Astra Pt. 03

Jack smiled at him, "I have been on the outer rim testing engines as I stated before. We ran into a delay when a rogue faction of the Terra military attempted to destroy me and my vessel. They did destroy one of my scout ships.

They were a Black-ops unit. We will be in Terra space in 41 hours now. I spoke with the president and several defense contractors. As to your element, 42 hours if you have a ship near Terra-5 and Terra-6 awaiting our arrival and you have one metric ton of the element. Loaded in a shipping container and ready for delivery. I kept my word that the collider would focus on that element."

He asked, "Why did you not call us sooner?"

Jack looked at him, "We got into comms range less than 6 hours ago."

He looked confused. "My ship is traveling 5 times faster than any of the Terra military or civilian spacecraft. The new engines I mention. Same with FTL drives."

His board members all murmured their conversations. One asked, "How do we know this is true?"

Jack told them, "Watch the video feeds from the station. Terra Global News plans to cover the arrival."

That seemed to pacify the board. He bid them a good day and ended the call.

He contacted Mr. Francois Bernard with the Large Hadron Collider at home again but close to his departure time. He answered with a towel rubbing his head and he saw Jack. He looked over, "Hello, we have been working building the harvester and we have run into some supply issues. We should have it up in a few days."

Jack smiled, "We will be there in 39 hours and will be there for at least a few days. I wanted to let you know of my arrival. Our engine testing proved fruitful and I am delivering one metric ton of the element to Trikora Manufacturing on arrival to take some of the pressure off. The expansion and grant were hanging upon you picking up this task for the future."

He nodded, "I will speak with my bosses and let them know of your impending arrival. Thank you for calling." Jack nodded and ended the call.

He looked at Grace, "Anyone else I have to call. Having the ladies cycling every hour to suck my cock has helped. Yet there is a certain right hand of mine who is begging to get her ass fucked nice, hard, and long."

She looked over, "I am still talking with the patent office but she said she would love to see that happen."

He went to get up and she waved him off, "I am not ready to show that to her and the rest of the office. You will have to wait."

He nodded, "Then I will be in my lab as I am done playing businessman today and am going back to being the mad inventor."

She pointed, "You still have the shield and electronics guys to work through."

He went through the list and while none of them was outstanding one had a better-on time delivery schedule. Also, customer satisfaction. They were one of the last ones until GS forced them out.

He called Trisna Helgan of Holland Ship Security. He got a woman at the desk who looked at him and spoke in Dutch. He smiled, "I do not speak Dutch."

She smiled, "I was just telling a friend they should see who was calling."

He nodded, "I am looking for Trisna Helgan."

She looked at him, "She is on her way to Italy to attend a conference on shield actuators."

He smiled, "Tell her I just filed 586 patents in regards to and associated with shield technologies and am trying to figure out if she should be the one to do business with."

She looked up, "One moment."

A minute later a delightful Dutch Blonde with double D tits and a model's face but in her early 40's if he had to guess.

Trisna stared across at Jack, "Hello Jack, call me Trisna."

He smiled, "Sounds lovely."

He gave her a high-level overview of the shields, power relays, heatsinks, and the new device tractor beam. He pointed her to the web to locate the traffic accident to get an idea of what it could do.

She smiled, "I will have my office contact you after we have seen the patents. You have this running?"

He smiled, "The shields on 5 ships from a one-person rocket to the Excalibur." She laughed, "How many have this tractor beam?"

He smiled, "The smallest vessel I got one in is a 2-man shuttle. 4 out of 5 ships."

She nodded, "I look forward to doing business with you."

He nodded, "As do I."

She ended the call. She was obviously in some limousine shuttle. He went through the electronics group and found one he liked, Tom Schnyder of Geo-Electronics. He let it ring and to his and Tom's surprise, he was sitting at his desk.

Jack smiled, "This is Tom Schynder?"

He nodded, "To what do I owe the pleasure."

Jack smiled, "In 36 hours I will be in your area. I have filed patents for several items including an upgrade internal dampener Travus 6-series, Travus 4-series, and 6-series sensor arrays, and several other parts from heatsinks to power relays. If you're interested get in touch with Grace Winters my business manager and we will see what we can do."

