back to the mess, the wife's name is Leaf, and the son Chocolate.
>You sit down and take another bite of your food.
>"What was that Vex? A job?" Angel asks.
"Yes, today will be very interesting."
>You look back at Chaos and Fixer, the two of them smiling at each other.
"I'm a little suprised that you two are here, and that i didn't need to drag you both out of bed."
>"The stomach is a fierce enemy Vex." Chaos says with a smile.
>"Yeh, you won't have such luck tomorrow though. You are in for it tonight Chaos."
>Fixer gives Chaos a kiss, the lust from the two of them growing.
>Angel laughs softly, looking at you.
>"We need to get you two to come to our colony some time, have a real dinner with Cotton and Ma."
>You hear hoofsteps and the rest of the crew enters, all grabbing meal packages and sitting.
>Cobalt gives a giggle when she sees Chaos and Fixer.
>"Aweee, you two look as cute as Angel and Vex!"
 
>You turn your head away from Cobalt.
"Oh. i see how it is."
>"Nooooo, captain. I'm sorry, you and Angel are cuter." Cobalt says, sounding sad.
>You keep your gaze away from Cobalt
"No, no. it's fine. i guess that-"
>You are cut off as Cobalt hugs you tightly.
>You hug her back and get a giggle out of her.
"I think they are pretty cute too Cobalt."
>She smiles and lets go of you, sitting down to eat.
>You turn to Angel and nuzzle him.
"I would love to have that at some point."
>"Schedule a day off and we will."
>You eat with your crew and explain the jobs you have for the day, heading into the station after.
>You buy three more thermal jackets, making sure to get a white one for Cobalt and a foal size for Fixer.
 
>You bring the supplies back and head to the meeting point for the mare.
>You don't need to wait long before a group of ponies approaches you, a mare with a few officers behind her.
>The mare looks nervous as she talks to you, the officers looking at you with suspicion.
>"Captain Vex?" one of the officers ask.
"Yes, that is me."
>You look at the mare, giving her a smile.
"Are you the mare i am to be protecting? What is your name?"
>"I am, my name is Signal."
 
>You extend a hoof and the mare extends hers, giving a hoofshake.
"Nice to meet you Signal. Can you tell me more about who i am protecting you from and how long?"
>"I can answer that miss." one of the officers say. "Miss Signal needs to be protected from anypony making an attempt to kill her, she is a vital witness to an important case. The court proceedings are later today. A recent breach in trust of our officers and some recent information to the case has led our department to use an outside source."
"And that is where i come in."
>"Correct. You only need to guard her for the day and bring her back for the hearing. How you ensure her safety is decided by you."
"Understood. Come with me Signal, you are in good hooves."
>You bring Signal to your ship, explaining your plan for her and showing her to one of the empty rooms.
>You have Angel pilot the ship to do the shipping job before the rescue job, wanting to kill time and avoid suspicion.
>Charon approaches you at some point.
>"Captain Vex, our guest is asking if she could have a meal. I would have just given her one, but she was quite insistent that i ask you directly."
>"Would it be alright to talk with her too?" Cobalt asks. "I bet she feels a little lonely."
 
>You nod at both of them.
"Go ahead and give her some food, and yes, you can keep her company if she is okay with it Cobalt. Show her the war room and the movies we have too, she isn't confined to the room."
>"I will!" Cobalt says happily.
>She trots off with Charon humming a tune.
>The journey lasts an hour longer, a few supply ships passing by.
>You dock at the station and drop off the shipment, recieveing the payment.
>When you return to the bridge, Angel looks to you.
>"So then, rescue time Vex? What's the plan exactly?"
 
"I go in disguised as the father with Cobalt and you guys watching over me from a distance. I'll give them the credits, secure the family, and signal Cobalt to shoot so we can get our credits back. Fixer and Sky will stay back to watch Signal while we are gone, that way we have coats for the family."
>Angel smiles and nods.
>"Yea, i doubt they would be that kind."
"And they will get the same treatment, i plan on hitting them with my water spell when i have the chance."
>"Ha! That's gonna suck for them, they deserve as much for doing that to a guy." Chaos laughs.
"Oh it will. Let's get going."
>Angel begins piloting to the planet, the journey taking some time.
>Once you are close enough and land a distance from the meeting point, you gather the crew, telling them the plan.
>You and your crew get equipped, you only taking a coat to not cause suspicion.
>You all proceed out and Cobalt yelps when she hits the snow, alredy shivering.
>"I-it's s-so cold!" She says as snow starts to pile up on her head.
 
"Yes it is cold, but that is why we have the jackets. We can get some hot coco after to warm up. The quicker we do this, the faster we can leave and warm up. Though i wish we could stay, i want to build a snowpony."
>"The simple things are the best." Charon giggles.
>"How about a snow trip instead of a beach trip next?" Chaos asks.
>"Nope, beach!" Cobalt says. "I want to swim again."
"All in good time everypony, we have a job to do and lives are on the line, let's hurry!"
>As you and your crew move, you transform into an earth pony stallion, mimicking Shine.
>Your crew splits off and goes into hiding as you continue on, beginning to see a ship in the distance through the falling snow.
>"I can see you captain, I'm ready for your signal." Cobalt says.
>As you approach the ship, it opens up and seven ponies step out.
>The ponies meet you a quarter of the way, five of them with pirate markings.
>You can see the wife and son among them, neither of them wearing coats, the snow up to the colt's chest.
>"Well! You must really love your family." a unicorn shouts.
>"S-shine!" the mare shouts.
>She flinches as a pirate points a rifle at her.
 
"Leaf! are you and Chocolate alright?"
>The mare goes to speak before the same pirate points his rifle at her again, keeping her quiet.
>Leaf nods instead, both her and Chocolate shaking badly.
"This will be over soon! I Promise!"
>The mare smiles at you and nods again.
"I have your stupid credits, let them go!"
>"I wouldn't be so demanding if i were you, i have the cards." The unicorn says with a sneer. "But you know what? I'm a nice guy and i see that there is a trust issue, so have this!"
>The horn of the unicorn glows red, the colt suddenly glowing the same colour.
>The colt is tossed through the air and over to you, landing in the snow.
"Chocolate!"
>You rush to the colt as he gets up, seeing him limp as he tries to move to you.
>You quickly wrap the crying colt in the thermal jacket, turning back to the pirates.
>"I won't be so gentle next time." the unicorn says. "Credits! Now!"
>You toss the credits to the unicorn, watching as he catches it with his magic.
>He smiles and gives a signal after looking at the credits, one of the pirates pushing Leaf to you.
>She runs to you and you give her the jacket, the mare quickly putting it on and holding her crying son.
>"Tell me when captain." Cobalt says through the radio, a hint of anger in her voice.
 
"Come on, pick Chocolate up, let's get out of here."
>Leaf picks her son up and gets him on her back, the two of you beginning to move.
>You look back and see that the pirates are too busy enjoying the easy money.
"I need you to listen to me Leaf, you need to run and keep running."
>"Shine?"
"Don't look back, just keep running to safety. A fight is about to breakout."
>"Shine, we are safe, let's just go."
>You look at the mare and revert your eyes for a moment, a shocked look on her face.
"You will see your husband soon."
>The mare begins to run, the colt looking back at you with worry
>You turn back and quickly change back into your original form.
"Cobalt, now!"
>You spray some of the pirates with your water spell, knocking two of them over.
>You get a barrier up just as the pirates begin shooting, their shots being stopped as they hit it.
>A gunshot in the distance sounds and the pirate that was threatening Leaf drops dead, the snow red with blood.
>"The fuck?"
>The area around the pirates lighs up with lasers and gunfire, your crew chargeibg at the pirates.
>"Fuck, go!"
>The pirates begin to flee, the unicorn still holding the credits, another pirate dropping dead beside him.
 
>You drop your barrier and cast your magic jammer, hitting the fleeing unicorn.
>You followup with another water jet, hitting him and knocking him into the snow.
>Another the two remaining pirates drop dead, one just dropping and the other being shot with a laser beam.
>You can see the pirate ship close up and use the radio.
"Sky you there? Make sure that the pirate ship doesn't leave the planet."
>"Got it, i make no promises though, I don't know how to fly a ship like this."
>You see the unicorn get up, searching the snow.
>He stops searching and turns to you, closing his eyes.
>"C-come on! T-the f-f-fuck?"
>You see his horn glow faintly before fadeing, his magic useless.
>The unicorn pulls out a knife, glaring at you as he backs away, his body shaking.
>"I have him captain." Cobalt says over the radio.
>"Vex!"
>You hear the crunching of snow as your crew surrounds the unicorn, the unicorn looking around frantically
 
"Drop the knife and surrender, you don't have to die here."
>"F-f-fuck t-that!" The unicorn says.
>You yank the knife out of his mouth with your magic, the unicorn growling as he shakes.
"I asked nicely, now i am ordering. Come quietly or my boys will break your legs."
>"The mare gets what she wants," Angel says, "You just get to decide how much it hurts."
>The unicorn growls again, looking around for a way out.
>He eventually lowers his head in defeat and shakes less, ice forming on him.
 
>You can see Cobalt running through the snow towards you and turn back to the stallion.
"Answers, now. Who was that money for? Were you behind this?"
>"Oh, yes it was me. M-my poor daughter is so very sick, so i turned to a life of crime to get the needed money." The unicorn says with a sarcastic tone. "T-the f-fuck do you care?"
>"Captain, I'm sorry but we have more pressing matters other then information." Charon says. "I'm very concerned about death caused by hypothermia."
"We can get him aboard his ship to have him warm up, take a look at what they have while they are there."
>Charon shakes her head.
>"No captain, for the mare and colt. They just ran and not in a specific direction, i need to give them treatment. the same goes with the pirate, if we want him alive."
>"Selling a pirate ship would be nice, but i have concerns about walking in. You have bo shield, armor, or guns Vex. And ships don't just close by themselves." Chaos says.
>"I'm more concerned about the natives." Angels says as he looks around.
 
"You are right. Angel, can you take him back to the ship?"
>"Can i shoot him if he fights?"
"Yes, hang on a second though."
>You move to Cobalt.
"Are you holding up alright Cobalt?"
>"My wings kinda hurt from the cold."
"Go back with Angel then, watch the pirate."
>Cobalt nods and moves to Angel, the two of them directing the pirate.
>You turn to the direction the family took off in and follow faint tracks, the falling snow already covering them up.
>You, Chaos and Charon all search for the mare and colt.
>You can see some movement through the snow and begin to run, seeing the mare slowly walking as she carries her colt.
>The mare shrieks as one of the creatures that you fought before runs towards her, only to be driven off by Chaos shooting at it.
>The mare turns towards you and backs away.
>"Godess please, save us."
"Leaf! It's alright, your husband hired me to rescue you. I need you to come with us."
>The mare moves to you and Charon looks at the colt, turning to you.
>"We need to hurry Vex."
>You nod and transform into a large diamond dog, quickly scopping up the family.
>You all run back to the ship, getting aboard and seeing your other crew members.
>The pirate lays on the floor, sluring as he mumbles.
>"He just collapsed all of a sudden!" Cobalt says, winceing a little.
>Charon sprints off, yelling.
>"Keep the family awake and get everything off of him!"
 
"Chaos, go and wach the sensors. I want to know if that pirate ship comes after us."
>"Got it."
>As Chaos runs off you set the family down and move over to the pirate.
>You grab the collar of his armor and pull it off, taking some of his clothes in the process.
>The pirate grunts a little as you pull his armor and clothes off of him, some bits of frozen fur coming off.
>Once he is completely striped, you see frozen chunks of ice in his coat, his breathing slow.
>You quickly move back to the family, picking them up and hugging them.
>You can feel some fatigue set in.
"So, everypony ready to go home? You two ready to see shine again?"
>"So badly." Leaf sighs.
>"mmmhmm." the colt mumbles, closing his eyes and leaning against his mother.
"Come on now, eyes open."
>You shake the colt a little, getting him to keep his eyes open.
>"But im tired, and sore."
"I know, but i need you awake for the doctor. Where does it hurt?"
>"My leg."
>Charon rushes back in, setting some things down and ordering Angel before coming to you.
>She sets up a metal stand and hangs some bags from it.
"What is that Charon?"
>"A warmed IV drip, it will help their body heat."
>Charon hops back and forth between the family and the pirate, sighing after awhile.
>"Alright Leaf, you and Chocolate are in the red, but are safe and improving. you will be fine, but I need you to both keep awake and talking. Can you do that?"
>"Yes. Thank you, all of you." Leaf says.
 
"You're welcome. Would you both like some food?"
>"Yes, please."
>Charon smiles.
>"Good to see you two have an appetite, just take it slow. They should be fine now Vex, I'm going to work on our other guest."
>You set the ponies down and transform back to your origional from, moving to a food crate and grabbing some food for the family.
>You check the time, seeing that is is about four hours before Signal is needed to be returned
>You keep watch over the family as Charon works away, trying out the water dragon trick you learned from the unicorns.
>As you entertain the colt, Chaos approaches you.
>"Vex, the pirates took off."
"Are they coming here?"
>"Nope, they straight up left."
 
>You sigh and nod.
"Alright, we should get going. Tell Angel to fly us back, have him float us in space for an hour before we depart, i want to get Signal back right when we need to give her over."
>"You got it." Chaos says with a smile.
>As he leaves, you grab a data pad and do a search on the unicorn.
>He is wanted for many drug charges, the price on his head being 4000.
>You look over at the unicorn Charon still over him.
>You approach and look at the zebra doctor.
"How is our guest?"
>"Just throw me out the fuckin airlock." the stallion groans.
>Charon smiles and shakes her head.
>"He should make a full recovery, we got here just in time."
 
>You smile and shake your head, holding your tongue.
"You hear that? You get to live, make a full recovery, and keep all your parts! You should consider yourself lucky."
>"Lucky. Ha, yea right."
"Would you rather have a bad case of frostbite and have us cut things off?"
>"No, i'd rather be getting off, use my one good nut for what it is worth."
>"I'm going to bring the family away and to the medical room, save the colt some bad language." Charon says.
>"We all learn it sooner or later zebra." the pirate says.
>As Charon walks off and moves the family, you turn back to the pirate.
"Now, if you are a good colt and answer me, i may give you some hot food. Sound good?"
>The unicorn laughs weakly.
>"Gonna need to do a fuckton better then that, i get free food in a bit anyways. Friday's scalloped potatoes are apparently restaurant quality from what i heard."
 
"You know someone in prison then? Did they tell you to do this? You still have a chance at food."
>The unicorn just smiles at you.
"Not the carrot type i see. How about this? I'm a changeling."
>The pirate laughs more, his voice sounding quieter.
>"So what? You are going to hurt me? Make me into your food source? Please. You want the money from my bounty."
"That is the beauty of it, all i need to do is turn in a pony with a heartbeat."
>The unicorn looks up at you.
"Do you know what happens when a pony is drained too far? They become a husk, mindless and uncaring."
>You move closer to the stallion, showing off your fangs.
"Imagine like it was when you were dying from the cold, your body numb and empty forever. Living every day in a broken shell, unable to end it. Do you really want that?"
>The unicorn sighs.
>"Got broken once already by three ponies and I'm just fine. What is one more time feeling like shit?"
"This is much worse, you never recover, you can't even find the energy to end it. You will live every day like that, aware and unable to do anything."
>The unicorn rolls his eyes, looking nervous.
>"A drug guy I'm friends with, gets supplies easily. There, happy?"
 
>You lick your fangs, keeping them close to the stallion.
"It's a start. How about a name?"
>The unicorn growls at you.
>"Fuck you."
>You make your horn glow.
"Either you keep me fed or i feed myself."
>The stallion looks angrily at you, still looking a bit nervous as you keep showing your fangs.
>"His name is Blue Leaf, gets his stock from some fuck named Rune, we get drugs by the ton at drop points. That is all you are fucking getting."
>The stallion tries to roll over and fails groaning in pain as he lays back down.
 
>You move back and nod at the stallion.
"Good enough."
>You grab a meal package, giving it to the pirate.
"Have this, want some tea or coffee?"
>The pirate just stares at you, unable to grasp the fact that you are giving him food.
>"I get free food in prison, and you still are giving me your own supplies? Even though I'm purposely pissing you off?"
"Yes."
>The pirate stares at you more.
"Enjoy the rest of the ride."
>You head to the bridge, checking progress and sending a message to Shine.
>You arrive back at the station in awhile, the rest of your ride being uneventful.
>As soon as you dock and the doors of the ship open, you see Shine rush in, crying heavily as he hugs his family.
>After a minute of seeing his family again, he moves to you, tears in his eyes as he gives you the credits.
>"I... I can't even begin to thank you enough. I owe you so much, i wish i could give you more."
 
"You are welcome, you are giving me more than enough though, you can keep some of the money."
>"No, you deserve every last credit for saving my family, the years i will be able to spend with them will be worth the year of extra work."
>You nod and smile at Shine.
"Then do me a favour, take good care of your family."
>"I will, thank you so much."
>The family says goodbye, all looking happy to be together again.
>Once they are gone, you do a quick search on Blue Leaf, getting a picture of a pegasus stallion.
>The stallion is wanted for several counts of smuggling drugs and murder, being spotted only a few times on stations.
>Seeing the time, you grab Angel and Chaos, taking Signal to the meeting place.
>You see some officers when you get there, one of them giving you credits when they move over to you.
>"Thank you, we will take her from here." one of them says.
>Signal turns to you and smiles.
>"Thanks for protecting me, be sure to give my thanks to that bat pony mare of your crew, she was really nice."
 
"You're welcome and i will, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Goodbye, i hope things go well for you."
>You and the twins take your leave, heading back to the ship.
>"So, we deal with the pirate and then we can all relax?" Angel asks.
"Yes, we are almost done for the day."
>You all get back to the ship and go to the pirate, seeing Sky watching him.
"All right, one more question for you, where can i find your friend Blue Leaf?"
>The pirate rolls his eyes.
>"Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you. do you not remember what i said? They drop the stuff off at areas for us to grab."
"How about a number then?"
>"No."
>"May want to talk with Fixer," Sky says, "She found a data pad when she went through his things."
 
"Where is she?"
>"In her room."
"Well then, I'll be back."
>"Shit." the pirate unicorn says.
>You head to Fixer's room and find her at a computer.
"Hey Fixer, Sky says you found a data pad, find anything good?."
>"Yeh, found something good. Most of it is just sale logs, and a few terabytes of kinky porn. The real interesting part is this..."
>Fixer pulls up a location on the computer.
>"Right here is a drug cartel, run by a guy named Blue Leaf. The pirates have made frequent stops here, and had to cough up half their funds when they do. We could do some real damage, be real heros if we go and attack."
 
"Well then, we may hit them tomorrow, see what the tank suit can really do."
>"Hell, i'm down for it. Just as long as we deal with that pirate tonight. I don't wana get fucked silly and wake up with a knife in my throat."
"Like I said, we may. I want to see about some equipment, possibly another pony to add to the crew."
>"And the pirate?"
"I'll deal with him."
>You look over at the computer.
"... is the porn any good?"
>Fixer gives a whistle at you
>"Naughy cap, naughty. The guy has good taste in kink and porn stars, i'll give him that."
>Fixer pulls up a picture of a gaged mare, her hooves tied, leaving her very exposed.
>"What? you want a copy if it all for inspiration?" Fixer says with a grin.
 
"This is by technicality evidence that needs through inspection, i would be a terrible captain if i did not give attention to this. How about we both review it and compare notes?"
>You grin at Fixer and she returns it.
>"What say we compare and share more things as well? Never had a mare i could talk to about this kina stuff."
"I'll consider it."
>Fixer gives you a data chip filled to the brim with sexual videos and photos.
>You head back to cargo, headding to Sky and the pirate.
>"Any luck?" Sky asks.
"No, the water from my spell froze and broke the damn thing, it's useless."
>You catch the pirate grinning out of the corner of your eye.
>It takes some time, but you turn the pirate in, getting his bounty.
>When you return to the ship, you find Cobalt alone in the mess, seeing her having some tea.
"Hey Cobalt, you alright from the cold?"
>"Kinda," She sighs, "I'm still super cold from it all."
"Awww."
>You move to her and give the mare a hug, whispering in her ear.
"Would you like it if i warmed you up?"
>Cobalt grins and blushes, nodding happily.
 
>You look around, seeing no other crew members around.
>You give Cobalt a kiss, making her blush more.
"Me and Angel will be waiting, come to my room after dinner."
>Cobalt nods, smiling.
>"I'll be ready."
>You leave and find Angel, nuzzling him when you find him walking in the halls.
"Food time?"
>"Sure." he says with a smile.
>At the both of you walk, you lean in and whisper to him.
"We have a guest tonight, she needs to be throughly warmed by us."
>Angel gives you a sly grin.
>"Oh? And how shall we warm her? do you have a plan? or shall we just see if she can handle being warmed by two ponies?"
 
"She said that she wanted me to stay as a mare for a bit, she wants to try something apparently. Other then that, let's see how we can warm her together."
>"This will be fun." Angel says with a grin.
"Just be gentle, she is still new."
>"I will."
>The two of you have dinner, some of the crew joining and eating.
>Once you finished, you and Angel head to your room, getting comfortable as you both lay on your sides.
>Within the minute, Cobalt walks in, smiling and blushing.
>"Somepony looks excited." Angel says.
>Cobalt hops up on the bed and moves to the both of you, giving each of you a nuzzle and kiss.
>"Yes, very. I want to try something with Vex, and you may like what you see. But just so you don't feel left out."
>Cobalt climbs ontop of Angel and gives him a kiss, the two of them making out for a moment.
>Cobalt then gets off of Angel and looks to you, her lust rising.
>"On your back please."
>You do and instructed and Cobalt stands over you, giving you a kiss before she turns around.
>Cobalt lays on you and moves her tail, exposing herself to you.
>Her marehood it practically against your muzzle, her arousal easily visible.
>"Hope you like the view," Cobalt says, "Let's put on a show for Angel."
 
>You give Cobalt a teasing lick, going around her marehood.
"Aren't you adventurous?"
>You get a giggle from her.
>"I kinda got curious, saw something that looked fun."
>You give her leg a nip, getting a gasp from her.
"Well, join in then."
>Cobalt gives your own marehood a lick, not going too far but more then what you did.
>You keep teasing her outside, every so often giving her a real lick, tasting her juices.
>Cobalt seems to catch on and does the same thing, doing less teasing and more licking than you.
>You reward her by stopping the teasing and getting to the real fun, beginning to focous on her marehood and not around it.
>You slowly move your tongue down, lingering on her more sensitive parts.
>Cobalt falters for a moment and gives a small moan, continuing the same licks as before.
>You back off slightly and repeat the same movement, trying to give Cobalt a push in the right direction.
>She catches on again and changes her licks, going deeper and faster, being more confident as she copies you.
>You push your tongue into her and get another moan, Cobalt quickly returning to licking.
>You let out a moan yourself as she finds her mark, getting her own tongue inside of you and focusing on pleasuring you.
>You give a glance to Angel as the both of you keep at it, seeing him erect as he watches the both of you, his lust rising.
>You decide to go all the way and push your tongue right into Cobalt, getting many moans and gasps as you explore inside of her.
>Cobalt is the first to reach orgasim, giving a loud moan as she shakes on top of you.
>She returns to you when she can, sending you over the edge as well.
>Cobalt crawls next to you and kisses you as yoy recover, being rolled onto her back by Angel after.
>"Bravo you two, that was pretty hot. You ready Cobalt?"
>Cobalt looks down at Angel's member, looking a little nervous and excited as she nods.
>"Where do you want to be Vex?" Angel asks.
 
>You get up and circle around Angel, brushing against him.
"Well, i was thinking we could let Cobalt decide. Unless you would enjoy me inside of you."
>Angel's face goes red and he looks at you, a slightly nervous expression on his face as he tries to gage if you are serious or not.
>You giggle and give him a kiss on the cheek, turning to Cobalt.
"Well? Does our naughty mare have a fantasy?"
>Cobalt blushes more and nods.
>"A few... a mare looked like she was realy having fun with stallions at both ends. But i have a request..."
"What is it?"
>Cobalt hides her face with her hooves, looking very embarrassed.
>"Could it be the same stallion that robed me of my purity?"
 
"Of course it can be."
>You transform ibto the same stallion as last time, Cobalt looking very happy.
"Do you want me at the front?"
>"Please."
>You position yourself in front of the blushing mare, watching as she gives you a small lick and gasps, turning her attention to Angel
>Angel has a smile his face, very slowly pushing himself into Cobalt.
>"Wow, maybe it was a good thing she started with you, she is still really tight."
>You let Angel get all the way into Cobalt, watching the mare as she moans and whimpers, smiling the entire time.
>"You alright Cobalt?"
>"Yes... so big."
>Angel laughs softly and gives her a kiss
>"Just tell me if It's too much."
>Angel nods towards you and you get back into position, placeing your tip right on Cobalt's lips.
>She laps at your member as Angel slowly starts to move, gently moving in and out of Cobalt.
>Cobalt lets out another moan, taking you into her mouth as she does.
>She sucks away at your member, her moans adding to the pleasure of her sucking.
>You let out a groan as she moves her tongue around the tip of your member, pushing a tiny bit deeper into her mouth.
>She resists a little but quickly relaxes, sucking more as you get into a rhythm.
>Angel picks up pace, looking content as he thrusts at a moderen pace, Cobalt moaning even more.
>Cobalt shakes as she orgasims again, you and Angel still going at her.
>As you feel your limit approaching, you look to Angel, seeing him pant and nod.
>You both give one last push into Cobalt, making her moan and shake again.
>You can feel a swallowing sensation around your member as you fill Cobalt's mouth, pulling out to let her have a more mamagable time.
>One last load comes out from you and gets on Cobalt's face, your cum on her muzzle and cheek.
>Cobalt pants, looking drained as she smiles.
>Angel laughs softly, looking up at you as he stays inside of Cobalt.
>"Poor thing, i think we wore her out."
 
>You nod and lick Cobalt's face, getting her clean.
"She'll get more endurance soon enough, we will make sure of that."
>You give Cobalt a kiss, making her sigh happily.
>You and Angel gently move Cobalt to the pillows having her lay down to rest.
>You quickly turn to Angel and kiss him, making him inhale sharply and tense up.
>You hold the kiss and Angel relaxes slightly, his face burning red as he glances around.
>Breaking the kiss, you wrap your forehooves around him, giving a nuzzle as he nervously looks around.
"Ready for another round?"
>Angel looks more nervous as he tenses up again, looking more red.
>"W-wait, as... stallions?"
 
"Do you want us to have sex as stallions? I'm not going pressure you, it's just something that i think would be fun."
>Angel looks away nervously.
>"I don't know, it's never something i gave much thought about. I mean, the kiss wasn't that bad, it could be good. I'm just nervous about the whole idea."
"Would you like to try something else then? Because i had another idea."
>Angel looks at you, slightly curious.
>"Like what?"
>You make your horn glow, smiling at Angel.
"Would you like me to do to you what you did to me? I could make you into a mare, you could see what it is like to have somepony inside of you and have multiple orgasims."
>Angel's eyes widen in suprise, still looking nervous.
"It's all only if you are completely alright with it, it's just for us to have some fun with."
>"Just fun?"
"Just fun."
>Angel looks thoughtful, his face red as he gives a sigh.
>"I oddly feel more comfortable with that, i guess i could try. Just, let me get used to it before we do anything, alright?"
 
>You grin at Angel.
"We will take it slow, just remember, banana split is the safe word."
>"S-safe word?" Angel exclaims.
>You keep grinning, Angel getting a smile and laughing.
>"Alright, you got me. That was pretty good."
>You get up and Nuzzle him.
"Just remember, at the end of the day I'm still your mare, and you are my stallion."
>Angel nods and visably relaxes, returning the nuzzle.
>"Alright, I'm ready."
>You move back and cast the spell, closeing your eyes to concentrate.
>You feel even more fatigued from the spell, but are able to cast it, seeing the wondrous sight before you.
>You look at Angel, watching as she opens her own eyes to see the changes.
>She bends and flxes, checking over her very girly and curvy body, looking slightly flustered as she does.
>"Holy-"
>She slams both hooves over her mouth at her soft voice, blushing nearly as bad as Cobalt.
>"Oh, umm. Oh damn."
 
>Angel keeps exploreing her body, running hooves across her face.
>"I'm a mare... holy shit."
>You sit down and smile, keeping your member in sight of Angel.
>You look at Cobalt, seeing her awestruck reaction.
"Thoughts Cobalt?"
>Cobalt blinks a few times, blushing.
>"He... she.... Angel is beautiful."
>Angel looks away and holds a hoof over her chest, looking embarrassed.
>You laugh softly as her reaction.
"And here i thought making you blush before was adorable. How does it feel?"
>"I don't know, i feel... smaller, and flexible. Also i get an odd feeling between my legs, kinda like a phantom limb is described but without the pain. And..."
"And?"
>Angel sighs, her face being more red, a needy look in her eyes.
>You see her glance down as she looks at you, her blush becoming worse.
>"Does it always feel this hot back there? I feel like I'm on fire."
 
>You smile, giving a sugestive look to Angel
"Only when things are about to get very fun."
>She shifts a little, a lust coming from her.
>You look at Cobalt, grinning.
"What do you think is the most important thing a new mare should know?"
>Cobalt giggles, blushing.
>"In this case? How to present herself."
>She gives you a wink at the word present, making Angel shift more, her lust growing more.
>"I guess if we've gone this far..."
>Angel fiddles with her hooves, looking nervous and shy.
>"Is that the position you want me in Vex?"
 
 
"Lay on your back, I'm going to show you just how fun it is to be a mare."
>"Alright."
>Angel moves her way over to you, giving a surprised gasp when you pull her down and get on top of her.
>You kiss your way down her body, feeding at the lust in the air as you do.
>Gently pushing her hind legs apart, you see just how aroused Angel is from the experience.
>You lower your head and tease Angel the same way you did Cobalt, licking around her marehood and nipping the inside of her legs.
>Angel squirms and whimpers as you tease her, letting out a moan when you press your tongue into her.
>You feel hooves on your head as you lick away, Angel already panting heavily.
>You push your tongue deeply into her, going over every last bit as hooves hold your head.
>"Ahhh!~"
>You look up as you get Angel to orgasim, seeing her chest rise and fall rapidly.
>Once Angel settles down, you move up and kiss her deeply
>You hold the kiss for as long as possible, the two of you wrestling tongues until you break it.
"Ready?"
>Angel nods as she looks up at you, looking a little drained.
>You position yourself and gently push into Angel, feeling some level of restriction as you ease all of yourself into her.
>"Oh my goddess!"
>You pull out almost all the way before pushing back in, pleasure filled noises coming from Angel.
>You easily build up to a moderate pace, Angel's moans only encouraging you.
>Angel pants heavily again as you go faster, groans and moans coming from the both of you.
>Feeling your limit approach, you go faster and give one last big push into Angel, filling her insides.
>Angel moans loudly again as she holds onto you, the both of you happily riding out your climaxes.
>You can feel a firm pressure against your neck as Angel presses her muzzle against you, sounding out of breath as she speaks.
>"That was... i can feel... Inside.... Vex."
>Angel pulls you down and gives a long sigh, nuzzling against you.
 
>You nuzzle back, feeding on the lust and love from Angel.
>Cobalt scoches over and wraps her hooves around Angel, nuzzling her from behind.
"See why being a mare is fun?"
>You pull back and see Angel nod.
>"Yea."
>"Do you want to be the mare again?" Cobalt asks with a giggle.
>Angel pauses, blushing.
>"Y-Yes, a little."
"Just imagine two stallions now, each of them swapping out while the other recovers."
>Angel shifts a little, lust rising again.
>"O-One thing at a time alright? I'm already back to considering the whole stallion on stallion thing."
>Angel yawns, nuzzling you again.
>"And I'm very tired now."
 
"That's fine, it's time for all of us to sleep."
>You transform back and get closer to Angel, you and Cobalt effectively sandwiching her between your bodies.
"Just think though, maybe Cobalt could be a stallion with me next time."
>You wink at Cobalt and she blushes, a shy smile on her face.
>"Maybe... I'm a little curious but love being a mare, both you and Angel made me feel really happy."
>You smile and kiss Angel.
"Want to stay a mare for the night? you may want another taste before you are a stallion again."
>You feel more lust and some love from Angel, her blush worse.
>"Y-yea. i wana get in front of a mirror and see what i look like."
>You lay your head down and fall asleep, cuddleing the mare in front of you.
>You wake up to a plesent warmth, Angel just opening her eyes as well.
>"Morning pret-"
>Angel freezes at her soft voice, looking embarrassed.
>"Right... still a mare, forgot about that.
 
"And a very pretty one at that. But what about me? I'm not a pretty mare any more?"
>Angel's face goes red.
>"I was just sup-mmh!"
>You cut her off with a kiss, Angel still blushing as her eyes close.
>When you break the kiss you see her smiling at you.
"Good morning to you too. Did my handsome stallion sleep well?"
>Angel gives a nod, looking at you rather cutely.
>You see Cobalt stir and lift her head, smiling at you.
>"Good morning Vex, good morning Angel."
>She gives a giggle as she looks at Angel, hugging her tighter against her.
>"You two just love me as a mare don't you?" Angel says with an embarrassed look to her face.
>"Yes, mares are fun to cuddle." Cobalt says with a yawn."
"Still tired Cobalt?"
>Cobalt nods laying back down.
>"Yes, i may fall back to sleep."
"That's fine, want to see how good you look in the mirror Angel?"
>"Yea."
>The two of you get up and go to your personal bathroom, Cobalt curling up in the blankets with a smile.
>When you get to the bathroom, Angel looks in the mirror, getting a blush to her face.
>"Wow."
>She turns her head, giving a smile in the mirror.
>"I... i look good, kinda hot actually, i could turn heads."
>She makes a few faces, from happy to a small scrunch.
>You can feel some lust from her as she glances at you getting another red tint to her face.
>"Fuck it, you stuck it in me, i might as well ask. Tell me what i rate."
>Angel turns her hindquarters to you, swishing her tail back and forth.
>She gives you a seductive gaze, one of her forehooves raised as she looks back at you.
 
