"Hmm, I'm surprised you're still able to keep up."

"Me? You're the one that's always asleep in the pod. Ready for another nap?"

"You know I would but I really think you need me. After all, only one of us has designed and built a drone with functioning cloaking capabilities."

The playful, sarcastic banter of Kodi and Ethan went back and forth like a ping pong ball across the room, bouncing between them. In the past seven days, the production process for the Phantom Link prototypes was in full swing, with each of them committing to finishing their part so that the experiment could begin. After many conversations about the theories and concepts surrounding the project, they both decided that it was time to stop mulling over the potential for their new invention, and time to take action and get to work. They were determined to finish it soon.

In order to make the workflow easier and more seamless, Ethan was in charge of working on the hardware for the device, while Kodi was in charge of the software, A.I., and the cloaking function. This made sense, considering that Ethan was used to having more tools available to him, and Kodi was more familiar with the cloaking and software, after the incredible programming she'd done for her Koko drone. She was glad to see it again after so much time, since Ethan had taken it for examination following her capture. It reminded her of how much she enjoyed creating, building incredible technologies from almost nothing. The process she was enamored with. And it gave her just the right amount of motivation to fuel her fire.

"No, I think I know what's slowing you down. You're too busy looking at me, when you should be focused on getting that cloaking down pat."

"Trust me, I am focused, no one is looking at you." Kodi responded with a smirk, softly nibbling on her bottom lip.

In reality, the process could have been expedited even further, but their desires for each other had become even more rampant and led to frequent "breaks" while they worked. Sometimes all it took was a slightly sensual gaze at each other to get them going. Even though they'd been in very close quarters for quite a while now, this seemed different. Knowing how strong Ethan was and seeing him pound, screw, pull, and push away at the nuts and bolts of the device, looking through all of that hardware gave her an erotic jolt up through her body.

While usually in his button-down shirt, over the past week he'd been stripped down while they worked, only wearing a t-shirt and some comfortable pants. With him wearing that, Kodi was able to see the muscles in his arms, the tattoos that traversed down them, and a better outline of his overall physique. He looked hot, and she couldn't help but have her hands all over him.

She wasn't the only one, however. Kodi noticed that Ethan was intensely enticed by her as well, frequently catching him gazing at her body for long periods of time when he should have been working. His gaze would hover around her thick luscious thighs, traveling up and down her soft mahogany legs. It would peek around to her round ass, watching as how it was in motion as she moved around the room while working. His eyes were often fixated on her soft bosom, lost in the way her breasts moved in her shirt, his desire for them made obvious and clear. He seemed titillated in the motion of her body, the way everything bounced and jiggled. Her movement seemed fluid, like water flowing down a jagged cliff. Dancing down a stream. These moments were incredibly intense, though subtle, and would usually end in them having their way with each other on the bed in the sleeping area, or sometimes even in the work area.

There were impulsive moments, like the one time a few days ago, when they were in the middle of sifting through some of Ethan's older inventions to use as comparisons for reverse engineering or just extra information. This was an important part of the process, since the Phantom Link would be a mixture of the best qualities from many different devices. Ethan was lifting some of the heavier items out of the way, grunting as he placed them down next to him, and Kodi took notice. The strength, sweat, it all coalesced to make her horny, as she felt the moisture slowly begin to build in between her legs.

He had now given her back the pants and underwear she had when she arrived on the space station, but while they were working, Kodi was bypassing the jeans and only wearing the panties and shirt around now. She was happy to cover up more, but felt more comfortable leaving the jeans off. With her legs and ass in view still, Ethan found himself occasionally distracted, caught in his staring spells at her. He suddenly stopped looking through the devices after picking one up and putting it down in front of him, looking at it with intent. It was the sensory drone.

"Well, what do we have here? This is a blast from the past."

"The past? It wasn't even that long ago." Kodi replied, confused by his statement.

