"Tessa, we will be arriving at the Felidae Galaxy jump gate in a few minutes," Captain Andria said as she entered Tessa's quarters.
Since she was acting as Tessa Terrana, 1st Princess of the Terran Empire, Tessa was given her own cabin that was far larger than the one she normally shared with Becky when she was Lieutenant Tessa Kirkmeld.
"Thank you, cousin," Tessa replied with a smile.
"I must admit, it's strange seeing you with your natural hair and eye colour, as well as out of uniform onboard the ship," Andria said with a smirk.
"It's strange not having to address you as captain every time we speak in front of the other crew," Tessa replied with her own smirk.
"We have received word from our people on Felinia Seven that Diva Lorelie's party arrived there a few hours ago."
"I see, thank you."

Adam returned a few minutes later carrying a tray that had a bottle of God's Oasis, several glasses and a bowl of cereal.
"Here you go," Adam said as he set the tray down on the table in the middle of all the couches before grabbing the bowl of cereal and going to sit on one of the couches, before taking a mouthful of cereal.
"God's Oasis?" Aphrodite said in surprise and excitement.
"You know you shouldn't drink any when you're still recovering, right?" Lorelie asked with concern while pouring a drink for everyone else.
"I know, it's for you all to share since Rowena's friend is over for a visit," Adam replied before taking another bite of cereal.
"How considerate of you," Aphrodite said as she accepted the glass of God's Oasis that Lorelie offered her.
"So, Adam, Sinead Quintana asked me to pass a message on to you. She wants to do an interview with you," Erkath said.
"Not interested," Adam replied almost instantly before taking another mouthful of cereal.
"Told you," Rowena smirked.
"Why does she want to interview Adam?" Lorelie asked curiously.
"Aparently she's been trying to find him and his stream since he first saved you from those pirates Drotas Entertainment hired.
I guess that she originally wanted to be the one to discover and reveal Adam's identity. However, that's pretty much blown since his name was revealed on The MMM Show, though most people still don't know what he looks like.
Along with being the first to release a verified photo of him, I expect she wants to interview him about his relationship with you and his ship." Erkath replied.
"I see," Lorelie said in understanding.
"Adam, what did you mean when you said that my sex movies do not have this style of clothing in mind?" Aphrodite asked curiously as she continued to observe the man.
Adam finished eating his mouthful of cereal before answering, "To put it simply, your sex movies are designed to make the viewer horny as quickly as possible so they can stop watching and knock one out."
"Knock one out?" Aphrodite asked after hearing the strange term.
"It's another term for masturbation."
"Oh, I see," Aphrodite replied before asking, "then why do you think that?"
"Because they are almost all virtual videos that are designed to give the viewer the impression that they are the one who's having sex with you, unfortunately, it's done wrong."
"Done wrong?" Aphrodite asked in surprise.
"Are you sure you should be revealing this, babe? You have a business agreement with Jessie regarding this, remember." Stacey warned.
"I know, babe, I wasn't planning on revealing any more," Adam said to Stacey with a smile before turning back to Aphrodite and saying, "If you want to know more, I'm afraid you will have to negotiate with Jessie about becoming one of her actors."
"Who is Jessie?"
"YAWN!" Adam suddenly yawned, surprising Aphrodite as no man had ever yawned in front of her before.
"My apologies, it seems that my body is still suffering from blood loss, and I need to rest more. If you want to know about Jessie, ask Stacey as she knows all about her, "Adam said before standing and heading back to the master bedroom while saying, "Excuse me, ladies."
"R…right," Aphrodite said as her surprise kept growing. Adam had not only been unaffected by her pheromones, but he had yawned in front of her and even left first. It was normally she who left first, with men begging her to stay with them a little longer.
"Haha, look at your face," Rowena laughed before giving her signature smirk as she said, "I told you he wouldn't be easy."
