Chapter Six
Zoe and Liara woke to the sound of the klaxon siren. Both lovers were struggling to get their bearings after a night of passionate love making. Liara looked over to the clock built into the nightstand. They only had been asleep for about three hours. Zoe had already leaped out of bed and was quickly pulling on her clothes.
"Shepard to Joker. What the hell is going on up there?" Zoe said over the ship's comm. system.
"Fifteen minutes ago, three Geth dropships and a dreadnought appeared on our radar. Five minutes ago, the three ships changed their trajectory to one that would intercept us. XO Pressly ordered battle stations and evasive maneuvers." Joker replied back.
"Stick with the Alliance's rules of engagement. I know that our mission is to deal with the geth but our small frigate could possibly take out those dropships but they are being backed up by that dreadnought. My question is how they discovered us in the first place. I will be up in the CIC momentarily. Page Tali and have her meet me at my post."
"Roger that Commander." Joker replied. Zoe turned back to Liara "Liara, stay here if you want or can you figure out why and or how the Geth detected our presence in the first place. We are dead if our stealth systems are malfunctioning." Zoe said right before she ran out of her cabin. Liara silenly cursed in an old Asari dialect. She was getting fed up of being on a military vessel. Military vessels were really only used for one purpose and purpose was to bring death and destruction to whomever was stupid enough to cross its path.
She got up off of the bed and started to gather her clothing. She found her bra and somehow it landed on Zoe's workstation. She loved how the Asari lace felt on her skin which made her nipples stiffen up. She pulled on the rest of her clothes and then sat down at Zoe's workstation. Thankfully, Zoe didn't ever log off of her terminal. Liara could have found her way in and around the Normandy's classified systems but it rather time consuming. She navigated through most of the Ship computer operation system with a few scanning programs which were looking for abnormalities. Her scans weren't turning up anything unusual until she worked her way into the partition which housed the controls to the stealth system.
Her monitor was saying that every one of the stealth systems but her scans detected added lines of malicious code which allowed anybody to disable the system and not have it register either in the cockpit or the CIC. Before Liara removed the lines of tainted code, she ran a diagnostic to document where and when the code was inserted. She wasn't at all surprised with the results. Once again, Charles Pressly was the culprit. She collected the digital evidence and then began removing the infection. After five minutes, she rebooted up the stealth system.
Love, the stealth systems should be working again. I found and fixed the problem and I have documented all of my work. This was no glitch or malfunction. It was deliberate. It's another strike against our favorite XO. Liara could feel the rage boiling inside of Zoe. Liara knew that she had to calm down Shepard before Zoe went off and threw Pressly into the airlock. She sent peaceful thoughts and calm energy through their connection. It took a few moments before Zoe's anger simmered back down to normal.
Li, write up a full report for me. Everything that you can find on Pressly needs to be seen by either Anderson or Hackett. The Alliance could have tolerated the first of his fuck ups by transferring him off of my ship but to endanger the entire ship and its crew is something inexcusable. I would mount his head to the nose of our ship if I could get away with it. I…
Where is this thirst for revenge coming from?
Pressly put everyone's lives in danger twice. If you didn't fix the stealth systems when you did, there was no way the Normandy could have survived a coordinated attack from three geth dropships and a dreadnought. The geth have no need to take prisoners ergo there would have been no survivors because the geth would have just vaporized any escape pod we might have launched. You saved the entire crew and I love you. So could you please write up that report and I will sign it as soon as I get back to my cabin.
Of course love. It will be waiting on your desk when you get back. I may or may not be back here when you get back. Is there any word from the ground team yet?
They have been waiting for a pick up for about an hour now. Alenko reports that he and his crew swept up the last two Geth Bases but they discovered that there was a fifth hidden base which seems to be the main base for Geth operations in this nebula. We are taking that next base and I want you by my side. Do you think Tali and Ashley can work well with us?
Tali, absolutely, she is a perfect fit for our team. I am not entirely sure of Ashley yet. Is she comfortable working with and around me?
Ash is incredibly strong inside and out. I know she has her moments of xenophobia but she is getting a lot better with it. I wish we could heal all of her wounds and scars but over time we should at least dull some of the pain.
Of course Zoe. I am going to head back to my office and see if there is anything that needs my attention.
I will come find you when it's time to get ready.
Zoe felt Liara pull back into her own head. She then opened up the messaging program on her omni-tool. She was surprised to see Ashley's name online.
:USER-ZoeShep11-has logged on.
ZS: Sorry it's taking a long time for you guys to catch a ride from us. We had some unexpected party crashers. How did the mission go?
AW: Well if we are speaking freely, Kaiden finally showed his true colors.
ZS: ? Speak your mind Ash. Nobody will ever see these chats the messaging program self deletes all messages when we sign out.
AW: Kaiden essentially put me in charge of guarding the Mako while the three boys got to go play.
ZS: You are telling me that Alenko parked and got out of the Mako? There was no need to leave the Mako at all. It's not like you guys had to storm an underground bunker. I am going to give him a piece of my mind. Secondly, I want you on the assault on the main base. Are you up for another mission so quickly?
AW: Since I pretty much did nothing the last two missions, I'm good for one more. Skipper, please wait until you have both mine and Alenko's ground reports. I think Kaiden believes that I am after his job. As much as I want to rid the world of the Williams curse, I would never want to get promoted because somebody else fucked up. G2G Lenko's looking at me.
:USER-ANIRONWILL-has logged off.
Zoe swore to herself. It seemed that she was surrounded by egotistical penis driven jackasses. She wanted to go on a long run in fresh air to clear her mind but that was nearly impossible on space ship. She was almost looking forward to the next ground mission. Fighting may not have been an approved form of therapy but it sure made her aggression go away a lot quicker than sitting on some shrink's couch. Yet Liara's innocent observation gave her pause. Zoe was never one for revenge but lately her fuse grew shorter every day. Zoe needed a vacation but probably wasn't going to get one any time soon. Zoe made her way up to the cockpit. The doors to the cockpit were rarely ever used but for this conversation Zoe felt that she needed a bit of privacy.
"Hey Joker, how's it going?" Zoe asked her helmsman.
"Uhh… Commander, it's nice that you came to visit me and all but I am a little busy at the moment. We have three geth drop ships currently on a course that will intercept us very shortly." Joker said nervously and without looking up from his flight console.
"Don't worry about a thing. They won't be able to see us despite the fact that they were able to find us in the first place. Liara fixed that problem. They will fly right by us. Take us down to the surface of Rayingri so we can pick up the ground team. Anyways Joker, I wanted to get your impression of Pressly. Who would you back me or Pressly if asked by say the Alliance Brass?"