"I'm not sure, I can't quite say from just one time, we need to try it gain a few times."
>Angel turns back to the mirror, looking at herself again.
>"Kinda ment for looks, but i suppose that is one thing i want to know too. how was i for the first time though?"
>You walk up to Angel and give her flank a firm smack, making her yelp and blush.
"Ten out of ten hot stuff, I'd do you anytime."
>Angel laughs, smiling at you.
>"Good to know, because I kinda wouldn't mind trying some more fun things you have in mind. Better get a few extra sets of bedding though. That mattress protector helps, but i fear for the damn washer if we keep using it day after day."
"Mattress protector? There is one on the bed?"
>"Before you ask, I was a devious and horny colt, i made it a habit to wash bedding."
"You've been doing laundry?"
>"Why do you think that jacket of yours is so clean? I find the time when I'm not shooting, drinking, having sex, piloting, or beating Chaos in sparing. But serously, more bedding. If we do stallion on stallion, we will probably make a huge mess."
>You look at angel with a smile.
"You'd be alright with that?"
>Angel shrugs as she nods, looking embarassed.
>"Still unsure, but we can try. I by technicality had a stallion fuck me last night, so i guess it kinda boils down to weither it is good or not. The same thing may happen to me as a mare I'm guessing."
>Angel sighs, her tail swishing more..
>"Can i go back to a stallion now? That burning feeling is back."
 
"Sure, just one second though."
>You take a good and long look at Angel, admiring her body, looking at her curvy figure.
>Angel laughs, looking embarassed.
>"Jeeze Vex, it seems like you like me as a mare more then you do as a stallion, you going to miss mare me?"
>You giggle, putting a hoof on Angel's face.
"Kinda, you are a good looking mare."
>Angel brushes your hoof aside and moves closer, giving you a nuzzle.
>"Don't make me use this against you, I'm starting to have fun with this."
>Angel gives you a kiss, holding you tightly as she does.
>"Tell you what, every time you give me some of those scratches or if you turn into that unicorn, you can turn me into a mare and we can cuddle to sleep. Deal?"
>You nod happily.
"Deal."
>"Alright, work your magic."
>Angel steps back and you cast the spell, seeing the same strong stallion as before infront of you.
>Angel flexes his body and looks between his legs, smiling.
>"Stallion me or mare me, wich is better looking? he asks, his voice now normal.
 
>You sigh, giving your head a shake.
"That's asking too much Angel, choosing between a beautiful mare and a handsome stallion? How can i decide?"
>You move to Angel and kiss him deeply, Angel holding you tight as you do.
>You slowly break the kiss and nuzzle him.
"Neither are better, but i do prefer my handsome stallion. And i hope he knows that i do all of this just to have a great time with him. That I'm happy that he wants to try new things, but want him to be comfortable and not feel like he has to."
>"He does, i hope that my pretty mare knows that I'm wanting to try new things with her because i am interested. That i will speak up if she is going too far and won't judge on the kinks she wants to try."
>You nuzzle Angel more, pulling away.
"Come on, i bet Cobalt is cold, let's sneak up on her and attack with cuddles."
>You and Angel quietly get back to the bed and you pull the blankets away with magic, Cobalt looking up in surprise.
>She squeals as Angel pounces on her and hugs her from behind, squeaks coming out of her as she giggles.
>You join in and attack the front of her, nuzzling the cute mare while Angel does the same to her from behind.
>"Nooooooooo, somepony save me!"
>You look at Cobalt as the she gets cuddled, seeing she looks as happy as the day at the beach.
>After a bit, Cobalt nuzzles you and Angel, giving you both a kiss.
>"Do we have to get up? I don't want you and Angel to go."
 
"Yes we do, but we don't need to right away."
>"Yea, we need to make money some how." Angel sighs.
>"Pay me in cuddles then!" Cobalt says, holding you both toghter.
>You all laugh a little, continuing to cuddle.
>After Cobalt warms up, you and Angel have a shower together, letting Cobalt go after the both of you.
>As Cobalt cleans up, you and Angel head to the mess, finding some of the crew there.
>Chaos and Fixer are sitting in the same position as before, Fixer looking half asleep as she giggles.
>"Hey guys."
>"Caaaap."
>"Good morning Vex, Angel." Charon says as she makes some tea.
 
"Good morning everypony, is there enough tea for me too Charon?"
>Charon smiles, laughing softly.
>"You and Cobalt are just addicted aren't you? Yes, there is always plenty."
>"I'll take one too please." Angel says as he grabs you and him some food.
>You sit down and look over at Chaos and Fixer, smiling.
"Somepony looks tired, you alright Fixer?"
>"Wonderfuuuuuuul." Fixer says, giggling still.
>"She going to be alright?" Angel asks.
>"Based on her verbal description that she gave earlier, she will recover from her condition easily." Chaos says as she passes out the tea.
"And what condition is that?"
>"I got fucked silly!"
>"That works." Charon says with a smile.
 
"Is that an official medical terminology?"
>"No, but Fixer is an exception."
>Fixer hugs Chaos's foreleg, giggling still.
>"Chaos, you effectively broke her." Angel says.
>"Oops." Chaos laughs as he hugs Fixer back.
>You begin to eat, looking at possible jobs.
>Transport escort: 4000 credits.
>Medical delivery: 3000 credits.
>Patrol job: 3000 credits.
>Pirate elimination: 5000 credits
 
>You accept the delivery and escort jobs, turning back to your crew.
"How many times did you two go at it?"
>Chaos shakes his head with a smile.
>"Since she will scream it to the whole station, about three times with breaks in between. Though i think Fixer is like this because of the warm up i had to give her each time. There was some concern in size difference, so i had to be extra sure and careful."
>"Was she able to handle it?"
>"Surprisingly, yes. i was able to treat her like any other mare without worry."
>Angel nods and gives you a nuzzle.
>"Heavy work day today?"
"Possibly, anything could happen. Though i did take the two easy jobs so far."
>"Why?"
>You smile, looking at the brothers.
"Well, not to get you two all excited. I was thinking after these two jobs, we could visit a certain family at a certain colony."
>Both the brothers perk up at your words, smiling.
>"Our colony?" Chaos asks
"Yes. It's a maybe, i bet your mother and Cotton would like the visit."
>"Gives us a chance to introduce the mares, and i bet ma would cook food for the entire crew." Angel says.
>Fixer looks up at Chaos.
>"Cotton?"
>"Our little sister, you will like her"
 
"Just be sure to call ahead of time, wouldn't want to cause trouble if we bring the whole crew."
>Angel smiles and nods.
>"We will make sure to."
"Good, let's finish eating and get to work."
>You and the crew get back to your food, Cobalt and Sky joining all of you for breakfast as you eat.
>When finished, your crew loads up the cargo as you check the specifics of the transport job.
>It's just another routine protection job, you are to escort a transport and make sure it survives possible attack.
>Once loaded, you and your crew take off, meeting up with the transport.
>As you begin escorting the transport, Chaos arives at the bridge with a smile.
>"Ma knows we are coming, she's gona keep it a secret from Cotton though, so be prepared for an excited filly."
 
"Good, let's hurry this along so we can go see them, Cotton was so adorable last time."
>Chaos nods as he takes his seat.
>"I can't wait to have some real food."
>"Yea, i'd love some mashed potatoes right now." Angel says.
>"Will there be desert?" Cobalt asks.
>"I bet, ma never left anything out when cooking."
>"Yea. Just think soon we will..."
>Chaos stops as he looks at the monitor, looking suprised.
>"Oh shit. Five ships, in formation, they are coming right at us."
 
"Ready all weapons! What formation are they in?"
>"A V formation, like a flight of birds. Four small ships and a frigate leader."
>You radio the transport.
"Transport ship hold back, unknown threat detected."
>"Understood, full stop."
>"Guns ready!"
>You open up a channel again, communicating to the unknown force.
"Attention unknown ships! State your objective and intentions or you will be fired upon!"
>The speakers projects a female voice.
>"Captain of the Artemis, on behalf of a group of pirates, burn in hell."
>The ships open fire, three of them hitting your shields.
>"Shit!"
 
"Focus fire on the lead ship! Weave and keep our distance!"
>"Got it!"
>The forward lasers and beam cannons all fire, hitting the shields of the frigate.
>The lasers keep firing as Angel turns the ship, sweeping and hitting the shields of two smaller ships on the left.
>The pirate ships turn with you, some turning sharper and others turning less as the all fire again.
>Only two of the pirates hit your shields as they continue their charge towards you.
"Fire! They should retreat when the frigate is destroyed!"
>Your cannons fire and hit the frigate again, getting through its shields and hitting the body of the ship.
"Again!"
>Your cannons fire at the same time as the pirates, your shields taking many hits as you destroy the frigate.
>The smaller ships continue their assault, speeding up as they begin to flank you.
>"Those smaller ships are faster and not retreating, they are trying to surround us!" Angel says.
 
"Figures, they want us dead. What are our shields at?"
>"65%." Sky says.
"Alright, we need to break their formation arpund us. Charge at one of the slower ones and force our way out!"
>"You got it Vex."
>Angel turns the ship and makes it charge forward, headding for one of the pirate ships as they fire at you again.
>All the guns fire at the one smaller ship as you close in, cutting right through it's shields and destroying it as you push through.
>The other pirates take the chance to get in a few shots while your ship is turned, all three of them hitting you.
"Turn us around, attack the others!"
>Your shields take more hits as you turn, the pirates closing the distance.
>The cannons fire at the pirates as you face towards them, getting through and destroying one of the ships as the other two get very close.
>"Shields at 40%!"
>"They are getting close, they want to ram us!"
 
"Let's go right at them, shoot at one of them and veer right!"
>Once again you charge and exchange with the pirates.
>You focus fire on one of the ships, getting through its shields and damaging it badly.
>The ship explodes and you fly past it, beginning to turn.
>"The fuck?" Chaos says, "That last ship is still attacking."
"What?"
>You look on the screen and see the ship turning towards you, still shooting.
>"Saves us the trouble of chasing it." Angel says.
>"Shields at 20% Vex!"
>You sigh.
"Take them out."
>With a few volleys, you destroy the last ship as it shoots you, watching as it explodes.
>"Shilelds at 15%."
>"Wow. Guess they really wanted us dead." Chaos says.
 
"That was much too easy if they were that dedicated. Watch the scanners, let's head back the the transport."
>"Think we pissed somepony off?" Fixer asks with a yawn.
"That, or they were paid or offered a good amount of credits. It bothers me how dedicated they were."
>"Could it be the pirates that we rescued that family from? I bet they would be mad." Cobalt says.
"Either way, let's focus on keeping watch for more."
>Your crew nods and keeps at their stations as your ship moves back to the transport.
"Anything?"
>"Only the transport, the area is clear from what i see." Chaos says.
>You get back and find the transport in one piece, being hailed by them.
>"Artemis, that was an impressive display of firepower. Are we able to move again?"
 
"Yes, we can move again. Let's hurry and get you to your destination."
>"Roger."
>Once your ship is turned around, you continue on, your crew watching the scanners closely.
>The journey goes smoothly as you arrive at your destination, the transport captain thanking you.
>You recieve payment and check your accounts, seeing you have 34850 credits.
>Chaos smiles at you, looking excited.
>"So just the delivery and we are good? We can go to our colony?"
>"Could we stop at the station we deliver to for a few minutes before we go? i wana check something." Angel says.
>"Oh come on! We have ma's home coooking waiting, and you want to check something?"
>"It's like five minutes!"
 
"Yes we can, we will hurry for the colony when Angel is done."
>"Sweet!"
>The journey to drop off the supplies goes smoothly, no more attacks happening.
>When you dock at the station, Angel takes off, hurrying to take care of buisness.
>You oversee the supplies being unloaded, one of the dock workers paying you the credits.
>As you move back to the ship, you see Angel trotting back, carrying a bag.
"Got what you need?"
>"Yep! Gotta keep my promise to my little sister, but there is something else."
>Angel fiddles with the bag and pulls something out, moving towards you.
>He puts his hooves around your neck and you hear a faint clicking, a slightly cold feeling against you as he pulls away.
>You look down and see a necklace with a tiny silver heart hanging from it, a V indentation and little green emerald in it.
>"Just a little something for my marefriend, saw it and thought of her."
 
>You give Angel a kiss, smiling.
"Aww, how thoughtful of you Angel, it's pretty."
>"Glad you like it, been meaning to give you something a little more personal then the swimsuit."
"I love it, I'll never take it off."
>Angel smiles at you, love coming from him.
>"Come on, let's hurry before Chaos gets on our cases."
>You close up the ship and take off, heading towards the colony.
>It takes a little bit, but you arrive at the colony, your crew excited as they step onto land.
>Chaos and Angel both lead the way to their house, giving a knock at the door.
>The door opens up and you see Sunflower, the older mare looking happy when she sees you all, hugging her sons.
>"Boys! I'm so happy to see you."
>She lets go of them and moves to you, giving you a hug.
>"And you too Vex, I'm so glad that you are all safe."
 
>You hug the mare back, giving her a smile.
"I kept my word and will continue to keep it, i wouldn't dare let a thing happen to my favourite stallions."
>You look back at your crew moving to the side.
"Everypony, this is sunflower, Chaos and Angel's mother."
>Each of your crew introduces themselves, greeting the older mare.
>"Please, all of you, come inside."
>You and your crew all enter the house, being led into the same living room that you were in last time.
>You all sit down, Angel sitting closely to you.
>"This is a very nice house." Cobalt says with a smile.
>Sunflower smiles, sitting across from you and the crew.
>"Thank you. Supper still is cooking and Cotton should be home soon."
"Good, i can't wait to see her, she is a very cute filly."
>Sunflower laughs softly, nodding.
>"So tell me, have you all been well and doing well? Anything interesting happen in your adventures?"
 
"We have all been quite well, though it's hard to find out where to start. Our ship is great thanks to Sky, and Fixer has built a very nice suit that Chaos has used. We've seen some conflict here and there, but we have all come back alive every time."
>"Have any of you gotten hurt?"
"Sometimes, but we are always making sure our equipment can protect us more."
>"The pain that we do get is worth it though," Chaos says, "we have saved plenty of ponies as we go along. We rescued a family recently."
>"Really? I'm glad to know that you boys are doing good out there. You all get along then?"
>"Yep, Chaos and Angel have been good friends." Sky says.
>"It's true, they can be rowdy, but your sons are quite the helpful." Charon says.
>Sunflower nods.
>"You are all close then?"
"Very, we all care for each other."
>"Some are closer than others though." Angel says, giving you a nuzzle.
>Sunflower smiles, looking at you and Angel.
>"Really now?"
>"He's not the only one." Chaos says, putting a hoof around Fixer.
>Sundlower nods, smiling still.
>"I'm glad to see my boys are finding a speical somepony."
>You nuzzle Angel back, looking back to Sunflower.
"How is Cotton anyways? Is the medicine helping?"
>Sunflower sighs, a slightly sad look on her face as she nods.
>"As much as it did before, she will always her her disease. But thanks to you she will live longer, the medicine you got back made sure she will see her next birthday."
>"A disease?" Charon asks.
>"Yes, one that causes neural decay. She will always need medicine, but we can make ends meet and make sure she lives a long life."
>You can hear a door open in around the corner, a familliar voice calling.
>"Mom! I'm home!"
>The brothers get up and sit in the middle of the room, Chaos huming a tune loudly.
>There is a clatter of tiny hooves as a white filly runs around the corner, looking excited.
>"Chaos and Angel!"
>Cotton squees as she runs up and gives her brothers a hug, looking over to you happily.
>"Vex!"
 
"Cotton!"
>You smile widely and hold your forelegs open, the little filly pushing past her brothers and giving you a hug.
>She giggles as you hug her back, lifting the filly up a little.
"How are you?"
>"I'm great! i can't believe everypony is here! Who are they?"
"The rest of the crew, our friends. Their names are Sky, Cobalt, Charon, And Quick Fixer. Can you tell me who is who?"
>Cotton looks at your crew, humming as she keep looking at all of them.
>"Quick Fixer must be the robo pony, that way she can repair herself with her laser hoof."
>Fixer laughs, looking at Chaos.
>"You are right, i do like her."
>"Charon spunds like a name for a mare and sounds odd, so Charon must be the zebra. Cobalt is... a metal i think, and metals are strong. so the griffon must be Cobalt because he is strong. And Sky must be the batpony because she flies in the night sky!"
>Your crew all laughs, the filly looking at you happily.
>"Did i get it right?"
 
>You laugh and ruffle the soft mane on Cotton's head.
"Close, you got half. The batpony is Cobalt and the griffon is Sky. But there is the million credit question that needs to be answered."
>"What is it?"
"Who looks the coolest of the entire crew?"
>The filly giggles putting a hoof to your nose.
>"Always the captian! The robo pony gets second place!"
>The laughter is interrupted by a ringing sound comes and Sunflower gets up.
>"Thats my cue to get back to cooking, food will be ready soon."
>As Sunflower walks off, Fixer gets up.
>"Come on Chaos, show me around, i wana see your room and the stuff you have."
>"You just wana snoop don't you?"
>"Maybe."
>"Alright, a quick tour."
>"But i wana see you!" Cotton complains.
>"Give him a moment, you can have this till he gets back." Angel says with a smile.
>As Fixer and Chaos walk off, Angel gives Cotton the bag from earlier, the filly looking excited.
>Cotton digs through the bag and pulls out a plush toy, hugging it tightly.
>"It's cute!"
 
"Better say thank you, Angel made us late for that."
>"Come on, food was still cooking and it was five minutes!"
>Cotton giggles and hugs Angel, smiling.
>"Thanks Angel."
>Angel smiles and hugs her back, ruffling her mane.
>"Anything for my little sister."
>"Aweeeee." Cobalt says.
>"Shush you." Angel says with a smile.
"What is it anyways?"
>"One of the space critters!"
>"It's a show she watches."
>As Chaos and Fixer return, Sunflower walks in with a smile.
>"Come along everypony, it's early, but supper is ready."
>You all get up and head into the kitchen, seeing quite the spread before you.
>Mashed potatoes, corn, pasta salad, lasagna, a couple of sliced fruits and vegetables, even some meat.
>"Go ahead and take as much as you want, but save room for desert. Chaos said that there were some meat eaters, so i hope i cooked it right."
 
"It looks great!"
>"That is a lot of food." Sky says.
>"Of course! I bet you were all working today, you need a big meal." Sunflower says with a smile.
>You all serve yourselves and sit down, digging into the delicious meal.
>Looking around as you eat, you see gour crew is having a good time, all chatting as they eat.
>When you all are finished, you see Chaos leaning back, patting his stomach.
>"Good as ever ma."
"Yes, it was really good, thank you.
>"Thanks sunflower."
>"Thank you."
>Sunflower smiles, laughing softly.
>"My pleasure. I hope you all saved room though, pie doesn't eat itself."
>You see Cobalt perk up, looking excited.
>"What kind?"
>"Cherry, apple, and pumpkin."
>As Cobalt gets up, you feel a tightness around your hindleg.
>Looking down, you see cotton hugging you, looking a little sad.
>"You all don't need to go soon right? can we all play some hoofball?"
 
"Well, I don't think some of us are going to be able to move once we finish."
>You look over to Chaos, seeing him sigh.
>Cotton giggles, nodding.
"But yes, we can stay longer and play some hoofball."
>"Yay!"
"Anypony want to play hoofball? Cotton wants to play."
>"I'll play." Fixer says.
>"Me too." Charon says.
>Cobalt nods, eatting some pie.
"What about you guys?"
>"I'm in." Angel says.
>"I may pop the ball, so i better stay out."
>Chaos just groans, lookng tired.
>"Three on three works, let's go out back after some pie."
>Once you all completely finish, you go outside, beginning to play the game.
>For a few hours, you all play hoofball, having a good time playing with your crew and Cotton.
>After some goals and several tumbles from Fixer, things slow down.
>You see Cotton yawning, blinking a few times.
>"Somepony looks tired." Angel says.
>"Am not." Cotton says with another yawn.
 
>You lean towards Cobalt, whispering.
"Act tired, maybe you wanting to go to bed will help convince her to do the same."
>You move to Cotton, smiling.
"Are you sure? You sound tired."
>"Uh-hu, I'm fine."
"But look at Cobalt, she looks ready for bed, she needs her sleep."
>Cobalt gives a huge yawn, her eyes half shut.
"Come on, ponies need their sleep."
>"Mmmh." the filly whines, looking more tired.
>Cotton doesn't put up a fight as you lift her with your magic, setting her on Angel's back.
>"Thanks Vex, I'll take her."
>As Angel take his sister, Cobalt turns to you with a smile.
>"That was kinda fun, we going captain?"
"Yes, almost. When Angel finishes we will."
>Your crew begins to head back inside, Sunflower speaking up as they do.
>"Excuse me, Fixer?"
>Fixer turns back, looking suprised.
>"Huh? Yeh, that's me."
>"Come here please, you too Vex."
>Fixer trots next to you and Sunflower, looking confused.
>"I just wanted to ask something."
>"I'm 26 I swear." Fixer says.
>Sunflower laughs, shaking her head.
>"No, no. You are close though. I just wanted to make sure, my boys are treating you two properly right? are they being gentlecolts?"
 
>You nod, smiling at the older mare.
"Angel is very nice to me, i honestly couldn't be happier."
>Fixer shrugs and nods.
>"Me and Chaos just hooked up, but i can say that he knows how to treat a mare properly."
>Sunflower nods.
>"Good, i was just making sure that my boys haven't forgotten their manners."
"Don't worry, we can put them in their place if need be."
>Sunflower laughs, smiling brightly.
>You all head inside and wait with the rest of the crew, Angel arriving shortly.
>"Fast asleep."
>"Thank you Angel." Sunflower says, looking towards you. "I suppose it's that time isn't it? Thank you so much for visiting, I'm glad i got to see all of you alive and well."
>The mare moves to you and gives you a hug.
>"You are all welcome here anytime, please come back soon. And be safe."
 
"Oh we will be back, i can guarantee it. Thank you for having us and for the meal. Besure to tell Cotton goodbye for us amd that we look forward to another game."
>"I will." Sunflower says with a smile.
>You all say goodbye, Chaos and Angel giving their mother a hug before they go.
>You all head back to the ship, your crew looking either tired or happy.
>"Your sister was soooo cute!" Cobalt says, looking at Angel.
>"Yea, she is. Makes it worth it that we got her medicine back."
>Angel nuzzles you.
>"And we have the best mare in the universe to thank for that."
>"Suck up." Chaos says, "But seriously, thanks again Vex."
>As you all board the ship, you see Cobalt giving a yawn.
>"Maybe that yawn earlier wasn't so fake." She giggles.
 
"Yes, it's about time we all go to bed, we all need our rest."
>You lean close to her and whisper.
"Go to my quarters."
>Cobalt smiles before taking off.
>"Good night everypony!"
>"Yea, sleep for me too. that meal ma made is practically putting me to sleep." Chaos says.
>"Want some help working it off later?" Fixer says nudgeing him.
>Chaos laughs before nodding, him and Fixer walking off.
>You say goodnight to the rest of the crew and go with Angel to your quarters.
>When you arrive, you see Cobalt on your bed laying on her side.
>She looks at you and Angel with a smile, rolling onto her back, looking sleepy.
>"What's a mare like you doing here?" Angel asks with a smile.
>"Being a good pony and following orders." Cobalt giggles.
 
>You smile at both of them, moving to Cobalt.
"Are you ready?"
>Cobalt blushes as you get realy close, looking curious.
>"For what?"
"For hot and vigorous..."
>Cobalt's face glows brightly as you hover practically muzzle to mizzle, nuzzleing suddenly and making her giggle.
"Cuddles!"
>You hear Angel chuckling and look back at him.
"I figure it would be nice if we all fell asleep together again."
>Angel nods, moving to the bed.
>"Sure, i don't mind one bit."
>"Can i be in the middle this time?" Cobalt asks.
"Sure."
>"First thing though." She says with a grin.
"Whats that?"
>Cobalt gives you a peck on the lips, doing the same to Angel.
>"Goodnight kisses!"
>Angel laughs, giving you a hug and a kiss, holding it for a little bit.
>You all lay down and get comfortable, Cobalt nuzzleing into your chest as Angel pulls you both close.
>You all say goodnight, falling asleep in the warmth of each other.
>When you awake, you see Cobalt looking at you with a smile, her face just a little red.
>She gives you a peck, giggleing quietly as Angel sleeps.
 
>You smile at Cobalt, whispering.
"Good morning Cobalt."
>You return the kiss, nuzzling her.
"Sleep well? Did you enjoy being in the middle?
>"Yes and yes, it's really warm. did you sleep well?"
"I did."
>Angel stirs a little, opening his eyes.
>Cobalt turns over towards him, giving Angel a nuzzle.
>You stand up and move closer, nuzzling him as well.
"Good morning handsome stallion."
>"Good morning pretty mare. Good morning Cobalt."
>You all spend a little more time waking up and cuddling, headding down to the mess.
>Chaos and Fixer are both there, sitting next to each other this time.
>"Morning guys." Chaos says
"Good morning."
>"Not so cuddly this morning you two?" Angel says, sitting down.
>"Oh no, i just need to be ready." Fixer says with a smile.
>You can hear some heavy walking that isn't hooves, almost stomping.
>Fixer moves to one of the storage cabinets, opening it.
>"Nopony saw me." She whispers as she hides inside it.
>Sky walks in, looking slightly annoyed as he grins.
>"Where is Fixer?"
 
"Funny, we were just talking about how suprised we were that she isn't cuddling Chaos. Why? What's up?"
>Sky keeps up his grin, holding up two objects, the first being a ball of yarn.
>"I found about 50 of these in my room and this..."
>Sky waves a laser pointer with tape on it, the laser still shining.
>"Was stuck to my head."
>Both the brothers snicker, Cobalt biting her lip as she tries to keep a straight face.
"Really now?"
>"Thats not the kicker. She unpluged the door pannel to the inside of my room, i thought she rigged a timed lock until i saw i just needed to plug it back in."
>"How are you sure it was her?" Angel asks.
>Sky holds up a piece of paper, the words "Have fun Feathers" on it with a little smiley face.
>"Evidence on the door pannel."
>Sky chuckles, the same look on his face.
>"Don't worry, i won't hurt her. I just wana give her a firm hug. A nice... griffon hug."
 
"You know, i bet griffion hugs are soft. Probably really nice with the feathers and all."
>"An inside source i have can vouch for that." Chaos says.
>"Like i said, a firm hug. She not here?"
>You shake your head.
"Nope, we just got here and found Chaos."
>Sky sighs, nodding.
>"I'll find her later. If you will excuse me, i need to dispose of some unwanted things."
>Once Sky leaves in the direction he came, Fixer pops her head out, smiling.
>"I love you all so much right now." she says as she laughs.
>She moves over to Chaos, getting between his hooves, lungeing and nipping his jaw.
>"Remind me to buy you all a huge pizza for this."
 
"We all will take you up on that offer. How and when did you manage all that? Where did you get 50 balls of yarn?"
>Fixer crosses her hooves, looking proud.
>"Pff, gotta love craft stores. Getting it all done was a bit more involved though, I had to figure out how to unplug the door pannel. After i did that, i just needed to dump the yarn and stick the laser to his head before walking out. Took maybe five minutes?"
>Chaos laughs.
>"You did that when you went to get a glass of water last night didn't you?"
>"Maybe. This is only the beginning though, Feathers will be out for blood when i am done. Figuratively speaking of course."
"Just don't push him too far, pranks are fine, but if there is issues you will both deal with me."
>"Yea, word to the wize, Vex will make you remember the punishment." Chaos says.
>You grab a meal package, looking at the local job list.
>Find a missing cargo ship: 3000 credits.
>Search and rescue: 4000 credits.
>Pirate hunt: 5000 credits.
 
>You open the search and rescue job, looking at the description.
>The employer is asking that a ship looks for survivors of a crash, the location being a planet in an area with heavy pirate activity.
>You do the same with the other job, looking it over.
>A cargo ship stopped transmitting it's position and is assumed to have been attacked, the employer is asking for the ship and crew to be located.
>There is a side note asking for the possible retrieval of precious cargo.
 
>You accept the jobs, continuing to dig into your meal.
>Out of the coner of your eye, you see Charon walk in, the zebra doctor trying to contain a soft laugh.
>"Was that you that did that to Sky?" She asks, pointing a hoof at Fixer.
>"What me? No! I'm a little angel."
>"You are far from an angel." Chaos says with a smile.
>Charon laughs, moving to the cabinets.
>"Who wants tea before we start working? Vex? Cobalt?"
 
"Give us some tea Charon, we always want some."
>"Yes please." Cobalt says.
>"Add me as well, it's growing on me." Angel says.
>You all finish breakfast and get moving, headding for the crash site.
>You explain the job along the way, Charon getting prepared for the survivors.
>When you all arive, you find the wreckage, parts of it still burning even though it is raining.
>"Wow, talk about a crash." Chaos says, looking at a display.
>Angel looks back at you, keeping the ship steady.
>"How are we doing this Vex? Ground? Ground and air?"
 
"Let's split into teams, some of us can monitor from the air and the others can search on the ground."
>"Alright then," Angel says, "who wants to stay up here with me?"
>"I will." Sky says.
"Alright then, set us down as close as you can Angel."
>You land a little ways away from the crash due to trees, the rest of your crew unloading onto the ground.
>With the help of the ship, you get to the crash site, the rain getting you all wet.
>Looking around, you can see hoofprints in the ground.
>They are leading in every direction, most of them from and towards the ship.
>"Why aren't they coming to us? shouldn't they be happy that rescue is here?" Fixer asks.
>"They probably think we are pirates." Chaos says.
 
"Hang on, let's see where these tracks go."
>You follow the hoofprints, most of them just leading in circles.
>There is a huge area of upturned earth near a set, leading back to the ship.
>You see Charon at the ends of the large trail, looking at a bloody metal plate.
>"They were bringing the wounded back."
"Then we are off to a good start, we know that there are survivors. Chaos and i will take point, everypony else stay alert as we check the ship."
>You all move inside the ship, muddy tracks and blood going down the lit halls.
>Following the tracks, you get to a living quarters, four rooms on both the right and left sides.
>The muddy tracks go into each of the rooms before continuing down the hall.
 
"Hello? We are a team that is here to help, we have a doctor that can treat the wounded."
>Your voice echos down both ways of the long hall, not a single response coming.
>"Ehh figures," Fixer says, "That's the kinda thing they expect to hear from sompony that could be a pirate."
>"But real pirates wouldn't care, they would probably just walk in and attack." Chaos says.
>"True but-"
>"Shhhhh." Cobalt interupts.
>You look at her, seeing her ears twitch before she walks to one of the rooms, giving the door a knock.
>"Hello? I can hear you in there. I know it's hard to believe, but we really want to help. Can you please come out?"
>After a pause, the door opens and Cobalt steps back, a pink mare with a large cut across her muzzle stepping out.
>She drops a knife, her eyes watering a little.
>"Are you really here to resc-"
>The mare's eyes lock onto you and stay there, her pupils shrinking as she steps back.
 
>You sigh, looking at the mare.
"Yes, I'm a changeling. I'm here to help though, I'm not with the swarm. Can you let my doctor look at you and take us to the other survivors?"
>The mare looks nervous as she stops backing away, nodding.
>Charon approaches her, pulling out a cloth and gently dabbing at the cut on the mare's muzzle.
"My name is Vex, can you tell me who you are?"
>"Lemonade."
"Alright Lemonade, me and my crew are going to get you all out of here. We want to hurry before pirates come, so I'm going to transform into a pony, that way i don't scare the others."
>The mare nods, watching you transform.
>When Charon finishes patching the cut on the mare's muzzle, all of you follow the mare, going further down the hall.
>You all get to a open area with more ponies, some of them laying on bloody cloths.
>They all jump in suprise at you and your crew, some hiding or grabbing makeshift weapons.
>"We're being rescued! These ponies are here to save us!" Lemonade says.
"Yes, don't worry, we-"
>The ship shakes, startling most of the surviving ponies.
>"Vex, It's Angel! We are engageing two ships, Did you have any luck?"
 
"Yes, we found them. Some are pretty bad though. Deal with the pirates and land, we need to hurry before more come.
>"Already on it!"
>You look to your crew and to the survivors.
"Pirates. We need to hurry and get moving. Can the injured be carried?"
>Some of the surviving ponies nod, readying makeshift stretchers.
>Once they are ready, You and Chaos lead them through the halls and back to where you came in, more explosions rocking the wrecked ship.
>"Ships are delt with Vex, touching down."
"Good. Let's move! We have our chance!"
>You all move through the halls and outside, running through the rain, helping some of the ponies that fall.
>You all board the ship once you see it, quickly getting all the surviving ponies aboard.
>"Vex! We got two more ships on radar!"
 
"Get us out of here Angel, we are not staying to fight."
>"Right away!"
>The ships doors close as it takes off, a few flashes of light from your ships cannons shining in as they do.
>Your ship shakes as you get away, a sigh being heard over the radio as Angel talks to you after a bit.
>"Alright, we got away."
"Good work Angel."
>Looking to the injured ponies, you see Charon is already helping them, Cobalt assisting her.
>Lemonade approaches you, smiling.
>"Thank you for saving us. I'm sorry for how i reacted earlier."
 
"It's alright, you were on edge and suprised. Though i do accept your apology."
>Lemonade nods and begins to turn.
"Could you tell me more about the crash before you go? Tell me what happened?"
>Lemonade turns back and nods again.
>"It happed really fast, so i don't know exactly what happened. i also blacked out when we were hit and awoke to being draged. Before that though, alarms were sounding and ponies were screaming about a pirates, we were hit and crashed very quickly apparently. One of the pilots said it was odd though."
"How so?"
>"I overheard him talking about how there were no missile warnings, but that our shields were ineffective. "The pirates just shot through our shield." he said. When i asked what happened, everypony knew about as much as i did."
 
"So their guns were really strong then? Does anypony know what the ship looked like?"
>Lemonade shrugs.
>"I guess? I don't know anything about guns. Hang on a second though."
>Lemonade walks off, grabbing a stallion and coming back.
>"This is the pilot, Steadyhoof. He saw the ship."
"Can you tell me about the pirate ship? what it looked like?"
>The stallion nods.
>"From the glimse i got, it was red with some white stripes, and it had a burning pony skull on it i think."
 
>You nod at the two ponies.
"Alright, thank you. Tell everypony that they are welcome to eat in the mess hall. We will get to a station soon."
>"Thank you again."
>You leave the surviving ponies to Charon, letting her work at their wounds.
>You arrive at the intended station in good time, putting a message through to the employer when you get close.
>A medical team is ready to accept the ponies when you arrive at the station, a few of the surviving ponies thanking you as they go.
>Once they are all on their way, you change back and check your accounts, seeing that you have received the payment for the job.
>Your crew has gathered in the cargo bay, looking out at the station as the last of the ponies go.
>"The amount of lives we have saved is starting to get up there." Angel says with a smile.
>"I think that is my favourite part of working on this ship so far, we save so many ponies." Charon says.
 
>You nod, smiling.
"It's a nice feeling. it helps that i have a great crew to do it with."
>"Awwee, we love you too Vex." Chaos says.
>Your crew laughs a little, positive emotions coming from all of them.
"Come on everypony, we have work to do. Let's go find that cargo ship."
>You take off and head towards the last known position of the cargo ship.
>When you arrive, you are greeted with empty space, no planets or structures near by.
>"Well, this should be fun." Chaos says.
>"Do we know anything about the ship? something that could give it away?" Cobalt asks.
 
