CHANGE OF…EVERYTHING

STELLAR DATE: 04.06.8949 (Adjusted Years)

LOCATION: Some Ski Resort

REGION: Allaran, Crossbar System, Alkaid Void

Cindy came to a stop at the bottom of the slope next to Gemma, whose face bore a broad grin, her breath steaming in the cold night air.

“OK, not many people can keep up with me, Cindy. You’ve got a lot more stamina than I’d’ve thought.”

“I like to keep in tip-top shape,” she said with a small shrug. “And it’s a lot more fun to get my exercise here than on the ship.”

“I bet,” Gemma nodded, then she looked at the ski lift and shook her head. “Looks like our husbands are going up for another run. Glad we introduced them,” she gave Cindy a conspiratorial wink. “Gives us girls a bit more time together.”

Cindy smiled, unable to hide the enjoyment she was getting from spending time with her new friend, though she worried what Gemma might suggest they do next.

It was more than apparent from the casual touches and continual close proximity that Gemma had only one thing on her mind when it came to winding down—but thanks to Cindy’s unrelentingly possessive clothing, that was the one thing she couldn’t do.

Think, Cindy, think. Lashes was our infiltrator girl for a decade, and she never had sex with a mark. What would she do?

The two women took their skis off and walked back to the rental shop. Once they’d returned their equipment, Gemma took Cindy’s hand and led her back toward the resort’s lodge.

Fifteen meters from the building, Cindy managed to get Link signal, and reached out to the ship. <Vampy, are you there? I need help!>

<Vampy’s out on a mission,> Laylani replied. <She had to go dark. Don’t want a signal giving her and Kitty away.>

<Whoa, wait just one tick-tock, Laylani. We’re on the mission. The colonel and I. Those two were supposed to keep their shiny black tushies on the ship!>

<Well…they got bored, so they went into town,> Laylani replied, her mental tone decidedly guilty.

<Town?> Cindy asked.

<There’s a mining town nearby. They got into some trouble there, but Porty figured out where the stolen energy device is, so they went after it.>

“Fiddlesticks!” Cindy whispered aloud.

“What is it?” Gemma asked, glancing at Cindy as she held the door open to the lodge.

“Uh…oh, nothing to worry your pretty red head about. I just realized I never thought to get the room tokens from my husband. Now he’s up on the slope, and I can’t reach him on the Link.”

“Don’t worry.” Gemma waved her hand. “Pell will give you the tokens. He knows me, of course, and he saw you come in with your husband.”

<Laylani,> Cindy spoke in a rush while Gemma answered. <We’ve been hired by the icky bad guys! Crossbar broke their special power doo-hicky, so they stole Allaran’s, but then Allaran stole it back. Without it, Crossbar’s cities will freeze like popsicles! Allaran needs theirs too, or they’ll have a forever winter. What are we going to do?>

<Well that complicates things,> Laylani replied. <The authorities are looking for Vampy and Kitty, and they know what ship they came from.
