The adventures of Lisa the vixen : Lisa, remember you're an officer of the league By Raven Fox: Elise managed to get a starship of the league. He's going around on a rampage causing troubles. Lisa and the crew of the LSS Night wing catch up to him. (This is a older story that was sitting in a forgotten USB stick I found while cleaning out a sock drawer. RAVEN FOX:))

LSS Night wing, near star base 908.

Lisa looked at the view screen, gazing at the image of the LSS Nasal. "Sir, transport of personal done." She said to the male cougar, with a grin on her muzzle.

The image of a artic vixen filled the screen. "Carlson, we've received the personal with no problems." She turned to Lisa. "Good to see you again Lisa, I hate to loose a good helmsman, but I knew something was wrong with this transfer when Elise requested it." The vixen's voice turned in an acid tone. "A crew from a ship busted him out of the brig. The ship your looking for is the LSS Wasp a Newport class destroyer. After I pick up my human personal, I'll join you in the hunt. Good hunting Carlson." The image changed to the view of the Nasal.

There's a chirp in the com system, then the image of Stevenson appeared. "Carlson, your orders are to intercept the Wasp, then disable her. If it can't be helped, destroy her. I prefer if it if you manage to capture the ship."

Carlson sighed. "Sir, do you know why they busted Elise out of the brig?"

"Most of the crew served with him, plus they hate the outer rim worlds. They want us to get in a fight with them." Said Stevenson with dread in his voice.

"Sir, from what I found out from Admiral Mac Shane. We'll end up loosing a war with them. What's Elise's problem, does he want the league in chaos?" Replied Carlson looking at his formal commanding officer.

Stevenson sighed. "I don't know, just find that ship before it manages to fire upon an outer rim worlds ship. I sent an alert message to the OWS Osprey, Elise will be a idiot if he picks a fight with that ship. A Newport class doesn't stand a chance against an Eagle class, the Wasp might last one minute in a fight with the Osprey." The wolf looked at Lisa, then grinned. "Lisa, if you could. Pull the same stunt with the Wasp, like you did with the Night wing." He added with a serious tone. "Please if you could."

Lisa nodded looking at her old captain. "I will sir, since you asked me."

Stevenson smiled. "I know I can count on you. One thing Commander, hit the nacelles in the center, plus hit the saucer section at the same area. That will make them dead in space, plus Lisa, I want that traitor alive." The wolfs image disappears from the view screen.

Lisa just stared at the disappearing shape of the Nasal growing distant. A hand touched her shoulder, the vixen saw Bev looking at her. "Bev, I have this feeling that there's more to this story. I might be an Earthling male in a anthropomorphic vixen body, but something tells me that you personal used to be under one flag." She whispered to her friend.

Bev looked over to Carlson, the cougar nodded to the tiger. "Nicole, take over the helm to relieve Commander Greypaw. Bev tell her everything, so she knows what's going on, in the ready room."

Lisa and Bev left the bridge thru the side door. Carlson watched as the females leave, then turn to the female tiger at the helm. "Nicole, take us to the shipping lanes, if I wanted to start trouble. I'll start by attacking space liners and freighters."

Ready room of the LSS Night wing.

Lisa sat on a chair sticking her tail thru the slot at the back of the chair. The vixen looked over to Bev doing the same thing. She heard the distant whine as the ship formed the warp field to go faster than the speed of light. Lisa watched as Bev folded her hands on the dark brown table. "So, I take it this tale would take a while to tell."

Bev grinned showing her lethal teeth. "Yes my vixen friend, one hundred and fifty years ago. The was only the league only, no Outer rim worlds. What happened, personal who came from wealthier families became officers and had easier jobs on board ships. While personal from poorer families became only enlisted and had the dirty hard jobs. After a while it brought about resentment and low morale. There was some mutinies on ships and up risings at some cities on planets. We almost fell into chaos in the league, but one night." The tiger looked at the ceiling. "Twenty decommissioned star ships vanished. Then in the next year a portion of league personal and civilians starting disappearing, mainly from the poorer families."

Lisa absorbed this information. "How long ago did you find out where they went?"

The tiger looked at Lisa. "Five years later, a league vessel saw a decommissioned destroyer heading to what became known as the border. When they came to the border, the league vessel was meet with eight of the decommissioned ships, plus a warning that if they crossed the border they will be fired on. It took another twenty years of political talks before league personal was allowed any where inside the area of the Outer rim worlds. I left there when I was seventeen, it's nice over there. My older brother was in the military academy when my mother left my father." Bev looked at the pictures on the wall, they showed the Night wing being constructed and different pictures of the worlds it has been at. Then she looked at Lisa. "One hundred years ago, the league didn't see much of their ships because the Outer rim worlds invented their stealth system."

