The bridge of the voidship Hungry Star was exactly what one would expect from the bridge of the flagship of the Rogue Trader dynasty - richly, on the verge of obscene luxury, the ornate bridge glittered with gold, servo skulls flew over the high ceilings, and hundreds of officers guided the ship through the void. The most distinctive features of the bridge were the servants walking everywhere with trays of tons of delicacies and other food, almost the officers were women, and each had round, full bellies, ranging from a small round sphere resembling a pregnant woman's belly to huge bulging bellies hanging down to the floor.

Se'knan stood at the bridge, standing out of the way of the servants. On the right shoulder of his Terminator armor hung Carmine, the Ratling mostly looking at the food being carried around. Close to his left side stood Risha, the Nightsider just watching and listening to whatever she could catch. Risha, a Beastman, wasn't standing as close to Se'kan but was keeping more of a distance from anything else. From the look in her eyes, she was not comfortable around so many.

[salamandra-noctus]

Kina nodded. Didn't matter to her if they fought, she just was glad she'd be free to do this without punishment. Though wiping out a voidship of pirates... did sound enticing. Unlikely one would attack just after the Rogue Trader mentioned it, but the Beastman was still looking forward to when one did come.

Risha smiled and bit into the soft flesh of the fruit, ears fluttering in delight. It was especially sweet, just what she liked. She definitely was going to find out where this fruit came from later to have her brother get her more.

Carmine raised an eyebrow a bit. "They get reformed? Huh... didn't know that was possible. Guessing that extends to us for now too?" It would make sense that they were given the same safety net of sorts in case they were eaten.

"Of course. All officers, important persons and servants are automatically reformed thanks to the device aboard my ship," Anastasia wiped her mouth thoroughly with a napkin. - "Otherwise, the Hungry Star would be without officers in six months already. Though that doesn't apply to them. - Rogue Trader patted himself on his huge belly. - 'These preys will become part of us, unless you want to go to the device and personally reform them."

Rogue Trader's stomach takes up half the table, and began to rumble, consuming more than a hundred people swallowed in one meal.

The Emperor Death Angel's group was shown all sorts of signs of reverence and respect, but did not seek to approach and insult Space Marine with intrusive attention. Although a tray of food was placed beside them, and the servants made sure that everything from gourmet delicacies to freshly squeezed juice and amasek was plentiful.

Finally, one of the servants came closer, bowed deeply and said:

"The Lady Captain requests, if it is not inconvenient for the lord, that I escort you to her for a brief meeting."

[wargut40k]

A servant led Astartes and his charges forward, down the long bridge, until they finally reached the Rogue Trader throne itself, upon which sat Anastasia von Colloseus, the Lady Captain of this ship. The Rogue Trader was a very tall, lush in all the right places and beautiful woman with a confident smile on her plump lips, dressed in an ornate uniform, similar to the one worn in the Imperial Navy, but obviously just a likeness. If only because the uniform matched Von Colloseus' gigantic belly, and was pulled tightly over a rumbling sphere of flesh.

Anastasia rose from her throne with unexpected ease for her mass, set aside the glass she had been holding, and stepped a little closer to Space Marine, the sound of her heavy footsteps echoing throughout the bridge.

"Brother Se'kan, may I personally welcome you and your entourage aboard the Hungry Star. I hope you are pleased with my hospitality and that neither you nor your people are in need of anything. If there are any requests, please report them, and I will see that they are fulfilled," Anastasia said in a slightly low, velvety voice.

[salamandra-noctus]

"I don't believe anything is needed at this moment. Though I'm sure Carmine will likely ask for something sooner or later." The red-haired Ratling smirked as was about to say something when a piece of food was tossed into her mouth by Kina.

"Don't need you saying anything that'd insult her, sis. You have a bad track record of that." The goat girl smirks a bit as the Ratling rolls her eyes. Risha meanwhile was still quiet, standing between Kina and Se'kan.

[wargut40k]

Von Colloseus only smiled a little harder: “You need not worry, Brother Se'kan, any wishes you may have will be honored to the best of my ability, of which there are many. But since neither you nor your charges need anything now, let us discuss your stay on Hungry Star. The quarters for you and your charges have already been prepared, as has the armory for your armor and weapons, and a group of tech-priests have been assigned to maintain them.” Anastasia accepted a dataslate from a passing officer, and after a quick study of it, returned it. “Clothing, food, and servants will be plentiful. And if any of your wards are pred, any non officer can be eaten by them.” As if demonstrating this, Anastasia grabbed a passing servant by the scruff of the neck and in one swift motion sent him straight into her open mouth, swallowing him with a loud gulp. The Rogue Trader's giant belly shook only slightly, and Anastasia herself carelessly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief that another servant had brought over.

[salamandra-noctus]

Se'kan nodded, not flinching at the sight. Kina had done it often enough that he didn't see it as a big deal anymore. Granted, it was with guardsmen that had previously been quite cruel to her and she had let them out after giving them a good scare from it, but still.

Carmine's eyes widen a bit, not at the sight but the offer. Given her appetite, it was a pretty enticing offer. Might actually help her stay full longer.

Kina cocked an eyebrow, not as convinced the offer was real. Though she did still grab a passing servant and swallow her down just to test if it was. The Beastman was a bit hungrier than usual.

[wargut40k]

Not paying the slightest attention to the fact that one of her servants had just been swallowed by a beastman, Anastasia continued: “I know that you, kind brother Se'kan, have offered your assistance should I need it during my wanderings and adventures. I will not lie, the opportunity to have the holy Astartes himself join my retinue is too great to pass up. However, I would like to hear what you expect from me in exchange for your help? If, of course, you can tell me the purpose of your joining me.” If anyone in Se'kan's group was attentive enough, they might notice that out of all of Space Marine's charges, Anastasia was paying the most attention to Nightsider, Risha. There was no surprise, disgust, or fear in her eyes. Rather, a mild interest.

