Mission: Mission 2 - Love ORION Mistaken
Location: Legacy Corridor

Legacy was a big ship. It was even bigger for Vivyra who had limited knowledge of the ship and restricted access. Even so, people were everywhere and yet, nobody stopped to talk or be friendly. However, she did not know which way to go in order to get back to her room. Hopefully there, she could wait for Jane or someone to lead her about. Hoping for a kind soul, she literally grabbed the first person she could, by the wrist and said, "Excuse me. My name is Vivyra. I'm very lost. Can you help me get to my quarters?"

’So this is the Orion everyone is talking about.’ Haas thought to himself before giving her a genuine smile. “Of course, I’m Lieutenant Haas, I’m Legacy’s Chief Comms Officer.” He said by way of introduction. “Where are you trying to get to?”

"Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Haas. I am just trying to get to my quarters that Cindy and Jane gave me." She tilted her head slightly, her face puzzled.

“Do you know the deck and section they were in?” Haas asked with a smile and a helpful tone.

"Um, I think Cindy said VIP section? But, I admit that I was not paying too close of attention." She shrugged helplessly and then looked at Haas curiously. "You're a Terran male, right?"

Steffan nodded, “Correct.”

"I'm a little confused then," Vivyra told him, tilting her head slightly. "I was always taught that Terran males could not resist Orion women. You do not seem to be having any difficulties resisting me. I could always try the experiment of dancing because I hear that drives any male wild with desire but somehow, I do not think that Cindy would appreciate me doing that to anyone on this ship."

“I apologise but I don’t find you attractive. Don’t get me wrong, you’re pretty, very pretty. But there is no physical attraction towards you.” Haas replied.

Vivyra shrugged. "I've only been with women. Maybe that is the reason." She then blinked a few times and gave him a winning smile, "You think I'm pretty?"

Haas shrugged, “You’re very attractive.” He said giving her a visual once over.

The Orion squealed happily. "You're not just saying that?"

“Not at all. Why do you ask?” Haas asked.

"Well, I did not know if men had different tastes. I mean, well, the planet I came from was made solely of females. So, most of what I know about men, is academic. I am really curious about how it would be to sleep with a male. So far, I have not done that." She turned her head to the side a bit and smiled before asking, "Would you like to be my first?"

Haas felt his cheeks begin to turn red. “Erm, I’m actually seeing someone. It’s nice of you to offer but I’d rather not.” He said before swallowing hard.

“Quarters!” He suddenly blurted out. “VIP Quarters, If memory serves they’re on deck six. I can show you to the nearest turbo lift to take you there.”

"That would be so sweet of you. Thank you so much!" she gratefully enthused. Interested in his earlier statement, she asked, "So, you are you seeing?"

“Yes, she’s Legacy’s Chief Science Officer.” Haas replied as he began to lead the Orion in the direction of the nearest turbolift. “We’ve been together for almost 2 months. I’m actually thinking of asking her to marry me.”

"I really need to understand this marriage thing better," Vivyra replied seriously. "I do not understand it. Bec was trying to explain it to me earlier but it was very confusing. It sounded very much like a purchase of each other, which makes no sense, either. Can you help me understand it?" Her eyes became very large and puppy dog like, looking for the assistance.

“Erm, sure.” Haas replied as they walked. “Marriage is a symbol of our love for someone. It shows commitment to the person you love. In essence you’re taking yourself off the open market. You’re choosing to spend the rest of your life devoted to that one person.”

"Off the open market," Vivyra repeated to herself. "So, you sold yourself to your Chief Science Officer? How much money did you get for that?" she asked seriously.

“Erm,” Haas thought for a moment before the penny dropped. “It’s just a term of phrase. Meaning I’m not available any more, I’m committed to someone. There was no actual monies exchanged, it’s a mutual commitment.”

"So, then, you purchased each other?" Vivyra asked, obviously confused.

“In a manner of speak, yes.” Steffan replied. “Im guessing things are very different for Orions?” The Comms Officer asked, curious to hear about Orion culture.