"Is that a trick question? It's a no-brainer for me? I'd back you in a heartbeat compared to that self centered man who suffers from a rectual cranium inversion." Joker said as he starred at his displays in disbelief. The four geth ships flew right by the Normandy. Joker let out a big sigh of relief. "I guess our stealth systems aren't always working at one hundred percent. Better not put any of the past half hour's activity in the ship's logs." Joker said half jokingly. Zoe looked at Joker with a scowled expression.
"You're just lucky enough that I like you Joker and your name doesn't appear in the logs as much as it should have. I let a lot of things slide as long as you do your job. So keep your nose and your terminal clean otherwise it's a weekend of cooking or cleaning duty when we next make port instead of time off." Zoe said as she unlocked the cockpit door. She was surprised to see Executive Officer and Most Wanted Man Charles Pressly standing just on the other side of the sliding door.
"What is the reasoning behind locking the cockpit door? It is certainly against Alliance regulations." Pressly said in his annoying nasal voice. Zoe had to keep her boiling anger in check. She really wanted to throw him into the airlock and space his sanctimonious ass.
"I know that regulation you are referencing but that regulation only applies to the flight operations and control crew. I believe you are quoting from their operations manual rather than the standard Alliance Navy regulations manual. Secondly XO, I had a private yet urgent matter that I needed Joker's assistance with. Somehow the Geth were able to see right through our stealth systems. There is nobody knows this ship's systems backwards and forwards better than Joker. We were able to find and temporarily bypass the glitch. I will have the full report ready for the ship's log. Since the geth threat has temporarily subsided, I have ordered Joker to pick up the ground crew. If you don't know already, we have one last geth base to hit. I need to prep my ground team. Please step aside XO." Zoe said before she walked past the pompous pinhead. She saw Tali standing near the galaxy map. A smile graced Zoe's lips.
"Thank you for getting her so quickly Tali. I thought Adams would have had you working overtime on some redundant system." Zoe said as she approached Tali. When Zoe was within a foot of Tali she then whispered, "Still got that special present of mine?" Tali was lucky that her suit didn't have a clear visor because she would never be able to stop blushing as all of her blood ran straight for her slender cheeks. Tali quickly regained her composure.
"No Chief Engineer Adams and I were reviewing the Normandy's maintenance protocols and repair scheduling to see if I had any ideas for improvement. As for your other inquiry yes I do. Now does my captain need from her only Quarian engineering expert?" Tali asked. "If you are still in an engineering m, I was wondering if it was possible to in anyway improve the Galaxy map interface. As beautiful as it is, it's a massive waste of space. The only function I currently need the map for is for plotting courses. What I would kill for would be a link from my personal terminal in my quarters to the galaxy map. Important messages come in and I may miss them if I am on the bridge or here in the CIC. Another major upgrade to the map would be a tactical overlay to the map showing any and all ships in the vicinity. Seeing up on the map would help me devise counter attack strategies." Zoe said.
"You must dreaming Shepard because that would take a massive overhaul to accomplish that would come with an astronomical price tag. I doubt the Alliance or any politician could ever approve of such an expenditure for a few creature comforts. However I like your ideas about the personal terminal by the galaxy map. Fast and accurate communication wins more battles than sheer fire power." Tali replied.
"Don't tell that to Vakarian or we will never see him again. He would be Lost in a world of him calibrating something. Anyway, I did have another reason for asking you up here." Zoe said.
"Sixty seconds until we reach the atmosphere of Raygrini" Joker said over the PA.
"I am thinking of bringing Liara on the next mission. I want you and Ashley to keep an eye on her. Ash will take care of us from the rear with her sniper rifle and you a crack shot with that Spectre shotgun I got you. I want to see how well she holds up in a fire fight." Zoe said quietly.
"I'm not trying to second guess you Shepard but are you really sure? Can you both separate yourself enough so that you can give her direct orders without her questioning them? I will happily look over her but I think I raise a valid point." Tali said worried.
"You do bring up a very valid point. That separation is paramount and if it's not followed deaths could occur. I will give her a pep talk when we are planet side." Zoe said as she felt the Normandy touch down on the surface of Raygrini. "I want you to start prepping for the next mission. Have a meal first though according to the course I plotted we only have an hour or so until we hit the Grissom System. I need to go see the Quartermaster to pick up a new set of armor for our newest member to the ground team. Oh and make sure we have a ton of those amazing Sledgehammer rounds. Those things rip through any small geth unit." Tali nods as she follows Zoe down the curved staircase to the crew deck. She pressed the button for the elevator as she saw Zoe make her way towards Lt. Alenko who was still in his armor. The elevator came quickly and Tali got in.
"Lieutenant, could I see you in quarters for a moment?" Zoe asked nonchalantly. Kaiden nodded his acquiescence and followed Zoe into her cabin. Zoe locked down her cabin as soon as Kaiden walked over the door's threshold. Zoe quickly spun around and got within a few inches of Kaiden's face.
"I want to know why you endangered the whole squad by making the decision to leave the Mako. I have seen the preliminary reports on your two missions and both times you decided that leaving a heavy tank was the best way to accomplish your goals. Not to mention leaving a world class shot to guard the Mako instead of using her talents more effectively. I do not want to hear any excuses because I expect that sort of crap from entry level grunts and not seasoned lieutenants. I expect better judgment next time and a full after action report due asap. You are dismissed." Zoe said as she saluted Alenko quickly. She released the lock on her cabin. As soon as the door closed again, she took a few deep breaths to assuage her growing aggravation level.
Zoe slowly began pulling off her clothes and tossed them into her hamper. She knew that her hair was a mess but she was going to be wearing a helmet for the next mission. She walked over to her built in closet and pulled out her compression shirt and pants. She wore these two bits of clothing under her armor. The material was super flexible and allowed her to go without a bra or panty. It also helped absorb physical force and tried to minimize injuries. She couldn't help but admire how her large breasts looked in this shirt. Her nipples hardened at the thought of seeing her like this. She swore that someone was reading her mind when her door chimed. Somebody wanted to see her for something. She invited in whoever was standing outside of her cabin.
"Chief, I thought you be would be grabbing a meal with the rest of the crew. I need you ready for the next mission. I can't have my best sniper give away her position because her stomach decided to rumble." Zoe said trying to hold back a laugh.
