Unnamed Porno Fanfic II (Chapter III up)

FIVE YEARS LATER.
The Independent Space Station “Astra Vegas”, on the Federation Frontier…
As Falkenhorst gave Sheppard the guided tour of his new Space Station, Shep could only look back and dream as to how much he had missed out on by not going legit (well-semi legit).
In this haven amongst the stars enforcement of laws regarding promiscuity and substance abuse either went unenforced, or didn’t even exist. Falkenhorst knew a business opportunity every time he saw one and jumped at the chance, selling his share of the porn production company and the aging former Klingon ship Asskicker to Shep to get his startup capital.
He had succeeded wildly, everywhere Shep’s eyes turned abord the station there was sweet blissful sin and indulgence. A corner hash-café was filled with the collective fumes from patrons of numerous species as they puffed hallucinogenic plans from star systems across the galaxy. Weapons were sold openly, including shoulder mounted microphoton launchers that could take out an unshielded runabout in one shot. More interest were the pair of green skinned Orion girls in the midst of frenzied passion. Judging by the empty guitar case in front of them, and the heavy armed Nausicaan standing behind watching the crowd intently Shep identified them as sex buskers with an armed guard. Their public performance was drawing quite the crowd and as the small bars of latinum were tossed in they increased their pace and responded to requests.
One man tossed in a full bar and squealed with delight “lick her asshole!” One of the Orions obliged, turned her lithe partner around so that she stood legs akimbo with her arms bracing then bench. She then spread her partner’s cheeks and began delicately dragging her tongue over the puckered flesh, and moved her hand up, gliding her fingers over the dripping wet pussy but mere centimeters away.
The crowd roared with approval until an overzealous Andorian took a step forward and was promptly shot in the head by a disruptor, causing the victim’s cranium to explode. The body fell backwards and was dragged off by a couple of armed guards at the discretion of Falkenhorst’s assistant and Station CFO Nog, who accompanied the two men on their tour.
“And over here…Falkenhorst said has he escorted Shep down the gleaming white hallway, waiting for a minute as Sheppard became entranced by the Orion sex buskers, who had moved into a 69 position and were making more money in that minute than Shep had over the last six months. Fortunately Falkenhorst had offered to take the Asskicker and her crew in until Shep could find them some work.
“Over here is one of our body modification parlors.” Looking in through the window of the parlor, a young woman was seated on a chair face down as a curious looking man wearing chains, leather, and surgical gear performed a procedure on the back of her neck. “The rage right now,” Falkenhorst explained, “is to add duranium links under the skin, graft to the bone, and then cover the link with skin. The BDSM crowd loves them for built in fetish play. The chains can be kept at home when not in use, and are much more durable than the retractable pet leashes.”
“Doesn’t Starfleet come in and bust your ass over this though?” Shep asked. “Federation body modification laws are very strict, needless for me to mention the various distilleries, fetish clubs, holo-brothels, and was that a guy dealing crack in the last hallway?”
“We’re small enough that the Federation doesn’t really keep tabs on us,” Falkenhorst explained. “Besides, I’ve just made a deal that will keep the Federation out of here forever.”
Opening the door to where the two were scheduled to have lunch, Shep stepped through the door in horror to see Data. “We would be honored if you would join us Mr. Sheppard.”
Sheppard’s jaw dropped and he went for his sidearm, a 9mm Glock that hadn’t left his side in five years time, but the android’s metal skin proved too much for the bullets.
”That pale mechanical fuck has been seriously upgraded.” Thought Sheppard as the doors closed behind him.
UNNAMED PORNO FANFIC II
CHAPTER ONE: THESE BROKEN BONDS
Starfleet HQ, Earth.
Sitting in his quarters at Starfleet Command on Earth, Admiral William T Riker sat at his desk, stroking his beard as if it were a treasured family pet. He was in the middle of a visual transmission to the Federation President.
“Admiral Riker, the Zeon political situation is unstable at best. I don’t see how you think you will be able to convince them to help our failing economic situation.”
Beneath Riker’s beard, a smug grin began to form. “I can see why you would think that Mr. President, but what if I were to tell you that I have a tacit agreement with the Duchess of Zeon herself to reopen Zeon markets to Federation goods and services, including an exclusivity agreement to provide the entire Principality with raw spermstock.”
The President’s eyebrows arched high, the Zeon sperm shortage was in its fourth year after the fallout between the two governments after the “Hyperion Debacle” when Federation Captain Hyperion crashed an entire year’s worth of sperm bound for Zeon into a nearby planet.
