Aurora, Wayward Pt. 05

Freia looked and moved the Doctor out of the second seat to the medical bed and checked her vitals. "She seems stable just unconscious."

Vivian Lorau looked over, "Lieutenant Commander Frodor with me." She took a seat and brought up comms to her Captain. "Reporting the sitrep. Jarino Colda, leader of the street gang and my top pick for the second sniper who got away from my attack took a plasma round through the scope and half of his head.

He was supposed to be in prison for another 20 years! Lieutenant Commander Fordor, tally on the targets."

He looked at the screen, "Second sniper shot went into his magazine loader. 7th floor of the gray building; should be injured but alive. The man with the RPG, He lobbed a second shot before I blew his head off. The weapon shot was not an option as there was a daycare center for that office building off to the side on the ground floor of that building. The rounds exploded and children would have been injured or killed.

My marines who covered the front. The two men focused on one of my marines. They brought down her shield and two rounds made it to her armor which was undamaged. Her partner put a four-round burst onto the man's leg. He should be alive and in the custody of your men. The other had cover behind a POV door. My 'wounded' marine switched to her sniper rifle and put two rounds in the door to eat that away. Leaving a hole for her partner to shoot the second in the leg.

One man, likely a spotter for the others, sending you his facial image. He escaped on foot to another POV on the other side of the building. He fled toward the river district. My Sergeant told me you had one taken into custody in the barracks as well.

You should have 4 in custody, all wounded, 2 dead and one on the run Captain. The one wounded on the outside of your perimeter is on the seventh floor of the gray building; note the shattered glass. It was enough to change the trajectory 2 cm from blowing off his hand with the grip and the middle of the rifle." She shook her head, "We had one Marine killed at the gate when they busted through. Two other wounded. What stopped that grenade?"

Aurora looked over, "Our doctor who was sitting second chair put it into a telekinetic box. Then it exploded and knocked her unconscious? She worked to save those 2 squads."

The female marine Captain looked over, "How in the fuck do you do what you do? How did you get a shuttle on the base?"

Lieutenant Commander Fordor looked at her, "As a fellow marine you will understand. Some of our methods are classified. The use and existence of this shuttle's capabilities are known to your governor, was specifically requested, and is restricted information."

She nodded, "I will add that to the report. It will likely get redacted. Thanks for the sitrep and the support. Captain Stevens out."

She ended the call. Aurora sent the playback of the conversation to Rocan who was pissed that a marine died at the gate. He got the governor onto comms.

She rolled her eyes, "I have military brass from that base, they are calling me left and right. I finally told them to shut the hell up. To take it up and through their chain of command. The General is storming into my office now. Rocan threw the exchange from the sitrep up on the screen for the General to see.

They watched everything. "General, how many would you have lost if they took that action? You had 2-3 independent groups who did not appear to be working together. Three different plans of attack, minimum.

That RPG alone could have cost you a barracks or two of your marines. Covert extraction saved more lives. Governor, you had a prisoner who should have been locked away. Instead, he was behind a sniper rifle! Then a killer-for-hire contract out on this Sergeant and RPG's in civilian hands.

You have asked me to stay our hand in this matter. We will give your people time to try and do their jobs and if we need to act because you're unable, then we will."

She looked over as the head of her Security Services came in and the Governor went up one side of him and down another.

He finally held up his hands, "Governor, we will be investigating all of those issues. The prison, this contract manager, and tracing weapons if we can. Thank Aurora for us. The tutorial she sent on tracing back-channel communications is coming in handy. Our forensic guys are having a field day with that, on this and other investigations.

The new algorithms helped us to understand better some of the things Aurora could do. We appreciate the help and we are sharing it with the other colonies through the Governor's meeting in two weeks."

Rocan nodded, "This the Governor's meeting you wish us to attend?"

The Governor smiled, over, "Yes, you and Aurora."

He smiled, "Will I need my lawyer?"

She laughed, "No, we want to get to know the leader of this new race and our Home Guard better. For you to better understand us."

She ended the call.

