It was distorted, as if the Captain’s face was pressed against something…Oh. Oh, nite. My face heated, on fire. But, embarrassing or no – I must warn them.“Yes. Excuse the interruption, Captain Kelly? And, uh, Captain Pylar. We must talk.”Heard a muted whispery moan and a deep chuckle. “One of us can talk to you, Empress. The other is quite busy.”I pressed my hand on the door. “Yes. Once again I apologize but it is imperative. It is about my mission, and that the Lucrece are probably right behind us.”The door flew open and I almost stumbled inside. The two women were in various stages of undress, but fully armed with furious eyes aimed directly at me. They were glorious, formidable, each legends in their own right.And that is why I needed them to run.
