 Inspector Chalmers had two more days left in the wormhole with the
SuperShip.  It had been a long, boring voyage.  If not for the fact that
that he had Maria's journals to work on, he simply would have read about
ten books.  But the journal's kept him interested and intent.  He was
learning the story of the girl prior to meeting her for the first time on
Rossak, and it was fascinating.  She was gifted with an enormous sexual
appetite, which, he was pretty sure, was not a result of the rape in her
teens.  He felt that it had always been there, and the rape simply awakened
it.  He leaned forward in his chair and opened the fourth and final
document for this trip.

   "Well, I have detailed two of my matings.  Now, as I said, after a
successful impregnation and delivery, a girl was given four weeks to
recover.  Not all matings resulted in impregnation.  And the four weeks off
was a standard rule whether the girl had a surgical removal or the
pregnancy was carried to term.  "Now, things got pretty boring during the
four week break.  We could wander the compound with the exception of the
off limits areas.  Alderaan had an extensive library of books, videos, and
music, and the compound was, in general, quite lovely.  Swimming and
exercise were encouraged, as we were engaged in quite strenuous activities.
This was definitely an occupation for young girls.

   "Now, you have to understand that, at times, things could get, and did
get, a bit touchy.  Here were young women, primarily in service of sex and
pregnancy, pampered and kept beautiful by servants.  The only clothing that
was worn was the nipple jewelry and the tiny silks, which basically covered
nothing.  We were prancing around the compound all the time like this.  I
really got to like it.

   "Alderaan, on occasion, would have a girl join him for a meal, and if
she was a good dancer, he would have her dance.  There were always business
associates of Alderaan's at these long, social dinners.  And here was a
girl, wearing next to nothing, sitting in a company of men.  I think
Alderaan liked to show his girls off, and he also presented them as the
prospective breeder for a potential customer.

   "Some of the girls would participate in lesbian activities.  After all,
none of us had had a man in ages.  Alderaan permitted this.  None of us
used toys.  There was no rule against it, it just seemed as though none of
us ever wanted a toy after the sexual encounters with the creatures.  I,
myself, participated in a few during my four-week rest period, enjoying
them immensely.  I think it was the tenderness of being with another woman
that I liked.

   "Some of the girls would sneak off and have sex with various cyborgs who
would show up at the compound.  Now, Ivana ran this racket, and it was
prostitution, pure and simple.  Ivana was the pimp.  We were all well paid
by Alderaan, but none of us saw the money until we were released from his
service.  Ivana would hook us up with a cyborg, take fifty percent, keep
watch, and protect us.  We got the other fifty percent when the cyborg was
done.  We never knew whether Ivana was cheating us or not unless the cyborg
told us how much he had paid.  Alderaan forbade this, and, had he found out
about it, he would have had Ivana killed.  This was to be my method of
escape.

   Inspector Chalmers took a deep breath and went to get some water.  This
part he would give his utmost attention.  He was very curious as how Maria
had gotten to Rossak and managed to establish herself on the planet.

   "Now, I had, by this time, serviced some cyborgs during my break.  Some
of the girls used the cash to buy things and have those items smuggled into
the compound.  This was very expensive.  But we got paid a lot, because
most of us were very sexual.  I didn't spend any of my money.  I kept it. I
was going to use it to bribe someone to escape.

   "There was a cyborg that occasionally came into the compound on
business. He had a mechanical left leg, a mechanical left arm, and a
cyborged left eye.  My understanding was the eye was needed for his work.
He piloted a small frigate, and smuggled some things in and out of various
places for Alderaan.  He also had a cyborged penis.

   "I had sex with him right after my second mating.  He liked me.  He told
me that I was the wildest woman he had ever been with.  I became his
favorite, and whenever he was in the compound and I was available, he would
request me.  Sometimes I made myself available.  Ivana knew what was going
on, and I think she was cheating me on how much she was charging.  But the
pilot always gave me a generous tip.

