Thanks for reading my story. This is another shorter story to fill in while I work on a longer one. I got the idea for this story while watching a movie on the SY-FY Chanel. As with all my stories, this one contains graphic descriptions of anal enemas. If this offends you please read no further. If the way I write offends you please read no further. Other than that I hope you enjoy it.
Katie opened her eyes slowly. Her head felt groggy and he body felt stiff. Something wasn't right as she stood there looking out of the capsule that she had been sleeping in for the last 28 years. It had suddenly opened and she stood trying to collect her thoughts trying to remember back.
She and 250 other persons with skills that would be needed to start a colony 35 lightyears from Earth had been chosen for this mission she remembered. They had been trained and they had studied for the mission. She was an expert in robotics engineering she remembered others were experts in Horticulture and Architecture. A married couple had been doctors and she remembered all had been in excellent health and of prime breeding age including herself.
Stepping out of her sleep capsule on rather wobbly legs she stood for a couple of moments. She could hear and feel the hum of the ship as it moved through space to a predetermined destination. Looking around she found the room where she stood to be very clean. The floors seemed to be polished and the walls washed down. The air seemed to be fresh and had the soft smell of apple and cinnamon.
"Hello, anyone here?" She called out. "Hello!" she hollered louder this time. The words sounded hollow in the huge room. She began to notice things now as her mind became more aware. Walking to the next capsule she looked in through the glass shield. The sight almost turned her stomach. The body inside was dried and shriveled and the closed eyes indicated they had died sleeping just never waking up.
She checked them all and all held the dried-up remains of the colonist and there was nothing she could do. It seemed they had died years ago yet for some reason she had not. Might it have been the extra program she had loaded into her own sleep capsule with the permission of those in charge? It had just been a small injection of endorphins into her air supply while she slept. She could remember feeling the slight heart rate increase every week and the feeling of happiness.
It had taken her 3 days to jettison all the sleep pods into space feeling a bit guilty that she couldn't give them a better farewell. Now the empty sound of the ship surrounded her. Everything on the ship seemed to be working fine. She had food enough to last her for about 300 years and an endless supply of water. In the shower room, there were hundreds of towels and all kinds of hygiene products from shampoo to toothpaste.
She had started exploring the ship on the seventh day after she had awakened. There were 3 decks in all and she had discovered the cleaning robots that paid her no mind as they went about their tasks. They left the soft smell of apples and cinnamon in the air as they moved along. There were sleeping chambers on all decks along with cafeterias that were all fully automated. There were 3 lounges on the middle deck and a tender bot stood ready in each. They made a decent Brandy Old Fashion that she had come to like before they had departed.
On day 9 she found herself in a restless state feeling the need to throw the energy off. Her body was young and strong and she could feel her muscles needing to be used. Pulling her long blonde hair into a ponytail she started walking swinging her arms in an exaggerated gesture as she moved. After several minutes she knew she was going to have to exert her body more. Her young muscles needed more.
She started at a slow trot letting her leg muscles extend naturally. Yes, this was where she needed to be. Her muscles needed more. She could feel her breathing deepening as she increased her pace and she could feel her body temperature rising. She was about 1/4 way around the deck when she pulled her T-shirt over her head and let the garment fall from her fingers as she ran on.
Reaching her hands up into the middle of her back she found the clasp for her bra and moved the ends apart. Her tits started bouncing as she ran on. They were free and she loved feeling them swaying and bouncing. Her nipples were hard and she felt free. Stopping for just a second her toes caught the back of her light rubber-soled shoes and she flipped them to the side. Her thumbs were in the waistband of her sweatpants and underwear and with a nasty grin, she pushed them down and stepped out of them.
She ran now, letting her tits swing free and listening to the slap of her bare feet on the polished deck. She had always wanted to run like this, her body naked feeling the soft wind blow over her body and now she was free to do just that. She ran until she had made it all the way around the deck before she stopped. The cleaning bots had already picked up her discarded clothes so she just continued to explore naked.
She found the bridge and looked out over the vastness of space through the large window. She was all alone out here and she tried to grasp just what that meant. As she sat in the huge Captain's chair she started thinking.
"Computer! Do you recognize me?" she asked trying to put "command" into her voice. "You are Dr. Katie Teal. Robotics and computer engineering expert. How may I assist you, Dr. Teal?" the computer responded. Kate smiled.
"Am I the only human life on this ship?" Kate asked.
"Yes, Dr. Teal," the computer responded. "All other human life forms have expired," it continued.
"Will this ship intersect paths with any other ship out here?" Kate asked keeping her fingers crossed. There was a slight pause as the computer searched for its answer.
"This ship will intersect with the luxury liner Blue Cloud in 2 years 13 days," was the answer. Kate felt her heart sink at the news. "I sensed a brief moment of despair Dr. Teal. Is everything okay?" the computer asked. Kate sat silent for a moment. Alone for over 2 years, she thought to herself.
"Computer, what assets do I have at my disposal?" Kate asked.
"All assets are at your disposal, Dr. Teal. Over 80 programable androids and all functions on this ship," was the response. "Would you like one of the droids to bring you some clothes doctor or do you prefer to be naked?" the computer asked out of the blue. Smiling Kate crossed her legs Indian style in the big chair.
