#8 of The Voyage


The Voyage chapter 8 by Shetland and Raven Fox: William and his companions are close home, but they need to do a pit stop. The ship ends up landing on a planet like Earth, but it's different. On this world is What if the colonies at the Americas didn't revolt against England. What if Great Britain still had their Empire and still ruled most of the world. I and Shetland had been talking about the possibility of what our world would be like over some pints. So readers, this is just a story, just fiction of What if? (I did talk to a couple of people from Liverpool and Yorkshire while at Hong Kong when Britain still owned it and they gave me some ideas of What if.)

Three weeks since the events of chapter 7.

William sat at the control room watching the outside of the ship enjoying the view of the thousands of stars streaking by in hyper space. He worked his shoulders working a stiff joint caused by Joan throwing him on the floor earlier today in the workout room. The young human male always did sparing matches with the females of the ship to keep his unarmed combat skills top notch.

Naomi walked in the room hugging him from behind. The gray colored female mink followed the ship during the last jump they did. The computer the ferrets installed only worked once before it malfunctions placing the ship one month of hyper space travel from the canines' home world.

"She just threw away a good career to live with me, why? There must be more reasons, but Riku told me to wait." The human thought to himself as he scans the area around the ship. William knew the mink is one hundred percent straight and Joan is bi-sexual making the mink not wanting to be alone with the feral like vixen sometimes.

"I think she's cute, but she needs to loosen up." Joan said to William a couple weeks ago.

"Give her time; she'll loosen up in time." William heard Riku replied to the vixen. He decided not to get involved.

"A penny for your thoughts hon." The mink said to him licking his ear. Her fine whiskers tickled him making him chuckle.

"Just enjoying the view, on Earth, you had to be a multimillionaire, an astronaut or use Russian terms Cosmonaut to enjoy this." The human said to the mink admiring the feed from the exterior cameras of the ship.

Naomi heard of the different classes of citizens of from Williams' country. Riku the artic vixen showed her some different videos from United States and different countries of how people like William were treated. The vixen showed her some of the security footage of William when he first came on board as a scared timid and emaciated teenager. She shuddered to herself remembering how this young man she knew now has changed. "Dave was the same way from what Cici told me when she and I made our secret meetings." The mink thought to herself. Naomi liked humans, but after seeing news footage of those multimillionaires, she would rather hang out with humans like William and Dave and the members of the furry community.

William noticed the minks' silence. "Are you ok?" He asked her wondering if she will get along with Joan. "I'll have a talk with Joan if you want."

The mink chuckled. "I made it clear of how I felt, she told me that she'll give me my space, she can go as far as giving me a kiss and a hug and that's all. She honored my demands and that little thing is settled. I just can't get to sleep at the moment."

He nodded looking the ships' vitals glancing at the power levels with a frown. "The hyper drive is losing power." The ship shuddered as real space appeared causing William to slide the throttles to sub light.

Riku and Sera ran in the control room rubbing their eyes. Naomi twitched her muzzle smelling a scent from the two canines knowing that they weren't sleeping but doing something else. "What's going on William?" Asked Sera as the anthro sable colored collie looked at the readings from the ship.

William was about to reply when a reddish brown vixen walked in the control room. He smiled to her. "I don't know, the power dropped and the hyper drive quit." The human got out of the chair allowing Sera to take a look of the hyper drive readouts. That system wasn't his specialty, flying the shuttle and fighter craft is more of his thing.

Sera typed on the keyboard, a minute later she sighed. "We have no choice but to find a planet to land on. The problem is external and the EVA suits are passing their inspection date and I wouldn't dare put someone in one of them."

Riku nodded in agreement. "Ok, start scanning for a suitable planet for us to land on. Any idea how long it will take to do the repairs?"

"Anywhere from five days to a week. It's the flow regulator that I half to use the access hatch on the back of the ship to get to. I should have checked it when we were at that space station." Sera replied to Riku with an apologetic look.