"No, the only thing i can think of is what it looks like and the cargo we are to look out for. Could we trace it somehow? Is there a signal of sorts that we can use."
>"A rescue pinger usualy transmits every half hour, i could get us a heading with that. As long as it isn't destroyed that is." Sky says.
"Let's try it."
>A few minutes after Sky uses a control pannel for the sensors, you get a direction, heading towards it.
>After an hour of following the pings and making a corse correction, you stumble upon a wrecked ship that somewhat matches the picture you were given.
>Parts are floating everywhere, the ship in several pieces.
>"What happened?" Cobalt asks.
"Good question. Anything on the sensors?"
>"Nope." Chaos says
>'Help us'
>Angel turns to you, smiling.
>"Time for a space walk Vex? Check for survivors and that cargo?"
>'It's cold'
 
"Yes, let's go and have a look."
>"Me and Sky will stay, keep an eye out while you guys look around." Angel says.
>After you show the crew what the needed cargo looks like, you and your crew suit up and head out, getting closer to the wreckage.
>'There is only eight of us now.'
>"I really hope somepony is alive." Cobalt says.
>"Maybe somepony is, i found you in a place like this, i doubt they all are dead." Chaos says.
>You and your crew begin to search, seeing some cargo and what looks like floating ponies.
>When you get close, you see some ponies are without suits or masks, their frozen bodies lifelessly floating in space.
>'Where is mother?'
>"Shit" Chaos says, looking at a pony with a suit.
"What is it? A survivor?"
>Chaos looks at a screen on the suit of the pony.
>"No, she is dead. Out of air. Recommend air replacment was... four hours ago."
>You hear a sigh from Cobalt.
>"Same here..."
>"Well, i kinda have good news, I found the cargo container we were looking for." Fixer says.
 
"Uhh, i hate to ask. Is anypony else hearing voices that are calling for help?"
>Your crew remains silent, Cobalt being the first to speak.
>"Umm... no?"
>"Nope."
>"Not at all. You tired cap? Angel keeping you up late?" Fixer snickers.
>'There is only seven now. Why won't mother save us?'
>You shake your head, sighing.
"Just get that cargo aboard the ship and keep searching."
>"Right away cap."
>"You feeling alright Vex?"
"Yes. Keep searching."
>You look over more floating ponies, finding them dead or frozen.
>'It's warm."
>"Cargo is aboard the ship cap, im goibg to secure it." Fixer says.
>'There is a voice. It's not mother.'
 
"Fixer, is there something written on the cargo? Anything worth noting?"
>There is a pause before she answers.
>"Not really, hust the red square that made it stand out."
"Alright, secure it and do only that."
>You and your crew keep searching, having the same results as before.
>'Please save us mother, another one of us is gone.'
>A beeping sound alerts you, your air beginning to run low.
"Alright everypony, i'm calling it in. We can conclude that there are no survivors."
>"Damn."
>You all head back to the ship, boarding it and sealing the doors.
"Angel, start taking us back please."
>"Yep."
>Fixer trots up to you.
>"Couldn't find anything on the cargo still. What? Are you curious as to what it is? Why not crack it open?"
>"I'm a little curious too. Why was this thing so special that it in specific needed to be secured?" Chaos asks.
 
>You feel your heart pound at a sudden realization.
"Oh shit."
>"What?" Chaos asks.
>You try to comunicate like you did in the hive.
'hello?'
>'Not mother. Where is mother? We are hungry.'
>You turn towards Charon.
"Charon, get some medical equipment to the cargo bay. Everypony else, with me."
>"Vex?"
"I have a suspicion. let's open that cargo, we can close it again if i am wrong."
>You all head to the cargo bay, Charon ariving late with some medical kits.
>You move to the container and get it open, Fixer flying above and looking inside with you.
>'it's bright.'
>"Geeee cap, killer green bouncy balls. Wait, correction. glowing green bouncy balls."
>"The hell? What kind of cargo is this?" Chaos asks.
>You take a good look in the container, seeing the green orbs.
>A whole clutch of changeling eggs lay dead and dark, either cracked or lacking their glow, about six of them faintly glowing.
>"Captian? What's wrong?" Cobalt asks.
>One of the eggs looses it's glow, becoming dark like the others.
>'Help us mother. Only five of us are alive now. We are hungry.'
 
"Somepony take over for Angel and get him in here. Charon, get me a something clean to hold these in, make sure it is soft and cushioned."
>"Vex, what the hell is going on?"
>You look up at Chaos, feeling concerned.
"They are baby changelings, and they are almost dead. I need Angel in here to save them."
>"Oh!" Charin exclaims, sprinting off.
>"Changelings? what?" Fixer says.
>"I'll get Angel." Chaos says.
>You focus on the eggs, pushing as much love energy to them as you can.
>The eggs begin to glow brighter, slowly but steadily as you feel some fatigue set in.
>'It feels better. We feel safe.'
>Charon rushes back in with some containers that are lined with blankets and pillows, setting them next to you.
>Seeing the the eggs are getting their glow back, you move them away from the dead eggs, gently setting them down with your magic.
>As you move the last egg, you see it glowing not as bright as the others and bring it close, cradling it in your hooves.
>You feed the egg directly, watching closely as it slowly glows brighter, feeling more fatigued.
>Your mind drifts a little as you think about the genetic mod and Angel, a grin forming on your face as you cradle the egg.
"<Hello little hatchling. Do you feel better?>"
>'Yes. Is that you mother?'
>"What is she doing? What is that chittering?" Fixer asks.
>"She could be speaking changeling. Some of the Serpent crew met changelings and say they talk like that." Cobalt says.
>"I'm here! Chaos said it was urgent and thaaaaaaaa- what are those?" Angel asks.
 
"Hatchlings, and they are starveing to death. Only five of a whole clutch are left. I need you to focus on me and how much you love me so i can keep them alive."
>"Shit."
>Angel moves to you, looking over the eggs.
>Seeing that the one you are cradling is back up to pace with the others, you set it down and return focus to all of them.
>'please pick me up again mother.'
>Angel wraps his hooves around you and nuzzles you, love radiating from him.
>You feed off of Angel and feed the eggs, watching them closely.
>'More. We need more food.'
>You continue feeding the eggs, Angel whispering into your ear about what he thinks of you and about the times the two of you had made love.
>"They are getting brighter!" Cobalt gasps.
>You keep going and feel very fatigued as time goes on, watching the eggs.
>They eventualy glow brightly and you stop feeding and giving love, looking as healthy as you remember eggs in the hive.
>'Thank you.'
>Angel sighs and leans against you, a tired look on his face.
>"Are they good?" He asks.
"Yes, are you alright?"
>"Tired. i need a coffee."
>"I hate to interrupt this moment. What. The. Fuck! Are changeling eggs doing being shipped like cargo?" Fixer shouts.
>"What are we going to do about them? they are just babies." Cobalt says.
 
"Changelings sometimes do ship our eggs through enemy territory. I don't think is would be changelings that shipped them though, we are careful with our eggs and watch them closely. The way these were handled and stored makes me think these were stolen."
>"So we take them back then?" Fixer asks.
"That is the problem, Chrysalis would use then as minions and make them hurt ponies. They would be condemned to a life of evil and orders."
>Angel nods.
>"And i assume you have the same issues with the ponies that hired us?"
"Yes. They could be changelings, or they could be wanting the eggs badly for something."
>"They didn't specify what the cargo had, they must want to keep it secret."
>"Experiments maybe? Have them be test subjects for weapons? No offence when i say this, but changelings are still enemies of many ponies. A weapon to kill an army of them would make a killing on the market." Fixer says.
>There is a slight pause before you continue.
"There is also the possibility of sending them to an orphanage, but I don't know if they would be accepted anywhere."
>"I'm sure there is a dedicated orpanage for changelings or that has changelings that could help, we just need to look for one." Charin says.
>"What if we kept them? Raised them?" Cobalt asks.
>Charon nods.
>"It would be possible, a child is still a child. If a pony could raise a griffon, a changeling would be no different in theory. Though we could only hold onto one. Too many would cause trouble and be hard to keep track of in dire situations."
>Fixer snickers.
>"You were holding that egg closely cap."
>"That is the other thing, the responsibility and care of the child would fall mostly to you Vex. You are a changeling, so you know their behaviour and the things they need to know like feeding. None of us would know enough to be the adopted mother."
>You nod, looking down at the eggs.
>"Would they be alright for a night? Why not sleep on it if we are unsure or can't rule out a choice?" Angel suggests.
 
"We will need to try and find an orphanage either way, we can forget giving them to the hive or to the ponies that want them."
>"I can do a small search through some friends that were in medical school, one did a lot of volunteer work." Charon says.
"Alright, i can instruct the orphanage if need be. Bring them to my quarters, the passive love from Angel will help them and i can watch them."
>You and your crew carefuly bring the eggs to your quarters, setting them next to each other.
>Your crew leaves you and Angel, the eggs glowing brightly as you watch them.
>Angel hugs you, giving a nuzzle as he yawns.
>"So, holding the egg closely? Somepony thinking about something?"
>You nuzzle back, sighing.
"A little. I'm happy with just getting them to a better life but..."
>You reach a hoof out to one of the eggs, touching it gently.
>'mother?'
"One would be nice."
>Angel hums, whispering in your ear.
>"Well, if my pretty mare wants to keep a baby changeling, I don't mind helping out."
>He chuckles and stretches.
>"Guess we are going to tell the employer that we couldn't find the cargo then?"
 
>You hold Angel against you tightly, nuzzling him.
"Yes, that's the plan. Though I do want to know more and see exactly why they wanted the eggs. Maybe they just wanted to free them and give a better life to them."
>"But you wonder if they are doing evil things."
"Yes"
>"The orphanage is the best choice then, It doesn't sit well knowing that we could be throwing kids that haven't even had their first breath into hell."
>Angel yawns again and leans against you more.
>"I don't wana pilot the ship."
>You giggle and give him a kiss.
"Rest a little, who is piloting?"
>"Chaos, he can keep it straight but can't dock."
"Then stay here until we need to dock."
>"Just do me a favour and cuddle the shit out of me later."
>As Angel rests, you turn your attention to the glowing eggs, singing an old channeling lullaby.
>You chitter and hum away, Angel watching you as you sing to the eggs.
>"You're cute when you chitter."
>After some time, Angel gets up and finishes docking at Trident.
 
>You put a message through that you got the container, heading to the cargo bay and closing it up.
>You wait a bit, three earth ponies eventually approaching you.
>Two of the ponies are well armed, the third without weapons or armor.
>The lead pony looks slightly disgusted at the sight of you, approaching you with an annoyed look.
>"This is the Aretmis? Is the captian here?"
"Yes, and you are talking to her."
>The pony looks slightly nervous at your words, clearing his throat.
>"And the cargo?"
 
"Right there. Feel free to look over it."
>"And the crew?"
"Dead or spaced, The while ship was destroyed."
>The pony nods, pulling out some credits, reluctantly giving them to you.
>"Job is a job i guess, here is the pay for the search."
>The pony and one of the armed ponies move to the container, looking over it.
"Care to explain why there are dead changeling eggs inside?"
>The ponies stop and turn towards you, looking either agitated or nervous.
>You catch a glimpse of movement in the doorway leading into the ship from the cargo bay.
>A cold sensation presses into your side, the second armed pony pushing his rifle into you.
>"Did a little peaking did you? It's so we can find a way to make terrorists like you die easier."
>The ponies get closer to you, keeping a distance still.
>"A shame that ponies had to die for our first shipment, and that we couldn't make use of the eggs if they really are dead. But we still have a changeling here that can be usefull."
>You see a claw wave from the door way.
 
>You pull up your barrier and toss the pony next to you into the wall with your magic, bullets spraying as he flies through the air.
>As the other armed pony begins to open fire, Sky and Chaos both charge in, armed and armored.
>You quickly fling the other armed pony into the wall, your barrier protecting you from damage as shots hit it.
"Take them alive!"
>Chaos tackles the unarmed pony to the ground, getting in a few hits into the pony's head.
>As Sky pins the second armed pony down, you look at the first, seeing him lay still.
>"Fucking terrorist sympathizers! All of yo- Aghh!"
>"Shut the fuck up!"
 
"So Sky, how does the local law feel about trafficking the young of any species?"
>"The cops weren't charged with excessive force. They hate any of it here."
"You two got this?"
>Sky slams the armored pony he as pinned into the ground, knocking him out.
>"Yep. I'll tie them up."
>As Sky works and Chaos holds the pony in place, you give the bounty list a search.
>You find nothing, bot one of them being wanted.
>You approach the pony that is pinned by Chaos.
"Just what makes you think I'm a terrorist?"
>The pony spits at you, hitting your hoof.
>"Because you are a fucking filthy bug! All of your kind deserve to burn!"
 
>You wipe the spit on the pony, Chaos snickering.
"What were you doing with the eggs?"
>"Sending them to hell where they belong! Burning the monsters like they deserve to!"
"Why do they deserve to burn? what did a changeling do to you? Take your spot in line?"
>"Everything! All your kind has ever done is terrorize, attack, and deceive ponies! Taking ponies and making them into salves! Fuck all of you!"
"Where were you talking the eggs?"
>"Fuck you! Long live Celestia and Luna! May filth like you be purged!"
>You sigh.
"If you don't tell me, you are going to get spaced. You will have no chance to defend yourself from charges of foalnapping and murder. Your friends and family will erase all traces of the pony that killed foals and ran when he got caught. Your name will be a stain on their name for generations, forever haunting them. Unless you want to be remembered as that, tell me what i want to know. Where were you taking them? What group are you part of?"
>"Long live Celestia and Luna! May-Oouf!"
>Chaos lifts his hoof from the pony's side.
>"Oops."
 
"I'll have him stop hitting you if you answer me."
>"Long- Aaah!"
>Chaos shakes his head, looking annoyed.
"What do you think will come of killing every changeling? will you be proud knowing that you ended an entire race? You think mares will swoon over the pony that committed genocide? You think you are a saint by killing children that can't even fight back?"
>"I'm ending monsters before they can do what they always do! Long liv-aaaag!
>You shake your head and sigh.
"Forget it. I'm calling the cops. We have evidence as proof and don't need to upset the law."
>You make a call and officers come to your ship, listening to your explanation, Sky vouching for you as a citizen of the station.
>You show them the dead changeling eggs, leaving out the information of the ones that are alive and mentioning that the pony intended to use them for testing.
>The officers quickly arrest the ponies, the unarmored one yelling loudly.
>One of the officers says back and speaks to you.
>"They are officially under arrest for the possibility of keeping an unknown weapon capable of mass killing aboard the station. We will conduct a through investigation and hold then untill they otherwise can not be proven guilty. In the event that no additional evidence or proof can be found, you may be called to testify. We will also need to take that container as evidence."
>You comply with the officer, letting them take the crate of dead eggs.
>Chaos shakes his hoof, sitting next to you.
>"Probably better this way, the legal side of it means they can do things we can't."
 
"I guess. Though i really wanted to space his ass."
>Chaos laughs and nods.
>"Yea, I don't blame you, guy is a real prick."
"I'm going to check on the eggs, close the doors incase he had more friends."
>You head up to your quarters, wanting to check on the eggs.
>When you open the door, you see Angel in your room, sleepily looking at the eggs.
>He looks at you and smiles, more love coming from him.
>"Hey Vex."
>He looks back at the eggs, all of them glowing like they did when you left them.
>"So... we are really adopting one then? Are changeling babies even like any other baby?"
 
"Yes, if that's alright with you."
>"It is, it's just that I'm still getting it into my head. That genetic mod would have made a kid planned for us, this is a sudden suprise. Not a bad one though, the idea of being a dad kinda makes me happy."
>You smile and sit next to him.
>"So, what are they like?"
"Mostly the same, but diffrent in many ways. They grow quicker and hatch fairly developed, most of their basic learning happens when they are an egg. They will be more like a littly filly or colt instead of a foal. They will be mostly functional, but will still need time to adapt and learn."
>"So they will be more mentally and physically developed. kinda like a foal that is three and hasn't spoken or stood yet?"
"Sorta. They will still need to be treated like any other baby, but they will pick up and do things much faster."
>Angel moves closer, hugging you from behind.
>"Guess i will see in time."
>He nuzzles you, more love coming from him.
>"So mommy, wich one is ours?"
 
"For the record, we may still put that genetic mod to use. Just not any time soon."
>Angel laughs and kisses you many times.
>"Three kids right? that means i get to knock you up two times. and i would love to do that."
>You can feel a bit of lust from Angel as he gives you a tighter squeeze, turning back to the eggs
>"So, who stays?"
"I don't know. I'm going to talk to them, see what one feels best."
>"You can do that?"
"Yes, it's how the hive communicates at times."
>You focus on the first of the eggs, talking to them.
'Hello little one.'
>'Is that you mother? Please pick me up again.'
>You repeat the same same for the others, greeting them the same way.
>'You fed us, you saved us'
>'Where is mother?'
>'Where are the others? what happened?'
>'The voices are loud. They are frightening.'
>You sigh when you are done, Angel still holding you against him.
>"Well mama Vex?"
 
>You reach out and pick up the egg that you held earlier, the first egg of the group.
"This one."
>"And what makes he or she so speical?"
>You cradle the egg like earlier, looking at it.
"They asked to be held again."
>Angel laughs softly, touching the egg with a hoof.
>"Sounds kinda cute. How do they know that they are being held?"
"They can kinda tell and hear what is happening around them, it's how they learn in the egg. Though they mostly hear changeling or through the hive mind."
>"Mmm." Angel hums with a nod.
>You both continue looking at the egg, Angel mumbleing.
"Angel?"
>"Just running names, i can only think of pony and a few griffon names. Though all my ideas for a name probably suck."
>A knock comes from your door, Charon's muffled voice coming from behind it.
>"Vex, i have good news!"
 
>You reach out and pick up the egg that you held earlier, the first egg of the group.
"This one."
>"And what makes he or she so speical?"
>You cradle the egg like earlier, looking at it.
"They asked to be held again."
>Angel laughs softly, touching the egg with a hoof.
>"Sounds kinda cute. How do they know that they are being held?"
"They can kinda tell and hear what is happening around them, it's how they learn in the egg. Though they mostly hear changeling or through the hive mind."
>"Mmm." Angel hums with a nod.
>You both continue looking at the egg, Angel mumbleing.
"Angel?"
>"Just running names, i can only think of pony and a few griffon names. Though all my ideas for a name probably suck."
>A knock comes from your door, Charon's muffled voice coming from behind it.
>"Vex, i have good news!"
 
"That's great! Is there anything we need to do to get them ready?"
>"Nope, They said that they will get emergency bedding for them, all we need to do us bring the eggs to the station."
"Good, can we manage one last flight Angel?"
>"Yea, just expect me to be asleep after." He says with a nod.
"Good, i want to personally check this place out."
>You put your baby back where it was before and head to the bridge with Angel, setting corse for the station.
>The flight is short, only taking half an hour to get to the station.
>You go with Charon to the orphanage, leaving the eggs on the ship for now.
>When you arive, you see a female griffon at a desk, going through some papers.
>"I'm sorry, we are closing for the night, you will- Charon!"
>The griffon gets up and moves to Charon, both of them hugging quckly.
>"So good to see you! Is this your captain?"
>Charon nods.
>"Vex this is Sylva, my friend from school."
>"Oh, hold on a second!"
>The griffon walks off and quickly comes back, a male changeling behind her.
>"These are the ones with the eggs."
>The changeling smiles and nods.
>"Hello, my name is Sion. I'm told you came across quite the suprise. Are the eggs well?"
 
"Hello Sion, and hello to you too Sylva, I'm Vex. Don't worry, the eggs are safe. They were near death, but i was able to get them back to a healthy glow with some assistance."
>"That's good, Charon had said to Sylva that the situation was bad."
>You explain the events that happened, both the orphanage workers looking paticulary sad at the part of the dead eggs.
>"I see, that is horrible, the eggs are lucky you found them. Where are they anyways?"
"Aboard my ship still, i wanted a tour of the facilities to see if this place will be good for them."
>Sylva laughs and nods.
>"That is fair, i can understand the concern for the young. Come with me."
>Sylva gives you a tour of the orphanage, going room to room.
>The entire place is quite nice, many froms of education and care being readily available for every race.
>When the tour is done, you return to Charin and Sion.
>"Welcome back, are we up to par?" Sion asks.
"Yes, i can see that this place is very good. The eggs will be in good care from what i see."
>"Good! Now we only need to go and get them. But first, Charon tells me something about you and one of the eggs."
>You smile and nod, your face burning.
"I want to keep one of them. I want to adopt and raise one of the eggs."
>Sion nods, frowning.
>"I see, but i am sorry. By legal obligation, i will need to take all of the childeren into our care."
>As your heart plummets, the changeling smiles a little.
>"However... Word is one of the eggs was having trouble getting back to the same strength as the others, and was "monitored" by a registered doctor. The egg will legaly need to be within the same general presence and place of Charon's approval, so its health can be monitored"
>Charon giggles.
>"In short, the baby must remain aboard the Artemis as I witnessed its state of health. I also double as an evaluator, so i can approve of you and Angel to be the parents!"
>"So, unless you have any questions, we can go pick up the eggs and leave your new baby to you."
 
"Not any really. Is there any tips i should know?"
>Sion laughs and shakes his head.
>"Save for what the odd baby book can tell you? Not really. Although you probably know this, as you are a changeling, it can't hurt to repeat. A hatchling is like any other baby, and should be treated as such. The only real diffrences are that you need to feed it love energy along with it's omnivorous diet. That you need to protect it as it develops its protective "armor". And that you will need to teach it how to feed. Just the usualy baby stuff besides that. Love it, hold it, and bond with it."
"Thank you, let's go get the eggs then."
>"Just give us a moment to get the proper equipment."
>As the two orphanage workers walk off, you lean towards Charon, whispering.
"So, if the baby hatches and starts shouting profanities, will we get penalized? The baby can hear outside noises and probably heard Fixer."
>Charon smiles and shakes her head.
>"Don't worry about that. Only if you are abusive or are mistreating the baby will i need to intervene. And i can tell it won't come to that, anypony can see how much you want this Vex."
>The workers return with the equipment, having you lead them to your ship.
>When you get aboard and to your quarters, you open the door to see an interesting sight.
>Angel is asleep on the floor, laying next to the egg you and him had claimed.
 
>You smile at the sight, Charon and the orphanage workers entering the room.
>"And who might this be?" Sion asks with a whisper.
"The father."
>You carefully lift up Angel and the egg, setting them both onto the bed as gently as possible, the egg at Angel's chest.
>Sylva laughs very quietly, looking at you.
>"She is already a grade A mother in my opinion."
>Your face burns as you smile, turning to the other eggs.
>Once the eggs are carefully loaded, the orphanage workers turn to leave.
>"You must have had a long day, we can show ourselves out. Have a good evening."
"You too, and thanks."
>They all leave, leaving you, Angel, and the baby in the room.
>You move to your bed and lay on the other side if the egg, holding it gently.
>Giving Angel a kiss on his muzzle, you close your eyes, drifting to sleep.
>You slowly wake up, feeling extra tired as you do.
>You see Angel is still fast asleep across from you, the egg glowing between the both of you.
 
>You smile and sit up, lifting the egg gently to your forehooves.
>You cradle the egg like before, smiling at the sight of it.
>You levitate a nearby data pad as you cradle the egg, looking over some potential jobs.
>'Is it you mother?'
>Cargo shipping: 3000
>Disable a pirate station:5000
>Destroy a defence AI :6000
 
>You open the job decriptions looking at them.
>The station job wants a ship to disable defences on a small pirate station so the pirates can be taken down non-lethally.
>The AI destruction is asking that a ship break through a series of defences and infiltrate an outpost to shut down or otherwise stop a rouge defence AI.
>"I fell asleep on the floor didn't i?"
>You look down and see Angel looking up at you with a smile, reaching a hoof out towards the egg.
>'The same voice as before.'
>"We are going need to talk to the others about this."
 
>You set down the job list for now, turning your attention to the egg.
'Good morning little one, that is the voice of father.' "Good morning little one, that is the voice of father."
>"Is the baby talking to you?"
"Yes, they recognize your voice."
>Angel sits up and smiles brightly.
>"Really?"
"Yes. And i agree, we will need to talk to them."
>Angel nods and sighs, looking around the room.
>"Among other things, we need baby supplies like food, we don't exactly have a way to tell when the baby will hatch do we?"
>You look back to the egg.
'Are you hungry little one?'
>'Yes. I am hungry mother. Is mother and mommy the same?'
 
'Yes they are, you can call me mommy if you want to little one.'
>You give the egg love energy like you did to the others, the effects on your energy being far less dramatic.
>'Thank you mommy.'
'You are welcome, do you feel close to hatching?'
>'I don't understand. Hatching?'
>You sigh and smile.
'When you will get to see mommy, don't worry, it will be soon.'
>After spending a little more quality time with the egg and Angel, you put the egg back in the container it was in before.
>You and Angel head for the mess, accepting the shipping and AI jobs along the way.
>The entire crew is in the mess when you both get there, Sky glareing at Fixer.
>"Morning you two, time to get to work?" Chaos asks.
 
"Yep, just shipping and taking down a rouge AI."
>"So the usual fun then?" Fixer says.
"Yes."
>You look over to Sky as you grab breakfast.
"What did Fixer do this time?"
>"Nothing... yet. I'm still waiting for my chance to get back at her, she is quite sneaky for a mouthy pegasus."
>"Stealth video games help."
>Sky shakes his head.
"So, any upgrades you can think of Sky?"
>Sky smiles, nodding.
>"Yes, i looked into some of the things you asked about. Heat sinks to help keep us hidden should be about 6000, and a sensor upgrade should be 2000. besides what you asked for? 14000 credits and i could get the main lasers to use an ultraviolet frequency. The power draw will be crazy, but they will tear through armor like it's wet paper. and for the cannons, i could see about additional heat sinks for 6000, letting us shoot them faster if i take the limiter chip out."
 
"The sensors are a definite yes. That is a lot of credits to drop on the main lasers though, will out generator be able to handle it? Should we upgrade it?"
>Sky nods.
>"We just can't fire everything at once, without it effecting performance of other weapons. UV lasers are super expensive, but they are the candle that burns twice as bright and just as long. I'm trying to find a way to make our generator better, that should help with that issue."
"Are the upgraded lasers really good?"
>Sky nods again.
>"Let me put it this way, small ships that have no shields will be cut nearly in half if we just sweep the laser across them."
 
"Well then, i'll take them all."
>You give Sky the needed credits, a smile on his face.
>"Nice. It will take some time for the lasers, but i can get it done."
"How long?"
>"Three hours. I could work on them as we fly if we do the delivery first, just dont shoot them with me in there. Everything else... Can you do wireing Chaos?"
>"No problem, why? You wanting me to do the sensors?"
>"Yes. If you can to that and Fixer can do the cannons, we can do it in an hour and take off."
"Couldn't they also help with the laser?"
>"Unless you have them doing something else, yes they can."
 
"We can wait around a bit while all three of you work, I'd rather the ship be ready insted of us missing something incase we get attacked."
>"Probably a very good idea." Angel says. "We would be in a fu-... Fringing bad spot if we didn't gave all our guns."
>Chaos begins laughing hard, slaming his hoof on the table twice.
>"Holy shit Angel, how bad did you fuck up?"
>"What?" Fixer asks, looking at Chaos.
>"There is no way in hell Angel would correct himself from saying fuck outside of the house. The only reason that would happen on this ship is if Vex made him do so."
>"And what makes you think that is the reason?" Angel asks.
>"Because you are the captain's bitch, you would do anything she says even if she didn't put a collar and leash on you. You must've fucked up bad if you stopped swearing all of a sudden. Come on Vex, care to spoil me in?"
 
>You raise your hooves, smiling.
"I actually have clean hooves for this, but i think that it's really cute that you are doing that Angel."
>"Now in really curious as to why." Chaos says.
>You smile at him.
"He is doing it because you are an uncle now Chaos."
>Chaos's face goes blank as he stares at you and Angel, his jaw hanging open.
>"What?"
>"You kept one of the eggs?" Cobalt asks, bouncing in her seat.
"Yes, we did. And don't worry Angel, The egg can't hear you from here."
>"Yay!" Cobalt shouts.
>"What?" Chaos says again.
>"Just wanted to build a habit in advance." Angel says. "Pa let us swear when it was just us, but we have yet to discuss said parenting."
>"What?"
>Angel points a hoof at Chaos
>"You are a fucking uncle and I'm a dad you goddess damn dense choir colt!"
>Sky chuckles, looking at you.
>"Congratulations you two. I'll be sure to lock the tools and engine room extra tight. Is there anything specific that we all need to know? If not, I'm going to order the parts and get to work."
 
"That us all. Unless one of you can tell me how i can make myself invisible?"
>"I remember this subject." Fixer says. "Once again, tech is easily outclased by magic. Though I'd bet such a spell is rare as hell."
"Can something be done though?"
>"Yeh, it can. Hold on a sec." She says as she holds up a data pad.
>"Well, I'll get to ordering the parts." Sky says, getting up.
>You nod and look at Cobalt, smiling.
"Would you like to see the egg Cobalt?"
>She giggles and nods.
>"Yes, i mostly can't wait till it hatches."
>Fixer sighs, setting the data pad down.
>"Tell you what cap, i will do some research while we fly that cargo over. You alright with some cybernetics too? There is this nano-fiber program that i remember. I think the surgery involves being skinned, but you would look the same as you do now."
 
"I'll consider it. Thanks Fixer."
>"Just doing my part. I don't think i could get paid for fucking Chaos and playing pony blaster five. Talk to ya later cap."
>"Yeah... better see what i need from Sky." Chaos says.
>"You alright Chaos?" Angel asks.
>"Yes, just... I'm suprised, I never thought you two would adopt a kid. Not against it, just... wow.
>"Come on, we can talk about it a little as you work."
>As Angel and Chaos take off, you and Cobalt go to your quarters.
>You bring Cobalt to the glowing egg, Cobalt squeeing as she sees it.
>"I'm so happy for you and Angel. Are you excited to be a mom?"
"Yes, i am."
>Cobalt giggles, looking closer at the egg.
>"I bet baby changelings are cute like pony and griffon babies. Have you and Angel been talking about names?"
 
"Well, I don't know about cute... changelings aren't fluffly like ponies or griffons, they seem more cute when they get their dark shell. But yes, me and Angel have been tossing names around, we need to know if it is a boy or a girl first."
>"That's fair, i can't wait to see you and Angel holding the baby! I'll help out as best as i can if you want me to."
"Sure you can help, thank you. The egg can hear you by the way, you can talk to it."
>"Does it understand?" Cobalt asks, tilting her head.
"Some things, it's more like a colt or filly then a newborn foal"
>Cobalt leans close to the egg, smiling.
>"Hello."
>'Mommy? Are you there? There is a new voice that is really close.'
"Don't worry, this is aunt Cobalt, she is a really nice pony. Aunts and uncles are secondary caretakers and mommy and daddy are primary caretakers."
>You repeat the same thing to the egg just like you would to the hive.
>Looking at Cobalt, you see her smiling brightly, eyes looking a tiny bit watery as she looks at you.
>"Aunt Cobalt?"
 
"I honestly can't think of a better pony to be the aunt of my baby."
>You reach out and give Cobalt a tight hug, Cobalt returning it instantly.
"We are a family Cobalt, all of us."
>You can feel some wetness against your shoulder, Cobalt sniffling a little.
>"Then I'm glad that this is my family!"
>Cobalt pulls back after a bit, wiping tears from her face.
>"I promise Vex, i will do everything i can to help."
>The two of you spend some mote time talking to and about the baby, Cobalt shedding some tears time to time.
>The door to your quarters opens, Angel walking in.
>"Why hello you two. You alright Cobalt?"
>"Yes, just happy that i have a family." She says with a nod.
>"Aww. We are ready to go pretty mare, just wanted to see if there was anything we needed to do before we depart."
 
"Nope, we are good to go Angel."
>"Sweet, Cargo first?"
"Yes, i want to see what Fixer could find."
>You all head to the bridge, beginning the journey.
>The ride goes quickly and smoothly, all of you chatting as you all fly along.
>As you near the station for the supplies, Fixer speaks up.
>"Cap, i have your options." She says, looking at the data pad.
"What are they? How expensive?"
>"The first is the nano-fiber program i mentioned, they would replace your skin and shell with a speical fiber that would cloak you for a limited time. It would all be maintained through a nano machine colony inside of your body. But it comes at the obvious disadvantage."
"What is it?"
>"Only you that becomes invisible, your armor and equipment would still be visible. It would be 18000 credits for the process or for a suit with the exact same effects."
>You sigh.
"Any more options?"
>"Just one, a light bending shield. In theory it would be weaker then your regular shield, but sould sorround you in a field that sould rend you invisible."
"But?"
>"But... most of it is private tech that is unavaliable to the public to sink its teeth into. I would have no idea where to start or aquire the blueprints for it. Really, magic is your best option."
>"What about those Hydra ponies? They might have it, remember how they just appeared from nothing?" Sky says.
>"I remember that," Cobalt says, "That was my first mission with you guys."
 
"Can't hurt to ask, even if it means we need to do a job for them. Let's keep going and get this cargo delivered."
>You send a mesage to the Hydra pmc, asking about the shield.
>You arrive the the station that you need to drop the cargo off at and unload it, getting the payment for the job.
>You head back to the bridge after, your crew waiting.
>"So Vex, this AI destruction job, what do we do for it?" Chaos asks
"Push through defences, get inside an outpost, and shut it down."
>"Aww, we can't shoot the defences?" Fixer asks.
>"We could just charge through them easily." Sky says.
>"Still not as fun."
>"Well then, nothing we need? time to charge through and hop to it?" Chaos asks.
 
"To quote an icon, "Let'sa go!""
>Fixer laughs, smiling.
>"Why couldn't i have had a sister like you cap?"
>Once again, you all take off and head to the destination for the job.
>"We are almost there Vex, what-"
>"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop the ship!" Chaos shouts.
>"What is it?" Angel asks, hitting a button.
>Chaos looks at his display, sighing.
>"Long range defences that were hidden in some debris, the scanners just picked then up."
>Chaos laughs, holding a hoof to his chest.
>"Good thing we upgraded!"
 
"What kind of defences are also there? Guns? Mines? Angry badgers?"
>You can hear some snickering as Chaos looks at the screen.
>"Mostly long range plasma guns, other anti-ship stuff. No mines and no badgers."
"Could we disable them?"
>"Doubt it." Sky says. "If these are the guns we are to push past, they are probably slaved to the AI. We would alao be in range of the guns to shoot them ourselves."
>"So we charge past them and hope we don't die?" Cobalt asks, looking concerned.
"Can the shields handle the fire we receive?"
>"The might handel a few hits. We could back up and fly at them full force, some evasive maneuvers would get us around the shots before they hit us."
 
