"yes, my love.  I have docked us to the tanker, and they are waiting for you, the Captain to open the door.  Here is you suit.  I tied it tighter, so it won't flop.  Hopefully they'll have clothes to fit you.  By the way..Thank you, for wanting me, for making me feel wonderful, for doing all the things I want. I don't have any fantasies anymore...Because you are all of them."<br/>He held her hand as she stood, then rolled unsteadily to his own feet.  They dressed, and went to the lock.<br/>He stood just behind and to here right. Blaster hanging just in case.<br/>When she opened the lock, the  Captain of the tanker was there with a guard smiling.<br/>He held out his hand to her.  "Pilot Montoya, It's a pleasure.  Those scum killed my nephew after only one week in the service.  This is a bit of payment back.  I pulled some strings.  The fuel is free, and we can escort you with two destroyers up to the neutral zone.  Please come aboard and pick out some clothes.  I'd love to entertain you two in the officers quarters in an hour.  Or do you need more time to freshen up?  We have good hot showers too, and I know you've been stuck on that xanthi ship... My men can install an instant shower and I can spare a full bed for you if that helps.  Well, my ensign will show you your temporary quarters.  A young lady Ensign smiled and saluted them, then led them to quarters.