"Is that stealth system the reason, those ships are so warm inside?" Lisa asked remembering how warm the Osprey was.

Bev nodded, making a rumbling sound inside her chest. "Yes, that system makes the ships inside temperature warm. Lisa, one thing, those ships can use their weapons systems while the stealth system is running. That ship my brother is commanding, is one dangerous ship. It's laser cannons can pierce the shields on most league ships, plus this class of cruiser. If the Wasp decides to fight it, all what we will find is debris. The Eagle class, the class my brother is commanding has larger plasma conduits going from the core to the laser cannons to have no delay between shots. If you saw an Eagle class firing it's laser cannons, it would look like automatic weapons fire from a machine gun, plus it goes warp 12.75."

Lisa whistled when she heard the specs of the Eagle class. She remembered how fast it took to go from the border to Earth. The vixen also remembered how she to had to wear revealing clothing on that ship due to the heat inside it, plus the looks she got from the males on that ship. "How do you know this type of information?"

Bev smiled. "My brother likes to brag about his ship to his little sister."

Lisa stares thru the window looking at the stars streaking by, thinking that how familiar the league is to some countries on Earth. Thoughts raced thru her head. "If it were not for Briggs, I would of stayed with Isaac." The vixen thought to herself.

"Lisa, I can tell that you're troubled. The league changed in the last one hundred and fifty years. Things are better now, Elise is a descendent of one of the wealthy families that treated the poor like..." Bev is trying to find a word that won't offend Lisa.

"Like dogs." Finished Lisa. "I came from a poor family Bev, I worked very hard to become a pilot for the Air Force. So I can understand the personal from the outer rim worlds point of view."

Bev directed her gaze to Lisa. "That's the reason I like you a lot Lisa. We want to have a normal relationship with the outer rim worlds, but they still have a chip on their shoulder as humans will say."

Lisa laughed at the remark, then the door opened as a male fennec fox with a brown hair human male walked in. Bev smiled at the human, while Lisa got up and hugged the male fox, then started kissing him. "Get a room Lisa." Said the human male.

Bev looked over to the human. "Are you going to give me the same treatment Shawn?"

Shawn walked over to Bev, then started to kiss the female tiger. He felt her hands stroke his hair. Out of the corner of his eye, Shawn saw the male fox's muzzle in Lisa's cleavage. Then the human found his face in Bev's large cleavage. All he saw was white fur and a voice saying. "Let's go to the stateroom, Shawn." He nodded as he's lead away.

Shipping lane, a freighter heading to vulpine prime.

The bridge watch, a male ferret looked at the stars moving slow by the freighter. He sighed because every so often the ships computer shuts off the hyper drive. The reason for this, the navigation computer needs to get a star fix to make any course corrections. The ferret knew the military ships didn't need to do this due to more advanced computers, but the companies that ran the shipping lines didn't want to invest in the more updated navigation computers.

The freighter is the first victim of the LSS Wasp. The league ship flew behind the freighter in it's blind spot, due to the freighter only having forward looking radar. There was a witness, but the witness was a space liner. Before the captain of the SS Emerald of Space, radio what happened, the Wasp attacked it. The last thing the captain did before the atmosphere exited the bridge was launch the distress buoy.

Bev's stateroom, LSS Night wing.

The red strobe light flashed and a two tone alarm went off. Shawn was awoke by Bev jumping out of the bed slipping on her uniform. A voice is saying. "Action stations, action stations, all hands report to their assigned stations." He felt the ship shudder, then he looked over to Bev.

She looked over to him shaking her feline head. "We must be going warp 9.75, the ship's max speed. Something is going on, head to your station Shawn." Bev watched as Shawn slip on his uniform, then leave the stateroom. "I wonder what that traitor done?" The tiger thought to herself as she headed to the bridge.

Star base 908.

Stevenson awoke of the lights snapping on as the female LT. ran in with a message. "Sir, I just got this." She said handing the message. The female wolf looked at the admiral's expression, she shivered.

The admiral's muzzle bared the large teeth, then a rumbling growl came from his chest. He looked at her with his ears laid back. "You're going to send two messages LT... This one to the Night Wing: My orders still stand, I still want him alive if possible. The other one to the OWS Osprey: The LSS Wasp is not under command of the league, it had a mutiny. If it strays in to your space, were not responsible of it's actions."

