Chapter-1:
I woke up to the sound of the alarm. I looked at the clock and realised I'd been sleeping for 18 hours, not that it was a problem, I had a long journey ahead. I took a deep breath, started the coffee machine and went to the sink to make myself fresh. A quick brushing of the teeth, a quick visit to the loo and finally a refreshing bath. My journey would start at 8:45 in the morning, and it would continue for 6 days. I got ready, prepared my luggage and finally checked out of the room.
The planet was called QS-177-T by the scientific communities and the normal name was "Octavian's Survey." The planet was discovered by an Italian explorer and he dedicated it to the Octavian. It was a galactic stopover planet from the centre of the galaxy to the end of the galactic rim. The planet was somewhere at 25,000 light years from the centre. It took several years of travelling from the centre to the planet. Many businessmen and passengers were taking transit from around the Sol, Sirius and Barnard's Star, also known as the "Neighbourhood" and travelling around.
When I checked out from the hotel, I saw our bus, waiting in the parking area. I took the bus to the station. My job that day was to take the train "HHR Marina Jane" from the "CBD" to the "Birch Slope", a city far northwest. I took the paperwork and finally signed.
While submitting the paperwork, the lovely lady at the front desk told me, "A skilled conductor Tarsi will be joining with you shortly."
The rain was drenching the place. I couldn't do the walkaround properly, nor did I need to. The train was already inspected by the station staff. But there would be a massive desert ahead, about the size of France. The temperature there fluctuated from 57 degrees Celsius to 72 degrees Celsius, which would certainly be fatal for any human. A malfunction in the middle of that hell would be a death sentence. When everything checked out as normal, I entered the cab of the behemoth of the locomotive, around 3.5 meters wide gauge tracks made the locomotive look like a monster. Under the bonnet, there were 8, 50,000 HP Orion Heavy Brushless DC Traction motors, with overhead catenary that supplied electricity to the locomotive. The loco would be hauling 54 wagons. Out of them, 20 were Premium Class, 10 were Business Class and 10 were First Class. 10 were cargo wagons, 1 was a kitchen car, 1 was a hospital car, 1 was a generator and finally the last car was for the train manager.
The locomotive had a small room to sleep while other drivers took control of the train. I went there and changed my dress as they were totally soaked from the rain. When I entered the control cab, I saw a girl, struggling with her umbrella walking... well, more like struggling through the platform towards the control cab. Her uniform was very wet. I opened the door and she nearly jumped into the cab and folded her umbrella.
"Hi, I'm Tarsi...," she said looking at me.
I was not paying attention to her voice, as my eyes were locked on her chest area, with 2 pronounced nipples that could be seen.
"Hi, uh... I am Sam. Welcome. Let me..." I took her wet umbrella and put that in storage, marked "Dry Item".
"You can take off... uh, chake off... fuck! Change your clothes behind the battery pack." I uttered while nervously trying to pull the "Push" marked door. A loud metal bang broke my eye contact with her high beam and looked at her eyes. She was wearing a glass; her hair was in a ponytail. She was smiling and then said, "What? Is this your 1st time looking at a woman?"
"Ow," I tried to say something, but she then took off her glass and said, "Can you show me the room?
I brought her to the back of the huge battery packs and opened the room for the journey ahead. The room was small with a big single bed.
"Ah, single bed," she commented and jumped and sat on it. She pushed it with her fist, "Ah, firm. It's gonna be fun."
I stayed silent.
"What? Are you gonna film me while I change?" she said.
"Oh, sorry," as I was leaving, she said, "No, please, hand me the towel. I'll be back soon." As I did that, she left the room and came back, wearing a towel and said, "Now, go."
On the way to the control cab, I bashed my head into the overhead cabling and pulley system which was connected to the control cab.
"FUCK!" I shouted while a blunt thud noise travelled around the cab. I heard some laughter and giggling from the inside of the room. She was enjoying every moment of it.
I sat down and started configuring my train for the departure. She entered the cab, wearing a very small T-shirt and a very small miniskirt. The T-shirt was so small that a sudden rough movement could lift it, exposing her boobs. Her miniskirt was small enough to show that she wasn't wearing any undergarments there, leaving her fun-hole exposed.
She sat on her chair, took the comm and said, "CBD Central Tower, this is HHR Marina Jane, requesting departure clearance."
