    Seth said sitting in one of them to demonstrate. The seat moved around him, fitting itself to his body. “Back, Sugar.” “Yes, Sethaliel,” the disembodied female voice purred sexily. Lucien smirked and watched the seat lower Seth back until he told it to stop. After a few more directives his feet went up and then down until he was finally sitting upright again. Each seat had interface ability with the craft and other passengers. It even had a canopied hood that slid down from the overhead cabin and gave any passenger the holographic experience of his or her choice. Lucien tried a few out. He set himself at a beach, complete with a setting sun and tropical palms swaying in the warm breeze off a foaming ocean. He joined Seth in a verdant forest, where they both ran naked, laughing, until they took a plunge off a high cliff into a river of foaming jade. It was exhilarating. Lucien stood, his heart still beating from the holographic experience. “I’m beginning to like this bucket of bolts,” He admitted with a grin aimed at Seth. The weretigri nodded.

Now…how fast can this thing go?” “It should take us just two days to get to Earth, and that includes a stop for replenishing supplies. We’re going to use our combined powers at least until we get to Crimbregeere Six. We’ll spend the night there. Afterwards, we’ll head out to the Edenian Solar system and Earth.” Lucien nodded. “And how will we avoid being recognized?” Seth stuck his hands in the pockets of his black Alpha Angels uniform. “I accessed, with the help of a few good contacts, the universal data base and…” he grinned then, “I kind-of tweaked our images. By the time anyone figures it out, we should have found out what we need to know.” His smile vanished, his gaze became intense as he just looked into Lucien’s eyes. Earth.