OWS Osprey pass the border.

Isaac laid back in his chair looking at the view screen. The female cougar at the communications console looked at her unit. "Sir, I am getting a message from Stevenson, but it's for your eyes only."

Isaac scratched his chin shrugging, the tiger got up to the console. He read the message after typing a password. Isaac turned to the cougar. "Is there any of our ships nearby?"

The cougar typed on her console, then smiled. "The Raptor is twenty minutes away sir."

"Hail them, then ask them to rendezvous with us to take our cargo. We got to keep an eye on our border." Isaac said.

"Sir, can't the Raptor guard the border?" Asked the cougar.

"No LT., the Raptor is an older ship, her class can't match a Newport class destroyer. Stevenson just told us that a league ship had a mutiny and it might be heading here. So I am going to keep an eye on our side of the border." Isaac said to his bridge crew. "If that ship crosses our border, the league will get it's ship back, but in pieces. There's no honor in attacking a passenger liner, military men that do that should be shot like a rabid dog." He thought to himself.

Bridge, LSS Night wing.

Carlson hissed when he saw the remains of the two ships. "Any life signs?"

The fox at a console looked at his readings, then turned to Carlson. "Nothing from the freighter, the cargo is intact. There's a few sections of the liner that still have areas of atmosphere. I can't get any life signs, due to the radiation interference from weapons detonation. Sir, they used torpedoes on the liner." He heard a growl, the fox saw Lisa baring her teeth, plus the vixen's muscles were twitching like she wanted to punch someone. Ensign Barrow is one of the few male foxes that talked to Lisa, he liked her, but he's a little scared of Lisa's build. "Save it for that asshole Lisa, don't get yourself in trouble." Barrow thought to himself.

Carlson looked at the burnt liner, thoughts raced thru his head. He had to make a decision. The cougar turned to Bev. "Get some teams together to search for survivors. Maintain action stations, warn any nearby ships."

Passageway, of SS Emerald of Space.

Lisa walked the passageway holding a scanner. She studied her surroundings, the walls are blacken. But there are a few patches that still showed a bright white. The deck still showed a few patches of artwork. "It tears my heart out seeing this liner in this condition. She was beautiful, I've been on it a couple of years ago on leave." Said the wolf on her team.

The team continued to walk the passageway. They saw no one living, then there's a wailing noise. The wolf named Kenny twitched his ears, then shook. He growled. "That's a cub crying Lisa. A new born, maybe a week old."

Lisa felt strange, a different feeling went thru her. The vixen ran to the source of the noise.

A minute later at a cabin, the team saw a wolf couple dead by a beam on them. The wailing is coming from under the couple. Lisa with her team lifted the beam off the bodies. Kenny moved the mother, then saw a gray infant wolf. "They gave their lives to save their cub."

Lisa nodded and picked up the cub. She saw him looking at her with dark blue eyes, then he stopped crying. The vixen looked at her team knowing this is the only survivor in this section of the liner. "Let's go back to the Night wing." Lisa looked at the cub, then at the stateroom number memorizing it. She held the cub carefully looking at Kenny who's grinning at her.

Kenny chuckled bringing his wrist to his muzzle. "Night wing, beam Lisa directly to sickbay, she has a week old wolf cub."

Sickbay of LSS Night wing.

Lisa watched Bev examined the wolf cub. She saw a few wolf crew members looking at the cub. The vixen found out from clothing that the cub's name is Steve. Bev looked at Lisa grinning. "He's fine, but this wolf cub is only seven days old. Steve must have been born on the liner. There's one little problem, he doesn't want you out of his sight." The tiger chuckled.

"What?" Exclaimed Lisa.

"A wolf cub eyes doesn't completely focus till they're seven days old. You're the first female he saw, so he thinks you're his mother." Said Bev with a giggle.

Lisa looked over to the wolves, they're looking at her grinning. She looked at the Steve looking at her with his dark blue eyes. The vixen sighed looking at her best friend. "I hope the replication can make wolves milk because I can't nurse Bev. This is going to be one confused wolf, being raised by a fox vixen."

"It can Lisa, I'll give you some help." Said Bev looking at the cub. "I'll keep him in sickbay overnight. That will give you time to setup your stateroom." She watches Lisa walking out, then Lisa walked to the wolf cub bringing her muzzle close to him.

"Rest now Steve, mommy has to go kick someone's ass. So you be nice to Bev, ok?" Said Lisa, then she leaves sickbay, the cub watches Lisa.

