The courtroom was abuzz with reporters and television crews, all hoping to catch a glimpse of the famous robotic family.
Today was the day Sutton was going to put on his defense. Michael and Julie both would be key witnesses.
They arrived at the courthouse about a half-hour before the trial was to start and everyone ferried into a conference room to prepare.
"Julie, I'm going to put you on the stand first." Sutton told her. "We're going to go through a timeline at how you two met, and the culmination of your lives together."
"Clark is going to do everything he possibly can to poke holes in everything you do," he continued.
"What about me?" asked Michael.
"You probably won't go on until tomorrow or the next day." he said. "And Clark is going to try to have a field day with you. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't pull any stunts."
"I can take him." Michael replied.
"I wouldn't be so certain. Frankly, I'm afraid to put you on the stand, but I have no choice. I wouldn't be surprised if Clark doesn't try and destroy you right there on the stand."
"But isn't the goal to prove that Mike, Becky, and Chip are alive?" asked Julie.
"Yes and no," he replied. "Our goal is to prove to the court that the three of you are more similar to me and everyone else than different."
A knock was next heard coming from the door and Sutton quickly walked over to answer it.
"They're almost ready," a uniformed man told him.
"Thanks." Sutton replied. "We better get going."
Julie, Michael, Becky, and Chip followed Sutton across the hall and into the courtroom.
"We're rooting for you, man," the uniformed man whispered to Michael as he left the room.
The courtroom was packed, and had quickly become standing room only to those spectators that had arrived late. Michael, Chip, Becky, and Sutton sat down at the defendant's table and awaited for the court to begin.
"All rise!" the court-officer called out. "This is civil-case number USC-11-4427 for the U.S. District Court, Northern Georgia Division; in the matter of The People vs. Michael Collins, Becky Carson, and Chip Carson; automatons, for the purpose of determining citizenship and legal-status within the United States of America. The Honorable, Judge Judy Swaggert presiding."
"Is the Defense ready?" Judge Swaggert asked.
"We are, your honor," Sutton replied, standing to his feet.
"Proceed."
"Defense calls Julie Collins to the stand."
Julie approached the stand from the witness box and took her seat. "Do you swar or affirm that the testimony you are about to give shall be the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth; so help you God?" asked the clerk.
"I do."
"Be seated."
"Mrs. Collins," Sutton asked approaching her, "For the record, please state your full name, occupation, and education."
"Julia Elizabeth Collins, Project Manager for Datatronics Corporation. I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from UC-Berkeley."
"And what is your relation to the Defendant, Michael Collins?"
"He's my friend, lover, confidente, and husband."
"Objection!" Clark called out. "No state recognizes a marriage with a machine."
"Not yet," Julie interjected, drawing a round of laughter from the gallery.
Judge Swaggert was not amused at the sudden loss of decorum within her courtroom. Banging her gavel, she sustained the objection. "Strike the words 'and husband' including the witness' ensuing commentary from the record."
"You're close to Michael, aren't you?" asked Sutton.
"Yes."
"How long have you known him?"
"We met about three years ago – at a Piggly Wiggly in Anaheim."
"And you've been together ever since?" he asked.
"Pretty much."
"Did you notice anything odd about him after you met him?"
"Not really." she started to say. "He never got sick, but that was about it."
"And what has your relationship been like?"
"Up until this year, pretty much normal." she said. "We had our ups and downs. We fought maybe once in a blue moon."
"Did you consummate your relationship?" asked Sutton.
"Oh yeah," she replied laughing. "Over and over."
Judge Swaggert reacted to the sudden outburst of laughter by pounding her gavel once but didn't say anything.
"Is he a good lover?"
"The best."
"Is he a good friend?"
"Absolutely."
"Ms. Collins, to paraphrase you stated up until this year your relationship was normal." Sutton stated. "What happened that caused your relationship to suddenly become abnormal?"
"Well, I wouldn't use the word abnormal. We adapted."
Michael Collins Revelations Imagine if you would that up until this point everything you knew about reality was tossed out the window. Grass, the sky, the warmth of the sun's rays hitting your face. You've thought, until this point, that your life was in order. Everything was the way it was supposed to be. 2+2=4, grass is green, the sky is predominantly blue. Red means stop, and green means go. If you're living in Atlanta, or Los Angeles, then yellow probably means go very fast. Think...