[salamandra-noctus]

Risha did notice, tilting her head slightly. She was curious of why the Lady-Captain seemed interested in her. Maybe because of her hearing? It did come in handy at times. It was why her brother's Chapter Master trusted her as one of the vox operators.

"All that I ask is that my sisters are treated with respect. Kina especially, as I doubt I need to go into detail why she may seem to be... distrusting at the moment." Se'kan knew the girl's issues with trusting others after what she'd gone through.

The goat girl wiped her mouth, looking at Anastasia's nonchalance at her eating one of the servants. Maybe she'd be able to trust this woman a little bit.

[wargut40k]

Anastasia bowed slightly politely: “I assure you, no one on my ship or in my Protectorate would dare treat your charges disrespectfully. You have my word on that.” The Rogue Trader then turned to them, and addressed the abhumans directly for the first time since the meeting began: “Like Brother Se'kan, you are welcome guests on my ship. I am sure you will enjoy your stay on the "Hungry Star." The sensorium, restrooms, and public area of the library are open to you.”

[salamandra-noctus]

Risha smiles before bowing herself. "Thank you very much, ma'am."

Carmine chuckled, sitting up on Se'kan's shoulder. "RiRi's going to really have some fun with the sensorium."

Kina just nods. Not much for her to say, it at least seemed like this was going to be a good deal for them. But what would this lady even need help from someone like Se'kan for?

[wargut40k]

"Lady Captain, not 'ma'am'." - Anastasia corrected Risha with a surprisingly warm smile. Anastasia stepped even closer, her huge and heavy belly bouncing and jiggling slightly with her movements, but Rogue Trader showed not the slightest sign that she was struggling or uncomfortable with such a huge belly.

The Abhumans as von Colloseus approached could note that Rogue Trader was practically as tall as Astartes herself, or even slightly taller!

"I will be asking you, Brother Se'kan, to attend with me in some of the negotiations with the Adeptus representatives, as well as provide any and all support in future combat operations." - Anastasia said, accepting another glass from a servant, and with a nod ordering her servants to serve the Astartes and his charges, which they promptly began to do.

[salamandra-noctus]

"A simple enough request. Though I wonder if there was a reason for me specifically to assist you and not another of my battle-brothers." Se'kan would take a glass as well. While he wasn't much of a drinker normally, he wasn't going to refuse when offered.

Carmine took one as well, being the only one of her sisters that, while all three were old enough to drink, actually drank outside of special occasions. It was actually tough to get the Ratling hammered. Not impossible, but hard for the average guardsmen at least.

Risha and Kina took glasses of juice. Risha did because she as honestly a lightweight and couldn't handle alcohol well. Kina only drank when she was especially angry and couldn't let off steam through spars. The Beastman didn't think she'd get that mad on the Rogue Trader's ship. She did wonder what Anastasia's reason for being out this far was, but was giving the benefit of the reason not being important to mention. Each Rogue Trader had their own reasons and goal for why they were in the sectors they were.

[wargut40k]

"Haha, let's not look for intrigue where there is none. - Anastasia emptied her glass in one gulp and set it down on the tray the servant had promptly set out. - Rather, I just took advantage of the opportunity. I don't think you, Saint Astartes, fully realize how much the mere fact that you are in my entourage enhances my reputation and standing in the sector..." The dialog was suddenly interrupted by a loud, hungry rumbling that made the glass shake, issuing from Von Colloseus' gigantic belly. Anastasia looked at her chrono, and said: "Oh, it's already lunchtime. Brother Se'kan, I invite you and your charges to join me in the small dining hall in half an hour. If you wish, we can continue our conversation there."

[salamandra-noctus]

He nodded, thinking that would be a good idea. There as little reason to believe Carmine wasn't getting as hungry as the Lady Captain by now. She'd have likely went after a few servants by now if she wasn't trying to be a little polite.

Risha's own stomach growled softly right after the rumble that Anastasia's gut emitted, showing she was getting hungry too. Likely from forgetting to eat again.

Kina drummed her fingers on her stomach, wondering if she should eat when she's already got someone in there. She probably would, doubtful the servant in her stomach wouldn't be used to that by now.

[wargut40k]

Half an hour later, Astartes and his girls were in the small dining room. Of course, it was only small as far as Rogue Trader was concerned; in fact, it was a large enough room that more than fifty people could easily sit down for lunch.

Right now, however, it was just them, Anastasia, a group of servants, and mountains of food - enough to satisfy the hunger of those very 50 people.

Rogue Trader herself had changed into a gorgeous red expensive dress that didn't even try to contain her huge belly, and had a neckline in the middle that allowed her belly to grow freely and not fit tightly.

"Please sit down and help yourself. Preys will be served a little later" - with the manners of a hospitable host Anastasia waved her hand towards the exquisite delicacies on the table.

[salamandra-noctus]

Se'kan sat, close enough to the Rogue Trader that neither would need to speak up. He had debated taking his armor off before arriving, but had admitted that the Lady Captain likely weighed as much if not more than he did in his armor. If the chairs could support her, it'd handle him.

Carmine sat in the lone seat between the two, rubbing her hands eager to dig in. The Ratling was excited to see what kind of food a Rogue Trader was able to get.

Risha sat on Anastasia's other side. Despite the staggering size difference both in height and width, the Nightsider didn't feel intimidated by the Lady Captain. One could assume that would be because she was the adopted sister of a Space Marine, but truthfully it was because of how Anastasia talked. Risha could tell she was a warm person.

Kina plopped down on the other side of Se'kan, belly still rounded out from the servant. She was likely mostly liquified by now, but surprisingly didn't struggle. A sign this hadn't been her first time, most likely. The spread of food looked good, and the mention of prey later made her smirk. The goat girl might take advantage of the Lady Captain's hospitality after lunch.

[wargut40k]

Anastasia was the first to start the meal as the hostess of the feast, indicating that it was okay for everyone to start eating.