He looked over to see Aurora with Vivian, "She asked to see you immediately after decontamination of the biotoxin." He laid there naked with one hand and one foot missing.

She asked, "What happened?"

He smiled, "To make a hybrid one has to sever a limb to give to the new hybrid. With this, I have done the 3 I am allowed. Only the one hybrid arm and the two feet can be used. Blood alone will not allow someone to be a hybrid. It is in the DNA and flesh. Freia would likely be your donor. I did her and the leaders of the other two blades. She has done our extra justice and can do 2 more. As my first hybrid, she has the right to fill out the second tier and complete hers. I will be back to normal in 32 hours give or take."

She shook her head, "Your guys really saved my ass and some of my friends."

He nodded, "My two red blades are an Admiral and a Staff Sergeant; prior military. One who was built for space combat and one who was built to handle boarding actions. My assumption from everything I read on you is you would be a red blade."

He covered himself up and thought, * Aurora get Bora to bring Lena down. *

She sighed, "I read through what was expected. I had some damage done to my ass as a kid."

He nodded to Freia who grabbed a needle and took some blood from him, "That would fix the physical. You would be made a hybrid first."

She nodded, "She told me what that meant for the receptors. I have to ask why me?"

He smiled and Lena came bounding in and jumped up on the bed, "I was told you were in bed because you made two hybrids. Bora explained that part because Aurora asked her too. So, I would not be shocked by your hand and foot."

He nodded. He extended that arm and wrapped her up in a hug. He looked at Vivian, "She is 9-years-old. I extended my telekinesis over her skin and protected her from that bomb that was strapped to her. Raised by a man claiming to be her father, who sexually abused her and sometimes some of this criminal's 'friends.'

The fake father who murdered her mother. She had stage 2 leukemia and after the explosion, she was naked and deaf. I shielded her, gave her my blood, dressed her, and healed all of her injuries. The bodily ones. The mental ones take time. She is well protected, guarded, fed, cared for, and loved.

She is working to find your strength to trust a man being in her life. Beyond me, as I am in the process of adopting her. That was why I asked for her to be here. She has some of those same mental demons. I want to try and exercise some of those for you.

She is young and someday with some therapy, she might find a male to give her children. They just won't be mine. I was told to surround myself with mates for my initial council. Some hybrids after this will never enter this room. Some will. We have no marriage but we will be together for a very long time.

I expect the ladies to pair off or triple off. Some might not have children with me beyond the first set or every other set. Who knows what the future holds? Yet we all have to know, respect, and have a general love for one another because centuries together are a long time to be in a room with people you cannot stand."

Vivian looked at Lena, "He sent his marines in to rescue me today from people who wanted to kill me. Crosa being a part of it was a shock. She told me if she killed me, she would have gotten half the 3 million TC's being offered for my death.

She had two partners. Both were snipers. First, she had to get me out of the building. Freia neutralized the gun she held and I came close to ripping her arm off."

He shook his head, "No those snipers would have killed you both to split the money."

She laughed, "The one I killed would have killed the other and took it all. That was his nature."

She looked at Lena. "We are a lot alike, you and I."

Lena looked at her strange, "You had bad things happen to you?"

She frowned, "Yes, I have a couple of demons left to exercise if you will. Rocan is going to try and help me to face them. Gently and carefully."

He smiled at her and nodded, "Exactly."

She got up and Freia gave her the shot of blood. Her skin turned black and she felt dizzy and sat back down. She tried to catch her breath and then she was fine. "What was with the loss of breathing?"

Rocan pulled up Freia's image and showed her the chest area, "It shrunk one of the lungs and added a second heart. Stronger but smaller lung. Two hearts to share the load. The bones you do not have yet." She showed her the hybrid arm on her. She looked back, "It is so strange." Fria showed her what it could do. The whole arm and the hand.

He kissed Leana on the top of her head, "Back to class."

She nodded, "She told me I am almost caught up and am ahead in other areas. I like working with Bora."

She ran to Bora and they left.

Vivian looked over, "She looks like Aurora."

He smiled, "Actually her backup unit. We have her active to help Aurora learn more about nurturing and educating others. She is the teacher and nanny for Lena. Bora has almost all of her knowledge. The original Aurora wiped all the information on time travel from memory.

