To be honest, Konoka wasn't sure if she was all the way there. Suddenly she was feeling everything at once: her sensitive skin chafing against probes (or was it her own clothing?), her raging libido at her helpless danger, the terrible hallucinating threat of the voidstorm. Her mind was aflame from the hallucination, her playacted captivity given a boost that was still uncanny due to it's incomplete state. Konoka feared she was overstimulated, and she might get lost in the hallucinations, given their extra power.

But Star Gazer held onto her. Their mental link was stronger than that. She had to hold on, for both their sakes. Konoka squeezed her eyes shut, retreating to Star Gazer's soothing voice. All would be well. She would see to it.

She shut her eyes and focused on Star Gazer's voice, letting the ship's tickling of her body be the only stimulation she needed. Her groans softed, as she was eased by the darkness.
