Heir to an Empire/the next day
I get back to my quarters and Vlex is passed out, so I head to bed.
The next day I am awoken to Vlex shacking me "I am sorry, Jason, buddy. I was going to let you sleep but it is getting late in the morning and I must talk to you". I wave him off "I'm awake, I'm awake what's up, Vlex". He sits on his bed "I want to apologize about yesterday, I should not have let myself lose control like that". I tell him the truth "you have nothing to apologize for, Vlex. No one else could possibly know what we are going through right now. We've basically traveled backwards in time, no ones ever done that before, not that I know of, the two of us now have to live with the theoretical laws of time travel". He gives me a confused look an says "laws of time travel? what laws of time travel?" I give him the same confused look that he gave me "You know like in science fiction" he give me that same confused look again "fake science, what are you talking about?" I sigh "it's a type of literature on my world, usually taking place in the future but not necessarily, but always involving technology that doesn't exist yet. Time travel is a popular theme, many great stories involve or revolve around it. Yesterdays science fiction is definitely todays science fact, I'm surprised you Dactrons haven't at least theorized about time travel yet" Scratching his temple he says "I never really thought about it before, what are these time travel rules?" I tell him what I know "basically its the butterfly effect, I know you don't know what that means but its basically saying the smallest thing you change in the past can create drastic differences in the present or future. This affects you more then me, If you meet with your family now this could cause you to never meet your wife" his eyes go wide "I'm not saying that would happen, it's just an example". Vlex nods and says I must clear my mind and meditate on this". I ask "do you need my help?" He says "no, I do need to be alone however, if you do not mind, Jason". I leave our room and wander around the ship for a bit.
I decide to see just how much the Dactrons are willing to cooperate with me. I stroll around the ship and decide to head to engineering, I see a Dactron looking over a computer screen and ask him what he's doing. He doesn't question why I'm there and has no problem answering me "I am going over subordinates yearly reviews". I nod and say "would you come with me for a moment" and he simply logs off of his computer and follows me. I have him walk with me to the lounge and I begin to ask him questions "why do you Dactorns follow my commands?" He looks puzzled "you are a Krellin".
"Yes, but why do anything a Krellin asks"?
"They rule the empire, we are part of the empire and have been for hundreds of years, you are our masters".
"Would you be willing to do anything I asked"?
"All races of the empire live to serve the Krellins".
"That's not what I asked".
"Yes, I would do anything you ask of me".
I really want to test this and see how far a Dactron will go to serve "get on your knees and suck on my co... my penis, right here, right now". He drops to his knees and begins reaches to undo my pants, I stop him before he does anything "ok that's enough. You really would have sucked my cock, Why?"
"You are our masters and though I do not find men appealing some races do, such as the Lustorians. You asked me to do something so I do it, even if it was oral sex"
I have him come with me to the lounge, still, to talk. I ask him "tell me what you can of the my people". He tells me "the Krellins are warriors who have conquered several systems and... ".
"I know this tell, me of your personal experiences with them".
"I am unsure of what to say here. You are the only Krellin I have ever seen"
"fine what of this ships experiences"?
"You are the first Krellin that has been on this vessel, since I have served aboard it. I know we shall be meeting with a Krellin vessel soon bu..." I cut him off "never mind, go back to your duties". I sit there in the lounge for a awhile and order a few drinks before heading back to the quarters.
On my way back all I can think about is how these Dactrons are willing to do anything I say just because I'm Krellin, they don't seem to be enslaved yet are completely subservient to a race that (from what I can tell) they've never even seen or met.
When I get back to the room, Vlex is sitting on the floor with his eyes closed "greetings, Jason, I have thought much about our situation. Since I cannot go home I shall stay on this vessel, there may be some residual temporal energy on us that can be studied".
"If that's really what you want to do".
"I have little other choice in the matter. I do not remember my older self living with us when I was a child, so I cannot go home. Perhaps my current existence will lead to a breakthrough in temporal physics and help my people with an understanding of this time travel of yours".
We spend the next few days on the Dactron ship talking to each other, I do fuck Flura a few more times, but not much else happens onboard their ship.
What happens next?
