"In Transit"

A Joint Venture of Ayumu Kasuga, Heather Jamison and Christina Nickels

The room hummed much like any do on a starship. Patches of colour and artwork adorned the walls. The room spanned a good length to accommodate the three single beds. Each one with someone sleeping in them. One was waking up.

A jumble of emotions swirled in her head and the feeling like she had been run over by a Klingon targ. Ayumu rubbed her head and blinked her vision still blurry, as she tried to take stock of what happened.

Her vision though eventually refocused, finding herself in a totally unfamiliar surrounding. Looking around, she mentally racked her brain to recall how she got here, when she looked around trying to find where her other cohorts were. "Heather, Christina. Are you guys there?"

"Ugh...," is all Heather said.

Christina could hear something but was unable to comprehend what it was. With her getting more sedative she was having issues comin out of it as fast as the others. She just drifted in and out of sleep.

"Nice to know you guys are still alive" mused Ayumu as she rubbed her head. The room was dark, but by the vibrations she felt below her, she knew that they were in motion. "Ohh... my head... what happened? Where are we?" she wondered aloud.

Heather rubbed her head and hair. "Why to I have such a headache? Wh.. where are we?" She heard Ayumu ask the same question. "Guess we..oh... don't know."

With a wince, Ayumu sat up to get better look. "I can't tell, but anyone want to wager that it won't be long before we find out? "

The room came into focus for the science officer. Room was dark, drab... some artwork on the floor. "Ahhhhh!" Heather frantically turned her hands over and back again. Then she paniced that it was on her arms as well. "Ahhh!"

Hearing screaming, Ayumu turned quickly over at Heather's general direction. "What happened? " she exclaimed. "Are you OK?"

Christina continued to lay on her bed but was able to make a very low audible sound , letting the others know she was still alive. " Uuuhhhh"

"No! I'm not. My skin!" Heather leaps out of bed, luckily in some dark brown robe. "Christina, wake... ahh! You have it too. Wake up!"

Ayumu moved closer to Heather and Christina. Her mouth opened wide. "Oh my God! You're right! You're both green! What's happeneing"

Christina tried to ope her eyes but no use, she just faded back to sleep, thinking this all a dream.

She looks at Ayumu. "Oh, you too!" She turns to Christina. "Are you alright? Hey..." Heather shook Christina to awaken her.

Ayumu Kasuga -> "Whaa-haa! But I don't want to be green!" Ayumu said sadly.

"This dark green looks familiar," speaking to Ayumu but shaking Chirstina.

Ayumu took another look, as she watched Heather try to wake Christina. It does.. I can't quite put my finger on it" she said.

Christina finally opens her eyes only to see a green woman shaking her and another standing near by. 'AAYYYYYKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Christina shuffles trying to get away from the green women. " Get away!! HEATHER, AYUMU!! HELP ME!!"

"It's us!" Heather continued to shout. "Something has happened to us."

"Yes, it seems something turned us into this ghastly green colour. I wish it were a dream as well, but sadly it doesn't seem to be" agreed Ayumu.

Christine stops her struggling long enough to look closely at the two women, one of them holding onto her. "Heather? Ayumu? " Once she realises that is he r companions she settles down and looks at her own arms. "OH dear god, I AM Green."

A hiss from behind them went unnoticed. A tall equaly green woman stood as the door closed behind her. "We all are..." Ayumu stated. Her sentence trailed when she heard the door to their quarters hiss open. (end)

Christina heard the sound of the door and jumped. "What was that?

"We have company" said Ayumu. "Good to see you three awake." The woman's voice as impressive as her stature. The light reflected her green skin tone. "You should be more appreciative of your new colour. It looks good on you all."

"Who are you and where are we?" Christina says almost demanding.

She gave them a wide smile, "Questions questions... so many for three young women needing a lift to somewhere so far." She walked up to the group and gave them a closer look. "Hmm," staring Heather in the eye.

Christina got up quickly seeing the green woman stepping towards her friend. She quickly sat back down when she began to loose her equilibrium and staggers a bit. "What did you do to us?"

"We are making arrangements for your transport to Minos Korva. None of you had enough latinum to make it worth our while, but luckily for you we ran into a snag in our business. A little sprucing up and you three are well on your way to earning your passage."

"Snag," Heather quipped. Ayumu rubbed her chin in thought. "I see. It's awfully nice of you to offer us a lift, despite our lack of financial resources. What exactly do we have to do to earn our keep? I guess our new green appearance has something to do with it?" she asked.

Christina looks to the other two and back to the woman. "That only half answers the question." Not as eager to take the offer of being green.

She eyed Ayumu, "To the point I see. Only a little entertaining and a little dancing. The special guest we have and his other associates can only look, but not touch. Unless..."

"Oh, and to your questiong redhead. The snag is our regular girls are out with a case of the Delvian flu. A nasty strain rendering them unable to perform their duties."

"Unless?" Ayumu didn't like the sound of that, but opted not to explore it further. "So a little song and dance routine and we'll have earned our way to Minos Korva. I knew I should've saved up more Frequent Flyer Miles" "I don't like the UNLESS part myself. That can mean anything." Christina says watching the Orion Mistress. "How can we be certain we will remain safe?"

"Oh since you are doing us a favour we are taking as good of care as any of our girls. Good fresh food, plenty of rest in between sessions. And the 'unless' is only if you choose, but since this is your first time as slave girls I'd not expect anything so daring. We do take a percentage." The mistress smiled and continued to eye each of them. Orion with red hair? Could not be worse than loosing their customer.

Christina's eyes became big. "Slave girls?" she quickly looks between her two counterparts. "what did we get into?" Heather spoke. "I think we are dancers or something. I've heard these slave girls in a...," almost saying Federation, "handbook. We dance for men or whoever will watch to keep them occupied. Right?" Asking the tall woman.

Ayumu wasn't sure what they've gotten themselves into as well. "It's not that we don't trust you but how can we be sure you'll live to your word and let us go at Minos Korva? Sorry for all the questions but it isn't every day we are abducted and turned green" She answered simply, "That's about right sugar."

Then she turned to Ayumu's question. "Hey, it's not easy being green and seductive, but it can be a rewarding lifestyle. And for trusting we will drop you three off at Minos Korva, you have little choice at the moment. Trust me, our girls are pretty top notch save for this flu. We don't want to be paying out for three more dancers."

Christina pops up. "so we ARE SLAVES at this time then."Ayumu shrugged to herself. What the Orion woman said was true after all. "That is true I concede. Well Shikata ga nai (nothing can be done about it). My knowledge of dancing and seduction is admittedly limited but I am a quick learner"

"Oh oh don't you worry your little head. That's a misconception started long ago. If you knew your true history we are really running the show for the Orion Syndicate's so called slave trade. It's the men who are the slaves to our seductions and our pheromones.. which you three don't have. We are working on that."

"What do you mean working on that? I thought only Orions had the ability to produce and ... and well.. you know..." She stumbles searching for the best wording. She continued to answer, "We think we will have a simple hypo spray that can give you that control over men for a few hours at a time. Think of this as an opportunity to show real power over men. Based on looks alone each of you would have a career with us."

"I'm not sure I would like a permanent career in this field. I hope I can dance well enough to pull it off." Christina says, wondering aloud.

To Be Continued in Sim...
