"Hmm, it's been a pleasure... I hope we can do more business. I have no shortage of jobs lined up that require a person in possession of your talents. Just give my bounty liaison a call whenever you desire, ho ho ho!" Giving a slight nod, Sev took one last look at the red-headed girl before departing the king's personal chamber.
As the enigmatic bounty hunter departed, King Gornu reached out and grabbed the red-maned slave girl, his touch invasive. He questioned her, "Have you had any prior acquaintance with that man?"
Emma, with a slow nod, replied, her voice barely above a whisper, "Yeah, you could say something like that, Master. He was an adversary in my former life..." She attempted to recover her equanimity, acutely aware of her master's dominating presence.

Back on his ship, the bounty hunter stowed the suitcase containing the valuable alloys in his personal safe. He then settled into the cockpit and initiated contact with his personal AI.
"Kira," he called out.
"Yes, boss? I observed that everything proceeded smoothly. Well done," a female voice responded from within his helmet.
Sev, a hint of vindication in his tone, retorted, "Yes, as usual. I've told you to cease doubting me all the time."
Kira, being well-informed as always, promptly interjected, "Job number 567 has been logged in the database."
"Sorry, Sev. I'm just analyzing the statistics. King Gornu is a highly erratic factor," the feminine AI tried to clarify. "He could have gone back on his word and possibly tried to kill you." Sev shook his head and started to tinker with the controls of his ship as he listened to her explanation.
He paused briefly to contemplate the array of adverse consequences if the mission had gone wrong. Sev was forced to reluctantly agree with his trusty AI that King Gornu was indeed an erratic employer. But fortune favored the bold. What he had been seeking was of elusive rarity nowadays. The rotund warlord had been the only being within a hundred parsecs who had the know-how and the leverage to obtain the Hyperium Alloy.
But after running the whole job quickly back through his mind, Sev nodded affirmatively to himself. He was still confident that he would be able to handle whatever came his way if things were to go sour with King Gornu. He was, after all, one of the most notorious and dangerous independent bounty hunters in the galaxy.
"So, Sev, may I ask why you needed more Hyperium? You still haven't told me anything," Kira queried in a slightly whiny tone. "Your armor is in no need of repair. And it seems safe to assume that you aren't just going to turn around and sell it off, given how hard it was to obtain in the first place." The curious AI listed several increasingly unlikely speculations as to why he had needed to go to such lengths to acquire the surpassingly rare alloy. But to her dismay, the bounty hunter refused to elaborate any further.
Beneath his helmet, Sev chuckled lowly at his AI's curious conclusions. "What's the matter? Have something to share? Come on, please tell me." Shaking his head while still wearing an amused grin, he ignited the ship's engines. A powerful, high-pitched rumble cascaded through the entire cockpit and cabin, signaling the ship's readiness for action.
"I'll let you in on it once we're clear of orbit," Sev informed the AI. He couldn't see her, but he could hear the faint excitement in Kira's response, a small and intrigued giggle.
"Set Input coordinates for the Conclave," he commanded as he deftly guided the ship, initiating the course for their next destination.
"Understood, boss. Inputting coordinates for the Conclave," Kira obediently answered.
Lifting off from the landing pad, the ship executed a swift ascent, hurtling upward into the planet's turbulent atmosphere. It sliced through the layers of thick, orange-tinged clouds that shrouded the skies over Abogon. The vessel quivered under the strain of the rapid ascent, but the seasoned bounty hunter barely registered the turbulence, maintaining an unwavering focus on the next item on his to-do list.
Breaking free of the planet's murky atmosphere, the vessel swiftly entered the inky expanse of space. With a confident nod, Sev relinquished control of the ship to his capable AI and settled back in his seat, ready to make the jump into the vast cosmos.
"Coordinates for the Conclave locked in. Jump space drives primed. Temporal harmonics stabilized. Engaging quantum inhibitors..." Kira relayed the vital systems check, going through the routine procedures with precision. "Are you ready, boss?" she inquired. Sev gave an affirmative nod in response.
Kira continued with an air of readiness, "Initiating faster-than-light-speed jump sequence."
Kira began the countdown, "Launching in three... two... one..." In an instant, the ship surged forward at incredible speeds, piercing the fabric of spacetime. The view through the cockpit window transformed into a mesmerizing tunnel of cerulean streaks of light as they hurtled through the enigmatic realms of jump space.
As the ship translated across the surreal hallucinations of jump space, Sev couldn't help but shake his head. An uneasy feeling lingered in his mind and an expression of mild irritation flitted across his features. The abrupt transition and the characteristic whiplash of jump space travel were sensations he had never quite gotten used to, no matter how many faster-than-light-speed jumps he'd undertaken.
Still pensive and vaguely out of sorts, Sev rose smoothly up out of his seat and paced pantherishly over to his well-organized weapons locker, where he began offloading his equipment. With well-practiced motions, he fluidly but methodically unburdened himself, one piece of gear at a time. Unbuckling his utility belt, he laid it out carefully on a nearby workbench. He unlatched his ammunition pouches and performed a brief munitions check. Only then did he begin to unholster the varied assortment of weapons that had served him so well.
As he continued to unload his gear, Kira gently prodded Sev's memory, "Um, boss? Didn't you say that you were gonna explain why you needed all that Hyperium?" Sev nodded in response to her reminder.
"Right..." Sev uttered, his voice carrying a thoughtful undertone, as he finished the soothing task of polishing his trusty railgun. Glancing over at his cozy-looking bunk that was shielded by an opaque curtain, he said, "The Hyperium, it's for her."
"For her?" Kira repeated in a confused tone. Then, recalling something important, she exclaimed in realization. "Oh, right. Of course. Duh. I forgot she was still here. Is she still asleep? Why don't you go check on her, boss?" Sev headed his AI's suggestion and strode over to his bunk.