Guest chapter written by DB_Story Author's Note: This chapter was inspired, and written by, David B. While Becky may appear, and act, like any normal 17 year-old girl, and even successfully engage in sex; Becky had a problem, which she didn't even realize. It appeared, in Dr. Carson's haste to finish assembling his two android children, that he forgot to attach several wires inside Becky. Crucial to her sexuality, these wires controlled certain aspects of her physiology, and relayed...
Welcome to the spérmatos chazí or as the people call it Sperzi. A world entirely filled with shemales. A society build around sex and pleasure though you are not of this world. It was long ago that you died and thought that you finally was able to get some peace though your fate was not peace yet. A great scientist in Sperzi has managed to capture your soul and trap it in his newest android. The collection of your soul had been long and tedious but now it was done. Let's take a look at the...
TranssexualTwenty minutes had passed while Sutton tried to prepare Michael as quickly as possible for his upcoming testimony. Unfortunately, the time went by too quickly for them before the court officer knocked on the door letting them know court was about to resume. One by one, everyone flowed back into the courtroom and remain seated until the Judge returned. Julie was instructed to re-take the stand as court was again called to order. "Your honor, at this time I have no further questions for...
Michael discovers for the first time that he's not alone in this Universe. Unbeknownst to him, Dr. Carson had been working on two additional androids, designed to look, act, and be teenagers. "Hey," he said, greeting them. "So what's the emergency?" Michael sat down next to Julie at the dining room table. "The man you know as Dr. Carson ceased to function at 5:44am this morning," the boy said. "We were instructed before-hand to come to this address," the girl said. He...
Becky and Chip have both been exploring their sexuality over the past several days. While none of the androids have been programmed specifically for sex, they did find pleasure and comfort with being in the presence of other individuals, along with certain stimulus that companionship provided. Michael continued to drive around Atlanta thinking about the world around him. Several hours into his drive, he glanced down at his dashboard and noticed the fuel gauge in his car was almost empty,...
Part 1: The Demonstration "He got the idea from the story of Snow White," MzDominica explained, waving one hand over the glass coffin. It was on a platform and tilted at an angle of forty-five degrees, so the man inside had his head higher than his mistress continued. "A sensory-deprivation chamber... without light, without sound, without feeling, taste, or smell -- except what I put in -- but on exhibit for everyone to see and enjoy." A woman had just entered the exhibit room, having followed...
FetishTwo weeks had past since Athena joined him and Chloe. The two weeks Tom had with Chloe was nothing compared to the two weeks with both girls. Athena had a dominate personality in bed towards Chloe, and Chloe was submissive to Athena. Both were, of course, submissive when Tom fucked them, but Chloe’s was to a greater extent. He also set them to fuck even when he wasn’t there. It was insanely hot to watch Athena come up behind Chloe to grope her out of the blue, to walk into the living room and...
Our story begins to take off with one man, Michael Collins, who because of no fault of his own, wakes up one morning only to discover that his reality has been turned upside down. He, in fact, is an android. Up until this point, Michael had assumed that his entire life was real. He had a good job, a loving girlfriend, and good friends. But who was to tell him how much of it was real? Waking up that fateful day, Michael discovered something which was absolutely real to him. He was...
Put yourself in Michael's shoes. How would you feel? Standing before you, not more than 10 feet, is your God. Your maker. The man who conceived of you and brought your existence into this world. Michael was understandably nervous and full of emotions, no matter how synthetic those emotions might be. "Michael," he said proudly. "Let him in Jules," he said. Julie opened the door and invited him in. Dr. Carson walked towards his prodigy, but instinctively Michael took a step back, a...
As mentioned earlier, being an android does have its advantages. One of the prime advantages is being able to be made better if the opportunity should afford itself. Dr. Carson wanted to do just that for his eldest child, and Michael would soon discover that he's been given even more unique and special abilities as a result of it. However, would these new-found abilities end up being a blessing or a curse? Only time will tell. Michael awoke to find himself standing upright and naked,...
Some of Michael's new abilities were beginning to take hold as he was slowly trying to regain some normality back into his life. Having remote access to one's psyche may prove to be more of a curse than a blessing, however. Fortunately for us humans, that aspect is not likely to become probably for a significant future. Although, being able to call one's significant other from one's built-in cellphone to see when he or she is coming home from dinner would be extremely cool. "Get...
