Duty first.

You first checked your implant and noticed something strange, you remembered the last month perfectly but the dates on the files seemed odd.

You remembered a meeting with Admiral Caldwell and Vice-Admiral Stretton where they gave a review of current operations to captains, was it really yesterday? It seemed eerily recent and old at once.

The Nero, flagship of the second fleet was deployed in the Rubicon system as you remembered, you sent a short message to inform Williams of it. It wasn’t directly on the front and she would be happy to learn that her friend wasn't currently engaged in fights.

You went to the bridge to check the commands, the outside network seemed very silent.

Of course! Smith must have disconnected the old comm array to install the new encrypted one, with this recent technology there was no chance of enemy forces listenting to your transmissions, it would secure some victories or at least keep traps and disasters at bay.

The ship computer was as dumb as always and you wished you could trade for the last pieces of the new AI core you were building to replace it.

You entered your accreditation to initialize the new system. It came online and the diagnostic was ok, but once again the network outside the ship was dead silent.

Smith had been fast on this one, too fast maybe in her haste to go grab some of Williams buns (and not only the baked kind.).

You get on you feet, leaving the comfy command seat, if you want something done correctly you will have to do it yourself.

You go past the living quarters to the engine rooms housing the comm systems when you find the door locked.

"Hey Captain, want to join us in the shower ?" Said Smith behind you.

She was naked and wet, drapped in a very short towel that left little to the imagination.

While you heard them and on occasion spied on their activities it was the first time the girls of your crew proposed you to join them.

Despite your breeding license that would make it in accordance to regulation you never pushed the subject once you understood that they were involved with each other, neither usually showed any attraction to you or males in general.

You have to check the comm array but if you let this occasion go away it might never come back.

It could be the only good chance in your life to get introduced to some intimate moments not with one but two gorgeous naked ladies