Exquisitely cooked grox meat, whole roasted wild birds, high quality rice and pasta, spicy sauces and seasonings, real fresh fruit - everything was delicious.

Von Colloseus ate mannerly, yet quickly, and all the food seemed to disappear into her mouth in a matter of moments. Entire plates of dishes were devoured in one gulp. By the way, Anastasia also made sure that the other guests ate as well, especially singling out Risha and advising her on particularly tasty dishes.

By the time the servants started bringing in the specially prepared preys, half of the table had been devoured by Anastasia, and it looked like it was just an appetizer for her

[salamandra-noctus]

Risha followed the advice, trying the dishes Anastasia points out to her. She'd never had anything close to this good before, so she appreciated any help in the matter of what to have.

Carmine dug in, slightly less concerned about eating neatly than the Lady Captain. She was eating just about any dish she could reach, and those she couldn't with Se'kan's help. Hard to imagine much of the food left would go to waste with such a hungry Ratling onboard.

Se'kan himself was certainly more reserved in eating. In that he just wanted eating as many things or as quickly as the girls. He was having some of the meat, some of the pasta, some fruit, for the most part keeping it simple.

Kina went more for the meat and sauces, she'd had so much bland food before that any chance to have something with a punch was welcome. By the time the preys were being brought to the table, the Beastman could guess the three at the table who'd probably be getting any. Though she did wonder, who were the prey being served? If the Lady Captain was an inquisitor instead, Kina could expect heretics or crooks. But it could just as easily be some of the servants themselves. She'd just have to see who Anastasia was serving to them.

[wargut40k]

A whole procession of preys - beautiful girls covered with a thin layer of fragrant oil, of various sizes - from short and slender to almost spherical - lined up in front of the diners. Anastasia smiled, and said to the abhumans:

"Pick any ones you want, and they will approach you themselves. Preys for dinners for me and my retinue are selected from all the worlds of my Protectorate for this purpose only - to be lunch for me and my preds. So feel free to eat as much as you can. I'll finish all the others," and then she used her finger to call out one of the largest preys, which Rogue Trader swallowed in a matter of seconds after she approached.

[salamandra-noctus]

Carmine looked at the girls before motioning to one of the more muscular girls. This should help the Ratling figure out how big of prey she can get down. Being able to stomach the largest girl there wouldn't matter if she couldn't swallow them down first. Once she was over, Carmine would get started. As expected her much smaller stature compared to the prey made eating her a struggle. But the buff amazoness was slowly being inched into her temporary home.

Kina looked along the girls before picking out the four smallest girls. It wasn't that she wasn't confident she could eat more, she just wanted to have some fun with eating them. The first to reach her had her ankles grabbed and eaten feet first, giving her a chance to watch her view of her surroundings be enveloped. The second and third were made to hold onto each other while Kina swallowed them both head first. Their light kicking got their legs tangled together often so they slid down with ease. The fourth and final girl was going to get a slow process, starting with a kiss that soon enough had the girl's head pushed into the goat girl's mouth. Slowly her body as pushed further and further in as Kina both savored it and imagined doing this to someone she did really like.

[wargut40k]

Anastasia looked at the abhuman preds with a slightly condescending smile while she herself swallowed and swallowed more and more preys. Sometimes the Rogue Trader would send the appetizing girls into her stomach in one gulp, and sometimes she would slowly and enjoyably suck them inside her like a delicacy.

The captain's huge belly was bulging, slowly but surely getting bigger. After about 15 prey a couple of servants came over and began to massage the Lady Captain's belly, which continued to grow.

[salamandra-noctus]

Carmine, having gotten her muscly 'dessert' down after a rough couple of minutes, leans back in the chair and rubs her stomach. "Almost... might... have bit... off more... than I could... chew..." She panted heavily, obviously not having expected that much trouble. Her stomach easily dwarfed the rest of her.

Kina drummed her fingers on her own swollen gut, smirking a bit. "Not getting yelled at for once for doing this feels kind of nice. Got to ask though, why were they so calm about all of this? Even the servant of yours I ate didn't struggle." It was a question likely on the minds of all four of Anastasia's guests.

Risha's ears couldn't help picking up the gurgling of the Lady Captain's stomach. Nothing to indicate any of the eaten girls were struggling to get out. Moe just getting into comfortable position with how cramped it was likely getting. Not paying attention, the Nightsider would bite into a fruit she grabbed and feel her teeth not penetrate. It was a pitaya, very tough skin.

[wargut40k]

Anastasia, after swallowing another prey (a lushly busty beautiful brunette), distracted from her meal and helping Risha peel the skin off her fruit, began to explain:

"On my voidship, all the officers are female predators, the servants are well trained and educated, and they are refomed regularly. And these tasty-looking girls were chosen for this purpose - to be food. So none of them resist, and many of them crave this honor, to become part of Rogue Trader herself or her cronies. If you want a more active prey, you can ask these to resist more actively, or go a couple decks down and hunt there. And if you want a real fight, you'll have to wait until you catch someone's pirate voidship, for example."

After helping with the fruit, Anastasia went back to devouring the rest of prey. Until finally, they all ended up in Von Colloseus' monstrously bloated belly.

[salamandra-noctus]

The bridge of the voidship Hungry Star was exactly what one would expect from the bridge of the flagship of the Rogue Trader dynasty - richly, on the verge of obscene luxury, the ornate bridge glittered with gold, servo skulls flew over the high ceilings, and hundreds of officers guided the ship through the void. The most distinctive features of the bridge were the servants walking everywhere with trays of tons of delicacies and other food, almost the officers were women, and each had round, full bellies, ranging from a small round sphere resembling a pregnant woman's belly to huge bulging bellies hanging down to the floor.

Se'knan stood at the bridge, standing out of the way of the servants. On the right shoulder of his Terminator armor hung Carmine, the Ratling mostly looking at the food being carried around. Close to his left side stood Risha, the Nightsider just watching and listening to whatever she could catch. Risha, a Beastman, wasn't standing as close to Se'kan but was keeping more of a distance from anything else. From the look in her eyes, she was not comfortable around so many.