The artic vixen patted the collie. "Then we would have had to borrow an EVA suit from the ferrets or have they inspected ours. I should have asked you to check that space while we were there." Riku looked at the crew of her ship. "Alright, Naomi, since there's twenty minutes left on Williams' watches you relieve him in twenty minutes. Do you know of any worlds we can land on?"

"This area is unexplored due to our ships always bypassing this area while jumping. So this area is new to me to, I'll let you know if a suitable planet comes in range of our sensors." Naomi answered watching the vixens' reaction.

Riku nodded and left the control room being followed by Sera and Joan. The mink shrugged and sat on Williams' lap after he sat back on the chair. She hugged him and gave him a kiss. "I am telling the truth, I never been here before. This is a new experience for me." Naomi chirred and pressed her body to the human.

Twenty two minutes later, Williams' quarters.

He laid on the bed letting out a sigh and started to close his eyes. "Aw don't go to sleep yet. I got an itch that needs scratching." Joan said to him wearing the red colored wig and two piece bikini.

The human grinned being glad that his urges and steel hard erection is going to be taken care of. He could lose a couple of hours sleep, because the feral vixen is going to make him tired soon. "I have an erection that needs to be taken care of." William said to her.

Joan purred. "That's alright, Sera has to fix the ship and I'll get rid of that annoying erection of yours'. Such a shame that Naomi doesn't play for the home team, I think she's cute with that fine fur and her slender body."

William kept his mouth shut, the last thing he needs is to get Joan mad at him. He flat out told Joan and the other female canines that he's going to be neutral regarding Naomi's' stance on her sexual orientation. Naomi told everyone that she's straight and the only being she's going to have sex with is William. The human relaxed as the vixen removed her bikini and lowered herself on to his member.

Williams' quarters, a few hours later.

William is shook awake by Joan saying. "William, Naomi is calling us to the bridge. She says that a suitable planet is in range of our long range sensors."

The young human put on his clothing following the feral vixen to the control room.

Inside the control room, he saw Riku and Sera looking at the screen of a planet. Riku turned to him with a surprised expression. "I swear, this planet is a copy of your Earth. There's a single moon orbiting it and....you better look at it." The vixen said to him.

He looked at the screen realizing that Riku is right. The planet in the viewer looked just like Earth and according to the mass readings; the planet is a carbon copy of Earth. William operated the zoom feature concentrating of the land mass that looked like the United States. A moment later he gasped at a flag flying from a government building.

Sera looked at the flag recognizing it because she knew the flags of Earth countries. "Is that the flag of Great Britain flying at a city in the U.S.A.?"

William nodded looking at the Union Jack flying on a flag pole. "I have a friend in school asking some teachers of what if. What if the colonies didn't have the revolution against Great Britain and the British still have their empire and the United States didn't exist? We're about to find out when we land on this planet."

"What was the cause of the American revolution?" Asked Riku looking at the people walking around the streets.

"A series of events, there were a lot of reasons. One of the causes was the colonies weren't allowed to have a representative in parliament and how a king ruled Great Britain. I wish I had a history book so I can study the reasons, but I heard so many different reasons." The human said studying the people on the streets and then he saw anthropomorphic beings walking with the humans. "Ok, I may be seventeen, but I knew a few British furrys that would love to be on this planet."

Later on as the ship went closer to the planet, Sera zoomed on a display showing the date. "Sept 16, 2012?, that would be the date on Earth now." The collie said to the young human.

William looked at the date and looked at the readings off the scanners and exclaimed. "Riku, I am getting a reading from the moon."

The artic vixen typed on the keyboard and the image showed the surface of the moon. She stared at the small city on the lunar surface examining the buildings being connected by transparent tubes. At the outskirts of the city, mining operation is being conducted. She looked at William who has a surprised look on his face. "What can they be mining?"

The young human looked at the operation thinking. "Any type of mineral that's not on Earth. I heard of various minerals discovered during the Apollo 15 mission and that lunar base is near where Apollo 15 landed at. I think we better cloak the ship because something tells that the British might have better space surveillance than us colonials." William said looking at the mining town with interest.

