Captain Vortigen, barely able to move, dug deep into his energy spirit and once more sent out the white beam of energy.  The Virgin Valkerie combined all she could, but her reserve black matter energy, with some of that slowly leaking out of her side, with the Captain’s.  It revived the crippled twenty two ships.  The Captain came back to consciousness for a brief moment and with great effort, whispered out his order.  It was heard by the keen hearing of the Charts Major.  He said one word, “Animor.”  He collapsed and the ship engulfed him in a biopod.  The Virgin Valkyrie then spoke to the crew, “Auto navigation is engaged, I am injured, medical stasis is require for both of us, but for the moment, the Captain and I shall sleep in victory.  You have all done well.” 

Meanwhile Captain Cremelyn, stealth towing the Luxfor Training Cruiser, The Sassie Gussie has just transfeered the Avrivion Warrior Cadets to her ship, the Mongoose.   The male members of her crew are besides themselves as the semi-clad warriors, all women, come on board.  The warriors are aware of their seductive effect on the crew.  Cremelyn, aware of this effect, sends down two female security teams that escort her daughter, Jen Kniye to the bridge.

When she arrived before Cremelyn, Jen Kniye, began, ” How dare you take my ship in tow?  We are Avrivion Warriors, Mother!  We fear no one, especially those cowards of the Bengra Empire.”

Captain Cremelyn considered her answers carefully and then spoke, “Jen, Shut Up.  That was a Third Fleeter and it was going in for the kill the PCT could have taken you out at any time, they were using you for practice.   You are lucky that they were busy watching you and not looking around for us.  As for your ship, I can not leave it here and it does give us some place to put the salvage.  I…” 

Captain Cremelyn was interrupted by her Chart Major, “Sorry Ma’am, but you had better look at this intel beam.”

She holds a beam of energy in her hands and looks deep into the various colors as they glow information to her.

The Captain looks up at him with a grimace.  

” Jen, we will discuss this, later, for now you and the rest of your cadets just enlisted in the new Vorgarian Privateers, One Fleet, on my ship.  You are now part of my crew, you will report to Avrivion Commander Cort.  Chart Major award them the Darrick Award for Bravery and then put them on mess duty for a month.” commanded Captain Cremelyn.

She continued “Was the ping Confirmed?”

The Chart Major said, “Yes, we will meet up here.  General Bratykol and his forces are amassing here.  We will be able to make it with her to Animor two weeks before his forces will arrive.  He has recalled the Fourth from the  Arica system and the Third, Seventh, and Ninth from our sector.  They mean to kill us all at Animor.  I think that is why he called off the search for the Star Beauty.   Ma’am, I hate to bring this up but that is a lot of ships.  One more thing, they put a bigger bounty on your head, your now worth double of your last reward, three hundred and thirty million, now.”

Captain Cremelyn looked a the  Chart Major and said, “Let me know when its at a billion, I’ll turn myself in. Okay, lets join the Star Beauty here,” she pointed to a point on her star orb and then continued to commanding her order out, ” and get her to Animor.  Captain Vortigen better be right, I never would have thought it possible.  Spies, I hate them. Jen, you are dismissed, but you will join me for dinner tonight in my cabin, I want to know what you are going to tell your father about this little episode. “