Several months had passed since Chip and Becky joined Michael, and Julie in their home in Alpharetta. Michael and Julie finished out their basement so Chip had a room to himself, and Becky took the guest bedroom upstairs. On the home front, Michael was now Manager of Development Operations at Datatronics, after getting Scott fired; albeit accidentally, by patching his monitor and keyboard into the executive conference room. When the board members were having a meeting discussing...
What is an android to do that's got a kilogram of food just sitting around in their body? Get rid of it, somewhow. That aside, Michael's reservation about Chip and Becky attending school may have been warranted. Sex-crazed physical education teachers (which is no wonder considering how sexually repressed Georgia is – it is against the law in that state to give or receive a blowjob, by the way.) But all in all it was a pretty good day. Becky and Chip made two very nice friends. Will they...
Julie met up with Michael back at their hotel room since his house and bank accounts, in fact all of his assets, were frozen by the Governmnet pending the outcome of this case, the two didn't have much of a place to stay anymore. Besides, the hordes of reporters and photographers were making both of their lives miserable. She and Michael were being interviewed that evening in their hotel suite by ABC's 20/20, so it was no wonder the two of them quickly got undressed as they entered their...
The next morning, Tom took out his frustration by having Sansa deep throat him on the living room couch. He did not expect Zoe to come into view as Sansa sucked him off. He also did not expect her to only have on underwear and a bra. She stood beside the couch staring at the scene not saying a word. She seemed to be a million miles away. Tom cleared his throat and Zoe snapped away from her thoughts. “Hey, Tom,” she said. I guess I was only Daddy for that one moment. He didn’t say that aloud...
I am a 50 year old married woman with three sons. I am an Indian American, born and bred in USA . My hubby, an Arab American, is 10 years older than me. We got married when I was 21 and my hubby 31. Both have conservative family background. My hubby is of a very loving nature. I am far more conservative than him. For the last five years or so we have had a fairly routine sex life. Lately, however, my hubby seems to be becoming hornier. He has started to indulge, and induce me too into...

Michael awoke to find his arms and legs removed, and suspended by two rubber straps in a large and emtpy room with high ceilings. His entire chest had been removed, and looking down he could see a myriad of wires connected to various components which all fed into a terminal on a mobile cart which was in front of him. Across the room, he could see Chip and Becky lying on two tables. "Help!" he cried out. He wasn't sure how, but he was relieved that his old voice was now back. "Help!" he...
Baker and Jaeger ran into the hangar where their ships were parked, quickly donning their flight suits and helmets as the Valbarans made their way over to their camouflaged lander. By the time the two humans were climbing into their cockpits and running their engine checks, the Valbaran spaceplane was already taxiing towards the runway. Jaeger taxied outside, his HUD flashing as it showed him the system status. The Beewolf hadn’t been refueled, but they had more than enough gas to get into...
"I am still not sure about this," Endre complained. "I don't trust these pods?" Alma Jespersen, the captain of the H.T.M. Florette, chuckled. "Don't worry. These auto-docs are the quite safe and sophisticated. We don't have time to fatten up your unhealthy male body in time. That means you got to use the auto-doc. I also need to adjust your body. It needs to be able to blend better in." "Is that really necessary?" Endre wanted to know. "Of course it is. You have to decide young...
As an employee of Venus Robotics, you're used to being around androids. You help design them, you work alongside them, and even find some of the female models to be quite attractive. The irony of it is that you don't make nearly enough money to purchase one for yourself. Then, one day, you receive a letter from your employers. It reads: Dear Sir, After carefully evaluating your qualifications and your impeccable record of service, the R&D Department would like to invite you to assist us in the...
An einem Frühsommer Abend irgendwo in einer grossen Stadt. Der Tag war sonnig und warm gewesen und es ist gerade dunkel geworden. Es ist ein heruntergekommenes Viertel in dem sich niemand zu sehr dafür interessiert ob gerade irgendwo etwas ungewöhnliches passiert. Alte Häuser, dreckig und verfallen bilden eine heruntergekommene Strasse deren Laternen schon seit Jahren kein Licht mehr spenden. Aus einer kleinen dunklen Gasse tritt eine junge Frau. Sie sieh wie etwa 20 aus, ist 1,72 m gross und...