"Okay, let's see then. Do you even remember what this does?"

"Of course, this is the sensory drone, a device that utilizes special infrared beams to analyze the sensory receptors around the body, and locate the most sensitive parts of the body. After my additions, it also can pinpoint and acquire other data, including heart rate, breathing, and other ailments. It's actually very important to our project, so I'm glad you found it now. Soooo, I'll just take it back here with me and..."

"Wait, I want to see it first." Ethan said as he grabbed her hand before she could take it herself.

He picked it up again, rotated it around his palms, looking closely at the device. He looked at the design, the material, everything, and then sat it back down again. Kodi wondered what the point was. He should already know about the device, since he created it. And if he really wanted to take a look, he could easily use his tools and take it apart. It would be better to look at the inner machinations that fueled the device, to see how they could be incorporated into the Phantom Link. But he merely sat it back down and looked back at her.

"Do you remember the last time it was used on you?" He asked.

She was surprised at his question, but it returned her to those memories. She did remember, vividly. It was right when they were deciding on building a new invention together, when he'd first put the collar around Kodi's neck, used to keep tabs on her while he was away. He ordered her on the metal table, filling her with immense fear. She thought that he was going to punish her, but he ended up using the drone on her naked body, scanning her.

Kodi thought back to the warmth of the infrared beams, how it tingled right around her breasts and nipples with just the right intensity. After the drone's analysis ended, Ethan then showed Kodi just how sensitive her nipples were, sucking them so hard that her body exploded in orgasm...

"Well yea, I-I mean barely, you know we've done so much since then, you know." Kodi nervously replied, trying to understate the memory.

"Right. I think we should try it again."

"Try it again? What do you mean?"

"I think we should have the drone conduct another scan of your body. It'll give us another chance to see it's mechanics and note anything we could use."

"Well, I don't know..."

"Plus, you said it yourself, we need to become more familiar with the technology, closer to it. Until we know it the best we can." He said with an extra hum in the deepness of his voice. Using his glare, riddled with intent and purpose into her eyes, and his deep voice, he had a way of peering into her sometimes, penetrating her and filling her with intense desire. Without even touching her.

"I did say that, you're right. Okay, okay let's do it." Kodi said softly, noticing the bulge that had appeared in his pants. Wearing material that was different than the formal pants he usually wore, she was able to notice when his cock was growing more easily. And now, it was drawing her to him.

"Okay, I'll set everything up." Ethan said as he started walking towards the sleeping area.

"Wait, where are we going? Aren't we going to do the test on the table right here?"

"No, of course not, that's not comfortable at all. There's no need to do it there. The bed will be much softer, so you can relax."

Kodi did remember being in discomfort last time, for a multitude of reasons. But she was still surprised that they would be doing this on the bed, though she was secretly glad because she wanted him to touch her, feel her and dive inside of her.

Ethan made sure things were neat in the sleeping quarters, while Kodi helped, since it was her that was making most of the mess while working in there. He then walked over and grabbed the sensory drone and carried it over, along with a virtual control panel used for taking notes. After that, he gestured for her to get on the bed, and she obeyed, climbing atop the soft, silky red sheets. She was growing to love the way it felt against her skin, like a smooth butter spread to accentuate her brown skin.

"No restraints this time, huh?"

"No need. I get the feeling you want to be here this time." Ethan replied. She merely smiled at him, knowing he was right in his simple statement.

"Do I need to..."

"Yes, I'll need you to take off her clothes. That'll give the most accurate readings. Completely naked, please."

"Of course, all for the name of science." Kodi said as she stretched out her legs to pull her black panties down, as Ethan watched. She didn't bother asking him to look away, he already knew her body intimately. His gaze was focused, and it seemed to intently caress her body. She could almost feel it. She kicked her panties off, letting them rest on the floor next to the bed, and then sat up on her knees. She pulled her white shirt over her head, around her big afro curls, as her large breasts spilled free, flopping against her chest and stomach. It always felt good to let them free, and feel the air hit them. She was anticipating the beams hitting them even more though. After collecting himself, Ethan gave his next instructions.

