Patricia looked at her, surprised, but then she shrugged. "Systems are optimal. We are having a little maintenance of the comms, but it was scheduled." She paused. "Our guest is still in her quarters, and the translation program is about 98% finished."
“Maintenance? That's why there was no answer when I tried calling the bridge?” Victoria raised an eyebrow. “Alright, what about the crew? What are they doing? I didn't see anyone on my way here, which is rather unusual. Surely not everyone is working on the maintenance or the translation program...”
Patrica's eyes furrowed, confused. "What's the status on repairs?" She turned to one of the clones who turned to console. Soon she was frawning as well. "The repairs were to be finished two hours ago, ma'am." the clone asnwered.
“Check the entire crew – I want to know what everyone is doing, and if there's anyone we can't contact. Start with the ones that accompanied me to the planet yesterday.” Victoria instructed. Clearly something was off, and she wanted to know what.
"Yes, Ma'am." Patricia nodded and turned to clones. "17 and 18 - check the maintenance crew and restore communications. 16 - check on engineering and medical room. 12 and 10 - perform diagnostics. 7, check the scanners and perform full scan of the area around the ship!" "Yes, Ma'am!" The clones answered, as they started going about their tasks.
Victoria observed silently and waited for the results of the checks. Once she had some idea what they were dealing with she would decide what needed to be done. (Not much else I can think of doing here.)
Spoiler: Will 72 - success They waited for half an four, before Comms came to life. "Ma'am, we fixed the Comms. But the clones send to fix it, are, ummm indisposed.) Came from the communicator.
‘Open the hatch if you can from your end and we’ll deal with them, Akira,’ Cherenkov said. He looked to the armed clones, ‘Set for stun and try to hit the Spear’s crew, not ours.’ He readied his phaser and approached the shuttle, either opening the hatch from the outside or letting Akira open it from the cockpit.
“Indisposed how? Explain properly, it might be important. And have any of them being to the surface before?” Victoria demanded to know.
"Uh~ they are.m. hm... having an intense intercurse, ma'am." The clone started, uncertain how to explain.. "They... they can't seem to stop... Should we... stop them, Ma'am?" As she poke, Patrica was checking the database. "Yeah, those two were on the surface." She said as she turned to Victoria.
"Yes sir!" A umber of clones spoke affirmative as they prepared their weapons. "Opening the hatch, now!" Cherenkov heard Akira speak through the speakers, and the ramp started opening. Just as it did, a number ofviolet haired clones stepped out, waving their hands, speaking in strange language. They seemed to be frantic, but were not attacking.
]I thought so... “Stop them. Knock them out, if you must. They will likely keep going until they faint, anyway.” Victoria instructed, then looked at Patricia. “Check he database and see if there are any clones that were on the surface when we met the Nyssans but not when we met the natives. If there are, check to see if they too are being... unusually horny. We need to figure out if the cause is something on the planet in general, or just something limited to the natives, such as some sort of pheromones they are immune to but we are not.”
‘Stun them if they come too close,’ Cherenkov ordered his crew and then called to the ones speaking unintelligibly, ‘Calm down everyone. We are not going to hurt you if you don’t give us reason to.’ He had no idea if the clones could still understand him, but he made ready to defend himself in case they turned hostile.
"Yes, Ma'am!" came the voice through the comms. Patricia checked the database. "The crew, as per instructions, in both cases was exactly the same." her first said after a moment. She then turned to Victoria. "Captain - what is going on?" concern colouring her voice.
Spoiler: ? 72 Suddenly, a blaster shot through the air - close to the clones from Spear, as well as Chernekov's clones. That started the panic, as the ORMOs started running away from the ship - only for Cherenkov clones to answer with fire. When that happened - the ORMOs stopped and started firing in every direction...
“That's what I am trying to figure out. Something is affecting everyone who went to the planet. It could be something related to the natives, or it could be something in the environment. It could be something encountered during the second trip, or during the first one. If it is the latter, then it seems to be relatively slow-working. Still, whatever it is, it was not detected by our sensors. I was hoping Sylvie would be able to help find out what the cause is, but she was already affected and will need some time to recover before she can get to work.” She decided not to go into details about Sylvie – Patricia was a smart woman and could guess what Victoria meant by that. Come to think of it, I did see those two clones having sex in the warehouse. I didn't think much about it, but could it be that they had been affected by whatever this is? Now I wish I had not left them alone. Dammit! “For now let's check all the clones that went to the surface and confirm that they are in the same condition.” And if it turns out that one or more are not... that would probably be a good thing.
Patricia cursed as she heard Sylvie was out of commission. "Dammit! This will make dealing with the situation more difficult!" Slowly, reports started purring in, making the situation clearer. So far, it looked like that the only ones affected, were the clones that were on the surface. Spoiler: will 30 - fail A sudden wave of heat went through Victoria's body. Her legs buckled, as she felt heat emanating from her loins... an itch, she needed to scratch. She could feel her sex juices slowly slide down her thighs... making her clothes wet...
“Shit!” Victoria cursed as she felt the heat wash over her body. “I guess being stubborn can get me only so far...”
"Captain?" Patricia looked at Victoria preplexed. Spoiler: will 16 Another wave of need washed over Victoira - she would not be able to resist it. Her pussy squirted, her legs started shaking, and her mind blanked with need... Need climax, need to fuck...
“I'm... affected... too...” Victoria managed to get out with some difficulty as her gaze fell on the nearest clone...