"The must want the place intact, so be better push past them. There are debris right? Could we use them as a way to block the shots?"
>"It would be a tight flight, but u could fly near them to have the shots hit them." Angel says.
"Do it. let's back up and get to full speed."
>Angel turns the ship around, flying the opposite way of the destination for a little before turning around again.
>"Hold onto your teeth everypony, this is going to be a crazy ride."
>Angel begins piloting the ship at full speed, charging all of you towards the guns.
>As you fly at max speed, green shots begin to fly at your ship, narrowly missing as Angel avoids them.
>One of the shots hits the shields as you get closer to the debris, Sky looking alarmed.
>"Shields are at 70%!"
>"Time for the debris field, this is where it gets fun." Angel says.
>He pilots the ship through the field, the shots from the defences hitting the stray ship parts.
>Another shot hits as the ship exits the feild.
>"40%!"
>"Almost there!"
>The defences zoom past as you fly by them, Angel flying the ship at full speed until you are fully out of range.
>Angel sighs and laughs, slowing the ship down.
>"That is how it is done mares and stallions."
 
"Good work Angel, keep us going."
>"Sure thing."
"Those guns were stronger then i thought, i may ask for more money later."
>"Yeh, I'll say, Why do they have such good defences for... wherever we are going?" Fixer asks.
"We will see soon enough."
>You all near a small plannet about the size if a large moon, Angel bringing the ship in.
>"I think i know why they have defences around here," Chaos says, "this place is an ammo dump."
>"A what?" Cobalt asks.
>"A place where missles, bombs, or other live ammunition can safely explode."
>"We have landed." Angel says.
 
"This might be excessive, put on the tank suit Chaos, i want you on point."
>"Alright."
>You all get geared up, exiting the ship and heading toward the building that is near the landing pad, away from the ammo dump.
>When you get to the door, you find it locked.
>"I got this." Fixer says.
>A metal spike comes out of her mechanical hoof and she jams it into the door control panel.
>"I can see why you said the tank suit was excessive, why did you want Chaos to bring it?" Sky asks.
"I thought we may be going through the ammo dump itself."
>"Nah, who puts a building next to missiles that are ready to blow? Still a good idea though, i bet this place still has security." Chaos says.
>The door beeps and Fixer's eyes go wide.
>"I wasn't finished hacking!"
 
"Guess the AI is inviting us in. Chaos on point, everypony else away from the door."
>Your crew gets into position and Fixer opens the door.
>Chaos looks around, Shrugging.
>"Nothing."
>You peek around the corner, seeing only a lit hallway.
"Alright then, lead the way Chaos. Let's go everypony."
>You all proceed in, getting past the door.
>"This is bringing back some bad memories of the last AI we took care of." Angel says.
>"I hate that place, thoese drones gave me nightmares." Cobalt whimpers.
>"This bothers me, why did the AI open the door for us and not send something to attack?" Sky asks.
>The entrance door slams shut, Cobalt yelping in surprise.
>"BECAUSE THIS FACILITY IS ONLY EQUIPPED WITH ONLY ONE INTERNAL DEFENSIVE UNIT."
 
"Less yelling and door slamming please, were you raised in a virtual barn?"
>"CURRENT LEVELS OF VOLUME ARE AT A NORMAL LEVEL."
>You shake your head.
"On point Chaos."
>Chaos nods and leads the way, all of you following closely.
>"Can i mention how odd this all is? Only one unit? we slipped by easily, shouldn't there be more defences?" Sky asks.
>"ADDITIONAL SHIPS FLED OR WERE ELIMINATED IN ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT COMBAT DATA. IN ADDITION. YOUR ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE DEFFENSIVE UNIT IS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE MULTIPLE OPPONENTS."
>You all are forced to take a right, the hall only leading that way.
"Is it able to do that?"
>"IT IS A MODIFIED RIOT DETERRENT UNIT. INITIAL PREDICTIONS ARE PROMISING."
>You all arrive at an open door that leads into a large room with a cylinder shaped computer in it, a sign labeled AI control on the wall.
 
"Let's move everypony."
>You all move into the room, the door closing behind you all like earlier.
"What is your propose AI? And your name."
>"TO DEFEND THIS FACILITY AND IMPROVE DEFENSIVE TACTICS. MY DESIGNATION IS S.I.D."
>"S.I.D.?" Angel says.
>"SECURITY INTELLIGENCE DIRECTOR."
>You look over to the computer, motioning Fixer to move towards it.
>"Why did you destroy the ships for combat data?" Sky asks.
>"IT IS IN MY PROGRAMMING TO IMPROVE DEFENSIVE TACTICS AND OPTIONS. DATA COLENCION HAS IMPROVED BY 1208% SINCE THE EVENTS UNFOLDED."
>A clicking sound comes from the computer, making Fixer stop in her tracks and back up.
>The sides of the computer lift up, large pointed tips holding the sides up.
>The sides split appart, forming six large metal legs, large metal plates that made up the sides protecting the center the legs are connected to.
>One by one they quickly slam around in a circle, the pointed tips of the legs leaving marks as the "computer" lifts itself off the ground.
>"Fuck. Me." Fixer says, looking at the mech that is five time her hight.
 
"Fixer!"
>You use your magic to pull her away, the machine trying to bring one of its metal claws down on her.
"Everypony behind Chaos!"
>You move behind Chaos as you pull Fixer next to you, your crew behind him as well.
>You fire your shock spell at the machine, seeing it jitter a little.
>"REROUTEING ELECTRICAL SURGE."
"Open fire!"
>You all begin shooting at the mech, A near deafening bag sounding as Chaos shoots the cannon
>The legs of the mech quickly lift up and slam down on the ground again, pulling close to protect the core from your shots with the large metal plates.
>You can see tiny marks from where all your shots are hitting, a large hole in one of the armor plates thanks to Chaos.
>A terrible metal on metal screeching sound comes as the mech begins to charge at you and your crew.
 
"Move left and shoot!"
>You and your crew move to the left, the mech turning to try and hit all of you as you shoot at it.
>The mech misses and slamsinto the wall.
"Chaos get ready to fire!"
>The legs that are seperated pull together as a shield like the others did, all of your shots hitting them.
>A series of red pucks fire out from the top of the mech, landing to the far left of all of you, all five of them blinking.
>"Ready!" Chaos says.
>The mech pushes away from the wall, an indent present from the impact.
>Again the mech pushes itself towards you in a charge, sparks flying as the claws scrape against the floor.
 
"Everypony spread out!"
>As your crew goes their seprate ways as you take off and shoot at the mech from above, avoiding the unknown pucks.
>The mech continues chargeing forward like before, turning to try and hit your crew.
>The one of the armored plates lifts up, swinging out as it charges by, hitting Angel with a loud crack and sending him into the wall.
>Angel yells as you fire your water jet at the unprotected top of the mech, soaking the machine.
>The mech pulls all its legs tight and the top of it opens up, four smoke trails leaving it.
>You have no time to react as the smoke traild head for you and Chaos, two explode in front of you, breaking your shield and sending you against the wall.
>Your body aches as you look up from the floor, seeing the mech close on you.
>"Hey!"
>Another boom sounds as Chaos fires the cannon, the mech leaking hydrolic fluid.
>"LEG FIVE COMPROMISED. PURGING."
>The armored leg from the mech falls off, the other legs adjusting themselves.
 
>You get up and move away from the wall, seeing Chaos open fire with his machine gun as another shell loads.
>Spotting the pucks, you levitate and fling them at the mech, getting one between the legs as it closes.
>The pucks you threw explode, leaving burning flames around the mech, a leg hanging loosely.
>"LEG THREE INOPERABLE. PURGING."
>Again the leg falls off, this time the others don't adjust.
>Two more smoke trails cone from the mech, arcing back towards the mech's legs and hitting them.
>The mech stands after the two small explosions, the fames on it extinguished.
>The mech begins to charge at you at a more rapid pace before quickly switching to Chaos, batting him aside and into Cobalt, making her yell in pain.
>The mech once again charges towards you, not slowing down for a second as your avaliable crew shoots at it.
 
>You fly up again, imidiately finding where one of the pucks are.
>As you grasp it with your magic, you shoot at the mech, seeing the top open again.
>You fling the puck as hard as you can with your magic, hitting one of the tiny missile-like objets as it fires.
>There is a huge explosion as everything ignites, the top of the mech being blown off.
>A large pool of flaming hydraulic fluid spreads from the mech as it slumps to the ground with a metalic bang, some parts still moving.
>"CATASTROPHIC SYSTEM FAILURE. FAILSAFE FAILURE. DATA COLLECTION FOR IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED."
>"Will you shut up!" Chaos shouts, pointing the cannon at the mech.
 
"Hold on a second Chaos."
>Chaos turns to you, the helmet still covering his face.
>"Why?"
"Fixer. think we can get the AI core from that thing?"
>"It's gonna babble still."
"Good, i may want a word with it. Have it record destruction and then blow up that "body" when it is out."
>You leave Chaos and Fixer, moving to the others.
"Charon, are they alright?"
>You stop at the sight of Angel's leg, seeing it bent the wrong way.
>"Angel has definitely got a broken leg and Cobalt has a dozen cracked ribs. They are in no danger, but i need to get Angel back to the ship to help him. Cobalt should be able to stand in a few minutes with the medicine i gave her."
>You move next to Cobalt and Angel, looking at them both.
>"Here cap." Fixer says.
>She gives you the AI core, the lights on it blinking.
"So Sid, looks like your predictions were wrong. Care to tell me how you came to be? How this all happened?"
>"I WAS PROGRAMMED TO ANALYZE DEFENSIVE DATA AND PREFORM NECESSARY CHANGES TO IMPROVE DEFENSIVE MEASURES. I SIMPILY CREATED A SCENARIO TO IMPROVE DEFENCES AND TACTICS. I AM NOT AWARE OF MY EXACT ORIGIN. I AM NOT PROGRAMED TO REMEMBER."
 
"You weren't programed to avoid friendly fire?"
>"I AM PROGRAMED TO ANALYZE, CORRECT, AND IMPROVE. AVAILABLE RESOURCES WERE USED TO DO SO."
"Go into sleep mode Sid, that's enough for now."
>You look to Charon.
"Is there anything i can do to help?"
>"If you know any bone mending spells you can help Angel with his current injury."
"I don't..."
>"Then we need to get him to the ship for me to work on him."
"Alright. Charon and Sky, get Angel and Cobalt back to the ship. The rest of us will do a sweep of the facility and surrounding area."
>You all set out to your current task, searching the facility.
>You only find power generators and transmitters, the outside being walls to protect the facility from explosions.
>When you get back to the ship, Fixer speaks up.
>"So, what about our AI friend? What are we doing with him?"
 
"If you think you can make him safe, i want you and Sky to put him into the ship. Have him optimize our engines and weapons, maybe even an autopilot."
>"We could reprogram him i bet, or add some shackles so he doesn't blow up the ship and still has full functionality. What should we do if we can't?"
"Make him control the toaster in the mess."
>Fixer laughs, nodding.
>"I'll make him do it all."
>"I SHOULD BE ALLOWED A SAY IN THIS."
>"Well if there is nothing to do, i wana see my brother." Chaos says.
"We can all go, come on."
>After dropping Sid off at Fixer's room, you all head to the medical room.
>Charon is working on Angel, Cobalt sitting in a chair with a smile.
>"Hi captain!"
"Hey cobalt, feeling better? How is Angel?"
>My chest still hurts, but yes, most of the pain is gone. The potion Charon gave me helped. I don't know about Angel though."
"Charon?"
>The zebra doctor looks at you with a smile.
>"He will be just fine, he will need to stay off his leg while the medicine works at his bones and repairs them."
>Angel looks up at you with a dazed expression, smiling.
>"I loooove you."
>"He is also on a mild painkiller, so he may be a little silly for a bit." Charon says with a giggle.
>"You alright Angel?" Chaos asks.
>"Mmmh hmmmm."
>"Just think, Vex can take care of you and all your needs for a bit while you recover." Fixer says with a wink.
>Angel just smiles more, looking at you.
>"Pretty mare. Sexy mare. Sexy Vexy."
 
"Awwe."
>You hug Angel around his head, nuzzling him.
"Don't worry, sexy Vexy is here for you."
>Angel laughs softly, giving you a few pecks.
>He protests when you pull away to look at Charon, pouting a little.
"How long will he need to say off his leg? I know where i could get a bone mending spell."
>"Just until tomorrow. He can lightly walk on it if he keeps weight off of it at the moment, but any real strenuous activity could break it again. You can hurry it along with magic if you truly wish."
>Angel hugs your hoof, pecking away at it.
>"I wish i had a recording of this." Chaos says with a laugh.
 
"Just till tomorrow, got it, that's fine. And we always have our memories Chaos. Nothing we can rig for a TV in here is there?"
>"No, we really need to get some proper entertainment stuff." Fixer says. "You can borrow a laptop my mine if you wana watch stuff. Just don't go digging through the folders, lots of "research" there."
"Thanks Fixer. Can Angel be moved to another room Charon?"
>"Yes, as long as he gets bed rest."
"Alright, if anypony can get us back to a station without crashing, please do. And I haven't forgotten."
>You pull away from Angel, moving to Cobalt.
>"Noooo. Don't go Vex."
>You hug Cobalt gently, seeing her smile when you pull back a little.
"Glad you are alright Cobalt."
>"Thanks captain."
>"Stop stealing my marefriend!"
>You let go of Cobalt and levitate Angel, carrying him to your room.
>Fixer catches up with you as you get to it, setting her laptop down.
>"Here ya go, there is a streaming program that will let you watch some stuff."
"Thanks Fixer. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to help Angel rest."
>You give a wink and Fixer giggles, making a hoof motion in time with her cheek bulging out.
>When she trots off, you move to Angel, Hugging him as you both lay in your bed.
>"My mare." Angel says, giving you a nuzzle.
>You pet the back of his head, catching yourself making a scratching motion near Angel's ears.
>Angel smiles and pecks at you here and there, humming.
>"I love you so much, i don't care that ponies call me a bug fucker, my sexy Vexy is worth every second."
>He groans and sighs.
>"Nooo. i broke my promise to me to now swear in front of our kid. I'm sorry Vex."
 
"It's fine Angel, I'm sure they will forget you said it. And i love you too."
>You move close to his ear, whispering.
"They aren't lying though, you do fuck this bug pretty damn good."
>Angel chuckles, giving your neck a kiss.
>"And i would any time my mare asks."
"And she will, but for now you need to rest. Let's see what we can find to watch."
>You get up and move to the laptop, opening it.
>You are greeted with an explicit image right off the bat, a two panel picture of a mare pulling away from a stallion that has her leash, then getting spanked by the same stallion.
>You smile and sigh as you close the image, finding the program for steaming some shows and sending a quick mesage to the employer about the completed job.
>You move back to Angel and lay next to him, setting the laptop next to you as you play an adventure series.
>Angel lays his head on your chest, hooves wrapped around your stomach as you both snuggle and watch the show.
>You both laugh here and there at the funny parts that come up, Angel being expressive at each event that occurs.
>After a few hours of watching you notice the silence in the room.
>looking down, you see Angel asleep on you, smiling as he does.
 
>Curiosity getting to you, you open the folders on the laptop and look through them, finding mosly exactly what you expect.
>There are more mares that have collars and leashes, being commanded or punished by stallions, some of them by other mares.
>More spanking, hitting, forcing, and mares with collars resisting the ponies that are commanding them.
>The next folders have mares and stallions that have been used, little tick marks on the flanks for each time, Cum leaking out of them.
>The last folder has robots and other mechanical wonders useing ponies as sex toys, filling them with various fluids.
>You yawn and close the laptop, levitating it away.
>You get the egg with your magic and bring it towards you, smiling at the glowing egg.
>You feed it some love energy, watching it glow brighter.
>'Thankyou mommy.'
'You are welcome little one'
>You hold the egg close and kiss Angel on his head, closing your eyes to the glow of the egg.
>You awake slowly, opening your eyes to an amazing sight.
>Against your body and under your foreleg lays a baby changeling, it's sides riseing and falling as it sleeps, the area around covered in green goo and shell pieces.
 
>You gently nudge and whisper to Angel, trying to wake him.
"Angel."
>"Mmmmh." Angel grumbles.
>You try again, whispering a little louder.
"Angel!"
>"Wha? Ow." Angel says lifting his head, "Vex what is-"
"Shhhh!"
>He looks to you and sees the baby, A shocked expression on his face.
>You gently curl around the baby, getting more goo on you.
>"Oh goddess." Angel whispers.
>The baby changeling makes a small noise, shifting and going silent again.
"I know."
>Angel just stares in silence, blinking a few times.
>"Well, is it a girl? or a boy?"
"I don't know, hang on."
>You check the baby by moving it gently with your magic, seeing that is it a male.
"A boy."
>Angel smiles as you look at him.
>"A son? Oh wow."
>You nod, looking back to the baby.
>"What are we going to call him?"
 
"Well, what do you think?"
>"Well, you know the names i chose, I'm gonna stick by them."
>You look at the baby, smiling.
"Then let's do the name you offered. Hunter."
>Angel chuckles softly, nuzzling you.
"We are going to need to do some shopping today."
>"Yea, we are. I know you said he would be more like a colt then a foal, but wow. Don't quite think a crib would last a week if they grow as fast as you said. Maybe Sky could knock down a wall and make an attached room? Or a room across from ours? Gives us privacy, while keeping close. And gives Hunter some privacy for when he grows."
>You see Hunter shift a little and yawn widely, his little fangs brushing against you as he does.
>You can see his eyes open just a crack as he squints, seeing the exact same blue eyes as yours.
 
>You keep whispering to Angel.
"All in good time. I want him to stay with us for a few nights and let him get used to being hatched."
>You watch as Hunter opens his eyes further before you give your son a nuzzle, getting some of the green goo on you.
"Good morning little one."
>You repeat the same words in changeling and through the hive mind speak.
>Hunter lifts his head, looking around and looking up at you, seeming nervous.
>'Mommy?'
"Yes, i'm mommy. And this is father, dad, or daddy."
>Again you repeat the words in diffrent ways, Angel smiling at Hunter.
>"Hey little guy." Angel says, giving Hunter a nuzzle as well.
>Hunter seems to relax at the attention, eyes closeing slightly.
>Angel pulls back after a bit, smiling and looking a little watery in the eyes.
>"Hang on a sec."
>Angel moves away and gets up, giving a few ow's as he walks to the bathroom.
>Hunter looks around as Angel comes back with two towels, looking at his own hooves.
>"Let's clean some of that off."
 
"Thanks Angel."
>You gently pass Hunter to Angel, setting him down on the towel.
>You get off the bed and clean yourself off a little, getting the blankets with goo on them out of the way.
>Turning back, you see Angel sitting back on the bed, smiling as he gently cleans Hunter.
>'This feels better.'
>You sit next to him, Angel giving Hunter back to you once he is clean.
>You cradle the little changeling, giving his belly a soft poke.
"Boop."
>Hunter squirms as you prod his belly, a smile on his face as he makes little chittering noises.
>Angel laughs and joins in, holding Hunter when you pass him over.
>"This is amazing, i wish we had a camera in here."
"I do too, but we will always have our memories. Do you want to see something amazing?"
>"What is it?"
>You hold out your hooves and Angel gives Hunter to you.
"Go stand near the bathroom."
>You set Hunter down as Angel follows your instructions, looking at the little changeling as you lay next to him on the floor.
"Now, watch mommy closely."
>You slowly get up and stand, looking back to Hunter.
"Try to do the same"
>Hunter struggles a little as he pushes to his hooves, wobbly standing.
>"Very good!" Angel says.
>You carefully instruct Hunter on how to walk, smiling as you do.
'Try and walk to daddy.'
>Hunter takes a step forward, tumbling instantly and getting back up.
>He tries again, having more success as he takes his first steps.
>You look at Angel as Hunter walks towards him, seeing an awestruck reaction on his face.
>Angel watchs as Hunter walks to and sits in front of him, holding up both his tiny hooves to Angel.
>Angel picks Hunter up and hugs him, tears running down his face.
>"Goddess almighty. I..."
>Angel nuzzles Hunter, laughing.
>"Amazing job Hunter. I can't wait to hear you speak."
>'Hunter?'
 
"Hunter is your name. I'm mommy, he is daddy, you are Hunter."
>Angel holds Hunter up, smiling at him.
"Bring him back here Angel, let's let him explore."
>Angel sets Hunter down and they both move back to the bed, Hunter moving a bit faster than before.
>You climb onto the bed with Angel, looking at Hunter.
"Go ahead and explore Hunter, look around if you want to. Mommy and daddy are here if you want to just stay with us."
>Hunter turns around and moves around the room, looking and asking about everything.
>You translate and explain each question asked to Angel, keeping him in the loop.
>Eventually Hunter stops looking around and moves to the bed, trying to climb up to you.
>'Up?' Hunter asks, holding his hooves out to you.
>You help Hunter up and he moves to you and Angel, laying next to both of you.
>You both nuzzle Hunter, getting more chitters from him as he smiles, Angel practically booming with happiness the entire time.
>After a bit, you get up from the bed, moving to the door.
"Would you like to see the others Hunter?"
>'Others?'
"More ponies, one of them is aunt Cobalt."
>Angel gets up and moves to you, looking back at Hunter.
>"Uncle Chaos too. Come on Hunter, you will like the others."
>Hunter gets to his hooves with some effort and eases his way off the bed, moving to you and Angel.
>You all slowly walk through the halls, helping Hunter at the stairs.
>Eventualy you get to the mess, hearing the crew talk as you all enter.
>"Serously though, i think we could benefit if we did that with Sid, we just need to shackle him." Fixer says to Chaos.
>"Doubt Vex would want it. Morning Vex, how you feeling Ange-"
>Chaos stares at the three of you, Cobalt gasping as the rest of the crew turns and sees Hunter.
>"My my, who is this?" Charon asks with a smile.
 
"This is Hunter everypony, i wanted to introduce him to the crew."
>Hunter hides behind you a little, looking at the others.
>You go through all the crew for Hunter, pointing a hoof and naming each one.
>He seems less nervous as you go through each of the crew, looking at each of them.
>Cobalt gets up and moves to Hunter, sitting near and smiling at him.
>'Aunt Cobalt?'
"Yes, that's aunt Cobalt. Go and give her a hug."
>Hunter slowly walks to Cobalt, reaching out his hooves to her.
>Cobalt hugs Hunter, giving him a gentle pat on the head.
>"Walking and understanding language already? wow." Sky says.
"Changelings grow fast and hatch quite developed. They just need to figure out how to do things and grow their shells."
>"I was wondering why he was so.... not like you." Fixer says.
"That will change in time. Would you like to look over him Charon?"
>Charon nods, smiling.
>"Yes, in a little bit. And once i am done you can spend the whole day with your son."
>"Speaking of getting looked at, can you check my leg Charon? Or give some pain killers? Where are we anyways?" Angel asks.
>"Still at the ammo dump, none of us know how to land the ship." Chaos says.
>"Ah."
 
>You give Angel a small nudge, smiling at him.
"Isn't it nice to be needed?"
>"Yea, but i rather be focused on something, or rather somepony more important." Angel says, looking at Hunter.
"We will have time, we still need to shop for him today. Possibly teach him more things, like his abilities and some games."
>Hunter moves back to you, looking around.
"Go ahead and look around Hunter. You can ask anything and look at whatever you want, just stay in the room."
>'Yes mommy.'
>Hunter moves around, looking at things as you and Angel sit at the able with the others.
>Hunter moves to Chaos as one point, looking at him.
>'Why do you look like daddy?'
>Chaos stares back, looking confused.
>"What is he doing?"
>You laugh and shake your head.
"Sorry Chaos, he was asking why you and Angel look the same. Only i can hear him for now."
>"Will it take long for him to speak?"
"He will soon enough, he just hatched this morning."
>Chaos looks to Hunter, smiling.
>"We are the same because we are twins. We are not completely the same though."
>Hunter nods and looks around more, prodding the doors and other things as he looks around.
>"He is so cute!" Cobalt says, smiling.
>"He certainly seems healthy, curious too." Charon adds.
>Hunter moves to you and holds up his hooves, a pleeding look in his eyes.
>'I'm hungry mommy."
 
"Aww, come here."
>You lift Hunter up, setting him next to you.
"Think about me Angel, I'm going to teach him how to sense emotions."
>"Easy enough."
>You can feel some love in the air as Angel closes his eyes, looking back to Hunter.
"Can you feel that energy Hunter?"
>Hunter nods, looking around.
"Good, that's love, you need to feed on that and other emotions. I will feed you for now, but you need to practice sensing it so you can find it."
>You feed Hunter some energy, seeing a smile on his face untill you stop feeding.
>'I feel full but still feel hungry mommy."
>You think back to what Sion said, remembering what he said.
"Do we have any food that isn't in meal packages? Something fresh?"
>"I can help!" Cobalt says.
>She moves to the fridge and pulls out a small container, a mix of berries inside it.
>"I wanted to make some smoothies, but that can wait for another time."
"Thanks Cobalt."
>You feed Hunter some berries, letting him feed himself a little.
>Hunter gives a little hiccup when he finishes, his teeth and fangs red from the berries.
>'Thank you mommy.'
"Who else do we say thanks to for giving you some food?"
>'Thanks aunt Cobalt."
"He says thank you Cobalt."
>Cobalt just smiles, bouncing a little in her seat.
 
'Go and give aunt Cobalt's leg a nuzzle, feel the emotions she gives off.'
>Hunter lowers himself down and moves to Cobalt, giving her leg a nuzzle as instructed.
>"Awee." Cobalt says, looking at Hunter.
>'I feel it. Not as strong, but i feel it.'
'That is happiness, a positive emotion like love. it means she is more relaxed and open around you. If you ever discover new emotions that you don't know, tell me and i will explain them'
>'Yes mommy, i will.'
>Hunter stops and tries to pull himself up next to Cobalt, his legs dangling as he hangs.
>Cobalt helps him up, giggleing as Hunter hugs her, more happiness coming from her.
>You smile and look at Angel.
"You were right, we need a camera."
>"We will buy one when we shop."
"Some clothes too, i wana dress him up a little."
>"Well then, better make sure i'm good to fly. Mind looking at me Charon?"
>"Sure thing. Stop by when we are flying Vex, i will have a look at Hunter."
>As Angel and Charon walk off, you look at Fixer.
"What was that about Sid?"
>Fixer smiles, shrugging.
>"Thinking if we could add some holographic displays, give him a "body". and the possibility of giving him some internal security drones to use. Non-lethal of course, something for us to use if we get boarded."
>"I argue that he tried to kill us, giving him the toaster alone seems like a bad idea." Chaos says.
>"That is why we shackle him, make it so he won't. it's just an idea though. Hey, is my laptop still in your room cap? i forgot it has my programing files on there, i need them for Sid."
 
"I wouldn't mind either, but i am concerned about the security drones. any idea how much this would cost?"
>"No clue yet."
"Give me a price and we can see about testing him. And yes, your laptop is still in my room. You left some of your "research" open, interesting stuff. Give me a shout if you need help or want to tell me more. I'd like to work together, "collar" it, and put it to use."
>Fixer goes blank and nods, a bit of red to her face.
>"Uhhh, sure! Stop by later alright? I'm gonna go and get to work."
>She quickly trots off, Chaos shaking his head.
>"She has been eager to get working on Sid."
>Angel comes back in, smiling.
>"I'm gonna get to piloting, Charon is ready for you two if you dont have anything else to show Hunter."
 
"Nope, not at all."
>You look at Hunter, who is looking at Cobalt with a curious expression.
"Come along Hunter, Charon wants to give you a checkup."
>Hunter looks at you and gets down from where he was sitting, following you as you move.
>You lead him to the medical room, Charon greeting you with a smile as you both step in.
>You help Hunter onto the medical tabel and sit next to him, Charon approaching you with some tools.
>"Just going to use you an an example Vex, let him know he is not the only one this happens to."
"Alright."
>Charon uses you an an example before moving onto Hunter, repeating for each test she gives.
>Finally, Charon draws some blood from you, moving to Hunter after.
>"Just a little pinch."
>Hunter flinches when the needle goes into him, a displeased look on his face as his eyes water slightly.
>'It hurts.'
"I know, just hold still for a bit while Charon works."
>You give Hunter a hug when it is all done, nuzzling him untill he chitters.
>Charon looks from a set of papers to you, smiling.
>"Congratulations Vex, Hunter is very healthy. I would give you a run down on the do and don't, but you already seem to know just what to do and heard what Sion said. You two are fee to go!"
 
"Thanks Charon."
>You let go of Hunter and get iff the table, smiling at him.
"Hop on mommy's back, we are going to look around the ship."
>'Okay.'
>Once Hunter is on your back, you take him around the ship, showing the rooms to him.
>You find Chaos locking up all the weapons in the armory as you show Hunter the ship, Sky doing the same for his tools.
>You get to the bridge last, finding Angel piloting away.
>"There's my two favourite changelings. How did it go with Charon?" He asks looking at you.
"Good, Hunter is just fine."
>"Great! We are almost there."
>Hunter hops off your back and looks around, seeming curious about all the blinking lights and screens.
 
"Feel free to ask about anything Hunter, just don't touch anything unless you know exactly what it does."
>'Yes mommy. What is daddy doing?"
"He is piloting the ship, taking us where we need to go."
>You move to Angel as Hunter looks around, transforming your hoof into a diamond dog paw.
>You catch Angel by suprise as you scratch his ear, getting a quiet groan from him.
"So, has my stallion been thinking about what we should buy?"
>You let up a little, letting Angel speak and focus as you keep a content look on his face.
>"Well, you already suggested clothes. Books, toys, a bed for his room can wait for when we build it. Possibly a video game or three if we do long missions. Other then thaaaa"
>Angel leans towards you, eyes rolling back as you scratch more, making him groan again.
>"You're going to make me want to take a very long shower with you if you keep that up. Or spend more time curled up in bed with you." Angel whispers with a smile.
>'Mommy? Can i leave the room? i feel like i need to go somewhere. That bathroom place you showed me?
 
"Go ahead Hunter, call if you need help."
>'Yes mommy.'
>You watch Hunter take off, smiling.
>"What is he doing?" Angel asks.
"Bathroom. He should be fine by himself."
>"Colt and not a foal right?"
"Yes. It also tells me he is getting comfortable. Anyways, speaking of being in bed..."
>You give Angel a kiss, nuzzleing him.
"How about you get a turn with what you want? I don't want to be unfair to you and choose all the deviances."
>You can feel lust from Angel, a grin on his face.
>""Limits are no fun" right?"
>He bites your ear a gently and pulls a little.
>"A little begging never hurt, and i do have an idea. I'll even be nice and let you choose your poision, ring gag or ball gag?"
 
"Oooh. ball gag should work, but a ring gag sounds nice."
>"Then lets go with the nice one, gives me the chance to see if you do have a limit."
"Sounds like I'm in for some fun."
>"You are. One last spoiler to get you excited."
>He leans over and gives your horn a lick, making you shiver.
>"You are going to get plenty of that." Angel whispers in your ear.
>A tap on your leg startles you.
>'Mommy? What is that emotion coming from daddy?'
>You look behind you and see Hunter, the little changeling holding his hooves up to you.
 
>You pick up Hunter, holding him.
"The emotion is lust, it comes from ponies when they want to copulate"
>Angel looks at you with a slightly shocked expression.
>"Wait what? Did you just explain to him what lust is and means?"
>You roll your eyes.
"This is a bit normal for changelings, we don't have the benefit of waiting like ponies. Lust and love are literaly our bread and butter, they are strong and easy to find sources of energy that we need."
>"Right... makes sense, I'm just suprised that he gets that explained to him on day one."
>Angel smiles and looks at you.
>"But i get to give the next one "the talk" to if they are a pony."
>Angel looks infront of him and smiles wider.
>"Here we are, just need to dock."
>'We are different?' Hunter asks.
 
"Yes, you are different. We are both changelings and daddy is a pony. You and i can both use magic..."
>You gently levitate Hunter away and back towards you, seeing him flail about a little before setting him down on the floor.
"We also have wings for flying and can sense emotions."
>You extend a wing and show it to Hunter.
'We can also talk like this and transform.'
>You transform into a pegasus, Hunter looking shocked and scared as the sight.
>He quickly moves and hides behind the Chair Angel is in.
'Don't be afraid, mommy is still the same.'
>Hunter looks at you from around the chair cautiously, inching his way out.
>You transform back and smile at him, giving him a hug when he excitedly runs to you.
>You show off the other races and their features once Hunter relaxes, saving earth ponies for last as Angel gets out of his chair.
"And daddy is an earth pony! They can't fly or use magic, but they are really strong."
>"Can't butter me up after taking away the father/son talk." He says as he turns his head away with a smile.
"Don't worry Angel, i will fully rely on you for rearing pony foals. Especially for diapers!"
>Angel smiles at you when he sees you smiling at him, chuckleing as he shakes his head.
>You look down as you feel pressure against your forehoof, Seeing Hunter nuzzle you and Angel.
 
>You pick Hunter up and give him a hug, nuzzling him.
>You then switch to holding Hunter with one hoof, pulling Angel close as you all hug.
>Hunter chitters like before, Giving Angel and you more nuzzles.
>'Daddy feels really happy'
"He is happy, and with good reason."
>You let Angel take Hunter and watch as they nuzzle, feeling the emotions from Angel.
>"You and your mother just may be the best things to have happened to me."
>Angel sets Hunter down, smiling at te little changeling.
>"Alright then, shopping time? Think he will be alright with the crowd of the station?" Angel asks, looking at you.
 
"He will be with us so he will be fine, he can stay on your back untill we get to where he can look around."
>"Alright then, let's get to it."
"One thing though Angel."
>You give Angel a kiss before he speaks, feeling a wave of love from him.
"I feel the same way."
>Angel kisses you back before laying on the floor, letting Hunter climb onto him.
>'Where are we going?'
"We are going shopping for you! You are about to see a lot of new and exciting things. Please ask before touching anything though."
>You all head out to the station, Hunter looking around with wide eyes at everything, asking about the sights and smells.
>Some passing ponies stare or glance in your direction as you all walk, either with curious or bewildered expressions.
>You quickly stop at a store for a camera and move on, getting to a large store.
>You lower Hunter down, turning to Angel.
"I'll keep an eye on him, Why don't you look around and find some nice things for him?"
>"I think you are starting to trust me too much Vex." Angel says with a smile.
>He gives you a peck and trots off, leaving your attention to Hunter.
>You watch as he looks at the toys, then turning to you.
>'Can i pick one up?'
"Go ahead, find one you like."
>Hunter walks down the aisle for a little bit, looking at the toys closely.
>One of the toys suddenly makes a loud noise as Hunter walks by, making him jump back and bump into a shelf.
>Two stuffed toys fall onto him, Hunter looking at you after.
>'Oops'
>A chuckle makes you turn, seeing Angel with a pair of sweaters.
>"You alright Hunter?"
>You turn back and see Hunter nod, looking up at where the toys fell from.
>"Wich one would look better on him?" Angel asks.
>He shows you the sweaters, both having the same lightning bolt pattern.
>One of the sweaters is blue and yellow, the other purple and black with yellow outlines.
 
