WEAPONS PRACTICE

Jack sat at his desk answering questions on his terminal as the ensign entered them on hers. All she had to do was check a question sending it to Jack's terminal who then read and answered it verbally.  Then the Ensign simply checked right or wrong and correct
ed him if it was wrong, which didn't happen very often. It allowed her to ask several questions a minute unless the answer was very involved.  After a good hour the ensign finally took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes at Jack.

"Ok ass hole answer it correctly or suffer
the consequences.”

"But I already am an
officer and piloting a starship.  This is a waste of time. Besides so what if I don't pass all the pretests now. I have plenty of time later to take my time and enjoy the classes instead of cramming. Especially the ones I haven’t taken before which is most of the ones that are left."

"Sorry
, the Captain does not see it that way. She wants you legally commissioned as soon as possible. Now answer the question correctly or suffer the consequences. "

Jack smiled at her and answered and she drew her pistol and shot him in the arm after she turned down the power with her thumb.
"Godstar. That felt so frigging good."

Jack yelped as he reached for his arm with his other hand.  "What the hell was that for?
It didn't feel good to me."

"
Good. That was for pissing me off. I told you that I would make you pay for a shit ass answer. Now answer the question if you can or I will shoot you again. Believe me, I have been wanting to shoot you for years and I will do it again."

Jack looked at his numb arm as he tried to move it.
Finally flopping it up on his lap.  "You little butt hole." Getting a baffled look on his face. "Why the hell would you have been wanting to shoot me for years? We just met a week ago." Shrugging his shoulders he smiled. "I am going to get even with you for this you know."

"Good
. Now answer the question. And if you can't remember me, then I sure as hell aren’t going to remind you. Now answer the question."

Jack looked at her then frowned as he looked down at his arm. "I can't. I don't have a clue."

"Glory hallelooya! There is a god after all." She asked him another 20 questions then sat back pleased with herself. "Now that I know what you don't know. I can show you what you need to read so you will know without all the other crap." She started hitting the terminal pad. "Start reading while I line the rest up. I can quiz you about it before we go to bed." She smiled back over her shoulder at Jack.  "You will be ready for the test tomorrow easily."

Jack walked into the
Officers mess with the Ensign behind him. The ship was making a long run and had its maximum complement of 300 crewmen. Most had never seen each other before the assignment only hours before launch. He was starting to get used to her using him as cover to hide behind. Beside it made it easier for him not to look at her breasts as well. While most of the enlisted men seemed to go out of their way not to stare at the Ensign. Some Officers felt no compunction not to look and stare and comment in the busy officers’ mess. The senior officers were taking dinner with the Captain in the wardroom.

The
Officer's dinner mess called for the officers to sit properly and wait for their dinners to be delivered to them. After finding an empty table for 4 (the smallest in the Officers mess) they sat down and talked as they waited. Mostly about the lesson Jack was studying. Then a couple of Lieutenants sat down smiling at the Ensign while giving Jack a cursory glance.

"You are looking very well tonight E
nsign." Said the one on the right seated next to her as he kept looking down at her breasts.

The l
ieutenant across from her next to Jack smiled. "I hear you have been assigned Navigator on the Captain's watch. Isn't that a full lieutenant's post?"

Jack smiled at the lieutenant. "She should make lieutenant by the end of the week."

"If I wanted to see your mouth flap JG. I would have asked you. Why don't you go and bug someone of your own rank at another table? This little lady is busy."

Jack turned to the Ensign. "Are you busy tonight Ensign?" Four dinner
plates were placed on the table before them.

The Lieutenant raised his hand waving his finger in front of Jack to get his attention.
"I said to shut your trap JG and leave. I did not tell you to talk to the young lady. Yes she is busy. She is going back to my cabin to discuss some very important Navy business concerning those beautiful mountains so get lost. Now! That is an order."

Jack started turning red as his jaw tightened up and he balled his fists. Turning his chair to get up he
started to reached across the table for the lieutenant. The Ensign reached out with her left arm and pulled Jack back into his seat. She raised her right hand with the pistol in it and fired directly into the lieutenant's chest. He collapsed slumping strait down. His face falling into his dinner plate with a thump splashing food out over his perfect white uniform and the table.

Turning to the other Lieutenant she smiled. "Now do you want to take these boobs back to your cabin?" She smiled from ear to ear
as she pushed them forward closer to him as she leaned over the table.

The lieutenant looked from his
buddy to the Ensigns boobs and back again and then looked into her eyes as his mouth started moving without saying anything  as his gaze dropped down to her boobs again with his lips still moving, his eyes as big as gulf balls.

"
Aaank wrong answer." She pulled the trigger and the lieutenant slumped down into his seat getting a face full of food.

Turning in her chair s
he got up with her full plate. Everyone in the mess stared at them frozen. "Come on Turner. I don't like the company at this table."  Picking up her plate she turned and sat down at the table behind them with a female lieutenant sitting at it.  Jack sat down next to her as he continued to glance over his shoulder at the two lieutenants still out cold. 

The female
Lieutenant looked down at her plate then up at the Ensign and said. “Where do I get one of those?"

The Ensign just smiled at her. Then turned to
Jack and continued the lessons without even a glance over her shoulder. Later she walked over to get a desert and another guy dropped to the deck out cold. 

