Astra Pt. 02

Jack looked over, "Carol, your shuttle is rated for landing in a city, right?"

She nodded, "Yes, why?"

He looked at her, "Because we are going to make a trip, just the two of us. After I get out of this armor and get the bullets out of my legs."

Carol looked at Jack, "Are you crazy? You just got shot."

He nodded, "Yes to both."

The ladies giggle but it was a nervous giggle. Ash got them landed in the bay like a pro. Jack looked at her, "Don't forget to log those hours and apply for your license and name change. You should have enough stick time for level 3 and possibly your level 2 pilots license in this era."

She nodded "Your wives got together today and sent in and received updated ID cards. Grace took care of the legality of the marriage issues as far as licenses and such. She has ensured all future wives have a license to marry you. I applied for and got my class 2. Enough to fly everything you have. Thanks for that by the way."

He nodded, "Next we turn you into a test pilot." She smiled big at that.

He looked over, "Grace you got parts to pick up. After you get them, pull away from the dock and wait near Terra-4 and wait for us to return. Aiko, I want you to guard the main hatch. We have weapon systems to help out just get stragglers. Tim, Sarah, and Ash. I want you in EVA suites observing the cargo going into the cargo hold.

Ash if you need assistance with the docking ask Astra. Remember it is on the bottom of the ship. Sarah that is if you are healed enough to EVA. Else get Sprits involved. She should do it instead. You sit second chair with Ash on the dock. Have Holly go with Grace. Both armored this time. Aiko, go with them instead. You are much better with a sword. If asked let them know of what happened in Dallas.

Astra, I need you to let me know when the ship is docked and I want to talk through the PA system announcing I am going from medical to my workshop on deck 6. Any spies will assume I am still on the ship. Scan anything coming toward the ship for explosives and tracking devices. What is going on with the state of emergency?"

Astra giggled, "The president had the Global Bureau of Investigations and 3 teams of Special Forces at the Congressional Compound as you started your press conference. As soon as we sent the files, he ordered the arrests and detention of all members of Congress. Four were detained for questioning only. They escaped the purge. President instituted clauses of the global charter with the approval of the courts to dissolve Congress and have a special election in 3 months' time."

They stopped in medical and stripped him out of his armor and clothes. They pulled bullet, bullet fragments, and pieces of his armor out. Astra pointed out, "These bullets were covered in a toxic poison. Your body seemed to repel it. Sarah was in shock at seeing him naked. More so when Ash began sucking his cock. She stopped and looked at her, "I still owed him one for a fuck session earlier."

She went back to sucking while Doctor Carol looked over her wounds and checked toxicology. Jack released like a fountain and caught Ash off guard. She twisted his sack and put pressure that forced his release. She got it in her mouth, eyes, up her nose, hair, and all over medical as she backed away blind. Sarah stared in shock as to how much he pumped out before going semi-soft. She looked at the doctor, "This is because of all those procedures they did to his sack and cock?"

Astra smiled, "Yep he is a regular cum fountain."

Astra went over and sucked him clean and cleared the table with her mouth. She popped up, "Only manages to save 9ml after purification from that but that is two more samples." She did the same to Ash. "Added another 7ml after purification. Another 4 samples instead."

Jack laughed, "Send all samples on hand to the sperm bank. The people can decide if they want alien DNA in them or not."

She nodded. He got up and the cleaner bot ran over the surface before Sarah took the table. The doctor had to cut her open to get some clothes out of her but it healed quickly enough.

She nodded, "No signs of toxin in your clothes or skin. I think they saved those for Jack. Jack got to his room to get dressed to see a heated discussion about wives vs. candidates over Jack's safety.

He called out, "Enough ladies. My safety is my business. You have your right to be concerned to voice your concerns to me. But you will not manage me."

He sighed. "Unless I am unconscious, handcuffed, or under some other physical or mental restraints."

He broke the tension as they started giggling at him. He went and got a new uniform on and headed to the shuttle bay, "Astra in my messages did I ever get one from Francine Jericho?"

Astra replied, "Yes it was in the first round of rejections. For obvious reasons."

He nodded, "Show it to me."