"Excuse me? I wasn't even trying to seduce him or anything, I was just casually asking him questions relating to my work," Aphrodite said defensively, then said in a tone of clear interest, "I won't deny I was surprised, though. He's an interesting man. I wonder how he's resisting my pheromones?"
" Pheromones?" Stacey asked suspiciously as Lorelie's eyes also showed suspicion.
"Calm down, you two, she's not releasing them on purpose," Rowena said before explaining, "Succuba naturally release pheromones from their bodies, and while older and more experienced members of their race, like Aphrodite here, can control the amount being released to a certain extent, they can't stop their release completely.
"I'm sure both of you have noticed how your bodies are almost instinctively attracted to Aphrodite and that you're having to keep them in check. Well, that's the effect her pheromones are having on you. Be thankful that she is limiting their release, as I doubt any of us, myself included, could resist pouncing on her if she stopped limiting them."
"Want to test it out and see?" Aphrodite asked with a smirk.
"NO!" The three other women in the room all said at once.
"Booo, so boring," Aphrodite said as her smirk remained.
"Indeed, that would have been quite entertaining to watch," Erkath said with a smile.
"How about we test it out next time we're all together, then?" Aphrodite suggested.
"I think I will pass on that generous offer, I don't think my husband would appreciate it," Erkath quickly replied before saying, "Maybe it was because of his blood loss that he wasn't affected."
"Maybe, but I doubt it," Aphrodite replied thoughtfully before adding with a smirk, "After all, my pheromones affect Brood, and they're always suffering from blood loss."
"Excuse me?" Rowena asked in protest, to which Aphrodite just winked at her before turning to Stacey and asking.
"So, Stacey, care to tell me who this Jessie is and what kind of deal Adam made with her?"
"Jessie is the leader of the eighty-sixers gang on Trillion. Adam made a deal with her when we were there.
"For a certain percentage of all the profits, Adam told Jessie how to improve the sex videos they provide by making them more like his home planet's porn industry."
There's that word again, porn. What is it?" Aphrodite asked.
"From what I can gather, the porn industry from Adam's homeworld is sex videos, mostly with a few other aspects, though they don't have VR, so they are just normal videos.
If you did the same job on his homeworld, you would be given this porn star title."
"Hang on, how is he able to enhance our sex video industry when his home world doesn't even have VR to make it more realistic?" Aphrodite asked in a doubtful tone as the other women listened curiously, as this was the first time they were hearing about this.
"As Adam already said, if you want to know that, you will have to negotiate a deal with Jessie," Stacey said with a smirk.
"Hmm," Aphrodite hummed as she thought for a moment before looking at her old friend and asking, "Do you know anything about this or believe he has the ability to change the sex video industry, Rowena?"
"I don't, this happened before I reunited with Stacey," Rowena replied before thinking for a few moments, after which she continued, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even consider the idea. However, Adam's homeworld seems to have many strange and innovative ideas. Just look at the clothing Erkath just showed us.
There is also the fact that his ship makes no sense. Why would a ship that is clearly far more advanced than most of the known universe be on a backwater planet no one has ever heard of?
Everything about that boy is an enigma, so I'm not willing to say that he doesn't have the ability."
"It seems I'm not the only one who is interested in him," Aphrodite said with a smirk.
"You're not wrong when you say he's interesting, I mean, even The Demon King wants to meet him," Rowena replied.
"Seriously?" Aphrodite asked as her head snapped to look at Erkath's holographic screen.
"Indeed, though I don't know the reason myself," Erkath replied.
"Alright, I'm intrigued, please let me speak with this, Jessie," Aphrodite said to Stacey.
"I will try giving her a call," Stacey said before accessing her uniband for a few moments, after which a second holographic screen appeared next to Erkath's again, showing a dark room.
"Ugh, who the fuck is calling me at three in the morning?" A drowsy voice complained as the woman saw a man with messy hair suddenly appear above some sheets, followed by an attractive woman who was in her nightwear, before she asked in an annoyed tone, "What!?"