"We certainly don't have this marriage thing. Women are like property. We're bought and sold. Some of us are bought for breeding, dancing, pets ,or pleasure. Then again, is that not what we were all meant for? Pleasure?" she asked beaming at Haas.

“Erm...” Haas stuttered. “Women and men are equals. We do pleasurable things together but I won’t class women as solely for those things. They can be whatever they want to be in our society.”

"Equals?" Vivyra's eyes bulged. This was clearly a startling concept for her. "But how is that possible? Men are stronger and are providers and can put us in our place! We are here for their pleasure and if we can give pleasure, then we have fulfilled our purpose."

“Maybe in Orion society but not in ours. Women can also be strong and providers.” He said as they arrived at the turbolift and Haas pressed the button to call the cart.

Vivyra reached out towards Haas' arm and squeezed his bicep. "You seem stronger than I do. I could not imagine being stronger than you or any male."

Haas glanced down at Vivyra’s touch. A wave of warmth came over him. “Perhaps I am stronger.” He said slowly.

"See!" Vivyra replied removing her hand. "And this is why, we women, are meant to be taken, protected, and possessed. You are stronger."

Haas nodded in agreement as the turbolift doors slid open. He entered the lift first. He seemed to have gone blank, “Where was we going again?” He asked.

"You were helping me find my quarters," she helpfully reminded Haas.

Steffan smiled, “Of course I was.” He said before choosing deck six. “Would you like me to come in and show you how the VIP amenities work?”

"I would not mind another tour. I might have missed something in Jane's teachings." She paused for a moment and then asked, "Do you know Jane? She's a doctor," she told Steffan proudly.

“I do know Jane, she’s such a good friend.” Haas replied. “Where shall we start your tour then?”

"Wherever you would like!" Vivyra enthused. "There's so much to see and I'm not really sure about where everything is. I just want to meet more people and see more things. It is lonely being the only Orion here."

“Ah, May I suggest the officers mess? I’m sure there will be plenty of people there who will be willing to talk to you.” Haas said with a smile. “You’ll find most people of the ship very helpful and friendly.”

"Well, I was there already with Bec," she said smiling warmly at Steffan. “She told me to go and meet more people. I just had to go up to them. You were my first at that, too. I'm afraid that this is all very new to me."

“Where would you like to go, my dear?” Haas replied softly.

"Wherever you would like to take me!" Vivyra bubbled, clearly flattered that Steffan was taking so much time with her instead of immediately returning her to her room.

“That’s a very flirtatious comment to make.” He said with a telling smile. “Say that to the wrong person and that could get you in all sorts of trouble.”

"What kind of trouble would that be?" Vivyra replied blinking her eyelashes at Steffan.

Steffan gave Vivyra a smile and a wink. “In a sexual way.”

Vivyra cooed, “and just what is wrong with something being taken or done in a sexual way?”

Steffan shrugged his shoulders, he really didn’t have an answer for that. “Erm, Nothing I suppose.”

"So, if we are agreed that there is nothing wrong with sexual ways, perhaps you can finally take me back to my room and we can share them." She slipped her hand into Steffan's. "Please," she begged with her eyes.

A wave of warmth washed over Haas as she took his hand. He relaxed even more and smiled, “Yes, let me show you how human males make love.”

"Oh, goody!" Vivyra squealed excitedly. "So, how do we get back to my quarters again?"

“Deck six is the VIP quarters.” Haas simply replied, intoxicated by the Orion.

"So, take me already!" Vivyra replied excitedly to Haas. "The sooner, the better," she told him while holding Haas' hand in hers.

Haas smirked as he pulled her into the lift and ordered it to deck six.

The lift dutifully took the couple too deck six and opened. “Are you sure this is where I belong?”

“Of course.” Steffan replied with a cheeky smile. “This way is the VIP quarters.” He said pointing down the left corridor.

"Oh! This is looking more familiar now! Which one is mine? Do you know?"

“This one.” Haas said as they stop at a door and he pressed the open button. “After you, my lady.” He said with a smile as he gestured towards the open door.

Vivyra led Haas in. She knew that this would be a special day. Perhaps, if he was lucky, she would even dance for him...