"No, Skipper, I didn't feel like eating with the rest of the ground team. First, have you seen how Wrex eats? That alone makes my appetite disappear. Second, you must have said something to Kaiden because he came out to the mess and gave me the stink eye. Third, I can't repress that urge you saw just after Therum. It's been slowly building and I can't control this insatiable lust must longer. I am desperate for your help." Ash said. Zoe noticed a rather large wet spot on Ash's light grey compression pants.
"Shit Ash are you sure I am the one to help you? I am your superior. I…" Zoe was interrupted by Ash's large soft lips finding their mark dead center of Zoe's lips. Zoe felt Ash slide her hands down to her ass and gave it a firm squeeze. Ash pulled her head back from a very intoxicating kiss.
"As I see it, you are my friend more than you are my commanding officer. While you told me that you and Liara were an item. I detected your very lovely aroma coming from our little Quarian friend too. Care to explain yourself?" Ashley said.
"If I let you in on this secret there is no going back. If you betray this secret, there is a way for Liara to painfully remove it from any persons mind including your own. Are you sure?" Zoe asked. Ash couldn't find her voice so she simply just nodded her head yes.
"Liara has a plan to build a collective of intelligent sexy females to support me in my fight to rid the galaxy of evil. She already recruited Tali and was going to start working on you until I put a stop to it. I knew that you needed to come to me in your own time. I'm not happy that it is this lustful state that you approached me but life is never perfect. You know that Liara and I are bonded to each other but what you may not know is that Tali is starting the bonding process too. I'm afraid I can't explain it much better than that. My only concern about you joining this collective is Liara. She really is one of a kind. Trust me on that. There is no other asari out there like Liara."
"Are you trying to steer me away from this collective as you so called it?"
"Not at all, I want you to join us but you are going to learn and see some very shocking things when you are a fully bonded member. The bonding process alone isn't for the faint of heart. It's quite powerful. Now on to bigger and better things, what can little old me do to you to help you out?" Zoe asked.
"I need a big cock slamming deep in my wet dripping pussy. I need my breasts attacked. I need…" Ashley was interrupted by Zoe's slim lips landing right on hers. Zoe's lips bit and nibbled on Ashley's until Ashley opened up her lip so that Zoe's tongue could slither in.
Without missing a beat Zoe worked her hands underneath Ash's compression shirt. She was pretty sure that she and Ashley were the same size and Zoe had a hankering for big milky tits. She hiked Ash's shirt up over her large creamy tits. She lead her tongue down past Ashley's chiseled chin and slender neck to her large rosy nipples. Zoe latched onto Ash's left nipple. Zoe couldn't keep her lips off of Ash's nipples but why oh why did she taste a hint of mint and raspberry.
"By the surprised look in your eyes, I see you have a part of my good luck ritual and prayer before every battle in which I plan to fight. My first girlfriend thought my nipples didn't taste right so I applied some minty raspberry lip balm to my nipples and it has stuck with me ever since. That lip balm not only makes my nipples stiffer but it also keeping the skin near perfect for your silky lips. However, I don't need or want sensuous loving. I need my superior to bend me over the galaxy map and claim me like an undiscovered planet." Ash said as she pulled away from Zoe.
"If that's the case, I suggest you punch in the code 314159 into my foot locker at the foot of my bed and take your pick out something you like." Zoe said.
Ashley walked over to Zoe's bed bent over and gave Zoe quite an eye full. She wiggled her large shapely muscular ass. Zoe couldn't help herself. She raced over to Ash and pulled down Ash's compression pants past her knees. Zoe then ran the fingers of her right hand over Ash's dripping folds. Ash felt her body shiver from Zoe's touch. Her head dropped down and she was staring at Zoe's secured footlocker. She punched in the code and the lid automatically opened. Ash couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing. It was one of the largest collections of sex toys and other such accessories. Her eyes rapidly assessed Zoe's collection and she zeroed in fast on the one she wanted.
"Why am I always surprised when everyone picked Miss Mighty Magenta? Don't worry Ash, I take the best care of all my toys but you might want to run that under some hot water first. This cool recycled air isn't the friendliest ally to that large jelly dildo." Zoe said with a smile. She pointed Ash to her bathroom and saw her new lover make her way towards said room. Zoe started digging in her foot locker. She found her well worn leather harness buried under her glass butt plug and anal beads. Zoe removed the rest of her clothing and pulled on the leather harness. She set the straps and then walked over to her work terminal. She locked down her cabin and activated the anti-eavesdropping protocol.
Ashley came out of the bathroom with the big dildo in her hand. She gave it to Zoe and Zoe attached it to her harness. Zoe then picked up a small glass bottle of Pānī. Pānī was made on Thessia and was the most expensive erotic lubricant in the universe. The effects of Pānī gave the user sensations spine-tingling vibration. Zoe popped the bottle's top open and drizzled a small amount on to Mighty Magenta. What Zoe loved about Pānī was that it stayed on the surface of a sex toy which meant that she didn't have to reapply the lube due to heavy use.
Without warning, Zoe threw Ashley into the bulkhead wall but Ash was very nimble and was able to absorb the impact with her quick reflexes and strong shoulder muscles. What she couldn't prepare for was the sudden and deep insertion of the very large dildo into her slick folds. Zoe was relentlessly jack hammering her hips forwards and backwards so fast that she had to grab onto Ash's strong womanly hips for support. Ashley couldn't catch her breath. She was panting like an animal but Zoe was scratching every itch and desire she secretly had. Ash always wanted a partner that she could trust enough to allow that partner to be rough with her. There was not one person outside of her family that she trusted more than Zoe Shepard which was strange because she only knew Shepard a few weeks at most. There was just something intangible that drew Ashley to the commander.
Ashley was nearing her third peak. Zoe was a demon with that strap-on. The first two peaks were just warm ups compared to the one that was building throughout her entire body. The ribbed surface of Zoe's dildo tickled her clit with each deep thrust. It was lucky because normally she would have to throttle her clit along with being drilled. She wasn't prepared for the most powerful orgasm she ever had before. Her orgasm hit and it hit hard. Ash's pussy gripped down on the dildo as fluid gushed out of her crammed pussy.
"OOOOH MMMMYYYYY GAAAAAWWWWWDDDDD ZOOEEE!" Ash screamed.
"Who gave you permission to speak let alone use my first name?" Zoe growled out. She took her left hand off of Ash's hip and gave Ash's shapely ass a loud painful slap. Ashley yelped out in surprise as a sharp pain emanated out from her ass. Ash couldn't take much more punishment. With one hand firmly planted on the bulkhead, Ash waved for Zoe that she was very satisfied. It was funny because she felt empty when Zoe pulled that big dildo out from her folds.
