Hilda Muller was preparing her speech for the first Terran Council meeting since the catastrophe in Rashidium. It had been six chaotic months, but on the bright side, it had strengthened Hilda's position and claim for power.
Before the defeat against the Martians and the terrifying Xeno invasion, The Terran Council was all about commerce. For the Terran Council, the army was support functions to protect trade. As the population felt threatened by the Xenos, they were calling out for more protection. This benefitted Hilda as she had claimed the vacant Supreme Commander title after her father's death. Hilda was not satisfied though. Hilda did not want to be the lackey of some hedonistic plutocrat; she wanted to be the top dog herself. Hilda aimed to be the new chairman of the Terran Council, ruling over Earth.
Hilda had an excellent claim to the position. As the leader of the military forces, she had planned and reorganised the army to successfully counter the new threat. After the initial Xeno attacks, the military had pinpointed the locations of the portals, so they could avoid surprise attacks. The army had also adapted their weaponry to their new enemies. They had replaced all their ballistic guns, with energy-based and melee weapons. Hilda had ordered fleets of space warships in low orbit over every identified portal. Hilda's actions had turned the tide of the war; discouraged by their losses, the Xenos had stopped attacking Earth.
Hilda spotted Markus White in the corridor. Unfortunately, he had not reached a prominent position in House White, but he could be useful for other purposes. Hilda called him over, and he entered her room.
Hilda:
- Oh, Markus how nice it is to see you again!
Markus:
- Hi Hilda! Thanks again for saving my life.
Hilda:
- It was my pleasure. Especially the night that followed saving your life!
Hilda winked at him before continuing:
- So, do I have your support for the Chairman position of the Terran Council?
Markus:
- Yes, I would vote for you. But unfortunately, I am not the one calling the shots, so I can't guarantee you the support from my faction.
Hilda:
- I know Markus. But you can help me with something else!
- I want you to fuck me as good as you did when we came back from Rashidium.
Markus:
- Are you crazy? We are on the level where the meeting is taking place. What if someone comes early and sees us?
Hilda:
- Then let them. I will be their boss, and I am going to show them that I am not intimidated by what they think. Quite the contrary!
Having said this, Hilda released some pheromones, which made Markus irresistibly horny. Shortly afterwards he fucked her roughly from behind. When they had finished, Hilda wiped herself and smiled at the exhausted Markus. She spoke to him as she left:
- You stay here and relax, lover boy, while I take control of the Council.
Satisfied and confident, Hilda walked to the meeting room. It was a great relief to have sex with a human again; she had played with droids for the last few months. Not that Hilda was unattractive but being powerful didn't have the same sex appeal for a woman as it had for a man. While a man in power could use his influence to have sex with anyone he wanted, society expected a woman in command to keep monogamous. But Hilda didn't want to be monogamous. She wanted to be independent and follow her desires, including the sexual ones. Hilda promised herself that once she seized control, she would do what she wanted, regardless of what her male peers thought about it!
The leaders for the other factions entered the boardroom, as did Hilda's cousin, Michael Muller. Hilda studied Michael. Michael had shocked the rest of House Muller when he chose to step down to Hilda without a fight, but she had anticipated it. Michael was a man who enjoyed wealth but hated power and encumbering responsibilities. Michael didn't even want to be on the board, but Hilda had convinced him to stay and follow her lead. Michael was perfect where he was, as he gave Hilda credibility while not arguing with her.
The other factions represented were House White, House Cheng, House Bolivar, and House Goldstein. House Goldstein was among the five most -powerful factions again due to the downfall of House Rashid.
Watching the group of foreign dignitaries, Hilda took a deep breath and prepared to speak.
