The Huntress

Mist swirled around her ankles as she made her way down one of the ship's many corridors; her body bathed in orange-red light. She entered a sizeable, round chamber in the heart of the vessel - which was making its way through the depths of space at tremendous speed - and approached a large console. Her clawed fingers dextrously pecked at the glowng symbols layed out on the panel, causing a screen to flicker to life. A single large sphere appeared, surrounded by fourteen more tiny spheres. - each of which locked into vaguly circular paths as they made their way around that central ball. A solar system. A few more commands and an adjusted slider and one of these tiny objects was slected and magnified. The huntress started at this particular world displayed before her intently. She clicked her mandibles in anticipation and purred softly. She raised her hand to the screen and touched the planet with her claw. There was a boop as curved braket-like symbols appeared on either side of it; several tiny glyphs appeared below it. This was her hunting ground now. As it was entered into the database it was made official. No other hunter would be permited to set foot onto that world untill she was through. Or dead.

As she turned to leave, momentarily satisfied, she could feel the eyes of several males on her. They were present when she'd entered, attending to tasks on some of the numerous other consoles in the control room. They had attempted to feign disinterest, but she knew - they all knew. The most desireable female aboard was in their presence. They couldn't help but look at this lithe, graceful creature in their midst. This pleased her, as it always did.

The huntress was clothed only in a simple loincloth, which she wore in the style of a gee string; a neklace of small animal bones hung between her bare breasts. Her skin was gray, darker on her dorsal side which gradated to a pallid color, almost white, on her chest and belly. Her sholders and backside were thickly peppered with dark gray and black spots. The eyes in her head were a pale amber. Physically speaking she was a goddess. She had an athletic, firm build yet didn't lack feminine curves. She was particulary pleased with the roundness of her buttocks. Her looks were only part of the reason she was so sought after. She was an accomplished hunter - especially for a female.

And in a few short days, she would uphold that reputaion.
