Space + Bats

Sweet Velvet stumbled out onto the airfield with ease, she had dodged the security and skipped over the simple fence that surrounded the landing zone, dozens of warning signs warned to the dangers of being caught in the back blast of the departing ships, but she darted towards the human’s ship. She glanced back at the human but he had already turned around and disappeared into the warehouse. Three androids moved throughout, preparing the large container with great care.

Sweet Velvet picked up her bag and walked up to the ramp of the relatively small ship, even to her inexperienced eyes she could see that the ship had been through a lot, but it still was well kept and cared for. I’m doing this.

One of the androids stopped what it was doing and approached her.

“Welcome to the Errant Venture, the captain is away at the moment, do you wish to leave a message?”

“I’m the new hire.”

The robot’s face flickered. “There are no new crew registered on the network. Please state your business.”

Sweet Velvet transferred her profile to the robot with a flick of her left hoof, the smart bracelet interfacing with the android’s network. “I was just hired. I might not be in your system yet.”

“Thank you, Sweet Velvet, but the Captain has not authorized the hiring of additional personnel.”

“But you are not cleared for take-off until you have a new tripulant on board, isn’t that right? And you seem to be preparing for take-off right now,” Velvet recited what she had been able to eavesdrop.

The android appeared to be pondering. Sweet Velvet had never dealt with an android as sophisticated as that before. She had seen many simple robots that worked on the farms, but those were simple machines, usually built for a single purpose. She had studied some of the basics and even got a certification to run the instruments and provide basic maintenance.

“I was hired by voice contract, moments ago,” she lied, paying close attention to the android’s reaction. “Why else would I have clearance to be on this spacecraft? Or why I have my luggage with me?”

The android’s expression didn’t change, but it seemed to be in deep thought, putting almost all of his processing power on the problem.

Sweet Velvet looked at the other androids that were still working with the container, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.

The android stood there unmoving for an excruciatingly long moment, then her saddlebags were yanked out of her back by one of the androids and it walked into the ship with her belongings. “Come this way, Sweet Velvet, refuelling has been completed. Take-off is scheduled in T minus five minutes.”

Velvet watched the cargo hold closing, enveloping her in darkness for a moment before the electric lights turned on one by one. Go on an adventure. Find treasures. Deal with aliens.

“Sweet Velvet, you must follow me. You must be in your assigned room during take-off,” the android hurriedly guided her inside the ship.

The ship’s massive generators hummed to life as the android with her bag led her through the metal and plastic tunnels of her new home.

After several turns through dark corridors, the robot stopped at a door. The inconspicuous door slid open to reveal a room. So small it only fit a single cot occupying a whole wall, a simple locker to the other side, a strange and large chair just next to the door, and a circular fixture on the low ceiling that cast a bright white, penetrating light across the room.

“These are your quarters, Sweet Velvet,” the android offered a small curtsy as he placed her bag to the side of the bed.

“You can call me Velvet,” she mumbled, stepping into her new home.

“Registered,” the door zipped closed behind her, the android gone.

A quick, gut-wrenching siren sounded throughout the ship, the lights blinking red as the rumble of the generator increased and a terrifying grow resonated the ship’s metallic structure. It took her a moment too long to understand what was happening.

She had read about it, even saw it in some movies, but nothing could have prepared her for the reality of take-off. She darted towards the strange chair, now recognizing it as an acceleration chair, it was designed to protect the crew during take-off and warpjumps. She struggled against the lock, it had been designed for human’s fingers, the siren seeming to increase in urgency as the growl of the engines resonated through the superstructure.

She cursed loudly when she finally managed to lock herself on the chair, but it was drowned by the sudden boom of the engines, the entire structure of the ship rumbling as it climbed with ever increasing speed. She felt herself being crushed by her own weight, as if smashed against the chair with a sledgehammer, her eyes wrenched closed.

She lost all notion of time as the thunderous roar of the engines seemed to envelop the entire world, to overwhelm even her thoughts. And then, it just ended so abruptly she believed she had gone deaf. Her entire body relaxed at once as weightlessness took over.

This also ended in a few moments, the lights blinked back to their piercing white light and there was the high-pitched sound of grav-generators starting before weight returned to almost normal.

Sweet Velvet unlocked herself with a breath of relief and checked her room with more calm, her smart bracelet detected a local network, but she didn’t have the password. She took a deep breath to calm herself and made a mental list of her necessities.