"Okay good. Now lay back against the pillow, and make sure you're comfortable. I'll get the drone started."

She lay back, relaxing and breathing deeply. Even though this situation was different in that it lacked the potential for punishment and pain, she could still feel the anxiety crawling up her spine, the butterflies in her stomach from nervousness. Without restraints, her body was free to move around how she wanted. At first, she couldn't help but wiggle and readjust herself constantly, but eventually she realized that it was just from the excitement at the ensuing pleasure, and calmed down a little. Ethan saw that she was better and began calibrating the drone, making sure it was ready to hover over her and conduct her analysis. Kodi could see the settings he was inputting and stopped him before the drone took flight.

"Wait, make it warmer."

"Warmer? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I want it warmer. It wasn't warm enough last time." Kodi proclaimed. She was referring to the ability for the temperature of the drone's beams to rise or drop, based on the person's preference. And she had made her preference very clear.

Ethan obliged, taking his finger and dragging it upward slightly, until Kodi nodded with approval. He didn't want it so warm that it might hurt her. Then, he let go of the drone and glided above her, made a beeping noise to signal that it was ready to scan, and then activated its beams. It began around her feet, scanning slowly but sure as it collected data from her entire body. When the beams released they looked like a flash of deep red lights, almost like a strobe effect from a club back on Earth.

She immediately felt their warmth against her toes, traveling up her legs and thighs, and even briefly around her pelvic area. Kodi closed her eyes, and focused her sense on feeling, the feeling of the increased warmth. The tingling heat against her caramel brown skin was so enticing, and seemed to jolt her body with pleasure and tension, in the best way possible.

By the time the drone reached the peak pleasure point, Kodi was writhing against the silk sheets, her legs contracting and expanding constantly against it as the heated beams made contact with her dark brown nipples. Her dark peaks were thickened as she felt the intense warmth caress them. The drone traveled around her entire breast, going up and down the soft mounds of flesh, and making sensual circles around the dark copper colored areolas. It was almost teasing her, as these were also sensitive points, but not nearly as sensitive as her chocolate peaks.

It felt so good. And she loved being able to move freely while they stimulated her nipples, taking her hands and rubbing her breasts, pinching her nipples, and sliding down in between her legs, where her dark brown folds were riddled with moisture. The pleasure was becoming too intense, and her breathing was becoming rapidly more quick and heavy. It was amazing, the drone seemed to have become more accurate with its beams. They felt like they were stroking her erect peaks, rubbing against their thickness with subtlety. As she gradually rubbed her wetness harder and harder, her fingers sliding through her moist lips, she felt onset of another earth-shattering orgasm.

Apparently, the scene was becoming too much for Ethan as well, because he went from his previous position of standing above her and watching to kneeling at the foot of the bed. Kodi didn't notice him moving because her eyes were closed, and didn't find out until she felt his hands moving her own away from her dripping slits. She grunted in disapproval at first, wanting to ride the wave of pleasure that was coming. But then, her upset grunts turned to passionate, powerful moans as he replaced her hands with his, sliding two fingers inside her, making her feel full and complete.

He began driving his fingers inside her, thrusting with assertive invention, aided by the immense moisture. Her pussy was throbbing, as was her clit, and he helped with that too, leaning forward and taking her erect clit in between his lips and in his mouth. He sucked and pulled on her clit while still fucking her with his fingers, balancing the rhythms of each really well.

This drove Kodi crazy, and she couldn't tell if she were experiencing mini-orgasms as her body spasmed and shook, or if it was one long continuous moment of pleasure. Her nipples were still being stimulated by the heat as well, and the mixture of all these sensations seemed to overload her sense. She was cumming so hard, rocked with orgasm after orgasm as her juices spilled onto Ethan's face. She had to have cum at least three times in a row before she couldn't handle it anymore and yelled for Ethan to stop. He rushed up, her juices still covering his now damp beard, and grabbed the remote to shut off the drone.

