Raising my hand higher, I ran through my combed back hair. Shaved temples with some tattoos. As if the guy was really turned on Scandinavian mythology and tried in every possible way to imitate the Vikings from my planet. I just forgot that these guys were famous not only for their appearance, but for their strength and stamina.

I would never change my appearance to suit some tastes, but I must admit that I like it. It remains only to put the body in order: pump up, increase endurance, remember old tricks and find a sword. Oh, that's the only weapon I'll need in this damn world, well, a pistol or a blaster. I hope they have blasters here?

I also noticed in the reflection how a silver pendant with an AI core was hanging around my neck. Atria waits in the wings to become my partner and adviser. This is good. Her knowledge will help you navigate this world. To start, I need...

"Finally awake, idiot!" - there was a ringing voice behind me.

Squinting to the side and taking half a step in the opposite direction, I was able to see in the reflection of the one who bothered me with such an impudent tone. I wanted to answer sharply and brazenly, but after looking closely, I was stunned with surprise, my mouth rushed down by itself under the weight of gravity.

Behind me was a female cat. I don't even know how to describe it better. Triangular ears on the head, an elongated muzzle of a huge cat, a body covered with hair and long black hair like any human girl. An impressive chest, a flat stomach, also covered with orange fur with black patches, pumped up hips, covered with tight short pants that reach to her paws. Yes, they were paws. Like if you put an ordinary cat upright, and it will rely only on the pads, or if a person walked only on tiptoe all the time keeping his heels on weight. No wonder her legs are so pumped up. Hands, on the other hand. They were thin with sharp nails, she crossed them under her breasts hidden behind the fabric of a white sports shirt.

Seeing my confusion and surprise oozing through an indecently open mouth, a girl or an animal ... A cat? Beastman? In general, she flashed her green eyes with vertical pupils in annoyance and annoyance and said:

“Are you going to stare for a long time, idiot?! I had to leave the station quickly because of you! What will your father say when he finds out that you dropped out of your studies in the Inquisition Corps?! I almost got arrested because of you...

She would have continued to swear further, but seeing my confusion, she waved her hand or still her paw, and then turned around and left. I took pleasure in noticing the fluffy, soft, long tail that extends just above the appetizingly round ass.

I was alone in the room. She spoke so impudently to me, but I did not answer. He was too shocked by what he saw. And who is she anyway? Why is he talking to me like that?

Breaking away from my own reflection, I finally left the medical bay, as I dubbed it for all these manipulators and monitors with biometrics of my body. The door slid open with a soft hiss, revealing the rich, futuristic interior of the ship.

- Wow! - involuntarily escaped from me when I stepped on the parquet polished to a shine, looking at the white walls.

The ship was small. It can be said that when I left the medical block, I immediately got into the only room that connected everything at once. To the right is an open compartment with an instrument panel and two chairs, and to the left a double door apparently leading to the cabins. There was also a round table nestled here, surrounded by many machines with pictures of food, from the sight of which my stomach rumbled invitingly.

That cat girl, displeased with me, wagged her tail in front of the ornate double door. It opened to reveal a huge bed, a bathroom and shower next to them, enclosed only by a small transparent partition.

- Hey! Wait! I need…

I wanted to call out to her and ask questions, but she ignored me. She just chuckled, turning her ears in displeasure, showing that she heard me. Here is the infection. If she does not want to answer my questions, then I know who will do it with great desire. You just need to find where to insert the AI ​​core. It must be somewhere... I'm a fool, this is the future. Movies have always been voice controlled. Yes, why invent, in my time everything was already controlled by voice, adapting to the needs of a person, although it did not have its own intelligence.

- A computer? Ship?

- I hear you, sir! the languid female voice of the ship's AI responded.

I got a little carried away by this. Too revealing sexuality. No wonder that cat hates this kid. I would also hate him for this, I suppose he also puts naked models on the computer desktop trying to compensate for his sexual dissatisfaction.

But the voice called me master... So this ship belongs to me? Then why is this cat behaving like that on my ship? What right does she have to do this? Damn it, we'll find out later, now we need to activate Atria.

- Where is the AI ​​core with the connection interface?

Silence was my answer, and then the floor caught fire. There are blue arrows showing the direction. After passing through which, I ended up in the cockpit. Again I had to gasp in surprise.