"We still have a mission to get through Skipper. I have to keep up my energy but that was exactly what I needed to get over that stress. I was surprised that you pulled that last stunt with my ass." Ashley said as she saw Zoe dismantling her harness. Zoe then took the leather harness and dildo to the bathroom and gave both a thorough cleaning. She then grabbed a towel and dried off the big dildo. She hung up her harness next to the shower. She walked back out in to her cabin unlocked her foot locker and stored the dildo inside the locker.
"I was worried that I might have gone too far by yelling at you and then slapping your ass. Trust is something amazing when we earn it yet can be lost in the blink of an eye. I know we have a mission to get ready for but I'm really grateful that I have earned your trust because you have earned mine." Zoe said as she walked over to Ash. She pulled the beautiful busty brunette into a hug and then gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "Come on Ash, we've got a mission to prep for and I need you to keep an eye on Liara. I want to see how she handles herself in a combat situation. I'm pretty sure she won't have any problems but just to be sure Tali and I will also be observing her." Zoe said.
"Of course I will keep an eye on her Skipper. I would have done it regardless. She is a member of our crew." Ashley said. She then bent over and picked up her lacy pink thong. "A little birdie told me that you were missing a lavish piece of underwear. So I want to gift one of my favorite pieces as thank you for all that you have done for me." Ash said as she passed her special panty. Zoe accepted the thong. She walked over to her bed and laid the thong down on her pillow. She walked back over Ashley and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"I'm really glad you decided to take that leap of faith and join our little group. I don't think there are two more caring people than Tali and Liara." Zoe said as she bent over and picked up her compression clothing. She tossed it on to her bed. "I think we both should shower. We don't have much time before we need to be in the shuttle bay. If you wash my back, I'll wash yours, you game?" Zoe asked.
"As long as it's just a quick hot cleansing shower I am game anything else might get us in trouble. Those luke warm showers that rest of the crew and I have to endure is a punishment that should be deemed cruel and unusual." Ashley said as she followed Zoe into her bathroom. The shower was hot, therapeutic, and quick. Luckily the compression shirt covered that rather large hickey that Zoe gave Ash on her neck. Both solders helped each other into their clothing. Zoe shut off the anti eavesdropping protocol and unsealed her cabin. She then followed Ash into the mess. They grabbed some grub and ate very quickly. Joker announced over the PA that they had arrived in the orbit over Notaban.
Zoe was first to finish her meal. She told Ash that she wanted to check on Liara and that she would meet her down in the shuttle bay. She told Ash to have a pistol modified with a recoil damper and a high caliber barrel. Hopefully with Ash's modifications, the HMW pistol will serve Liara well. Ash nodded and said she would. After a quick elevator ride, Zoe first made her way down to the Normandy's quartermaster. She asked the quartermaster for the light Phantom armor made by the Serrice Council. Zoe then added a medical exoskeleton upgrade. She wanted to make sure that Liara was protected but still quite mobile. The Quartermaster packed the armor up in an easy to carry case. He also threw in a set of compression clothing. Since Liara and Ashley were pretty much the same body type, it was easy to find adequate gear for Liara. Another quick elevator ride had Zoe back on the crew deck. She make her way through the medical area and through to Liara's makeshift office.
"You've had quite a time so far today haven't you love. I was not expecting such a powerful blast of love lust and lechery coming from you. I am glad you were able to convince Ashley to join our special group. She and Tali are perfect to evaluate my battlefield readiness. I wouldn't want to distract you from destroying as many geth as possible." Liara said with a smile.
"First off T'Soni, I need you to strip off all of your clothes." Liara was surprised by the tone of Zoe's voice but she did what was asked of her. "I'm pretty sure you haven't worn professional armor in a long time if ever. We have to do something to keep those beautiful blue breasts of yours from taking a few bruises or bullet wounds." Zoe said as she placed the armor case down on Liara's desk. She opened the case and tossed the compression clothing over to Liara.
"This is standard issue compression clothing. I won't lie to you. This clothing is going to feel like you're being squeezed from every single angle but you'll get used to it. We all do because we adapt to survive. Wearing this stuff will make wearing the armor a lot easier. It also will help when we air drop in the Mako." Zoe instructed. Liara struggled to pull on the new pieces of clothing. New compression gear was always tough to break in which meant the first time wearing it was a struggle. She had a look of discomfort on her face. Zoe looked down and could see why. That big blue beautiful cock was apparently not a fan of captivity.
"Since I recently acquired a very expensive license with the Serrice Guard Armory, I picked out a Phantom armor set. It's classified light armor and will stop most small arms fire up to a point and shouldn't hamper or hinder any of your biotics. I modified the armor by adding a medical exoskeleton mod which should increase the rate your health recuperates. I wanted to add a micro shield generator but that seemed redundant with your talents with biotic barriers. We may change that in the future." Zoe said as she demonstrated the features of Liara's new armor. "Is that going to be a problem? I can't imagine you'd want tight armor and compression clothing on with that large erection too boot."
"I cannot help it Zoe. It seems to have a mind of its own and it seems to know when you are close to me. You are right but we don't have the time to properly assuage its needs." Liara said worriedly.
Without saying another word, Zoe dropped to her knees and pulled down the front of Liara's compression pants. Her big beautiful Liṅga sprang out of that tight dark prison. Zoe opened her mouth and caught the dark blue head with her soft lips. Zoe then wrapped her left hand around Liara's thick shaft. Zoe felt Liara intertwine her fingers in Zoe's dark auburn locks. Zoe's free hand tickled Liara's wet pussy before she brought her hand around and gave Liara's shapely ass a good squeeze. Liara let out a deep lust filled moan. Sweet beads of pre-cum leaked out of the tip. If this was just an appetizer, Zoe was looking forward to the main course.
Zoe was pretty sure that Liara's liṅga at least ten inches long because she could only get three quarters of the colossal cock into her mouth. She tried to make her way down to the base but even relaxing her jaw and tempering her gag reflex still wasn't enough. She mentally sighed in defeat. Zoe then pulled her head back to the tip of Liara's liṅga and started to hum the bass line to that new Expel 10 single. Zoe couldn't see Liara's eyes but without knowing it Liara unintentionally slipped into a meld with Zoe.
This feeling is something I cannot even describe. I wouldn't even try because my futile attempt couldn't even be expressed with words. I have seen vids where human females do this to human males but this truly is something else.