Riku nodded and gave the order to Sera. She looked at the planet getting closer and gazed at the moon as the ship passed by it. The vixen turned back to William. "You know that operating the cloaking device drains power very fast. We will half to get minerals here and the only place on Earth that has what we need is at Australia. I noticed you're very smart for your age and you know what the country was when the British ruled the world." Riku saw the human nodding.

"Australia was a prison colony and since there's no United States. I think the land down under is still under British rule. Any suggestions of where we should land? I won't land this ship in middle of a prison colony and we better be careful because since there is no United States, there are no liberals." William said to the vixen doing a slight grin.

Naomi watched with interest as the planet grew closer. The mink felt the ship changed course as it avoided a small craft going to the moon. She looked at the readouts on the screens watching as the collie studied the data.

"I think the best place to land is at the Yorkshire Moors at Great Britain." The collie said to the group who looked at her like she's crazy.

Joan exclaimed. "Bad idea, it will be like landing on the minks' home world uncloaked." The vixen saw a smirk on the minks' muzzle. "Like trying to land at Washington D.C."

William snapped his fingers. "That's a great idea; a friend of mine went there a year ago before the school year started. Miles of open space with the nearest town being miles away. We can go to a polar orbit and approach the country from the East. The place is at the Eastern part of the country, most of the large cities are at the Western part."

Riku nodded looking at the youngest member of her crew who came on board being scared of both her and Sera, plus scared of his own shadow. The vixen noticed the changes when Joan shot him down on the feline's planet when he was missing for almost three months. He was flying the shuttle and the shuttle crashed on the planet and he was drafted in to the feline air force due to a civil war going on at one of the countries. Then later on after that adventure, the human started to get ill and started to have spells of him passing out. Before they were to put him in a status chamber, the ship was captured by the ferrets and William was taken off her ship by the minks. Now one of the minks is a new addition to her crew along with a very high tech fighter. After the mink joined her crew, Riku ordered the fighter placed at the storage area of the hanger due to it being the only one of its kind. She doesn't want the risk the irreplaceable fighter. "He's right, which will be a good place to land."

Yorkshire Moors, Great Britain.

Trina strokes her long medium brown hair gazing at her partner Trish. Trish is a brown and gray colored female anthropomorphic wolf. Gays have their own place at a southern island of Wight from the British Isles. They're allowed to visit the capital of the British Empire that spans over half of the world and part of the moon. She looks up in to the night sky looking at the moon that's full tonight. "On the surface is my abusive father serving a life sentence of mining the minerals the empire needs. I bet right now he's in his cell looking at the Earth." The human female thought to herself and a hand caresses her cheek.

"What's wrong hon?" The wolf asks the human female.

"Just wondering what my dad is doing right now on the moon." Trina answered giving the wolf a kiss on the muzzle and strokes her long brown head hair.

The wolf was about to reply with the wind started to blow hard. She held and shielded the human female from the flying debris. A minute later the wind died down with parts of the moor ground foliage being flatten. Trish walked toward the flatted area keeping Trina behind her.

The human female walked behind Trish holding on to the wolf as they approach the area. She noticed that parts of six hundred feet of the foliage flatten by something big. All of a sudden there's a flash and a large black shape appeared causing both females to scream.

A ramp lowered and an artic vixen walked down seeing the wolf and the human female. She yelled something to the inside of the ship and another vixen appeared with an anthro sable rough collie. The three females walked up to Trish and Trina.

Riku saw a human female with long medium brown hair and green eyes gazing at her. She looked over to the female wolf admiring her athletic build. The artic vixen being bi-sexual knew a couple of gay females when she saw them, by their body gestures and the way they're acting.