He looked it over and she was looking for someone adventurous, she had her Master's degree in engineering but was having issues pushing through the 'old boys club.' She even had 2 years as an engineer aboard a scout vessel for her mandatory 2 years. She Especially had problems with the owner's son. He chuckled as he read it.

He thought how funny that conversation was going to be. Then he thought again "Astra ask Doctor Carol to get as much of her research that she has ready to send off to her peers for an initial early draft review. They might suggest some changes or additional tests she might want to consider. Did she order her lab equipment?"

She laughed, "Grace took care of that for you. It will be with the engine housing. Along with a few other surprises."

Astra called out, "I thought she was going with you."

He replied, "Change in plans. Something about my safety."

He powered up Merlin. As Ash and Sprits jumped in. He waved Ash forward, "You got your license, you fly."

She nodded, "With the name change."

He nodded, "You take us out, head for Japan. I will spend some time filling up Sprits."

She smiled, "Here she thought she wouldn't be useful on this trip."

He took her in the back while Ash flew. He stripped down and she did as well. He put all their clothes in a bag. He pulled out a tube of lube and shot half of it into her ass. Then stored it. "For later." She laughed as he picked her up and lowered her down on his cock until he was balls deep into her tight pussy.

She rode him slow. She smiled, "I just wanted to spend time with you. You've been running around with so much on your mind." He thought out, "Astra, tell all the ladies they better decide on their engagement and wedding rings so I can pick them up while I am out."

She laughed, "Grace ordered them, the new ladies have been ordered since last night and they will be at the station waiting for us. One of those surprises."

He looked at Sprits, "Grace really is too good for me. She picks up all the pieces from what I start."

Sprits nodded, "She is good at it though. I spent time with Astra going over your communications array."

He nodded, "All ready to go to work when we go out engine testing?"

She nodded, "Yes, I am looking forward to the journey. A time where the outside world is not coming down on us. I was scared to death you got killed. There was a news shuttle filming the whole thing! One of the minor stations that got blocked out of the meeting."

He shook his head, "I will have to do something while we are out." He sped up on her and she smiled, "Come on stuff me, fill me up. Show my pussy what you are made of."

He laughed and took her to the ground and pounded the fuck out of her while she wailed her climaxes. He held back for another 5 minutes before unloading into her cunt. He kissed her tenderly, "You just needed a good pounding."

She breathed hard and worked to catch her breath, "You delivered that."

He pulled out and got on one knee and near her side so she could suck him hard. He whispered to her, "Your pussy is going to be jealous about how hard I am going to pound your ass. She moaned out as she squeezed her leg together and climaxed from one of her wandering fingers and his dirty talk.

He was hard enough and she got on her knees and held onto the arms of one of the seats. He slid the head of his cock into her vise and they both moaned as he got the head in with no preparation. He then gave her his length a third at a time before hitting the bottom. She squirted on the floor when she climaxed.

He then took it to fast and frantic with one hand roughly handling one of her breasts and the other on a hip. He switched sides so both breasts got his attention. Then he grabbed her hips and fucking jackhammered her ass until he exploded into her 10 minutes later. Her arms were like jelly as she slid her face up onto the seat. She looked back at him, "I don't think I will be walking when we get there."

He laughed, picked her up and took her to the throne. This craft had soap and water dispensers so he cleared up his cock good while she emptied her orifices into the toilet. She looked up, "It's more fun when one of the ladies is there to suck it out of my pussy afterward."

He nodded, "I like watching you ladies do that. It is like they are doing you and me at the same time."

She laughed at that. He helped her to her feet and back to the room and gathered their clothes. He dressed and she procrastinated. She looked at him, "Where are we going?"

He smiled, "I got a lady to see about a rejection letter."

She nodded, "You are not changing your mind about this one?"

He shook his head, "There were two I wanted to visit. Starting with this one."

He went up and took the second seat, "We cleared into Japan?"

She nodded, "They want to know where we are headed. "He nodded, "Tell them Treven Engines. I will take the stick; I know the way."