[wargut40k]

The Emperor Death Angel's group was shown all sorts of signs of reverence and respect, but did not seek to approach and insult Space Marine with intrusive attention. Although a tray of food was placed beside them, and the servants made sure that everything from gourmet delicacies to freshly squeezed juice and amasek was plentiful.

Carmine dug in, slightly less concerned about eating neatly than the Lady Captain. She was eating just about any dish she could reach, and those she couldn't with Se'kan's help. Hard to imagine much of the food left would go to waste with such a hungry Ratling onboard.

Se'kan himself was certainly more reserved in eating. In that he just wanted eating as many things or as quickly as the girls. He was having some of the meat, some of the pasta, some fruit, for the most part keeping it simple.

Kina went more for the meat and sauces, she'd had so much bland food before that any chance to have something with a punch was welcome. By the time the preys were being brought to the table, the Beastman could guess the three at the table who'd probably be getting any. Though she did wonder, who were the prey being served? If the Lady Captain was an inquisitor instead, Kina could expect heretics or crooks. But it could just as easily be some of the servants themselves. She'd just have to see who Anastasia was serving to them.

[wargut40k]

A whole procession of preys - beautiful girls covered with a thin layer of fragrant oil, of various sizes - from short and slender to almost spherical - lined up in front of the diners. Anastasia smiled, and said to the abhumans:

"Pick any ones you want, and they will approach you themselves. Preys for dinners for me and my retinue are selected from all the worlds of my Protectorate for this purpose only - to be lunch for me and my preds. So feel free to eat as much as you can. I'll finish all the others," and then she used her finger to call out one of the largest preys, which Rogue Trader swallowed in a matter of seconds after she approached.

[salamandra-noctus]

Carmine looked at the girls before motioning to one of the more muscular girls. This should help the Ratling figure out how big of prey she can get down. Being able to stomach the largest girl there wouldn't matter if she couldn't swallow them down first. Once she was over, Carmine would get started. As expected her much smaller stature compared to the prey made eating her a struggle. But the buff amazoness was slowly being inched into her temporary home.

Kina looked along the girls before picking out the four smallest girls. It wasn't that she wasn't confident she could eat more, she just wanted to have some fun with eating them. The first to reach her had her ankles grabbed and eaten feet first, giving her a chance to watch her view of her surroundings be enveloped. The second and third were made to hold onto each other while Kina swallowed them both head first. Their light kicking got their legs tangled together often so they slid down with ease. The fourth and final girl was going to get a slow process, starting with a kiss that soon enough had the girl's head pushed into the goat girl's mouth. Slowly her body as pushed further and further in as Kina both savored it and imagined doing this to someone she did really like.

[wargut40k]

Anastasia looked at the abhuman preds with a slightly condescending smile while she herself swallowed and swallowed more and more preys. Sometimes the Rogue Trader would send the appetizing girls into her stomach in one gulp, and sometimes she would slowly and enjoyably suck them inside her like a delicacy.

The captain's huge belly was bulging, slowly but surely getting bigger. After about 15 prey a couple of servants came over and began to massage the Lady Captain's belly, which continued to grow.

[salamandra-noctus]

The bridge of the voidship Hungry Star was exactly what one would expect from the bridge of the flagship of the Rogue Trader dynasty - richly, on the verge of obscene luxury, the ornate bridge glittered with gold, servo skulls flew over the high ceilings, and hundreds of officers guided the ship through the void. The most distinctive features of the bridge were the servants walking everywhere with trays of tons of delicacies and other food, almost the officers were women, and each had round, full bellies, ranging from a small round sphere resembling a pregnant woman's belly to huge bulging bellies hanging down to the floor.

Se'knan stood at the bridge, standing out of the way of the servants. On the right shoulder of his Terminator armor hung Carmine, the Ratling mostly looking at the food being carried around. Close to his left side stood Risha, the Nightsider just watching and listening to whatever she could catch. Risha, a Beastman, wasn't standing as close to Se'kan but was keeping more of a distance from anything else. From the look in her eyes, she was not comfortable around so many.

[wargut40k]

The Emperor Death Angel's group was shown all sorts of signs of reverence and respect, but did not seek to approach and insult Space Marine with intrusive attention. Although a tray of food was placed beside them, and the servants made sure that everything from gourmet delicacies to freshly squeezed juice and amasek was plentiful.

Finally, one of the servants came closer, bowed deeply and said:

"The Lady Captain requests, if it is not inconvenient for the lord, that I escort you to her for a brief meeting."

[wargut40k]

A servant led Astartes and his charges forward, down the long bridge, until they finally reached the Rogue Trader throne itself, upon which sat Anastasia von Colloseus, the Lady Captain of this ship. The Rogue Trader was a very tall, lush in all the right places and beautiful woman with a confident smile on her plump lips, dressed in an ornate uniform, similar to the one worn in the Imperial Navy, but obviously just a likeness. If only because the uniform matched Von Colloseus' gigantic belly, and was pulled tightly over a rumbling sphere of flesh.

Anastasia rose from her throne with unexpected ease for her mass, set aside the glass she had been holding, and stepped a little closer to Space Marine, the sound of her heavy footsteps echoing throughout the bridge.

"Brother Se'kan, may I personally welcome you and your entourage aboard the Hungry Star. I hope you are pleased with my hospitality and that neither you nor your people are in need of anything. If there are any requests, please report them, and I will see that they are fulfilled," Anastasia said in a slightly low, velvety voice.

[salamandra-noctus]

"I don't believe anything is needed at this moment. Though I'm sure Carmine will likely ask for something sooner or later." The red-haired Ratling smirked as was about to say something when a piece of food was tossed into her mouth by Kina.

"Don't need you saying anything that'd insult her, sis. You have a bad track record of that." The goat girl smirks a bit as the Ratling rolls her eyes. Risha meanwhile was still quiet, standing between Kina and Se'kan.