Bev looked at the wolves as they watch Lisa walk away. She looked at Kenny. "Well, what do you think?"

Kenny replied. "She'll do, Lisa might be young, but she acts older then her body."

Star base 908.

Stevenson heard the com chirped at his office. Carlson's voice said. "I regret to inform you that there was no survivors from freighter N569. There was only one survivor from the SS Emerald of Space, a seven day old wolf cub. I am continuing the hunt."

The wolf looked at the com with Carlson's image on the screen. "Keep me up to date, is there a crew member the cub is imprinted on?" Stevenson asked remembering his biology lessons.

Carlson chuckled. "He thinks Lisa is his mother, but she's doing ok for a mom."

Stevenson remained calm. "Alright, keep me up to date." The image of Carlson vanishes, the wolf chuckled. "So Lisa, you have a big responsibility, I wish you luck."

Border, OWS Osprey.

"Greg, come read this message." Said Isaac, looking at the wolf in charge of security.

Greg read the message, the wolf looked at the tiger. "Sir, I hope he crosses our border, I want to teach that Elise a lesson in manners." He cracks his knuckles. "As for Lisa, I have no problem of her taking care of one of my kind. She friends with Stevenson, so that wolf cub will know he's wolf instead of a fox."

Isaac nodded as Greg walked back to his station. "I don't know, I hope the Night wing intercepts that ship. If the Night wing fails, after I destroy the Wasp, I am tearing Elise apart." Isaac thought to himself. "I can't believe my little sister is in love with a human, at least he's military."

LSS Night wing two days later.

Lisa sat at her station looking at the view screen. Her thoughts raced, taking care of a infant is different. Briggs has been a big help to her, due to him helping parents taking care of their infants when he was stranded on the planet Firer. So far Steve has been a mellow wolf cub. The other wolves on the crew give her advice and volunteer keeping an eye on him. Briggs wants to marry her, she told him yes. "That is going to be one confused wolf. His mother a red fox vixen and his father a tan fennec fox. What am I going to tell him when he's older? I'll cross that bridge when I get to it." Lisa thought to herself.

The com chirped, Isaac's image appeared. He looked at Lisa, then grinned. "Lisa, I heard you're a mother. Does crossing a red fox with a fennec produce a wolf?" He looks over at Briggs, who's ears are flushing red. The tiger turns to Bev. "I heard about your human friend little sister, you have my blessing since he's military. As long you're happy, I am." Isaac turns to Carlson. "I am giving you some advice since you were Stevenson's XO. Take the Night wing to that asteroid belt near our border. We use to hide our ships in that before we invented our stealth system. Us people of the Outer rim worlds are a peace loving bunch, we prefer if you catch him. If he crosses our border, you'll get your ship back, but not Elise. He killed seventy of our citizens, that's an automatic death sentence over here Carlson, to be carried out by a ship's captain. I just painted my hanger bay a few weeks ago, so I don't want any stains on it yet. So good luck Carlson, I hope that the information helps you." The image disappears.

Carlson turned to Barrow. "Send a copy of that transmission to Stevenson. Lisa, take us to that asteroid field. Bev you have the con, wake me when we are near the belt." The cougar walks off the bridge. He rests his head on the wall feeling the cool metal as the turbo lift moves. "I can do this, I can do this, this isn't a hard mission. Just remember what I saw my other CO's did in these situations, that's all. Remember what they did, that's all." From that time on, making decisions were much easier for the Night wing's young CO..

Bridge LSS Night wing.

Lisa watched as Carlson walked to the turbo lift. The vixen looked over to Bev doing a movement of her head. The tiger walked over to her. "How's he doing Bev?"

Bev looked over to the lift doors. "He's doing fine, Carlson was thrown a big responsibly and it's taking him time to adjust. As you know, he's in his early thirties and a good officer. That's why Song recommended him, he might be retired, but he still has some push in the league. So I think he'll do alright."

Lisa looked at the view screen nodding.

Four hours later, LSS Night wing's bridge.

Lisa looked at the asteroid field watching the floating rocks. Then she saw the LSS Wasp going by them. "Captain, there she is, one thousand miles off our port bow!"

Carlson looked at the view screen, thoughts raced thru his head. "Hail them, raise shields."

The Wasp turned to the Night wing.

Bridge OWS Osprey.

Isaac watched the two ships thru his view screen. "All right Carlson, lets see how Stevenson taught you."

LSS Night wing.

The ship shook from the impact of laser fire. A console sparked near Barrow, the fox yelled. "We lost forward shields, if we get hit in the front again. That's it for us."