She spoke to the tower via a headset and got clearance as the approved glide path showed up. They were along the outer edge of Japan on land reclaimed from the ocean over a century earlier.

They had the largest facility along this section of coast with a dozen landing pads, not counting the ones by the hangers for battleship installations. He saw a pad he knew was for a VP of the company but he took it anyway. He looked at Ash, "Get the blonde at the company president's desk. Tell her some guy who is not a VP just landed in a VP spot and wants to talk to her."

She nodded, "You need an hour alone?"

He shook his head, "5 minutes if that."

Ash walked away, "We will see!"

He sighed, "Astra ensure the craft is secure from eavesdropping."

She sighed, "I know what you're doing. Be careful."

Aiko walked the blonde in and she looked at Jack, "You're here!"

He patted a seat. He smiled at her, "You were one of the ladies with a brilliant destiny ahead of you. I wanted to let you know that because I want you in the meeting I have with your bosses. I am going to touch upon a part of that destiny while in there."

She nodded, "You think you can get me through the old boys club?"

He nodded, "I know you succeed at it before. Let us go inside. Take my arm and we will help speed it along."

She smiled. "Why thank you. Ash and Sprits are two of my wives."

She nodded, "Lovely ladies."

Sprits smiled, "You are one smoking hot lady."

She laughed, "Careful flattery will get you everywhere."

Jack chuckled to himself. He walked through the building with engineers and mechanical drafters all stopping to see what was going on. She led him to the office and right inside where he was talking with his son.

He looked over and saw her on his arm, "Don't tell me you're taking her away?"

He could see her future husband getting a little bit jealous. Jack smiled, "Only if you fail to see the talented lady she is."

He nodded, "We know she had the talent it's just finding a position for her."

Jack smiled and looked around. "Astra clear this office of listening devices." He heard pops and snaps from around the room. Astra laughed, "I don't know who wasn't trying to listen in 18 devices and two pen cameras ready for recycling."

He smiled, "Thanks, Astra. Gentleman, we were talking about this lady's future, I know she is a talent that helped to keep your business going even when GS was pressing down hardest."

He unhooked her arm and walked over toward a window. "Earlier today I was shot, some of the bullets they used were toxic. My body handled that. One of the shooters was my great grandfather 6 times removed on my father's side. He had associations with the Admiral I brought down."

The owner looked at Jack, "Your own family, unknowingly tried to kill you?"

He nodded, "I did not shoot I was shot multiple times but that was why I had on body armor. You take out a lot of big and powerful men and they tend to strike back."

He nodded. "I stopped in to get a tour with this lovely lady and your son."

The owner looked at Jack, "Why those two?"

He smiled my fifth-generation grandparents on my mother's side."

She looked shocked, "You're my grandson?"

He nodded, "I studied a lot of your work for this company. I took the last engine designs you worked upon and completely re-engineered it. No schematic in Astra's database matches it. I figured you and your future husband who seems to have a hard time realizing being a pain in the ass to a lady is the wrong way to win her heart.

You were and I hope you keep it, scheduled to marry in 1-2 years. I got to keep some surprises. I don't do this lightly because of the timeline discussion I had."

She nodded, "Thank you for letting me know. I think those two are still in shock." Jack looked at James, "I saw the look of jealousy in your eyes when I walked in here with her on my arm. Don't even try and deny it."

James looked at her, "I suppose we should get to know each other better over dinner."

She laughed, "Not the way I saw this day going."

Jack smiled, "Just helping with the old boys club. I would have her starting out looking at quality assurance issues with failed parts and see if there is a trend with any of your manufactures. For your existing engines. You will want to get a good grip on your suppliers when the new engine designs land on your desk. With a price of course."

Senior looked at Jack, "That was why you did what you did to GS?"

He smiled, "It was a contributing factor. Everything I said was true. They held humanity back and stifled creative minds. Buying new technology rights, then they never saw the light of day. Went against their business model of blow the engines and sell replacement parts."

James nodded, "It was best for humanity, to take them out of the equation."

Jack smiled, "Which is why you are only getting engine and power cores designs from me. I will do the heat sink and relays with another. Shields and tractor beams with another. You get the idea. I don't want one player. I want to see innovation and creativity. If I don't the next completely different design could be in a competitor's hands.

