So the ship has specific centers for teleporting down to a planet or to other ships.So the ship has specific centers for teleporting down to a planet or to other ships. The technician inside was someone I trusted, and I nodded to him to get ready. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a blindfold, tying it around Kathy's head. She accepted it with only a slight whimper. She hates being blindfolded. I leaned over to her ear and said "It's only for a few minutes, slave." She nodded. "Ken?" the Tellakelvar behind the panel said, "I have a lock on the SDisk you wanted." "Thank you, Jilliam." I directed Kathy onto the SDisk, stepped on myself, and said "At your leisure, Jill." He nodded one head as the other worked the panel. We vanished... ... and found ourselves tumbling in zero-g. There was one small light which Kathy couldn't see, so I grabbed her by the blouse and steadied her. She whimpered again. "Are you allright, slave?" I asked. "I'm fine, sir," she said with a slight shortness of breath. "Just surprised." "Good," I said. I bounced off the wall I had a hold of and grabbed one of the four leather restraints, bouncing back to Kathy and securing one wrist. Then the other wrist, and then each ankle. I don't usually like suspension bondage, but with no gravity, I wasn't worried. I took the four ropes and tied them with a knot to the cleat on the wall behind her back. She was now completely spread eagled, hung in zero-g. Since she was the only fixed item in the room, she now defined the 'top' and 'bottom.' I smiled at the thought, and descended to the bottom of the room, turning out the light. For a while the only sound was that of her breathing. I was waiting for my eyes to adjust, and for Kathy to get a little anxious. She whimpered slightly every once in a while. After a while I could see her clearly by the only remaining light, that of the stars. I carefully maneuvered my way up until I was in front of her, holding onto her shoulders to stay in place. I reached behind her and gently pulled off her blindfold, casting it aside and letting it drift about. She looked up and said, "Wha...?" We were in a sphere barely three meters across, made of completely clear ceramic with a very low index of refraction. |
