Empress of the Imperium
![]()

Since the "Massacre on Pennsylvania Avenue", as the Imperium media sources had dubbed it, everything on Earth was in a panicked and worried state. Empress Lei formed emergency committees and tried to ensure that what happened didn't happen again. The mood inside the White House, was grim almost all the time. Blood still stained some of the marble, no matter how much scrubbing was done, the traces of the battle remained almost permanently etched on the wood, stone and metal that was a centuries old "people's house". The true death toll wasn't really found out until weeks after the incident. Since many were simply vaporized by disruptors, the ones who weren't shot, stabbed or simply had their heads explode from within and dropped dead, their final moments painful agony. Empress Lei herself had slowly slipped into a deeply depressed state. She had found a few working LMDs and managed to program them to act her on behalf and do public appearances but the real woman herself seldom left her mansion on the Potomac. At first she wanted nothing but solitude, but she found herself being annoyed with herself, so she started inviting a few eligible bachelors, to try and distract her. But the longer it went since Jackson's attack, the more paranoid and the more in need of distraction she got. Soon her days consisted of waking up, handling some Imperium business, eating, training and then inviting some random man she barely knew over. Which typically ended up with them drinking, having sex and then her passing out or if she liked them, keeping them overnight. Julie Lei had become numb since that attack, nearly having her heart cut out of her chest by Selene and Jackson threatening to make her pull out her own heart was... traumatic enough. Then seeing her daughter Kalia beaten nearly to death with her own prosthetic leg... that just broke her. Sure she put on a brave face, she said what people needed to hear and did what she had to do. But when that was over, when she was alone with her thoughts, she either tried to drown them out with drink... or with sex. She remembered how much horrible stuff she was able to get through when she and Tiberius were screwing every day. Plus many men thought it was an honor to be able to have sex with the Empress and live, so long as they didn't brag about it. Of course... there were times when she would just call in one of her aides and do it right in the Oval. Or in a stairwell or wherever. The buzz and warm glow of an orgasm seemed to do it for her more than any drink or mood altering drug. -- Oval Office -- A knock sounded at the door, as a handsome male aide opened it. "Empress, I have those reports from the EU that you asked for." he said as he held up a padd. "Thank you... Mike was it?" Julie said with a smile as she looked up from her personal diary. "Mick, but close enough." He chuckled and handed her the padd. "Will there be anything else Empress?" Julie stood up and smiled. "Tell me... Mick... are you married?" she raised an eyebrow as she read over the report. "No ma'am... still single." he said with a slight blush. "Good.' Julie put the padd down and used the remote on the desk to close and lock the doors. "Your Empress needs you." she walked around her desk and touched his face. "Would you be... interested?" Mick had known that the Empress was starting to be known for picking her aides and having sex with some of them. Some got better jobs or other perks if they 'dated' her and kept their mouths shut. Of course, men being men, they would talk. He felt his mouth go dry and he nodded his head. "Whatever my Empress wishes." he said with a slight bow. "Good." Julie hiked her skirt up slightly and pulled off her panties and pulled them off. Hopping up on the desk she spread her legs and looked at him. "Your Empress wishes you right now." -- An hour later -- Clothes were strewn around the Oval Office as Julie was laying on the carpet with a pillow under her head as Mick was just finishing up with her for the third time. She was naked, save for a necklace and had almost a blank look on her face as he climaxed into her, she gasped and moaned as a climax rippled through her, then he gasped and panted and laid next to her. "Three times... that's got to be a record." "Welll... if that's a record for you, then I'm happy for you." Julie said with a bite of her lower lip as she caught her breath and closed her eyes. "Relax for a little while before you get dressed and go." she glanced over and sighed as she saw the broken clasp on her bra, it had caught and she impulsively told him to rip it off. She could still taste him on her lips and touched her face as she got her bearings. She laid there while he got dressed and scurried out of the Oval Office, he wanted to give her a kiss but she just put her hand up. Not even sure why she did it. Maybe she just didn't want to get attached. Maybe she was turning into a sex addict. Didn't matter who gave it to her as long as she got it. For nearly an hour she laid on the floor of the Oval, mostly naked, sweaty and mostly satisfied. The afterglow of sex had calmed the dragons in her brain but she still knew the crushing depression would hit her again, the fear that Jackson would return and kill her, kill Kalia and whoever else got in his way. It wasn't until the sun had shifted and started to shine on her that she finally got to her feet, cleaned herself up in her private bathroom and finally got dressed and attempted to finish out the day. Times like this, she really missed her slaves... |

