"They are to be collected unharmed." Niolani ordered.

"Be careful of the man." Niolani said, "He isn't one our men.", she continued, "He will fight if pressed."

"We will take him alive and intact." Guard captain Kaylessa said.

"It's important, women, "Niolani said."They are both specialists. And the Empire has need of them."

"Good Luck." she finished.

'Atten-tion!" snapped Kayleesa.

The dozen members of Niolani's Red Guard snapped to attention.

They were so named for their scarlet uniforms. From their lobster tail hemets, down through their moulded breastplates and mail skirts to their knee high Space Lizard boots, they were covered in 255 Red.

The only breaks were decorations over the left breast, a name plate on the right, and an elliptcal cleavage port between their breasts.

Only Kaleesa's attire differed from the others in that she had a high space boar bristle brush of a Centurione's crest.

Today they carried prods. They were basically flat bladed spears that carried an electrical charge.

Kayleesa packed a tranquilizer dart gun and a pair of sleep gas grenades.

But she hoped simply to explain it to them.

The Empire did need their skills. Imperial skill at porting between planets was phenomenal.

The sturdy women of the Imperial Armies quickly subdued their targets with a minimum of blood.

On most male dominated planets the males instinctively knew the superiority of female rule. They tended to fight half heartedly and surrender when confronted with the black latex clad Imperial Infrantry Woman.

In space it was different. An alien force that Niolani's people only knew as "bugs" had been destroying their limited space assets.

They had landed an ivasion force on Opsotitl 6.

It was Niolani's duty to see that this stopped. She had once met some space faring Earthlings.

She smiled at the thought of their men being forced to do honest work. To be fair most of them were pretty hardened to it. Save for that wrinkled suck up Doctor Smith.

He would have been useless at labor and was a greasy sneak, so Niolani used him as sort of a jester.

She much prefered watching the Professor's, the Major's, and the young man's muscles flex and grow to hearing the innane cackling of Doctor Smith.

She never told them that their damaged spacecraft was the most advanced Nolani had ever seen.

While the Robinson party had alternatley toiled , fluttered around her, or got their first lessons in Female Superiority, Niolani's technicians had been over the Jupier II.

They had learned much, but were five years from a working ship.

And the Empire was under attack now.

She would offer them anything reasonble, but would have their help one way or another.

Niolani's guards held attention while Kayleesa worked the Teleport Control.

There was a wavering high tone, then a vapor clouded pop as they were shifted across the galaxy.

Kaylessa shivered. Teleporting made her nipples tingle.

She took a quick inventory. The girls had arrived complete and intact.

She had appeared a short distance from the spacecraft.

Knowing that their quarry were having sex meant it would have been safe to appear in sight.

But Kayleesa was a veteran, and better safe than sorry.

More than once Imperial forces had popped right into a crossfire.

She marched the girls quitly up to the camp, then stepped into view.

She had to admit, the Robinson bull was quite a man.

He didn't look like he got enough sun. But the toned muscles and good looks were there.

She cleared her throat.

Professor Robinson turned at the sound of another female voice.

He stopped.

Maureen opened her eyes and asked 'What?"

"We have company."

"A million light years into space and they still hit our sex interval" Maureen said

Professor and doctor sat up.

They were comfortable naked and it was too late for modesty.

Kayleesa spoke. 'I beg your pardon Professor, Doctor. I am Kayleesa."

"Well, the professor asked. "what can we do for you?"

"Mistress Niolani needs your help." she said.

"Fifty meters of ditch?" the professor asked.

Kayleesa smiled."No sir. The Empire is in danger. Niolani needs you."
