“Coming up on outphase point in three, two – outphase,” Jax said, his whiskers twitching as the freighter’s hyperfield collapsed and normal space returned. He grinned at the rest of the crew. “Fifteen hours early, too.”
Meredith nodded approvingly. “There’ll be bonuses all around for coming in ahead of schedule,” she said as the ship’s computer and the AI on Magus Station exchanged introductions. She sat back and made a show of bracing herself. “I’m ready for the bad news now. What have you done to my engines?” she asked with a grin.
The two engineers exchanged glances and laughed. The senior of the two, a badger named Malloi Dennis, finally stopped laughing long enough to say, “The latest upgrades increased efficiency, Boss. We could’ve gotten here a full day ahead.” He winked. “More time on liberty.”
“We could have,” the mare conceded, “but that doesn’t mean it’s desirable, if we push so hard that the drive core everts.”
“Magus Station to Kiss Me in the Dark,” the traffic controller’s voice came over the crew’s headsets. “You’re early, and is that a promise?”
Jax grinned and replied, “It could be, if you like. Requesting a clear flight path to dock.”
“Look me up after my shift,” came the voice, his tone clearly amused. “You’re clear to docking point PT-13.”
“Got it, thanks.” Jax fitted his paws into the ship’s controls and began to earn his pay as the freighter’s helmsfur. Meredith kept her headset on and left the command cabin to get a cup of tea. Once they were docked and the cargo, more raw materials for This Far’s refineries, offloaded, she and Jax would set up a liberty schedule. She’d then check in with the company and get briefed on their next destination.
No wonder Mikhal had been so grumpy all the time.
The palomino mare took her time preparing her tea in the deserted dining area. They were well into the day shift, and none of the others were awake yet. Meredith blew across at the steaming liquid before sipping at it, watching the room’s monitor screen as the rat moved the ship to its docking buoy. Cargo lighters and maintenance shuttles were already starting to move toward their position.
How long had she been away from home this time? Maybe a month? Well, her parents would be happy to see her, and she could see her brothers. Granted, Amir and Berto would be about two months old by now, and probably not great conversationalists.
Still, she wanted to go home.
She was back in her seat as the freighter docked, signing various bills of lading as they appeared on her repeater screen while Jax put together a draft liberty schedule for her approval. “Captain?” and the mare looked up as the rat turned to face her. “I’ve got it for you.”
“All right, Jax, let me get this out of the way,” and she signed off on another document, “there we go. Let me see.” He sent it from his screen to hers and she studied it. The mare smiled at him. “Good work. I’m not changing a thing.”
He grinned. “Thanks, Captain.” His whiskers twitched. “You all right?”
“Huh? Yeah. Tired, maybe.” She smiled again. “Glad to be home, and looking forward to seeing my family. You got any?”
“Family? Sure. They’re on Gatala Station.”
“Colonial space?”
He nodded. “My ancestors came from a spot on Terra called ‘Norf Merka.’ Heard of it?” She shook her head and he nodded. “Not too surprised. Anyway, I got a couple sisters serving in the station militia, so they’re closer to home than I am.”
“You miss them?”
The rat shrugged. “Sometimes, but then I remember that we don’t get along, me and my sisters.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, like matter and antimatter,” and he chuckled as he mimed an explosion, causing the mare to laugh.
With the cargo offloaded, the crewmembers were informed of the liberty schedule and personnel shuttles were engaged to take each shift to Magus Station. Fuji left with one group, telling Meredith that he would meet her later down on the planet.
Meredith spent some time in her cabin, masturbating before taking a long shower and getting dressed for her trip down to This Far. She took a final walk through the nearly-deserted ship before boarding the shuttle, and as she passed Ginny and Elroy’s cabin, she heard a giggle, followed by a male moan.
They seemed to be having fun.
One shuttle trip to the station in high orbit, and another down to the main arcology where her family lived. Before that shuttle touched down, the palomino mare’s hooves were almost stamping on the carpeted deck with impatience. After clearing a security check, she headed for her home.
“Hello? I’m home,” she said as she stepped through the doorway and dropped her shoulder bag on a chair in the living area. “Father? Mothers?”
“Meredith?” Thea, her birth mother, came around a corner and smiled as she and her daughter embraced and kissed. “Deus, look at you! You look – “
“Tired?”
Her mother flicked her ears and her tail swished. “I was going to say thinner. How are you? When did you get in, and can you stay long?”
“Thinner? I guess,” and Meredith shrugged. “I’m fine, but tired. Been a long few weeks. We got in a few hours ago,” she added, “and we’ll be leaving again in four days.” She looked around. “Where’s Father and Marie?”
Thea smiled. “We have a visitor.”
“A visitor?” Meredith’s nostrils flared as she sniffed.
Then sniffed again, with an almost feral flehmen-like lifting of her upper lip, and she took a few steps forward.
She came around the corner then, stooping just slightly to keep her ears from brushing the ceiling, and said, “Narchak, demef.”
The mare and the vir rushed at each other, meeting in the middle and wrapping each other in a tight embrace as Meredith’s comother and father followed Varan into the living room.
