Pete mumbled something about being « in the fog »
before realizing that the woman haven't actually said a word.
Dahala looked at them both with an angel face. She « spoke
» softly.
« You are safe here, protected from the Roohans. My name
is Dahala. Myself and about 50 other people are the sole survivors
of the planet Raki, the big planet you probably saw while you
were attacked. »
« what happened? Who are those guys? »
« They call themselves Roohans. In their language, that's
almost the same thing as Gods. All they want is to dominate the
Univers. They arrived here about one of your years ago. They introduced
themself as traders. We invited them. Then, when they got a chance,
they destroyed the cities, killing most of the Rakihans. The complex
you are in is a small research complex that was constructed on
this moon, to research new forms of energy. It's heavily shielded
to protect us, and the planet below, and that's why they can't
get to us. As far as we know, we're the only survivors of our
world. »
« What's their goals? » asked Karen.
« I told you, dominate the galaxy. By now, they must have
all the necessary informations from your databanks to trace back
your home world. We learned a little about it while you were being
repaired by reading your thoughts. No need to worry, we left the
private areas private. »
« They're heading for Earth » said Pete, jumping on
his feet, but having to grab the table so not to fall. »
« Easy Pete. It's gonna take a few hours more for you to
feel fine enough to stand up. And yes, they will probably be heading
for Earth, not to make friends, but to conquer. »
« We have to warn them. Do you have a mean of communication?
»
« Yes, but not with your world. But we do have something
you can use. Come with me."
Dahala led them to a big hangard where lied a small spaceship.
In the walk, Karen had her first real experience of the tight
suit. Each step was simulating her, massaging her whole body.
« It was our prototype. It flew 5 times, each times with
great success. It uses the new form of energy we developped. Right
now, it would be too complicated to explain it to you. We give
it to you. Use it, go to your world, and have them prepare to
fight the Roohans. »
« Is it fast enough so we will reach Earth before them ?
»
« Yes. There will probably be a few days for them to prepare
to invade, and their light-speed technology is not as advanced,
slightly more advanced that yours. it will take them a little
more than one year. With this ship, you'll be there within 3 months.
»
« But, what about you? If you give us that ship, you won't
be able to go anywhere. »
« We can't go nowhere. The ship is big enough for 2 people,
no more. What can 2 people do against a whole army. you already
saw the condition of the moon. Nothing can grow here. We have
food for roughly 6 months, and so we're all going to die anyways.
Don't worry, we're prepared. It will just happen faster. »
« Gee, thanks Dahala. But I don't know how to fly this thing.
»
« Come with me Pete. We have a learning device that will
make you an ace pilot in one hour. »
« S'cuse me » said Karen « but what about that
box you were going to hand me? »
« Oh yeah. Sorry. That's a remote control for the suit.
We duplicated the technology that created the fabric, quite primitive
I must say, and put the controls on that box. From it, you can
change the state of the fabric, almost at will. We added a few
extras that I'm sure you'll like. Try the buttons, but don't use
the blue one right now. I'll explain it later. Come with me Pete.
»
Karen looked at the remote. There was over twenty small buttons,
all with odd symbols. She tried a few.
« Wow! That's great! »
She was able to tighten or losen any part of the suit, extend
or lower the heels, raise, lower the platforms of the shoes. One
even made the fabric to cover her head entirely, leaving only
holes for the eyes, and mouth, and the fabric was always evenly
tight. Her joy hit the roof when the crotch started to gently
vibrate.
« I would make a fortune back home with a suit like that...
»
Suddenly, there was a trimmer. Jahana came back, running with
Pete.
« You have to go. Now. They're attacking the moon. Pete
knows what to do. Now, go, go. »
Dahala rushed them inside the craft. Pete helped Karen get seated
(she had to use the remote to untighten the waist of the suit)
and strapped. He took the seat and the craft was slowly moving.
« Aren't the Roohans going to fire at us? »
« Dahala told me that they were going to take care of that.
Hang on! »
The roof opened and the night sky was visible. Pete manipulated
a few controls and the ship was off in the air. Immediately, the
blast form laser hit the craft. Karen looked at Pete, afraid.
« No worry. The shields can withstand this small fire. »
The ship accelerated, and suddenly, the moon exploded! Taking
with it a big portion of the Roohans's fleet.
« Woah! They did take care of them » said Pete. «
The coast is clear! »
He punched in a few buttons, and the starfilled view became pitch
black.
« That's it. In 3 months we're home. »
He looked at Karen, panting, still holding the remote.
« Are you okay? »
« Well, that was some kind of rush, but I'm fine. You? »
« Great. I know this ship like the back of my hand. Impressive
machine that learning thing. So, what about your little toy? »
« Great fun! See, I can tighten the waist, or losen it,
or gets the heels longer... Oh darn! She was suppose to tell me
what this blue button was about, but she didn't had time. Any
idea? »
« Nope. And that symbol doesn't ring a bell. »
« Well, I'll just try it and we'll see. »
« Are you sure that's a good idea? What if it hurts you?
»
« Nah, I don't think so, it would be red, not blue. »
« Well, that's your suit... »
« Thanks for the support » she said with a grin.
She played with the remote, making the hood cover her head, tightening
the waist as much as she can while seating, then the hips and
thighs, and the chest and arms. She was enjoying every minute
of it. Then started the vibrating crotch. but that was too much.
All that tightness and the vibrating crotch? She had to stop it.
She reached for the white button, but shaking, hit the blue button
instead.
Pete was gazing through the instrument pannel when he heard the
remote falling on the ground. He looked at Karen. She was completely
immobile. Only her eyes were moving. She tried to talk, but was
unable to open her jaw.
« Well, It seems you found what the blue button was for
hey? To be honest with you, Dahala told me. It convert the suit
into a solid material, as hard as steel. »
Karen mumbled something. Pete understood that she wanted him to
return the suit to normal.
« I can't do that, Karen. You see, the suit is producing
it's own energy when you move. On normal wear, the batteries,
which are part of the fabric, another one of their energy developement,
keeps fully charged because you move most of the time. Just the
breathing is enough to keep them charged. The power drain to put
the suit in that mode emptied the batteries. And since you're
not moving, at all, the batteries will recharge slowly. How much
time you ask? Something close to 5 hours before there's enough
power to take the suit back to normal. Oh by the way, in this
mode, your digestive functions are suspended, so no worry about
going to the bathroom. »
Karen mumbled again.
« Hey! She never said it was a perfect suit... »
Karen turned her eyes to look at the pitch black sky. That's all
she could do for the next 5 hours. The worse part, the vibrator
was still on... Then she went wide eyes! How much power drain
does that need? How much longer will she be in this thing?
Pete heard the faint vibration noise, and had a hidden smile «
Five additionnal hours for that » she said too low for Karen
to hear. « She's going to be a wreck in 10 hours.. Better
get the bed ready. »..
The End.
