Chapter 220: Venture: Downtime
[I have escaped.]
Jace nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the message into his mind. It was so abrupt he did not even realize it happened. But before he could so much as process that the message came from Salem he was being hit upside the head.
He reeled back as the wooden staff hit him on the chin. He stepped back in a daze and then looked at the culprit. His new second in command, Nila, had stopped moving after landing a successful strike. To be fair he had easily dodged all of her other strikes.
He brought his hand up to his jaw and shook his head. They were in the holo training room at the moment. "Ow, sorry I got distracted for a moment." Jace told her as he moved into position again for the next bout.
"No kidding," Nila answered with a frown, "I know we are just sparing but it is still pretty serious to get distracted like that." She pointed out. She was speaking in the accer Victorium language. It was one of the languages that he had learned over the last few days.
They were still over Yati, they were holding position while the normal squads of soldiers rooted out the factions of enemies that had embedded themselves in the planet. They were set to leave the system later in the day. The last of their people were getting replaced by the Victorium military today.
The Victorium military had arrived yesterday shortly after one of the units found and disabled the planet-killing bomb that the elders had left on the ship. He actually had to go down and disable it. Fortunately they had already taken out all the enemies in the area, so he did not have to go around fighting.
Now he was spending time with his squad, training with them and just getting to know them. They had yet to get their new assignment so they were just going through repairs and getting to know each other.
They started their next bout with Jace spinning the staff and smacking the hand of Nila where she was holding her own staff. She yelped in pain or at least made the Accer equivalent which sounded more like a squawk.
He then spun the staff again and did a leg sweep. Then as soon as she fell on her ass he pointed the end of the staff at her throat. "Were you expecting me to distract myself again?" Jace asked as he looked down at her.
She clicked several times in a sound he was not familiar with before leaning up. "No I was not, you know there are other ways we could spend time together." She offered up her prosthetic hand that opened up to him.
"This again?" Jace chuckled as he pulled her up and looked at her hand's schematics in his mind. It was incredibly efficient and there were plenty of human designs that could be adapted for her. "I tell you what, let me replace this crappy prosthetic with a modified human cybernetic version and I will sleep with you. Hell, I will even have a threesome with you and Vana."
There was a groan from the side of the room and they both looked over to see Charlie and Josef. Josef was still injured but he was recovering and Charlie was in charge of his physical therapy with the new arm. He had fortunately opted for the human's cybernetic arm design. But he still needs to get used to the new arm.
They were using another part of the holo training room for his physical therapy. So they were present as they heard his 'offer'. Jace rolled his eyes while Josef began laughing with his bellowing laughter.
"Charlie, it is not that strange. It is just sex, I am sure you have experienced it yourself. It is not something to get shy about just because it is an exchange of bodily fluids. Or do humans have a thing about the public discussion of sex? If that is the case, you will be shell shocked by your interactions with accer over time." Josef declared.
"It is not that," Charlie sighed while blushing. "Spectre Jace is… well known for his trysts. So him offering a threesome likely means he is already interested and was just holding off for some reason."
"Well that's- are you blushing?" Josef asked with a chuckle and from his spot he could see the twinkle of mischief in the tacole's eyes.
Jace would have jumped in but he was suddenly pounced on by Nila who pinned him to the ground and began grinding her hips against his crotch. "Woah! That was unexpected!" He yelled out. "Um… I do not mind but-"
"Accer's are known for their sexual openness. On mixed Victorium ships they usually keep it behind closed doors but it looks like Commander Nila decided she could not wait." Josef informed them. "Would you like us to leave the training room?"
"No." Jace answered and spun around picking her up by the ass. She wrapped her legs around his hips. "I will bring her back to my quarters. Hey where is Vana?"
Charlie rolled her eyes, "you really wanted that threesome huh? She is in the main war room. Apparently finishing up her reports for when we are in range of her people's transmitters." Charlie nodded at the door and helped Josef get ready for his next rep.
Jace moved through the door, "thanks!" He called as he walked through the room as Nila was actively humping him through their thin training clothes. He could already feel her wetness. He looked around and spotted Vana. "Vana!" She looked up at him, "come on." He then began walking through the door and going to the dorm area.
As soon as he walked in, several sets of eyes looked at him. One of which was Ulin who was teaching them about human card games. He saw her raise an eyebrow and smirk. "Another one?"
Jace rolled his eyes and moved into his room and tossed Nila onto the bed, glancing behind him to see Vana locking the door while Nila yelped in surprise. "Sorry Vana. But she got this started."
"Haa…" Vana sighed and smiled before shaking her head.