Even in my own mind you talk too much T'Soni. I love you to death but seriously just shut up and enjoy all that I am giving you. If it's not too much trouble, I going to be blocking you out so that I can focus on what I'm doing. To emphasize her point, Zoe took her free hand and roughly plunged two fingers into Liara's azure. Liara couldn't help but thrust her hips forward wherein almost the whole shaft was in Zoe's throat. Zoe puffed out her cheeks and snuck a few breathes through her nose.
Zoe knew that she had to finish up soon. She sped up her tongue action in conjunction with her hand stroking Liara's shaft up and down. Liara was unconsciously bucking her hips forward to match each one of Zoe's strokes. She was also encouraging Zoe to go faster and faster until Liara suddenly stopped. An eruption of a thick sweet sticky solution shot out from the fat tip of her liṅga. Zoe mused that Liara must have had some tension she needed to release because this was quite the amount of cum. It was utterly delicious and strangely Zoe swore it gave her a boost of energy.
"Commander Shepard and Dr. T'Soni please report to the cargo hanger. Once again Commander Shepard and Dr T'Soni, please report to the cargo hanger." The Normandy's VI announced ship wide over the public address system.
"Shit, there is no way I am going to live this one down. Come on Liara, let's get the rest of your new armor on." Zoe said trying not to elevate her level of embarrassment any higher. The two lovers quickly sorted out and put on Liara's new armor. Zoe told Liara that she would meet her and the rest of the ground team in the cargo bay. Zoe ran to her cabin and quickly suited up in her own armor set.
Within ten minutes of the most annoying reminder, Zoe was picking up her trusty pistol, assault rifle and sniper rifle. She had to commend Ash for her top notch work. She climbed up into the Mako and stoically took her seat. Zoe gave the order to initiate the Mako Launch Sequence right after she strapped herself into the driver's seat. Thirty seconds later, the four crew members tried their damnedest not to scream. Liara wasn't so lucky. Zoe kept her head and activated the Mako's auto landing protocol. The Mako shook as the retro boosters fired which slowed the Mako's descent. The tank still make a hard landing but much of the force was absorbed by the tank's massive suspension system.
"So Commander, I have to ask you about what held both you and the good doctor earlier." Ashley brazenly said. Zoe decided that she would fight fire with fire.
"I gave Liara her first blow job ever and it was fantastic for the both of us." Zoe said nonchalantly as she put the Mako in gear and gunned the engines. The jolting force threw those who were unprepared back into their seats.
"But… I… thought… all… all… Asari… looked like human females." Ashley stammered back.
"I thought I told you that Liara was one of a kind even for Asari. I'm sure if you ask nicely she will let you see it maybe even play with it. Because you will be in awe of it just as I was the first time I laid my beautiful emerald eyes upon it. Now luckily we didn't broadcast that back to the Normandy because I deactivated the radio right after you asked that question." Zoe explained. She punched a few commands into the tank's computer and reactivated the radio.
"Shepard to Normandy, we experienced a rougher than normal landing and had to make a quick repair to the radio. I recommend that the Normandy's planetary terrain scanning system be slated for an upgrade."
"Normandy to Shepard. I'll add your recommendation to the log Commander. We wish you good luck and happy hunting. Normandy out." Joker replied.
The surface of Solcrum carried a level one heat hazard with the surface temperature hovering around three hundred and fifty degrees Celsius. Zoe wanted Ashley to watch over them from the cliffs but that wasn't possible with extreme temperatures. Once again, Zoe reverted back to her tried and true strategy: Hit them hard and hit them fast. They had already hit four other Geth outposts. Zoe could strategize all she wanted but she had to believe that the Geth knew about the other attacks. Zoe was mentally preparing for a fight.
Before they were to raid the Geth outpost, the Normandy detected an anomaly southwest of the landing zone. That anomaly turned out an ancient Asari capsule which stored mostly worthless artifacts valued only by researchers until Liara's eyes lit up. She had found another folio of Matriarch Dilinaga. Liara told Zoe that Dilinaga was one of the first Asari Matriarchs to explore the galaxy and that her writings were extremely rare and valuable. Zoe knew that the only progress Liara made on the previous folio was discovering who its author was. Perhaps Liara knew somebody back on Thessia who could translate the folios.
On their way to the geth base, they also placed geo-markers at mineral deposits of magnesium, thorium, and uranium. The Mako ran across another damaged space capsule which Tali was able to savage some advanced weapon upgrades. It was a shame that the Mako didn't have a built in weapons bench otherwise Ash would have been able to modify her sniper rifle with an enhanced barrel. Zoe had to quietly remind her to stop drooling over the new upgrades.
The Geth Base could be seen off in the middle of a valley as the Mako slowly crested a large hill. The Targeting computer registered two large Geth Colossus units along with three small sniper units standing in geth watch towers which circled the perimeter of the underground bunker. Zoe stopped the Mako at the top of the hill. They were far enough away from base that the Mako wasn't acquired by the ground unit radar capabilities. Zoe turned back to her crew. It was time for another tactical brainstorming session.
"I am thinking of using the same tactics that we used against the Thresher Maw on Edulos however this time none of us will be leaving the Mako. Our hard suits weren't designed for long term exposure to these high temperatures. Tali, is there any way you can hack or disrupt any of the Colossus units from inside the Mako? If there isn't we should add it to our upgrade wish list. I've never heard of a tank with a built-in cyber warfare suite. It would certainly make fighting the geth a hell of a lot easier if we could hack them and get them to fight each other from the Mako." Zoe said.
"The only way right now is to use the built-in radio system but I would have to dismantle it and it would leave us without a working radio to communicate with the Normandy. However, with the right supplies it is something we can easily upgrade. I think I can get all the part I would need on the Citadel if you are willing to spend the credits but they won't be cheap." Tali replied.
"I'm pretty sure that large deposit of thorium will cover the cost of any of the supplies you may need with credits left over to fund an extravagent shopping spree for the four of us to Shaannea's on the Presidium. Do you know how much Rosenkov is willing to pay for even a kilogram of thorium? We are looking at a payday of over five hundred thousand credits and over a million if you factor in the magnesium and uranium. We are going to have a very nice shore leave. Trust me Ash, you will look divine in an Asari silk dress from Shaannea's. Anyways, does anybody think that a quick run & gun against these geth units is a bad idea?" Zoe said. She didn't hear any response so she threw the Mako in to high gear. "Hold on to your sweet sexy butts because this is going to be a bumpy ride!" Zoe shouted over the roar of the engine.
