Emily Daniels' voice came through the speakers of Kate Steven's car as soon as the call connected. "Kate, did it work?"
After being shocked to find that the communicator had successfully connected to the universal subspace network, Kate had placed it in her handbag before quickly leaving Hopkins Bank, where she called Emily as soon as she sat down in her car.
"It worked, though I can scarcely believe it," Kate replied in an excited tone as she pulled out the communicator from her handbag.
"Oh, thank goodness," Emily replied in a relieved tone before adding, "We can finally go home after all these years."
"Yeah, I just need to call…" Kate began only to stop speaking for a moment before cursing, "What the fuck!"
"What happened?" Emily asked.
"I can't contact anyone," Kate replied in a confused tone.
"What?" Emily asked in surprise.
Kate fiddled with the communicator and went to several different sites before realising what was wrong and cursing, "It's fucking read-only."

"I'm back," Tephe announced as she bounced happily into the medical bay with Maya on her head.
"Welcome back," Rowena said with a smile before asking, "How was your date? Did you have a good time?"
"It was great, I even got to beat up an idiot I've never liked," Tephe replied proudly.
"We saw," Aphrodite said with a smile before holding up a thumb and saying, "Good job."
"Hehe," Tephe giggled while giving Aphrodite a thumbs-up in return.
"Where's Adam?" Rowena asked before adding with a smirk, "did he not come back with you?"
"He did." Tephe nodded before saying, "He went to check on Lorelie in the medical bay."
"Such a devoted boyfriend," Aphrodite said wistfully before asking, "So what was the deal with you suddenly turning green in your fight?"
"Oh, that seems I somehow turned into a green dragon," Tephe said proudly before telling them what she had discussed with Adam and Revi earlier.
"I'm no expert on dragons, but I'm pretty sure you can't just go changing your colour," Eri remarked in surprise.
"It's definitely something I've never heard of," Rowena replied.
"Yeah, yeah, that's great and all, but I want to hear about the juicy stuff," Aphrodite said dismissively before asking, "What happened between you and Adam?"
"What happened?" Tephe repeated in confusion before asking, "We went on a date, have you not been paying attention?"
Rowena and Eri stifled sniggers as they heard Tephe's response, while Emma smiled and said, "I think she means, did you and Adam get up to anything intimate?"
"Exactly," Aphrodite confirmed.
"Well, I got to walk arm in arm with him again, which was super nice," Tephe said happily.
"My dear Tephe, you are so innocent when it comes to the ways of love," Aphrodite remarked.
"Don't you mean the ways of sex?" Rowena asked before adding, "what do you know about love?"
"It's called making love for a reason," Aphrodite retorted.
"And yet you've never been in love," Rowena replied.
"Sure I have," Aphrodite replied, surprising Rowena before adding proudly, "I've loved almost every cock that's been inside me."
"Seriously?" Rowena asked in disbelief while Eri and Emma chuckled.
"I don't get it," Tephe said in confusion.
Aphrodite sighed and was about to reply when she suddenly looked in a certain direction as her eyes glowed slightly pink.
"Talk about good timing," she said with a smirk before turning back to Tephe while standing up and saying, "come with me."
"Huh?" Tephe replied while the other women observed with interest.
"I'm going to take you under my wing and teach you," Aphrodite replied.
"But you don't have wings, so shouldn't it be me taking you under my wing?" Tephe asked, causing Rowena, Eri and Emma to laugh.
"It was a metaphor," Aphrodite replied while rolling her eyes before grabbing Tephe's hand and leading her towards the door, saying, "just come with me."
"Is this ok?" Emma asked before adding, "Letting Aphrodite teach Tephe, I mean?"
"It's fine, it's probably a good thing since Adam is still slightly hesitant about moving forward with Tephe," Rowena replied while glancing up at the holographic screen that was displaying the USNN channel.
"Where do you think she's taking her?" Eri asked.
"Probably to spy on Adam and Stacey having sex," Rowena replied.
"How do you know they're having sex?" Emma asked in surprise.
"The way her eyes glowed for a moment, she must have sensed them being intimate," Rowena replied.
