The Bulikaya Particle: Thex's leap 4. Pirate booty

Posted on Sun Aug 9th, 2020 @ 5:31pm by Lieutenant Commander Thex sh'Zoarhi

With another bump Thex found herself back in reality. Or in this case a few centimeters above it. She crashed onto a table which broke under her weight splitting the wooden table down the middle. Staggering to her feet she looked around her new environment.

She oddly recognized this place. It looked similar to the captain's quarters only with less starfleet memorabilia and more pirate gear, artwork and alien treasure. A figure moved in the bed sitting up and looking straight at her.

Striding over from the bed was another her. Clad in nothing, but a pink semi-transparent robe, and a thin golden collar around her neck the other thing about this version of her that stood out was a tattoo across the right side of her face that was clearly one of the designs of the Artan pirates. A confused smile was on her face as she knelt down beside Thex. “ Now this is unexpected.” She said in an oddly calming voice. Her eyes glanced at Thex bandaged arm. “ What did you pick a fight with to cause that.” She said before she stood up and returned to the bed and pulled a medical kit from underneath it.

“ A borg drone. I was exposed to Bulukiya particle and i’ve been jumping from dimension to dimension. “ Thex replied as the mirror returned and started properly treating her damaged arm.

“ Well from the uniform your clearly starfleet.” her mirror said as she worked.

“ Yeah, I escaped andor and set of to join the fleet. Was that your plan?” the hera sapphire girl answered.

“ Well, i did escape from andor and wanted to join the fleet. Only the ship i was on was captured by Artan pirates. Captain Telvan claimed me as her share of the booty and i’ve been with the crew ever since. Learned how to keep the ship’s running, learned the way’s of being a pirate and how to please my captain. “ the mirror explained.

“You're her slave?” Thex said feeling slightly shocked.

“ Was. I bought my freedom long ago, but Telvan had made me her captain's woman long ago. The collars are own little plaything” the mirror version of her responded sincerely as she placed with the leash clip of the golden collar.

Thex could feel herself starting to fade again. “ Well, that’s me out of here. “ She said flexing her arm. It was still hurting and she’d need to see the doc about it, but she was unlikely to lose it. “ Thanks for the fix.”

“ Just do the same for me if we ever cross paths again.” The mirror replied as she gawped as Thex shone in a bright blue light before disappearing. Corsair Thex face turned into a smile as she put away the first aid gear before looking at the broken table. How was she going to explain this?