The Mako flew off of the tall hill it had once climbed only minutes ago. With Zoe at the wheel, the suspension systems were working at their limits. The Mako was lucky to have the ability to fire thrusters from the bottom of the hull. Even with the thrusters, Zoe's terrible driving skills were harsh on every one of the Mako's systems. Zoe's lead feet did pay off though. They caught the Geth units by surprise. Ash was manning the cannon while Liara was controlling the machine guns. Tali helped them both by operating the targeting computer which made things easier when dealing with Zoe's erratic driving style.
After nearly twenty minutes of bobbing, weaving, dodging and dancing, the crew of the Mako finally dispatched the two Geth Colossus units. The battle was not won cleanly though. The Mako's shields were on the verge of collapsing and they were nearly out of ammunition. Zoe parked the Mako as close as she could to the entrance of the subterranean bunker. Zoe gave the order and her crew climbed out of the Mako into a blast furnace. The door to the bunker was locked but Tali took down the lock in under ninety seconds. Zoe noticed a strange logo just above the door lock. The logo had a white outline shaped like an emerald flanked by two bent orange lines. Tali told them that it was unusual to see a logo on a geth outpost because geth don't see the need to mark their own territory. Zoe just stored that tidbit about the logo away for another day.
The bunker still had power which was good for the air circulation and ventilation system because even subterranean bunkers sometimes got hot. The team noticed that there was arterial blood spray on the walls of the entryway. The crew had faced the Geth before and the geth oozed a silver colored solution when they were wounded or killed. The blood on the walls and floors was a very familiar red. At one point or another, this bunker held humans. New questions started to swarm inside Zoe's head. Did the Geth target this bunker because Saren gave them an order? There was a lot of blood but so far the crew hadn't found any bodies.
Zoe was on point with Liara and Tali flanking her. Ashley was covering their rear flank. They came to another locked door with that same logo they saw on the outer door. It took the combined efforts of both Zoe and Tali to break through the door's locking mechanism. This lock was different than the first one. It was not one that they had come across before when they went to deal with Geth controlled areas. The lock had both Geth and Human technology somehow working together. Tali wasn't sure if the lock was originally of human design and the geth layered their technology over it or somebody somehow synthesized a process where both technologies could be able to work together.
Zoe stopped Tali from finally opening the door because she heard movement coming from behind the door. They were about to step into a potential hot zone. Zoe signaled to Ash that she heard movement coming from the other side of the door. Zoe then motioned to Liara to get behind her while Ash moved forward to take point. Then Ash switched from her sniper rifle to her assault rifle and made sure she had a full magazine of shredder rounds ready. Ashley's weapons check reminded the rest of the squad to check their weapons readiness. Zoe looked at Ashley who nodded her head that she was ready to go. Zoe nodded back as she raised her assault rifle and looked through the new optic scope.
The sliding door was accompanied by a soft whoosh sound which was quickly muffled by the sound of automatic rifle fire. The four person squad had walked into an ambush. Inside the large main room was a full Geth squadron. Ashley and Liara teamed up to take down most of the smaller geth units. Zoe saw that they made a good team where Liara would use singularity, lift or status to get their enemies out into the open so that Ash could tear them down with her assault rifle or high impact grenade.
Zoe and Tali were after that large Geth Juggernaut on the upper balcony when Tali was zapped by a concealed Geth Sapper on the wall and dropped quickly to the floor. Before Zoe could even rush to Tali's aid, a Geth sniper drilled Tali in the left shoulder and that was when Zoe got angry. Zoe didn't remember dropping her assault rifle but it wasn't in her hands when she needed it. She needed to get to Tali to start immediately helping her teammate.
Somehow Zoe manifested her anger and converted it to physical energy. When Zoe unknowingly raised her left arm, a ball of blue energy leapt out from her extended hand. The ball of energy shot across the room and when it reached Tali the ball encapsulated her. The pulse rifle shots from the Geth weren't able to penetrate the shield. Zoe pulled out her trusty HMWP-X and dove for cover. As she peered out from cover, she saw the Juggernaut making its way over to Tali. Zoe didn't know how long that shield would hold. She peppered the Juggernaut with rounds of shredder ammo until she heard its shields drop. She quickly reloaded one high expolosive round into her pistol. High explosive rounds were notorious for overheating the barrel of a gun. Zoe only needed one round as she broke away from her cover. She took aim at the Juggernaut who was trying to repair its shields and she put that explosive round dead center of its head which caused the Juggernaut's entire body to explode. Silvery entrails were sprayed upon the walls.
Zoe let out a sigh of relief. That powerful Geth unit was dead. She ran over to Tali. The blue shield was gone and Tali was moving very slowly. Zoe could tell that Tali was in a lot of pain. She radioed Liara and Ashley to inform them that Tali was down and that she needed their help. Ashley said that she could handle the remaning geth on her own. Zoe told her to radio back if she needed help. Zoe kneeled down next to Tali as she fished out her first aid kit. Luckily she grabbed the full first aid kit which had both types of Medi-Gel. She quickly opened up the Medi-gel for Dextro Based life forms and applied two doses to Tali's shoulder. While Medi-gel was a wonderful improvement to the medical field, it wasn't a cure-all. It also stung when first applied to any open wound. The two stage compound first cleans and sterilized the wound then administers a low grade dose of morphine to numb the area. The dextro based Medi-gel was developed by the Quarians to be immediately applied to a wound which hopefully would cut down on the risk of infection.
"Tali, sweet Tali can you hear me? It's Zoe. Can you hear me?" Zoe said as she took Tali's hand within her. Zoe then brought up her omni-tool to check on Tali's vitals. Zoe was sure Tali was in a state of shock but she wasn't a doctor. She could feel a strong steady pulse when she gently squeezed Tali's wrist yet Tali was still unresponsive. Zoe saw a streak of blue out of the corner of her eye. Liara was sprinting like she was being chased. Within a few seconds, Liara was sitting on her knees on the other side of Tali.
"Zoe what happened?" Liara asked softly.
"It happened so fast love. Neither I nor Tali saw a cloaked Sapper hidden on the wall until it unleashed an attack which overloaded Tali's shields. One or two seconds later, she was hit in the shoulder by a sniper round. I quickly blasted both the sapper and the sniper unit. I think I must have run out of ammo for my assault rifle because I would have never dropped it on the ground for any other reason. I saw that Juggernaut making its way towards Tali and I panicked. The thought of losing Tali made me get angry. Somehow, I felt this energy balling up inside me. My mind had only one thought: Save Tali at all cost. I unconsciously raised my left arm and I saw a ball of blue energy shoot out from my palm. It reached Tali and I swear it formed a blue barrier around her body. The Juggernaut fired a few shots from its pulse rifle but those shots just ricocheted off of the barrier. I took care of the Juggernaut with an exploding pistol round to the head and then started to apply Dextro based medi-gel to Tali's shoulder wound. She is still in a mild form of shock." Zoe explained.
