Chapter Six

What was happening to its life?

Heron pondered that most weighty of questions as it headed to the Ops room to check in before beginning its shift. Suddenly, life on the Castor Xeni Orbital was not as tragic as it originally surmised.

One would think one was getting used to it.

And thanks for such a seismic shift in its thinking belonged squarely in Subah’s camp.

Subah Doisson.

Heron would have started whistling, if it wasn’t such a gauche, human response. Besides, it didn’t want to draw any attention to itself. It surreptitiously looked around at the other pedestrians. Surely the scent of it and Subah’s constant coupling had permeated everything in the quarters—including its clothes—by now.

What an able and enthusiastic student it had found in Subah. Just the recollection of her voluptuousness, and the depth of her sexual response, was starting to make it hard once again.

They had begun their carnal adventure together almost three weeks ago, and it had still not tired of her body, or her increasingly bold advances.

Could that be true? Heron’s step faltered, then regained its pace. Could it be that one of the most hedonistic beings of the Republic Space Fleet had found its match in a cautious bio-engineer? How its former colleagues would have laughed to learn that Heron had remained with the same fuck-mate for more than two days. Maybe it was finally starting to learn the truism that all sex existed in the mind. One had scoffed at the pithy little saying for years. But now...

Maybe it was because the orbital was just a different kind of prison that Heron was starting to notice other things besides the purely physical attributes of its current lover. Or could it be that tradition had been turned on its head? That, just for a change, the other person had made the first, seductive move, and the thought of such a turnaround made the affair, the coupling, even more delicious? Or maybe Heron was still fascinated with their mating because it had accorded to Subah something it had never accorded to anyone else...respect.

The Ops room loomed quicker than Heron was expecting and it entered with a slight frown on its face, its inner feelings as unresolved as they were when it started its walk.

Four other technicians were already waiting, and they shifted when they caught sight of it. Then a strange thing happened.

“My name’s Inras Idis.”

Heron’s head jerked up. “What did you say?”

The technician stayed with the rest of the group on the other side of the room, but there was a hesitant smile on his pale, freckled face. He was taller than Heron, and bulkier, but his body language mirrored the uncertainty in his voice, reminding Heron of a child rather than an adult.

“I said, my name’s Inras Idis.”

Heron nodded shortly. “Heron Meed.”

“I’m quite new here too, if a little less than a year can be classed as new,” Inras Idis confided. He nudged the person next to him. “Aren’t I?”

“Aren’t—? Oh, uh, yeah.”

If Inras was aware of the reluctance in the woman’s voice, he took no notice.