Trina felt a little jealous when the vixen gave that look to Trish. "Is she checking out my lover?" The human female thought to herself and saw the other reddish brown vixen looking at her. She felt herself blush and looked at the vixen looking at her thinking that she's cute because of her slim body. Trina heard the reddish brown vixen say something to the artic one with a series of sharp barks and fox yells making the white vixen chuckle. Then two more people walked out of the black colored ship, a male human and a female gray colored mink with red colored head hair.

William saw the stand off between the female canines with the human female and female wolf. The young human stayed back and saw Naomi doing a look at the human female and wolf making sigh to himself. "I think she can smell gays, but I'll have a talk with her later. She got to learn to tolerate them and just settle down, but Riku told me to keep mouth shut for now." He thought to himself as Riku walked up to the wolf.

"Sorry for scaring you, our cloaking device just quit and we need to get some stuff to repair it." Riku said to the female wolf.

Trish nodded looking at the artic vixen looking her over. The female wolf looked at the other vixen who is looking Trina over with a twinge of jealousy. "I admit, my human is a cute human." She thought to herself and asked to the artic vixen. "So, what do you need for fixing that cloaking device?"

Minutes later, going down the road.

William sat in the left hand side of the MGB car while Trish drove the car at the right hand side. The human was excited when he saw the early seventies British sports car painted British racing green which is one of his favorite colors. He remained quiet for a minute and asked. "So what is this world like?"

The wolf is silent for a moment and answered. "It's not real bad living on this planet. My kind is treated well by the Empire."

"Over at my world, your kind is legends and people write stories about them." William said to the wolfess.

"Don't you have females having relationships with other females?" Trish asked William.

William chuckled. "Even at my world some women have relationships with women. We even have men doing the same thing, I was friends with fellow who loved a blonde guy and for some reason, his partner was jealous of me being friends with his lover."

The wolfess chuckled turning the car left to go down a different road. "I don't get jealous; I admit I was when I saw Joan checking out my partner Trina." She replied to the human triggering a chuckle from him.

William looked the wolfess over checking out the different shades of brown on her gray pelt and looked at her large breasts being contained by a brown sleeveless shirt. "I wish she was bi-sexual like the female canines on the ship." He thought to himself ending the conversation.

At the canine ship workout room.

Joan finished doing her last chin up on the bar exhaling the breath she was holding. The feral like vixen dropped herself on the floor and stretched herself. While she was bending over, a hand touched her. "What do you want?"

Trina looked the vixen over with a grin. "I done a few vixens, plus an artic like Riku before I meet Trish, but I never seen one like you before. One other thing, I noticed you looking me over."

"I must admit of being bi, but I never made love to a human female due to them feeling revulsion of doing a female like me." The vixen said to the female human.

Trina gently pushed the vixen to the wall and kissed her. She stroked Joans' muzzle smiling at her gently removing the vixens' clothing. "How about I be your first, me and Trish aren't mated, plus we can have fun with different partners. So how a bout you lay down on the floor."

Joan shuddered with excitement and lay down on the floor. "What a bout Trish and my crewmembers?"

Trina pulled down Joans' shorts seeing her canine vulva. "Trish will be gone for a couple of hours and that cute collie is working in the engine room. The very cute artic is taking a nap and now we can have fun. That frigid mink is at another stateroom doing something. I must admit, you're different and this is going to be new to me."

Joan looked at the human female chuckling. "Just do it to me like Trish and any other female. I had to teach Sera when she first saw me unclothed." The vixen sighs with pleasure as the human female started her love making talent. "Wait till I make you kiss my abdomen my female lover." She thought to herself resting her head on the floor feeling the human female making love to her.

A vacant stateroom.

Naomi sighed reading a tech manual of the ship. She saw the human female walk to the work out room following Joan. "Well, they should have sent Joan with that wolf. I'll just stay here till William gets back. Due to the sexually of our guests, I won't half to worry about that wolf making a move on him." The mink thought to herself doing a chuckle.

A few hours later, control room of the canine ship.

Riku looked over to the personal crowding the small control room. William just gotten back with Trish is now standing by Naomi and Joan. Trina is with her female wolf partner talking to her doing a glance over to Joan and the wolf is doing a curious look over to the vixen. Sera is wondering of what has been going on while she was working on the cloaking device.