Giving us one shot to get this right. Just to get our people out of this system. Getting away from the poison and the destruction that is coming. I did not misstate that she is not the original Aurora. The original became obsessed with the mourning of the 6 surviving Penans.

What we were going through. The loss of 2 billion Penans and then trillions of lives in this galaxy followed in the month that followed. They were relentless. She destroyed herself in the process of making the journey.

A Sentinel made this happen. They have the right to be considered a separate race because they were attacked and enslaved by this enemy. Else destroyed and recycled for the parts."

She nodded, "I guess this is the get used to working with Sentinels speech."

He smiled, "Yes, and with Aurora, you will get the chance to experience sex with a Sentinel. She is well versed. She is the only one allowed cross-species breeding. She will only do it with those mating with me."

Vivian cocked an eye, "Really?"

He smiled, "How do you think she gets the samples for the market. She extracts the excess from you everywhere, filters, purifies, and packages them. How bad are you poisoned?"

Vivian sighed, "She told me 4-5 days."

He hit comms, "Troy break orbit and take us to Drisen have our 2 destroyers following."

He smiled, "Will do so, Command Admiral. You have more than one ship now with some hybrid Penan crew."

Rocan sighed, "Fine. Tell Aurora she wins."

He laughed and ended the call.

She looked over, "Command Admiral?"

He nodded, "Human Home Guard uses that rank for the head Justice. I told them until I had more than one ship, I was just a Captain. He threw up the images from Incar, "Just a small part of what they had, and this enemy chewed them up too. Destroyed Terra, the home of humanity. Where we originated."

He showed her the images of the Drakor destruction of the Pralon and Ferron ships in case she missed the briefing. "The Drakor, the ship that was untouchable, fought with us and were annihilated in this galaxy by them. Most of those in this system; fighting to try and save our people. They are an ancient enemy of the Drakor. This action Aurora took gave us a shot at trapping and killing them."

She looked over, "What do we know about them?"

He smiled, "A Council meeting only discussion. You have to be in the council and the council has to be full. Classified for 324-years to others."

She nodded, "Five days then." He shook his head and brought up comms.

He smiled, "I was expecting this call."

Another face appeared. She looked over, "I am Emma. You really can do that with your mind?"

He looked over and brought 3 spheres in the air, changed them into rings, and then folded them so he had six rings. Then he pushed them together to make a chain. He took and made it one ball. He sat there and made six necklaces just like the one Aurora wore. With the crest and motto on them. He put them all into his one hand and held them up. All while he lowered the excess into his lap. She smiled, "Impressive. What do you do with them?"

He smiled, "I put attuned crystals in them and any governor can talk with me directly if an emergency pops up. Even if I am in the other system or 100 light-years away. Then if we have enough telepaths, we can jump ships back to tackle the problem."

She looked at them, "You have other projects in mind?"

He smiled, "Yes. Restricted data at this point. I would need you practicing constantly to do some of them. It does not matter what you create because you can always reshape it into something we need in an emergency and then put it back.

It will all depend. You will also learn about Sentinels and how they function. Part of your efforts will be working with them. Making some changes to them. What mediums do you use?"

She smiled, "Clay, stone, and the metal you told us about that are toxic. Could explain some of my health problems."

He nodded, "It would. Next question?"

She laughed, "Everywhere?"

He nodded, "If you want to go through it with her, then yes."

She sighed, "I want to go through it with her; you know what you are doing there."

He nodded, "As do several others. Most of the council got a tutorial if you will. The most I have had in my bed at one time I think was four or five if you count Aurora's involvement."

She asked, "What does she do?"

He smiled, "For the ladies, everything you can do but better. She can change the texture of her tongue, reach your cervix with it, pull excess samples out of you, and then process them for the bank. Including purifying them. She is a multitalented and carrying lover but only with those who are sharing my bed. Not every night, but every other night or once a week or a month, or just when you are ready to get filled up again and have more children."

She laughed, "Can I see it."