Kalia knocked on the door and walked into the Oval, she was limping on a far inferior leg and looked about as disheveled as her mother. "Geez and I thought I looked like shit mother." "What's your excuse?" Julie said as she straightened up her outfit. "Fell on the way in. I hate this leg." Kalia said bitterly, her right eye was still half closed even though the swelling had gone down. "Let me guess... fucked another aide?" "Only thing that keeps me functional." Julie admitted, Kalia was really the only of her children she was still speaking to. "Whatever works huh?" Kalia said as she used a pen to pick up the lacey panty that was under the couch. "We can't keep living like this, between your sex addiction and my moping... we're going to lose this planet and no one will have to fire a single shot. Not as long as that bastard Jackson and that bitch K'n'zy are still alive." "Well, what's taking so damn long? No one can find them. Even after they assaulted Terra Alpha, they've gone off grid again." Julie said as she fingered the spot where Selene cut into her, even with the wound healed, she still felt it. "I want those two dead, I want to string their lifeless corpses on the front fence for all to see. I want to piss on their bodies and and... whatever else would be an ultimate insult." her hands shook and she slammed her hand onto the desk. "So... maybe we should work with Terra Alpha... they want them too." Kalia said and dropped a case on Julie's desk. "No, we need to... what's that?" Julie said and then noticed the case. "My files. My IDs, everything." Kalia said as she pulled off the ring from her finger. "I wanted you to know, I'm leaving. I can't... I can't stay here. Not knowing if Jackson is going to control us or our friends or... I felt that little bitch in my head too. I never want to feel that again." she put the ring that identified her as part of the Imperium on the case. "Since you said no to working with Terra Alpha, I'm taking your wishes out of the equation." she tapped her wrist. "Good bye mother." "Kalia... no... please... don't... don't go." Julie pleaded, dropping to her knees and reaching out to her. "Only way I come back is once those two are dead." Kalia said and sighed. "Don't try to look for me." she said as a transporter beam took her away. Julie broke down in tears as she replayed the whole incident in her mind, that blank look on Selene's face, like she was some kind of robot... cutting into her flesh... beating her daughter. Then it struck her. Who better to find Jackson and K'n'zy but the woman who was being controlled by them? She was sure they were going to be hunting them too... and she could count on the Alliance trying to take them alive. But she knew Selene would ensure they were dead. For good this time. -- Kalia sat aboard her shuttle and cried as she looked out the window and saw Earth, possibly for the last time. She was now a defector and she pretty much shot down any hope of keeping her former career. But that was over now... all that remained was getting to safety. The course was set for Terra Alpha... she only hoped they wouldn't shoot her down on sight. |