[wargut40k]

Von Colloseus only smiled a little harder: “You need not worry, Brother Se'kan, any wishes you may have will be honored to the best of my ability, of which there are many. But since neither you nor your charges need anything now, let us discuss your stay on Hungry Star. The quarters for you and your charges have already been prepared, as has the armory for your armor and weapons, and a group of tech-priests have been assigned to maintain them.” Anastasia accepted a dataslate from a passing officer, and after a quick study of it, returned it. “Clothing, food, and servants will be plentiful. And if any of your wards are pred, any non officer can be eaten by them.” As if demonstrating this, Anastasia grabbed a passing servant by the scruff of the neck and in one swift motion sent him straight into her open mouth, swallowing him with a loud gulp. The Rogue Trader's giant belly shook only slightly, and Anastasia herself carelessly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief that another servant had brought over.

[salamandra-noctus]

Se'kan nodded, not flinching at the sight. Kina had done it often enough that he didn't see it as a big deal anymore. Granted, it was with guardsmen that had previously been quite cruel to her and she had let them out after giving them a good scare from it, but still.

Carmine's eyes widen a bit, not at the sight but the offer. Given her appetite, it was a pretty enticing offer. Might actually help her stay full longer.

Kina cocked an eyebrow, not as convinced the offer was real. Though she did still grab a passing servant and swallow her down just to test if it was. The Beastman was a bit hungrier than usual.

[wargut40k]

Not paying the slightest attention to the fact that one of her servants had just been swallowed by a beastman, Anastasia continued: “I know that you, kind brother Se'kan, have offered your assistance should I need it during my wanderings and adventures. I will not lie, the opportunity to have the holy Astartes himself join my retinue is too great to pass up. However, I would like to hear what you expect from me in exchange for your help? If, of course, you can tell me the purpose of your joining me.” If anyone in Se'kan's group was attentive enough, they might notice that out of all of Space Marine's charges, Anastasia was paying the most attention to Nightsider, Risha. There was no surprise, disgust, or fear in her eyes. Rather, a mild interest.

[salamandra-noctus]

Risha did notice, tilting her head slightly. She was curious of why the Lady-Captain seemed interested in her. Maybe because of her hearing? It did come in handy at times. It was why her brother's Chapter Master trusted her as one of the vox operators.

"All that I ask is that my sisters are treated with respect. Kina especially, as I doubt I need to go into detail why she may seem to be... distrusting at the moment." Se'kan knew the girl's issues with trusting others after what she'd gone through.

The goat girl wiped her mouth, looking at Anastasia's nonchalance at her eating one of the servants. Maybe she'd be able to trust this woman a little bit.

[wargut40k]

Anastasia bowed slightly politely: “I assure you, no one on my ship or in my Protectorate would dare treat your charges disrespectfully. You have my word on that.” The Rogue Trader then turned to them, and addressed the abhumans directly for the first time since the meeting began: “Like Brother Se'kan, you are welcome guests on my ship. I am sure you will enjoy your stay on the "Hungry Star." The sensorium, restrooms, and public area of the library are open to you.”

[salamandra-noctus]

Risha smiles before bowing herself. "Thank you very much, ma'am."

Carmine chuckled, sitting up on Se'kan's shoulder. "RiRi's going to really have some fun with the sensorium."

Kina just nods. Not much for her to say, it at least seemed like this was going to be a good deal for them. But what would this lady even need help from someone like Se'kan for?

[wargut40k]

"Lady Captain, not 'ma'am'." - Anastasia corrected Risha with a surprisingly warm smile. Anastasia stepped even closer, her huge and heavy belly bouncing and jiggling slightly with her movements, but Rogue Trader showed not the slightest sign that she was struggling or uncomfortable with such a huge belly.

The Abhumans as von Colloseus approached could note that Rogue Trader was practically as tall as Astartes herself, or even slightly taller!

"I will be asking you, Brother Se'kan, to attend with me in some of the negotiations with the Adeptus representatives, as well as provide any and all support in future combat operations." - Anastasia said, accepting another glass from a servant, and with a nod ordering her servants to serve the Astartes and his charges, which they promptly began to do.

[salamandra-noctus]

"A simple enough request. Though I wonder if there was a reason for me specifically to assist you and not another of my battle-brothers." Se'kan would take a glass as well. While he wasn't much of a drinker normally, he wasn't going to refuse when offered.

Carmine took one as well, being the only one of her sisters that, while all three were old enough to drink, actually drank outside of special occasions. It was actually tough to get the Ratling hammered. Not impossible, but hard for the average guardsmen at least.

Risha and Kina took glasses of juice. Risha did because she as honestly a lightweight and couldn't handle alcohol well. Kina only drank when she was especially angry and couldn't let off steam through spars. The Beastman didn't think she'd get that mad on the Rogue Trader's ship. She did wonder what Anastasia's reason for being out this far was, but was giving the benefit of the reason not being important to mention. Each Rogue Trader had their own reasons and goal for why they were in the sectors they were.

[wargut40k]

"Haha, let's not look for intrigue where there is none. - Anastasia emptied her glass in one gulp and set it down on the tray the servant had promptly set out. - Rather, I just took advantage of the opportunity. I don't think you, Saint Astartes, fully realize how much the mere fact that you are in my entourage enhances my reputation and standing in the sector..." The dialog was suddenly interrupted by a loud, hungry rumbling that made the glass shake, issuing from Von Colloseus' gigantic belly. Anastasia looked at her chrono, and said: "Oh, it's already lunchtime. Brother Se'kan, I invite you and your charges to join me in the small dining hall in half an hour. If you wish, we can continue our conversation there."

[salamandra-noctus]

He nodded, thinking that would be a good idea. There as little reason to believe Carmine wasn't getting as hungry as the Lady Captain by now. She'd have likely went after a few servants by now if she wasn't trying to be a little polite.