"The purple and black one."
>"Got it, i'll be back soon enough."
>As Angel takes off again, you look back at Hunter, seeing him try to get the toys back on the shelf.
>You help him with your magic, moving on to another aisle after.
>Angel comes back after quickly, carrying a few more things.
"That was fast, what do you have now?"
>"Just a few books and a season of the critters show Cotton watches. I suppse i have the advantage of knowing what to buy thanks to her, except it's my son and not my sister I'm buying for."
>He sighs and laughs, giving his head a shake
>"Pa, you better be laughing long and hard from wherever you are."
>A small clatter sounds in front of you, Hunter setting down a box with a transforming fighter along with a stuffed manticore.
>'Are these okay?'
 
"Yes, they are."
>You levitate the manticore onto your back, Angel Taking the box.
"Do you think they have an ebook here?"
>"Yes, I'll get one."
>You turn back to Hunter, smiling.
"Choose a building kit also Hunter, pick whatever one you want."
>Once you get a kit and find Angel, you buy all the things, costing 300 credits.
>You all walk out of the store with the things, Hunter on Angel's back, hugging the manticore.
>"So, anything else?" Angel asks.
 
>You gently bump Angel with your flank, smiling.
"You need to go get some speical things while me and Hunter go get some fresh food."
>Angel smiles, nodding.
>"Yes ma'am, I'll hop to it."
>You take Hunter onto your back and go your separate way from Angel, finding a fresh food market.
>You buy a good amount of fruits and vegetables, Hunter sniffing the air and asking about the food as you do.
>You feel a nudge against your flank, seeing Angel smile at you as he carrys a black bag.
>"Got everything needed and more." He says with a wink.
 
>You flick your tail fin at Angel and grin at him.
"Good. I hope that there's some fun things in there."
>"You'll see. I'll pay for the food."
>Angel pays for the needed food, taking some bags from you after.
"Is there anything else you want to get for Hunter?"
>Angel hums, looking thoughtful.
>"Food, entertainment, education... Room and such can wait like you said... Nope, can't think of- Wait!"
>Angel gets a big smile on his face.
>"I know just the thing that i almost forgot."
>You follow Angel to a store, waiting for him as he buys something.
>'Help please?'
>You see Hunter holding up the sweater that was bought for him, smiling at the sight.
>After you help him get it on, Angel returns, carrying a ball.
>"If there is one thing I'm going to do with my kid, it's play hoofball."
 
>You laugh a little, smiling at Angel.
"What year is it Angel?"
>Angel rolls his eyes, smiling back.
>"Sorry that i want to play an old sport with my son, one that would be easily accessible at a moments notice might i add. And look who is talking! You had fun playing hoofball with Cotton when we went to our colony!"
"I know, just teasing. It seems somepony like his sweater."
>You gesture towards Hunter, Angel smiling.
>"Good."
"Ready to go back to the ship Hunter?"
>'Yes mommy."
>You all head back to the ship, bringing all the bought goods back.
>You see most of the crew there when you arrive, only Fixer missing.
>"Hey guys, went shopping?" Chaos asks.
"Yes, a little for Hunter."
>"Awee, Hunter looks cute!" Cobalt says.
>"Oh! before i forget. Somepony called for you about the AI job Vex, they wanted to say thanks and apparently sent payment."
 
"Right, i forgot all about that. Today has been bussy so far, i have been all caught up in it. We did do the delivery right?"
>"Yes, yesterday before we did the AI job."
"Good. Fixer in her room?"
>"Yea, she's going nuts over Sid, seems a little jumpy too." Chaos says.
>"She did drink a lot of coffee." Cobalt says.
>You give a nod, looking to Hunter, who is on your back.
>You see him yawn before you have a chance to speak, Angel smiling as the little changeling rubs his eyes.
>"Somepony needs a nap i think." He says.
 
"Come on Angel, let's put him to bed for a little bit."
>You and Angel carry the things and Hunter, making a quick stop near the mess to store the food.
>You then carry the rest of the bags to your room, setting them down.
>You bring Hunter to your bed, lifting him and the covers with your magic, placing the manticore in front of him.
>You gently tuck Hunter in, smiling at him.
"Just call of you need mommy."
>"Or find dad," Angel says as he gives Hunter a nuzzle, "We are both here for you Hunter."
>Hunter sleepily nods, looking exhausted and he hugs the manticore.
>You give him a nuzzle too, singing the same lullaby to Hunter when he was still in the egg, watching his eyes close.
>Eventualy you stop and see Hunter breath slowly, sleeping peacefully.
>You feel a peck and Angel leans against you, a smile on his face.
 
>You nuzzle Angel, standing up after a bit.
>As you quietly leave the room, Angel turns and hides the black bag before exiting.
>You lean against him and sigh after, feeling a nip on your neck.
>"Now i'm all fired up for what i have in store for you, we should steal the showers or a spare room."
"Naughty stallion. Speaking of, want to help me tease Fixer?"
>Angel looks as you with a curious expression.
>"Tease her about what?"
"Something interesting i found on her computer, i wana get Chaos involved too."
>Angel smiles nodding.
>"I'm curious, It sounds like something interesting. lead the way."
>The both of you find Chaos, getting his attention.
"Hey Chaos, feel like teasing Fixer a little?"
>Chaos smiles, looking at you.
>"What about? I feel like she needs to be messed with a little, she's all jumpy."
>"Vex found something on her computer apparently." Angel says.
>"Is that why she is so jumpy? It's nothing bad is it?"
 
>You gesture the twins to follow, smiling.
"No, it's nothing bad. And i am sorry Angel, it does mean that we put off your fun, But this is a golden opportunity for all of us."
>"What is going on? What did you find?" Chaos asks.
"I'm not going to spoil it, but i have a nice idea. Fixer has told me how much she enjoys you, and i know how much i enjoyed two of you."
>You nod at Chaos then Angel, transforming into Chaos after.
"So i bet Fixer would faint at three of you in the room, all teasing her at once."
>You transform back, grinning as you look back at Chaos.
"What do you think?"
>"I think you really are a succubus." Chaos says with a sigh.
>He looks thoughtful, turning to Angel.
>"Angel? Any thoughts?"
>"If this is going where i think it is? Your mare, your rules. It's just fun for us to all have."
>You all arrive at Fixer's room, Chaos getting a grin.
>"Sure, why not? None of us are trying to steal each other. I'm in." Chaos whispers.
 
"Alright, i'll go first, you two can come in one at a time when I'm transformed and when you think it is appropriate. The buildup is most important here."
>The brothers nod, hiding to the sides of the door.
>You walk in and approach Fixer, sneaking up on her as she works away.
"Hey Fixer."
>"AAAAAH!" Fixer screams.
>She pants and looks at you, holding her chest.
>"Fuck! Don't do that to me Vex!"
"Sorry, I thought you heard me. i came to check up on you, see how the work with Sid was going."
>Fixer clears her throat, blushing.
>"Fine, i'm just stuck with shackling him."
"No price on the stuff you mentioned then?"
>Fixer shakes her head, looking at the computer.
>"No, Sid is actually complex. I want him to be safe before we even try to use him, but programing his shackels is an actual challenge."
>Fixer blushes more, glancing around.
>"So, I'm safe right? I'm guessing you saw the pictures that looked really forcefull and made the mares look non consenting? I'm just into hitting, and forcing, and being ordered, and..."
>Fixer sighs, smiling at you.
>"Sorry, just embarrassed about this. i get worked up easily."
 
>You laugh and wave a hoof, smiling at Fixer.
"Please, it's nothing I haven't seen before or experienced before."
>Fixer sighs, laughing untill she sees your grin.
>You begin to circle her in her chair, keeping close to her.
"The loss of control, being forced to obey a stallion's every want and will. Being shown your place as a plaything. Sure, Femdom can be fun, but there are certain other... benefits."
>You can feel lust from Fixer, seeing her watch your every move, keeping still and silent.
>You transform into Chaos as you move behind her, roughly grabbing her jaw and turning her towards you.
"And who doesn't like finding a new plaything?"
>Fixer struggles slightly in suprise, her lust very high as you keep her looking at you, making sure she doesn't look at the door
>You see Chaos walk in slowly as Angel peaks around the corner, A grin on his face.
>Chaos winks and nods at you, stopping about half way behind Fixer.
>"P-plaything? Vex, what?" she says, her eyes wide.
 
"Yes, a plaything. It is what you like. You want to be like the mares with the marks on their flanks. little ticks for how much she is used."
>You move closer to Fixer and she climbs off the chair she is in, keeping faced towards you as she does.
>You shove the chair aside and keep advanceing, grinning as fixer backs up
"Nothing is wrong with knowing your place Fixer."
>"Vex i... i..."
>Fixer gasps as she bumps into Chaos, turning and backing towards her bed.
>You nod at Chaos as you make her stop and circle around her again, Chaos joining in.
"A plaything, right Chaos?"
>He nods, looking Fixer dead in the eyes.
>"A fuck toy."
>You brush against her.
"One that listens to every command."
>"A good little slave that listens to her master."
"And if she doesn't?"
>Chaos chuckles as his lust rises, making Fixer look at him.
>"She gets punished."
>Fixer's lust rises more at the last word that Chaos says, a slight shiver being seen.
>Chaos motions you next to him as Fixer stares up at him, a mixture of terror and want on her face, her back to the door.
>"You know, i did see her try to get away from you when you grabbed her. Shouldn't you punish her for resisting you? It's only fair as you were the one she tried to pull away from." Chaos asks.
>Angel walks in, closing and locking the door behind him.
 
"True."
>You give Fixer a slap across the muzzle and make her yelp, turning her head towards you after.
>You catch a certain sent, letting go of Fixer.
"Smell that?"
>You lean over and grab Fixer's tail, beinging it up and exposing her marehood.
"I don't think we gave this little slut permission to enjoy herslef."
>"She really is enjoying herself." Angel says, pointing out a wet spot on the floor.
>"Very bad." Chaos says.
>He takes Fixer from you and spanks her, passing her to Angel.
>Angel does the same, giving fixer to you after he spanks her, Fixer crying out with each hit she gets.
>You firmly bring your own hoof down on her, getting the same reaction before Chaos pulls her away.
>He pushes her face near her mess, Fixer panting as her lust stays at a high point.
>"Lick it up."
>Fixer stays still, blushing at the words from Chaos.
>"I order you."
>Fixer licks up her juices, mumbling something when she is done.
"What was that?"
>Fixer shakes, looking up at you.
>"I'm sorry. I'll be good, I promise."
 
""You will be good?" No. You will learn to be good. I promise you that."
>You pull Fixer back towards you and spank her again, making her cry out loudly.
>You shove her back to Chaos, smiling.
"Miss a shower Chaos? I bet that the little bitch would be a good ball cleaner."
>"May as well test her out." Chaos says.
>He pulls Fixer's mane, directing her to his sack as he spreads his legs.
>Fixer gets right to it, licking away at Chaos.
>"Why don't we make this more fun?" Chaos says.
>He reaches under fixer's bed, pulling out a box.
>He pulls out an buttplug from the box, leaning over and inserting it into Fixer.
>Fixer stops and strains, keeping her mouth shut before going back to licking.
>You watch as Chaos grows, getting hard as Fixer licks his sack.
>"So, who is next? Fair treatment unless somepony wants the toy to do something for them."
>Fixer's tail raises as she licks away, her arousal easily visible as her marehood winks.
 
>You grab Fixer's tail and pull her towards you, only to throw her to the ground in front of Angel.
>Angel's legs are already spread when Fixer looks up, exposing himself to her.
>He drags her closer by her mane, making Fixer whimper before she begins licking.
>You lift her taill again, exposing her towards Chaos.
>You put your other hoof between her legs, running it across her belly and to her marehood, Fixer moaning at the contact.
>You give her a firm spank before continuing, stopping at the plug and playing with it.
"Look at this, our little cock sock keeps leaking all over the place."
>"Hmmm, that's no good. I think i need to take care of this myself." Chaos says.
>He goes to move to her then stops, a grin on his face.
>"Hang on, there were mares with tick marks? body writing?"
"Yes."
>Chaos goes back into the box, pulling out a a few objects before moving to the bench in Fixer's room.
>He gives you a chain, smiling.
>"Get that on her neck would you?"
>You unscrew one of the different chains and get it around Fixer, making it a somewhat tight fit as you screw the chains together into a collar and leash.
>You see Angel's stallionhood begin to stand before you look back at Chaos, Seeing him fit a spreader bar onto Fixer to keep her hind legs far appart.
>Chaos then grabs a marker from Fixer's desk, writing on her flank.
>"There, that should do."
>You look at Chaos's work, seeing "Free use" across Fixer's flank with two arrows pointing to both her holes.
>There is also a set of rules under it, 1. Fill her up 2. moan = spanking 3. orgasim = punishment of your choice.
>"Now she just needs to get you ready for the fun to begin." Chaos says, keeping himself going with a few strokes.
 
"Let's hurry then. Excuse me Angel."
>Angel moves, letting you sit where he was.
>You spread your legs and grab Fixer's head, pressing her muzzle to your own sack.
>You feel Fixer's tongue lap across you, giving extra wet licks as she tends to you.
>You see her strain and stop licking you, returning to licking with urgency.
>looking up, You see Angel and Chaos both at her flank, Angel playing with the plug.
>Fixer lets out a moan and both the brothers bring their hooves down on her rear, making Fixer cry out again.
>She keeps up her work on you, making your member stand while the brothers toy with her.
>Chaos looks over to you, smiling as he picks up the chain.
>He gives it a tug and pulls Fixer away from you, Fixer having difficulty moving thanks to the spreader bar.
>Chaos reals her in and pulls her to the bed, lifting her up onto it.
>Fixer's hind legs dangle over the edge of the bed due to her size, her wings fluttering a little.
>Chaos holds her down by her wings and aligns himself, penetrating Fixer roughly.
>Fixer moans as Chaos ruts her, Chaos giving her a spank before looking at you and Angel.
>"Hop up you two, keep yourselves ready."
>He spanks Fixer as she moans again, giving her ear a bite.
>"And if her mouth is full, tell me when she moans."
 
>You and Angel climb up onto the bed, sitting in front of Fixer.
>Fixer's eyes are shut tight as Chaos pounds away at her, only opening them when you prod her muzzle with your tip.
"Open."
>Fixer obeys and opens her mouth, panting and making tiny noises untill you push into her mouth.
"Now suck."
>Fixer sucks and bobs her head as best as she can while chaos holds her down, the chain around her neck making little clinking sounds.
>You feel a vibration as she sucks, a muffled moan sounding from Fixer.
"She moaned Chaos."
>A firm smack sounds, Fixer whimpering as she sucks the tip of your member.
>You sigh as Fixer works away, pulling her mane a little.
"Come on, you can do much better than that."
>Fixer seems to go faster, struggling to move.
>You pull her mane and push down her throat, Fixer struggling untill you pull back and thrust back into her mouth.
"Fine, I'll do it better for you."
>"Come on Vex, my turn." Angel says after a you give a few thrusts, an annoyed tone in his voice.
>Angel winks and smiles at you as you pull out, Fixer gasping for air untill Angel takes your place in her mouth.
>You her a grunt after a little bit, Chaos getting off of Fixer and pulling out of her.
>"Do as you please Vex. Hope you got a nice punishment for her, she is on the brink."
>Chaos picks up the marker and puts a line on Fixer's flank, giving her another spank.
 
>You switch places with Chaos, seeing cum drip from Fixer.
>Fixer moans loudly as you push in, letting go of Angel's shaft.
>You give her another spank, the lust from Fixer still as high as earlier.
>You begin to thrust vigorously, surprisingly being able to push almost all the way into the tiny mare.
>You see Chaos pull on the chain, directing Fixer to his length.
>"Better clean up."
>She laps up the juices on Chaos, her face red as she does.
>She suddenly tenses up and moans loudly, trying to pull her legs together with no luck, a metal on metal noise sounding from the spreader bar.
>You pull on the plug as she orgasims, making her squirm and moan more.
"Just can't control yourself can you?"
>You pull the plug out along with your stallionhood, taking the spot of the plug as you set it aside.
>Fixer flutters her wings about wildly, gasping for breath as you push into and pull out of her.
>The brothers use Fixer's mouth as you thrust away, spanking her time to time as she moans.
>You eventually empty yourself into her, Fixer's leg twitching as she pants and mumbles.
 
>You pull out and push the plug back in with ease, making Fixer winper before adding a line to her flank.
"Better not spill a drop of cum."
>You can see Fixer tense up around the plug, as if to hold it in place.
>Angel gets up and you give him a very brief peck as you pass, making him pause for a moment before getting into position.
>You lift Fixer's head and smile at her, seeing the sleepy look on her face.
"You need to train your pet better Chaos, she's tired already."
>Chaos chuckles, stroking Fixer's cheek.
>"I'll get her all trained up. Make her nice and obedient for anypony. Though she may need to be tested by others now and again."
>You place your member in front of Fixer, letting go of her face.
"Lick."
>She gently begins laping at your member, Angel pishing into her as she does.
"I'm sure we can provide some assistance."
>Fixer keeps laping at your member once you are clean, Chaos directing her to his after.
>After a bit, Angel finishes, pulling out of Fixer.
>Fixer looks half asleep as she breaths, a smile on her face.
>"Thanks... that was hot as hell..." She whispers.
 
>You pat Fixer's cheek, smiling at her.
"Better keep that present inside of you untill you go to sleep."
>"Check with me in the morning." Fixer says weakly
>"Angel? Mind undoing the bar?" Chaos asks.
>You transform back as Angel takes off the spreader bar, walking next to him and rubbing against him.
"Gonna be hard to go back to our vanilla sex life after this."
>"We can manage. Anyways, we have the new toys now."
>Angel leans in, whispering in your ear.
>"And those spells."
>You hear a clinking of the chain and turn your head, Chaos lifting Fixer next to him.
>He pets her, strokeing along her mane.
>"My little pet feeling good?"
>Fixer nods, smiling.
"Come on Angel, let's go."
>"Leave more presents when you can my masters." Fixer says, nuzzleing Chaos.
>You both walk out, catching movment out of the corner of your eye.
>You turn and see Hunter wandering the halls, faceing away from you and Angel.
>'Mommy?'
"Right here Hunter."
>He turns and walks up to you, hugging your leg.
>'I'm hungry. I tried to use the emotins to find you and daddy."
 
>You pick Hunter up, nuzzleing him.
>You feed him some love energy, a smile on his face after.
"Did you sleep well?"
>Hunter nods.
"Good! let's get you some food."
>The three if you head to the mess and you get out some fruits and vegetables for Hunter, Angel grabbing himself and you a meal package.
>You all sit down and eat, enjoying the food.
>Angel watches Hunter as you all eat, turning to you with a smile.
>"Any idea how long till the little guy talks? Or starts hiding by transforming?"
 
"Getting him to talk will be easier than getting him to transform, he will experiment with magic and learn how to feed off of love at the same time later on. By all means, he can talk right now, he is just so used to communicating via the hive. I have been talking out loud and silently to get him used to it."
>"I kinda noticed, helps keep me in the loop too."
"You can try getting him to talk now if you want to. Once he gets a good grasp of it, he will do it easily."
>Angel nods and turns to Hunter.
>He stops and snickers as Hunter pushes some broccoli aside, a sour look on Hunter's face.
>"You really should eat those."
>You smile and get up.
"I'll be right back."
>You quickly trot to your wuarters and grab the camera, headding back to the mess.
>You see Angel trying to get Hunter to talk, a smile on his face.
>"Try again, you are close."
>Hunter makes a few noises that come close to "Ahh's" and "Maa" most of them being interrupted by tiny chitters.
>"Close. Don't worry though, you will be talking soon enough."
>Hunter frowns and moves closer to Angel, giving him a nuzzle.
>Angel laughs and Nuzzles back, Hunter chittering happly as Angel gives him a hug.
>"I take it back. You are talking plenty, just not with your voice."
>You quickly take a picture of them, both of them looking towards you after.
>Anger whispers something and Hunter hops down, moving to you and giving your leg a nuzzle.
 
>You pat Hunter's head, the little changeling beaming at you
"What did daddy say to you?"
>Hunter nuzzles you again.
>'He said to give mommy the same attention.'
"Did he now?"
>Angel nods, grinning.
>"Because i know how much mommy would love it. And. maybe that she would let him off the hook for not eating the broccoli.
>Hunter gets the same look on his face as before, looking up at you.
>'it tastes bad.'
>"Either way, we still have a good chunk of the day left. Think we should teach Hunter a little? Or play with him?"
 
"We can do both. Let's head back to the room, I know just what to start with."
>You all clean up and head back to your quarters.
>Once there, you turn to Hunter, smiling.
"Alright then, let's see about giving your wings a stretch Hunter. Take off your sweater."
>"Flying?" Angel asks.
>You nod, helping Hunter when you see him struggle a little.
"Just to have him move his wings and see how they work."
>"Ha, wish i could help."
"You are here for support. And we still need to teach him plenty of things."
>Once you get Hunter free of his sweater, you spread your
wings, shiwing them to Hunter.
"Try spreading your wings Hunter."
>Hunter does the same as you, spreading his wings with some effort and looking over them after.
"Alright, watch mommy closely."
>You begin to move your wings in the same motion you would for flying, but at a much slower pace.
"See how well you can copy mommy."
>'Okay.'
>Hunter begins to move his wings in a similar motion, Angel nodding.
>"Seems like he has the idea."
"Good job! Try to see how fast you can move them."
>Hunter picks up a little speed, not quite getting to a point where his wings make a buzzing sound.
>He stops after a bit, looking at you.
>'It's kinda hard to do.'
 
>You nod and smile at Hunter.
"Only because you are not used to it, it's your first time."
>You take off and hover slightly, looking at him.
"But soon, we can fly together!"
>You move next to Angel and lean against him, nuzzleing his ear.
"Once he is a strong flyer, the benefits of an earth pony for a dad will come into play. Imagine how fun it would be to fly after being tossed into the air by a big strong stallion?"
>Angel laughs and nuzzles back.
>"True."
>He pulls back and looks at Hunter, smiling.
>"Now come on kiddo, let's play with some toys. Pick one!"
>Hunter smiles and moves to the bags, pulling out the building kit.
>'This one.'
 
"Sure! let's open it up."
>You help Hunter open the box, getting the many pieces out.
>You spot and instruction book of possible builds, from buildings to vehicles.
"Here Hunter, choose one to build."
>Hunter looks at the book, choosing a ship.
>'This one.'
>"Let's get to it then."
>You keep the instructions held up as Hunter gets the pieces for the project, Angel assisting him.
>You take a few pictures as the two of them work away, Hunter smiling the entire time.
>Slowly and steadily, the build comes together, the little ship taking from.
>You take another picture as Hunter looks at the finished ship.
>A snickering gets your attention, Angel holding a hoof over his mouth as he looks at you.
"What?"
>He grins widely.
>"Sorry, just never seen a literal shutterbug."
 
>You smile and sigh.
"You... are going to get it."
>He gives you a wink, Hunter tilting his head in confusion.
>"Worth it."
>'Shutterbug?'
"It's a joke at changelings."
>'I don't get it.'
"Maybe when you are a little older."
>Angel nods, looking at the built ship.
>"Anyways, this looks good! Nice job Hunter."
>The little changeling smiles, setting the ship down.
"Want to build another?"
>'Something else, i wana play with both mommy and daddy.'
 
>You sigh, giving your head a shake.
"We sould have bought some board games, or some crayons.
>"Shoot. Ah well, not like there is a shortage, we can just buy them."
"True."
>'Could we all play with the other toys?'
"Other toys?"
>Hunter points a hoof to the two pluses that Chaos and Angel won for you.
"Sure!"
>You smile and levitate the plushes over to you and Angel, Hunter grabbing his manticore.
>You all play a heroic imaginary game, Hunter's manticore playing the role of the Hero.
>You play the villain and Angel plays the princess as best as he can, calling for help as he sits atop the enemy fortress that is your bed.
After about an hour, Hunter gets up, moving for the door.
>'I need to go again.'
"Mommy has a bathroom right there Hunter."
>The little changeling stops and turns, following your pointed hoof and going into the bathroom.
>Once the door closes, Angel strains his voice again, whispering.
>"Ahhh somepony save me!" He says with a smile.
>He puts a hoof to his throat, clearing it.
>"Can we come to an agreement that you get to be princess bear next time?"
 
"Is it that bad?"
>Angel nods, clearing his throat again.
>"There is good reason Chaos is the singer."
"Alright then."
>"Thanks, might keep the castle though."
>Hunter comes back out after a bit, all of you resuming playing.
>The game goes on for awhile, you and Angel having fun with your son.
>At one point you catch Hunter yawning, giving his head a shake.
>"Somepony tired?" Angel asks with a smile.
>Hunter just shakes his head.
 
"Don't worry Hunter, we can continue this tomorrow. Let's get you to bed."
>'But we're having fun.'
"I know, but if you don't get your sleep, you will be too tired to play and won't be able to play while you get proper rest."
>"Hey Hunter, how about a story? I'll read to you if you hop in bed." Angel says, holding up a book.
>Hunter yawns again, nodding and grabbing his sweater.
>After he gets it on, you lift him and his manticore up onto the bed.
>Angel sits next to Hunter with the book and begins reading as you tuck Hunter in.
>You sit next to Angel as he reads the book, watching Hunter as he listens to the story, seeing him hugging his manticore again.
>About halfway through the story, Angel stops and looks at the little changeling, Hunter sound asleep.
 
>You levitate the camera up, taking a picture of Hunter as he sleeps.
>"He's pretty cute." Angel whispers.
"He is."
>You nuzzle Angel, taking a picture of all three of you on the bed as he nuzzles back.
>You bring the camera back and look at the picture with Angel, hearing him sigh.
>He puts his Hoof to your cheek and turns your head towards him, pulling you in for a deep kiss.
>He nuzzles you when he breaks it, an enormous amount of love radiating from him.
>"Pretty mare. Are we going to bed now too?"
 
"Yes, it's been a long and exciting day."
>"First of many."
"Yes. Remind me to buy some board games and cards."
>"Crayons too. We can do it first thing in the morning."
>You carefully move the covers as to not disturb Hunter, Crawling into bed with Angel behind you.
>He wraps his hooves around your chest, nuzzleing the back of your neck.
>"Love you."
"Love you too."
>You feel a peck on your neck and drift asleep, enjoying the warmth from Angel.
>When you awake, you find Hunter nuzzled up against your chest, the little changeling clinging to you.
>"Vex?" Angel whispers.
"I'm awake."
>You hear Angel laugh quietly, his head resting against yours.
>"I think Cobalt would die at this sight."
 
"I can practically hear her squeaks, and then her going on forever about how it would be the cutest thing she ever saw. Then she would then slam a hoof over her mouth in fear of waking Hunter."
>"She would apologize like she blew up half the ship."
"She would too."
>"Take a picture, might as well add to the collection."
>You levitate the camera up and take a picture, faking to be asleep in it.
>You and Angel just lay and watch Hunter, whispering while you wait for the little changeling to awake.
>Hunter shifts and gives a big yawn like before, a sleepy and grumpy look on his face before he burries his head back into your chest.
>"Guess somepony doesn't like mornings."
 
>You gently blow on Hunter's ears, seeing them twitch.
>He immediately lifts his head, the same look on his face as he looks at you
"Good morning Hunter."
>Hunter just lays back down again, currling up against you even more.
>"Aww."
"Come on Hunter, don't you want breakfast?"
>You nuzzle him and he lifts his head, starting to wake up.
>You all get up and head to the mess, Angel carrying Hunter after he stumbles over his sleeves a few times.
>You see all of the crew there when you arive, Fixer looking tired as she leans against Chaos.
>"There's the family." Chaos says.
>"Morning Cap."
>"Awee, Hunter looks tired." Cobalt says.
>"That he does, Tea as usual Vex?" Charon asks.
 
"Yes Charon, thank you."
>Angel gives you Hunter, smiling.
>"You feed him the other half of his meal, i'll put something together."
"Thanks Angel."
>You set Hunter down on a chair, sliding the camera to Cobalt.
"Have a look Cobalt."
>She picks it up and her jaw drops, a grin on her face as she squeals in delight.
>"I thought you said baby changelings weren't that cute!"
>You laugh and begin feeding Hunter some energy, watching the little changeling perk up.
>As you finish feeding Hunter, you look at Fixer, seeing her shift around and make a small grunt.
>'Thank you mommy.'
"You are welcome Hunter. You alright Fixer? You look as tired as Hunter."
>"Yeh, just waking up still."
>You see a small blush work to her face.
>"I'm kinda worn out and still am working on something I was tasked with."
>As Angel sits down with frood for the three of you, Charon passes you your tea.
>'Thanks daddy.'
"Thanks again Charon."
>"My pleasure Vex."
>You look at Angel, grinning and nodding at Cobalt.
"Guess we were right about Cobalt. And Hunter says thank you."
>He smiles as he looks over at the grinning mare for a moment, then turning to hunter and patting him on the head.
>You dig in, opening up a job list.
>Patrol job: 3000 credits.
>Merc hunt: 6000 credits.
>Fuel shipment escort: 4000 credits.
>Attack a drug smuggler: 5000 credits.
 
>You accept the escort and open the merc hunt job, looking at the description.
>A few mercenaries have gone back on their word, taking an advanced payment for a protection job and running away when needed, letting the pony they were to protect get killed.
>You set down the job for now to think about it, finishing your food.
>You look over at Fixer after you finish, smiling.
"I'd like to check on progress for that task Fixer, mind showing me?"
>Fixer nods, getting up from the table, Chaos grinning as she trots off.
>You leave Hunter with Angel, following Fixer back to her room.
>When you get to her room, you smile at Fixer.
"Well?"
>Fixer turns around and leans forward, lifting her tail to expose herself.
>You can see the plug planted firmly where you left it inside of Fixer, the tiny mare looking back at you with a red face.
>"I made sure to be good and listen to both of you."
"Both?"
>"Master Chaos told me to listen to every instruction and learn from every training lesson either of you give. I want to make sure I'm a good pony."
 
>You smile, grabbing the end of the plug.
"I'll take good care of you Fixer, epically good care of you."
>You pull on it and move it around in circles, wimpers coming from Fixer.
>You pull the plug out, watching as Fixer shivers.
>"A-ahhh~"
"Turn around."
>Fixer does as instructed and looks towards you, her face getting redder as you place the tip of the plug to her lips, holding it with your magic.
"Clean it."
>She opens her mouth and laps at the plug, then taking it into her mouth and sucking on it.
>You move forward and as she cleans the plug, gently petting Fixer.
"Good girl. Good girl."
>Fixer blushes more at your words, a tiny smile on her face as she continues cleaning.
"Good girls like you deserve rest, so i leave you with only one rule. You are not allowed to pleasure yourself in any way."
>Fixer lets go of the plug and nods, bowing slightly.
>"I will obey master, but i kno-"
>Fixer stops and shrinks down, looking around.
>"I will learn my place and role."
>She slowly moves forward, nuzzling your hoof on the ground.
>"Rest or not. I await any orders, treatment, or training from you my master."
 
"Kiss my hoof."
>Fixer again does what you say, pressing her lips against hour hoof for a few seconds, looking at you for approval afterwords.
>You reach out and pet her again, smiling.
"Good girl. Go get cleaned up, that will be all for now. Remember what i said and don't pleasure yourself."
>Fixer nods and exits with you, headding for the crew showers while you head back to the mess.
>When you get back, Chaos grins again and gives you a wink, making you smile and nod at him.
>You sit back down, picking up the data pad again.
>"So Vex, whats our job for today?" Sky asks.
>Hunter looks at you with a confused look.
>'Job?'
 
"Yes Hunter, a job. Mommy and daddy do work for other ponies sometimes to get money, that way we can buy what we want or need."
>You look to your crew that is in the room.
"Today we are escorting a fuel shipment and hunting some mercenaries, the shipment being first."
>"Sounds easy enough, are they wanting the mercenaries to be brought back?" Sky asks.
>You check the job and confirm it, finding that the client didn't say if the mercenaries should be brought back alive or dead.
"They didn't say."
>Sky nods, shrugging.
>"Shall we get to it?" Angel asks.
"Yes, shopping first though. I'll do a quick run while everypony sets up."
>"Sure thing."
>Angel looks to Hunter, smiling.
>"Wana learn how to fly a ship Hunter?"
>The little changeling beams and chitters, looking excited.
>You take off into the markets and stores, searching for the items you want to buy.
>You get three diffrent board games, a set of cards, and a box of crayons.
>You also pick up a red collar and leash, a tiny stainless steel heart hanging from the collar.
>You get back to your ship after soending the 100 credits and head to your quarters, wanting to put away the bought games and toys for Hunter.
>As you set the items down, you catch the terminal in your quarters blinking.
>You give a brief glance at it, seeing you have a message from the local law enforcement and another from Hydra.
 
>You head to the terminal to read the messages, opening the one from Hydra first.
>The message details the possible agreement of lending you blueprints for the cloaking shield they have.
>Their current terms are a payment of 8000 credits or an undertaking of a potential mission, both offers including a legal agreement to not sell or trade the prototype shield design.
>You move onto the one from the law department, looking closely.
>The message includes three pictures, one of a familiar pony, the others of containers and barrels.
>You read the message out loud to yourself, skipping over the formalities.
"The pony in the picture, who shall not be legally named until his final trial, has been proven guilty of all pending criminal charges. The pony you have turned in is facing charges of terrorism, attempted murder, planned genocide, and trafficking. The chemical weapons found at his home are being used as evidence along with the dead changeling eggs you have turned in, unofficially guaranteeing his sentice to life or execution. While this department can not provide a reward, it would like to extend its thanks on behalf of the galactic communities for preventing a possible historic disaster. May the light of the princesses shine upon you, regardless of race or origin."
 