A few minutes later the Master at arms Chief came down from the
ward room. "Ok children what happened here?" As he looked at the two lieutenants just starting to recover.

The Female Lieutenant sitting next to the Ensign stood up. "Well Chief. Those guys just simply dropped where they sat. I think they got a little excited while they were talking about screwing each other. If you ask me
it was shameful but it is not mine to judge."

The Chief looked around and noticed the guy laying on the deck in the corner by the desert table. "And I take it that guy just got excited about the deserts?"

"Well sir. I have heard that a few officers have some wild fetishes." She smiled down at the Ensign trying to suppress a laugh. "He did seam awfully excited to hear about the new donuts with the extra small holes."

The Chief
looked at the Ensign and did a double take at her boobs.  His eyes getting rather large for a few seconds before looking around the compartment. He walked over and checked the two lieutenants again and then turned to an ensign a few tables away. "What did you see Ensign?"

"Just a couple of big mouthed idiot pricks
making inappropriate plans falling over each other sir."

Turning back to the lieutenant still standing at her table he spotted the weapon at the Ensigns hip. Walking up to her he held out his hand. "Do you have
authorization to carry a weapon aboard ship Ensign? You are not part of my security teams."

The Ensign took another bite of her desert then reached into her bra exposing
quite a bit more and held a card up for the Chief to see. "With everyone on the crew new. It is understandable you don't know me. Signed by the Captain, Chief. "

The Chief ripped his gaze away from
the big valley between her breasts and looked at the card. Then back at her breasts. Then back at the card and moved the card so he could see her cleavage as if he was reading the card though he was still looking down her bra.

"Chief!
Now it is one thing when pricks make rude comments and indecent proposals concerning illegal orders, as well as the use foul language referring to my extended attributes, but it is also against regulations to use your authority to ogle those same private attributes." The Ensign turned placing her attributes directly below his nose so he would have to look down with her eyes locking onto his and a hand on the butt of her weapon. "Do I need to show you how proficient I am? I could use some more target practice tonight sir."

The Chief slowly handed her the card without looking away from her cold eye
s then turned and left the mess. The female lieutenant sat back down with a smile on her face and everyone returned to eating as if nothing had happened.  Except for the two Lieutenants who were starting to wake up and smearing their dinners all over their heads and uniforms. A medical team showed up a few minutes later but simply checked the saps for vital signs and that no food blocked their airways.

The Ensign finished her banana split
and this time led Jack out of the officers’ mess with her head held high and smiling from ear to ear.

SUDDEN DEADLY DETOUR

 

The Captain came onto the bridge with Jack and the Ensign already sitting at their posts. The rest of the bridge relief's slowly trickling in as the Ensign talked to one of the outgoing females.

"That was so cool last night at mess." Said the female Lieutenant
. "Someone should have done that a long time ago with those jackasses."

The Captain could not quiet hear what the Ensign was saying as she answered the young woman.
She had heard of what had happened and was trying to make up her mind if she should take official notice or not. The officers in the incident had not filed a complaint so far, telling her that the Ensign was probably justified but she did not want her going rouge on the ship.

Jack looked over at the Ensign and then
up through the deck and then back at the Ensign still talking. "Are you going to do something pretty soon?"

"No. I think I did quite enough last night."

"Last night? No." Jack pointed up and then at the forward enhanced view screen. "Are you going to do something about that before we hit it?"

The Ensign looked
up through the deck and then at the screen as did the Captain but the Captain could not see anything in the screen let alone up through the overhead. Looking over to the sensor screen the Captain saw nothing ahead on it as well.

"Damn it." Jack reached across to the navigator's board and punched in a new
course one handed. His hand flying over the console for a few seconds simply punching in a course without using the computer to calculate anything and hit enter.  The course line made a radical sudden steep turn to Starboard into a climb with the main engines thrust going to 120% and around something big ahead that the Captain could not see out the sensor screens.

"What are you doing Jack?"
The Ensign said. "There is nothing there." She pointed at the view screen and then at the sensor screens. "What are you doing?" She started typing in a return course back to the original line of travel only to have Jack slap her hands away.

"No!" Jack fr
owned. "You can't see that?" He pointed up to the side as the fleet strained through its steep turn to go up and around whatever was out there. The deck coils winning to keep up. "Godstar Woman! You have to see that." Jack had spent years with his eyes looking out of the bridge ports watching wonders pass the ship few seamed to even notice let alone appreciate. He just figured the marvels were old lawn ornaments to them with everyone else on the bridge many years his senior and never gave it a second thought. Another reason he was picked on as much time as he stared in wonder out the damn ports at nothing. Especially if it was not out the ports.

"See what." She
looked to the side around Jack in the direction the ship was now traveling as its engines were hard at work at 1200 Gees thrusting them to the side of and changing the fleet’s course. The Ensign started to type a return course and this time Jack simply reached across and placed his hand over hers keeping her from typing while he worked the controls with his other hand to follow the course he had set.

The Ensign stopped typing since she had no choice
as she looked up at Jack bighting her lip and then suddenly past Jack to the side at something and froze as her expression changed to terror. "Shit all mighty. What the hell is that?" Trying to say more, her mouth dropped open for a few seconds and then she licked her lips and continued to stare frozen in place.
