Deep Space Vessel Nautica: A New Encounter
Deep Space Vessel Nautica- Unknown Space - 100,000 Light-Years from Citadel Prison
"Cpt. Neesah, I'll be returning to my vessel now. We won't be far away, so, if you need us, just call. We'll come to your aid. My ship would be an Odin Class Ship, if it was a GC ship. After all, it's an Inter Galactic Heavy Cruiser. Just send out a call to Captain Odessi. We'll be on our way shortly. Good-bye, Cpt. Neesah."
"Attention, Captain Neesah. There is something wrong on the ship. Please head to the Medical Bay for an update." "I'll be right there."
A moment later, Neesah had entered the medical Bay to find the Chief Engine Tech lying incapacitated on a cot, under surveillance of the Chief Medical Officer. "What happened to him?" asked Neesah upon seeing him lying there. "I'm not sure, but it appears that he was hit by a super-charged Stun Ray which has made him incapable of waking up. Worse yet, he appears to be having nightmares, but doesn't say anything I can understand. Perhaps it is merely his species native tongue. I may need to update my translator. Captain, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that we have an intruder onboard, probably posing as our Chief Engine Tech. Don't set off the alarm until necessary." (Alarm Sounds) "Too late." "Captain, we have an unknown fighter that just started issuing orders and is claiming to be an Inter-Galactic Patrol Vehicle, we need your decision on what to do." Just minutes later, Neesah was on the Bridge, and had sat down, asking, "What's going on?" "A fighter seems to be trying to order us to-" "Open the docking bay! I have reason to believe a wanted fugitive is on-board your Deep Space Vessel. This is an order. You have entered Inter-Galactic Police Territory, this is my jurisdiction. Do what I say, and your ships will not be damaged or destroyed. You have ten minutes to comply before my backup arrives, if you do not open the bay doors, I will open them myself." "Captain, the ship is by Docking Bay 3 and it is arming its missile pods." "Raise shields." "Raising shields." BOOOOM!! "Too late, Captain." "What was that?!" "An unknown weapon, Ma'am, It appears it was a Decimator Cannon bolt. At only half its power." BOOOOM! "Docking Bay 3 has depressurized! The ship is landing in the third Docking Bay." "Get all unnecessary personnel out and send in the security teams to find both intruders."
"This is the Hangar Security Team, intruder has vanished." "What?! Find him or her and bring them here." "Alright, I've lost the security team and now I need to find that kid. I know he's only 12, but he's still too young to serve time in Inter-Galactic Prison, although The Citadel would probably be easier on him. Oh, hey, here he comes." Said Ios, turning a corner and stopping just as a 12-year-old Wolf Anthro turned the corner at the opposite end of the hall, and came sprinting towards him and turned to look back. "Oof! Owww, who'd I- uh-oh," said the boy, looking up and seeing an 18' tall Dragon Anthro standing in white Hell Jumper Armor reaching down towards him. Ios picked the boy up by the back of his shirt, stood him up, and began dragging him backwards towards the hangar. The thin yet muscular Dragon Anthro easily picked the boy up and placed him in the second seat of the Inter-Galactic Patrol Vehicle, then climbed in, but before he left, he set down a large Armorhide casing containing a disk made of Millennium-X Crystals of many different colors. Ios got in, activated the auto-harness, and flew right out of the hangar as a huge ship, 10 times the size of the Nautica, appeared from a giant portal and pivoted its turrets right towards the two ships as Ios went through a portal to a classified region in a nearby galaxy.
