Thirty minutes later, Fate was in a meeting room with three people in military uniforms. Behind her were Adel, Mike, and Chuck. Fate tapped the table with her finger as she used her other hand to hold her head while she stared at the woman in front of her. Behind the woman was her subordinates, two men who looked to be in their late twenties. The woman wore a blue cap with a symbol of a ship in front of a large fancy style F, with a blue military suit to match. She had a displeased look on her face as she stared at Fate. “Can you sit properly?”

“Huh? You forced your way on to MY ship and want to tell me how to act on MY ship? Are you okay, lady? Are you on your period? Menopause maybe? Not that I care. But do enlighten me as to why you are stopping my ship and disturbing my private time in taking care of my fluff? My Fluff really likes it when I pamper her, and I do not wish to see her sad because I was not able to meet her needs.” Fate said as she pulled Adel’s tail over and began stroking it, causing Adel’s face to flush.

“You vulgar dirty slu….” The woman stopped her words when she felt a strong killing intent bearing down on her. She looked up to see the fox girl who was blushing earlier from being teased, baring her fangs getting ready to pounce. 

“Adel, relax. You have to remember when someone is either on menopause or having their period for longer than a week, they will be very moody. Sometimes shit just pours out of their mouth. It can get ugly.” Fate said as she pulled Adel into her lap and scratched her ears. Adel pouted and leaned against Fate but kept her eyes on the woman in front of her.

“You!” The woman really did not know how to handle the young woman in front of her. The mouth on the girl was enough to anger her to death ten times over. “I will have you know I am only twenty-four! And second, I am not on….”

“Ahem… Captain…” One of the young men behind the woman interrupted. He knew how easily flustered his captain gets. He then looked at Fate and said coldly. “Listen, pirate. I do not care if you are a woman or not. I will not stand by while you demean my captain.”

Fate’s eyes lifted to look at the man behind the woman, and a thought came to mind. Fate smiled sweetly at him as she seductively bit her finger as she said: “What if I were to say that if you join my side, I will let you do as you please?”

Both Mike and Chuck shivered when they heard Fate speaking like this. While what Fate said would normally make any man jump at the chance to be with such a beautiful young woman, the words they heard are not what Fate spoke. What they heard was: “Why not let me rip your heart out so I can eat it for a snack?”

The male guard who had spoke up looked at Fate’s beautiful face and seductively teasing smile and gulped. He had a sudden urge to really leave everything behind and take the girl up on her offer. “I…”

“Pfft!!!! Ahahaha!” Fate let out a laugh as she hugged Adel. Adel rolled her eyes. Her master was too mischievous. “Adel, did you see that!? He really thought about it! Look, even his dick raised up! Ahahaha!”

Everyone's eyes turned to see a tent in the guard's pants. It was clear as day that the guard had fantasized about doing something dirty. Even his captain looked at him with disdain. “We will talk about your actions later.” After saying this, she turned to look at Fate, who was wiping the tears from her eyes with a more serious expression. “Since bickering is getting us nowhere, I will get down to it. This ship was in a fight with another Federation ship not too long ago. This ship entered a forbidden zone and may have taken something from it. We will be conducting a full search of your ship to see if you are holding any contraband. If any are found, you will be….”

“Who the hell do you think you are!?” Fate suddenly pushed Adel to the side and yelled out as she stood up. “I hate to tell you, old lady, but this ship is not under your Federation control. Nor am I part of your Federation. If you want to try to force your way onto my ship any more than you have, then I will take it as an act of aggression towards me and my small crew which is mainly female.” 

Both the woman’s guards suddenly stepped forward and pointed their guns at Fate. At the same time, the door opened, and Becky walked in with a tray that had a teapot and cups on it. But when she saw what was happening, she did not hesitate to drop the tray in her hand and run to stand in front of Fate. “Becky, what are you doing!?” Fate yelled as she pulled the young girl behind her. “Why are you here!?”

“I was just…. Don’t hurt our Boss!” Becky went to answer Fate but quickly pushed her way back in front of Fate with her arms spread out wide protectively.  “Boss has saved us from the hands of bad people and has given us new meaning to life. I will not allow you to hurt her!” 

The woman looked at the young girl who was only a few years younger than Fate, whose eyes were filled with fear yet determination. Determination to project the young woman behind her. She was starting to think that the intel she received was very wrong. At that time, the door once more opened up, and two more women walked in. Val bent down and began picking up the tray and the shards of glass from the teapot, While Emily walked over and stood next to Fate as well. “Boss, we will always stand by your side. If not for you, we would not have been treated like human beings again. So if anyone dares to try to harm you, we will be your shields.”

Fate looked at the two girls and then at Val, who also walked over after cleaning up the mess and stood at her side. “You girls! What are you doing!? Do you want to get yourselves killed!? These people are insane. They point guns at beautiful girls. What makes you think they won’t use them to shoot you!?”