“You have to understand my skepticism at that statement Admiral. Between the harm caused by our failure, YOUR personal failure to get that cargo reclaimed (SEE UPF CHAPTER 11!), and the fallout from Janeway’s abysmal negotiating afterwards we lot about 25% of our GDP!”
“It was a relationship thought beyond repair Mr. President,” Riker said, “at one time, but as the saying goes ‘Give the customer what they want.’ And I found out what the Duchess of Zeon wants more than anything else, and…”
Riker leaned back slightly with a dramatic pause and then clasped his hands together in a sinister fashion.
“I’m in the process of delivering that right now.”
The Independent Space Station “Astra Vegas”, on the Federation Frontier…
“Falkenhorst you fucking traitor…when I get out of here I’ll..”
Falk motioned over to Nog, who put on a pair of brass knuckles and proceeded to punch Sheppard in the dick as he was held in place by a pair of goldshirts.
“You were saying old friend?” Falkenhorst turned away from his former partner and looked over at Data, who was flexing the hand that he had used to deflect Shep’s bullet. “Maybe you didn’t realize that I’m in this business for money, not to make friends, and even though you’ve been flat ass broke since we split up you’ve managed to amass quite the bounty on your head.”
When the Data personality had been uploaded into B-4, it eventually took over the entire body resurrecting the destroyed Android, however in their attempt to build the most perfect spy the Romulans had also added several upgraded components, including reinforced armor plating for the exoskeleton and phaser lenses in the eyes. Data looked directly at Shep and fired the phaser eyes, stunning Shep into unconsciousness.
“So…we cool?” Falk said as he straightened the cufflinks on his slick suede suit.
“Yes Mr. Falkenhorst I believe that your and the Federation are ‘cool’ for the most part, Admiral Riker will be quite satisfied. However I must inform you that under Federation directive 396 I cannot allow you to maintain possession of Mr. Sheppard’s vessel.”
“You robotic sacksuck that’s my fucking ship! We had a deal!” Falk yelled as Nog reached for the brass knuckles again, anticipating a possible fight with the goldshirts.
“I have altered the deal,” Data said, “pray I don’t alter it any further.”
Falkenhorst cracked his knuckles and spit on the floor. Although he had no regret for turning in Sheppard, he had a lot of sentimental attachment to the Asskicker which he had largely restored himself from a run down shell barely suited for scrap.
“Now if you’ll excuse me gentlemen,” Data said as he directed the goldshirts to drag Sheppard away. “Take Sheppard into custody, where he will remain pending his extradition.”
Data and the Federation goldshirts left the room, giving Falkenhorst and Nog a chance to talk. “They came in on shuttles right? That means they will have to send a ship back for the Asskicker, you get the old boys together and tell them if they fucking play along with you I’ll give them each a thousand bucks. Load the cargo hold with all the spare parts and wait for me to show up, I am not letting those goddamn commies take my ship!”
“Very good sir,” Nog replied. “A question though, were do you think they are extraditing Shep to?”
Falkenhorst recalled the misadventures he spent time travelling with Sheppard, hoping that he was very wrong about his assumption.
“I have an idea Nog, and if it’s what I think it is then Shep is royally and truly fucked.”
The Hall of Feminine Oversight, Zeon Prime
The Duchess of Zeon, Marina O’Leary a.k.a Marina Von Zeon was the Head of State and Chief Executive of all 99 worlds of the Femdominate Principality of Zeon (a number inflated by no fewer than sixteen unmanned outposts in lifeless systems and twenty seven settlements of fewer than two thousand individuals propped up and maintained economically through government subsidizations). In addition to her duties ruling the country she was also the CEO of the State Owned Spermtrans Corporation.
Spermtrans was the constitutionally mandated monopoly charged with procuring viable sperm for use in the feminist utopias reproductive programs. As a feminist dominated dosciety with lesbianism strongly encouraged, imported sperm was essential to maintain population health. What few fertile males that lived in Zeon possessed no rights and were owned as property, just beneath pets on the societal structure, although they could become second class citizens provided they submit to castration to ensure their degrading sexual tastes were eliminated.
Unfortunately, an accident five years ago had crippled Zeon’s population growth. Attempts at viable cloning, and other various genetic experiments failed miserably. Leaving a five year window before the population would begin a dramatic age shift. Other importers were examined but the overwhelmingly human population of Zeon, descended from Earth colonists in sleeper ships, required sperm from the only other nation with a strong human population, the Federation.
A joke from a Federation Ambassador in the months following nearly provoked a war when he said publically that “Women aren’t good at science no wonder they’ve got so many fucking problems.” It was a dispute that only ended when the Ambassador in question died in a mysterious “transporter accident.” The lack of evidence pointing to an assassination was the clearest indication that the renowned Zeon assassination bureau “Miss-sad” was involved. However, with their economy in a state of shock following the cessation of trade with one of their biggest trading partners, the Federation declined to pursue the matter.