"I can now understand what you mean by training, Yamcha." 18 said as they walked into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with their equipment. After the Tournament of Power, Yamcha had suggested to 18 that the two could start training if they were to face a threat that had the power of Jiren that was in this universe and 18 agreed. They decided to train in the Chamber in real time for 30 minutes which gave them a week to properly train inside the chamber. After waiting until the clock had reached...
Mind ControlWe find Michael in another predicament. Human males enjoy the luxury that their bodies are designed for reproduction. Day and night, the human male's body is constantly creating sperm, and prostatic fluid to help propel the sperm to an awaiting egg. It's the most basic of human instincts, the will to reproduce. Androids, on the other hand, don't have such luxuries. Mechanical in nature, their bodies are designed not for reproduction, but for other tasks. Not having a prostate, or...
Not for the first time that day, or that week, Amy Imahara wondered how she'd gotten in this mess. As she looked over the command center staff, sitting tense and alert at their consoles, her mind was drawn back to the meeting with her husband's clone, and the rest of the Education Council. It had been Rebecca Lott who had made the offer. "Of the persons with military experience, you show the most aptitude for this assignment. Will you accept command of the planetary defense forces?"...
Chapter 8 - To Hold Strongly - It's probably a good idea to go back to Ohio, a chance to clear my thoughts, find out where I am, and lessen reminders of unpleasant things here in LA. I've had a wonderful time over these almost three years with Jillian, and in that time I've been able to put decent amount of money away as I've had few large expenses out here, my prescriptions being the most continuously expensive thing - which I will never give up! I won't be able to survive for a...
Thomas Evergreen sat alone in his little corner of the world. He lived on a hundred acres of land, uninhabited except for him. He was an only child, never married, and never had any children. His parents had passed away years ago and he had no other relatives, except for a few distant ones that he shunned. They were only after his parent’s wealth after all. The mansion and property were worth millions upon millions to the right buyer or inheritor. At 42 years old, Tom wasn’t likely to have...
Having Athena next to him was a great release. As soon as the two girls were out of sight, Tom sat on the couch. It was still warm from Chloe and Zoe’s asses. He brought his nude android down on his lap, but not sitting. He had Athena lay her stomach on his lap. Her head was facing down and her ass was up. Since his newest android would be coming sometime today, Tom didn’t want to blow his load inside her. But he needed to get rid of some of his pent-up frustration from not being able to take...
Michael was definitely in a predicament, now. For a machine that has no digestive system, no urinary tract, how could he be expected to give urine for a urinalysis which would prove that he wasn't consuming drugs? Michael couldn't help it, aware now of some of his abilities, that he was more productive than his human colleagues. He did have a plan, though, but the more he thought about it, the more disgusted he became. He and Arnie both entered his house, and Michael set his keys down...
Frought over his plan to pass the company-ordered urinalysis, Michael finished his preparations to head into work. Of course, while his idea even grossed him out, he could find no other way to satisfy what was going to be asked of him, and keep his secret alive. Michael got into work about 8 o'clock that morning and walked over to his desk. While he was booting up his computer, a man and a woman approached him from behind. "Mr. Collins?" the woman said. "Yes?" "I'm Janet...
When we're born, we're not given an instruction manual by our creator. We're required, if we want to stay alive, to figure a lot of things our for ourselves. Fortunately, through the trial and error of many men beofre us, history has taught some the way to mend our bodies should we suffer injury, or how to deal with an unueasy psychological situation. Michael, on the other hand, was unique. A single entity. There are no more like him which he can draw on past and present experiences. He...
An Intrinsic Knowledge Database are special sets of files within Michael which provide basic information. How to open a door, how to tie his shoes, that 2+2=4, grass is normally green, the sky is normally blue, and red means stop why green means go. Yellow, in this case does not necessarily mean go very fast. Julie, Chip, and Becky followed Michael downstairs to the basement. He positioned them both next to his worktable as he carefully removed their skull caps. Next, he picked up two...
"All rise!" the court-officer called out. "This is civil-case number USC-11-4427 for the U.S. District Court, Northern Georgia Division; in the matter of The People vs. Michael Collins, Becky Carson, and Chip Carson; automatons, for the purpose of determining citizenship and legal-status within the United States of America. The Honorable, Judge Judy Swaggert presiding." A graying, petite woman walked into the courtroom from a side door and made her way up the stairs to her bench....
