jostling her. Where had she seen that man's face before?
Slowly, his features crystallized in her mind's eye from the images she'd seen on the list of new hires.
Major Cord Blackstone, Security Chief for Fastron Corporation. Ex-major actually. He'd resigned his
contract with Fastron Corporation and accepted a huge financial penalty in order to take the position of a
lowly guardsman upon her ship, the Wyrm Runner.
The serpent tattoo coiled on Helga's left arm unwound itself and shimmered into a living entity. Silk
slithered past Helga's shoulder, lifted her head and rubbed a tiny, scaled nose behind Helga's ear. Acute
interest tinged with a frisson of sexual desire hummed into Helga's mind. Interesting. Silk had noticed this
man too. The possibilities were intriguing.
Helga spun on her heel and strode away. All of a sudden she was very,very eager for tomorrow to
begin. As for tonight& well& a prolonged session in one of the VR stimulators would have to suffice until
she could get the real thing.

Master Sen Lui arched his left eyebrow.  Why the change from full suit to half-suit for tonight's session?
Cord bowed.  I resigned from Fastron Corporation two months ago.
He laid his equipment bag, sword and scabbard on the stand and moved through the traditional stretches
of arms, shoulders, legs and feet. The nano-metal fabric of his sleeveless coverall and boots moved like
liquid over his body, instantly adapting to every change in position. The equipment bag contained the rest
of his spacesuit: sleeves, gloves, helmet and emergency air pack. Only a fool walked a spaceship without
his suit components close at hand. Critical seconds lost looking for suit components could mean the
difference between life and death during emergency decompression.
 I accepted a position as guardsman on the Wyrm Runner.
 Ah! Sen Lui grinned. His dark skin, almond-shaped eyes and short, kinky red hair bespoke his unique
racial blend of black, Asian and Celtic ancestry.
He didn't have to say anything else. Sen Lui understood the reason now for the half-suit. Death was
instant during decompression within a wyrmhole no matter what kind of suit you wore. Guardsmen and

serpent hunters preferred the slight advantage of more freedom of motion in a half-suit while fighting
wyrmdragons.
Cord finished his stretches, walked back to the practice mat with his sword and bowed again. Sen Lui
uncoiled himself from his lotus position, unsheathed his sword and bowed.
They began their session with a warm-up sequence of basic strokes and positions. Step by step they
moved, forward and back, circling and feeling each other's movements and patterns. It was both greeting
and conversation, a dialogue in steel and motion.
They wore no padding, no blunted swords, no facemasks. A misstep, a failed move meant mutilation
and possible death.
The session turned serious. They moved faster, probing each other's strengths and weaknesses. Circle,
step, feint, parry. The blades whirled and caught the light, faster and faster. Beauty and death combined
in every motion of their fatal dance. Body and soul joined in deadly battle.
A final clash of steel against steel filled the air. They disengaged and sheathed their blades.
Sweat poured down Cord's face. He felt perfectly relaxed and tired. His arms and legs ached. Tremors
of exhaustion shook his body. It was a good fight. He bowed.  Thank you, Master.
Sen Lui bowed.  Thank you. He quirked a sardonic eyebrow at Cord.  If you succeed and become
one of the serpent hunters, contact me and let me know how it feels. I might want to change my vocation
too.

Helga stretched herself out on the VR bed and closed her eyes. Nude, she waited while the automated
probes snaked out and touched her mouth, her shoulders, the hollow of her throat, her breasts and
nipples, her hands and fingers, her clit, pussy and anus, the insides of her thighs and knees and the soles
of her feet. A sensor cap gently fitted itself over her scalp and eyes.
Total sensory input. As an added bonus, the VR set-up also allowed her full access to Silk, almost as if
they walked together again within the altered para-reality of the wyrmhole.
Slowly, carefully, she relaxed her mind and pulled up the memories she had of Cord walking past her
into the Sen Lui's martial arts academy. The lean, hard lines of his body. The veins bulging on his
well-muscled arms. Would he have the same kind of veins twisting around the thick shaft of his erection?
She smiled and imagined his strong naked body lying beside her. He reached for her. Her heart beat
faster. Her skin came alive. She felt his fingers brush against her breast. Her nipples hardened, eager to
feel his fingers and mouth upon them.
He bent his head down to her. She lifted hers to meet his. Their lips met in a hard, demanding kiss. His
tongue probed her mouth. Her clit throbbed under the gentle pulses of the VR sensor.
Cord pulled back and smiled at her. He ran his thumb across her mouth.
Silk materialized beside Helga. Prismatic scales glittered on her human-shaped body, breasts and hips.
Cord smiled, reached past Helga and touched Silk's breast. The serpent woman's scaled nipples pebbled

with arousal. Silk murmured in a husky voice.  I look forward to sharing this one with you, my
hostsister.
