The Officers

Eplilogue - Oh fuck!

~~~ The flight

Thankfully they left before Mila and Nacy went into heat. Most were-cat's tended to go into heat close to each other though the flights had been messing with them to an extent. For some reason their heat was closer to the end of the flight than near the beginning as would be expected. When they started approaching her oncoming heat both had informed their mates.

For Jace and Danal, she went into heat sooner and was cleared of any pregnancy soon after. Anytime a were went into heat they were checked several times to ensure they weren't pregnant. Few were's could use any sort of birth control even now and when they went into heat it was required testing. Being who they were both knew she wasn't pregnant and wouldn't be in the near future. They didn't know why but it was simply something they knew.

Holcomb couldn't help but relax in bed with Mila at the end of her heat, "Damn but that was enjoyable." Both were nude and he was lightly stroking her body as he was relaxing. As with most of the heats, both had enjoyed them. Even with the non-heat time they enjoyed being with each other but during heat? Mates and unmated greatly enjoyed that time of the year. It still irritated some of their troops but most of the joking was in good taste. No, bad taste since they were Marines.

She was purring as he was stroking her body, "Hell yes. Think it was one of the best since we mated. Hell even before we mated. Those were fun but this time? Meow baby, meow." She lightly nipped him before she rolled off him and strolled towards the shower. She'd worked him over and he'd worked her over.

"Keep that swish going and you are going to get it." He rolled off their bed as well and wrinkled his nose. The sheets were going to need to be changed sooner than later. They stank of heat and sex and they didn't need it.

Even as they were heading to the shower Nacy and Kyrill were doing much the same, "Not sure why but FTL seems to delay heat and then hypercharge it. No nookie for several days. To sore for anything right now." Nacy rolled onto her back and stretched.

Kyrill grumbled, "Tell me about it. Not even sure I could get it up anytime soon. Even with our healing ability..." He stood and stretched before following her to the shower. For today she was getting her hair and back washed and that was it. Man it had been an intense heat. From what Holcomb had mentioned to him he felt much the same.

~~~ Wolf 359

When they arrived at Wolf 359 they stopped well outside the oort cloud. Considering what they'd found at the last star they weren't taking any chances. They slowly moved forward and had their stealth shielding up as they were moving forward. How well it might work they didn't know but they were being as careful as possible.

The Admiral was relaxing in her chair on the bridge, "Keep our speed slow and do as many passive scans as possible. Not just for the star and what might be in orbit but also for any sort of alien stations or ships. Keep me updated. Pass the word to Cmdr. Wilcox to ensure her troops are in armor and her shuttles are ready. Send a message to Lt. Cmdr. Edmon to have the fighter wings on five plus minutes to launch. Lt. Nixon ensure all weapons are ready just in case. I wasn't expecting the station but now? I'm not going to do anything which might endanger our ship."

"Not a problem ma'am. I'd hate to have the ship shot out from under us myself." He passed the orders to the weapons stations and the Marines. They were already at condition 3 and were settled in. Some of the weapons were automatic but others were manually operated. There wasn't a specific reason, but it was how they did it. Most of the automatic weapons mounts were anti-fighter and anti-missile. Not much you could do about energy weapons.