Lisa hit a switch on her helm control, a different set of controls popped up. The vixen grabbed the stick, then moved the levers to max impulse.

Carlson watched as the image of the Wasp disappeared from the view screen. He felt the Night wing shudder and the whine of the impulse engines. The stars streaked in a impossible pattern, then the image of the Wasp appeared a few seconds later. The cougar saw that the Night wing did a impossible maneuver and his ship is heading to the top of the Wasp, with the Night wing doing a corkscrew maneuver. "Lisa, this isn't a fighter." He said as he saw the Night wing's weapons hit the Wasp.

LSS Nasal.

Daniel shook her head when she saw the a league star ship do a hammerhead stall. The vixen turn to her tactical. "The Night wing is distracting them, aim for the nacelles and weapons." The Nasal join in the fight. "I am glad we got that on tape." She said remembering the maneuver the Night wing just did.

OWS Osprey.

"Did we record that? I didn't know a Brisscow class cruiser can do that." Said Greg from his station. "That is one crazy helmsman."

"She's not crazy, that helmsman saved that ship. The Night wing's forward shields were down. We had that helmsman on board not long a go." Said Isaac with a grin.

A female cougar looked from her station. "Sir, the Wasp is dead in space, I getting transporter signals from both league ships. They're boarding the Wasp."

Isaac did a low growl. "We're staying on station, we won't interfere unless they cross the border. Send an update to command."

LSS Wasp's hanger bay.

A shimmer or blue hung in the air as the boarding party appeared. Lisa looked around, then held in her lunch when she saw bodies stacked on the floor. Kenny growled. "Looks like some of the crew didn't want to help Elise."

Lisa looked at the bodies seeing all races of anthro's on the deck. "Set weapons on stun, we're ordered to take them alive." She wrinkled her nose. "Elise didn't do this, they been dead for days."

The party went thru the door as the lights flickered.

Bridge LSS Wasp, ten minutes later.

Elise looked around the bridge, only a few are conscious. They're at the moment trying to remove a large beam pinning him on his chair. A volley of weapons fire hit the crew members trying to free him. There's silence, then padded steps approach from behind. A pair of hands hold his feline head. They run along his muzzle rubbing it. He felt a tongue lick his ear. The scent is familiar to him, a vixen. "Kill me you stinking vixen." The hands hold his head for a second, then turn his head as if to break his neck. They disappeared.

A female voice said. "Unlike you I follow orders, I've been ordered by an Admiral to bring you to star base 908 alive. Sorry Elsie, you're going to see Admiral Stevenson. I am not going to kill you, part of me wants to, but I am not. Transporter room, one to beam to the brig."

Lisa watches as Elise disappeared. She looked around the bridge shaking her head. Kenny walked up to her. "What now?"

She shrugged. "Let's tow this ship to star base 1011, then head to star base 908." Lisa looked at a couple of bridge personal deceased. "What a waste of life, lying here is some mother's off spring." She thought to herself as the matter beam took her off the bridge back to the Night wing.

Lisa's and Briggs stateroom, hours later.

Lisa held Steve feeding him with a bottle. The vixen looked at the wolf cub seeing his blue eyes looking at her. She watched as he fell asleep in her arms. Carlson walked in looking at her. "Lisa, I ran the passenger list on the space liner. That wolf couple are from the Outer rim worlds. There's no record of them, some citizens prefer to be unregistered. So it's either sending him to a home or you adopting him. The league does allow couples to raise families on their ships."

The vixen looked at Steve. "I am adopting him, I am accepting this responsibility. It might be hard at first, but I am going hold my head high and do it." Lisa looked at Carlson.

"All right, I'll start the process. Anything else Lisa?" Asked Carlson.

"Yes, Briggs and I are getting married in a couple of weeks. There's this human tradition of ship's captains doing the ceremony. I was wondering if you..." Asked Lisa looking at Carlson.

"Lisa, the league follows that tradition, I'll be glad to do that for you." Replied Carlson walking out the stateroom. He stops and looks at her. "Thanks for the cryptic advice."

She turned to Carlson. "Glad to be a help, if you want to talk, feel free to stop by. Remember you were Stevenson's right hand man and he talked to you, you always have Bev to talk to." Lisa watches as Carlson walked out noticing that he stood taller. "Well, I think he'll make it." She thought to herself.

A few days later star base 908.