The man was trying to hold back on the person under his desk. Jack smiled, "Give it to them already. I have 7 ladies. I know what that can be like."

He groaned out a release and he nodded, "I will be in touch as we are very interested."

He looked over at her, "There, that should be all of them."

She smiled, "I will be another couple of hours."

He smiled, "You know where to find me."

He called out, "Astra, plan on installing a replacement communication device in my head in twelve hours, contact Linda and let her know I will be working in my lab.

If she wouldn't mind having dinner sent there with which every wife of mine who wants to be serviced."

Astra laughed, "Aiko is in the dining facility and will meet you herself."

He went into the lab looked at his monitors and dropped his pants and sat in his chair working weapon designs. Downgrading weapons was much harder.

He installed his components, used his heatsinks, shrunk barrel sizes to try and reduce damage and went through a dozen different laser, plasma, and solid weapon systems before being satisfied that he scaled it back enough. Series 4 weapons, they would tip the edge of the power threshold without more cores which would aid in slowing them down.

Still, 5 times stronger than what the military had. He pointed out the designs on the machines as Aiko came in wearing a silky robe and a smile. She got between him and the keyboard. She worked her tight little pussy down on his cock and smiled, "Your hands on my ass and I will feed you."

He smiled, "Something to drink first."

She handed him a bottle, "Drink first then. He downed half the mead in the bottle and set it down grabbed her ass and started lifting her up speaking Japanese as well, "Hello my fragile flower. Thank you for the food and the distraction."

She smiled and spoke in Japanese as well, "I have a friend in Japan who I contacted. I told her who I married. She already knew from the news. Then I played her the audio of our wedding to her. She called me out, 'He married you while you rode his cock with your ass while speaking in Japanese. That has to be some kind of first.' I told her it wasn't the last. She laughed at that and I wished her well. She is married to an insurance salesman."

She finished feeding him and her arms behind his neck. She rose from him slowly. He let her get off and off again from her slow ride. He knew what she was doing but he did not give it to her this time. He wanted her to work for it. She finally had her fill and smiled, "Grace is here."

He nodded, "She had an appointment to get her ass filled."

She smiled, "Well you are fairly well-lubed now."

He chuckled, "Until she comes over and sucks your juices off of it." She reached down and kissed him before leaving. She kissed Grace as she went by. He stood up grabbed the lube and lube up his cock. He wiped off his hand and Grace was still dressed and in a black pencil skirt and a light blue blouse. He walked over and unzipped her skirt.

Let it hit the ground. He picked her up bent her over his desk. She grabbed the edge of it and cleared what was in front of her. He slowly slid his full length into her. She groaned out. "I so enjoy our business meetings."

He grabbed her hips and started in on her, "Any word on contract offers coming in yet?"

She fumbled with talking coherently as she kept climaxing. He figured over half her body's pleasure nerve ending was in her ass the way she reacted. He just nailed her faster and faster but never took it to frantic until it approached an hour and he sped up on her and she moaned out an ear-splitting climax, clamped down on him hard.

He pushed to the end and deliver his load into her back passage. She was about asleep on her feet. Sprits showed up looking for Grace and she shook her head, "She's wasted for the night."

He nodded, "Gave her an hour ride." Sprits just shook with excitement at the thought of it. "You want to take her?"

Sprits nodded. He cleaned up dressed and started assembling the different weapon servos and motors. He left the tracking software to the weapon coders. He would use his own system and software for his own ships. He went to his storage hold and looked at all of the bars of Titanium-H which he filed a patent on and looked it all over.

He made enough to build it. For now. He had another stack of 200 stable metallic hydrogen bars in there as well. He ran the numbers and he could even build the weapons out of what he had stockpiled. He just needed a shipyard to work his plans. He looked at the time and went to medical. He laid face down while Astra put in a new implant. She whispered, "It will be good to hear you all the time again. I have missed it."

He sighed, "I missed getting all the information with a question and nobody knowing you were the power behind that discussion. You have been there for me Astra. That is why I did not want you destroyed."

She finished and thought to him, "I am here my Captain, my love. I love you for all you do. Even if you cannot fully grasp what that means to me. I loved you the moment I saw you. I understand it better than you think, just not as well as your wives."

