But then the other woman looked at him and Katrina flew from his mind like it was sucked clean by a black hole. He felt his body warm and become almost pliant. “Umm… of course, M’Lady. Anything for you.” He actually took a step forward and offered the crook of his arm to escort her. Even the man at her side was forgotten. “Anyone tell you you are more beautiful than the Medusa Nebula?” He flashed his most dashing smile as he hit on her.

Engin.. umm.. something or other “Hi gorgeous!”

Katrina raised her eyebrows. The true heart of Katrina lie in the computer systems of the Black Sparrow. While she could appear to be sentient via holographic projection, she in truth could open and close doors at will, turn on and off the engines, and blast a hole right into space if she truly felt like it.

“Mr. Burgess, you are not well. Please see yourself to sickbay.” She then turned to Apollonia and Longstreet. “I will respectfully request that you both make your way back to central guest hub. From there you will receive your quarters designation for the trip and be allowed to tour elsewhere at your pleasure. I can lead you there if you like.” She offered a grin, but it was clear she was not totally pleased with what was going on.

Apollonia smiled politely, gave a girlish wave to the engineer, and nodded her understanding to the woman. She had “infected” the engineer. He was hers to manipulate at a later time. Women were much more dangerous. IF she had any attachment to this man she could overpower even the strongest Orion influence to preserve that natural instinct. Which was “if its mine its mine and stay away”. She dialed it back.

Longstreet for his part was as cordial.

“Just exploring ma’am. Can’t fault us for being interested can you?” He said.

As they turned and walked away he knew there were things to investigate on the ship. If the engines were not possible well then he would keep looking. It was a once in a lifetime shot at Conrad and he would take it. He looked over at Apollonia and knew her mind was spinning but probably for far less noble reasons than his.

Burgess smiled and waved to the young woman, and slowly turned towards Katrina as if in a dream like state. “I… umm… yes Ma’am.” His look of pure confusion was evident as he looked around like he was trying to figure out where he was. Shrugging when he couldn’t remember what he had been doing, he moved away from the group the opposite direction to go to medical. But for the life of him, he wasn’t sure why.

Longstreet and Apollonia caught up to the group. Apollonia interrupted the persons speaking at the moment.

“Excuse me. When do we get to our quarters. Absolutely worn out.” She said changing her tone toward a country girl charm.

Apollonia

Katherine had been speaking to another guest and turned to Apollonia as she interrupted. “I’ll be with you in just a moment, Ma’am..” She smiled and nodded in an equally charming way. She had seen the woman come in and saw the charm turn on like a light switch. As gorgeous as the woman was, she was sure it worked nearly every time. Even on women.

Finishing the explanation of quarters and the galley to the man she was talking to, she then turned to the couple. “Welcome aboard. I’m Katherine and happy to answer any questions I can. As to your quarters, if you’ll give me your names, I’ll be happy to tell you and get you an escort as well.” While she had to remain in the common areas to keep the guests more or less wrangled, she also had a few security around to help. And that meant escorts to rooms and such, to keep them from ‘accidentally’ taking wrong turns.

“My love are you not so charming and pretty. Helpful as well. Im App and this is Long. We like to go by those names if you don’t mind. We are away from it all. A little role play if you must.” Appolonia said and winked at the girl while subtly rubbing the pilots arm.

“As she said.” Longstreet said on que.

App and Long

Longstreet watched Apollonia and wondered how many times she was playing him vs how many times she was serious. He suspected she was serious toward him but then again this was her bread and butter. He watched how easily she turned it on. He also knew she could turn it off and was as deadly as they come when she did.

Longstreet

Katherine had been looking down at the list as the woman spoke their names and missed the subtle flirtatious looks. It was the touch on her arm that made her look up, her body tensing against the unexpected contact. She checked their names off the list and turned to nod down the hall towards the guest quarters, removing herself from the ability of App to touch her again without stepping into her.

“I am so glad you are getting a chance to relax. I hear it doesn’t happen often on the station. I have you in separate rooms, but if you wish to remain together, that is perfectly fine as well.” She was smiling but it wasn’t as genuine and warm as a moment ago. On first look, it was exactly the same. The minute difference was, this time, it didn’t reach her eyes. She was studying them and chances are they would know it. Not knowing who she was, it could possibly be easily brushed off. But she knew predators when she saw them. These two she would have to keep an eye on. Glancing a little longer at the woman, the only thing she could think of was the non Federation lessons she had learned at the Academy. One of those included the fact that women were only this eager, smiling and flirtatious with other women for two reasons… one was genuine attraction. The other was far more nefarious. And Katie was sure she wasn’t going to let herself drop into that trap. “Please, enjoy the refreshments. We will be underway soon.” She nodded and motioned to one of the guards and instructed him to take them to their quarters if they wished it. Turning away from them as she walked away, she mouthed to the guard to keep an eye on them.

Apollonia knew when she had an easy mark on her hands and competition. This woman was the kind she had to be smart with. She was sure she could still manipulate her but the how might have changed.

Longstreet and she both smiled at her and then followed the guard. Apollonia leaned into him in a loving way as her head careened next to his ear.

“This might be harder than I thought dear.” She said. “Lets do the separate rooms. I might need some wiggling room to get good info on these characters for you.”

Longstreet said nothing. He knew she wanted that room to have more freedom to see what advantages she could find for herself. Sure she would help him out too but her primary focus was for herself. The more things changed the more they stayed the same.