"Are you telling me that you somehow developed biotic abilities? I thank the Goddesses that you were able to protect Tali in her desperate time in need. However this event only raises more questions than it answers. I…" Liara started but was interrupted by a soft whisper.
"Shep… Shepard… is that you?" Tali whispered. Tali gently squeezed Zoe's hand.
"I am here Tali." Zoe softly replied.
"What happened to me? Why does it hurt all over my body?" Tali asked. Zoe could hear the pain in her voice. Zoe was tempted to give Tali another dose of morphine but any more doses could put Tali's vitals in danger.
"We were ambushed from behind by a Geth sapper. The unit hit you with a powerful overload which I'm guessing overloaded your shields and stunned you. Then a split second later, a geth sniper unit landed a round into your shoulder. I took care of both the sapper and the sniper units then I took down the Juggernaut unit." Zoe explained.
"A…A…Juggernaut unit…by yourself? That should have been impossible." Tali whispered.
"Apparently, I make my living doing the impossible. Nobody ever expected a woman to graduate the N7 program at the top of her class. I was the only one to survive a massive ambush of thresher maws on Akuze. I even was able to throw some sort of biotic shield that surrounded you right before that Juggernaut got any closer. No human has ever been known to have that type of biotic power that is able to throw up a portable protection dome. So saving the most beautiful Quarian in the galaxy is just another day for me." Zoe said and followed that by a soft giggle.
"I'm glad you are able to pull off such feats that saving a simple quarian is a walk in the park for you." Tali said with some vigor returning to her voice.
"The only thing I want from you Tali is to rest." Zoe said as she brought up her comm. unit. "Shepard to Williams: Have a sit-rep for me?"
"Williams here: I just put down the last geth in the remaining rooms. I think you should see what I am seeing Commander. I don't think this was ever a Geth base. Please join me and I'll show you what I can't describe over a radio." Williams radioed back.
"Liara, can you watch over Tali while I investigate what Ash has discovered?"
"Of course I will love." Liara brought up her omni-tool and linked it to Tali's suit. She watched Zoe get up and walk towards the back rooms of the underground complex. Liara punched in the radio frequency for the Normandy Med-Bay. "Liara T'Soni hailing Dr. Chakwas: come in Dr. Chakwas."
"This is Dr. Chakwas. I'm reading just fine Liara. What seems to be the problem?"
"Tali was injured. I am transmitting her vitals to you as we speak. According to Zoe, Tali was first struck down by a powerful overload which obitherated her shielding and disoriented her followed by a sniper's round to the left shoulder area seconds later. Zoe was quick to dispatch the attacking units when rushed to Tali's side and started battlefield treatment protocols. Tali was unresponsive when Zoe first started treatment but then regained consciousness a few minutes or so after treatment began during which her pulse and heart rate stayed strong. Liara explained.
"Tali's vitals are on the rebound. I am assuming that the gunshot wound was a through and through which didn't hit any bone or anything structural otherwise she would have been in a lot more pain. Aside from the shock and the shoulder wound, Tali will make a quick recovery. I can do a little cosmetic work on the wound so it won't leave a scar. I'd also prescribe four to five days of rest or extreme light duty. It could have been a lot worse had Zoe not tended to Tali so quickly. I believe the Mako has a portable stretcher on it in case Tali is not able to walk on her own back to the Mako." Karin responded back.
"Of course Doctor, thank you for your time and expertise. I believe we are wrapping this mission up soon. I just have to check in with Commander Shepard and Chief Williams."
"Of course Doctor, Chakwas out." With Chakwas signing off, Liara closed the comm-link to the Normandy. Liara felt bad that she didn't tell Dr. Chakwas the whole story of their mission but she couldn't be sure that Dr. Chakwas was alone and the line was secured. The doctor would have to be brought up to date if Zoe was in fact developing some form of biotic talent. Liara thought about Zoe and tapped into their bond.
I just spoke with Dr. Chakwas about Tali's injury. She praised your quick response but does recommend that Tali is brought to the Medbay. How is it going with Ashley? What did she want you to see? Liara said through their mental link.
I cannot even begin to describe it but I do not want you to leave Tali's side so I'll do my best to sum it up for you. This bunker never was a geth outpost. This base was constructed by humans to store information which effectively hack proof from the outside. There are eight top of the line data storage servers back here and all but one of the servers were destroyed by fire. If I had to guess somebody leaked the location of this place to somebody who made it a target that a human hating turian would have to send a platoon to destroy. I am copying every bit of data from the remaining server on to as many optical storage discs as I can find. This stuff is heavily encrypted but doesn't have any known Geth code. Humans were responsible for this place's creation and they are responsible for this place's destruction. We are almost done with the duplications. How is Tali? Zoe thought back.
That is a lot to take in. Not to mention that we cannot show this data to anybody because we don't know who it comes from. Tali is doing is doing better minute by minute. Karin recommended the use of the Mako's portable stretcher if need be.
I don't think that will be necessary. I'm pretty sure that Tali would want to walk out of her on her own strength but I will be right by her side to support her should she stumble.
Your caring nature is what I love most about you. Most people in the galaxy try to fake what you can do naturally. We will figure out what was being stored here. I have a sinking suspicion that we were lead here to find this place and I know you feel the same way.
The data collection is complete. Ash and I making our way back to the main hall. Before I forget, did either you or Ash come across any human remains? I ask because I found lots of blood splattered throughout the main hall and yet we have found no signs of human life other than the red blood everywhere. I think the people who were stationed here were killed here and transported elsewhere which is definitely not the Geth's modus operandi. It would be highly unlikely any poorly defended post like this one could have overthrown a Geth ambush. Once again we find ourselves having far too many questions than we have answers.
Liara heard a door on the other side of the room softly whoosh open. Zoe walked into the main hall followed slowly by Ashley. Zoe picked up her assault rifle that she tossed aside during the battle as they made their way back to where Liara and Tali were situated. Ashley was walking around the room checking out if they could salvage anything worthwhile from the geth remains. The only thing that Ashley took was a large assault rifle off of the Geth Juggernaut. Ash had never seen such a large assault rifle that wasn't already mounted to a vehicle or a tripod. Not to mention the sonafabitch was heavy. She would have a field day breaking this gun down in her spare time.
