Star Trek Enterprise: Renegade Orion Slave Girls
Chapter 2
The Orions receive their quarters. D'Nesh makes up with Kelby and the two begin dating each other.
As Enterprise sped away from the debris left from the warp core breach of the ship the Orion women used, Captain Archer sat in his chair on the bridge thinking about the situation. They weren't due to arrive Vulcan for another six days. This gave Archer time to find out what the Orions truly had in mind.
"I wonder why the Orions were looking for Enterprise specifically instead of going to Starfleet," said Malcolm.
"I don't know," said T'Pol. "Maybe it is because they knew we have dealt with the Orions before."
"Captain," came Trip's voice over the intercom.
"Archer here."
"I think you should get down to the transporter," said Trip.
"I'll be right there," said Archer as he closed the intercom.
"Be careful Captain," said Malcolm.
"Don't worry. I will. T'Pol, you have the bridge," said Archer as he got up and headed for the turbolift.
"Aye sir," said T'Pol as she took the captain's chair.
Archer went down to the transporter where Trip and the sixteen Orion women were.
"It's kind of crowded in here isn't it Trip?" asked Archer.
"Yes it is," said Trip.
"Did I hear that one of them wanted to speak to commander Kelby," said Archer.
"That was me that made the request," said D'Nesh.
"I'm assuming that you want to apologize to him for seducing him into disabling the ship?" asked Archer, recognizing D'Nesh from their last encounter with Orion women.
"Yes. By the way, I think Kelby is kind of cute," said D'Nesh.
"You may talk to him. Just don't use your pheromones too much because that may affect his performance while on duty," said Archer.
"I understand. By the way, if you don't remember me, I'm D'Nesh," said D'Nesh.
"I don't think you mentioned your name last time," said Archer.
"Oh," said D'Nesh. "When can I speak to Kelby?"
"Kelby is on duty for the next three hours. You can talk to him when he is off-duty. I'll let him know when I get back to Engineering," said Trip.
"Sounds good," said D'Nesh.
"Thanks for saving our lives," said Naras, walking towards Archer.
"Your welcome," said Archer as he extended his hand to shake Naras's hand.
Archer didn't expect Naras to start playing with his hand instead of shaking it. This made him blush. Obviously, she didn't know the concept of shaking hands.
"Captain," said Trip. Trip looked worried, but the other fifteen Orion women were smiling at Archer.
"Oh. I got a little carried away there," said Archer, who was slightly embarassed. He managed to let go of Naras's hand.
"Don't you like it?" asked Naras.
"I didn't expect you to be so flirtatious and affectionate," said Archer. "On our home planet, we shake hands when we meet somebody in person for the first time."
"I'm sorry about that," said Naras. She then shook Archer's hand.
"It's okay Naras. Getting used to being on Enterprise is going to be a big adjustment for all of you," said Archer. "All I ask for you ladies is to not use your pheromones too much."
"I understand you Captain Archer," said Naras.
"I'll have Trip show you to your quarters," said Archer. "Trip if you may, show our guests to their quarters."
"I'd be delighted to Captain," said Trip. "This way ladies."
Trip led the Orion women down the corridor. He opened the door to one of the guest quarters. Naras went inside and looked around the room. Trip followed her inside.
"This will work for me," said Naras.
"I'm glad to hear that," said Trip. "If you are hungry you can always go to the mess hall which is down the hall."
"Thank you," said Naras, smiling at Trip.
"Your welcome," said Trip as he left Naras's quarters and gestured for the other ladies to follow him.
"D'Nesh, your quarters will be right next to her quarters," said Trip as he opened the door next to Naras's quarters.
"Thank you commander Tucker," said D'Nesh as she followed Trip inside.
"How did you know my name?" asked Trip.
"I asked Kelby before I persuaded him to sabotage the engines," said D'Nesh.
"I see," said Trip. "You used his uncertainty to your advantage."
D'Nesh nodded her head.
"I see," said Trip.
"I'm sorry about doing that to him," said D'Nesh.
"It's okay," said Trip.
"I remember where the mess hall is," said D'Nesh.
"I'm sure you do. I'll ask Kelby to come here once his duty shift is over," said Trip as he left D'Nesh's quarters.
The rest of the Orion women were assigned quarters on G Deck. They all seemed very enthusiastic about being on Enterprise.
Trip headed back down to Engineering. As he entered, he noticed Kelby supervising the rest of the engineering crew.
"Commander Kelby," called Trip.
"Yes sir," said Kelby.
"Can I have a word with you?" asked Trip.
"Yeah," said Kelby as he walked towards Trip.
"Kelby, do you know about the Orion women we rescued?" asked Trip.
"Yes," said Kelby.
"One of them, D'Nesh, wants to talk to you after your duty shift is over," said Trip.