I need water. I need food. But first… I need to figure out the network password.

Josh Sinclair steered his ship out of Equestria’s commercial airways, using his ship’s greater manoeuvrability to stay amidst some of the giant cargo haulers, it would make it harder for the monitor satellites to tag him. Each of the monitor satellites was equipped with enough firepower to rival even a battleship, their Terawatt lasers could vaporize his ship in the blink of an eye, but Josh was confident that any order from the Exploration Society hadn’t had the time to be processed yet.

The computer warned of the stations tagging his ship, a threat overlay enveloped the distant defensive stations, a quick calculation showing their weaponry and defensive capabilities. That was normal procedure he told himself, trying to keep calm. If the satellites powered up he still could try some of the defensive canisters he had onboard and the nanolaminated armor should protect him from the worst of it, at least in theory.

But he was confident that the Society wouldn’t shoot him down like that just because of such a small breach of protocol, right?

He ignored the hails as the representatives from the Society tried to contact him. The Suit and his insipid blabbering came to mind, he didn’t have the patience for this discussion right now.

When he finally cleared out of Equestria’s orbit and the ship began accelerating towards the system’s fringes, Josh Sinclair released a long sigh of relief, took off his jacket and threw it to the floor, kicking off his boots until he was wearing nothing but his worn pants.

The chilly, recycled air filled his lungs, banishing the pungent rot of industry and the sweat of too many bodies. He closed his eyes and took in the faint smell of ozone and grease that seemed to endure even the most thorough filtration, for him it smelled like home.

But there was one particular scent he didn’t wish to banish completely from his mind. The sweet, fresh smell of lavender from the bat-pony on the main gate. The species was a rarity outside of their isolated communities, he smiled and felt his body tighten around the thought of the mare with her purple, lacy dress.

His mind wandered to her cute face and the piercing red eyes. He hardened as he pictured the bat pony winking at him and raising her tail.

Josh Sinclair looked down at his cock, almost perfect and so very much human, but augmented with high-end cybernetics that increased his length to 10 inches, the girth to 4.3 inches, and allowed him to cum up to ten times in a day with loads that would put a minotaur to shame. It was easy to burrow those needs when he was always on the move, never being on any planet for more than a few nights, but it took only a thought for the ever-insistent need to consume his mind.

As he watched the lights of Equestria dimming as the Errant Venture accelerated away from the planet, the ship’s computer calculating a route towards the desert-world of Tarkus, he tried to remember the last time he had a decent night of sex, dimming the lights of his bridge until he was covered in darkness.

The door swished open behind him. Josh Sinclair grunted and banished those lewd thoughts, he had business to take care off.

An android stepped into his bridge. Josh swivelled his seat and faced the robot with barely contained annoyance.

“Captain, the crystals are locked in place; we connected them to the ship’s power grid, all readings are in the green. We have received twenty seven transmissions from the Exploration Society since take-off,” The android stood straight awaiting for an answer.

Josh sighed deeply, leaned forward, and rested his elbows on his knees as he put his thoughts in order.

“We’re headed for Vilmore for supplies; make sure the crystals are properly secured before we warp. Ignore all messages from the Exploration Society, I’ll take care of them later,” Josh Sinclair turned back toward his console to deal with the ship’s course.

“Understood, sir. What should we do about the new crewmember?” the android asked.

“Crew Member?” he asked slowly.

“Sweet Velvet. Placed in passenger room one, awaiting registration.”

Josh Sinclair got to his feet and stormed out of the bridge in a heartbeat.

Sweet Velvet had searched the whole room, but couldn’t find anything on the locker or the drawers. Interestingly enough, the pieces of furniture looked to be made out of single, sturdy pieces of steel, with no signs of how they connected or even that they had been used before.

She huffed and eyed her room for the hundredth time. Her stomach growled from hunger.

Her ears perked up when she heard the sound of approaching steps, her first guess was that it was the android coming back, but they sounded too heavy, too fast… The human!

The door slid open without a sound, and the human stood on the other side, brisk rage crossed his features. Sweet Velvet gave him her best smile.

A sliver of fear coursed through her as he took a heavy step into her room. It was much too small for the both of them. He stared her down with a spark of rage.

Sweet Velvet swallowed and smiled. “Hey, boss.”

He continued to stare at her, the muscles of his arms twitching as if he was trying to restrain himself. She continued, “I need the network password.”