The Exhibition [email protected] http://sammytriesagain.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-exhibition.html--Sammy had heard about the gallery from a friend of a friend, who had heard from someone else, and so on. In the end, she googled the name, and went to visit that Saturday. It was a small place in what looked like it was once a warehouse. Unfortunately, when she got there, the lights were off and the door was locked. As she was getting back into her car she heard someone call out from behind...
The Gadget Exhibition By Lisa B Lee saw an advert in the paper for a new Gadget Exhibition which was opening in his Hometown, Lee was mad for gadgets and so decided to dog off school to get to this exhibition which started at 9:00AM on Friday. After having breakfast and saying goodbye to his mum for the day, Lee headed towards the exhibition centre, just a short walk from the bus stop where he usually got the bus to school. On the way he tried to avoid being recognised as he passed...
Corvino's Defense of Homosexuality By Cal Y. Pygia Note: While it is true that not all transvestites are gay, many profess to be. In any case, this essay is likely to be of interest to many, regardless of their sexual orientation, and to members of the wider gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community, many of whom have gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender friends themselves. In his essay, "Why Shouldn't Tommy and Jim Have Sex?," which appears in Contemporary Moral...
Zen and the Art of Self Defense Chapter 2 - Take Down I look around my little apartment and for a moment, I get a bit emotional. I do that sometimes in the oddest of moments, it seems, but I try to control it and only when I'm alone, like now. This place has been my home and retreat for almost a year now, my first real place since I left my family. It took a while to get it looking right, and I was really expecting to be here for at least another year or so. Life sure does have...
Part 3 - Way of Harmony Chapter 7 - Counter Technique The story so far - After setting up doctor and therapist appointments leading to sex-reassignment surgery, Chrissy traveles back to her home with Jillian in tow to come out to her mother and brother. She shows Jillian the sights of northwestern Ohio (of which there really aren't all that many), who then returns to L.A. after a week. For the following week, Chrissy and her mother get to know one another better, ending with...
Ben awoke about two weeks after the day that came to be known as The Arrival... an innocent enough name for an event that caused mass panic. Suicide rates quadrupled within a week of the landing, and the death toll in the crash site alone was devastating- forty-thousand people dead. Not since the Third World War, twenty years prior in 2018, had so many lives been lost in a single event, for it wasn't the crash alone that took lives. After a day of sitting there, not making a motion, the...

The City Museum was hardly the equal of the Smithsonian but Aaron Rodwell, the museum's director, did try to put on exhibitions that would capture the popular imagination. One hundred and fifty years since the death of Hiram B. Heron was hardly the most important of anniversaries, he knew, but at least it was something to promote. And at least Rodwell knew he had come up with the ideal, eye-catching, centre piece to pull in the crowds. Maxine Connor, the museum's curator, probably wouldn't...

The shuttle latched onto one of the docking ports of the Enterprise directly, other shuttles attaching themselves to other docking ports or to the shipyard. Ben and Emily were lost in the confusion as they exited the craft, at least two hundred people filling a hangar meant for maybe fifty. The entirety of Dragon squadron followed them as well, nobody having any idea of where they were supposed to go. They all stumbled through the bay, tripping over people, and occasionally being shoved out...
Present: Bhavana was naked, spread-eagled on a king-sized bed in a five star hotel. The room was dimly lit and dead silent except for the grunts emanating from her mouth and the crunch of the mattress beneath as her chubby body rubbed against it. Her large, fleshy breasts stopped bouncing up and down in constant rhythm with the bed as the bearded man over her stopped thrusting his penis inside her sticky vagina. He was not her husband, nor a friend. In fact, she did not even know him! She...
Zen and The Art of Self Defense Introduction This is another of my non-magical, non sci-fi, non-chemical(unproven or exotic) transformations. Just a lingering suspicion on the part of our hero/ine and the observant eye of an interested party. This time, no force is being used either, but some interesting encounters occur. Again, how people interact with others and face up to their own problems, their inner demons, that dark place they are often afraid to admit to, are the themes...
Two Ghalerans walked down a sidewalk, heading towards a massive structure in the center of the Ghalera's primary city. The structure was the headquarters for the so-called Interstellar Defense League, a cover for a group of conquerors. Inside the headquarters was a prototype singularity generator, developed using stolen technology. "So what precisely do we do when we find that generator?" one of the 'Ghalerans' asked to the other mentally. "We initiate a micro-singularity and destroy...