"What for?" said Kelby.
"She wants to apologize to you," said Trip.
"For persuading me into sabotaging Enterprise's engines?" asked Kelby.
"Yes. I assigned her and one of the other Orion women two of the guest quarters on this deck near the mess hall. D'Nesh's is the second one from the mess hall," said Trip.
"Okay I will speak with D'Nesh," said Kelby.
Three hours later, Kelby left Engineering and headed for D'Nesh's quarters. He hit the signaling button.
"Come in," said D'Nesh from the other side of the door. Kelby opened the door and entered.
"Hi Kelby," said D'Nesh.
"Hi," said Kelby.
"I'm awfully sorry for persuading you into sabotaging the ship," said D'Nesh.
"Are you serious," said Kelby, who was doubting D'Nesh's honesty.
"I'm dead serious," said D'Nesh. "When the Orion Syndicate executed Navaar for failing to bring Enterprise and Captain Archer to them, Maras and I wondered what we had done. We felt very bad for betraying your crew and exposing them to a very high amount of our pheromones."
"Pheromones?" asked Kelby.
"Oh," said D'Nesh. "Let me explain. Orion women, such as myself, are capable of emitting a very potent pheromone. It makes us irresistible to males of most humanoid species, including your own. That pheromone can allow us to control men if we so desired to."
"I now understand about your pheromones," said Kelby.
"That's good," said D'Nesh.
"What else did you want to say?" asked Kelby.
"I don't know, what do you want to talk about?" asked D'Nesh, batting her eyelashes at Kelby.
"I honestly don't know," said Kelby as he headed for the exit.
"Wait, don't leave," said D'Nesh.
"I thought that was my line," said Kelby without thinking. D'Nesh began to giggle.
"What?" asked Kelby, turning around to face a giggling D'Nesh.
"Nothing really," said D'Nesh. "Why don't you sit down with me?"
Kelby felt that sitting with D'Nesh was the best thing to do. He sat down on the bed.
"That's more like it," said D'Nesh as she sat down next to Kelby. "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" asked Kelby.
"I think you are very attractive," said D'Nesh. She smiled at Kelby
"Thanks," said a blushing Kelby.
"Do you mind if I touch you?" asked D'Nesh.
"I thought Orion women didn't ask for permission to touch," said Kelby.
"Well, can I touch you?" said D'Nesh flirtatiously.
"Yeah. sure. go ahead," said Kelby. He felt D'Nesh's hand begin to rub his back.
"Does that feel good?" asked D'Nesh in a soft voice.
"Yes," said Kelby. D'Nesh smiled at him.
"So, do you find me attractive?" asked D'Nesh.
"I'd be crazy if I said no," said Kelby.
"That means that you find me attractive," said D'Nesh.
"Yes," said Kelby.
"What do you men do on Earth if you are attracted to a girl?" asked D'Nesh as she continued to stroke Kelby's back.
"Well, a man who is attracted to a girl will date her," said Kelby.
"What does that mean?" said D'Nesh.
"That means that the girl and the man go places and do many things together," said Kelby. "The guy is called a boyfriend. The girl is called a girlfriend."
"I got the concept now," said D'Nesh.
"Why did you ask?" said Kelby.
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go out with me as a boyfriend?" asked D'Nesh.
"I don't see anything wrong with that, so I guess the answer is yes," said Kelby. D'Nesh smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"So, do you want to go to the mess hall?" asked D'Nesh.
"Sure," said Kelby.
"Let's go," said D'Nesh, taking Kelby's hand and they left D'Nesh's quarters and headed to the mess hall. Kelby noticed an Orion woman sit down at an empty table.
"Let's go sit by Naras," said D'Nesh as she led Kelby to the table where Naras was sitting. They sat down on the opposite side of the table.
"Hi D'Nesh," said Naras.
"Hi Naras," said D'Nesh.
"You must be Commander Kelby," said Naras.
"Yes I am," said Kelby.
"Nice to meet you Kelby I'm Naras," said Naras as she shook Kelby's hand.
"Nice to meet you too Naras," said Kelby.
The three of them ate dinner and headed back to their quarters.
"That was delicious," said D'Nesh.
"Yeah it was," said Kelby.
"I'll see you guys later," said Naras as she got up from the table.
"Bye Naras," said D'Nesh.
"Well, what's next?" asked Kelby.
"Do you want to show me your quarters?" asked Kelby.
"I thought you saw it already?" said Kelby.
"I was too busy with you," said D'Nesh.
"Oh," said Kelby. "Let's go."
D'Nesh and Kelby walked hand-in-hand down to Kelby's quarters.
Well, that's it for Chapter 2. I thought it was a good idea for the Orion women to learn a few things about human culture. Feel free to review.