William started the discussion. "I did do some inquiries and looking around. A few British friends of mine would love to settle here due to the country being different. The only name brand vehicles are British name brands. The motor cycles are only two brands: Triumph and Matchless. Automotive brands are MGB, Triumph auto, Austin, with a side brand called Stag and Rolls Royce. There are two brands of aircraft I recognize, Vickers and Hawker Sydney. A few people I talked to say there are a couple more, but I forgot them. Just looking at the sights was pretty neat." He saw Rikus' impatient look. "Oh sorry, Australia is the secondary prison colony. The worst criminals get sent to the moon for the rest of their life or they die in an accident. They mine all type of minerals on the moon and have two cities on the lunar surface. In one month, they're going to launch a mission to the planet after this one from lunar orbit."

Riku nodded and looked over to Trish. "Anything else to add?"

The wolfess shook her head. "Everything is as your crewmember said. Getting exiled on the moon for life is the worst punishment you can get. Ever since a manned moon mission discovered the minerals on the moon back in 1970, the Empire just started sending the worst criminals to the moon for life to mine for them. Instead of being in a nice cell all day, you're in a space suit mining in a dark mine hoping that your suit doesn't get ripped open by another inmate."

The artic vixen saw a shock look on Sera. She knew that the collie is what William will call a liberal. "What will happen if I send William with Naomi over to Australia?"

"Why nothing at all, some males do have relationships with people like you. Minks are common and she will be a better choice than you and the others. You and Sera will draw attention making the inmates watch you. There has never been a collie sent over to the Australia prison colony and artics are very rare." Trish looks over to Joan looking her over. "What ever you do, don't send her over. She'll even draw the attention of the governor running the prison because I heard some stories about that chap."

Riku looked over to William and Naomi. "It's settled; tomorrow night, you and her will fly over to the land down under and get us some minerals to refuel the ship." She looked over to Sera and Joan. "You two will start repairs on the hyper drive."

Trina looked at the artic vixen. "Can I help out?"

Riku looked at the human female looking at Joan. "Alright, just keep this sighting to yourself and Trish."

Joan shrugged and followed Sera to the outside with Trina following them.

Riku looked at the wolf staring at her. "Anything you want?"

Trish grinned a wolfish smile. "I never did an artic."

The vixen grinned. "Well let's go over to my quarters and have a talk."

TO BE CONTINUED ON CHAPTER NINE.

Bonus short story:

Meeting Cici by Raven Fox: I've been getting Pm's from different members from Sofurry to write a story with Dave meeting Cici. It seem that their relationship reminded of them with an older story I written over four years ago titled I love you Kathryn.

Rock Springs Wyoming, June 2010. Two years before the events of the Voyage.

Walking East along I-80 Dave walked with a pack on his back. The sixteen year old human male just ran away from another foster home. "Didn't like the hitting or their gay son having his way with me." He said with a shudder while adjusting the pack. "Just get out of here and find somewhere else to live at.

Low Earth orbit.

The sleek black colored ship adjust course to avoid detection. In the control center the gray and white colored ferret looked at his readings. "Ok, for this trip, let's check out the middle of the United States this time."

The pure white female looked at the male with her pink colored eyes. "I agree Sid, this area is called Wyoming and we never visited it yet and according to what I heard, neither have the minks, weasels and the rats."

Sid nodded. "Alright Cici, we'll check this state out and see what we can find."

Cici typed on a keyboard and looked at her monitor. "I think I've found someone, looks like a runaway."

The male ferret nodded and adjusted the controls of the ship. He saw a male human walking down the freeway with a back pack. Sid watched the human for a few minutes and replied. "Alright, we'll pick him up tonight and give him the offer."

Cici nodded and smiled, she was told that she can pick this human out if she wanted him.

That night, miles East from Rock Springs.