Meanwhile, the Duchess was also dealing with family strife. Five years ago her adopted daughter, Colonel Zaia Von Zeon, had gone on out on a routine investigation to investigate Breastmilk smuggling by members of a Porn Cartel also closely linked to the Zeonic Government’s Lesbian Procurement Division, a division responsible for recruiting gorgeous females to improve the physical beauty of the population (their motto: Beauty Inside and Out) through subsequent generations.
Upon returning, Zaia had seemed distant. A motherly offer to listen and an a subtle threat of interrogation later and Zaia revealed that she had undertaken a Temporal Preservation Mission. Under Zeon Military Law any attempt to undo the Principality via Time Travel was an act of aggression and it was the duty of all Zeon Citizens to prevent this by any means necessary. She revealed the treachery of the gnomes, and her moment of weakness in the past where she had consorted with a male, and a moment of further weakness where she had given birth and abandoned the child.
Feigning empathy the Duchess listened in every detail, but in truth she was cataloging every detail, the history she was listening to sounded familiar in a way. Secretly taking some of Zaia’s DNA from her hairbrush she had it compared to her own, and was horrified at the result.
The Duchess of Zeon, one of the Founding Mothers of the Femdominate Principality of Zeon, had adopted her own mother. She learned that her name itself was a paradox, as Zaia had named the baby Marina after her own adopted daughter. In essence she was named for herself. She had been abandoned in an attempt to guarantee her own future, but the life of an orphan had been a tough one and dissatisfaction with society’s treatment of women had led her to work to found Zeon itself.
This all meant that the one known as Sheppard, who five years ago had been one of the most influential Porn Cartel figures in the quadrant, was her father.
Embarrassed and humiliated beyond belief she waged a silent war against the porn industry under the guise of protecting women to run her estranged father out of business, to ruin his life as he had hers, although she could never admit to the fact that her life had been ruined, as admitting as such would be an admission that founding Zeon was anything but the pinnacle of her achievements, which would be treason.
The initial shock of discovering her heritage had tempered her response, but her outrage was still palpable. Colonel Zaia Von Zeon was stripped of her commission and last name and exiled to one of the subsistence colonies where she would build a life for herself. The love for her daughter and the hatred for her mother created a swirl of emotion best left for the judges of time and distance to rule on her fate.
She had felt her revenge almost complete when the problems of Zeon’s population trouble had started to show the early effects, pediatricians across the “99” worlds were reporting that their number of patients aged 2 or lower had plummeted dramatically and a scare was starting to build. The only answer of course would be to resume Federation sperm shipments, but could not appear weak in doing so.
Fortunately she had the ear of one Admiral William T Riker, whom she had met in the aftermath of the destruction of Romulus at a conference dealing with that situation on Q’onos. She had overheard Riker’s dissatisfaction with the Federation leadership and saw her opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. In exchange for letting it appear to be Riker who brokered the deal that would save Zeon’s people and revitalize the UPF economy, Riker would use his considerable military resources to find and locate her father, who had fallen off the grid. She didn’t tell him of their relation, merely that he was a wanted fugitive. With that done, Riker would gain prominence in the Federation as well and be able to seize a loftier position for him. The Duchess believed Riker to be inherently stupid, which would weaken the Federation and tip the balance of power more in Zeon’s favor.
She stood by herself in the Great Hall of Womanly Champions, looking at the unspeakably tall life sized statues, some of them reaching heights of nearly two meters. She was waiting for word from Riker, who was due to communicate her promptly.
After nearly an hour of musing, she finally got her response. One of her aides, a nubile young auburn haired girl with streaks of blonde wearing the standard issue button down blouse and short skirt all of her aides were required to wear, came into the room with the recorded message on a data pad, encrypted for the Duchess’s eyes only. As she turned to leaver her mistress in private, the Duchess gave into temptation and slapped the girl on the backside in the traditional Zeon way. Entering her password, she watched the recording of Riker.
“Greetings Duchess Von Zeon, if you’re receiving this message then it pleases me to inform you that Sheppard is in custody, we will transfer him to your tender love and care at the agreed upon meeting site at Deep Space Twelve. You may bring one ship and that’s it, Riker out.”
The Duchess gave a predatory smile, “You think that you’re the one running this little game of ours Admiral, but the lion tamer’s perceived skill is only equal to that of the lion’s patience. I believe you will find soon that the whip you carry is not the protection you believe it to be!”
