Page 5 of Alien Abduction for Pirates
"Suit yourself. It's going to get very cold in here in a moment though. We don't want your cargo to melt."
"Cargo?"
She looks around the empty room.
"We had to move it into another area of the ship while we were getting ready for your abduction. It wouldn't have looked good on camera if you'd arrived in a room full of crates. So they say."
May points at the camera. "Why are you filming this?"
"If you want to know, you'll have to come with me. I'm needed on the bridge and don't have time to stay here for any longer."
I turn and stride out of the room, smirking when I hear her follow me. She's feisty, but she's clever enough to go along with my demands for now. I have no doubt though that she'll rebel again as soon as she gets the chance.
Now that I'm no longer distracted by her looks, I realise the urgency of the situation and walk a little faster. We didn't expect anyone else in this part of space. Peritus has a few satellites circling it, but nothing worth mentioning. Other abductors? That's pretty much the only reason why anyone would come to Peritus, save for conquering their planet, and that would go against Intergalactic Law.
Everyone's assembled on the bridge, including La-Layna who was supposed to be busy with preparing for May's probing.
"What's going on?" I demand.
Len pulls up the greenlight scanner on the main screen. It shows two blinking dots that are quickly approaching our location.
"Two vessels, they're refusing to identify themselves. I've scanned their subwave signal, they're not pirates. They're still too far to analyse what kind of ships they are, but I estimate they're small. Scouts, maybe."
All pirates who know what's good for them use a subwave signal embedded in all communications to avoid pirates hijacking other pirates. It still happens, on purpose, but it avoids a lot of trouble.
"Are they coming to rescue me?" May asks from behind me.
La-Layna laughs. "Human, no one on your planet knows we've taken you. And in space, nobody cares. Besides, we abducted you as part of an IGU course. It's all official."
"IGU?"
"Intergalactic University," I explain. "Now shush."
“A university told you to abduct me?” she explodes. “Am I going to be their lab rat? An exhibit in their museum? Are they going to dissect me?”
Instead of fear, I only sense anger from her. Curious. Until now, this was just a thing I did to keep my freedom. A filmed abduction, one of many to come. But seeing her glaring at her fate in this way, clearly ready to fight, makes my cock hard with desire and my heart filled with pride. How peculiar, pride for a stranger. And not just that, an abductee who’s under my control, who’s not much better than a slave at this point in time.
“Shut up,” Panan hisses. “We have bigger problems. They just put up their shields. Strong ones. Our weapons will barely able to make a dent if it comes to it.”
“Shields up,” I command, trying to push May from my mind even though she’s standing right behind me. “Red alert.”
The bridge is drenched in pink light. I keep telling Len to fix our lights to make them red again, but he either doesn’t care or his memory is worse than I thought. Maybe he just likes garish pink.
“It looks like we’re in a brothel,” May mutters from behind me. “Please tell me I’m not going to be your sex slave.”
“You won’t,” I say absentmindedly while studying the screen. “Any response yet?”
“Negative,” La-Layna reports. “They’re staying silent. Do you want me to start an evasive manoeuvre?”
“No. I want to know what they’re doing here.”
“So do I.” Professor Katila’s voice booms through the room and her face appears on a screen to my right. Figures that she’s watching us.
“Do you think they mean you any harm?”
I turn to her. “We don’t know yet. It could be a coincidence that they’re here at the same time as us.”
“That’s a rather major coincidence.”