"Ma'am, this is Security Team Alpha! We've found a casing of some kind and are having the Chief Maintenance Tech check it." "This is the Chief Medical Officer. The Chief Maintenance Tech is up and has been checked out, he's heading back to work. Don't worry, he's given me a full account of the incident, to his knowledge, that is." "This is the Chief Maintenance Tech, I've examined the case and its contents and they have been found to be a disc made of an unknown, flawless crystal, 3' in diameter and 10" thick, and a case made of..." "Made of what?" "*Gulp*... Dragon Skin, Captain." "Any fingerprints?" "No, Captain." "Captain, I'm picking up a ship signature on the scanner, it's there, Captain," Says a Crew Member, watching the screen as the ship 10 times the size of the Odin Class ship came close enough for Neesah to read its Designated ID. "What is the Citadel Prison Transport?" "Captain, we're being hailed. And that fighter is back, but it appears to have docked within the Citadel Prison Transports' Hangar Bay." "Bring up the on-screen display, I want to see who is hailing us." "Well, it looks like you finally answered to Inter Galactic Diplomacy. But, where are my manners? I am Captain Viko Kivo Trooper, commanding officer of the Citadel Prison Transport. This is the first time I've-" "Captain Trooper, long time, no see." "Legendary Guardian Ios, I'll just let you two get acquainted." "I'm sorry about the damage to your ship, Captain. It was necessary to do so because I needed to find him before either he or someone else was seriously injured. I would like you to come down to the location marked on the map on the Holodisk. Your ship will be repaired at the space dock there. Then, we can meet face-to-face and talk about what has happened. This is an invitation to a sanctioned Inter Galactic Law Enforcement Agency Landing Zone. During this time, your commanding officers will be contacted; notifying them of the situation and my subordinates at the Inter Galactic Law Enforcement Agency Headquarters will get in contact with the Galactic Confederacy in order to get you and your crew some well-earned off-time. We all need to rest every once in a while, and I'm sure you and your crew are no different. If you will, please come meet me there by yourself. I, too, will come alone."
"Captain, we have a problem." "What is that?" "A pod ma'am, it isn't slowing as of yet, wait, now it's boosters are active, it has entered the already damaged hanger." "Security and bomb squads to the hanger, now!" A while later the Bomb Squad reported in, "We have a powerful living entity onboard, Captain." "In what way?" "It's an ambassador, Captain." "I'll be right there." A while later, Neesah had met with the Ambassador, who introduced themselves as Xyewku Wyvern, the highest ranking Anthro Commando in the Inter Galactic Law Enforcement Agency. "I apologize for the damage my boyfriend did to your ship, but he surely had a good reason, because out here you must be quick, he's a little impatient at times. He's also even-tempered, but can be easily annoyed if you don't comply. I know your diplomatic approach is different from ours, but I know enough to know that Bioponics is where I'd prefer to talk with you, o.k.?" "Very well, follow me. It won't be very long." Soon they arrived in bioponics, and had discussed the incident, Ios, and the boy that he had taken from the ship. Xyewku said, "Ios is not usually like this, he seemed unusually bothered by this kid, though. Just so you know, I believe he's been keeping an eye on you for a while, and the Lizcoons as well." "He has?!" "Calm down, Captain, I'm sure he's not doing it on purpose. Being a Guardian makes him bored, so when he does sleep, and he's been sleeping a lot lately, his mind shows him the most important or interesting things that go on in the galaxy, and he draws quite well, and has been using his skills in art to record every "dream" he's had. Fortunately, it doesn't allow him to enter others quarters or other such places." Soon, though, Xyewku asked Neesah to meet up with Ios, then bid her farewell, teleporting back to the planet Arctica.
"Well, Captain, what are you going to do? Are you going to come with us?" "Yes," said Neesah, "I'll come. But what about the crew, are they free to leave the ship?" "Of course they are! Why not allow them to come along? I will bring twenty, no, make that fifty of my team, Team Shadorus, and you may bring your entire crew, if they wish. Just follow the map in the Holodisk and you'll be there soon."
So, Neesah did as was needed, but, when she was touched the Holodisk, it activated and an image of an Armored Dragon Anthro, a white one, appeared along with a map that also showed the ship, which had literally drifted into the galaxy. "Follow my instructions exactly, Captain Neesah, and we can avoid further damage to your ship." As the Nautica followed the directions given by the Holodisk, it drew close to Guardians' Shrines. "We're here. Soon, you'll be docked at the best repair dock in the Universe." Not long after that, they had docked and Neesah gathered up the crew, and ended up bringing fifty crew members with her.
"I wonder where they are, Captain. I don't see them anywhere." Suddenly, fifty Team Shadorus members appeared from a mirror-like portal, led by the intruder. Neesah angrily growled, "You!" But, instead of answering, I took off my helmet, and powered down my armor which left me in only my Arcticanian Armor with a sword, but made me about 17' tall. "Well, aren't you going to respond?" "If you'll be patient, I will. I'm truly sorry about the damage to the ship, but the Techs will have it fixed, and you seem to need some time to relax. I am the only Dragon Anthro of my kind. I am named Ios BloodBlade, also known as Legendary Guardian Infinity. But, for now, you can call me Arctica, if you wish. I am also known as Legendary Guardian Ios, but that form is a Golden Yellow Dragon Anthro equal to my height. Just for your information, we also use consent here, not because I am a police officer, but because it's just not right to force someone to do what they don't want to do. Neesah, that's your name, correct?" "Yes, it is. Why have you been spying on us?" "It's because of my psychic powers which allow for many different possibilities and I have been following you using them, not in your quarters, mind you, which would be an invasion of privacy. I just like you. But I'm way older than you by Galactic Standard Time. Even so, I could mate with you if you want. Under normal circumstances, any female or hermaphrodite I mate with would get pregnant, but I can select whether or not they do, but only as they wish. You may not have noticed, but we are speaking telepathically, and no one can hear a word we're saying, and I would like to get to know you a little better, if I may. But only if you wish, I won't force you. By the way, my teams' members have weapons for protection and a few have drawn their guns, big nuclear-powered guns, and they are pointed in your direction, but don't worry, I'll deal with it. I can take you somewhere where we can get something that is not alcoholic, like cocoa or coffee."