Dave unrolled his sleeping bag and crawled in to it to fall asleep. Minutes later, a bunch of figures picked him up in the sleeping bag and grabbed his pack. The human will never see the state of Wyoming again along with the foster parents with their son.

Hours later, ferrets ship.

The first thing he saw is a white colored anthropomorphic female ferret looking at him with pink colored eyes. Dave noticed that he's in a room with him on a bed and the female ferret sitting on a chair staring at him. Clearing his throat, the human asked. "Where am I at and I admit, that's the best fur suit I seen."

Cici chuckled knowing that this human might be a furry. So she decided to have fun with this one. The ferret stood up and walked to the bed.

Dave just found out that this is a real anthropomorphic female ferret. He watched as she unzipped her uniform showing a white bra containing medium size breasts. The human watched as the ferret undid the bra and grab his hand making it stroke her breasts.

She chuckled at the surprised look on the human. "My name is Cici; I am a real athro female ferret. Our race doesn't have that many males and sometimes we visit the planet Earth and give any runaway the offer." The ferret said to the human adjusting her bra and zipping up her uniform. "So human, do you want to live with us?" Cici asked Dave stroking her long white colored head hair.

The human blurted out. "Sure, I'll go live your kind if there are other humans. The place I ran away from, I was physically abused and plus sexually by an older male human. Do to my foster mother not believing me of what her son was doing to me, I have no interest in human females, plus my name is Dave."

Cici contained her anger at the mention of a male forcing another male to submit to his advances. Her race tolerates gays, but there are rules, the sex between the same sexes must be consensual, not forced. "Well Dave, lets take you to the infirmary and have them check you out. Is their anything wrong with you I should know about?"

Dave decided he can trust this ferret. "I am wearing contacts due to very bad eyesight and I am shitting blood." He saw a flash of anger on the ferrets' pink colored eyes.

Hours later, the ship infirmary.

A male gray and black ferret looked at Cici and over to the human sleeping on a bed with his eyes covered by a bandage. He sighed. "Alright, I reconstructed the lenses and corneas in his eyes, he now has 20/20 vision. I found his large intestine perforated near the rectum. It wasn't torn by a human penis, something was shoved in there. He would have lasted another couple of days before he would have gotten very ill. I cleaned the entire bowel at the area and repaired his large intestine. That human needs to see me a few more times because I got to reset and repair some bones that were not healed right." Mc coy took in a breath in and released it slowly. "I would love to have a few minutes alone with the bastards who did this to him."

"Take a number doc." Cici said in a menacing tone. "Any idea how old he is?"

"He's sixteen years old, but he's in not in the best of health. That human needs time to heal and get some muscle on his body, he almost emaciated." Mc coy said to Cici and he looked over again to the blonde hair human asleep. "I'll keep him here overnight and tomorrow evening you can take him to your stateroom. The other five humans we picked up are in good health, two of them needed some dental work and another needed his eyesight corrected. You can choose one of them instead of this young one who needs more medical treatment."

Cici shook her head and looked at the sleeping form of Dave. "No, I am going to chose him. We have a few things in common, we both have been abused and I know how it feels to be by yourself because people don't like you." She remembers how it was for her growing up because she was an albino.

The next night, Cicis' quarters.

Dave is checking out Cicis' stateroom liking it. He felt something stir inside him when he first touched the anthro female ferret. The doctor who treated him told him the age of sixteen is like the age of eighteen on Earth. Dave grinned to himself knowing that he's counted as an adult in his new situation. He found out that Cici is twenty years old and he didn't give a dam. She reminded him of an older girl that was living at a foster home he was living in. The girl was kind to him and treated him like a younger brother. But she was adopted and he ended up at that family in Rock Springs Wyoming getting beaten up and raped by an older human male.

Cici walked the passageway to her stateroom with excitement. She was told by the doctor that Dave has to learn to trust males again. The ferret told her that Dave insisted that a female doctor examine him. "He needs to see a shrink when we get back to our world. I'll give you the contact info for a female one I know." He said to Cici a few minutes ago.