He rolled over, "Collect samples however you want. I am sleeping here for a while. She smiled and slid her vaginal opening over his cock and kissed him. She then rode him like the wind every hour to collect more samples. He just laid there with the sleep of the dead.

---

He awoke with 6 hours to go and Astra laying on him. He rubbed her face. "I got work to do lovely lady."

She smiled, "I got 346ml of semen to process for the market. That will take us to 5,011 samples to send out. When the courier arrives."

He thought out * Over 5,000 mothers. Should I bring more metallic hydrogen? *

He heard back * Bring what you need. We gave you a minimum but you can always bring more. You will be able to build them on your own after this. *

He got up and cleaned up. He headed to the bridge. "Astra could you get Linda to send something to my office on the bridge. Before the wives say I am not eating again."

Astra sighed, "You have eaten 1.78 meals over the last month on average. You have lost weight. We all have a right to be concerned."

He thought and asked, * Send a message to Holly, would like to know when and where the wedding is occurring. *

He got up on the bridge and smiled at Sarah, "About 5 hours out now?"

She nodded, "Wives were looking for you. Said they found you in medical."

He nodded, "Needed to get Astra's comm back into my head. Too many people to deal with. She helps with all the 'behind the scenes research' that makes me look smarter than I am."

She smiled, "You are pretty damn smart. Without her help. But she does know like everything."

He laughed, "Yes, she does. I am calling your former boss to lay into him over his structural failures in his design."

She smiled, "He deserves it. It was coming apart all over the place. We had gaps we could stick our arms through. Everyone looked at an EVA suit every time they thought about flying that thing, even the reinforced black-ops one."

He sat back in the captain's chair. He brought up the contact for Yetto's Space Frames and placed the call. It was answered by a receptionist or office worker. She spoke in Japanese off to someone at the side, "Jake Travus is on the screen with me."

He responded to her in Japanese, "I am aware. May I speak with Mr. Taki please."

She smiled and nodded. She sent him to the secretary who put Jack through, "Mr. Taki, We have a problem. You advertise your scouts to be able to go up to 10 times normal speeds without a problem. I know that is not true because I had a stress fracture, hull plating bucking, hull breaches, and a number of other issues.

Right up until a black-ops group destroyed it. I did not advertise where I was going and I wondered who at your facility placed a tracker aboard by Ravager ship?"

Mr. Taki looked at Jack, "You have proof someone from my company planted some kind of tracker on you?"

Jack smiled, "You and I both know that if I had definitive proof, my gunship would be parked over your facility until the culprit was neutralized. Based on their system we know they were tracking that ship. I know 8 of your Ravager's and one battleship came my way. 7 destroyed and 1 captured.

The battleship was heavily damaged or destroyed. I did not stop to ask who. I know I have all the video evidence and modeling data along with the steps I had to take with the captured one to finish my testing. Heavy reinforcement of the airframe.

We did not do 10 times but we did go 5 times. I am scheduled to have an interview in about 8 hours. Do you want me releasing that raw data or are you going to fix this problem?"

He looked at Jack, "What do you want?"

Jack looked at him, "A full crew working around the clock to build the Travus Stingray scout ship. I will provide all of the engines and weapons. Sensors, inertial dampeners, heatsinks power relays, shield and the Titanium-H bars to build the frame and panels. I will approve the interior for this 14-man scout with a Series 5 system drive.

Along with a series 5 FLT drive with three power cores using a power core multiplexer. I will provide that technology. I will be on hand day and night overseeing the construction. Cabling, computer systems, and navigation systems that the military would put into a destroyer. 153 million and it folded like a cheap paper cup. This ship is proprietary and I hold the patent on the alloy.

This alloy was never made in the future, it is something new. I have 5,000 bars to build it and the raw material to double that if needed. You set it up, refund my money, or it will go to press.

Regardless it will be discussed in the coming days with the President because of everything I have had to build to bring this technology online. You will have to review your frame designs because those 5x drives are coming in 4 hours."

He sighed out, "You want to use our facilities and crew to build a prototype airframe using a metal we know nothing of."