"Coffee? How'd you get that?" "We grow it. There are also cocoa plants and coffee plants indigenous of only cold climates. I'm not a big fan of coffee, I'll drink it occasionally, but I prefer cocoa. Would you like to get a drink with me?" "I'd love to get a drink, but I have no money." "Don't worry, I'll pay. Are you ready?" "Yes." "Then it's settled," I said aloud, "Show them around and put your guns away. We'll be back." And so, Neesah and I went through a Portal to the Ice Mountain Hotel, where Arborii Dragos Demonos was sleeping on a couch, his fat belly rising and falling as he slept with his tail and lower legs hanging off the end of the couch nearest to the fire. "Hey, Arborii, wake up, I'm here and I'm buying." After I said that, he awoke and said, "Whoa, who's this?" "This is Captain Neesah of the Galactic Confederacy. So, are you going to join us for a drink?" "Are you kidding? I'm in." Turns out the Owner wouldn't let me pay, he insisted on free drinks for us, and Arborii drank thirty mugs of cocoa, while Neesah and I talked our way through just three mugs each; I had cocoa and she had coffee. "So, would you like to mate?" "Are you sure? I mean, you won't get me pregnant, will you? Because, I don't want to get pregnant." "I won't, I promise. On the Guardians' Pact, I promise not to get you pregnant. But, I would like to get some of your DNA, not necessarily blood, although that is the easiest to use." "What for?" "For a clone of you, Neesah. Don't worry, she won't be a replacement of you, and it is purely consent-based cloning." "Very well. What is that?" "Well, it's a watch, DNA storage device, and communications unit. Now, you'll feel a slight pinch." "That didn't hurt much. Is that all?" "Yes, our cloning system takes a very small amount of DNA to clone someone, so that's all. And besides, all I really want to do is mate and not get you pregnant. The clone might let me get her pregnant, but she might not." "I know I would, honey. We made a deal, and I'll stick by you no matter what." "X-Xyewku, what are you doing here?" "I came to meet her. Captain Neesah? I told you I'd see you later. Oh, you don't recognize me. I'm his girlfriend." "So why is he asking to mate with me?" "Because she and I made a pact, therefore allowing each of us to love each other but we can still mate with others. Anyways, I mate with males, females, and hermaphrodites, but, being a Guardian means I can't get sick, and wounds are measured differently. I also don't get sick with "incurable diseases"." "That about sums it up." "O.K. So are you going to mate with me or not?" "So, that's a yes." "Yes, it is." "Alright, follow me." And I led Neesah to my room where we mated, then she showered, got dressed, and we left for the dock, but before we got there, I activated my armor, removed my helmet and gave Neesah a kiss on her hand, which shocked her. "It's a custom, that of the Arcticanian Knights. Males say goodbye to females by doing that," I explained, "Good-bye, Captain. May we meet again someday?" With her ship fixed, she left, and the Intergalactic Units slowly went back to their normal duties. Of Course, most of them returned to the Anthro Units Base. Xyewku and I went back to my Base and Xyewku showed me what Neesah let her have. "She let you have her Form? That's great! But, I'd still like to get this clone made. Hey, where's the DNA?" "I have it. Nuva got it out for me. I'll get her clone made for you." "Not if I yiff it away from you. How about that?" "Okay, but yiff me nice and hard, or, softly, you're choice." After gently yiffing her, I took her and we got the DNA made into a clone of Neesah. "Did Neesah ask you anything?" "Yes, she did. She asked me about my interest in the Lizcoons. I told her I kept having "dreams" about one she knows as Alo'i. And that one of them wasn't good." Then, after the clone was made, I left for the Island Planet in the Badlands, where I met, and spoke to the Lizcoons. It's not too hard when you're a Guardian.