The endless blackness of space, separated from me by the transparent strong glass of the portholes. Or maybe it's not glass, but only a projected image from external cameras. It should be even more convenient, like in our VIP class shuttles. But damn, it's beautiful. There are billions of stars, and they all shine brightly for me, as if whispering “explore us, we are waiting for you.” Each dot can represent a sentient race or colony. If cosmic movements are developed here, then it should be so. But there is also an unexplored sector of deep space, where the gods are now hiding in anticipation of a new crusade.

"Damn, this was worth dying for," I said enthusiastically.

There were many stars, but imagining all this distance, unpleasant goosebumps ran down my back. After all, if they seem like grains of sand to me, then I am only a molecule, a microbe or an atom compared to all this. Scary. But at the same time, I want to see my planet. That green-blue ball, frozen in the void of space ...

I sat down in the comfortable pilot's seat. The ship's systems were full of many indicators, but they all disappeared immediately, and the system helpfully showed a huge inscription "Autopilot active". All. I didn't need to know anything more.

- So, where is the core?

Just as I asked, on the right side of the dashboard, a capsule slowly rolled out with a glowing blue ball inside. I tried to carefully pull it out, and then I removed the medallion from my neck and put it inside. As soon as everything returned to its place, visible changes began.

The lights on the ship went out abruptly, leaving me in an oppressive twilight. Absolute silence. Then there was a roar, and someone began to drum on the iron. Turning to the side, I saw the closed doors of the bedroom, and realized who was knocking there.

"Calm down, it's just a temporary problem," I said, going to these doors and knowing that the cat would hear me.

Yes, I hope this is a temporary problem and I did everything right. Otherwise, if I screw up and break everything, then we have problems.

- What the hell is temporary... I can't get out! Your mother, you dumb sucker, as soon as I get out and you will not do well! You will go to the medical block again ...

With every word, she knocked on the doors with such fury, as if I had personally locked her inside and now I'm standing mocking. She's already starting to annoy me.

"Shut up already and calm down, you hysterical fluffy!" I growled as loudly as I could, and my voice echoed off the ship's inner walls.

- What you said?! You wait, I'll get out of here and you personally ...

As if the influence of higher powers, at the same moment, the lights turned on in all the ship and the doors abruptly opened.

The cat, hissing, jumped at me, marking my face with its claws. Taking a step back, I forced myself to fall to the floor, seeing how this deranged tailed flies over me with wide eyes in surprise. With a deft somersault in the air, she twisted, landing on her paws, and then attacked again with a blow from above.

- Have you lost your mind? I asked in surprise as I dodged her claws digging into the wooden floor.

- As we cripple, so we will cure! she growled, wagging her tail in displeasure.

What's wrong with her? What did this kid do in the past to hate him so much?

I pulled up my legs and pushed the cat away from me. She jumped aside in surprise, running her hand over her fluffy tummy. I, without wasting time, jumped to my feet, standing in a protective stance. This time, nothing will stop me from being more efficient. Strength pumped, dexterity appeared, I am completely cured.

"Greetings, Crillius," Atria's familiar voice echoed throughout the ship.

- Well, finally you woke up, - I exclaimed, and then was knocked down by a cat on the ground.

She was fast and so strong that my new body couldn't handle it. Straining my frail muscles, I only managed to keep my claws away from my face with shaking hands, but they rush closer and closer to me, promising to decorate my face.

- Do you need help? - the voice of AI was heard again.

- Still would!

- Nobody will help you! Now I'll teach you how you'll spoil my mood!

- Shut up, you hysterical already! I exclaimed, trying to push her away from me again.

While we were fighting, something touched my shoulder. At first I did not attach any importance to this, but then the pokes became more insistent. I had to risk my face to turn my head and see a small robot that held an iron collar in its small manipulator.

- Take this, it will help to subdue this female furriod. 

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the eyes of a cat looming over me, wide with fear, she even stopped trying to pierce me with her claws. Her temporary stupor allowed me to grab the collar abruptly, but the cat didn't like it.

She hissed louder than usual, her hair and tail reared up, and her eyes read primal horror and undisguised hatred. She seemed to know what this collar means and was ready to do everything so that I would not put it on her neck. But it was her reaction that only made me want to do it even more.