You're really trying to mate with me, huh?" she playfully moaned, not realizing how intent he was on actually trying to breed her. Glux just let out an alien growl, he was at full throttle, in full heat mode. His sole focus was to mate with Ashe.A mixture of Ashe's juices and Glux's secretions began to overflow out of her pussy and leak down her inner thighs. Her cheeks rippled with every thrust from Glux and the sounds of their flesh slapping rang in her ears. Ashe was now fully on board with this obscene miscegenation; she was loving every second of the fucking she was getting from this perverted alien; she never wanted it to end.Wanting to see his human female's pretty face again

Grabbing her by the backs of her knees, Glux spread her legs wide, holding her immovably open for his remorseless advance. Pulling his hips back, he positioned the pointed tip of his cock between the petals which had flowered apart on either side of the pink portal of Ashe's now sopping pussy. "Glux, we can't..." she weakly protested. But at this point, her mind and body had totally betrayed her, and there was no stopping what she knew was coming.All alternative versions of events had collapsed, vanished into the unchangeable maw of the past. Only this inevitable moment would now be born into existence, forever defining the future that would unfold from this point onward, in strict accordance with Glux's plan and the reproductive imperatives of his species.

Glux gulped and gobbled away at Ashe's boobs. He sucked like he was trying to consume her breast milk, though she didn't have any...yet. Succumbing to another barrage of his licks and sucks, Ashe involuntarily wrapped her arms around Glux's short, wide neck, pulling him closer to her. Glux was delighted at how far Ashe had surrendered to her own upwelling of arousal.Growing bolder still, Glux proceeded with the next step in his campaign to disrobe the irresistible bounty hunter, peeling that pesky bodysuit further off her. Glux employed his numerous limbs to assist Ashe out of the sleeves of her suit. "Woah, Glux. What are you doing to me?" Ashe asked in a breathy voice."Glux needs you naked," he responded. Ashe's eyes widened. Before she could object, Glux forced her down onto the cold concrete floor. As if she were merely a spectator at her own seduction, she watched in shock and musk-induced arousal as the four-armed alien nimbly stripped the last of her armor off of her long leg

Removing her helmet, she set it on the ground next to her, trying to avoid spreading his secretions to the glove on her right hand. This small section of the sewers was now illuminated by the headlamp on her helmet, like a spotlight shining on a stage. No longer filtered out by her helmet, the smell of Glux's musk immediately permeated Ashe's nostrils. Each molecule of musk docked with one of her scent receptors, instructing her neurotransmitters to amplify that ball of warm sensation that was already expanding inside her. Ashe's excitement multiplied by tenfold, sharply lowering her inhibitions. Glux plopped his wet shaft onto her face. His secretions leaked in viscous rivulets that ran down the flawless skin of her cheeks and collected in the corners of her lips, causing Ashe's mouth to water and her thighs to clench together around the moistness drenching her undergarments.With no need to persuade her further, Glux slid his cock down the sweet curves of Ashe's face along the path

Recalling her own tiny drone, Ashe reached for an explosive charge and attached it to the wall. She would activate the charge, blowing a hole in the wall when the time was right."What's that?" Glux wondered in his nosy way. Ashe sighed, it was if she had been saddled with an overly-inquisitive nosy child."Er- you don't need to know. Just, whatever you do, do not touch this," Ashe stated clearly. Glux tilted his head."Touch?" Glux replied."Ugh, no! Don't touch!" Ashe frustratingly reiterated, walking over to and flicking him in the forehead.As her drone crawled back out its hole on the sewer side of the wall, Ashe grabbed it and tucked it away in her satchel. "Okay, Glux, I got what I needed. Thank you," Ashe said to the alien. They just stood and stared awkwardly at each other. Glux knew what he wanted from her, and Ashe did too.Ashe's heart raced in anticipation waiting for one or the other of them to say what they were both thinking. She had a strong urge just to silence him f
An Alien Entanglement:>>Ep17
Walking down the platform of her ship, she cautiously swept her green orbs over her surroundings again just to be certain that none of the Coalition troopers were still lurking about. Satisfied that they were safe, at least for the moment, she stepped out from the cover of her hatch and all the way off her ship's ramp. Glux waddled closely behind her as she turned to close the entry hatch.Exiting the sliding doors of the landing pad station, Ashe and Glux made their way back towards the deeper parts of the city. As they walked, Ashe's attention was drawn to the sky by the loud rumbling of a Coalition cruiser ship flying overhead, escorted by wings of fighters and several corvettes. The roar of their massive engines made it hard to hear anything else. The passage of the massive ships above them failed to faze the onlookers who plied the city's walkways in their usual bustling throngs. It was common to see naval ships transiting the city's airspace: Antares IV was home to a naval shipy
