~Infinity Palace: Specially designed Living module for the morphs contingent~
The specially designed living module for the morphs living at the Infinity palace is a layout in the same design as the living modules inhabited by the Imperator Alicorn of deep space and the ponies of Sol a dormitory-style apartment with a living room, dinette with a full menu food replicator, two sitting rooms, a study, and four bedrooms. Their numerous quarters of various sizes spread about ten levels of the living module depending upon the number of morphs living in any giving quarters.
The priority is giving to married couples and their families. They allowed to share one of the bigger quarters on any level of the living modules. Except for top-level or penthouse level reserved for high ranking officers and their family or single higher-ranking officer. The officer's wing of the living module has a spacious living area divided into two bedrooms, a large living room, and a large study with connecting holographic crystal date cube library. A Dining room and dinette complete with full menu food replicator, private bathroom with a sonic shower, and recreation room.
The one difference between the full menu food replicator from the equine inhabitants of the Infinity Palace to the morphs inhabitants of the infinity palace is that all the morphs are omnivores and eat meat and vegetables
In the large study of her quarters in the Infinity palace in the morphs' living module sitting behind a desk going over several acquisition forms for the United Animal Space Expeditionary force was Fleet Admiral Jennifer Sterling was attired in an orange-colored form-fitting spacesuit with madras colored trim. On her bare four-toed pawed feet were knee-high boots. Since arriving at the Infinity Palace a few months ago (as far as she can tell, as their no accurate way to determine actual time), Jennifer has been coordinating fleet responsibilities with Rear Admiral (Upper) Justice Silverlight the chosen representative for Empress Galaxy Cosmos.
'I hate to admit this, but Justice Silverlight reminds me of my own late husband, Donovan Sterling. That mare of his is very lucky to have found the love of her long life, just like me. What little interaction I had with their foals or 'Royal Foals' I have found them much like my own puppies. Went needed, they form a strong united front as siblings.' Jennifer thought as the chimes on her door rings, she calls from the study 'come in.'
The door whoosh open and walking through the living room toward the study was Rear Admiral (Upper) Justice Silverlight attired in a form-fitting white spacesuit with tangerine-colored trim. On his dark blue bare feet were knee-high boots. Under his arm was the latest intelligence report from an Imperator Alicorn border surveillance post.
"Well, greeting Rear Admiral (upper) Justice Silverlight, what brings you to see me?" Jennifer asked as it a kind of relief for her as she was tired of going over acquisition forms.
"Greeting Mrs. Sterling the Empress thought, you should see this latest intelligence report from our Border surveillance post in the Ring Nebula star sector. It concerns your planet of ARK." Justice explains as he hands the intelligence report to her before he takes a seat on a sofa in her study to allow her to read it over.
~ A Few moments later~
"Huh? I see why the Empress' wants me to look at this latest intelligence report. The truth of the matter is Justice the Animal Exploratory Council for Research safety on ARK. Has never sent any deep space probes to that region of space. We were plan to one day. But the first contact with your species shelved that project for now." Jennifer explains as the she-wolf and stallion board a tramcar heading to the recreation deck on Citadel Class Space Station. She has yet to visit the recreation deck.
As the recreation deck tram car pulls to a complete stop at the tram station, the two side doors on the tram car whoosh open, allowing the passengers to exits out of the car on either side of the tram station. The recreation deck tram station is a hectic location with every type of station personnel milling around and talking among themselves. The lower half of the wall is painted in a shade of lilac, why the upper half of the wall was painted in vibrant red color to convey excitement. Spread about the walls were numerous video billboards advertising goods and services on the recreation deck and safety information.
Imbedded in the tram station's roof was the lens of a holographic camera that was displaying an AI mare's talking head, giving the latest Imperator Alicorn space news and advertising new products that can be found at the huge space station PX-store on the recreation deck. As Justice and Jennifer step off the tram car, the heels of their boots click metallically on steel plates of the tram dock. As the she-wolf and stallion walk pass the most significant MP guard post located in the tram station, they pass a group of four mixed (morphs, pony and Celestial Alicorn) security unit walking back to the post with a very disagreeable earth pony stallion who looks like he got the worst of a fight on the deck.