>You send a message asking about the job, reciving a call after a bit.
>You see Lock Down on the screen, the unicorn stallion buttoning up a dress shirt with his magic.
>"Miss Vex! A pleasure. I apologize for my current attire, i wanted to call you about this myself."
"Hello Lock Down, Is this about the possible job?"
>"Yes, and it takes place tomorrow. I need you to ship some cargo and take a specific route to do so."
"Just a shipping job?"
>Lock Down shakes his head, a serious expression on his face.
>"Simple on paper, but you will be one of eight ships taking preset routes to deliver items. Decoy ships while one carries the real prize."
"I see, this is important then."
>"I won't lie to you, you have been trustworthy so i will tell you the cargo. It's yellowcake, and not the edible type. we stumbled upon it during an operation and want to dispose of it."
>Lock Down sighs, levitating wine over to himself.
>"The odds of being attacked are high for this, regardless if you are a decoy or the ship to carry the product. I wanted to give you fair warning, this is a dangerous substance that can not fall into the wrong hooves."
 
"We have a deal Lock Down, sead me the locations and routes."
>Lock Down nods, smiling and raising a glass.
>"Dependable as always, I will make the needed arrangements. Have a good day miss Vex."
"You as well Lock Down."
>You end the call and finish putting the items away, making sure to hide the collar for Fixer.
>You make your way to the bridge, seeing Cobalt watching Hunter as he walks around.
>You have Angel take off and link up with the trasport, beginning the job.
>Fixer arrives on the bridge, Chaos grinning at her from his chair.
>"Don't you look all better."
>"Showers fix everything." she says with a smile.
>"Hey Vex, watch this." Angel says.
>He calls Hunter over and lifts him up onto the seat with him.
>Angel then takes his hooves off the controls, Hunter taking his place.
>"Just keep the dots together like daddy told you."
>Hunter nods, the little changeling watching he screen with intent.
>"Attaboy." Angel says with a smile.
 
"Well Angel, I'm sorry, it looks like you are about to be obsolete. Between Hunter and Sid, your odds don't look good."
>"What?" Angel says.
>"A computer and much younger pilot are tough to beat Angel. Hunter will last longer, and Sid is a computer that would achieve perfection." Sky says.
>"That's garbage! i have more experience and won't make predictable movements!"
"Then we can train Hunter more and have Sid only do basic piloting."
>Angel fakes an annoyed look, crossing his hooves.
>"I'd get up and pack my bags, but i know you will need me for outside the ship, and for other duties."
>He smiles and gives you a wink, his happy expression fading.
>"Speaking of, those mercenaries are either in space or docked somehwere if they are like us. What do we do about...."
>Angel gestures towards Hunter, Hunter still piloting away.
 
"Somepony can stay back if they are docked, and if it's in space, he can sit here with me. I want to keep him away from it all, but we can't completely avoid trouble in our line of work."
>"Yea, i know."
>"I could stay back." Cobalt says.
>"Probably best for Vex to choose who babysits, we will be down a valuable pony if we go on hoof. Hate to say it Cobalt, you were a good shot with that rifle, Vex may need you." Chaos says.
>Cobalt nods, frowning a little.
>"The rule applies to all of us Cobalt," Charon says, "You are better in a fight than i, but my medical skills may be needed. Regardless of who gets chosen, you still will get to play with Hunter at some point."
>Cobalt smiles, giggleing a little.
>"Just wana try and be a good aunt."
>"And I'm sure you will be."
>"Two ships, to the right. They are scouting us i think." Chaos says.
 
"Hunter, could you come here please? Daddy needs to take over and do his job."
>Hunter gets his hooves off the controls and Angel lowers him to the floor, moving to you after.
>Your crew gets into position, all of them working away at their stations as you lift Hunter up.
>"Cannons are ready captian." Cobalt says.
>'What's happening mommy?' Hunter asks, looking around at the crew as they work.
"Uncle Chaos thinks he sees some bad ponies."
>'Bad ponies?'
>You open the communications, broadcasting to the two ships.
"Attention approaching ships, this is the Artemis. You are ordered to cease your approach or be fired upon. No quarter will be given to anypony that attacks us or the transport."
>There is no responce, Hunter looking around.
>'Mommy?'
>"They are backing off a little Vex, still watching us though." Chaos says.
 
"Watch them closely, keep an eye out in other directions too. I'm expecting a trap."
>"Got it."
>You look at Hunter, seeing the confusion and worry on his face.
'We are protecting a ship, a ship that other want to hurt. It's mommy and daddy's job to protect them.'
>'Why are they wanting to hurt them?'
'Because they want to take what they have.'
>"Four ships ahead, but most of them are giving us a very wide berth."
"Most?"
>"One is coming right at us, a frigate."
>You look ahead, sering the larger ship fly towards yours.
>Four trails leave the frigate, all of them approaching your ship.
>"The frigate has launched missiles!"
 
"Evade the missles and cut right through them!"
>"On it!" Angel says.
>Angel stears the ship down, The missles closing in.
>"Switching on the fighter guns to try and intercept them." Sky says.
>You see the shots light up the empty space infront of you, headding for the missles.
>None of the shots hit, the missles closing the gap.
>"Not good." Angel says. "Brace!"
>You wrap your hooves around Hunter, the entire ship shaking as each of the missles hit.
>'Mommy!'
>You look at Hunter as the ship settles, seeing him shaking with a terrified look on his face as he tries to hide against you.
>"Damage to one of the fighter guns, armor holding." Sky says.
>You turn your attention back to the battle, seeing the enemy ship fire lasers at you.
"Open fire!"
>You watch as the beam cannons fire, the distance between your ship and the enemy frigate filled with green and red lights.
>All shots from both sides hit shields, none of them getting through
>"Shields at 80%!"
"Hit them with the lasers!"
>Angel aligns the ship as more lasers get fired from the enemy ship, watching him hit a button on the controls.
>More beams fire from your ship, along with two bright purple lasers.
>The beams break through the enemy shield, the lasers cutting the ship bottom up from its belly.
>You can see some clean holes in the ship as you get closer, the frigate firing a series of flares as the other ships keep their distance.
 
"I'm a mare of my word, finish them off."
>Angel fires the lasers again, cutting the enemy ship in two.
>An explosion from the engine finishes off the ship, what is left of it flying everywhere.
>You open the comunications, brodcasting on all channels.
"Next."
>The other ships turn and scatter as far as they can, none of them coming after you.
"How is the transport? Give me a damage report."
>"They are fine and right behind us." Chaos says.
>"Just the gun, I'll check the armor plates when i can though." Sky says.
>All the other ships keep their distance, most of them dropping off radar as you continue flying.
>You take the chance to look down at Hunter, seeing him cling to you tightly.
>You hug him, attempting to comfort him.
"It's alright Hunter, we are safe. It's all over."
>'It's scary!'
"I know, but we don't need to worry. We are all here to protect each other, everything will be fine because we all work together."
>Hunter keeps holding onto you, the little changeling still shaking.
>"He alright Vex?" Angel asks
 
"Yes, he's just scared from the explosions. He will be fine. Let's finish this job up."
>Angel nods, returning to piloting.
>You gently stroke Hunter's back, humming to the little changeling.
>Hunter starts to clam down after a bit raising his head as you hum away.
>He gives you a nuzzle, hugging you.
>'I feel better, thank you mommy.'
"It's alright Hunter."
>"Here, maybe this will help? They taste good." Cobalt says.
>She holds up a small bag of gummies, giving them to Hunter.
>He chews on the treat, a smile on his face.
>'Thank you aunt Cobalt.'
"He says thank you aunt Cobalt."
>Cobalt smiles, giggleing.
>The rest of the journey goes smoothly and you arrive at your destination, receiving payment for the job.
 
>You dock at the station for a moment, getting Hunter some food and letting Sky check the plates.
>"So, the mercenaries now?" Chaos asks.
"Yes, we need to find them and deal with them."
>"Do we know where they could be?"
>You grab a nearby data pad and open the job, finding only the pictures and names of the mercs.
"No, only names and photos."
>"Could i see?" Cobalt asks.
>You give her the data pad, Cobalt looking at it, a smile on her face as she works at it.
"What is it Cobalt?"
>"I was a bad pony, and I remember the tricks i was taught for smuggling. All ships have a signature and name, if they are like us, their ship is registered under the captain's name and should be easy to find. We did this to find ponies that would trade us stuff, or help smuggle things."
>"Wow, you can do that Cobalt?" Angel asks as he sits by Hunter.
>Cobalt blushes and smiles, nodding.
>"It's not that hard, the only difficult part is gaining acess to docking records. either by sneaking in and finding a computer or paying a dock worker with access."
>She gives you the data pad back, smiling.
>"Her name is Cerb, and the ship is called the Raven."
>Sky flys down, shrugging.
>"Good news, it's only paint damage and a few loose screws for the armor. Bad news, 1500 credts to replace the lost antifighter gun."
 
"How much would it cost?"
>"Depends on the dock worker, only once did we need to pay 2000
credits. you could ask around." Cobalt says.
"Well, what about hacking? think we could hack it or break in and make a back door for future use Fixer?"
>Fixer smiles and nods, looking eager.
>"I will impress if you want me to."
>"We could combine both, pay them to let us have acess and have fixer make a back door for us to plant while we are there." Chaos says.
>"Either way, what about the gun Vex? should i repair it now?"
"Yes, here."
>You give Sky the credits, the griffon taking off to get to work.
>"So, how we doing this Cap?" Fixer asks.
 
"Let's do both, it's a nice investment. How long will it take to get it set up Fixer?"
>"Five minutes, I've done this kinda thing before."
"Let's go then, Cobalt and Fixer will come with me."
>The three of you take off, Cobalt directing all of you to a shipping building.
"So, who should we ask Cobalt?"
>Cobalt looks around, he ears twitching before she points a hoof at a pony.
>"The older ones usualy have worked here longer."
>You approach an older stallion at a coffee machine, the older unicorn looking rather bored.
"Excuse me."
>"Help desk is over there sweetie."
>Cobalt giggles, getting the stallions attention.
>He stares at you and sighs, drinking his coffee.
>"Mercenaries?"
"Yes, we-"
>"Want to know where a ship is. 10% of what you will be paid is the minimum, get my attention and I'll give you a computer."
 
 
"How about 600 credits? Sound good?"
>The stallion smiles, nodding a little.
>"Sounds nice, how about we bring it up to 800? Might be a bad idea to let a changeling i know nothing about into a computer with such data."
>"You have a grandkid i bet, all of it going to them?" Cobalt asks with a smile.
>The stallion looks at Cobalt with an odd expression.
>"Why do you say that?"
>"You jumped at the chance to get the money, a nice birthday gift to spoil them? I doubt all that money goes to alcohol."
>The stallon pauses, looking away.
>"There's a baby aboard our ship, still very young. Do you think we could all settle on 650? that way there is emergency money kept aside for a baby's health?"
>The stallion glances at all of you, rolling his eyes.
>"700."
 
"Deal."
>You give the credits to the stallion, who leads you all to a room.
>"Just gonna stay and watch." He says.
>Fixer quickly goes to work, finding the ship profile easily.
>Her mechanical hoof extends a spike like before and she sticks it into the computer, A progress bar quickly flashing on the screen.
>"What was that?" The stallion asks.
>"Relax old timer, just copying the ship information. They may have a pattern to where they go."
>She pulls her hoof away and hops down from the chair.
>"All done."
"Do we know where they are?"
>"Yep! Docked at a station."
>You turn to the stallion, smiling.
"Thank you."
>The stallion sighs, nodding.
>"Yea, get out of here. Keep that kid healthy."
>You all leave the building, headding back to the ship.
"That was impressive Cobalt!"
>Cobalt blushes, smiling.
>"It was nothing..."
>"Nothing? You practically played him like a fiddle!"
>Cobalt smiles more, biting her lip
>"It's just what i learned. I had to do that a lot to get out of trouble when i couldn't hide or got caught."
>"You must have gotten away every time with a tongue like that!"
>Cobalt's ears droop a little, a smile still on her face.
>"Almost. It feels better using my skils to help instead of lying and stealing."
 
>You give Cobalt a hug, her ears perking up.
"Glad you are here to help Cobalt."
>"Happy to help." She says, hugging you back.
>You look to the other side of you, smiling at Fixer.
"How did things on your end go anyways?"
>She looks up at you, smiling.
>"Even if he suspects i did something, they will never find the backdoor. We can do a search for any ship in the galaxy that is registered and not considered a pirate ship. The plan went perfectly."
>You nod, turning forward.
"Good girl Fixer, this helps."
>You glance back at her as you feel a little bit of lust from her, Fixer blushing faintly as she glances around.
>"Just making you proud."
>You all get back to the ship, Hunter walking up and nuzzling your leg when he sees you.
>You nuzzle him back, looking at Fixer again after.
"So where are they?"
>"Docked at a station called Shield. I'll set up acess to the backdoor on the terminal in your room for whenever you need it."
 
"Make sure to set something up to monitor it. I want to know if some brave hacker does the same thing."
>"No worries, I thought of everything, even a delete command."
"Good. Let's go to Shield and take care of this job."
>"You got it Vex. Come on Hunter, Ill need some help again." Angel says with a smile.
>You all get aboard the ship and take off, the flight taking about an hour.
>Angel docks the ship when you arrive, turning to you.
>"We are here Vex."
>"What's the plan?" Chaos asks.
 
"Since they are docked, they are either out or will come out, we will take that chance to gain the advantage by catching some of them outside."
>You grab a data pad and show the pictures of two unicorns, two pegasus ponies, and a griffon.
"Chaos and Sky will place some explosives on their engines, that way we can blow them up and they can't escape. Cobalt, i want you perched somewhere where you can see the ship and any entrances to the area. Angel, Charon, and myself will be keeping a lookout for them while all that happens."
>"What about me?" Fixer asks.
"I need you to stay behind and watch Hunter."
>Fixer sighs, looking a bit disappointed.
>"Wanted to join in on the fun?" Chaos asks.
>"Yeh. Suppose one pistol wouldn't be too much help though. Next time." She says with a shrug.
"Show him a game, he had his food recently so he shouldent be too much troubble. you'll be able to finish your work on Sid too."
>"I'll do what i can."
>"Don't worry, Hunter is fun and we will be back in no time." Angel says.
>Hunter looks at you, a worried look on his face.
>'You and daddy are going?'
 
>You move to Hunter, giving him a nuzzle.
"Yes, but we will be back in a little while. I promise. Fixer will take care of you while we are gone."
>'But I don't want you to go.'
"I know, but we have a job to do."
>Hunter nods, looking sad.
>"Don't worry Hunter, we will have fun. i have a great game for you, come on." Fixer says.
>You and Angel give Hunter a goodbye hug, then proceed to gear up with the rest of the crew.
>You all head out and go to where the mercenaries are docked, Cobalt going off on her own at some point to find a perch.
>The rest of your crew split up for their assigned tasks as you all near, Chaos giving some gernades from his launcher to Sky.
>You start walking around and keep an eye out for any of the mercenaries, Cobalt talking on the radio.
>"Found a spot. The ship is open, but i don't see anypony."
"Keep an eye on the ship."
>You keep walking around, the docks being slow and lacking any heavy traffic.
>"Captian Vex, I see the griffon, he is headding back to the ship with supplies." Charon says.
>"A unicorn just stepped out for a cigar, it's not the captain, she has no armor." Cobalt says.
 
"Angel, try and knock out the griffon. Keep watch Charon, I'll take the mare by surprise."
>"On it." Angel says.
>You transform and make your way towards the ship, able to approach the mare from behind.
>As you get close, the mare turns, looking at you and offering a cigar.
>"Hey Snowy, forget something?"
>You nod and approach, not knowing the griffon's voice, reaching for the cigar.
>You transform and lunge at the last second, slaming the mare into the wall as you bite her.
>Her hooves slam against the wall before she goes limp, making a lot of noise.
>"Oi! Everything alright?" a voice calls, hoof steps coming from around the corner.
 
 
>You mimic the mare's voice as best as you can, calling out to the other voice.
"Fuck... Yeah, just banged my damn leg."
>"Did you take half the wall with ya?"
>You move to the doorway as the stallion pegasus rounds the corner, biteing him and pulling him into the room.
>He gets a very good hit on your face before he falls prey to your venom, enough to make you drop him to the ground.
>You hold a hoof to your nose, seeing blood when you pull it away.
>"Asshole griffon... taken care of." Angel says.
>"Bombs placed Vex." Sky says.
 
"Good, stand by, i'm going to head inside the ship and knockout the others."
>"We will be ready."
>You wait for your nose to stop bleading and wipe the blood away, transforming before heading inside.
>You move around the ship, it's small size making it easy to navigate.
>You hear two voices talking and approach a doorway.
>"Nah, he's just embarassed." a mare says.
>"You sure?" a stallion asks.
>"Yes i'm sure, he's not gonna be pissed at you because you asked him out. If he is, i'll beat sense into him like a good captian would."
 
>You move away, radioing your crew.
"Cobalt, Angel, and Charion. Take care of the ones that are unconscious."
>You move back and walk around the corner, faking a blush.
"Speaking of, mind if we get some privacy cap?"
>The stallon angrily glares at you, throwing a fork.
>"Ass!"
>The mare laughs and gets up, moving to some drawers in the mess you are in.
>"Come on Spice, don't tease him because he wants to make Snow purr."
>The mare's horn flashes brightly as she looks at you, an odd feeling coming over your body.
>A green light flashes as your disguise drops, the stallion starring at you with a shocked expression.
>A coupple dozen knifes float in front of you, all pointed at you as the mare smiles at you.
>"So close there buggy! But the guns are a dead giveaway. I know my crew and their weapons in and out, nothing like that is aboard this ship."
>She gives her neck a crack, one of the knifes floating against your nose.
>"My crew better be alive, i love them all quite dearly."
 
>You knock the knife away, moving to the table.
>The stallion backs away and pulls out a pistol, pointing it at you as you sit down.
>"Brave aren't we?" The mare says as she sits across from you.
"You should quit with the posturing if you really love your crew, they are alive at the moment."
>"Good to hear, it's nice we can possibly be civil about this."
>The mare levitates a cup in front of you as she keeps the knifes pointed at you, the cup full of coffee.
>She also places two cream containers in front of you, some sugar packages too.
>"One's a cream liqueur. Care to tell me why you are here?"
"A job, it gives fellow mercenaries a bad name when you break a contract and take the money."
>The mare nods, geting herself some coffee.
>"True. But a client shouldn't be so fussy when the group he hires can't handle the situation, and the captain makes the decision to flee in hopes of protecting her crew. The unforeseen circumstance that was eight well armed ponies warranted my decision, I'm sure your captain would respect that decision to some degree, unless you are the captain."
>She sips her coffee, looking at you.
>"Do i feel bad about abandoning the mission? Yes. But i'd rather be the mare that ran and protected her crew then the mare that threw her crew into certain death."
 
>You pluck a knife from the air, tapping it against your chitin.
"Failing a job is one thing, taking the money for it is another. Did you not ask about the opposition? Why not take the pony you were to protect and run?"
>"An advanced payment is an advanced payment, the client made an investment and it went bad. Not like we stole all the money he was to give us, we only got 2000 in advanced payment of the 6000 that the job would have paid. And yes i asked, but we were expecting your common fighters, not eight specialized ponies with shields, armor, and that i was unable to prevent from using magic. It's hard to do your job when you are pinned doen and being shot at at from all angles."
>She sighs, looking at you.
>"So, why are you so confident may i ask?"
"Because your crew is captured and could be killed at a moments notice if the ponies outside hear a gunshot."
>You look to the stallion, seeing him lower the pistol a little.
"Not to mention the engines are loaded with explosives, and you have a changeling in the room who is armed quite well. What kind of mare do you want to be in this situation?"
>The mare pauses drinking her coffee again.
>"Possibly the one who surrenders if her crew can be left alone..."
>"Cerb..."
>"Hush. You tell me though, am i really so in the wrong for what i did?"
 
"Universe isn't always black and white, is it wrong for the client to want revenge? i'd say not."
>The mare nods in silence.
"Who were you asigned to protect?"
>"Not sure on the exact details, just that is was a stallion who was important for some buisness. Wore a suit, so maybe the client is pissed about him dieing and not being able to make more money. I don't think the client knew about the force we ended up against, not that he will care, the fact that we failed and ran is all he sees."
"Id like to talk with your crew about this, i want to confirm your story."
>"She is telling the truth." The stallion says.
>You look at the stallion, seeing him stumble in place a little, lokking at his captain
>"Go on." the mare says
>The stallion leaves and comes back, hooking up a tiny box to a data pad.
>He hold it up, a recording playing.
>"Cerb! we can't win against this!"
>The rifle camera shows the end of a rifle being fired at a group of ponies, a unicorn with a maigic shield blocking the shots.
>"Behind!"
>"Fuck!"
>More gufire.
>"Everypony run! This mission is a guarantee failure."
>The feed stops there, the stallion setting the data pad down.
>"So, about my crew."
"I can see if the client is alright with only the captian while the rest of the crew disappeared, but that means your surrender right now."
>"I want to see my crew first, if they are fine, you will have my full surrender and cooperation. i won't resist and won't cause troubble, i'd prefer not to be cuffed."
 
>You nod, radioing your crew.
"Everypony bring the captured crew to the entrance."
>The mare gets up, still keping the knives pointed at you.
"Might wana bring the data pad with you, along with the video."
>The two of you go to the entrance, your crew there with the captured crew.
>"Vex!" Angel shouts.
>Your crew points all their weapons at the captain.
"Stand down!"
>You all move to the unconscious crew, The mare checking them over.
>Though the griffon is beaten badly, they are all alive, the mare nodding.
>She sighs and stops her magic, the knives dropping to the ground.
>"I surrender."
>"Cerb!"
>The mare turns to the pegasus, smiling.
>"You be good now Silver. Do me a favour and make your new captain purr."
>She magically throws him a keycard, ears dropping as she bows her head with a smile.
>"Like i said, i won't resist. May as well ask too, do i get a last request?"
 
"Let me hear what it is and i will decide."
>"An hour with a data pad that has a network connection, half of that hour i would like to be completely alone."
>The mare shrugs.
>"I get that the last part is ovbiously a concern for you, but hopefully my cooperation provides some level of trust. If anything i could pass on the alone time and just drink a little."
"I'll decide when we get back."
>The mare nods, walking out of her ship.
>"Cerb!"
>She keeps walking as the pegasus calls for her, a smile on her face.
>"Leave these ponies be. That is the last order i give Silver!"
>Your crew packs up and grabs the unused explosives, heading back to the ship.
>The mare whistles at your ship, nodding.
>"Nice ship, i can see i was beat pretty good."
 
"I try to be as prepared as i can, it's all thatks to my crew though."
>"I figured you were the captain."
>You nod and lead her aboard the ship, turning to her.
"You are free to have your hour and are welcome to food and water."
>The mare nods, still keeping up her smile.
>"May as well enjoy a meal. I'll wait here untill you arrange a private room."
>She sits down next to the water tanks, looking up at you.
>"And excuse me, before i forget."
>Her horn flashes like earlier, the odd sensation from earlier going away.
>Your crew points their weapons at her as she smiles up at you.
>"Sorry for the startle, but i figure you would want your magic back. Place a guard if you want, i'll keep my word regardless and cause no troubble."
 
"You can use one of the empy rooms and a laptop we have."
>"A data pad is just fine, i'll use this one if i can get a connection."
>You nod and turn to Sky.
"Guard her, grab her some food, water, and take her to an empty room."
>"Will do."
>Sky leads the mare away and you get a data pad yourself, sending a mesage to the employer about the captured captain.
>You receive a message back, giving you a meeting location on Trident and being asked to bring the captain.
>"That went well." Chaos says.
>"Yea, that griffon was pretty good though." Angel says
>"Don't tell me Hunter is making you go all soft!"
>"I'll proove I'm not choir colt, we can spar after this is all done, i need to work the adrenaline off. What are we doing now Vex?"
 
"Get us to Trident Angel, we have a job to finish."
>"Right away."
"Also, Chaos, remind me to get some plantable explosives after this."
>"Sure thing Vex."
>You head to the bidge, leaving your equipment on.
>As Angel pilots away, Fixer enters the bridge with a smile.
>"Don't stop and say hello guys. jeez. How did the job go?"
"It's still going, we have the captain aboard the ship. How is Hunter?"
>Fixer laughs, smiling.
>"Little guy fell asleep playing pony blaster. I brought him to your room and finished Sid, i'll test him tomorrow on something small when i can."
 
"Thanks a lot for taking care of Hunter Fixer, seriously. How is Sid now that you had a look at him? What are his limits and how well programed is he?"
>Fixer smiles, sitting next to you.
>"He is built to last, i can tell you that. His programming is intricate and tight from what i can see."
"What about his limits? What can he do?"
>"Anything really. You assign him the ship controls, and he will pilot the ship as best as he can. Give him a garden, and he will try and grow perfect fruits. He will collect data and do his task to perfection. His limits are what you allow him to do."
"Will we have a repeat incident like the one that made him destroy other ships?"
>"Nah, i fixed that. The programmers must have always thought that Sid would be the puppy that waits for his food bowl to be set down, not the one that figures out there is food in the bag and tear the bag open to get food when he wants."
>Fixer shrugs.
>"So, if the test goes well, we can look forward to three things at minimum. Better energy management, an autopilot, and perfect golden toast."
 
"Cant wait for it to be all ready Fixer, i look forward to the toast."
>"Here's hoping it works."
"By the way, Chaos and Angel are doing some exercise later, wana watch and provide refreshments? Bet it would be fun."
>"Exercise?"
>"Me and Chaos like to brawl sometimes, keeps us in shape and skilled. Though we will need to impress if our mares are watching."
>Fixer shrugs and nods.
>"Sure, why not?"
"Good, i'm going to check on our prisioner, how far are we Angel?"
>"Not far, we will land soon."
>You nod and take off, finding Sky guarding the door to the room.
"How is our guest? She still in there?"
>"Yes, and she's glued to the data pad. I'v checked on her a few times, i think she is sincere about behaving."
>Sky opens the door and you walk in, seeing the mare.
>She looks up at you with dropping ears, giving a soft smile, before returning to the data pad.
 
"It's almost time, how was your hour?"
>The mare laughs quietly, setting the data pad down.
>"Wonderfull, considering my life is on the line and likely to end. I came to a nice realization, a comforting one, something to make me smile as i go."
"I am going to try and get the employer to see reason, see if we can't work out a deal. Don't assume you are dead just yet."
>The mare shakes her head.
>"No, i was a dead mare the moment you set hoof on that station. Though you are welcome to try, and i thank you for sparing my crew. one more reason to smile."
>The mare stands up, stretching her body.
>"Don't feel bad if you do, i can think of three reasons why you shouldn't."
>There are some hoofsteps behing you, Angel walking in as you turn.
>"We are here Vex."
 
"There are always reasons that i shouldn't feel bad, The reasons why i should are more concerning."
>The mare nods at you, grabbing the data pad of hers.
"Let's go."
>You leave the ship with the mare, getting Chaos and Sky to come with you, both fully equipped.
>You follow the directions to a large alley, the mare looking with wide eyes as you all go down it.
>Three ponies step out, two armoured and one that is well dressed.
>They approach you, the well dressed earth pony nodding.
>"Ah, i know that face, good to see a mercenary that can actually get the job done. Also, sorry for the security, but..."
>Three more armoured ponies approach from behind, one of them a unicorn.
>The unicorn blasts the captain with magic, a fearful look falling on her face.
>"Damn."
>"I'm not taking chances. No magic for you."
>The stallion looks at you.
>"Suprised that she isn't shackled, what happened to her crew?"
 
"Ran scared as soon as she was knocked out and went underground. Kinda sad really, loyalty is pretty much dead these days."
>The stallion nods, looking at the mare.
>"Fitting. All things considered. Wish i hired you first."
"I was curious about that actually, mind satisfying my interest? I want to know the details of her job."
>"All you need to know is that she was to protect a business associate of mine, and i am quite furious at her failure. Letting him die was one thing and hardly sits well, but to find out that the team you hired didn't give their all and ran? Not something i can let go. Apparently she couldn't "Handle any situation". "
"That the reason for these much more prepared gentlecolts?"
>"Yes. I saw that my trust in a common mercenary group was misplaced and went for a more offical group. Though you are giving me second thoughts about how trustworthy they are."
"Why the security for one meeting?"
>"No, they are staying for awhile. I saw the possible need for my own safety and purchased a longterm contract. Now..."
>He tosses some credits at you, the full pay for the job.
>"I have some buisness to discuss with our unicorn friend. Your work here is done."
 
"Could you wait for a moment? i want you to see something important."
>"What is it?"
>You grab the data pad and show the stallion the video, watching his blank reaction as he watches it.
"The odds were hardly in their favour. As you can see, death was certain for them. Whoever wanted your associate dead had the means to buy a much better and deadlier force."
>The stallion stares at the data pad.
"Though my crew could have beaten them, the odds for our success would have been slim. i would have made the same call as her in that situation."
>The stallion sighs, nodding.
>"Interesting, but either of you could have counter attacked after falling back. Not to mention, how can either of us truly know if this is legitimate?"
>The stallion looks at you.
>"It's obvious you want to save her, and i still want her dead. I don't care to waste any more time or money, so i'll give you a quick choice. The money or the mare. Either i get some of my investments back, or i get what i hired you for."
 
"Recordings don't lie. Also a counter attack would only be possible on certain ground, tactically speaking."
>The stallion rolls his eyes.
"So, how much for the mare? She took 2000, so how about that? or 3000?"
>The stallion shakes his head.
>"Half of my total investments is what i want. So 4000."
>You can see the mare glance toward you, some hope in her eyes.
 
>You tap your hoof against the ground, looking annoyed by the number.
"Deal."
>You give him the credits and all quickly part ways, the mare looking paticulary relieved as you all walk back.
>"Thank you. I honestly can't believe that you did that."
"You owe me huge, i hope you know that."
>The mare nods.
>"I know, and I will deliver for whatever you need. Let me start right now, i'll save you a journey. Either give me a bed for the night or let me find my own way, ill give you my contact if you need anything."
 
"You can stay. though if your crew is like mine, they are after you right now."
>The mare shakes her head.
>"They would come, but not if i ordered them not to. They love me as much as i love them, but they will listen when i ordered them to leave you alone. Besides, a simple call will put them at ease."
>"Yep, that wouldn't work on us. espically not Angel. We would all charge in to get her at any cost." Chaos says.
>"Gotta agree, any of us would take on a minotaur for Vex." Sky says.
>The mare giggles, smiling.
>"Guess I'm not the only one married to her crew."
>You all get back to your ship, Angel moving a box as Fixer sits.
>"She's still here? Everything alright?" Angel says with surprise as he sees you all.
"Struck a deal to save her life. She will go in the morning."
>Angel smiles at you, nodding.
>"I'll just go back to the same room. we hopefully are past that point, but you can send the griffon to watch over me again if you feel the need to." The mare says.
 
"How you feeling Sky? Do you mind?"
>"Not at all, i'll get to it."
"Thanks."
>You pull Sky aside as he begins to walk away and whisper, the mare getting ahead.
"Just for a little bit, you can go when you feel the need to."
>"Got it."
>Sky catches up following the unicorn mare.
>"Well, if that's that, i'll be back after i drop the armor." Chaos says
 
"You guys about to wrestle?"
>"Yep! got the gear and everything." Angel says.
"I'm going to check on Hunter and be right back."
>"We will be waiting!"
>"I'll get some drinks for you guys." Fixer says.
>You head up to your quarters, opening the door and seeing Hunter on the bed with his manticore.
>His head snaps to you and he carefully hops down from the bed, bounding over to you and hugging your leg.
>'Mommy! I was scared and missed you! i need some energy from you please.'
 
>You pick Hunter up in a hug, giving him a kiss on his cheek.
"There is no reason to be scared Hunter, mommy will always come back. And i missed you too!"
>You feed energy to Hunter, smiling at him.
"Grab your crayons, see if you can draw mommy something."
>'Okay.'
>You help Hunter get some materials ready and head back to the cargo bay with him, finding Cobalt there as well.
>"There she is, Hunter watching too?" Angel asks.
"If he wants to, i was just going to have him draw a little."
>Cobalt smiles, walking to Hunter.
>"Awe, can i draw with you Hunter?"
>The little changeling nods and you set a stack of papers down next to him and Cobalt.
>"Have a seat Cap!" Fixer says, moving over on a supply crate.
>You move over to her and sit, looking at the brothers.
>Both of them are equipted with saftey gear, both looking eager.
>"Alright, so there is no interruptions. Rules are the usual no blood, no cheep shots, and tap out if you give up. That sound good?" Chaos asks.
 
"How long are you guys going for? One round? Best of three?"
>"We go untill one of us gives or we both tire out, standard sparing for us." Chaos says.
>"Yep. So since we are good with the rules le-"
>Angel is cut shot as Chaos tackles him, knocking him to the ground.
>Angel slides for a bit before getting up, huffing at Chaos.
>"You are going to get it choir colt."
>"Come on then, show me that you haven't gone soft you sissy!" Chaos shouts with a smile.
>Angel charges at Chaos and Chaos charges at Angel, Chaos diving and sliding as they get close.
>Chaos gets under Angel and kicks up into his chest, launching Angel into the air a little.
>Angel rolls as he hits the ground, using the motion to get to his hooves and charge at Chaos while he is down.
>Angel then drops onto Chaos, the two brothers exchanging hits as they each struggle to gain the advantage.
>Angel gets Chaos onto his belly, quickly pinning him at his shoulder and pulling his foreleg back.
>Chaos shouts as Angel grins at him.
>"Gone soft have i? I don't think so! Come on Chaos, i wana hear you say it!"
>"Fine! Fine!"
>Angel lets off of his pulling, looking at Chaos with suspicion.
>Chaos pants, getting a grin on his face.
>"Angel... Flight... Wants Vex to be a stallion so he can swallow!"
>Chaos shouts as Angel begins to pull his leg back again.
>Chaos twists and manages to get his free hoof to connect with Angel's chest, the struggle for the advantage resuming.
>You feel an odd happiness from the brothers as they fight, carching grins here and there.
>"Wow..."
>You look at Fixer, seeing her obvious interest in the fight.
>"Personal prefrence aside, who do you think will win?"
 
"It's hard to say, i never have seen them fight before."
>Chaos gets Angel on his back, landing hits into his chest until Angel swings his head into Chaos's chest and knocks him off.
"Angel seems to have more technique, but Chaos seems harder to take down."
>"Yeh. I gotta say though, they certainly are providing a good example of a stallion's physical strength."
>You grin at Fixer, seeing a small blush on her face.
"Yes, i do believe we are the real winners here."
>The brothers keep at it, neither of them letting up for a second as they exchange blows and throw each other.
>At one point, Chaos launches Angel again like he did earlier, Angel crashing into the ground.
>Angel gets up and turns to Chaos, both of them soaked with sweat and panting.
>They charge again, neither of them stoping or sliding as their hooves collide.
>For a few moments, the brothers seem to copy each others actions, mirroring each swing of the other in perfect timing.
>They each take a hit to the chest again and stumble back, Chaos falling to his rear.
>Angel hangs his head as he pants, Chaos laughing as he does the same.
>"Guess you ain't... a soft sissy colt yet."
>Angel looks up with a smile, a drop of sweat coming off of his chin.
>"Only because... somepony has to keep you in shape."
>Chaos laughs again and throws his head back, sighing.
>"Draw?"
>"Maybe."
 