That is why you want her looking over those designs when they hit your desk. She deserves a seat at the table with the big boys. You are a hell of a businessman. You both are. She is a hard-core engineer. You need that. You need more of that to go with the hard business decisions."

He nodded, "Getting schooled by my grandson generations removed. I got to say that was a surprise."

He nodded, "It needs to remain that way. I have many enemies. They might try and kill one of you just to test time paradoxes; prevent me from being born or not. That is also why I do not fire at random; I avoid the fights unless cornered. Then I have to take my chances."

They all nodded, "That was why you killed all the bugs."

He shook his head, "Astra sweep the entire facility for bugs and then their homes as well. Shall we go? She will give me numbers when she is finished, or better yet send you a message with concerns, types, locations, and a list of ways to avoid it in the future.

Did you want to get a local news crew? Let them know the President of the company is doing a walk-through of the facilities with some important people. He was inviting one and only one news crew for the exclusive."

She walked up and kissed Jack's cheek. He looked at them, "We can wait for her outside. I want to change parking spots."

He laughed, "She stuck her head in and said someone parked in a VP's spot."

Jack nodded, "My spot wasn't open."

He laughed, "We don't have a designated spot for non-employees."

Jack smiled, "Wait here I will move my shuttle." He got in and fired up the systems. He closed the doors and took it straight up and then spun it a few times and pointed the shuttle nose down. He hit the tractor beam and reversed the engines. He picked up the president's shuttle and moved it into the VP's spot and then landed in the president's slot. He got out, "Much better."

Senior looked at Jack, "That is the tractor beam you were talking about."

Jack nodded, "Figured you would want to see it in person. Besides I got a better parking spot."

James laughed at Jack and then the father, James Senior, followed suit. Francine showed up and they started walking when the local news crew showed.

The reporter was shocked, "It's him. He's alright! The news has been saying you got shot and potentially killed."

He nodded, "I bet they would say that. Being a hybrid, I am fairly resilient."

She nodded, "Can we talk while we walk? I mean can I get an interview with you as we go?"

He smiled, "Sure, fire away. Not with a gun."

The owner started showing where they were retooling for the power cores they got the designs for.

The reporter asked, "What brings you here, to Treven Engines today?"

He smiled, "I gave exclusive rights to build the power cores I wanted to see how the ramp-up was going. With the military contract, I want to see those in the battleships sooner rather than later. I will be leaving orbit in the next 48 hours as the last of our supplies come aboard. Then I will be out of touch for a month, maybe longer doing engine testing."

She smiled, "The two ladies are your wives?"

He smiled, "Sprits and Ash are two of my wives. Sprits was the first to agree to marry me. Ash was second to marry me. She was on the stage earlier as she finished her transition into a hybrid. Then Aiko I married later and we did our vows in Japanese. I speak that and mandarin.

The Beijing dialect of course because of the business connections. Like the medical device that will be built by Trikora Manufacturing in China. I spoke with Jen Bo and his board of directors about the device. As soon as I get with my business manager and get all the paperwork together. Then signed with them."

James senior pointed out where they were ramping up for the military ships coming in. She asked, "You mentioned being a Chief Engineer aboard a military vessel when you got grabbed. What kind of vessel and what was the name?"

He looked at her, "It was a destroyer class vessel like the ones being used to open routes through the outer belt.

The name, well that is classified. The reason being is someone might try and kill me in this timeline when I am vulnerable. All personal information about my name and background are classified."

She looked at Jack, "Who wants to kill you?"

He chuckled, "Members of Congress, GS employees and investors, and of course the Admiral that is on the loose. I am putting up a reward of 100 million TC's to the person or persons that provide the tips to local law enforcement that brings the Admiral to justice. Captured dead or alive.

But by law enforcement. I don't want any big game hunters trying their hand at shooting him. I would prefer alive but he might fight to the end. Right now, he is being a coward hiding in a hole. That is one thing that is backward with the military. This is just an opinion; the highest-ranking member of the branch should be out there as the hard charger leading the troops.