The following day, the first Sunday in April, Jason Schmidt went home. For him, home was not the house in Wisconsin, nor was it really his dorm room in Chicago. Instead home was a feeling, which he could only experience when he was with Cecilia. He desperately wanted to be with her, and anxiously counted the mile signs along the freeway as his father drove him south. Jason, as usual, took a ride from his father. He felt guilty about accepting a ride from a man he had betrayed, but he really...
ExhibitionMy good friend opens a photo exhibition. And in a month its opening will take place. What kind of exhibition I did not know, but he intrigued me, he said it would be interesting to me.Time passed, and today is the discovery. In the morning I woke up around 10 in the morning. She threw a silk robe over her naked body, sauntered into the kitchen to make coffee. Coffee languishes on the stove, since today the day off in the cafe splashed liquor, and not a lot of spices. Having poured...
It’s largely up to the exhibitors as to what kind of event the BFA exhibition is. Les and I wisely chose to let the women decide. As a result, the two of us stood side-by-side in the guest bath downstairs as we worked on tying our formal bowties. I had to admire the way Les had filled out and matured over the three-plus years we’d been friends. When we first met, he was a scrawny, frightened kid trying not to be noticed amidst a school conflict. We were a lot alike. I remember thinking that...
More Exhibitions(Growing Up Frolic)As I got older, my desire to display my body grew to an incredible lust. I took every opportunity to expose myself slyly in every imaginable situation. At my age, my treasure was fully visible. The fine blonde pubic hair was virtually unnoticeable except from very close, but from a distance, only my puffy labia with its tiny pink slit stood out.When my fingers rubbed its length and tickled my little clit, it openrf like a flower in the morning, exposing the...
It was a warm day. The sun beamed down through a cloudless sky on most of the city and the building shadowed the busy streets as I made my way to the gallery across the river. A slight breeze teased at my skin and in the shade you could really feel the cold air. My supervisor had asked me to cover the new art exhibitions opening as the writer it was assigned to had been delayed in France after his long weekend away. “You look like the arty type!” Richard said when he had given me the brief. “I...
Oral SexHi story lovers, My name is AN ( cannot reveal full name for obvious reasons) 31 years old and married to girl who is 26 now. I am working in Riyadh and my wife lives with me here. We have been happily married since last 4 years. I will straight away come to the incident; our sex life was great, we were having sex daily; some days it goes up to twice or thrice also.

It was only the third day of the exhibition. Gregg was trying to appear nonchalant as he walked up to the ticket desk and paid his ten dollar entrance fee. He told himself that he was there because he was interested in Heron, but he knew the reason that he was really there. He was trying to work out how he might steal the emerald. But then he thought, "I'm not planning to steal it, simply to return it to its rightful owner, the heir to the Swami's world. Me." The exhibition was one that...
Chapter 5 - Entanglement Once we are seated in the car and heading out, I finally take a breath as Jillian keeps up a non-stop barrage of comments. "You look absolutely adorable, Chrissy. So natural, nobody will ever know. They'll see the same attractive young woman I'm seeing right now. I really enjoy going out like this. We can talk and gossip and I can dish on the other cast members and the crew. I'm going to have to get you into the studio. I'll have to get you a pass, of...
Zone Defense, written as Gavin E. BlackChapter OneNathan Kent wasn't thrilled with the idea of completing his final year of college at a completely different institution from where he'd started, but the opportunity to join one of the top varsity football teams had been too much of a temptation to pass up. The truth of the matter, Nathan was glad to have an excuse to move away. His last relationship had ended badly, and the thought of having to play a defensive position in conjunction with his...
Gay MaleBen walked into the mess hall, taking a seat in-between James and Ryan, directly across from Rebecca, Patricia and Steven. Noticing as he arranged his tray of mush beside that of his teammates that Rebecca's upper arm was heavily bandaged, he queried her as to what happened. "Nothing much," Rebecca said with a grimace, "just a G.E. that snuck up on me while I was blasting some missiles. The son of a bitch stabbed me through my bicep. Still hurts like hell, but that Ghaleran medical...
He stared in utter disbelief at the Council of Ten. "Pardon me?" Preliator asked in a harsh tone. "Exactly what do you mean by, 'we can't spare the resources?' We aren't talking about a god damned business deal here! In case you have forgotten, the particular topic of discussion is the Earth- a planet with intelligent beings living on it that is about to be attacked! Humanity is a pre-interstellar flight civilization, do you expect them to have the technology to fight effectively by...
