The hivemind is conquering for me?

It had been close to a week and a half since we departed from Alexandria. The ships crew was split in emotions. One half of the crew had been partying their asses off due to all the money and loot they made, while the other half had fallen into serious depression and a few developed PTSD over a multitude of things.

Some of the men would start to scream if they heard the ships hydraulics or see any red lights as the mental image of the Deimos killing their friends took over their vision, while others could no longer eat meats and such as it reminded them of their friends getting ripped in half and devoured by the swarm.

I however, was having a grand time. "Dont stop baby, I'm about to finish." I said as I clumped up the red hair in front of me. Kathrine picked up the pace as her eyes became greedy.

I had not seen much of her the past week. The myriad of surprise events that took place on Alexandria had caused quite the paperwork kerfuffle alongside countless diplomatic problems.

Spartari had reignited the war with the Coalition and Kathrine had to also set all her affairs in order for another long term war. However, today as I was having fun with Onyx, she finally came to see me as her stress had built up too much and she needed to satisfy her oral fixation.

As Kathrine released my member from her mouth and opened wide to show her handywork, she soon after swallowed and said. "Mmh. Just what I needed, thank you handsome. How have you been this week and a bit? I'm sorry I have not been around, So much shit has just been thrown on me and I am slowly wading my way out."

"Very vivid imagery Kathrine." I said. "Don't worry about it, really. I have just spent most of my week in my room resting as all the fighting drained my mind with the amount of Psionics I was using. And when I was not in my room, I just spent chilling in the mess hall with Janine and Ernie."

Kathrine got up off her knees and sat in my lap as she leant upon me. "Is there something between you two? You have grown awfully close." Kathrine asked genuinely just curious. "Did I not tell you? Janine is full on gay. No interest in the opposite sex at all.

We are just friends." I replied, getting a tired look from Kathrine.

"Honestly dear, you might have. I am just so exhausted now I have relieved my stress." Kathrine said as she nestled into my chest, closing her eyes that now had bags underneath them.

I sat still a short while, waiting until Kathrine had fallen asleep before I shifted and stood up with her in a princess carry. I then took her back to her room and tucked her into bed before returning to my own room.

As I lay down in bed, Onyx materialised herself on top of me and straddled my lower waist. "Your Onyx is rather jealous my universe, the faces of pleasure when the prey Kathrine pleases you orally look much more intense then when I do it." She said as she casually inserted my member into her for safe keeping.

I placed my hands behind me head and looked up to her. "Oh don't you start now as well with the jealousy sweetheart. Yes Kathrine's mouth is something else that is for sure I mean, did you see the thing she does with her tongue when she-"

"Yes my universe, I am very well aware and when I imitated the move, it did not get nearly the same reaction." Onyx interrupted and tightened her walls around my member to display her annoyance. "Yes anyway, the woman just has experience thats all. And besides, I have a new favourite part of you thats better than Orchid and Jewel so quit your fussing."

"And besides." I continued while sitting up to wrap my arms around her back. "What Kathrine and I is strictly Physical. True I like her a lot and have grown fond of her, but I dont love her or anything. And our feelings make our intimate time better, wouldn't you agree?" I asked as I ran my hand across Onyx's smooth light brown skin.

Thanks to our bond, I could tell Onyx wanted an intimate moment and not just sex, so after she nodded her head, our lips lingered a moment away from each other and as I was about to press mine against her glossy nude brown lips, a ship wide alert was played as Caleb spoke.

"Sorry guys, the Tuarox ship was pulled out of the warp lane by the same checkpoint as last time, we have also left to join them. Our ship wont be inspected if you want to stay aboard, but I reckon some air that doesn't smell like you shit lickers would do you all some good."

Looking back at Onyx after listening, I felt the intimate moment had passed. I still kissed her, only a peck this time though, and encouraged her to get off me. She hesitated a moment as her insides wrapped tighter around me, but eventually gave release.

As I was getting dressed into clean clothes a question popped up in my mind, which Onyx was gracious enough to let me ask verbally. "Hey Sweetheart. Is it me or is it weird I keep getting stopped at this checkpoint? I know I'm not supposed to encourage you, but have you seen any vision as to why that is the case. It has to be more than just coincidence at this point."

Onyx focused up for a moment and put in a minimal effort into her power. Seeing how there was not a trace to follow afterwards, she responded. "I dont think there is anything in particular my universe, Just a string of bad luck and timing."

"Hmm." I mused. If it was just bad luck, I was fine with that. In this life I was given a boon that although seemed bad at first, became on the greatest things to ever happen to me. And on top of that, I rolled a 9000 on a 20 sided dice with my Psionic Origin and my inhabited body. A little bad luck manifesting in the form of unlucky traffic regulations was more than fine in my book.

…

As the ship was given permission to land, only a couple dozen or so of the crew felt like stretching their legs. Looking over to Caleb who was checking himself out in a pocket mirror, I assumed he was here to spread his legs instead, considering what I saw last time. As I left the ship, I looked around to dome to the surrounding asteroid and took in a deep breath of 'fresh' air.

To my right, The Serpent swords had already landed while the Tuarox's ship had already grew a Phalanx infestation across the way. As I was looking over at the Grindstone, I saw a figure. A wiry man with glasses and greasy blonde hair made his way out and began doing a series of stretches.

It was Gellon, the man who was eager to buy my, soon to be actual Dino nuggies once I get back to Sophia and Orchid. In the wake of Jacobs death and Mindy going into a shut in due to grief, he had taken temporary command of the ship.

Wanting information on my friend, I walked over to initiate conversation. He was still in the middle of his stretches when I finally made it to ear shot. "Hey, Gellon right?" I said as an opener. Gellon looked up and his eyes widened a second. "Oh, hey there 'killer of all things.' How goes ya?" He said rather peppy.

"I'm good thanks for asking, still recovering from using too much Psionic energy, but all in all ok. How are you faring with running ship due to recent events?" I inquire. Gellon's face loses most emotion while his lips turned into a line on his face.

"Not fucking great thats for sure. Don't get me wrong, nothings blown up and the crew is relatively happy all things considering, but by my fathers hairy ass crack did Jacob run a tight ship. There is soooo much paperwork! Its literally draining the life from my body." He said figuratively. "Oh and don't get me started on poor Mindy.

Everyone on the ship absolutely adores the woman, to see her like this, while it is understandable, it just breaks your heart."

I was about to speak when he continued. "And to think. She had just started to show being happy again after so long after she made chummy with you and lady Kathrine. We may adore her, but she is still our boss and a distance should be maintained. It was nice to see her finally coming out of her shell a little."

I Informed Gellon I was glad Mindy was starting to feel happy and if she wants to talk, she knows where to find me. Gellon was happy to hear that and had just offered to go have a drink with me when a group of blue cloaked Phalanx guards began running over to my direction, with a familiar face leading them.