Risha's own stomach growled softly right after the rumble that Anastasia's gut emitted, showing she was getting hungry too. Likely from forgetting to eat again.

Kina drummed her fingers on her stomach, wondering if she should eat when she's already got someone in there. She probably would, doubtful the servant in her stomach wouldn't be used to that by now.

[wargut40k]

Half an hour later, Astartes and his girls were in the small dining room. Of course, it was only small as far as Rogue Trader was concerned; in fact, it was a large enough room that more than fifty people could easily sit down for lunch.

Right now, however, it was just them, Anastasia, a group of servants, and mountains of food - enough to satisfy the hunger of those very 50 people.

Rogue Trader herself had changed into a gorgeous red expensive dress that didn't even try to contain her huge belly, and had a neckline in the middle that allowed her belly to grow freely and not fit tightly.

"Please sit down and help yourself. Preys will be served a little later" - with the manners of a hospitable host Anastasia waved her hand towards the exquisite delicacies on the table.

[salamandra-noctus]

Se'kan sat, close enough to the Rogue Trader that neither would need to speak up. He had debated taking his armor off before arriving, but had admitted that the Lady Captain likely weighed as much if not more than he did in his armor. If the chairs could support her, it'd handle him.

Carmine sat in the lone seat between the two, rubbing her hands eager to dig in. The Ratling was excited to see what kind of food a Rogue Trader was able to get.

Risha sat on Anastasia's other side. Despite the staggering size difference both in height and width, the Nightsider didn't feel intimidated by the Lady Captain. One could assume that would be because she was the adopted sister of a Space Marine, but truthfully it was because of how Anastasia talked. Risha could tell she was a warm person.

Kina plopped down on the other side of Se'kan, belly still rounded out from the servant. She was likely mostly liquified by now, but surprisingly didn't struggle. A sign this hadn't been her first time, most likely. The spread of food looked good, and the mention of prey later made her smirk. The goat girl might take advantage of the Lady Captain's hospitality after lunch.

[wargut40k]

Anastasia was the first to start the meal as the hostess of the feast, indicating that it was okay for everyone to start eating.

Exquisitely cooked grox meat, whole roasted wild birds, high quality rice and pasta, spicy sauces and seasonings, real fresh fruit - everything was delicious.

Von Colloseus ate mannerly, yet quickly, and all the food seemed to disappear into her mouth in a matter of moments. Entire plates of dishes were devoured in one gulp. By the way, Anastasia also made sure that the other guests ate as well, especially singling out Risha and advising her on particularly tasty dishes.

By the time the servants started bringing in the specially prepared preys, half of the table had been devoured by Anastasia, and it looked like it was just an appetizer for her

[salamandra-noctus]

Risha followed the advice, trying the dishes Anastasia points out to her. She'd never had anything close to this good before, so she appreciated any help in the matter of what to have.

[salamandra-noctus]

"I don't believe anything is needed at this moment. Though I'm sure Carmine will likely ask for something sooner or later." The red-haired Ratling smirked as was about to say something when a piece of food was tossed into her mouth by Kina.

"Don't need you saying anything that'd insult her, sis. You have a bad track record of that." The goat girl smirks a bit as the Ratling rolls her eyes. Risha meanwhile was still quiet, standing between Kina and Se'kan.

[wargut40k]

Von Colloseus only smiled a little harder: “You need not worry, Brother Se'kan, any wishes you may have will be honored to the best of my ability, of which there are many. But since neither you nor your charges need anything now, let us discuss your stay on Hungry Star. The quarters for you and your charges have already been prepared, as has the armory for your armor and weapons, and a group of tech-priests have been assigned to maintain them.” Anastasia accepted a dataslate from a passing officer, and after a quick study of it, returned it. “Clothing, food, and servants will be plentiful. And if any of your wards are pred, any non officer can be eaten by them.” As if demonstrating this, Anastasia grabbed a passing servant by the scruff of the neck and in one swift motion sent him straight into her open mouth, swallowing him with a loud gulp. The Rogue Trader's giant belly shook only slightly, and Anastasia herself carelessly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief that another servant had brought over.

[salamandra-noctus]

Se'kan nodded, not flinching at the sight. Kina had done it often enough that he didn't see it as a big deal anymore. Granted, it was with guardsmen that had previously been quite cruel to her and she had let them out after giving them a good scare from it, but still.

Carmine's eyes widen a bit, not at the sight but the offer. Given her appetite, it was a pretty enticing offer. Might actually help her stay full longer.

Kina cocked an eyebrow, not as convinced the offer was real. Though she did still grab a passing servant and swallow her down just to test if it was. The Beastman was a bit hungrier than usual.

[wargut40k]

Not paying the slightest attention to the fact that one of her servants had just been swallowed by a beastman, Anastasia continued: “I know that you, kind brother Se'kan, have offered your assistance should I need it during my wanderings and adventures. I will not lie, the opportunity to have the holy Astartes himself join my retinue is too great to pass up. However, I would like to hear what you expect from me in exchange for your help? If, of course, you can tell me the purpose of your joining me.” If anyone in Se'kan's group was attentive enough, they might notice that out of all of Space Marine's charges, Anastasia was paying the most attention to Nightsider, Risha. There was no surprise, disgust, or fear in her eyes. Rather, a mild interest.

[salamandra-noctus]

Risha did notice, tilting her head slightly. She was curious of why the Lady-Captain seemed interested in her. Maybe because of her hearing? It did come in handy at times. It was why her brother's Chapter Master trusted her as one of the vox operators.

"All that I ask is that my sisters are treated with respect. Kina especially, as I doubt I need to go into detail why she may seem to be... distrusting at the moment." Se'kan knew the girl's issues with trusting others after what she'd gone through.

The goat girl wiped her mouth, looking at Anastasia's nonchalance at her eating one of the servants. Maybe she'd be able to trust this woman a little bit.