"I guess since Lorelie's still recovering, it would be Adam and Stacey," Eri remarked, to which Rowena nodded.
"I think it would be best if I followed them," Emma said before quickly adding, "to make sure Aphrodite doesn't corrupt poor Tephe."
Rowena glanced at Emma out of the corner and watched her quickly follow after Aphrodite and Tephe before smirking and turning to Eri to ask, "are you not going?"
"No, I have some research to do with Spector's help," Eri replied before several holographic screens appeared before her and she started fiddling with them.
Rowena nodded before turning her attention back to the holographic screen just as the host switched to a new story.
"In other news, the Eidolons race is preparing to…"

"Mmm, my such a mmm gentleman you are mmmm," Stacey said through moans of pleasure as Adam pounded his cock into her pussy while she bent over Lorelie's medical bed before adding.
"Only mmmm just come back from mmm your date and mmm already fucking another mmm woman."
"This was your doing, Stacey," Lorelie said with a sigh as she watched from her bed.
"Exactly," Adam agreed as he continued to thrust into her pussy while adding, "I came to check on Lorelie and found you two talking, only for you to approach me and stick your hand down my trousers."
"I got mmm horny thinking about you having sex mmm with Tephe and Revi, and Lorelie refused to partake, so I mmm couldn't hold back mmm when I saw you enter," Stacey answered as she began to move her ass around to increase both parties' pleasure.
"Then did it occur to you she might not want to watch?" Adam asked as he paused his thrusting and looked at Lorelie apologetically.
"No, don't stop, babe," Stacey whined with glazed eyes as she increased the movement of her ass to try and tempt Adam.
"Bad girl," Adam reprimanded before slapping Stacey's ass and making her squeal with a mixture of pain and pleasure.
"It's fine; continue," Lorelie said with a sigh before adding, "This is my punishment."
"Punishment?" Adam and Stacey asked in confusion simultaneously.
"For almost cheating on you all, I need to make amends for my foolishness," Lorelie explained.
"By watching us fuck?" Stacey asked while tilting her head.
"By being forced to watch while not being able to join in," Lorelie answered.
"Oh, yeah, that is worse," Stacey said in realisation as her ass began to move again.
"So the same as what you're making Aphrodite go through?" Adam asked as he pinched Stacey's ass in punishment.
"EEEKKKKKK," Stacey squealed.
"Yes, except while it's a test for her, it's a punishment for me," Lorelie said with a sigh before adding, "And mine is worse."
"Worse?" Stacey asked as she rubbed the part Adam had just punched while giving him the stink eye.
"Unlike with Aphrodite, I won't let any of you play with me while I'm going through self-punishment," Lorelie answered.
"That's pretty harsh, babe," Stacey said, addressing Lorelie.
"It's the least I deserve, especially as it was I who came up with the rule of only being intimate with group members," Lorelie replied.
"How long do you plan to punish yourself like this?" Adam asked with a concerned look as he removed his dick from Stacey.
"Hey!" Stacey complained as she gave him a disgruntled look.
"Don't give me that disgruntled look," Adam said with a frown before asking, "Don't you think making sure of our girlfriends well being is important?"
"Don't give me that concerned look, idiot," Lorelie said with a smile before adding, "Also, I'm fine, I'm just punishing myself since there is no one else to do it."
"I could do it," Stacey offered with a flirtatious smirk.
"That's not the sort of punishment I'm looking for," Lorelie said with a smile.
"Fine," Stacey shrugged before turning around and getting on her knees.
"What are you doing?" Adam asked.
"Haha, I think that's pretty obvious," Lorelie replied as Stacey took Adam's dick in her hand and began to slowly lick it from bottom to top while looking up into his eyes.
Adam shook his head before looking back at Lorelie and asking, "You said this all happened because you initially thought it would be fine if you had fun with Emma?"
"Yes, it's only now that I realise I was mistaken," Lorelie replied.
"Hmm," Adam replied as he looked down at Stacey with a thoughtful expression.
"What? Has my technique made you speechless?" Stacey asked flirtatiously before she gave his dick a quick kiss.
