Undercover espionage

[Zaphod_the_spacebum 0]

Zaphod sat at the computer terminal in L'riina's apartment in just his boxers. He had used her sign in code to get into the computer mainframe. Working quickly, he typed in several commands. He was using the bar's requisition forms to cover an encrypted program to change several security codes to allow the team to acquire what they needed from the supply warehouse. To the security system the team were just a bunch of workers collecting bar supplies, liqueur, glasses, etc. He looked into the bedroom and admired the young Deltan barmaid sleeping peacefully, covered only by the light sheen of her persperation. A pang of guilt washed over him. He felt guilty about using a night of passion to get the bar's security access codes. But, he was genuinely very fond of the woman. She was beautiful, young, and of course Deltan. He had dated only one other woman from Delta 4. Their veracious sexuality was known throughout the Federation and beyond, on par with that of Orion women. L'riina had turned Zaphod every which way but loose in the last three hours. All he wanted to do now was curl up and sleep. He had asked her to use her account code with a made up story about sending a subspace message to his Caitian grandmother on Ferasia. A horrible lie he knew, but she believed it and gave him her sign in codes. He felt bad about lying, but he would make it up to her before he left the station. He lit up a spiced cigarette and downloaded a series of codes onto a 'borrowed' requisition IL chip. He took the chip and put it in his equipment pouch. Shutting down the terminal, he sat back and smoked. He heard a voice coming from the bedroom.

“Zaphy, where are you?” L'rinna asked.

 

“Sitting our here having a smoke mon cherie.”

 

“Come back to bed kitty, I'm chilly.”

 

“I really need to be going boo.” I have to meet my shipmates.” He heard her humph.

 

“I'm not done with you yet, can't you stay the rest of the night?” She walked to the door of the bedroom, her naked body shimmering in the dim light.

 

All thoughts of the Qob and their mission left his mind, business could wait. He put out his smoke , and joined her in the bedroom. Zaphod purred as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him onto the comfie bed.