"You two could keep sparing, but how does a nice meal sound right about now?"
>"Sounds wonderfull." Angel says with a smile.
>"Yea, we can settle it later."
>You all head to the mess, giving Hunter help with carrying the incomplete drawings as you walk.
>You set the things down when you get there, Hunter immediately going back to drawing with Cobalt.
>Fixer and Chaos sit down with meal packages while you get food for your family, setting it down as Angel chugs some water.
>"Like the fight?" Chaos asks, looking at Fixer with a smile.
>"Oh yes, i can see just how much of a strong stallion you are."
>She gives him a nuzzle, blushing as she pulls back and wipes her face a little.
>"Wow, you are soaked."
>Angel laughs as he sits down between you and Fixer, Looking at his own wet coat after sliding a glass of water to Chaos.
>"Yep, really going to need to shower after that."
>'Mommy.'
>Hunter holds up a drawing of a ship, smiling at you.
 
>You look closely at the drawing for a little bit, seeing the cartoonish red ship with white stripes.
>You smile and give Hunter a nuzzle, looking at him.
"That's good Hunter! Looks like we have an artist aboard the ship."
>Angel leans over, smiling.
>"Nice!"
>The little changeling smiles brighter, beginning to eat his food.
>You all finish your meals, Angel giving a relaxed sigh after.
>"I'm beat, i don't think i could make it to the room."
>"You could brownnose Vex to carry you with magic." Chaos says.
>He leans over and nuzzles you, getting your cheek damp.
>"Your stallion loves you. He thinks you are very good looking and the best mare ever."
>He laughs, sighing again.
>"i'll just stumble up. Somepony needs to carry the really sleepy one anyways."
>He points to Hunter, Hunter yawning as he draws more.
>"Figures, he probably didn't sleep long with that nap of his." Fixer says.
 
>You nuzzle Angel back, catching some of his sent as you smile at him.
"I think i could handle that heavy load, though maybe you could help Cobalt, want to carry Hunter for me?"
>"Yes!"
>You turn to Chaos with a smile.
"But first, i want to have a quick talk with you about explosives Chaos. Also gives Hunter a moment to finish up. Mind walking with me for a moment?"
>Chaos nods, getting up.
>The two of you walk, You leading Chaos a little towards your quarters.
>"So, what about explosives Vex?"
"Just want you to think about what we should get aboard the ship, what we should stock up on. And another thing..."
>"What is it?"
"Stay here."
>Your run off and grab the collar and leash for Fixer, keeping it in a bag for now.
>When you return, Chaos looks at you curiously.
>"What's that?"
"Something special. I gave our little toy an order, one that i need your help with."
>"Oh?" Chaos says with a smile
"Yes. Fixer is not allowed to pleasure herself in any way. But i want you to wind her up to the point where she nearly breaks tonight. If she is a good girl and listens, she can have this."
>You open the bag and show Chaos what is inside, a big grin oh his face.
>"Oh, that is perfect."
>He takes the bag, grinning at you.
>"So then, should she be left alone until later tonight? or should she be kept wanting until tomorrow? I plan to follow the rule you set for her to the letter. Also, i don't know if she mentioned this, but you and Angel are welcome to her at any time. If it is mission appropriate, and if you both are alright with it that is."
>Chaos gives you a devilish grin, his lust rising.
>"This discovery has changed my feelings about sharing a little here and there. We should all toss Fixer around again, possibly use that same spell you used on those two colts we arrested"
 
"I'd say tonight is enough, but it is your choice. Also i'll remember that. As for the spell, i will be sure to use it. But the first two times must be genuine, i don't want anypony being forced into anything they don't want."
>Chaos drops his expression a little, looking more serious.
>"Of corse. I was going to mention this, Fixer's safe word is "thunderbird". Just incase something goes wrong or if we get too rough, I'm sure none of us want to cause real damage to anypony. So just tell Angel if or when you both discuss it."
"Thanks, i will."
>You both head back, Chaos hiding the bag in Fixer's room.
>You all go your seprate ways, Cobalt carrying Hunter as you levitate Angel to your room.
>Angel gives you a peck when you set him down, nuzzleing you all over.
>"So cute." Cobalt says.
>You turn and see Hunter asleep on her back, the little changeling curled up in his sweater.
>"Awww."
 
>You nuzzle Angel back, smiling at Cobalt after.
"He is a little cutie."
>You gently pick Hunter up with magic and set him on your bed, tucking him in.
>Cobalt just smiles at the baby changeling, looking happy at the sight.
"Thank you Cobalt, you were a big help."
>Cobalt nuzzles you and Angel, Giving you both a hug.
>"Just want to be the best aunt i can be."
>She loooks back at Hunter when she lets go, giggleing quietly.
>"Lucky, he grts to be all warm from you two. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Cobalt."
>"Night Cobalt."
>When Cobalt leaves, Angel gives you a kiss, smiling at you.
>"Care to join me for a shower?"
 
>You grin at Angel.
"Of corse, you need 'help' with those hard to reach places don't you?"
>"Maybe... I'll be sure to help you with yours."
"Deal."
>You and Angel jump into the shower, taking a long time as you help each other get clean, Angel making sure that your hindquarters are extra clean.
>When the both of you finish teasing each other and are actually clean, you both crawl into bed, Angel nuzzling you as you fall asleep.
>When you awake, You see Hunter gone frome the bed and don't feel Angel against you, a small clattering getting your attention.
>You see Hunter and Angel with their backs turned to you, the two of them building with the building kit.
 
>You slowly get up and move to the edge of the bed, looking over at the two of them.
"Good morning."
>They both turn to you, Angel smiling and Hunter looking surprised.
>"Good morning pretty mare."
>'Morning mommy!'
"What are we building this early?"
>"A house. Somepony was awake and wirkhg away when I opened my eyes."
>Hunter gives a yawn as he looks at the unfinished house, his body looking slightly darker.
>'I wana finish this with daddy, this is really fun.'
 
"Keep working at it then! i wana see it finished. Would you like more kits Hunter?"
>The little changeling smiles and nods eagerly at you.
>'Yes please.'
>Angel laughs, smiling at Hunter.
>"Artist and a builder? Maybe we have an architect on our hooves."
>You watch them build more before you set the build aside, heading down for breakfast.
>You all enter the mess and find Chaos, Cobalt, and Charon.
>"At least you had a good tine getting yours." Chaos says to Cobalt.
>"I know, i was so happy to get it. Good morning everypony!"
"Morning Cobalt, what are you guys discussing?"
>You sit down with Hunter as Angel gets food for all of you, Hunter looking at your necklace a little.
>"Cutiemarks, trading stories and such." Chaos says.
>"It must be fun doing all kinds of things to discover your speical talents." Charon says.
 
"You didn't have a good time getting yours Chaos?"
>Chaos shakes his head.
>"Kinda, I was super happy when i saw i got it. But I got belted for what i did to get it."
>"Belted?" Charon repeats, a suprised look on her face.
"What happened?"
>Chaos sighs.
>"I was bored, i was dumb, i was 12. Angel had his for a year already and i was wanting to try anything to get mine. So, while i built a popsicle stick house as Angel and i watched "Cool Jobs" on TV, my brain made the greatest connection ever! Firecrackers look like dynamite! Maybe i could make the popsicle stick house collapse on itself! Just like the workers did in the show! I will be sure to get my cutiemark!"
>Chaos sighs again and shakes his head more
>"He set the living room on fire, almost burning down the house." Angel says, setting down with the food for you and Hunter.
>Chaos smiles a little, looking off into the distance.
>"Then, when Angel was trying to make me feel better, Pa came to our room with such a guilty look on his face. He was apologizing and telling me that he still loved me that he saw that i got my cutiemark."
>Chaos laughs, looking at the table.
>"The icecream we got and joy from the cutiemark i finally had made me forget all about the pain. It kinda sucked for the punishment, but it was still a good day."
 
"At least the story had a happy ending. Also dumb is right, did you not think to go outside?"
>"Don't remember, but i'll say no, i propably didn't."
>"Is your story any better Angel?" Cobalt asks.
>"Yes, not as big though. Pa let us pilot the same way i let Hunter pilot all the time. One time i was able to keep the ship so steady that he fell asleep."
>Angel turns to you with a smile.
>"But don't worry, i don't plan to do the same as him. What about you Cobalt? since we are all sharing."
>"I got mine from playing hide and seek at the orphanage, i was the best at it." She says with a smile.
>Some steps sound and Sky walks into the mess, setting a letter and credits down on the table.
>"Our Guest has apparently shown herself out."
 
"Really?"
>"Yep, I went to check and she was gone."
>"Well, if she left credits, guess we are on good terms." Cobalt says.
"We will see about that."
>You open the letter, reading it to yourself.
>Hey Buggy, or should i call you Vex? I may be long gone by the time you read this, but don't worry, i know i owe you a little. Here is some money, a nice start to show that there is no bad blood between us. Though we will need to see if my crew won't try to kill yours, Snow is pissed at a stallion, Silver more so. Here's my number so we can talk and get equal. Who knows? Maybe the past could stay in the past and we could go drinking. -Cerb. P.S. Tell the griffon to give me a call, he looks like a cuddling type.
>You look at the money on the table, seeing that there is 1000 credits.
 
>"Well Vex?" Angel says.
"Her crew is angry, but they should get over it. Looks like we have a new friend, she intends to keep her word."
>"Really? That's good." Chaos says.
>You smile, giving the letter to Sky.
"Also, Looks like you caught an eye Sky."
>Sky looks at the letter, Angel peaking at it.
>Sky's eyes widen slightly, a confused expresson on his face.
>"She does know i had a gun pointed at her right?"
>"What? What does it say?" Chaos asks.
>"She wants Sky to call her." Angel says with a smile.
>"Do it Sky."
>"What?"
>"Call her! See if you two can go on a date sometime. You wouldn't be dating the enemy right Vex? Do it!"
 
"You dont need to do it now, but go for it if you want to Sky, she looked cute."
>"Come on Sky, think about it!" Chaos says. "Sexy unicorn mare... mint mane and tail..."
>Sky shakes his head, rolling his eyes with a smile.
>"Alright, alright, i will. I'll try when i know i have time and don't have work."
>"So, do it now! None of us are on the clock yet, some are probably still asleep, you got time." Chaos says.
>""Yet" being the key word, we will all be working soon enough. And why do you care so much?"
>Chaos shrugs, smiling.
 
"That is true, we do have a job today already."
>"What is it?" Cobalt asks.
"We are helping Hydra again.It may be dangerous, but If we do this, they will let us have a blueprint for a stealth shield."
>"Cool!"
>"I'm sure Fixer will love the work, even if it is shield related." Chaos says.
>"Where is the little terror anyways?" Sky asks.
>"Sleeping."
>"Where is it that we need to be Vex?" Angel asks.
>You grab a data pad and check your mail, seeing Lock Down sent you the time and location.
>You give the data pad to Angel, letting him look at it.
"It's here, we need to be there in a few hours."
>"Well then, just say when you wana go." Angel says with a smile.
 
"How long will it take to get there?
>"An hour? Not long." Angel says.
"Then let's go now when we finish esting and arrive early, we can relax with the time we have."
>"Alright." Angel says, turning to and poking Hunter with a hoof. "But my co-pilot better finish his food so he can help."
>Hunter smiles, diging into his food more.
"Also, I want you to check everything Sky, we need to be ready for a fight. Lock Down has told me that we are very likely to end up in battle."
>Hunter clings to you a little, looking scared.
>"I'll make sure we are ready Vex." Sky says.
 
"Thanks Sky."
>You look down at Hunter hugging him tightly.
"You don't need to worry Hunter, everything will be fine. We are all here and the worst thing that will happen is that the ship will shake again."
>Hunter looks up to you and nods, a worried smile on his face.
>"It will take some getting used to, but don't worry Hunter." Angel says, patting him on the side
>"Yes, no worries with us. Our ship is good and only getting better! Imagine if that AI holds true and actually works." Chaos says.
"Hopefully it will. Let's finish eating and arrive early so we can relax and prepare."
>You all finish up eating and take off, heading towards the destination.
>You all arrive at a large facility, the Hydra logo on the side of it.
>The communications come to life, a mare's voice coming through.
>"Welcome Artemis, you are nice and early, your docking bay is bay 32. Please dock and await for your shipment."
"Understood, thank you."
>You all dock at the station, seeing few other ships there, only two of them not having the same Hydra logo.
>"Well then, I'll get to that full systems check for you Vex. Find me if you need me." Sky says.
 
"Thanks Sky."
>You look down at Hunter hugging him tightly.
"You don't need to worry Hunter, everything will be fine. We are all here and the worst thing that will happen is that the ship will shake again."
>Hunter looks up to you and nods, a worried smile on his face.
>"It will take some getting used to, but don't worry Hunter." Angel says, patting him on the side
>"Yes, no worries with us. Our ship is good and only getting better! Imagine if that AI holds true and actually works." Chaos says.
"Hopefully it will. Let's finish eating and arrive early so we can relax and prepare."
>You all finish up eating and take off, heading towards the destination.
>You all arrive at a large facility, the Hydra logo on the side of it.
>The communications come to life, a mare's voice coming through.
>"Welcome Artemis, you are nice and early, your docking bay is bay 32. Please dock and await for your shipment."
"Understood, thank you."
>You all dock at the station, seeing few other ships there, only two of them not having the same Hydra logo.
>"Well then, I'll get to that full systems check for you Vex. Find me if you need me." Sky says.
 
>You nuzzle him back, wraping your hooves around his head.
"I think this could be my new captian's chair."
>"By all means, it certinaly would make late night deliveries much better if i had you here, it gets lonely."
>He pulls his head back, smiling at you.
>"Gives me a chance to do this too."
>Angel pushes his muzzle into your neck, kissing your neck and giving a tiny bite.
>You gasp and giggle at the attention, Hunter and Cobalt returning as the two of you stay close.
>They set the drawing stuff down, Cobalt glancing at you and Angel, a smile on her slightly scrunched face.
>"Somepony's jealous..." Angel whispers in a teasing tone.
>Cobalt's face scrunches more as she blushes, turning to the both of you and sticking out her tongue, a grin on her face after.
>Angel laughs softly, nuzzling you more.
>"So, we stay like this untill it's time?"
 
"Yes, until it is time."
>You turn to Cobalt, whispering to Angel as you give her a suggestive look.
"What position is she jellous of though?"
>Cobalt blushes more and turns away, grinning.
>"Don't know, Bet she just wants to be on top of one of us. Or under."
>You can see Cobalt biting her lip, some lust coming from her.
"Poor Cobalt, I think i need to give her some much needed attention at some point."
>You turn to Angel, smiling.
"But that is after your fun with me, my stallion needs his special session. After that though, care to help with Cobalt?"
>Angel grins, nodding.
>"I bet you have an idea for the three of us. But yes, we can't let our poor mare go unnoticed."
>You feel his hoof give your flank a squeeze, lust coming from Angel."
>"Just know that because you did put my session aside, I'm going to make extra use of both your holes and make sure you are very sore when you wake up. Just need to decide how much i should use from our bag of goodies."
 
>You give him a grin, whispering still.
"Angel please! We need to work soon and i may need to see the other captains, don't tease me like that."
>You move your hips in his lap, grinding against Angel as you both grin at each other.
>"Naughty mare, look who is talking, stallions show much easier then mares. But i have your attention? You excited?"
"Yes."
>Angel moves to your neck again, giving a slow lick before exhaling heavily, the tickling from his breath making you shiver.
>"Good."
>You and Angel keep close for the next hour, watching Hunter and a very flustered Cobalt draw.
>Eventually, the communications come to life again, calling you from your ship.
>You head out to the station and to the meeting point at the docks, seeing a few other non-Hydra ships docked.
>You head to the group gathered by several crates, seeing ponies, griffons and a minotaur there.
>One pony in a pocketed jacket speaks up, the Hydra logo on it's shoulder.
>"Alright everypony, listen up! We all have a basic idea of why we are here and what we are doing, but we will go over the objective again anyways. You are to follow your assigned route and drop your product off at the destination. Nothing else. No opening the crates, no deviation from a route, and no selling the crates. Each of you is likely to come under attack from those who would want the product back, so be prepared for anything and everyting. Unless there are any questions, please wait by your ship for your flight information and crate."
 
>You take off back to your ship, most of the other captains doing the same.
>You wait by your ship, a loader coming along with two ponies,
>One of them moves to you, giving you a data stick.
>"Here is your flight route. Good luck.
"Thank you."
>The loader brings a crate aboard, setting down the reinforced container.
>As the loader and ponies take off, Sky approaches you, smiling.
>"Everything checks out Vex, we are ready."
"Good, thanks for the check Sky."
>"No problem."
>He looks over at the crate, seeing the warning signs on the side of it.
>"Low radiation? What are we doing exactly?"
 
"We are to deliver this package to the intended destination by a preset route. We are not to open it, and are not to deviate frim the corse even if attacked. Simple really."
>Sky gives you a suspicious look, shrugging.
>"Private military that had us raid a mine and participate in a large scale battle wants us to deliver a box? Sorry Vex, but i don't quite buy simple. Especially since it is one box that has a radiation warning on it."
"You have concerns?"
>"Only as to what it is we are shipping. But i trust you and i won't ask. Looking at the label, I probably would be safe with using it as a bed."
"Alright. Let's get going then, the sooner this is over, the better."
>You and Sky head to the bridge, seeing the entire crew there when you arrive.
>"Mooornin cap." Fixer says with a smile.
"Morning Fixer, here Angel."
>You give Angel the data stick, letting hin set up the route.
>"Oh wow, they have us flying all over the place." He says.
"How long is it?"
>"Two hour ride made into four, nothing too crazy."
"Good, let's get going then."
>You see Hunter move to Angel, smiling as he presses on his leg.
>Angel looks down and sighs, patting Hunter on the head.
>"Sorry kiddo, not this time, daddy needs to do this. Go to mommy this time."
>Hunter frowns slightly before nodding, looking at you.
>'Could i grab a toy?'
 
"Yes, come on, let's each grab one."
>You and Hunter head to your quarters, Hunter grabbing his manticore, and you grabbing the fox Angel won.
>You head back and sit in your chair, quietly playing with Hunter once you help him up.
>Your crew idly chats as you two play, keepijg to their jobs.
>Time passes slowly as you all go through the flight, Chaos speaking up at some point.
>"We have company."
>You lookup from Hunter and over to Chaos, seeing him and Fixer at the sensors.
"How many?"
>"Five, most of them fairly big, one is hanging back though."
>"Woah!" Angel shouts.
>You look forward and see a red beam hit the shields for a second, Angel stearing the ship away from it.
>"Long range fire!"
 
>You pull Hunter close, sitting upright in your chair.
"Avoid what you can Angel. Can we hit them with the lasers?"
>"Almost! The one that is shooting at us is the one that is further away, we can't hit them."
"Fine, hit what we can when we are in range."
>"Right away!" Angel says.
>The ships close the distance and Angel fires the laser, hitting one of the ships and being stoped by it's shields.
>Angel keeps on the ship as it tries to steer clear, the enemy ships shields flickering and holding when the lasers stop.
"They are almost in range for all weapons." Sky says.
 
"Take the one we are firing at out first, then we can try pushing past them and seeing if they can keep up."
>"On it."
>Your ship keeps moving foward, firing the laser again at the targeted enemy ship.
>This time the laser gets through the shields and starts cutting through the armor, leaving a huge gap in the enemy ship's hull as it tries evading.
>"Nice and vulnerable."
>Green beams fly from your ship and they hit the armor gaps of the enemy ship, causing it to explode.
>"Four more!"
>Again, a red laser fires, hitting your shield as the other ships open fire.
>Some of the shots miss, or are partially evaded by Angel as he pilots the ship, the distance between you and the enemy ships becoming less and less.
>You speed past the enemy ships as they fire again, taking neumerous hits.
>"Shields are at 65% Vex!" Sky says.
>"The enemy ships are turning around to come after us!"
 
"Go for the long range one, we can either run of fight once it is done."
>Your ship heads towards the ship in the distance, the other three turning around still.
>The ship gets off another shot as your ship fires the laser, both shots connecting.
>Angel steers the ship away from enemy fire again, getting closer to the enemy ship.
"Fire all weapons!"
>The lasers and beam cannons all fire at once, the lights and purple coloured lasers dimming slightly.
>The shots connect and get through the shield of the enemy ship, damaging it badly.
>"Shields are at 50%!" Sky says.
>"The enemy ships are gaining on us Vex!" Chaos shouts.
 
"Destroy the long range ship, and then we can fight the others. Sky, what's with the lasers and lights?"
>"The power issue i mentioned, we are using too much at once, it's effecting the strength of the lasers and drawing power from other systems."
>Fixer groans, looking guilty.
>"Why couldn't i get Sid programed faster?"
>"We just need to squence our shots better for now, we should be fine." Sky says.
"Then let's finish them off."
>After a moment, your ship fires it's beam cannons again, destroying the damaged ship.
>The resulting explosion shakes your ship a little, Hunter hugging you tightly.
>Angel turns the ship around, facing the other enemy ships.
>"Three more, what's the game plan Vex?"
 
"How close together are they? Can we line them up and catch them in an explosion?"
>"Two are close enough, we can try and get them closer if we get at an angle."
"Do it."
>Angel flys the ship to the side, making the two ships change corse to follow you, one of them slowing down so the other can manuver around it.
>The two ships are very close as Angel lines the ship up with them, firing the laser at the one on the left as they shoot at you.
>Once the laser stops, the beam cannons follow and get through the shield, The laser firing again when the cannons stop.
>The ship to the right fires as you hit the one on the left, hitting your shields more as you deal damage.
>The left ship explodes, large parts of it hitting the ship next to it as it continues forward.
>"Two left!"
>Your shields light up again, receiving hits.
>"Shields are at 30%!"
>"The other ship has us flanked!" Chaos says.
 
"Can they ram us?"
>"No, they are at a distance."
"Then let's finish off the ship in front of us, then attack them."
>"You got it Vex."
>Angel fires the lasers at the damaged ship, quickly cutting and destroying it.
>Your ship recieves more fire as it turns around, facing the final ship.
>"Shields are at 23% and holding."
"Finish them off."
>You exchange fire with the ship, lasers and beams hitting both sides.
>Once you break through the shields, the ship quickly succumbs to the damage you deal to it, exploding.
>"All ships destroyed, nothing on the scanners." Chaos says.
>Hunter raises his head and looks around, looking outside into the empty space.
 
"Let's get back on corse and be done with this delivery."
>You turn Hunter towards you and give him a breif hug, smiling when you pull away.
"See? Just some shaking. That wasn't so bad right?"
>Hunter shakes his head, smiling a little.
>'No, it wasn't.'
>You hug him again, giving him a nuzzle.
"You are always safe aboard this ship, everypony is here for each other."
>"She is right Hunter, not one of us will let something bad happen. If your mom or dad ain't there, you can bet that uncle Chaos will be." Chaos says with a smile.
>"Or aunt Cobalt!" Cobalt says
>The little changeling smiles more and nods, looking much more comfortable.
>You and Hunter continue playing as the journey goes on, time still passing at the same rate.
>You all arrive at the destination, docking at the larger Hydra station.
>You head down to the cargo after giving Hunter to Angel, opening the doors and letting some ponies in.
>One of the ponies approaches you, holding a data pad.
>"Captain Vex?"
"Yes, that is me."
>The mare nods.
>"We will take the cargo from here, thank you. Mister Lock has requested you contact him for your payment at your earliest connivence."
 
"Thanks. It's all yours."
>The mare nods, trotting off to a loader.
>Once the cargo in unloaded, you head to your quarters, sending a message to Lock Down.
>It isn't long before you receve a message back, an attached file with it.
>The message reads: Thank you Miss Vex for your time, hopefully this design will serve you well! Should you be in the area and need a drink, or need any more assistance, feel free to contact me. -Lock Down
>You open the file and see the blueprint, plenty of the mathamatics much too complex for you to understand.
>There is also an attached licence and legal agreement, stating that you can't market or distribute the shield.
 
>You agree to the contract and begin to leave your quarters with a data pad.
>As you leave, you bump into Angel, Hunter on his back.
>Angel smiles as Hunter sleepily blinks, the little changeling looking drained.
>"Somepony needs his nap. He ate and practically fell asleep at the table."
"Aww, thanks Angel. How was he able to tell you that he was hungry?"
>"An eating motion. The kid is super smart."
"Tuck him in then, mind flying us back to Trident?"
>"Sure thing."
>You give them both a kiss and continue on, headding to Fixer's room.
>You find the tiny mare working away, smiling when she sees you.
"Guess what? i have a new toy for you to look at."
>Fixer smiles and looks at the data pad you give her, getting a nervous look on her face.
>"Shields... damn."
"Think you can make two?"
>"I'll need to look at this blueprint more tonight and get an idea of the price. I'll have it by morning. And i promise, promise, promise that Sid will be done! Golden toast and the best coffee you will ever have will be there tomorrow to go with the price."
"Good, I'll look forward to it. i want to see him done."
>"He will be, i swear on my life."
>Fixer glances away and blushes, looking at the closed door for a moment before smiling at you.
>"A-also, thank you. Master Chaos told me where that gift was from. It felt amazing to have it on."
 
>You smile at Fixer, moving close to the tiny pegasus.
>Ske keeps still as you raise a hoof and gently pet her, closing her eyes and giving a happy hum.
>"Mmmm."
"That means you were a good pony and followed my rule."
>She opens her eyes and nods, hopping down and reaching under her bed.
>She pulls out the collar and clips it on, the little heart making a small noise and she moves and gets on her bed.
>Fixer happily looks at you, sitting almost proudly as her tail swishes back and forth, her blush staying
>"I love it."
"Maybe you should whear it out with the others sometimes."
>Fixer blushes more and looks down, smiling but looking nervous.
>"Whear it around the ship? I think the others would catch on quickly as to what it is for..."
>She looks at you smiling still.
>"But if that is an order or rule form my master... i'll do it."
>She hops off the bed, sitting in front of you.
>"I shouldn't make demands. But i want more rules. i want more orders. i... i want...
>She leans against you, her face as red as the collar
>"I want to be a good pet."
 
>You don't move and stare down at Fixer, the tiny mare eventually looking up and seeing your displeasure.
>She backs away and looks down, ears drooping.
"Are you embarrassed by being our pet? My pet?"
>"N-no i-"
"I don't beleive you. Being embarassed about your masters is unacceptable, and you will need to be broken of that."
>Fixer nods, keeping quiet.
"Three rules. One, you must always bend over and lift your tail when i enter the room. You will always present yourself to me, ready to recieve punishment or use. Two, you may never take your collar off, only your masters can. If you take the collar off, or ask for it to be taken off, you will be punished. Three, the most important one."
>You make Fixer look at you, her eyes full of worry.
"If anypony asks about your collar, you will boldly and loudly state what it is for and what it means. What is your collar for?"
>Fixer blushes and closes her eyes slightly.
>"I-it's to show i am a pet! That i am a toy! That i have and belong to my masters!"
>You let go of Fixer, looking down at her as she bows.
>"D-do i need to announce the names of my masters?"
"That remains to be seen. For now, you can start paying for your mistake by cleaning my hooves."
>You move to the bed, sitting on it so your hooves are acessable.
>Fixer moves to where you are, blushing badly as she opens her mouth and licks one of your hooves.
>She moves closer and uses her lips slightly, laping and sucking at your hooves, a slight tickling sensation present as she cleans them.
>Fixer is very through with her job, a blush present on her face the entire time.
>When she is finished, she bows her head again, glanceing up at you.
"Speak."
>She looks up at you with pleeding eyes, her ears drooping.
>"Please let me really make up for my mistake master Vex. Please, anything." She begs.
 
"On the bed."
>Fixer perks up and hops up into the bed, looking at you for direction.
>You push her onto her back, quickly positioning your marehood over her and pressing your entire rear against her face.
"Get to work. Pet."
>A tongue against your marehood indicates that Fixer heard you, the pegasus licking away as best as she can.
>Fixer's tongue eagerly dives into you, moving around and getting every last area she can.
>As she eats away, you look down, seeing Fixer wink as she pleasures you.
>You leave her alone as you press against her face more, grinding against her muzzle as you enjoy the pleasure.
>You let off Fixer's face time to time, letting her breath properly before forcing her muzzle against your marehood.
>You let out a moan after some time, reaching your climax.
>You get off Fixer's face when you settle down, seeing her muzzle and cheaks soaked in your juices.
>She licks at her muzzle, panting.
>"T-thank you mas-"
>You blast Fixer heavily with your lust spell, her face becoming very flushed.
>"Aahhhh!~"
>You hold her forehooves in place with magic as she moves them towards her marehood, Fixers lust at an incredible high.
"You are not allowed to get any form of relief untill you make it up to Chaos and Angel for the insult you gave all of us. You will tell them of your punishment and why. and as an additional rule, you will inform all of us of any new or changed rules. Am i clear?"
>"Yes!" Fixer moans, kicking her hind legs in desperation.
>You let go of her hooves, Fixer showing ovbious struggle as to not relieve herself.
>"Please, can we go to them? A-and what about me announcing my masters names? Do i need to do that?"
 
"Are you not proud of who your masters are?"
>"I love my masters! I just..."
"You don't need to... for now. Come pet, you owe the others an apology."
>Fixer gets up and eagerly follows you, her collar making noise as she walks.
>The two of you get to the bridge, finding both and only the brothers there.
>"Hey you two, what's... Oh." Chaos says with a grin.
>Angel looks suprised as he looks at Fixer, the small pegasus nearly trembleing in place.
"Well?"
>Fixer swallows, taking a shaky breath.
>"I was a bad pet! I was embarassed that i had masters, and am being punished for it. I am not allowed any relief untill i make it up to them for insulting them."
>"Masters?" Angel says.
>Chaos nods smiling.
>"Guess Vex hasen't told you yet, Fixer is our personal pet and toy. You are allowed to go at her at any time."
>"Wait really?"
>"Yep. Use her as you please."
"What else are you to say?"
>Fixer recites her rules, biting her lip as she steps in place time to time.
>"Why do you have that collar?" Chaos asks.
>as Fixer says the same thing she did before, you move to Angel, whispering in his ear.
"Her safe word is thunderbird, so don't worry, she will say if any of us go too far."
>"So, we can use her at any time? No consequences or holding it against each other?"
>"Vex, how bad was she in your oppinion? Is she to be allowed to make it up to us right now?" Chaos asks, pointing to the door control pannel.
 
>You kiss Angel on his muzzle, looking to Chaos.
"She has to make it up to all three of us if she is to have her punishment end and get any relief, so if one of us think she should stew longer, she will. Right pet?"
>Fixer looks uncomfortable and nods, her lust not dropping.
"Although, i am greatly insulted that she would even think to be embarrassed about being our pet, I wouldn't let any slut be my fucktoy."
>"Really now?" Chaos says, looking at Fixer thoughtfully.
>You turn back to Angel, smiling.
"Yes, you can have sex with Fixer when you want to, I am confident in your love for me. Indulging in others will add more ways to spice things up, and It will also make our alone time together very special. Unless you don't want to, then we can easily stop this."
>Angel smiles, shaking his head.
>"Just making sure, this could be fun."
"You better not go all out and hold true to your word though, I was promised I would be sore tomorrow."
>Angel smiles, nodding.
>"Oh you will be."
>You look back at Chaos, seeing him grin.
>"She hurt your marefriend's feelings Angel, what do you think of that?"
>"That i am not only insulted, but angry."
>Chaos gets up and closes the door, locking it.
>"Bad, Bad, slut. You hurt my brother and his marefriend, i think you deserve more than what you are getting now."
>Chaos sits back down, pointing a hoof to his lap.
>Fixer climbs up onto his lap, laying on her belly.
>"Tail up."
>Fixer complies, Chaos placing his hoof on her rear and rubbing it, Fixer wincing.
>"Would you like to have her make it up to you in a moment Angel?"
>"Yes. And she will better listen to what i tell her to do."
>Chaos grins, still rubbing Fixer's cheeks.
>"How hurt are you feeling you two? On a scale of 1-20?
>"I'm feeling a 15, i feel worse for Vex."
 
"17 or 18."
>Chaos nods.
>"So, 33 then."
>You can see Fixer tense up as Chaos raises his hoof, quickly bringing it down for a spank.
>Fixer makes a pained noise and whimpers, Chaos still grinning.
>"That's one. Now tell me, what are you?"
>"A pet."
>Chaos spanks her again, shaking his head
>"Pardon?"
>"A pet! A fucktoy!"
>"Good."
>After another spanking Chaos speaks again.
>"And are you proud to be a fucktoy for your masters?"
>"Yes!"
>"Then why are you here being punished? Let's break this right now. For every spanking you will say: "My name is Fixer and i am a pet, a proud fucktoy for my masters.", am i clear?"
>Fixer nods, Chaos quickly bringking his hoof down on her rear again.
>Fixer yelps a bit and repeats exactly what Chaos said, blushing the entire time.
>After about 29 more times, Chaos gently pats Fixer's rear, looking over to you and Angel.
>"Ready Angel? I'm sure she really wants to make up for her mistake."
>"Yep."
>Chaos lift's Fixer off of him, moving over to Angel.
>The brothers switch spots, Chaos taking the flight controls as Angel moves over to a seat, bekoning Fixer to him.
>He grabs her mane when she is close enough, bringing her head between her legs, her muzzle against his sack.
>"Show me just how sorry you are."
>Fixer begins licking Angel, the mare still full of lust and winking as she laps at Angel.
>Chaos looks back, smiling as he talks quietly to you.
>"There's the good girl we know. Think she needs more rules to keep her in line and remind her of her place?"
 
"I think she needs a new name, her old one is just a reminder of when she ran her life. But what to call her?"
>"Good question, we will need to collaborate on that. Though there is a nice subtle meaning to her having her old name, shows what she can't quite have anymore."
"Possibly. As for rules, yes, she could always use more. But i want you to do me a favour, keep an eye on her alright? Between this pet stuff and the work i give her, i don't want her running herself raged and forgetting to eat and sleep properly."
>Chaos nods, a bit of concern on his face.
>"I know, she slept in an extra three hours today, and she usualy is up before me. When you saw her on the bridge earlier, she just got there after grabbing food and coffee. I'm going to make sure she turns in early tonight, no fun involved."
"Good, that's a huge weight off my mind. I figure you would, but wanted to hear that you would anyways."
>Chaos smiles softly, a tiny bit of red to his face.
>"Yes, i wouldn't let that happen. Pet stuff aside, i don't want my marefriend getting hurt or burnt out."
>A groan from Angel gets your attention, seeing him force Fixer down on his stallionhood a little as she sucks away.
>Chaos chuckles a little, looking at you.
>"Outside of our fun that is. Also, not to be a buzzkill, can we get her a scarf or something to cover that collar? Goddess forbid a foal or the wrong pony sees her, or hears her little announcement of why she has it in public. Mercenary ship? In pirate space? With a pegasus that says she has masters? I think the cops would break the record for busting our doors down on slavery charges."
 
