-This is Andrew Eagle, to the three fleets currently fighting in the Alpha Pictoris system.
Size fire immediately and leave my territory.
Hearing his message the three fleets immediately stopped fighting.
-Who are you and why are you interfering in our business?
One of the captains asked angrily.
-I don't give a damn if you want to kill one another as long as you do it somewhere else.
Andrew answered.
-As for who I am, that's none of your business, all you need to know is that if you don't leave my system, you will be destroyed.
As soon as he finished speaking half of the satellites fired warning shots, to let the three fleets know he was not bluffing.
All the captains in the three fleets paled, seeing the firepower of only half of the satellites, realizing that they would not survive if these shots were aimed directly at their ships.
-I don't know who you are, but you have made your point.
A much calmer female voice said over the comms.
I'm glad to hear that, now leave.
Andrew said.
-I wish I could comply, but two of my ships lost their FTL capabilities, and it will take a while to repair them.
The same female voice said.
-In that case, you can stay for as long as it takes to repair your FTL drives, or I can send tugs to tow you to your territories.
However, if you try something, you will not live long enough to regret it.
Andrew, warned her, not wanting any trouble.
-We will also retreat, but can you tell me where this wormhole leads to before we depart?
A calm and steady male voice asked.
-It leads to my territory in the Andromeda galaxy.
Andrew answered, not bothering to hide that fact since it was not that important.
-Thank you, we will take our leave now.
The captain said, and the last fleet to arrive was the first to leave as his ships jumped away shortly after he got the answer.
-Are you going to leave or do you wish to see how long your ships can last against my satellites?
Andrew said to the captain who answered first.
-I'll leave for now, but I'll give you a fair warning.
My boss won't be happy about this, so you might regret not staying in the other galaxy.
-If he has a problem, he knows where to find me.
The human answered coldly.
Without saying anything more the second fleet to arrive also left, leaving only the first fleet.
-So have you decided if you want to repair your ships here, or do you require a tow to your territory?
He asked, calmly.
-If possible, we would like to request a tow, we don't want to trespass on your territory for a moment longer than absolutely necessary.
The female captain answered.
-Stand by, the tugs are on their way, in the meantime, you might want to call your friends and tell them not to open fire on my ships.
Andrew said, seeing a mobilization of warships in all the factions.
-I'm sorry, but I'm out of communication range at the moment.
The captain replied.
Hearing this, Andrew pressed a few times on his console.
-Try it now.
The captain was stunned as not only her comms range but also her sensor range increased to 500 light years.
-What did you just do?
She could not stop herself from asking.
-There is a relay in the system, and I just added your ships to its user list temporarily.
Andrew answered with amusement, omitting the fact that this would allow him to hear her conversation with the fleet of her faction.
To his surprise, the captain didn't try anything and simply called her fleet, to explain the situation and request a safe passage for the tugs that would be towing her ships back.
Her request was granted, and not long later the tugs came from the wormhole.
Without any delay, the three ships were towed into their territory.
The moment they were safely in their territory and close to their fleet, the tugs, left them and came back, to tow more shipwrecks through the wormhole.
As soon as his ships were back, Andrew removed the three ships from the relay user list as it was no longer necessary to keep them there.
He only gave them access to make sure their fleet would not fire on his ships and also to show them the difference in technology.
While this was going on, everyone had forgotten about the scout ship, which arrived at the Sol system and finished its mission within a few minutes, dropping the three reconnaissance teams and the transmitter, right before placing the comms satellite in a high orbit.
What's more, the ship scanned the whole planet, confirming that the infrastructure on it was mostly intact.
Then the Corvette left the Sol system not wanting to overstay their welcome or be discovered, by anyone.
Now all that was left, was to wait for the drones and droids to do their work.
In the meantime, Andrew ordered a station to be built in the Alpha Pictoris system.
Nairin took the task and started the production of the module parts.
Even while producing and repairing ships, they still had more than enough resources to make a station.
Other than that Andrew also sent more satellites to the other side of the wormhole, just in case, someone wanted to try their luck in attacking the system.
Once this was done, they all called it a day and left the watch to Vulcan, who was more than happy to take over.
On the way to their bedroom, Andrew and Aelita met Iliana wearing her swimsuit.
-Do you want to join us in the jacuzzi?
The doctor asked as soon as she approached the couple.
-Why not, it's been a while.
Aelita answered, while Andrew nodded, he could use some relaxing time in hot water.
-Great, then see you there, I'm going to prepare it, also I made some bath oils, hope you like them.
Ilia said with a smile and went on her way.
As soon as the human and the Cherin entered, they noticed that everyone was already there.
-Why are you here?
Andrew asked Arien, as she was supposed to still be in the Rodill system.
-Ilia called me to come and relax for a while, so I left the command to one of my captains and got back.
The commodore said with a smile.
Andrew just sighed and shook his head, not wanting to argue about it at the moment.
To his surprise Teresa was also present, he never thought that she would be willing to join their group bath.
-Alright, it's ready.
Iliana said a moment later, as she finished adding some pale blue liquid to the bath, changing the water color slightly.
The aroma was also great and quite relaxing, reminding Andrew of the flower patches in the park he used to play in as a child.
Soon they were all in the water, relaxing and taking in the wonderful scent, that Iliana's oil added, making the experience even more pleasant and relaxing than usual.
As usual, they talked about everything and anything in the bath while relaxing.
-I also prepared something for this bath.
Suddenly Teresa said, with a smile, and jumped out of the bathtub, only to return with a tray of cups, filled with something looking resembling a juice.
-What is this?
Andrew asked, receiving his cup.
-I asked Nairin, to make me a juicer, and she did.
We have a lot of fruits now, and even more carrots, so I made some juice for us.
-Ilia told me that this would be a great time to have some juice so I brought some.
She explained while jumping back into the bath thumb with a cup in hand.
This was an unexpected but pleasant development, and the chilled juice tasted great when he took a sip.
-Can we all drink that?
Tarina asked, worried about their different biologies.
-You can, I tested it, and there is nothing in it that could harm any of us.
Iliana said with a smile and took a sip from her cup to prove her words.
From then on they all enjoyed the bath even more.
Everyone enjoyed the bath so much that nobody noticed when Ilia opened a small bottle underwater and allowed its contents to mix with their bath.
Before long everyone started to feel hot and became more sensitive, while their libido skyrocketed, making it hard to control themselves.
-What's going on?
Andrew asked while trying to control himself.
-Nothing much.
Iliana said approaching him, with a lustful smile.
-I was simply tired of waiting for you to figure out that we all want you, and for the ladies to finally gather the courage to do something about it since you were too busy playing the gentleman.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands.
She whispered, into his ear, and her breath almost made him lose control.
-I see that you are still resisting, let me take care of it.
She said before she grabbed his head and kissed him passionately, making him lose the small amount of control he had left.
