Credit Where Credit's Due (Closed)

Regardless of whether he recognized that it was her or not, he had seen her without her helmet on, so there was no need for her to cower or hide at this point. With a sigh, Gra'tia rose to her feet and looked at him tiredly, taking a few steps in his direction before stopping.

"I thought I told you to stay on the ship, and to not come after me." Though her words might have seemed accusatory, her tone was not. Rather, it sounded more neutral with a hint of amusement.
 
Hearing her voice, at first, I perked right up. She was alive! Yes! Slamming my pistol into its holster. Stepping over some of the broken pieces of tentacles that litter the corridor. A figure stood there and I came running up. "Gra'tia! You're alive!" remembering only her voice and not anything else.

Covered in black and white goo. Buck naked yet seemingly defiant despite the odds. When I got closer and saw what of her face wasn't in goo, I remembered...druk. Her religion. I'm not suppose to see this! On the other hand, I was so happy to see her in one piece that I just couldn't help myself, and threw my arms around her, saying, "I know, but it was boring in there!" I said with a satisfied sigh of relief.
 
There was a chuckle near his ear and her arms also came around him snugly. It felt very comforting to be in his arms after all that had happened, the woman feeling the full brunt of the relief that came with her rescue.

"I was bested by that creature and my helmet has been removed in the presence of others- I'm an apostate now," she said with a bitter smile. "My plan is to hopefully be granted access to the sacred waters where I can bathe to be given a second chance. I have to admit, I feel... ashamed to have been found in such a weak position." Gra'tia eyes looked over his shoulder at the floor, feeling utterly incompetent. She had never wanted to need anyone's help or rescue, but in this case she wouldn't have made it out without his assistance.
 
"Ashamed?" pulling back slightly. "You have nothing to be ashamed of, Gra'tia. I don't think one's ever faced something like...THAT....before!" flicking my head over at the ice sculpture. I didn't feel like the greatest champion in the galaxy. Just glad that Gra'tia was safe. The only reason why I'm still here is simply due to being lucky. Damn lucky.

Slowly letting her go and stepping back, trying not to stare at her body. Speaking of bathing, she needed one right now. Her words, calling herself an apostate, having to bathe herself in the sacred waters, brought me back to the reality that she was suffering a lot more.

We couldn't stay here. If Gra'tia was to get this second chance, we had to get her armor, and our target, and get back to the Outlander quickly. Holding Gra'tia with both hands, I said, "I'm sure you will get that second chance, Gra'tia. I think you earned it. You survived this thing!" before stomping on one of the pieces of frozen, and broken tentacles at my feet.
 
"Surviving isn't always enough," she answered, though she smiled at his attempt to encourage her. Gra'tia looked down at her hands, covered in black goo. She imagined that the entirety of her body was, save for the places that leaked the creature's cream. It was likely all down the back of her thighs from her ass and between them from her pussy. It wouldn't surprise her if there were still drippings down her chin, neck, and chest though. Though she had cum more times than she could count, the whole experience had been rather disgusting. Hopefully she wouldn't have any similar encounters in the future.

"Is he your-" one of the other women, a shorter, slimmer one coughed a few times before getting to her feet and moving closer. "pilot?"

"Yes," she replied with a nod. "This is Redar. He is an outsider, but he is trustworthy."

The other woman regarded him with tired curiosity. "Good. It'll be good to leave this place."
 
Hearing her call me trustworthy was just a cherry on top. My cheeks heated a little to her glowing compliment. Looking at this other woman, it clicked in my mind, she is the one we came here for. Good! My eyes look her over and then look away. "Right. We should get going," before holding up a finger. "After we get both of your armor!" The goo rolling down her body didn't offend me so much knowing she was alive. It would make a mess back on the ship. Who cares, so long as we get out of this place!

"Come on. I think I saw your armor back in the Control Room," pointing a hand in the direction where I thought it was. All this running around got me a bit mixed up.

Pausing for a moment, and looking at the other women, "What do we do with them?" pointing a finger at the exhausted figures.