As the she-wolf and the stallion pass the security unit, the Military Police officers salute them. They return the salute as they continue onto the recreation deck. The recreation deck covers all of floor three on the Citadel Class Space Station. One half of the deck is dominated by a huge park with grass, trees, flowers, and park benches. A small manmade lake is at the center of this park with an observation deck that attaches to the recreation deck via a single bridge that extends from the park located on the recreation deck to a large open area with a fountain and more benches.
The other side of the deck has wide streets with several freestanding compartments with various entertainment options from restaurants, beauty salons, bars, holo theaters, live theaters, and small night clubs. The largest compartment on this side of the deck is the three stories PX-store affectionately called the mall. Due to various goods that can be bought from that facility by the space station personnel. As Justice continues the tour of the recreation deck with Jennifer, her body slouched. Walking down the sidewalk toward them was another she-wolf holding the hand of her five-year-old female puppy. As the mother and child passed Justice and Jennifer, they turned and walked into a small ice cream parlor down the block.
"What is wrong, Jennifer? You suddenly slouch went that mother and child passed us?" Justice inquiry as he stops in front of a small green area between two compartments.
"Huh? What, Justice?" Jennifer asked as the question snapped her out of her train of thought about her kidnap own mother from ARK.
"You suddenly slouch went that mother and child passed," Justice said, flipping the palm of his gloved hand into the air.
"Oh, that, I was about that age went the echoes retriever took my mother away from me. I was raised by my father. Every time I see a she-wolf with a young puppy like that, it brings up that memory." Jennifer explains as a tear ran down her cheek.
"My great grandmother mentioned that about you and said that one reason you jump at the alliance with the Imperator Alicorns." Justice comments as Jennifer blink with surprise.
"Your great grandmother is a very wise ruler. But this recreation deck, which means fun. Let's go have some fun, Justice." Jennifer said as her face flushed with happiness went she spotted a small night club just opening. UAS Fleet Admiral Jennifer Sterling might be the mature matriarch of Alpha Sterling clan. However, she still enjoys having fun and drags Justice into the night club to have some fun with her.
The night club's interior is a single large room with a raised VIP section with four round sofas with a single table in front of them. On the other wall were four tall tables with two tall chairs, each sitting next to them. A round bar sat toward the back of the night club and in the center of the club was the dance floor. All matter of colored light flashed and rotated on the dance floor, why toward the front of the dance floor was the occupied DJ booth.
Behind the DJ booth was superb looking yellowish-white unicorn mare with moderate cobalt blue and brilliant cyan striped mane and tail. Her slender 5ft 5in equine figure was attired in a form-fitting silver spacesuit with green trim. A pair of glasses was on her snout. On her yellow, white bare feet were knee-high boots. This unicorn mare was DJ Pon-3 (vinyl Scratch), a well-known DJ from the Planet of Sol.
~Several hours later~
Its several hours later Justice exits the night club carrying in his arms a very plastered and unconscious UAS Fleet Admiral Jennifer Sterling, he never figured that a she-wolf with her constitution could drink that much hard apple cider before passing out. But he should have known that she had too much to drink went she challenged DJ Pon-3 to a scratch-off. The night club was jumping, went this unicorn mare, and she-wolf went at it trying to outdo each other. It surprises Justice just how good Jennifer was at scratching. That went the contest ended in a stalemate went the she-wolf pass out at the second DJ booth. As Justice was leaving DJ Pon-3 told him if the she-wolf every wanted to play again with her. She will be more than happy to.
"Mama, what did you go? Where are you, mama? Please come home. I miss you mama."Jennifer said sadly as she dissolves into tears.
'As tough as a she-wolf, you are Mrs. Sterling. The taking of your mother went you were a puppy left you with some deep scars. I am not going to try to figure out how much pain you are feeling.' Justice thought as he carried the She-wolf to the tram station and took her back to the Imperator Alicorn officer's wing.
~In the Imperator Alicorn Officer's wing~
In the living room of Justice and Celestia officer's quarters UAS Fleet Admiral Jennifer Sterling sits on the sofa with a cold compress on her forehead trying to relieve the bad headache she has from drinking too much hard apple cider at the night club. At this time of night, the two family members that share the officer's quarters with Justice and Celestia are present. The cold compress was given to Jennifer by Galactic Medical Technician Cadence Sparkle, their adoptive niece, and resident medical tech. In the dinette of the quarters working on making Jennifer a hot cup of black coffee was Royal shogun Alysia Silverlight, their oldest granddaughter.