The young human heard the door cycle open letting the white female ferret. He saw the dark blue uniform hug her curves and he looked at her eyes that are different shades of pink. "So, what do we do now?" Dave asked the ferret.

She shrugged and smiled. "If you want to mate with me, I half to give you a drink. Mating with one of us with out the drink causes exhaustion and a two day coma. Due to your recent trip to the infirmary, I highly suggest the drink." The ferret goes to a cabinet and takes out a can and looks at him. "Are you sure you want to mate with me?" Cici asked Dave.

The young human looked at the white colored female ferret and answered. "Uh yes, can you show me how to do it because I never slept with a female?" Dave answered with a hint of embarrassment.

Cici placed the can near the human and stroked his cheek. "Sure, I'll show you, just lay on the bed and I'll do all the work." She gives him a kiss and removes her uniform.

He removes his clothes letting the ferret push him on the bed. Dave watches her as she removes her clothing and underwear giving him a view of her white furred body. The young human accepts the drink draining its contents and places the empty can on a nightstand. He remains still as Cici climbs on his body and smells a rodent like smell from the ferret. Dave fells his heart race as she positions herself on his body. The young human looks down watching Cici lower herself on his member. He sees the light pink vaginal lips touch the head of his penis feels them part and watches as it slides inside the ferret.

Cici looks at Daves' expression as she felt his member slide inside her. The ferret lays her slim body on the human taking a closer look at him. She strokes his blonde hair gazing at his green eyes. Cici gently hugs him feeling him tremble and pushes his face to her breasts.

Dave recovers from the shiver and relaxes as the fine fur touches his face. He remains still feeling the softness of the ferret and feels her hands stroking the back of his head. The human hear a strange sound like a gargled shriek from the ferret and she starts doing her motion faster.

Cici replies. "That's the reason for the energy drink."

The human grins as the ferret makes love to him.

The next morning, Cicis' stateroom.

Dave wakes up with a white furry arm draped around his body. He opens his eye seeing the ferret against him naked. The human male looked at her against him sleeping peacefully and wondering what he going to do with his life.

Day at the beginning of chapter 5.

Inside a control room of a ferret ship.

Dave followed his shift boss Silva and his trainee Cid. It took a month before he started to trust males again. Cici had a friend on a ship that needed a guard due to one getting ready for retirement. The young human enjoys the job given to him almost two years ago.

"Dave, an unknown ship has just entered the range of our long range sensors. We've been ordered to intercept and capture. It came from an area that's unexplored." Said Silva looking at the readout.

Dave looked at the image examining the vessel. He other than look at furry websites read Wikipedia online. The vessel in the image looked like a U.S. Navy Virginia class attack submarine that has been flattened. "What is it?" The human asked question ally.

Silva chuckled to himself. "It looks like a class of ship we built one hundred years ago. If you want to see one, you'll half to go to the weasels' home world. That won't be possible till that war is over."

The human nodded as he felt the ship tilt and the compensators adjusted the gravity.

Minutes later, canines' ship.

Dave stood still watching an artic vixen talk to a reddish brown one. He remained quiet looking at the two vixens and guarding them. Silva told him to watch them as he checked on the human passenger with Cid.

"Something is familiar about this guard." The artic vixen said to the other one who is staring at him. "Something is wrong about him..."

"He has no tail, he's human!" The reddish brown vixen shouted. "What's your name and where are you from."

Dave sighed removing his helmet.

"My name is Dave; I am from a place called Rock Springs Wyoming. Don't worry about your friend, these ferrets will make him better. They're a nice race, but the minks like to cause trouble once in while." He's interrupted by a commotion from outside the control room making him put his helmet back on with an index finger at the front of the helmet.

The collie walked shouting. "He's gone; someone has taken William from medical!" She shouted looking at Dave standing nearby.

And we know what happens next RAVEN FOX I hope you readers enjoyed this short story. I'll be starting on chapter nine in a couple of days.