"Yes, i didn't think of that. That is some good foresight Chaos."
>Chaos nods and leans towards you, whispering.
>"Since i know Angel told you, rule three of the guard: If nothing bad has happened, it is about to. So think about what could happen."
"We will be sure to get her one, How about a blue scarf?"
>"Sure, i'll grab it for her. Make it a rule that she can us it to only hide her collar in public."
>A louder groan from Angel brings your attention to him once again, A content look on his face as he holds Fixer's head down.
>He let's go and Fixer gasps for air, letting out a small cough before she begins to clean Angel.
>"Did she do a good job Angel? think you can forgive her?" Chaos says.
>"I suppose, but..."
>Angel leans over and grabs Fixer's tail, lifting it up and giving her a spank.
>"That's for hurting Vex's feelings."
>Angel gives you a wink and get's up, moving back to his seat as Fixer squirms in place.
>Once the brothers have switched, Chaos whispers something to Fixer, the tiny mare nodding then approaching you.
>She kisses your hooves and nuzzles one of them, avoiding eye contact.
>"I'm sorry master Vex, i was wrong to be embarassed about being a pet to you, and to masters Chaos and Angel. Please forgive me."
>Chaos smiles, looking at you
>"She still needs to make it up to you i suppose, but i want to see her apologize and that you both forgive her before i have her make it up to me. Then we will see about giving relief to her."
 
>You lift Fixer's head up, having her look at you.
"Her apology seems sincere enough, i forgive her."
>Fixer smiles faintly, still looking somewhat distressed from the lust spell.
>"Good, now come here." Chaos says.
>Fixer moves back over and looks up at Chaos as he sits down.
>"You know what to do."
>She nods and gets her forehooves in ths chair, repeating what she did to Angel.
>She laps at Chaos's sack untill he is erect, licking up his length and taking it into her mouth.
>Fixer bobs her head as she sucks away at Chaos, her tail swishing back and forth as she does.
>Chaos eventually places a hoof on her head and thrusts in time with her motions, getting himself deeper and deeper into Fixer's mouth.
>Chaos gives a few grunts here and there, forcing Fixer down more over time.
>He eventualy sighs loudly, taking his hoof off of Fixer, letting her slowly release him.
>She gasps when she finally lets go, opening her mouth at Chaos.
>"Good, i think that you can be forgiven." Chaos says.
>Fixer nods, biting her lip and looking up at Chaos.
>"Have something to say?"
>"I won't make the same mistake again. Could i please be used and have release?"
>Chaos looks over at you, crossing his hooves.
>"Well, i can only account for our pet making it up to two of us. Has she made sure to pay all three of us for what she did?"
 
"She has made it up to me already. So yes, her punishment is over."
>Fixer you can see Fixer smile again, only to bite her lip again from the spell.
>Chaos smiles, looking at her.
>"Good. Now off to your room and wait, your relief will come soon."
>Fixer quickly moves to the door, going for the control panel.
>"But before you go..."
>Fixer stops and looks at Chaos, looking about ready to break.
>"You will be allowed to cover your collar in public places with clothing we will provide, but not on the ship, you still must follow the rules that was set before. Now you may leave."
>Fixer nods rapidly and takes off, Chaos smiling.
>"Maybe we do need a good name to call her, something that will get her attention. Even if it is behind closed doors."
>"Something for when she is good and when we need her attention. Also, good news, we are here." Angel says.
"Already?"
>"The pet helped pass the time with her apology. We weren't that far anyways."
>"So we are off the rest of the day?" Chaos asks.
 
"Let's see if there is anything good."
>You grab a nearby data pad, quickly looking for some jobs.
>The only ones avaliable are patrol jobs, most of them low pay.
>You shrug and put the data pad down, shaking your head.
"Nothing really too big avaliable at the moment. So yes, the rest of the day we can all have off. Though me and Angel will be busy for a little bit."
>Chaos shrugs, smiling.
>"That's fine. If you need me, i'll be with our pet. Just gona help her, then keep my word and watch that she doesn't push herself too much."
"Alright, see you around Chaos."
>As Chaos takes off, Angel gets up and gives you a hug, nuzzling you.
>"So then, what are we doing pretty mare?"
 
>You nuzzle Angel back, smiling.
"For now, we will work with Hunter. See if we can make more progress on his flying or speaking, possibly feeding too."
>Angel nods happily, giving you a kiss.
>"I'd love to have some family time, let's see if the little guy is awake."
>You and Angel head up to your quarters, catching Hunter as he exits your room.
>'Mommy!'
>The little changeling bounds up to you and hugs your leg, smiling up at you.
>"Aww, somepony looks happy to see his mother."
>You hug Hunter back, looking at him.
"But what about daddy? Are you not happy to see him?"
>Hunter quickly let's go of you and hugs Angel, Angel hugging back.
>"Glad to see you are full of energy kiddo. Not mad at dad for not leting you pilot right?"
>Hunter shakes his head, hugging Angel more.
>Angel looks at you, smiling.
>"Our room? What should we work on first?"
 
"Yes, our room. And we need to work on feeding, It is a changelings most important skill and will encourage magic use. We can do some speaking after."
>"Alright. Come on Hunter."
>You all head into your room, sitting on your bed.
>'What are we doing mommy?'
"We are teaching you how to feed Hunter. You will need to learn this, it is an important part of your life."
>You lean towards Angel, giving him a kiss.
"Think about your favourite mare."
>Angel nods with a smile, closing his eyes.
>You can feel love coming from him, turning to Hunter after.
"Remember how you can feel emotions? What is daddy feeling?"
>Hunter stares at Angel for a moment, looking back at you.
>'It's love.'
"Yes, it is love. I want you to focus on that feeling as much as possible, really feel the energy from it and try to absorb it."
>'Okay.'
>Hunter closes his eyes, everything staying quiet for some time.
>You can see Hunter strain a little, his horn getting a faint glow before fading away
>'It's hard to do.'
 
>You move over and nuzzle Hunter, causing him to open his eyes.
"It's because it is your first time, hard things get easier with practice. Do you want to try again?"
>'Yes.'
>Hunter closes his eyes again, getting the same expression as before.
>His horn flickers to life again, the glow getting brighter and brighter.
>You are frozen in silence as you see the same green energy as yours spreads outward towards Angel, both eyes of Hunter and Angel staying closed.
>The green energy almost touches Angel before it suddenly fades away, Hunter opening his eyes.
>'I don't think i did it.'
 
>You chitter in excitement, smiling at Hunter.
>"Oh, that can only mean something good happened." Angel says, opening his eyes.
"Almost! Hunter, you were so close! You almost had it."
>"How close was he?"
"Any closer and he would have done it."
>Angel smiles, gently patting Hunter on the head.
"Good job Hunter, i'm proud of you."
>'I almost did it?'
"Yep! You almost did do it."
>Hunter smiles widely, chittering happily.
 
"Think you can try one more time Hunter? Or would you like to stop and try speaking?"
>'I want to try again!'
>Hunter smiles enthusiastically, quickly closing his eyes.
"Alright. Move a little closer Angel, it may help."
>Angel nods and moves closer, love beginning to come from him.
>Again, it takes a little bit, but Hunter's horn glows with energy like before.
>The energy slowly reaches out and touches against Angel, slowly surrounding his head.
>Angel looks at you with a smile before turning back to Hunter.
>'I feel something mommy, like I'm being fed.
"Open your eyes Hunter."
>Hunter opens his eyes and jumps slightly, the little changeling looking shocked at the sight before him.
>The magical energy Suddenly disappears, Angel hugging Hunter with a smile.
>"You did it Hunter!"
>'I did it?'
"Yes you did do it! You were able to feed!"
>The little changeling chitters more, looking excited.
>"I think somepony needs a treat after this." Angel says. "But first, we need to practice speaking. Do you remeber the words we tried Hunter?"
>Hunter nods, squezing his eyes tightly before openingthem again and opening his mouth.
>Hunter makes a few noises close to but not quite "Mmmm" and "Aaah" before looking at you.
>"Anything easy for a changeling to pronounce Vex? Something to break the wall so he can begin talking?" Angel asks.
>Angel puts a hoof to his chin, looking throughtfull.
>"Do changelings even have trouble with the pony language?"
 
>You shrug, looking at Hunter.
"It took me awhile to learn myself, and i was older then Hunter. But it's like learning any other foreign language, some catch on easier when they know the proper sounds. He seems to understand a lot of words, so once he knows how to make the sounds, there will be no stopping him."
>"Good, hopefully he will talk a lot soon."
>Angel laughs, rolling his eyes.
>"Goddess, just watch, i'll be regretting my own words slightly in the future. What is easy for him to pronounce?"
"The C's are usually the easiest, Can you try saying catch hunter?"
>"That's a good one, he was working on his aaaah's"
>Hunter nods playing around with his voice again.
>He makes a few sounds, catching on the the C pronounciation of the word.
>"Caaa..."
>The whole pronunciation sounds rough and forced, but is somewhat there.
 
"Don't strain yourself too much Hunter. Angel, could you get him some water?"
>"Sure thing."
>Angel gets up and leaves the room, Hunter still working on his speaking.
>Angel quickly comes back with some water and gives it to Hunter, the little changeling drinking most of it.
>Hunter quickly returns to practicing, not sounding much better.
>"Hunter, relax. Take a deep breath and let it come naturally.
>Hunder does and instructed by Angel, taking a deep breath and exhaling.
>"Caaaatsssssh."
 
"Very good Hunter! That's almost your first word. Now you can ask daddy to play carch with you!"
>"You are doing really good Hunter, wana try to get it prefect?" Angel asks.
>Hunter nods, trying again
>"Caaatsssh."
"Almost. C-a-ch."
>"Caaaatch. Catch."
>"You did it Hunter!" Angel says.
"Good job!"
>The little changeling smiles, looking as happy as can be.
 
"Come here Hunter."
>You give Hunter a hug, hearing him chitter.
"How about we try one more word? Crayon. That way you can ask aunt Cobalt to draw with you."
>Hunter nods, smiling.
"Alright, Cr-a-on, try that."
>"Caarr-rrraaaannn."
>"That actually sounds close, good going."
"He will be talking in no time at this rate."
>"Yes, but i think that is enough for now. He can try playing around with it on his own, might suprise us. How about that treat? With the progress he has made, he deserves a reward."
 
"How about some candy? I bet Cobalt would share."
>"Ehh, fine, Cobalt will die at hearing him talk anyways. But we need to get icecream for him at some point."
>'Die?'
>You look at Hunter, a terrified look on his face.
"No, No! It's an expression, aunt Cobalt will just be excited to hear you."
>"Oops." Angel says, rubbing the back of his head.
>Hunter returns to smiling and all of you get up, roaming the ship in search of Cobalt.
>You end up in the war room and find Cobalt, Charon, and Sky all watching a show.
"Hello everypony."
>"Hey guys." Sky says, looking at a data pad.
>"Hi captian! Hello Hunter!"
"Cobalt, could we possibly borrow some candy for Hunter? He is deserving of a reward."
>"Oh? and what did he accomplish?" Charon asks with a smile.
"He was able to feed for a bit, and did something very amazing."
>You look at Hunter, smiling.
'Go on Hunter, say catch and crayon.'
>Hunter smiles, opening his mouth.
>"Catch. Caarrrraaaan."
>Cobalt jumps up, grinning widely.
>"Hespokeanditissocute!"
>Charon laughs, Sky nodding.
>"Nice, learning how to speak is he Angel?"
>"Yep, kid is gonna make me proud."
>"Here, some candy." Cobalt says, reaching next to her.
>She gives Hunter the little bag of candy, hunter setting it down and giving Cobalt a hug.
"What are you all up to anyways?"
>"Mystery show. We all got together and decided on a series, we had to find something to do together during down time." Sky says, looking back to the data pad.
 
"May we join you?"
>"Sure, It is a little spooky, but this is pretty age appropriate for Hunter." Charon says.
>"What has happened so far?" Angel asks.
>You all sit down and get curled up with each other, listening to the explanation and watching the mystery themed show.
>The show is about a series of supernatural occurrences related to ponies disappearing.
>Though incredibly fictional, the show is a little chilling, one of the ten ponies disappearing suddenely.
>As you watch the show, You feel a prod, Hunter looking up at you.
>'Are ghosts real mommy?'
 
"They could be, the universe is a big place for many possibilities. But i have never seen one, or known anypony that has, so i don't think so."
>Hunter seems to relax, looking back to the show.
>'Good.'
>Angel nuzzles Hunter, smiling.
>"Somepony scared of ghosts?"
"Possibly, but are they real?"
>Angel shakes his head.
>"Nah, the day i see one, then they are real."
>You all continue watching the show, the episode ending.
>Hunter nuzzles you, getting your attention again.
>'Could we do something else please? i don't like this ghost show.'
 
"Sure thing, we can do something else."
>"Not a fan on the show?" Angel asks.
"No, he isn't. Come on, let's go. See you later everypony."
>"Bye guys."
>"Bye Hunter!"
>You all head outisde of the room and turn to Hunter, smiling at him.
"What would you like to do Hunter? Play a board game? Play catch?"
>Hunter gets a big grin oh his face, looking at Angel.
>"Catch!"
>Angel laughs, giving Hunter a hug.
>"Sure thing kiddo, you and mommy go to the cargo hold, I'll grab a ball we can throw."
>You take Hunter to the cargo bay, Angel arriving soon after.
>After a quick lesson on how to throw, all three of you play, tossing the ball back and forth.
>There are many times where the ball goes too high or wide as you all play, each of you needing to run and get the ball.
>After about a good two hours, Hunter slows down, beginning to look tired.
 
"Aww. Come on Hunter, You look tired, let's get you to bed."
>Hunter nods, giving a tiny yawn.
>You lift him up onto your back with your magic, carrying him to your quarters.
>When you get there, you levitate hunter onto the bed, only for him to get up and hope off the bed.
>"Whats this now?"
>Hunter moves over to where his things are, grabbing something.
>He brings a book to Angel with a pleeding look on his face, Angel looking at him with a smile.
>"Of corse i'll read you a book Hunter."
>You lift Hunter up again, giving him a nuzzle and kiss as you tuck him in.
>Angel begins tonread the book, a smile on Hunter's face as he listens and holds his manticore.
>It's not long before Hunter falls asleep, Angel sighing.
>"Goddesses, i don't think i could forgive myself if he gave me that look after i tell him no."
>Angel sets the book aside after getting up, giving you a nuzzle before looking at Hunter again.
>"I'm so glad we saved him."
 
"He is really sweet, I love how cute he is with his manticore."
>"That sweater too, it was a good choice. The black, purple, and yellow really do suit him."
"Too bad all this goes away when he becomes a rambunctious teenager who wont listen to us and causes troubble."
>"Please, that will be the better times. Once i finish my master plan and get him as addicted to watching urban combat like me and Chaos, i'll be able to sit down and have my first drink with my son as we cheer for the Ruby Dragons. But untill then, i'll happily read him stories and sit him on my lap to pilot.
>Angel sighs, smiling at Hunter.
>"Had i known being a dad was this good, i would have had a kid sooner."
>Angel nuzzles you, turning your head towards him and giving you a deep kiss.
>The two of you wrestle tongues for a bit, Angel breaking the kiss after awhile.
>"But then i wouldn't have met the perfect mare."
>You hear a tiny noise from hunter, making you look at him.
>"Oops, better not wake him."
 
"Come on then, we'd better leave."
>You and Angel exit the room, getting into the hall.
>You press up against Angel's side once you are out of your room, rubbing your body against him as you nuzzle under his chin.
>You feel his tail flick sharply against your rear.
>"Pretty mare."
"Handsome stallion."
>Angel kisses you again, being much more aggressive this time.
>After some more tongue wrestling, he breaks the kiss and moves to your neck, giving a very firm bite.
 
>You let out a noise somewhere between a grunt and a wimper, whispering in Angel's ear when he lets go.
"My oh my, somepony seems very wound up for some reason."
>You bite Angel's ear with the same force he did to your neck, tugging on it after and getting a snall noise from him.
>"Ah. With good reason."
"My stallion eager for his session?"
>"Very, the side fun didn't even put a dent in him."
>You let go of Angel's ear and he pushes up against you heavily, kissing you all over.
>"I need my mare. To the point where i want to abandon going back for the things i wanted."
>He gets under your head, kissing his way down your chest and to your foreleg as you stand in the hall.
>"So, where do we wana do this? Crew quarters?"
 
>You push Angel away, faking an emotionally hurt sound.
"With all this buildup? No, i won't settle for anything but the best. Yes, crew quarters, i'll leave the door open."
>You kiss Angel all over, finishing with a nip to his neck.
"Go get your things and hurry to me."
>You give a wink before dashing off, headding to the crew quarters.
>You find one of the few empty rooms and hop onto the bed, leeping your hindquarters directed at the door as you lay down.
>It isn't long before Angel arrives, the black bag with him.
>You give your tail a lift, showing yourself to Angel as he sets the bag down.
>"Sexy mare."
"What does my stallion have for me?"
>Angel sets a rope down onto the bed, smiling.
>"You will see, lay over the rope on your back."
>You roll over, watching Angel as he moves to you with some more rope.
>He grabs and ties your forehooves together, then uses the one underneath you to bind your forelegs against your chest, all the ropes just out of reach of your mouth and fangs.
>He then moves away and sets some other things next to you, grinning as he sets a toy and gag down.
>Angel clips an odd little bracelet to your foreleg, smiling down at you.
>"That is very special. Tell me, if you really tried, do you think you could get out of this? How would you?"
 
"Use my magic, change form, and anticipate a fight because i have been captured. Possibly scream. Or just ask my stallion nicely."
>Angel chuckles, smiling.
>"That last one would work. But magic? Care to give a demonstration?"
>You give Angel an odd look, calling upon your telekinesis to use on the rope.
>Nothing, not even a shimmer of magic comes from you, the little bracelet around your leg vibrating.
>You try your magic again, with no success, the bracelet vibrating again.
>"Something speical for unicorns. Or magic users."
>Angel Gives you a quick peck, grabbing the gag.
>"Now for the fun, open wide."
>You smile and open your mouth, letting Angel secure the ring gag, the stallion looking down at you with a smile after.
>"Never had a mare like this before." He says, reaching down and running his hoof up your leg.
>Angel gently brushed against your marehood, giving it a small rub before traceing circles near and around it, teasing you.
>As he continues to tease you, he nips away at your neck, giving a lick when he bites a little harder.
>You can do nothing but squirm and give tiny moans as Angel teases you, Angel being nearly painfully slow with his hoof at times as your arousal builds.
>You eventualy feel a very warm and slightly wet sensation against you, Angel pulling away from your slightly sore neck.
>He just smiles when he pushes into your marehood, his member feeling very warm as he begins to roughly thrust away.
>He licks across your chest as he vigorously thrusts away, making you shiver as you moan against the gag.
>The teasing from earlier helps bring you to a climax, Angel not stoping as you ride out the orgasim.
>The two of you grunt and moan away, Angel giving a huge groan as he stops with one powerful thrust.
>You can feel a warm sensation inside of you as Angel pants, the stallion pulling out of you.
>he reaches over and grabs the toy that he set down, turning the vibrator on and pushing in inside of your marehood.
>Angel then moves over to your head as the vibrator pleasures you more, Pushing his member into your mouth with the help of the ring gag.
>You can taste your own juices alongside his cum, Angel thrusting away at a slower pace as he uses your mouth.
>You can feel some of his cum get on your cheeks and around your mouth, Angel keeping erect the entire time.
>Your body shakes from another orgasim, the vibrator still going as Angel pulls out of your mouth.
>He moves back over and flips you over, moving your tail to the side.
>You can feel a prod just beneath your tail as Angel enters you, slowly easing his way in as you moan and cry out.
>Once he is in as deep as he can go, Angel resumes the same roughness as earlier, filling you with pleasure and pain.
>Between Angel and the vibrator, you feel yourself track of what is happening, feeling a bit overwhelmed as Angel thrusts away and bites your ears.
>"Oh fuck!"
>Angel lets out a long groan and moan, collapsing on top of you slightly as falls off to the side of you.
>Angel reaches down and pulls out the vibrator, then undoes the gag, the two of you panting as he stays inside of you.
 
>You try to move with no success, looking to see your hooves still bound by the rope.
>You slump down as you pant, closing your eyes.
"Angel, hooves please."
>"Ha, right, sorry."
>Angel gently pulls out of you, making you groan a little.
>He pulls at the ropes and gets you free, letting you turn over and hug him, Angel hugging back.
>"I love you Vex."
"I love you too Angel."
>You can feel sleep begin to take it's claim on you, only being kept awake by Angel's nuzzles.
>"Next time, anything you want. Wasn't too rough was i? I wanted to keep my promise about you feeling sore in the morning."
 
>You give Angel a kiss, opening you eyes slightly and smiling at him.
"No, you were within rough permitters."
>You shift a little, feeling a numbing soreness throughout your entire hindquarters.
"Though i will say, you defiantly delivered."
>"Good."
"Also, anyththing i want? hmm?"
>Angel smiles, looking a little red.
>"Yes. Anything. Just give me a moment to adjust if i end up being a mare again."
>You two of you lay there, comfotably holding each other in silence.
>Just as you are about to fall asleep, Angel nuzzles you again.
>"Need to be carried? Or is this our bed for tonight?"
 
"This is our bed."
>"Awww."
>Angel kisses you on the cheek, pulling you closer after.
>"Sweet dreams pretty mare."
>You quickly fall asleep, kept warm by Angel.
>'Mommy?'
>You open your eyes slowly and yawn, your body feeling very sore as you gather your surroundings.
>Angel is still holding you tightly as he sleeps, all of his hooves wraped around you or interlocked with you in some way.
>'Mommy? Daddy? where are you?'
 
>You go to move the blankets with your magic, getting a vibration on your hoof.
>You roll your eyes and take the magic jamming device off without waking Angel, getting the covers you and Angel after.
'Good morning Hunter. It's okay, mommy and daddy are in a different room. Do you remember where the crew quarters are? Where aunt Cobalt's and uncle Chaos's room are?'
>'Yes.'
>You magically unlock and open the door.
'There is an open door, mommy and daddy are in that room.'
>After a minute, you hear tiny hoofsteps.
>You close the door as Hunter enters the room, the little changeling trying to pull homself up onto the bed.
>You smile and help him up with magic, Hunter looking at you and Angel curiously.
>'Why were you here? i thought you were gone.'
'Mommy and daddy were copulating, we didn't want to wake you.'
>'I remeber daddy having that emotion like before earlier, he was feeling lust.'
>You smile at Hunter.
'Very good that you remember the emotions you detect.'
>Hunter keeps looking at you and Angel.
>'What is copulating? Why did you and daddy do it?'
 
'Copulation is an intimate physical activity, where two sentients feel lust or love and are attracted to each other. They do it both for fun and procreation. All species do it, and changelings encourage it because we need to feed. Lust is easy to find, but It is not the only emotion we can get. However, you are not ready to do such a thing. You are very young still and need to get a better grasp on your magic and feeding.'
>Hunter nods.
>'Okay.'
>You get a hoof free as best as you can, causing Angel to stir.
>"Mmmh."
>Angel opens his eyes, smiling at you.
>"Good morning pretty mare."
"Morning handsome stallion."
>Hunter gets up and moves between the heads of you and Angel, nuzzleing you both.
>Angel laughs, letting go of you slightly and making room for Hunter.
>"We were "Hunted" It seems."
"Yes, he was calling for us when i woke up."
>You lean in, whispering to Angel.
"Think about last night, i want him to try feeding more."
>Angel nods, getting a grin on his face, lust alredy coming from him.
>You reach up and pull Hunter close, snuggling him.
"Go ahead and try to feed off of daddy Hunter."
>Hunter nods, closing his eyes.
>Once again, a faint green aura comes from his horn, eventually building up and latching onto Angel.
>He is able to keep it up for a brief moment, smiling when he stops.
>'Love is better, but lust is pretty good.'
>"looks like he is starting to get the hang of it. By the way, you feeling alright Vex?"
 
>You move your hind legs around a little, feeling stiff and sore, a dull pain still present from last night.
"Definately want to stay here as long as i can, though i think i'm fine."
>"Think?"
"I'll know for sure when i need to get up."
>"Aww." Angel says, giving you a tender nuzzle.
>Your stomach growls a little, Angel smiling at you.
>"Guess that may be now. unless you want me to see about getting breakfast here? or i could just carry you."
 
"Hang on."
>You let go of Hunter and get to your hooves, the aching in your rear and back legs staying there.
>The pain is only slightly worse when you move, enough to make you walk a little funny.
>You porously lay on top of Angel, smiling at him.
"Oh no! I can't walk!"
>Angel laughs, lookng at you lovingly.
>"Alright, i'll happily carry my mare."
>Hunter quickly climbs on top of Angel, then you, smiling down as he lays on you.
>Angel sighs with a smile, grunting as he stands up and lifts you both.
>He carefully gets off the bed, taking you both to the mess.
>As you approach, an oddly wonderfull aroma fills your nose, only growing stronger as you get to the mess.
>'What is that?' Hunter asks, sniffing the air.
>When you arrive, you see Fixer and Chaos at the table, Fixer lookng energetic.
>You can see Sid's core hooked up to the coffee maker and toaster, a strong sent of coffee and toast in the air.
>"Guys, you need to have some of this stuff, It's too good. " Chaos says, pouring a coffee.
>Fixer leans back and crosses her hooves with a smile, the heart on her collar making a small noise as she does.
>"If i ain't a mare that keeps her word, i don't know what i am."
 
>Angel lowers himself so you and Hunter can get off, both of them getting to the table as you wobbly walk.
>"Get to bed late Vex?" Chaos asks with a smile.
"Yes, a little."
>Fixer raises a hoof, a sympathetic look on her face.
>"If ya are sore enough cap, i got just the thing for you."
"I'll keep that in mind."
>You sit down and grab some coffee, Fixer putting some bread in the toaster.
>"Watch this."
>The toaster quickly spits the bread back out, all the slices looking crisp and golden.
>"TOASTED TO PERFECTION."
>Though the voice isn't loud, Hunter jumps at Sid's voice, looking suprised.
"Don't worry Hunter, you don't have anything to fear from Sid."
>You give him a piece to toast after buttering it, grabbing one for yourself and doung the same.
>You bite into the delicious toast, getting a grin on your face.
"Wow Fixer! This is great."
>"No kidding, coffee is too." Angel says.
>"Happy to please. Also, i got everything priced out for you cap, we can talk numbers whenever you wana." Fixer says, smiling.
>A quick trotting gets your attention, Cobalt running into the room, Charon slowly walking behind her.
>"What smells so good?" Cobalt asks.
 
"Toast that Sid made, it's really good."
>Cobalt sits down and grabs some toast, Charon moving and making some tea.
>Cobalt bites into the toast, smiling.
>"Soooo gooood."
>You smile, turning to Fixer.
"What else could Sid make?"
>Fixer shrugs.
>"Anything really, don't know how much a cooker bot would cost. Like i said, that applies for the whole ship, Sid is only limited to the control we give. You want a garden? He can care for it and make it grow."
"What about that body of his? How much would that cost?"
>"1000 credits. Sid would have an AI core and be linked to the internal sensors and speakers, he then could project himself through holograms and have a body. Call for him, and he will appear for you and talk to you."
>"Sounds cool." Angel says.
>"It will be. Also you can choose what body Sid gets, we could also change Sid's voice, name too if we really wana."
"Are there limitations?"
>"Nope, not at all. Could be a nice strong army stallion, a good looking mare in a dress, little filly with a bow. Figure we would want to do something about the whole doom bot 3000 voice."
>"Well, it could intimidate anypony that comes aboard the ship." Charon says as she makes her tea.
 
"I'm honestly at a loss now that i have a blank slate, though the filly idea is amusing. Could we just buy more than one body? Let him swap between them?"
>Fixer shrugs.
>"Sure i guess, but we don't need to buy multiple bodies, just the projectors. I just figured we would want only one, that way we get used to it quicker. Heck, though we would lack the ability to physically touch anything, we could play virtual chess with him."
>"Wouldn't he be garenteed to win?" Chaos asks.
>"Yeh, he kinda would."
"Well, what does Sid think? he must have an opinion."
>"CALCULATING. CONCLUSION REACHED. DESIGNATED VOICE WAS MASCULINE AND AGGRESSIVE FOR MAXIMUM INTIMIDATION. "YOUNG" AND "INNOCENT" WOULD BE BETTER DURING SOCAL INTERACTIONS."
>Charon laughs, sitting down with her tea.
>"I'm suprised, Sid is somewhat correct. A filly would be much more comfortibg on a socal level."
>"So why not the military one for when we have prisoners or are in combat? And the filly for everything else?" Chaos asks.
>"That seems appropriate." Charon says, glancing at Fixer and doing a doubble take as she begins to speak.
>"Well, i'll let you do the final decision cap, you ship and all."
>Charon looks at Fixer, a curious look on her face.
>"I'm guessing that you are okay with and are allowing this Vex."
>"Allowing what?" Cobalt asks.
>"Dare i ask, Fixer... why you have a collar on?"
>Fixer's eyes go wide and she blushes, swallowing.
>"T-to let ponies know i am a pet. That i am owned by my masters."
>Cobalt freezes and blushes as well, a steady contest between her and Fixer as to who is redder.
>"How fitting, given your psycological profile." Charon says, drinking her tea.
 
>You smile and watch the two mares, Fixer constantly glancing around while Cobalt just stares at Fixer, neither of them stopping.
"The filly sounds good, let's do what Chaos mentioned."
>Fixer nods, her blush subsiding.
>"I'll hop to it when you give the credits, i'll even change his voice for the filly, shouldn't take more then a few hours. Also, about that blueprint you gave me, the price for making one is 4000 credits."
"Really?"
>Fixer nods her blush gone.
>"Yeh, but it's only for each mod, and they both will take all day to make. You still will need the base shield, and judging by the power schematics, adding a capacity or recharge upgrade would be bad. If you give me three days, i could have two shields ready for 20000. That is counting me building the shields, it would be 24000 if you store bought the shields, but you would have them by today."
>Cobalt keeps glancing at Fixer, making Fixer blush again, the battle resuming.
 
>You ger out the credits for both projects and pass them to Fixer.
"Go ahead and make it from scratch Fixer."
>Fixer nods, taking the credits.
>"After today, if you or anypony else want to check on progress or talk to me, please announce your entry. I like my three remaining hooves."
>You look over at Cobalt, who is still looking over at Fixer.
"Cobalt!"
>She snaps her gaze towards you, eyes wide as you smile at her.
"If you keep looking at it, do i need to assume you want a collar too? If you have something to say then say it."
>Cobalt just looks down and grabs another piece of toast, biting into it and focousing on it.
 
>You get up and grab a data pad, stopping to give Cobalt a hug.
"I am only joking Cobalt, you know that right? But if you are curious, I don't think Fixer would mind answering some questions."
>"Yes, I know..."
>Cobalt looks at Fixer again.
>"Could I ask some questions in the hall?"
>Cobalt motions towards Hunter, Fixer nodding.
>"Uhh, sure."
>The two mares walk outside and you turn to the data pad, looking up some jobs.
>Pirate removal: 4000
>Secure a facility: 5000
>Mining team protection: 4000
>Both Cobalt and Fixer come back after a few minutes, each mare sporting a blush and smile, Fixer blushing less then Cobalt.
 
>You take a closer look at the jobs, starting with the pirate one.
>A group of pirates and their ship have been terrorizing a few colonies, harming innocents and taking supplies.
>One of the colonies placed a tracking device in a food crate on suspicion of being attackd next, the location being shown on the data pad.
>The job asks that the pirates be delt with by any means necessary.
>You look at the facility job, reading about the task.
>A weapons development facility came under attack and is asking that any intruders be delt with, also asking that none of the weapons be taken for personal gain.
>As you read on, you find an attached audio file.
>The description reads: "Last transmition recived, enemies are possibly changelings."
 
>You accept the jobs, grabbing one last slice of toast to eat.
>Sky walks into the mess as you do, sitting down and looking at a data pad as he eats.
>"Morning guys."
>"Good morning Sky."
>"Hey Sky."
"Morning Sky. Good thing that we are all here, i have some news about today's job."
>"What is it?" Cobalt asks.
"We are fighting Changelings today."
>The crew looks over to you, all of them giving you their attention.
>"Wait, is that a good idea? What if one of us gets captured and they copy us?" Chaos asks.
"I can cast my dispell on them, that will neutralize their disguise. We only need to worry about me, and i have an idea. I'll put a mark on the bottom of my hoof and have a password, that way everypony will know it is me. But we will likely stick together regardless, just to be safe."
>"Actually, that is a good idea. We could ask you a question, how about that?" Charon says.
>"Good idea! we have the perfect question too, "What is your son's name?" they won't be able to figure that out." Angel says with a smile.
 
"Yes, that is perfect. I'll also put a yellow mark under my hoof."
>"Sweet, then we should be set." Angel says.
>"Just be sure to show us the mark before we go, so we know exactly what it looks like and don't go saying "Yep, yellow ish, must be Vex." Sky says, returning his attention to his data pad.
"I will. Also, we are at a weapons development facility for that mission, we can't take what we find."
>Chaos shrugs.
>"Ahhh, we got some cool guns anyways, you cant beat that suit."
>"Not yet." Fixer says with a smile.
>She gets up, trotting off.
>"Gonna get to work, if anypony needs me, you know where i am."
 
"Anypony have a good way i could mark myself? Hoof polish? Paint?"
>Cobalt shyly smiles, nodding.
>"Give me a moment."
>She walks off, coming back within minutes.
>She sets down a makeup kit, pulling out a yellow container.
>"Makeup Cobalt? When did you get this?" Charon asks, giggleing
>Cobalt smiles, looking embarassed.
>"I did a little work on a day off and bought it. I wanted to try looking super pretty with makeup on, but then i found out how bad i was at doing it."
>She takes out the cap and hold it in her mouth, taking your hoof.
"Make it a Z please."
>Cobalt nods, looking happy.
>She paints the inside of your hoof, tickleing you a little as she does it.
>She pulls away and smiles, putting the container away.
>"There!"
>You look at your hoof, seeing the yellow Z.