He slid a file over and transmitted it to him, with the thickness to strength ratio. "I could make it half as thick as your current frames and be able to absorb 5 times more damage the Titanium alloy you are using. As it is, I will be using the same thickness. It will be a monster scout tank and not a prototype. A custom scout with the latest technology.

It will be an operational Scout in the future when we do Scout missions for Terran settlers to other systems. Here is the rendering. As soon as I have confirmation that the patent is in place, I can send the schematics. Contact Grace Winters, my Business Manager and Lawyer. She will be expecting your call when you decide which course of action you will take. Taking no action is a course of action that will end in a very public lawsuit."

He bowed and Jack ended the call.

Jack looked at Sarah, "Japan has a long history of quality products. That may cost him his job."

She looked back, "I know. You will get what you want. It is a matter of pride now for the local governments as well. Thank you for letting me watch that pompous ass getting what was coming to him. Especially after the crap we saw. It makes me wonder about my husband's death."

He contacted the Terra-3 registration office. The lady smiled at him, "It just got back to normal around here."

He laughed, "That will not last. Tar-2 Nautilus was destroyed by rogue Terra military who followed the disgraced Admiral. I am having a new scout built on my designs. I would like to use TAR-2 King Arthur on the new ship. Can that be done?"

She smiled, "It can, when will we see this new ship."

He sent her the mockup of the ship. "Wow."

He smiled, "It will be covered in a brand-new alloy. I found a way to merge Metallic hydrogen into Titanium. The bonded structure is 5 times stronger at half the thickness. But she is not going to have half the thickness. She will also have a frame made from this alloy, and all weapons made from it. She will shine in the night sky. Keep an eye on the news. We will be arriving shortly."

She smiled, "I will send you the form you can get it to your shipbuilder."

He nodded, "Thank you."

He ended the call, "Drop us down to 4x. All pilots to their ships. I got the bridge." Sarah sighed, "I got the Ravager, right?"

He nodded, "This time. The new scout is my craft though." She smiled as she walked by, "Then I will be flying this one if you are out and about."

He laughed, "We will build another shuttle as well. An elongated Manta." He called out as everyone was ready, "Launch on my go. Rocket you are a go. He gave it 8 seconds because of the staggered start. "Red Mouser, you are a go." Then 5 seconds, "Merlin you are a go."

He gave it another 5 seconds. "Go for it, Black Bogie." She laughed and launched out of the deck. He closed the hanger bay and pushed it back up to full power. "Terra-4 tower, we request 12 minutes break in any traffic leaving the outer marker and any craft coming in should hold back at least 10km. This is Excalibur TAR-1 and we are coming in hot on a fly by. The President is aware."

He heard, "Excalibur we are not even picking you up on sensors yet."

He smiled. "Tower we will need to look at upgrading your sensors. As it goes by Terra-4, 5 and 6. I will put it in the talking points with the President."

The tower sighed, "We cann..Holy fuck! What is that."

He laughed, "Tower the first one was a rocket single-engine. In case you missed it. There are 5 craft flying this formation." He adjusted course and angled the Excalibur slight as it went by. He adjusted course to fly in front of a moon transport that had not been warned or failed to stop. He missed it by several meters but they would have seen the lettering on the bottom of the ship. He called out, "Excalibur to all test craft. Throttle down and return to the hanger bay."

He throttled back. Then spun it 180 degrees and took it back to between terra-5 and 6 and came to a stop opened the shuttle bay and they returned in reverse order. "Terra-5 tower, the demonstration is done. I was not joking about needing to update your sensors." He heard laughter from the other craft except one.

"Excalibur, this is the copilot of TLS-495 and you actually physically scared the shit out of our pilot. But that looked so cool."

He heard another voice, "Excalibur TAR-1, Just how fast where you going? This is Terra-6 tower."

Jack replied, "Terra-6 tower. This is Excalibur TAR-1. The words would be wickedly fast for all 5 ships. It is significant as we just traveled 5x faster than anything in the Terra fleet.

Patents started being processed yesterday along with the technology we had to incorporate to deal with those speeds. Over 2,000 more patents with more on the way. We are awaiting VIP's tower."
