galaxies. His skin occasionally became wet on it’s own and he had gills on the side of his neck. His hands and feet were webbed, which meant he wore a different uniform so that in case he should ever need to swim he would be able to. It was their greatest asset.
    “Nash,” he said nodding.
    “Stadar, this is Ellora.”
    Stadar bent down all the way at his waist bowing before her. Nash knew that that was a common gesture among his people. But it flustered Ellora. He watched as the red crept up into her cheeks. Why did she look like that when he talked to her? What was so great about Stadar anyway?
    “It’s my pleasure to meet you. Glad to have you on board. I’m one of the main engineers on the ship, I hope that I can provide you with a smooth ride during your stay.”
    Ellora giggled and covered her mouth. “A smooth ride? I hope you can too. Why don’t you join us?”
    Nash stood from his spot without even realizing what he was doing. “That won’t be necessary. We’re just finishing here; I have to take you to the medical bay next. Figure out what’s going on with that microchip.”
    Stadar looked annoyed but nodded his head to both of them before walking away.
    “A mission’s a mission. I always finish mine,” Nash said as he sat back down and clutched his cup of juice.
    “Is that all I am? Just a mission? Because I could’ve sworn what I just saw now was jealousy. You know what that word means or do I need to explain that to you as well?”
    Nash knew what it meant. Even if he’d never heard it before he suddenly knew what jealousy felt like. Blood rushing through his veins so fast and hard that it drummed within his ears. His heart beating so fast he thought he would jump across the table and strangle Stadar just for talking to Ellora. He didn’t understand his feelings but he knew that they were valid. And he knew deep down that his commander was right.
    Mates still did exist, and Ellora was his.

Ellora
    “ J ust lay back dear ,” the doctor said as he adjusted Ellora on the medical table. It was soft, covered in light blue sheets that matched the uniforms of the younger lieutenants. Just like Nash.
    “Is this going to hurt?”
    The older doctor clucked his tongue. It slithered out from underneath his teeth, split in the middle. It matched his exterior as well, scales covered fifty percent of his humanlike skin. His eyes were piercing green hidden behind old spectacles. He didn’t make Ellora uncomfortable by any means, she had seen his type before. Almost all Replal were obsessed with the medical profession, so anytime she got a serious cut or burn Lazio would call one of them to come check her out. At least he had enough decency to do that, she knew of other slave owners that would just rather let them die.
    “I promise to never to hurt you. You’re a guest on our ship, regardless of what some of the lieutenants or commander feel. You are not a prisoner my dear. We just need to find where they put this chip and figure how to get it out of you, then we can send you on your way.”
    She nodded to him as he slipped the mask over her face and she closed her eyes. She could still hear everything that was going on, and she figured if she opened her eyes she could’ve seen it as well but she’d rather not. She felt the pinch of the needle go into her hand and a warm feeling emanate through her body. It felt nice, almost as if she could finally get some sleep. She closed her eyes. She allowed herself to be taken off into a dream world while the doctor did his examination, she could listen when she woke up.

    N ash watched from behind the glass doors as the machine ran over Ellora’s body three times. He noticed the doctor out of the corner of his eye taking notes and surveying the scans. Finally, the scanner stopped right above her chest and began to blink. A grim expression moved across the doctor’s face as he examined the monitors. Behind him, Nash saw the commander
