Darcy's and Caoilinn's Security teams quickly found the four ships fleeing the resort. They were traveling within sight of each other. Each appeared to be a luxury ship from the outside, but inside they were quite different.

The two teams were shocked by what was taking place on the rear deck of the first ship they approached. Kneeling by the outer wall were about 2 dozen people, mostly women, facing the center of the room. They were naked and wearing a collar, cuffs and high heeled shoes. Their metal collars were fastened by a short chain to the bulkhead. Another chain hung from the back of their collar and connected to their wrist and ankle cuffs. Several were crying, while others had fearful looks on their faces.

Toward the other end of the room were four headless bodies of three men and one woman hanging by their ankles. Under each was a tub containing their head. All four looked like they were in their late 40's. The sight thoroughly enraged the Security teams, Creidne and Fidelma. Caoilinn said, "Let's be cool and not rush in until we have a full picture."

Near the bodies were several people in a terse conversation with four others, apparently crew members. In the center of the room was a table with number of large, long butt plugs, breast halters, jaw spreaders, body jewelry, syringes, and drug containers, along with other items. Nearby was a small burner with two branding irons resting on it. In the same area was a bar about waist high with restraints positioned so a person could be held there while bent over it.

While they were watching, the tension in the group talking with the crew seemed to have eased. Darcy said, "They are outside US territorial waters, but within Coast Guard Rescue range. So how do we want to handle this?"

Brid said, "I see three choices, after we rescue the victims. We can give those in charge the treatments they planned for those they were going to sell, and let the ships continue toward Africa. Cause the ships to sink. Or put those left on board to sleep and turn the ships back toward US, then notify the Coast Guard. Personally I like the latter, as the members would then be known to law enforcement."

"I think all of us like the first choice," said Caoilinn. "But I agree, the best choice is the last."

Abbie said, "We go in cloaked and stun everyone not restrained. Once they are down we uncloak, and release those restrained."

"What if some of those restrained are members or were guests at the resort?"

"Before we uncloak let's telepathically evaluate them."

"That will take time," said Caoilinn, "so let's take over all four ships before we do anything else."

"Creidne and I will sort those who are restrained," said Fidelma. "It will likely be easier for us to evaluate them."

"We think you've made a wise decision," added Creidne.

"We will need two more shuttles," said Darcy. "Wouldn't it be wise for James or Clarence to alert the authorities to the fact that there were ships at the dock?"

"Yes," said Cochrann. "When I contact FOC, I will query Command Staff as to whether the authorities know of the ships."

"Okay," said Caoilinn, "let's hit all four ships at the same time."

Once on the ships, they quickly stunned anyone not restrained and then searched them to make sure they had everyone accounted for. During this, Creidne and Fidelma were able to determine which of those restrained were members. Some of those restrained were slaves of the members there, but didn't have a bond with their owner, so it was decided that they should be rescued. Those being left were stunned.

With the ships under their control, the Security teams dropped their cloaking, and removed their tac suit helmets. Their sudden appearance prompted gasps and some screams. Caoilinn said to those around her, "We've come to rescue you. You will be released momentarily, as we do the cuffs and collars will also be removed. First aid will be provided as necessary. Please be patient as we need to be careful in removing the restraints. We will not be able to offer any counter-treatment for the drugs they've given you at this time, but we will at our destination. When we leave, we can take you to one of two destinations. The resort is one, as it is now under the control of Federal Law Enforcement Officers, the alternative is an isolated island, where some of the resort companion staff are currently staying. There, our medical staff can offer treatments to counter the drugs and injuries you have received. We think it is a better choice. Since the island is isolated, you will have some time to think about what you want to do about your future. Actually, you could think about your future at either place. The advantage to the island is that there will be fewer distractions. Nearly all the Councilors and many of the society members are under arrest, or will be shortly."

While Caoilinn was speaking to those on one ship, other team members were giving a similar message to those on the other ships. After telling them what was about to happen, some of the Security team began releasing the men and women.

Creidne and Caoilinn identified the ship's captain on one ship, while Darcy and Fidelma did the same on another ship. They determined that the ships were operated by different slaver organizations. The intense discussion they had seen initially was about how much the members would have to pay the slavers in order to be released on reacing their destination. The four people died because they actively threatened the crew. The brutal murders were done as a warning to the others.

Once everyone was released a Security team member on each ship said, "In a few moments, an aircraft will hover over the deck and drop a rope ladder. Please carefully climb up the ladder. When you reach the top, there will be someone to help you inside." Just as the last word was spoken, two more shuttles arrived. They uncloaked and hovered near the edge of the upper deck of a ship. As soon as the ladders dropped, those leaving lined up. Two of them stabilized the ladder making it easier to climb, even so several people needed assistance getting up it.

