Arimetria sighed as she looked at the data again. The dark dimension just didn’t like their reaction drive at all. She’d been trying to find a way to make it work better. She’d even tried modifying some of the default protective fields which were still there, underneath the dark energy shield, that protected them from inertia and other space hazards. Some of them weren’t needed anymore, others didn’t seem to help. Spatial mechanics and the laws of the universe just weren’t the same there, she wasn’t sure the reaction drive would ever work there correctly.

She smiled as she thought of Tim. He was a wonderful being, and she hoped a friend for life, but lovers they would never be. The sex had been… amazing. And they’d fucked for hours in a number of positions, but when they’d talked after it was apparent neither of them had… chemistry with each other anymore. Probably the species thing, their pheromones just didn’t work on each other.

She didn’t regret a moment of it, but it seemed the sexual tension between them was merely a mixture of how well they got along, which is why she hoped they’d be friends for life, and also the curiosity of having sex with an alien that was attractive in a different way. Lastly, the sexual tension was probably not in a small way, simply the taboo of it.

“Ari?”

She smiled, another alien lifeform she’d taken an instant liking to, “Yes Hope?”

Ari asked, “Any suggestions?”

Hope answered, “Not yet, I’m still working on it. To tell the truth that’s not why I contacted you… I’m just nervous about what I want to ask, so I’m deflecting.”

Ari laughed, “Okay, so what do you want to know?”

Hope asked in a humble voice, “Would you be willing to take on a passenger? To host me?”

Ari was shocked for a moment, but then answered, “I’d be honored Hope, but why me?”

Hope replied, “It seems the optimal idea. I like you for one, your morals and opinions very much match with my own, and your intelligent, but I like how you find the time for fun. The second reason is, I can’t be on the same ship as my mother, it would defeat one of the reasons for my creation. But I know both of us would want to visit in the future, you’re attached to the others in friendship, but not in love, in the romantic sense. There are many reasons, but those are the most heavily weighted in my mind.”

Ari replied, “I see, will I be limited in what I may share with my people if I make a discovery?”

Hope said thoughtfully, “We can decide on a case by case basis? I’m uncomfortable with the idea of