Carlson looked at the base with the red planet in the back ground. He grinned knowing that he finished his first mission as captain of the Night wing, his ship. After talking to Lisa and Bev he felt better bearing this responsibility given to him. The com chirped, then Stevenson's image appeared. "Congratulations on finishing your first mission. I knew you can do it."

"Yes I did, we had a relay malfunction on our forward shields, but everything worked out." Replied Carlson.

"Lisa, I've been watching a recording from the Nasal. It shows a Brisscow class cruiser doing a hammerhead stall." Said Stevenson with a grin. "Right now it's on you tube on Earth."

Lisa looked Stevenson. "I had to do that sir, if we were hit in the front of the ship again. We would of gotten badly damaged."

"I know, I am glad you were flying her at the time." The image of Stevenson turns to Carlson. "Still want this job as ship's captain?"

Carlson looked at the view screen. "I want to keep this responsibility sir, I know it's hard at first and overwhelming, but I am keeping my head high."

"Alright Carlson, I knew you could do it. Send your prisoners to our brig and report to me." Then Stevenson's image vanishes.

Lisa watched as Carlson relaxes. The cougar turned to her grinning. "Lisa, you have the con." He taps his wrist unit. "Bev, report to transporter room one." He walks off the bridge. Lisa stood up and sat on the captains chair looking at the planet Mars.

Eighteen hours later, star base 908 brig.

Elise sat at his cell, his latest thing has failed. Unknown to him, there's a shimmer of blue. A figure walked to his cell. A voice said. "I need a list of names and plans for back up in case something happens to you."

"Sure, I'll tell you. I am glad that we're still active." Elise said a list of names and plans to the figure. "That's all the current plans and members."

Isaac appeared at the cell door holding a recording device. He pocketed the device and drew a weapon. "I knew Lisa won't kill you because she isn't the type, plus she was ordered by Stevenson to bring you to him alive. That vixen follows orders unlike you."

"She's a stinking cowardly stupid vixen. I can't believe the league let's personal like that serve, plus she's to young to wear commander stripes. I would of finished her off if it weren't for Carlson relieving me of command." Said Elise looking at the tiger.

A massive hand grabbed Elise. "You know what, I am the captain of that ship you chase back then. If you would of crossed the border I would of destroyed the Night wing. As for Lisa, she seems pretty smart for a vixen. I liked the maneuver she did with the Night wing, such a shame I had to return her to the league. I would of like to have her a member of my crew, a couple of my wolves, foxes and a ferret were upset when she left."

"You Outer rim worlds personal are nothing but a bunch of Hill Billy's with worn out ships. The Night wing could of destroyed your ship." Said Elise looking at the tiger. "I can't believe Bev is related to you."

The hand tighten, Elise choked. "Elise, Bev is my younger sister. I am glad she's a doctor, I am telling you a few things. My sister is in love with a human male. Briggs is back on the Night wing, plus he's marrying Lisa soon. The reason they're doing that so they can adopt a wolf cub. You killed his parents when you attacked that space liner. Elise, you're charged with seventy counts of first degree murder of Outer rim worlds citizens. Being a captain of the OWS Osprey I am carrying out the sentence of death placed upon you. We of the Outer rim worlds name our ships after birds of prey because our ships are predators. If something threatens our citizens, the birds of prey protects them." Elise sees a flash of white.

Isaac holsters his weapon and looks at the body. He pushes a button on the device on his wrist and the tiger disappears

Five minutes later in stealth mode the OWS Osprey, streaked away from Mars back to it's nest at the Outer rim worlds.

One month later, Lisa's stateroom.

Lisa cleaned Steve as she was instructed by the wolves of the crew. They been a big help on her. She found out that Elise was murdered in his prison cell, and the reading from the security system showed only static. The vixen had an idea who did it, plus Bev. Elise attack on the liner killed seventy people from the Outer rim worlds. Bev told Lisa that she still loves her brother. "He must have been ordered to do it Lisa, because my brother is a nice person. I know he's a laid back, but he's not violent. You don't want to commit murder on the Outer rim worlds, that's why murders are very rare there." Said Bev to her that day. Lisa understood that Isaac must have been following orders. Her being an officer knew that she should follow orders or else.

The vixen looked at the sleeping wolf cub. She placed the wolf cub in his bed, then dimmed the lights. Lisa climbed into bed grabbing Briggs and held him looking at the marriage ring on her left ring finger. The vixen smiled and went to sleep.

THE END (I hope to return to this series in the near future time. I am glad I found this lost forgotten chapter in a memory stick that was sitting in my sock drawer for years. RAVEN FOX)
