Chapter 100: Meeting the Mercs.

Walking through the Thanatos, I had mixed feelings on its appearance. On one hand it looked sturdy, well built, could take a quite the beating. On the other hand. "Why does this place look like a pigsty?" I spoke aloud to Kathrine.

Running my finger across the wall, dried blood and dirt stuck to my gauntlet. "Tell me about it handsome, stupid fuckers don't bring their cleaning crew with them for their jobs and most of the work they do is battlefield scavenging. So fucking unsanitary I swear. But don't worry it will be clean before we take off."

Making our way to the front of the ship, the dirtiness levels did decrease. 'Still it shocks me how my lovely underground bug brides manage to keep the dirt around them cleaner than this ship.'

Kathrine and I kept walking until we arrived at a room not to far from the bridge. Kathrine proceeded to pull out a key from her pocket and unlock the door in front of her. "My room is not to be touched by these... ugh never mind come on."

The room I entered was a stark contrast to the rest of the ship. Although much slimmer than a room that a noble should have, I assumed it was still the largest single room on board. The room was decorated fully with from just a glance, I could tell were extremely expensive. A couch, which Kathrine already planted herself upon, opposite that her desk and workspace.

Further along the room a bed and bathroom were visible and a wardrobe that appeared to be the same size as the rest of the room combined.

'Women.'

"Now handsome, as intimidating as you look wearing that piece of tech, could you please remove it for the sanity of those onboard. People don't like being reminded a walking weapon is next to them."

I assumed Kathrine meant herself, but I agreed to her request. "Sure thing, I only put it on because I don't like snow. Its cold and wet, and get stuck to your clothes." Making use of her excessive wardrobe, I commanded my armour to fully leave my body and resume standing. I assumed she would be freaked out at it melding into my arm at the moment.

Now unarmoured, Kathrine leaned her head back on the couch and took in my form like a judge. "Well now that you are out of that armour maybe-" Kathrine started making chiming sounds from her left breast. "Oh for fuck sake now what?" Kathrine looked at her communicator angrily followed by nervousness as she subtly glanced in my direction. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Handsome I'm sorry to do this, but this communication is very important do you mind? Maybe just explore the ship a little?" Kathrine requested with pleading eyes. I had no objections to the request so I just left her to her own devices.

After the door behind me shut, Kathrine got up placed her communicator on desk. After brushing her hair back with her hand and catching any strays quickly, she answered. "Oh hello my darling girl how are you today?"

Hailey looked icily at her aunt. "You have been dodging my calls when I specifically told you I wanted updates daily aunty. You better have a good reason." Kathrine smiled radiating confidence in front of her niece. "Oh my darling, darling girl. I have more than just a good excuse. After our communication, I went to your husbands establishment for the day."

"He's not my husband!" Hailey screamed out louder than she meant to. Her icy look melted away by embarrassment. Kathrine smiled at her small victory before continuing. "Yes-yes dear whatever you say. Anyway I went over to his establishment for a day of partying and drinking." "Hold it!" Hailey interrupted again. "Is this his ex's club?

I could not dig up much more on the whore, she keeps her house tidy."

Kathrine rolled her eyes. "Yes dear, now as I was saying. The drinking went on and on all day. You know how well this piece of ass can hold her drink, but your sweetums went toe to toe with me easily."

Hailey ignored her aunts teasing and focused on writing every single detail down. "A lot of drinks later, I may have accidentally told him about my family's enhanced physiques, but he must of felt sorry for my hot ass and decided to tell me one of his secrets."

Kathrine paused for added drama, which worked a treat as Hailey looked up from her writing in suspense. "Aunty if you don't tell me in the next five seconds, I will kick your ass the next time I see you."

Kathrine let out a laugh while covering her mouth, It felt good to sabotage her nieces powerplay from earlier in the call. " When your future lover awakened his psionic powers, he awakened three at once."

Hailey dropped the pencil from her hand. Her face became cold once more. However, her body was bouncing up and down on her chair from the excitement she felt coursing through her body.

She was right! She knew the man was special! She had awoken with two and had to train at the college to awaken a third. Already a phenomenal talent in the eyes of Spartari, But this Arcon from so far away was already stronger than her Psionically? It was like a tale from the founding stories.

"I-Is that so? Fascinating. What else can you tell me aunty?" Kathrine could read every emotion on Hailey's face now, but she decided to let her sweetheart have some face left. "Yes truly fascinating. He would not tell me all of his powers sadly, but he did show me his telekinesis. Even as drunk as he was, he managed to fly a bottle from across the room with no swaying or lapse of concentration.

In fact it seemed as easy as breathing to him."

Hailey's body began vibrating up and down in excitement again. 'We share an ability!' "Truly wonderful work Auntie. I cannot possibly imagine what else you acquired from him that evening?"

"Oh not much else that night sweetheart. We both had a hit of Takot and proceeded to dance for a while. I then offered him a job on a mission I am currently undertaking to a non spartari system. It will be two weeks there and a week of traveling back and forth I will be getting plenty of information on him during this time don't you worry."

Hailey was silent a moment before she questioned. "He is onboard a ship with you... right now?" "Yes my darling why do you ask?" "Oh no reason, you have done exceptionally aunty, I will forgive your tardiness on these updates. Now tell me about this mission of yours..."

Walking around the ship, I decided to follow the paths of least dirty. The corridors were not maze like and the only things not dirty were the signs so I knew exactly where I was ending up.

As I entered the mess hall, the silence of the ship I had been traveling on was suddenly invaded by loud screaming and cheering. "Yeaaaah! Break his Fucking arm off!" "Don't get on your stomach you dumb twat! Stand up and fight!"

On the adjacent room of the mess hall filled with recreational devices, a crowd gathered around two men almost the same height as me. The pair of them looked identical and both were built like brick shit houses. The man on his stomach got up while dealing a low blow to what I believe his brother. As the man grasped his manhood, the man on the floor sprang up and knocked out the man.

Boos and cheers were spread around the mercenaries while cred cards were passed between certain individuals.

I must have been enthralled by the spectacle and got too close because a rough looking man to the side of me shouted out, cutting though all the noise. "Fucking hell! This cunt is prettier than most of the fannies we have on board."

In unison, every man and woman who was surrounding the two identical giants, turned and faced me. "Ah fuck off willy! I am way hotter." A woman wearing a helmet said causing a commotion of laughs. " If you say so fanny fart, but until you take off that helm, shut it!"

Willy turned his attention back to me at the wrong time. "So cun- Oh fuck off!" Willy exclaimed as a mettle bin was thrown at his head. "Ah bitch." he muttered feeling the cut on his head. "Anyway, so cunt, who the fuck is you?"

'Does this guy have Tourette's or something? jeez..' I was not really offended more baffled, but before I could reply a jovial voice introduced me instead, causing all the mercenaries in front of me to stand at attention.

"This, woah he is hot, This purple haired ball of mystery is Lady Kathrine's personal hire for this mission." The man from outside said, getting overly chummy by placing both his hands on my shoulders. "Treat him as you would me and I wont have to kick your arses. Clear?"

There was murmuring from the group before someone at the back of the pack shouted. "So I'm supposed to piss in his shampoo when he's not looking?" A cacophony of laughter enveloped the mess hall and a single thought entered my mind.

"I'm going to be trapped in space with these hooligans..."