[wargut40k]

Anastasia bowed slightly politely: “I assure you, no one on my ship or in my Protectorate would dare treat your charges disrespectfully. You have my word on that.” The Rogue Trader then turned to them, and addressed the abhumans directly for the first time since the meeting began: “Like Brother Se'kan, you are welcome guests on my ship. I am sure you will enjoy your stay on the "Hungry Star." The sensorium, restrooms, and public area of the library are open to you.”

[salamandra-noctus]

Risha smiles before bowing herself. "Thank you very much, ma'am."

Carmine chuckled, sitting up on Se'kan's shoulder. "RiRi's going to really have some fun with the sensorium."

Kina just nods. Not much for her to say, it at least seemed like this was going to be a good deal for them. But what would this lady even need help from someone like Se'kan for?

[wargut40k]

"Lady Captain, not 'ma'am'." - Anastasia corrected Risha with a surprisingly warm smile. Anastasia stepped even closer, her huge and heavy belly bouncing and jiggling slightly with her movements, but Rogue Trader showed not the slightest sign that she was struggling or uncomfortable with such a huge belly.

The Abhumans as von Colloseus approached could note that Rogue Trader was practically as tall as Astartes herself, or even slightly taller!

"I will be asking you, Brother Se'kan, to attend with me in some of the negotiations with the Adeptus representatives, as well as provide any and all support in future combat operations." - Anastasia said, accepting another glass from a servant, and with a nod ordering her servants to serve the Astartes and his charges, which they promptly began to do.

[salamandra-noctus]

"A simple enough request. Though I wonder if there was a reason for me specifically to assist you and not another of my battle-brothers." Se'kan would take a glass as well. While he wasn't much of a drinker normally, he wasn't going to refuse when offered.

Carmine took one as well, being the only one of her sisters that, while all three were old enough to drink, actually drank outside of special occasions. It was actually tough to get the Ratling hammered. Not impossible, but hard for the average guardsmen at least.

Risha and Kina took glasses of juice. Risha did because she as honestly a lightweight and couldn't handle alcohol well. Kina only drank when she was especially angry and couldn't let off steam through spars. The Beastman didn't think she'd get that mad on the Rogue Trader's ship. She did wonder what Anastasia's reason for being out this far was, but was giving the benefit of the reason not being important to mention. Each Rogue Trader had their own reasons and goal for why they were in the sectors they were.

[wargut40k]

"Haha, let's not look for intrigue where there is none. - Anastasia emptied her glass in one gulp and set it down on the tray the servant had promptly set out. - Rather, I just took advantage of the opportunity. I don't think you, Saint Astartes, fully realize how much the mere fact that you are in my entourage enhances my reputation and standing in the sector..." The dialog was suddenly interrupted by a loud, hungry rumbling that made the glass shake, issuing from Von Colloseus' gigantic belly. Anastasia looked at her chrono, and said: "Oh, it's already lunchtime. Brother Se'kan, I invite you and your charges to join me in the small dining hall in half an hour. If you wish, we can continue our conversation there."

[salamandra-noctus]

He nodded, thinking that would be a good idea. There as little reason to believe Carmine wasn't getting as hungry as the Lady Captain by now. She'd have likely went after a few servants by now if she wasn't trying to be a little polite.

Risha's own stomach growled softly right after the rumble that Anastasia's gut emitted, showing she was getting hungry too. Likely from forgetting to eat again.

Kina drummed her fingers on her stomach, wondering if she should eat when she's already got someone in there. She probably would, doubtful the servant in her stomach wouldn't be used to that by now.

[wargut40k]

Half an hour later, Astartes and his girls were in the small dining room. Of course, it was only small as far as Rogue Trader was concerned; in fact, it was a large enough room that more than fifty people could easily sit down for lunch.

Right now, however, it was just them, Anastasia, a group of servants, and mountains of food - enough to satisfy the hunger of those very 50 people.

Rogue Trader herself had changed into a gorgeous red expensive dress that didn't even try to contain her huge belly, and had a neckline in the middle that allowed her belly to grow freely and not fit tightly.

"Please sit down and help yourself. Preys will be served a little later" - with the manners of a hospitable host Anastasia waved her hand towards the exquisite delicacies on the table.

[wargut40k]

Thinking about adding more muses here, but taking the looks from other canons. For example, for the main enforcer, take Caitlin's appearance from League of Legends.

[salamandra-noctus]

The bridge of the voidship Hungry Star was exactly what one would expect from the bridge of the flagship of the Rogue Trader dynasty - richly, on the verge of obscene luxury, the ornate bridge glittered with gold, servo skulls flew over the high ceilings, and hundreds of officers guided the ship through the void. The most distinctive features of the bridge were the servants walking everywhere with trays of tons of delicacies and other food, almost the officers were women, and each had round, full bellies, ranging from a small round sphere resembling a pregnant woman's belly to huge bulging bellies hanging down to the floor.

Se'knan stood at the bridge, standing out of the way of the servants. On the right shoulder of his Terminator armor hung Carmine, the Ratling mostly looking at the food being carried around. Close to his left side stood Risha, the Nightsider just watching and listening to whatever she could catch. Risha, a Beastman, wasn't standing as close to Se'kan but was keeping more of a distance from anything else. From the look in her eyes, she was not comfortable around so many.

[wargut40k]

The Emperor Death Angel's group was shown all sorts of signs of reverence and respect, but did not seek to approach and insult Space Marine with intrusive attention. Although a tray of food was placed beside them, and the servants made sure that everything from gourmet delicacies to freshly squeezed juice and amasek was plentiful.

Finally, one of the servants came closer, bowed deeply and said:

"The Lady Captain requests, if it is not inconvenient for the lord, that I escort you to her for a brief meeting."