"Thank you, Miss Silverlight," Jennifer said politely as she takes a drink of the black coffee and watches Alysia walk over to sit down next to her cousin, who is wearing the upper half of her spacesuit her light pink bare feet exposed.
"You know, Justice, you could have taken me back to the Morphs officer's wing and left me on my sofa to recover from this hangover. You didn't have to bring me to your quarters." Jennifer comments as she takes another drink of black coffee.
"It quite all right, Mrs. Sterling. Today was the first time all of us had the same day off. So all of us were home went. Justice brought you in less than ideal condition." Celestia said in her well-spoken royal voice as she kisses her husband on his cheek.
"I thank you all once again. I think I feel good enough to make it back to the Morph officer's wing. So once again, thank you all." Jennifer said appreciatively as she walked out of Celestia and Justice's family quarters and head back to the tram station to head back to morphs officer's wing.
~near the border of Imperator Alicorn controlled space~
Skirting the border of Imperator Alicorn controlled space was the 'HES Asgard' on its way to an unexplored region of space searching for Lady Victoria Talbain home world. After fully recovering, Lady Victoria Talbain returned to the retriever's wreckage that brought her to the planet of Coppice.
She went through the retriever's wreckage with a fine tooth comb, looking for the retriever's navigation computer, and found it intact. Using her training as a UAC Peacekeeper full-maintenance engineer, she was able to get it to work. Once it was operational, she was able to trace back the retriever course backward from the Planet of Coppice up to the point that the retriever encountered the asteroid shower and was thrown off course by the damaged Nav computer. The data before that was so severely corrupted she couldn't recover it; the only thing she was able to glean from the fragments was that her home planet was indifferent star system.
'Another dead end' Victoria thoughts exhausted as she checks off the fourth-star system from the retriever nav computer.
"Victoria, please turns in for the night. You're no help that tired." Hilda suggested as Victoria stood up and head to her captain's quarters to sleep.
'My beautiful and dear puppy. Just wait for a little longer; your mama will keep her promise to reunite with you.' Victoria thoughts as she's changed into her nightgown and went to bed.
Simultaneously, several cloaked Imperator Alicorn Border surveillance posts along the border of Imperator Alicorn controlled space has kept track of the unknown alien battleship close to their borders. Along with the surveillance posts, a mini-patrol of three cloaked patrol class warships has been shadowing the alien vessel since it near the borders.
The mini-patrol is awaiting the arrival of heavy Reconnaissance patrol made up of one command class warship, three heavy mecha units, and six patrol class warships to take over the shadowing duties of the alien battleship. In the Infinity star sector, the heavy reconnaissance patrol quickly assembles leading the heavy reconnaissance patrol. It was 'IAS Northern lights' the command class warship from the Seven sister star sector.
On the bridge of the 'IAS Northern lights,' the command class warship watching the holographic image of the heavy mecha units and patrol class warships quickly form up was a magnificent looking pale pink imperator Alicorn mare with old gold-colored mane and tail. Her athletic 6ft 4in equine figure was attired in a form-fitting green spacesuit with light blue trim. On her bare light, pink feet were knee-high boots. Her gold bio-mechanical metal bird wings were folded on her back, and sitting on top, her head behind her horn was a simple gold crown. This imperator, Alicorn mare, was Queen Aphrodite Heavens, the ruler of the Seven Sister star sector and aunt to Fleet Admiral (upper) Justice Silverlight.
"Seven Sister star sector heavy reconnaissance patrol fleets move out." Queen Aphrodite said commanding as she quickly isolates the holographic image of Fleet Admiral (upper) Justice Silverlight so she may speak to him on a single line.
"Greetings nephew, could we speak until the heavy reconnaissance patrols fleets get into position for the massive wormhole jump to the star sector were the alien battleship is?" Queen Aphrodite asked as her ship begins to charge up the wormhole generator to jump.
"It must be quick auntie." Justice comments
"It will be nephew; I just want to ask you to come and visits me at infinity palace went we get back from this assignment. I'll be at the Palace for the next few weeks conducting business with my sister Galaxy for my Seven Sister Star sector." Queen Aphrodite asked
"All right, Auntie, I'll stop by to visit you at your quarters," Justice said as the Fleet made it wormhole jump.
