Chapter 68: Orientation Part 2
Chapter 68: Orientation Part 2
//WELL I HAVE HAVE NO VOICE, BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT THE SEATS ARE SAFE
"Well, if you say so, but what do I call you then?" I asked the screen.
//CALL ME ALTA
Finally, Tama and I sank into the blue gel. It surrounded me and flowed over my body, leaving me with a warm sensation. When I tried to move, there was no restriction, and in fact, I no longer felt it, even though I could see it covering me.
"Wah! This is so cool!"
Tama was trying to stand, but Sasha had just turned on the ship and was preparing to lift off. Instantly, Tama was sucked back in her seat, and I felt the goo suddenly tighten and constrict me. Tama started to complain, but Sasha called back to say we were leaving and that the seats would hold us in place during the exit.
//DON'T WORRY, WE PROBABLY WON'T DIE
"Why did the faceless monster say that?!" Tama cried uncharacteristically as the ship started to shake.
I wondered the same quest with a could different choice words for Alta, but soon the shaking stopped, and I felt all the weight leave my body. Tama started to complain about this as well, but Alta began to explain things to her while I turned to Sasha.
"Where to now?"
"The Dark Side of the moon, but first we have one more thing to do before we leave."
With that, Sasha pressed some panels, and I saw a missile streak from the ship towards the planet, and I turned to Sasha in a panic.
"What are you doing?! You're not going to destroy that planet, are you?!"
"Calm down, silly! Do you think I would actually do that? This missile I just launched is filled with a special hallucinogen designed to explode over the area that would have noticed us. It makes them view anything that happened as an unexplainable and ineffable experience. This is because this planet is a long way from any type of basic space or interstellar travel."
"Ah, so that's why you parked behind the moon then?"
"Yes, exactly!"
"What are you guys talking about? What is this monster talking about? I feel like my head is going to explode!" Tama complained.
"It is a lot to take in at once, but you will get used to it with time. Just sit back and relax now until we reach the main vessel. Our trip should only take thirty to forty minutes."
During that time, Tama decided the best way to deal with everything was to take a nap. While she was sleeping, Sasha and I talked about Universal Watch or UW and some of the things that the group or whatever it was is in charge of. It turns out that UW is like space police and intergalactic border patrol, making sure that the planets that are allowed to have outside contact stay safe, and the ones like this planet didn't get uninvited guests.
The time passed fast, and before we knew it, the image of a long cylinder like shape with a massive tip. The entire thing looked like an elaborate pencil, but when we got close, those thoughts fled my mind. The ship dwarfed ours, making it look like a rubber duck pulling up to an adult in a bathtub.
"That thing is massive!" I commented as a large bay opened.
"The Galanitia? This is just the system jumper that we use to deploy on missions. Just wait till we get to headquarters! It will take two days to reach, but In that time, we will be going over your orientation."
The ship settled as arms from the docking area reached out to grab the ship and hold it up. Alta wished us luck and that it would see us later. As we were led off the ship, Tama was all smiles and "what is that?"
I was lucky, having previously played games of the Sci-Fi type, so I wasn't dragging my jaw on the floor the entire time. We were shown around some areas, but I did get excited for Tama's sake when she would point out exciting things because games were hardly ever the same, but they shared some similarities. Finally, Sasha showed us to a room with a screen, chairs, and a table inside.
Sasha gestured for us to sit down and that she would be leaving us to watch a video. This really did feel like going to job site orientation. Hopefully, there wouldn't be a test after. The chairs inside the room were the same as in the previous shuttlecraft. All through this time, everything in the place was white to match.
As the video screen flashed on, I started to think about how strange it was that the girls weren't here to meet us, but it was a big ship, and they were probably busy. Soon, a female figure covered in circuits and surrounded by a floating ring came onto the screen.
//Welcome, my name is Neveah, the Prime of Universal Watch and the Leader. I welcome you to the ranks of The Watchers and look forward to your progress in the future. While in the UW service, you will be designated to work with a team to help with disturbances. For some, this will be a lot to handle
"Pft, ya think!" Tama complained, but Neveah went on, as this was just a recording, but Tama didn't know that.
//Your team members will help you adjust and learn the ropes, as they say. Someone will come to get you and take you to introduce you to your new team members. Thank you for joining Universal Watch
"Who said anything about joining?" Tama asked with some edge to the now blank screen.
"You plan on walking back?"
"Shut up!"
Tama turned on me, but I kept away from her swinging fists. Luckily, Sasha saved me by entering the room. She was dressed in a white jumpsuit with black lines running vertically all over it. The thing that struck me again was her exposed skin and face.
Like nothing I could even dream of, her body was almost completely translucent, but it was hard to describe the calmness that overcame me as I looked at her. When I moved to her, Sasha stopped me by putting up a hand. Apparently, I was contaminated and needed to go for a De-Con rinse and then a shower to get all the planetary debris off me. According to Sasha, there we species aboard the ship that could be harmed by even small amounts of certain elements, so the goal is to keep the environment neutral.
I pulled the complaining Tama along as we were shown to the De-Con room. Sasha left us to tell us to go through the door at the end of the room for the shower after we were done here and toss our clothes in the bin. Sasha gave me a wink as she left the room and closed the door, and that was the moment I realized this was a single stall.
"Uhh, do you want me to turn around" But Tama was already getting undress, already down to her breast wraps and shorts.
"Don't be shy now, Dave! You were getting all cozy with that Slime-Kin, so You owe me some time alone! Take you damn clothes of and stop acting so stiff, unless"
Tama raised her eyebrows at me suggestively, and I got the hint. I stripped down to nothing and tossed my clothes, turning to Tama and her beautiful body. Seeing me admire her figure, Tama smirked, and pulled me into the first room. Inside was a single hanging metal chain with a triangle at the end.
While getting blasted inside the De-Con chamber, we kept our eyes closed and apart, not wanting to mess up this part. After both of us got out, freezing cold and skittered over to the door on the back wall. Once inside, there was a broad set of open showers in one area with lockers. The entire scene made me think of a pool changing room.
Once inside, we went and turned on two showers that were side by side and let them warm up before getting underneath. The warm water was really nice, and then it became almost too hot, but I left it to help take off the grime. Tama handed me soap to wash her back, and that's the way it started, but soon, my slippery soaped hands slipped in front to help wash her breasts as well. Tama moaned and then leaned into pressing her body into mine as the soap was rinsed off.
We spent more time in the shower than planned, and I felt weak in the knees by the time I had dried off. During that time, I was flooded with memories of the time we had spent together for the last six months after finding Tama wandering alone and spent the entire time traveling. Together now, we found lockers that somehow already had our names on them, they were digital displays, but it was still interesting to know the had suit ready. Though, when we took the suits out, they were the exact same size.
I was clearly almost double Tama's weight, so I had no idea how I would squeeze into the suit. For Tama, her problem was that the suit looked big on her, but the suit shrank to fit her perfectly when she put it on. I looked back to my suit and attempted to put it on. The material was surprisingly flexible, and the suit stretched to fit my body but not constricting it. The suit had a similar feel to it like the Acura-Gel, I the way that, once in place, you could barely feel it.
After both of us were suited up, we headed out of the room through a door labeled HANGAR BAY.