[wargut40k]

A servant led Astartes and his charges forward, down the long bridge, until they finally reached the Rogue Trader throne itself, upon which sat Anastasia von Colloseus, the Lady Captain of this ship. The Rogue Trader was a very tall, lush in all the right places and beautiful woman with a confident smile on her plump lips, dressed in an ornate uniform, similar to the one worn in the Imperial Navy, but obviously just a likeness. If only because the uniform matched Von Colloseus' gigantic belly, and was pulled tightly over a rumbling sphere of flesh.

Anastasia rose from her throne with unexpected ease for her mass, set aside the glass she had been holding, and stepped a little closer to Space Marine, the sound of her heavy footsteps echoing throughout the bridge.

"Brother Se'kan, may I personally welcome you and your entourage aboard the Hungry Star. I hope you are pleased with my hospitality and that neither you nor your people are in need of anything. If there are any requests, please report them, and I will see that they are fulfilled," Anastasia said in a slightly low, velvety voice.

Risha, a Beastman, wasn't standing as close to Se'kan but was keeping more of a distance from anything else. From the look in her eyes, she was not comfortable around so many.

The Emperor Death Angel's group was shown all sorts of signs of reverence and respect, but did not seek to approach and insult Space Marine with intrusive attention. Although a tray of food was placed beside them, and the servants made sure that everything from gourmet delicacies to freshly squeezed juice and amasek was plentiful.

Finally, one of the servants came closer, bowed deeply and said:

"The Lady Captain requests, if it is not inconvenient for the lord, that I escort you to her for a brief meeting."

A servant led Astartes and his charges forward, down the long bridge, until they finally reached the Rogue Trader throne itself, upon which sat Anastasia von Colloseus, the Lady Captain of this ship. The Rogue Trader was a very tall, lush in all the right places and beautiful woman with a confident smile on her plump lips, dressed in an ornate uniform, similar to the one worn in the Imperial Navy, but obviously just a likeness. If only because the uniform matched Von Colloseus' gigantic belly, and was pulled tightly over a rumbling sphere of flesh.

Anastasia rose from her throne with unexpected ease for her mass, set aside the glass she had been holding, and stepped a little closer to Space Marine, the sound of her heavy footsteps echoing throughout the bridge.

"Brother Se'kan, may I personally welcome you and your entourage aboard the Hungry Star. I hope you are pleased with my hospitality and that neither you nor your people are in need of anything. If there are any requests, please report them, and I will see that they are fulfilled," Anastasia said in a slightly low, velvety voice.

[salamandra-noctus]

"I don't believe anything is needed at this moment. Though I'm sure Carmine will likely ask for something sooner or later." The red-haired Ratling smirked as was about to say something when a piece of food was tossed into her mouth by Kina.

"Don't need you saying anything that'd insult her, sis. You have a bad track record of that." The goat girl smirks a bit as the Ratling rolls her eyes. Risha meanwhile was still quiet, standing between Kina and Se'kan.

Von Colloseus only smiled a little harder: “You need not worry, Brother Se'kan, any wishes you may have will be honored to the best of my ability, of which there are many. But since neither you nor your charges need anything now, let us discuss your stay on Hungry Star. The quarters for you and your charges have already been prepared, as has the armory for your armor and weapons, and a group of tech-priests have been assigned to maintain them.” Anastasia accepted a dataslate from a passing officer, and after a quick study of it, returned it. “Clothing, food, and servants will be plentiful. And if any of your wards are pred, any non officer can be eaten by them.” As if demonstrating this, Anastasia grabbed a passing servant by the scruff of the neck and in one swift motion sent him straight into her open mouth, swallowing him with a loud gulp. The Rogue Trader's giant belly shook only slightly, and Anastasia herself carelessly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief that another servant had brought over.

[salamandra-noctus]

Se'kan nodded, not flinching at the sight. Kina had done it often enough that he didn't see it as a big deal anymore. Granted, it was with guardsmen that had previously been quite cruel to her and she had let them out after giving them a good scare from it, but still.

Carmine's eyes widen a bit, not at the sight but the offer. Given her appetite, it was a pretty enticing offer. Might actually help her stay full longer.

Kina cocked an eyebrow, not as convinced the offer was real. Though she did still grab a passing servant and swallow her down just to test if it was. The Beastman was a bit hungrier than usual.

Not paying the slightest attention to the fact that one of her servants had just been swallowed by a beastman, Anastasia continued: “I know that you, kind brother Se'kan, have offered your assistance should I need it during my wanderings and adventures. I will not lie, the opportunity to have the holy Astartes himself join my retinue is too great to pass up. However, I would like to hear what you expect from me in exchange for your help? If, of course, you can tell me the purpose of your joining me.” If anyone in Se'kan's group was attentive enough, they might notice that out of all of Space Marine's charges, Anastasia was paying the most attention to Nightsider, Risha. There was no surprise, disgust, or fear in her eyes. Rather, a mild interest.

[salamandra-noctus]

The bridge of the voidship Hungry Star was exactly what one would expect from the bridge of the flagship of the Rogue Trader dynasty - richly, on the verge of obscene luxury, the ornate bridge glittered with gold, servo skulls flew over the high ceilings, and hundreds of officers guided the ship through the void. The most distinctive features of the bridge were the servants walking everywhere with trays of tons of delicacies and other food, almost the officers were women, and each had round, full bellies, ranging from a small round sphere resembling a pregnant woman's belly to huge bulging bellies hanging down to the floor.

Se'knan stood at the bridge, standing out of the way of the servants. On the right shoulder of his Terminator armor hung Carmine, the Ratling mostly looking at the food being carried around.

Does the Lady-Captain have a soft spot for any specific kind of abhuman?

Anastasia von Colloseus smiled a slight but confident, even cocky smile:

"Hmm, come to think of it, I don't meet many abhumans in my wanderings other than ogrins. But if I were to pick the most pleasing to the eye, I think felinids and nightsiders would be my choices."

Can I try something? If you're in the v/ ore community here, please reblog?

No pressure to of course, but looking back so much of the community has broken apart or left and I'd just really like to see how many people are still around, if we can make anything from this.