Thanks, Atria! I thanked AI.

Yes, I am one of those people who thank AI for the work done, as if I am communicating with a living person.

- As soon as the collar is on her neck, activate it by pressing the button, and then move away. She will no longer be able to attack you and somehow harm you.

O! How wonderful! Now this tattered cat will have to apologize to me for such behavior for a long time.

The cat jumped away from me like fire, while trying to hit my face with its claws. I covered myself with my hand and hissed slightly as my skin burned from the wounds I received. The blood slowly began to flow, soaking the white jacket.

- Creel, if you remove the collar, then I will forgive you! she hissed in a low voice, her dilated pupils staring at the collar in my hand.

I slowly got to my feet. I was already annoyed by her behavior. He fancies himself some kind of self-confident and looks down on me.

- So you will forgive me? Yes?

Yes, I will forgive you! And let me take some of the money your father gave you...

My father? Well, yes, it's about the family of the former owner of the body, otherwise I already wanted to be surprised. But it turns out that the truth is now I have a family. But the cat said that the father sent money, and she will allow you to take some of it? Who is she anyway?

- Atria, who is she anyway?

- Are you kidding?!

The cat exclaimed indignantly at my question, but, fortunately, Atria did not keep me waiting for an answer:

- Furriod Terreria. A slave concubine bought by your father for your coming of age as a gift that was celebrated on the planet Regulus Prime. Currently assigned to you as a personal property.

I laughed, loudly, so that my sonorous laughter echoed throughout the room of my ship, and reached my cat slave. Everything here is mine, which means that she must obey me. Apparently, when she was presented to the boy, this slobber could not put a collar on her and subdue her, then he could not even show who was in charge. The cat is comfortable. She kicked him out of her own bedroom, took the money for herself and, I'm sure, spent it on her own needs. If my father could afford such a beautiful slave with a good figure as a gift, then there is a lot of money in my new family.

Hearing my laughter, the cat Terreria gritted her teeth in displeasure.

“I think I’ll have to remind you what will happen to you if you try to go against me…”

- What will happen? - I asked with a smile, - Show me, kitty. Kitty-kitty!

I have heard many times in my life how mad cats growl and hiss, but this one roared like a wounded tiger. She darted towards me like orange lightning. The sharp claws of her hands and feet left deep furrows in the wooden floor with every step filled with rage. My black hair was ruffled, covering my eyes and face, but Terreria didn't care, she saw me as an enemy and wanted to win.

I took a step forward towards her. My palm slammed into her face as she was about to make a short jump and raised herself slightly for comfort. This is what allowed me to extinguish the inertia of its movement and to fill up on the floor with a deafening roar. Terreria tried to break free, but I sat on top of her, lifting her arms above her head and holding her wrists with my hand, pressed her to the floor. To put on the collar, I had to lower myself down to her face and feel hot breath on my cheek, meet her eyes. They sparkled with the blackness of dilated pupils.

- Let go! - she pleaded, lying under me, - Since when did you become like this?

- What? - I asked with a grin, unable to resist and running my hand over the smooth and soft fur on her muzzle.

There was a soft rumbling and the girl's chest trembled slightly.

"Strong," she said softly, "You've never been like this!" Like a different person. More mature, more sexy...

She said the latter in a sexy, languid voice that made me tense up. I felt her trying to rub her belly against my aroused flesh. It was nice, but too predictable. A girl in trouble, a beauty, with seductive forms that drive every man crazy, and she knows it, enjoys it. Just like now. In the past, it was often necessary to knock out debts from young fools who borrowed more money than they could afford with their salaries, and each time they believed that their beauty and sexuality would help them. But no. It definitely won't work for me, but you can play along. I want to look at her annoyed face when she realizes that I'm playing her.

- What are you doing? I asked, trying to suppress a grin and pretend to enjoy her tummy rubs.

- I'm ready to do whatever you want, Creel! - she lifted her head to whisper hotly in my ear, - You can fuck me all day, rape me, I'll be faithful to you. In any position, at any time, I will be ready to accept you, my master.

- Truth? Will you be angry no more? Will you do whatever I want? - I even licked my lips at such a proposal.