Kalia's leaving had left Empress Lei pretty well shattered. Declaring a week long Empire wide holiday, she retreated to a safe house. Julie couldn't even get her son Kaikoa to answer her calls. Although Kai rarely answered the comm when she was drunk. Which she was very much so. For the first day away from it all, she didn't even put on clothes, just wore a chameleon mask, one of the few working pieces of AlphaTek gear that she still had. Gave herself a face that wouldn't immediately tip anyone off that she was the Empress. Leaving some of her top advisors in charge, she had to get away for a little while and numb herself. The safe house was in the middle of New York city, a place she thought she could possibly lose herself for a little while in. The condo highrise was safe and there were a lot of small clubs and other places she could spend time, feed her addictions. Julie stood in front of a full length mirror, the face staring back wasn't her own, she ran her hands over her body. For a woman her age, she was in excellent shape, toned, firm where it needed to be. Her latest cloned body was still only physically in its late 20s. Although it still bore a few scars that she self inflicted on herself to resemble her natural body. There were times when she missed Tiberius. When she missed Nick Ryder. When she missed being part of a couple, having a partner. Walking over to a dresser she pulled out a pair of earrings and bracelets, a couple of long necklaces and then pulled out a flirty looking little black dress that hugged her curves like a second skin. She didn't bother wearing anything under it. Sliding on a pair of shiny patent leather spike heeled pumps she posed in front of the mirror. Fixing her hair up and spritzing herself with perfume. The mask already made up her face, so she didn't have to worry about it running or budging. Her personal guard were still guarding a barely functional decoy in her quarters. So she was entirely on her own. The thrill of going out again, alone, and with the intention on getting wasted and bringing at least one guy up to her condo was intoxicating. She knew she was clearly putting out pheromones as pretty much every man she passed once she got to the club was looking at her. The music was loud and thumping, the lights were wild and pulsating, the crowd was electric. As much as she loved her role as Empress of the Imperium, the assault on the White House and the personal attacks had robbed her of much of her enthusiasm. Although all those worries started to drift once the cocktails started and she got on the dance floor. She wasn't Empress Julie Lei, she was just 'Julie', she was back in her twenties again, single, free... hot as hell as she knew it. There were times during her marriage to Nick that she really regretted getting married so young. And once she had merged with her mirror reality self, that feeling grew stronger. He never realized that she slept around quite a bit under disguise while on missions. Always used protection but she enjoyed being someone else for a little while. It didn't take her too long to find a couple of guy who wanted to 'party' with her. They bought her drinks, danced with her and it wasn't too long before they found themselves heading up to the condo. If only they knew they were going to be fucking the Empress of the Imperium. The most powerful woman in the Quadrant was wearing no underwear and was looking to get laid. No strings attached. Hours later -- after the two men had sated her thirst, she lied and told them she had a good time, that she'd love to see them again. But she would never call them. They were familiar now, and she didn't want familiarity. Even as the three of them went until the sunrise, doing every position three drunk people could manage, she had no intention on seeing them again. And so that was how her week went - wake up, change, look at herself in the mirror for a little while. Shower, eat. Go out. Drink, dance, screw. Repeat. Every night was a different man or men. Every night was always a slightly different woman. |

After months of destabilizing the Imperium, freeing undocumented POWs and in general causing righteous chaos on Earth, Arisu had decided to take a break. The attack on the White House had made it far easier for her to get closer to her big sister and when she heard through her sources that she declared this week long holiday she knew what was up. Julie was doing what she did best, hiding in plain view. It really didn't take her too long to figure out where she was. Frequenting the types of clubs and lounges she knew Julie enjoyed, she saw a few women that could possibly be her, but under a chameleon mask. Then one of her "Eggheads" came up with a way to detect its use. She found Julie at a club, in disguise of course. It was one of those dark clubs that people basically went to when they wanted to get good and drunk and go home with someone they didn't know. It was seedy, it was loud and she knew she could finally confront her sister once and for all. Julie had managed to get some guy interested in her, because she was leading him toward one of the private booths. She worked faster than she realized because by the time Arisu had caught up to them, she already had his pants unzipped and hand her hand on his junk. "A little small for you, eh sis?" Ari said as she walked over to the private booth. Her long black hair flowed over her shoulders and the light, flimsy top she wore over a leather skirt and high boots. "Reminds me of Yang Chen from High School." "Wh... oh shit." Julie said as she turned around and put him back inside his pants. "What the fuck are you doing here?" "Looking for you." Ari said and cocked her head as she snapped her fingers. "Scram little man." "You can join us pretty lady." he said with a slurred voice. "Nah, I don't think so." Ari deadpanned. "Have a drink on me." she tossed him a cred chip and he scurried when he saw her knife in her boot. "So... how the mighty have fallen. Beejs in a dark club... and you used to call me the family slut." "Shut up Ari." Julie sighed and hit her head against the back of the booth. "How'd you know it was me?" "Please... give me some credit and your mask gives off a unique energy signature, one of my boys came up with a way of finding out if someone was using one." Ari pulled off her glasses. "So you going to kill me?" Julie said as she took a sip of her drink. "Why? You want me to do it? I mean... you kinda deserve it, but no I'm not here to kill you." Arisu said and grabbed Julie's drink and took a long sip. "What the hell is going on? You get attacked at the White House, you pretty much retreat and run. Seriously...? You're making the Alliance look good. What's going on lady?" Julie just looked at her 'little' sister and shook her head. "I have no idea... and for me... that's a new thing." |