The scene they left was incredibly salacious, with a dark wet spot forming at the foot of the bed, and the sheets looking a mess from the tremors and movement of Kodi's body. Ethan was taking deep breaths, recovering from how hard he was thrusting into her and sucking on her clit. He grabbed a washcloth from the bathroom and rinsed his face off, though the licentious scent of Kodi's juices still lingered. Kodi meanwhile, had become physically and mentally overwhelmed, and drifted off into a solaced slumber. Ethan grabbed the drone and gave it another look.

"Yea, I think we can use this."

Days later, they were finally nearing the conclusion of the work process.

"Do you think it's ready??"

"Only one way to find out."

"I think it's ready. I know it's ready, I can feel it. I love this part! This is why I do this."

Kodi and Ethan were both standing by the long metallic table, with the remnants of a mess surrounding them. They tried to tidy up a bit, but there were still metal parts, screws, and tools all over the place. Ethan had to give her black shoes and jeans back to wear, just as a safety precaution. But none of that was as important at the moment, because the time had arrived. The product of their work, the reward of their labor finally lay right in front of them. They were both tired, sweating even, but each felt a sense of completion and triumph as they stared at the devices on the table.

The Phantom Link ended up looking very similar to Kodi's original blueprint designs, with a few modifications. Instead of just a glove that fit around the hand, they were more of a glove-wristwatch combo, with a medium sized control panel that sat by the wrist area. This control panel would be the way to access all of the primary settings, like power, brightness, and the cloaking function. It would be the place where you could expand the smaller menu into a bigger virtual one, where the more complex settings such as the heart monitor, breathing rate, blood work, and even neurological tests for certain psychiatric ailments.

It would also have more cosmetic options, such as changing the colors of the menu screens, flashing lights, and even a small mobile game for entertainment. These aesthetic additions were Kodi's idea, and took several times begging before Ethan gave in.

After looking at it long enough, they decided to finally try them on.

"Are you ready? The experiment will officially begin when we put them on."

"Yes, Ethan, I am ready. Of course!" Kodi said, slightly mocking his stoic tone. Sometimes he still said things so plainly and regally, like a politician or something.

They each grabbed the one that was designated for them. Ethan was going to have them in a simple metallic paint, so they wouldn't have to worry about the extra work. But Kodi insisted that they each have a unique color palette, to match the unique relationship the device would have to their bodies. Therefore, Ethan's was a black with blue at the tips, and Kodi's was red, her favorite color, and white outlines.

"What do you think of the design, Kodi?"

"I love how skeletal and minimal it is, it feels so lightweight, almost like wearing a feather glove. And the colors look great!" Kodi said, almost bouncing with excitement.

"They better, it took us an extra day to get the painting right." Ethan grumbled.

"Well it was well worth it, yours looks great too."

"It does feel very light, and adjusting to our hands already. That's good, since it's supposed to be there and not feel like it's there at the same time. Like a benevolent ghostly presence."

"Right, exactly. Well, shall we turn it on?"

"Nahh, I think I'm burnt out, let's call it for today."

"Ethan!" Kodi exclaimed while lightly hitting him on the shoulder. It was still taking some time to get used to calling him that, but she was doing it more consistently now. It just felt a little weird still leaving her lips.

"Okay, okay. Let's power them on."

They each took their index finger and held it against the wrist panel for about 2 seconds. Another feature they added later in the process was biometric scanning, so that only their fingerprints would activate the device. It was part of one of their main goals of the project: making the devices as personalized as possible to whoever was wearing it. Once it powered on, both Ethan and Kodi were wide-eyed with amazement. Lights indicating that it was activated shone through their entire fingers, traveling down to their knuckle and the wrist.