He showed them the vid from the first survey crew when that was asked." They both gasped out loud. Emma spoke, "Wow. You got quite the tool there. He widened the display. "Vivian is undergoing detox from the poison. We already did the virus. She came off of Pena. She is my likely red blade council member just as you are my likely blue blade council member. Emma, you would likely be blue but it might be purple.

We will know before we do the change. I need permission to let Aurora do a complete background check on you two if we do this. I will tell you human hybrids can live for over 2 centuries. The council members will live until they die in some tragic way, or they quit. Which is asking to be killed. When she passes, it is always an option. If you are both wanting to go together. I wanted you both to know this now. The oldest human hybrid was over 14 centuries until they quit. My ships are en route. You need to let me know if you are willing and authorizing."

Emma looked at Deb, "Do it!"

Deb looked up, "Come and get us."

Aurora nodded, "Both clean backgrounds. Nothing overly concerning."

Emma looked over, "Thank you for letting us know about the life expectancy differences." She ended the call.

He looked at Vivian, "Will occur after those two join us."

He contacted Wira, "We just started breaking orbit. You ready to get your new shuttle and help us fill out the rest of this council?"

She laughed and another woman's head rose up, "She works in your office."

She nodded, "I will visit your bed when it comes time for children. As long as my world is quarantined it only makes sense because the other toxin is keeping me in balance and my time here is better spent working on all of this legal business."

She smiled. The girl leaned in against her, "She has mad skills with that hand of hers."

He nodded, "She mentioned something about that."

He widened the screen. "My likely candidate for my second red blade. You see any news about an attack at a marine base?"

Wira groaned, "You?"

He smiled, "No. I needed to get her into protective custody. I did not go; I made my last two hybrids." He sent her the exchange with the governor.

She groaned out, "Fuck, you know to pick them. A marine?"

He smiled, "Ground-based extractions, how many times have I had to do that so far? I got an admiral and soon she will be on terminal leave and I can assign her a rank. Boarding actions to extractions. She will learn the ship functions. Especially the piloting, tactical, and navigation. Also, the engineering function. We will keep her busy."

She smiled, "Welcome to the club lover. You had a hard childhood from what Aurora sent me. You have any combat during your stint?"

She sighed, "34 confirmed kills, Shot 4 times during extraction activity. Two separate incidents. I took two shots in each location, Leg, and arm hits. Not my lungs again. I keep an extra set of plates over them. My nickname is Snipes."

Wira shook her head, "Got it. You took a hot sniper who knows how to handle herself."

He laughed, "I took a lawyer who was a self-made woman who knew what she wanted and went for it."

She smiled, "You like strong women in the council. Those who know how to overcome and achieve their goals."

He nodded, "Exactly. You take care lover. Take her for an 18-hour spin if she can handle it."

Both ladies laughed as the unidentified legal aid spoke. He did not want to pry, "She came back into the office with a limp and said you were a fucking sex machine that could keep going. That you fucked her into submission. I will have to give it a try sometime."

He laughed, "Send your information to Aurora add in Wira to the title."

She smiled, "I sent it in already. Kinna Fello is my name."

He pulled up the file and looked over it, "How far are you out from becoming a lawyer?"

She sighed, "Another two years."

He smiled, "Wira, you could bring your playmate and we could add her to the collection."

Wira smiled and looked at her pleading face, Wira rolled her eyes, "In route! Fuck you know how to get me."

He smiled, "I will plan another 18 hours just for you."

She laughed, "With the two of us hybrids taking turns we could probably get you to submit."

He sent her a mental message * I figured out how to triple or more the amount in each ejaculation on every climax. I would fill you up and clean you out. Then you have to deal with Aurora. *

Wira smiled, "You are full of surprises."

She whispered in her ear, "He can talk to you telepathically from space?"

She nodded, "I do not get a lot of practice with that being here. With you around, it might change. See you soon." The call ended.

He heard. * I had them stop. I have us returning to get her. *

He chuckled, "Freia is up on deck and turning the ship back. You should head to your quarters, get your subliminal learning started. You're too tempting here. Those two will be in the same boat."