Julie just looked off into nowhere. "I... think I'm losing my mind. Ever since my counterpart somehow figured out how to transfer herself into an LMD and fucked off somewhere, what little of 'her' was left and what was me is just... all screwed up." she sighed and groaned from the way she hit her head against the back of the booth. "That attack... it was so brutal, so... unlike anything I've ever seen. They just stroll in like no big deal... my people are dropping like flies because somehow K'n'zy has this power. Selene kills the rest with her bare hands. They didn't fire a single shot. Then... then... Jackson has her carve a big X on my chest, tells me that he wants me to pull my own heart out with my bare hands. Has Selene beat my daughter Kalia with her own prosthetic leg..." she took the drink back and skulled it. "Now Kalia defected to the Alliance. I... can't. I'm just... and then they killed Kinsey's entire Intelligence agency that I set up." "Yeah that's kind of why I came... they were looking for us, got pretty close too and then nothing." Ari said and looked at her watch. "Listen... I'm running out of time here." she looked at her sister and pointed her finger. "Get shit back under control... don't go all Nazi on things and maybe I'll see what I can do about getting some of the POWs that we had freed put back to work here on planet getting things back under control." "So I hunt for you for months... and then you just show up. God that's so typical you." Julie laughed and smiled at the thought. "I know I'm really drunk and sexually frustrated right now... but I miss what we used to have. I miss the old team." "Not my fault it dissolved. You were dissolving the Federation around our ears." Ari said and stood up. "Just... get things rolling properly again... and I may MAY forgive you." |

"I may not forgive myself, how can I ask you to forgive me?" Julie said and gave her a look. "So are you really giving ME orders? Eh baby sister?" "Not really orders, more like... dose of reality." Arisu replied and crossed her arms. "You can't honestly sit there and tell me that you're actually happy. Of course I have never seen you really happy. Ever. Not with Nick. Not with your children. Oddly enough the only... fragment of happy I've ever seen is when you're being a spy and even then, you scare the shit out of me." "I scare you?" "You should be scaring yourself. There's a word for people like you... sociopath." Arisu took a breath. "Look... if you think running the Federation... Imperium whatever the fuck this is now, then fucking run it. Fucking get your head out of your ass, treat people with some damn respect and run things. Like you always have. Otherwise..." Julie rolled her eyes and looked into her empty glass. "Arisu... shut up." she said coldly and fired a weapon from under the table that hit Arisu in the stomach. "Ack... what... was..." Ari said as she swooned and passed out in the bench. Scooting over she reached into Ari's pockets and pulled out her weapons and put them in her own pockets. "So... run things?" she pressed a hypospray against her neck. "I have a better idea..." she tapped a small stud on her bracelet. "This is Queen... I have Pawn. Pick it up." |

Hours later -- Arisu woke up half naked on a beach in the middle of Brazil with a note pinned to her bikini top "Next time I beam you into a volcano." "Bitch." Ari muttered and looked around. It was the middle of the night and she saw the police patrol coming down the beach, probably to roust any vagrants. Without anything handy, a weapon or even a cred card on her, she was pretty sure she'd spend a night in a jail cell and she was wanted. So she ran as fast as her bare feet would take her until she found a vacation shack that was locked for the season. Using her newfound Iljuna powers, she was able to force the door open and duck inside before the patrol came by. Sensing no one was around she felt confident enough to use the shack as a temporary shelter. Feeling a little bad at raiding the owner's closets for clothes, she felt a bit better once she had pants, a shirt and a pair of sandals. Hacking the small communications terminal she sent a message to Ja'Larin. "It's Me... trace it." |