Zoe gave the order to pack it up and head back to the Mako. She gently helped Tali to her feet. She didn't want to let go of the young Quarian because there was a deeper connection that was growing. Tali's first steps were met with gingered hesitation but she looked to her left and saw that Zoe was with her every step of the way. That brought a smile to the young Quarian's masked face. Zoe quietly whispered to Tali that she wanted both her and Liara to start going over the three OSDs that were collected from the surviving server. Tali knew that she was going to be on light duty for a while so she happily agreed to help out Liara.
The ride back to the Normandy was always difficult. The added pressure and gravitational forces were not Tali's friends today. The morphine from the doses of medi-gel had completely worn off and the pain in her shoulder was back in full excruciating force. Luckily, the Normandy was close by and re-docking with the ship took no time at all. Dr Chakwas was waiting for Tali in the cargo bay. She gingerly escorted Tali to the elevator and up to the Med-Bay. Zoe, Ash and Liara went over to the storage lockers and weapons bench. Each member offloaded a few extra weapons that they picked up groundside. Zoe bought a few specialty items over to the Normandy's Quartermaster who would always pay good money for rare finds. Zoe could easily retire to a small beach on a deserted planet with Liara from just a few of these sales alone. It was lucky that she had several bank accounts spread across banks on several planets. Being a Spectre gave her the ability to craft new identities rather easily.
Once the trio had their weapons stored away, Ash said that she was going to stay down in the cargo bay to work on a few of the squad's weapons. Zoe really wanted to give Ash a hug and a kiss but that was out of the question. Rumors were already running rampant that Zoe was forming a harem. The wisest thing she could do was to ignore all that useless chatter. Riding the elevator up to the second deck with Liara wouldn't help anything but some things could not be avoided. They saw that the door to the Med-Bay was in lockdown. Dr. Chakwas must have fully sterilized the room when she heard that Tali had been injured. Tali was in good hands. The only downside of a full Med-Bay lockdown was that Liara was locked out of her office.
Zoe and Liara made their way from the Med-Bay through the galley. Zoe stopped and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, a house salad and a pot of earl grey tea to be delivered to her cabin. The cook gave Zoe a dirty look. The look Zoe shot back to the cook was one that put the fear of Commander Shepard in to him. The cook then said he would deliver her food in about fifteen minutes. Zoe unlocked the door to her cabin and let out a sigh. She saw the flashing light coming from her work station. She wanted to have some personal time with Liara after almost losing a crew member in that firefight. Almost losing Tali rattled her more than she wanted to admit and she also knew that Liara could feel that fear.
"As much as I want and need your soothing consolation, a captain's work is never finished. That salad I ordered is for you love. I would like to atleast share a meal together as I put together all of the reports and check all of my email. I hope we can fall asleep together because I don't have enough energy to rightly satisfy you." Zoe said as she sat down at her workstation. The door bell rang Liara smiled as she walked. She knew exactly what to give Shepard for a pick-me-up. Liara unlocked the door and picked up the tray of food. The cook was wise enough to place two mugs instead of just one.
"Here is the food you ordered. I'm going to hop into the shower. I shouldn't take more than a few minutes." Liara said as she started pulling off her clothing. Zoe smiled. They shared the fact that neither one liked hanging up nor putting away clothing in their proper place. She also was treated to a beautiful sight as Liara sashayed her hips towards the bathroom. Just seeing that big blue ass sway made Zoe's eyes bulged and her mouth water. Zoe didn't notice the fact that Liara had taken one of the mugs with her. Zoe turned around in her chair and logged into the Alliance's network.
She punched in the cockpit's radio frequency. She asked Joker how long it would take them to reach the Citadel. Joker replied that it would take them an hour or two to reach the relay and then about eighteen hours to twenty four hours from the relay to the Citadel depending on how heavy the relay traffic was. She thanked Joker for the update as she opened up her email program. She downloaded all the mission reports from her staff. She quickly read those by Lt. Alenko first. Alenko was a good soldier but let his ego and jealousy get the better of him. She knew he felt threatened by Ashley because Ashley was the better soldier. She had three choices one was speak to him at some point, or she could transfer him off of her ship. The last and least favorable option was to do nothing and let things fester. It was just another task to add to her growing list. There was one email she wasn't expecting to see because she thought that she had cleared up that remaining issue with Admiral Wannos. Clearly Admiral Wannos thought otherwise.
From: Admiral Kireina Wannos
To: Commander Zoe Shepard
Commander,
It would behoove you to not stick your spectre nose in places that it doesn't belong. Do not take this as a threat but as a mere suggestion for you and your crew's safety. Many people don't want the Council involved in human activities even if there are some who would do anything to gain a spot on that same council. I hope to clear all of this up to you soon I'm glad you've agreed to me me. I will see you soon.
Wannos
***DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL. The Alliance reserves the rights to monitor any and all communications. Violations to any military regulations governing communications are subject to court-martial and minimum five year sentence.***
Zoe knew that she was going to have to tread lightly around this Admiral. This Wannos had either friends in high places or access to the Normandy's classified files and logs. She reread the email to see if there were any hidden messages with in the text but the Admiral's email was clear. She was so buried into her work that she jumped up a few inches out of her chair when silky smooth hands began to rub her shoulders. Next she felt silky lips nibbling on her right ear. Zoe released a sigh as a warm cup of tea was placed in front of her. Zoe picked up the cup and took a long sip. She could taste that same unique flavor that was quintessentially Liara. Zoe smiled at how insatiable her lover could be some times.
"How did you know I needed a pick-me-up love?"
"It was in your body language. You are still very tense. I know you were very rattled when Tali was shot. If you stay this tense, you will never get to sleep and I am sure that your nightmares will return. I want you to eat your sandwich, finish that cup of tea and then join me in bed. That is an order Captain." Liara said enthusiastically.
"Ma'am yes ma'am" Zoe returned with the same vigor. Her sandwich was quickly devoured and the tea was quickly drained. Zoe felt a big energy boost as she dove into her bed planted the largest kiss on Liara's lips. Liara whispered that there was nobody who could defeat Saren other than Zoe. Liara knew it was her duty to see that Zoe was in the best mental state. What followed was a long lasting night of passionate love making where each one of Zoe's orifices was flooded by Liara's thick blue goo. They drifted off actual sleep around six. Neither Liara nor Zoe noticed the faint blue glow coming from Zoe's stomach. It was the light of a future yet to come.
