Chương 87: Chapter 88: Burger and Fries

The woman who was still on her knees glared at the one who had just entered before she snapped, "Damn bitch, you're just making excuses."

"Believe what you want, just get dressed, the target has left Palaxia and is heading for Trillion; she is currently in FTL." The standing woman said before she walked away.

"Finally." The man said before he finished his drink and stood up.

"But babe, I wanted to continue." The woman whined.

"Don't worry, we will have plenty of time to continue after we finish the job." The man said as he pulled the woman into a hug; however, his eyes that were filled with desire were glued to the departing woman's ass and not the one who was snuggling into his chest. The woman who walked away accessed her uniband before sending a quick message to one of her contacts. [[Message Sent: Target located.]]"Finally, I will soon be done with those two dickheads."

💫💫💫 Spector continued to travel in FTL, and once he got hungry, Adam decided to head to the mess hall for some food, where he found Stacey indulging in some chocolate ice cream. He noticed she had taken a shower because her hair was still slightly wet and she had changed her clothes, though she still wore a Diva Rowana t-shirt, albeit a different one.

"I see you're enjoying it," Adam said with a smirk.

"This is soooo good, I understand why Diva Lorelie likes it so much," Stacey replied.

"Well, don't go overboard, it's not good for you in large amounts and will affect that great figure of yours."

"Nothing to worry about there, you may not know this, but Terrans have certain genetic modifications applied to them at birth, one includes always having the perfect metabolism and figure."

"The women in my home world would kill for something like that."

"Hehe."

"If that's the case, make sure to try the other flavours, there are many."

"I will." Stacey said happily before she thought of something and said, "I was shocked to find you had a shower with proper running water."

"Why, what did you think it would be?" Adam asked before ordering his food from the food dispenser.

"I thought it would be a sonic shower like on most ships. Sonic showers might do the job, but they don't feel anywhere near as good as a shower with real water. This ship of yours is incredible."

"Thank you." Adam and Spector surprisingly said at the same time, causing Stacey to giggle.

"I take it you're a Diva Rowana fan then?" Adam asked as he sat down opposite her with his food. Stacey didn't reply, however, as she stared at the food in front of him before asking, "What's that?"

"This?" Adam replied as he looked at his food before looking back at Stacey and saying, "It's called a burger and fries with a milkshake."

"I want one," Stacey said as she jumped up and ran over to the food processor before requesting the same burger that Adam had just got. Adam shook his head before he dug into his burger until Stacey returned with her own. She took a quick sniff of the food before taking a delicate tasting bite, after which she made a noise of enjoyment, "mmm""Delicious." She said before digging into the burger with gusto, along with the fries.

However, when it came to the milkshake, she paused as she looked at the strange, long, thin and hollow tube-like object that was sticking out of the drink, unsure of what purpose it served. This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. Adam noticed this and chuckled before he said, "It's called a straw, you suck the drink through it, here watch."

After explaining, Adam stirred the milkshake a couple of times with the straw before using it to take a drink. Stacey watched with interest before she copied his movements.

"Wow, it's cold like the ice cream before, but liquid instead of solid, though there is a thickness to it, unlike milk. Also, what flavour is this?"

"It's strawberry flavour, you can get as many flavours of milkshake as you can of ice cream, including the chocolate."

"Wow," Stacey said before she continued to eat and drink happily.

"So, Diva Rowana." Adam prompted again.

"Oh, right, sorry, I got distracted by the great food and drink. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm a fan of hers." Stacey replied.

"Why not be a model yourself then? You obviously have the figure for it, and it must be better than the shady work you're currently doing." Adam asked. Stacey shook her head before saying, "There is no demand for Terran models."

"Because of the whole Solarian Princess thing?"

"Correct, Terran models do exist, but they are extremely rare because they only get work in the Terran Empire. Data shows that the other races are less likely to buy a product a Terran celebrity endorses compared to if any other race's celebrity endorses it."

"Also, since there are plenty of races that look like Terrans and are just as attractive, the companies can just use them instead, Diva Lorelie, for example."

"I see," Adam said in understanding.

"Also, being a model doesn't really interest me, I mean, I would be happy to do it occasionally for the extra credits, but it's not my dream."

"What is your dream?" Adam asked with curiosity. Stacey opened her mouth as if to reply, but then had second thoughts and closed it again with a shake of her head.

"Secret." She finally said with a smile. Adam smiled in response before they both returned to enjoying their burgers. The next day, Adam and Stacey sat in the mess hall again. Stacey was busy looking through one of the consoles and reading whatever she was allowed access to about Earth and its different forms of entertainment. She even listened to a few songs randomly and marvelled at the unknown instruments.

"I'm bored, fancy playing a game?" Adam suddenly said, attracting Stacey's attention.

"Sure, what do you have in mind? Some VR games?"

"Nothing that high tech," he said as he walked towards the food processor.

"Spector, can you create a game console for me from Earth that we can play?" Adam asked.

"Processing."

"Affirmative, using available resources, I can produce a near-perfect replica of any game console that exists in my database and also sync it to work with the holographic displays."

"Since we want some fun multiplayer games using a console Stacey has never used before, we should start easy. Give me a Bintendo Change." The food processor came to life, and a moment later, a near-perfect replica of a Bintendo Change appeared where the food normally came from.

"That food processor can produce more than just food?" Stacey asked in surprise. Adam picked up the console and carried it over to one of the tables that had sofas next to them before placing it down and pressing the on button. Amazingly, it worked even though it didn't have a power cord, and a holographic screen appeared showing the main menu.

"Ohhh, it's got like every game ever available for the Change on here," Adam said in surprise, and he browsed the available game catalogue.

"What's this?" Stacey asked with interest as she sat next to Adam and looked at the console.

"It's called a games console, it's what we play the games on, take this," Adam replied before handing her a controller.

"I will teach you how to play." He said before launching the game. Several more days passed as they travelled at FTL while laughter kept coming from the mess hall as Adam and Stacey played all sorts of different games from vs to Co-op games. 💫💫💫"Why the fuck haven't they dropped out of FTL yet? At this rate, your prediction will be off, and they will fly right past us." The man asked angrily as he sat on the bridge of his ship.

"This is boring, let's go have some fun, babe. That bitch can call us when they drop out of FTL." One of the women said as she draped herself over the man. The other woman just rolled her eyes before asking, "Has it occurred to either of you that they might have a Star Drive?"

"What sort of courier can afford a fucking Star Drive? What are we supposed to do now?" The man retorted.

"If they are indeed travelling in FTL using a Star Drive, we can only force them out of FTL with a strong enough EMP blast."

"Fuck you mean we have to use one of the Thunderstorm bombs? Those things cost a fucking fortune."

"It's that or we attack them in FTL and lose the element of surprise."

"For fucks sake, fine." 💫💫💫"Diva Lorelie, we will be dropping out of FTL in a few moments before we dock at the TISF space station above Terrana five." The Imperial Down's captain said.

"Thank you once again, Captain, for escorting me safely here and for placing Gract in custody," Lorelie replied gratefully.