   "One afternoon, after a bit of sex play, I told him how much I wanted to
leave.  He was curious as to why.  He knew we were living in luxury and
were well paid.  I told him that I was tired of having sex with the same
creatures over and over, which was an outright lie.  I told him I wanted to
explore, and have sex with a wide variety of mutants, cyborgs, and
creatures instead of the same old critter that Alderaan had me mate.

   "The pilot did not believe me initially.  But he became more and more
curious as to why I wanted to leave, and I think he really was part of a
plot to destroy, or at least weaken, Alderaan.  I also believe Ivana was
part of the plot, but for reasons of her own.  She wanted to increase her
standing in the eyes of Alderaan, and I think she had a scheme going to
destroy this pilot.  Although I did not know it, these two plots would work
toward my advantage.

   The Inspector stood up and stretched.  Maria did not know that Ivana was
running a smuggling operation in a remote sector, in league with the pilot.
Inspector Chalmers knew who the pilot was; his frigate, loaded with
contraband, had been on the Inspector's SuperShips twice.  As usual, Maria
was trying to protect the identity of the pilot.

   "Well, to make a long story short, the pilot, after an intense sex
session, agreed to help me.  He wanted all of my money, and told me he
would take me to Rossak.  I told him I could only afford to give him half.
He agreed, but I would be required to have sex with whomever and whatever
he had on the frigate, including him, for free and as often as they wanted.
I agreed.

   "Now, the plan was that I would be drugged, kidnapped, and smuggled out
with a shipment of apes during my next recovery period.  That way, I could
keep the apes happy in transit.  What the pilot did not know was that Ivana
had betrayed him.  She was going to have the ship seized before it left,
search it, find me, and turn the pilot over to Alderaan.  Alderaan would
confiscate the frigate, the pilot would be killed, I would probably be
killed, and Ivana would look wonderful in Alderaan's eyes.  But it didn't
quite work that way.

   "I was drugged and kidnapped, and put on board the frigate with the
apes. But there was a change of venue.  Another frigate, in line ahead of
us to depart, had a navigational computer failure.  Our time was moved
ahead, and the pilot took advantage of this.  We left early.  When Ivana
arrived at the port, we were already gone.  I think she did some
fast-talking to cover herself with Alderaan, but, at any rate, her little
betrayal had failed.

   "Well, we hooked into the SuperShip and settled in for our journey to
Rossak.  The pilot had some legitimate items to deliver there, and I would
be smuggled out at the port.  In the interim, I had sex with the pilot
three times and once with the apes.  All in all, it was a very hedonistic
trip.

   "We put in at the port in Rossak and I was given some clothing and set
free.  I still had some of my money.  Now, the port is at the south pole of
the planet, very far away from civilization, and was pretty wild.  Rossak
has pretty strict rules governing the sex trade, but they were basically
winked at where the star port was concerned.

   "I got a job dancing at a pub in the port, topless, because that was the
government regulation, and I would service a few mutants every now and
then. That paid very well, and I always enjoyed working a job that paid
well and gave me a great deal of pleasure.  I did not go overboard; I did
not want to draw attention to myself.  I had figured, correctly, that
Alderaan was actively looking for me.  I did not touch the money he had
invested for me.  That would have led him directly to me.

   "I decided to stay at the star port to see what would happen.  I was
safe there, and Alderaan would not violate any treaty conventions to get me
back.  I had a small but cozy apartment, a steady income, and was hiding my
money in a TransStar account quite well.  What would happen next was a
private dancing session at a mansion and a meeting with Inspector Chalmers
and Dr.  Hamlyn, which would lead to my complete freedom and the serious
weakening of Alderaan.

   Inspector Chalmers took a break.  He would proof and edit this article
after a cup of tea and then go to bed.  He knew well the story of
Alderaan's downfall; he had played a major part of it along with Maria.  He
wanted to see that story from Maria's point of view.  But that would have
to wait until the next set of documents arrived from TransStar.