“Who the hell are you?!” he growled.

“I’m your new assistant, Sweet Velvet,” she introduced herself with a twirl.

His fist clenched at his side, but she could see a tinge of laughter creeping in by the absurdity of the whole situation. Sweet Velvet took a deep breath.

“I needed the job,” she said slowly. “I saw what you do...”

The rage on the human’s face lifted just enough to show a twinge of curiosity in his eyes.

“I’m just a glorified delivery boy.”

“You do so much more than that! I want to help…” Her eyes kept drifting down his body to take in his wide chest. Sweet Velvet wanted to look lower, take the entire human in, but she resisted her urges, trying to at least pretend to be professional.

“You don’t have any training, you don’t have experience! And for some god-forsaken reason you decided it was a good idea to smuggle yourself into my ship where you could have gotten seriously hurt,” he took a deep breath to calm himself and immediately cursed himself when he took in her sweet and alluring smell, he needed to keep his head clear. “I don’t have enough fuel to decelerate and take you back to Equestria for now, so stay out of the way and I’ll drop you on the next planet.”

“I can make myself really useful,” she gasped, throwing all caution away. “Captain.”

She was reaching for him before he could react, she raised herself on her hind hooves, the touch of her soft hooves on his shoulders flaring a might need inside him that had been denied for far too long. Her lips parted slightly, pressing against his, accepting his tongue. She sucked it into her mouth and heard his groan of pleasure. She pressed her body into his arms, her leathery wings flaring with lust.

The kiss awakened the desires that he had neglected for so long. He needed to touch her, his fingers were caressing her soft fur, burrowing beneath her purple, lacy panties, touching hot, wet flesh as he felt her hooves reaching for his hard cock, her body pressed against his.

Oh, that’s good!

The soft underside of her hoof raked over the head of his cock, sent a jolt of blazing pleasure. He lifted her into his arms and pressed her against the wall. His lips covered hers, a deep, hungry kiss, as she felt his hand pushing at the lacy pants she wore.

It was desperate, a wildfire of lust and desire that consumed both of them. Velvet could feel the pent-up fiery lust in the human, the smell of his arousal so strong and overwhelming, mixing with her own arousal, connecting them in wicked desire.

Her hips were jerked up. Strong fingers ran through the sensitive folds between her thighs, caressed and stroked with surprising skill until she was dripping wet. She surrendered to the fiery pleasure flooding her body, making her so slick and wet and hot.

“You shouldn’t have stowed away,” he growled behind her.

“I can be really useful…” She gasped the answer into his ear as she felt his fingers caressing her ass, teasing it. “Fuck me!”

Josh didn’t need any encouragement, he held her tighter and positioned the broad, hot crest of his cock pressed against her ass and she went crazy from the pleasure as he slid it inside. Her back arched at the stretching heat, a cry falling from her lips, part protest and all lust.

She felt her ass flex and ripple and draw him in. With each heated thrust, she became more sensitive, hungrier, needier. A scream ripped from her throat as he pushed inside her in three hard strokes. Every inch of his hard, thick cock stretching her ass, flooding her with more debauched pleasure than she could have imagined.

She had heard that humans were big before, but this was ridiculous, this was better than she could have dreamed. She could feel every inch of him inside of her, the girth stretching her with each stroke as the human’s strong arms held her against the wall.

Her thighs parted more, her wings flared open, and her lips were at his shoulder with sharp little kisses, heated and fierce. His powerful arms braced her as he began thrusting hard into her.

She was filled with him. Every heavy vein in his cock caressed her nerve endings; every throb of blood was driving her mad. And he was pounding her ass, pleasure reaching heights she had never experienced, stretching her. Her muscles wrapped around his erection tightened, and then her mind was consumed in a cataclysm of unfathomable bliss and warmth that had her screaming his name. She shuddered through her orgasm, jerking as he continued to thrust hard and fast in her ass, gaining speed, pushing into her as she felt pulses of heated seed flooding her.

She was screaming in pleasure. Another, harder orgasm ripped through her as he kept cumming inside of her. She was so full now, her body trembling with the aftershocks of their orgasm.

Sinclair lowered her to the bed, his breath hard and laboured as he removed himself from her, it had been so long since he had allowed himself to experience anything like that, to lose himself in pleasure and desire. He gave a last look to the sleeping bat-pony before going for a shower, knowing that this was a whirlwind of lustful madness that he wouldn’t be able to escape.