Once all of those being rescued were on board the shuttles, a Security team member checked the autopilot settings of each ship. This was to make sure that it was on course and to get an estimate of the time before it would enter territorial waters. Those remaining on board were given a sufficient dose of their own sedative to keep them asleep until the Coast Guard arrived. With everything set, the remaining Security team members climbed up the ladders into the shuttles. As the doors closed, a flight of Star Fighters arrived. They would monitor the ships until they reached territorial waters then report them to the Coast Guard.

Abby, Darcy, Brid and Caoilinn were each on a different shuttle. Once the doors closed, the shuttles rose up and off to the side of the ships. "Ladies and gentlemen," said each to their respective groups, "we are going to the secluded island first. Anyone who wishes to go on to the resort, please stay on board, as we will make that our next stop. Any questions?" As they finished speaking, a screen in the front of the cabin came to life, showing the interior of the other three shuttles.

"Thank you for giving us our voices back, but I am puzzled," said a man in the shuttle with Abby, "as to why you are doing this. If we go back to the resort, we will soon be forced to be someone's sexual plaything. The organization behind it has some very powerful friends, and the Councilors are extremely ruthless. You say that if we go to this island, we get to decide our future. How do we know that is true? You say the island is isolated. What is to keep you from turning us into your property? I know the last two questions probably don't make much sense, when you consider you asked us what we wanted to do. But, your offer is almost too good considering recent events."

"Let's be frank. You don't know that anything we said is true. The only guiding light you may have is your own instinct. Surviving as slaves or toys, weren't there times when it seem like you could sense what they wanted you to do or how they wanted you to act. Didn't you use that insight, in order to avoid their wrath? Why not use that sense or insight now?"

"I am!" responded a woman, "and I am going to the island. However, I am not sure I believe all I've heard but I am willing to take a chance. I believe I am better off now than before you arrived." Several in each shuttle nodded their heads.

"It will take us about 30 minutes to reach the island. During the trip, let me tell you a few things about ourselves and the island. Our island is a clothing-optional location. Whether you adopt a no clothes mode of dress is entirely up to you. We want you to do what you are comfortable with. There, you will have the opportunity to have a complete physical by our medical team. We strongly recommend that you do so. Once the physical is done, they will go over the results with you, along with an assessment of your long term health. They will also provide you with recommendations relating to any corrective treatments you need to maintain your quality of life. Remember, however, that all the choices are yours."

"Who are you?"

"That is a difficult question to answer in the short time we have. We would like to postpone fully answering that question until this evening. Why don't each one of us introduce ourselves, my name is Brid." With that, all the Security team members, in turn, introduced themselves.

As they traveled to the island, several others asked questions about what had happened at the resort. The security team members took turns answering questions. By the time they were near the island, the group had begun to relax. The Security team members noted to each other that they could sense their guests' fear of the future easing.

Creidne said to the Security teams, "You all did very well. Many times what you would like to do is not the best choice. Now those on the ships will wonder for the rest of their lives where everyone went. The slavers will have a difficult time explaining to their organization what happened, if given the chance. It is our suspicion that they will not have the chance. Only those with us know we were involved."

"Thank you for joining us," responded the teams. "You are welcome to join any adventure we go on."

"Thanks. There will be more."

During the afternoon, the rest of Nancy's Clan joined Susan and Alice on Frank's island. Several other clans came with them. Sarah's Clan had asked them to visit with the new guests as they thought these clans could be of assistance to them. Due to the taboos regarding sexual relations on Earth they were concerned about how the guests would deal with the knowledge of having been sexual companions to anyone who asked.

Many of those making the trip to Frank's Island had positions on Dóchas that would let them contribute remotely. By doing this, the clans could continue the needed work, while helping the guests adjust to the change in their situation.

Several other clans were asked to spend some time on Comrie, socializing with the new guests, to help them adjust to what had happened and to plan their future, for the same reason.

–-- –-- –--

That evening, on Comrie, when Sue and Irene went to get James and Clarence for dinner, they couldn't get them to leave their office. Both were ecstatic over the progress they were making on the case, and were hesitant to stop. Briana asked some of Sarah's Clan to come assist.

Sally, Terry and Alison arrived shortly. They were surprised to find 6 Security team members assisting, instead of just the two they had thought were there. Briana saw her unasked question and said, "The two we started with initially just weren't enough, once the Attorney General got involved."

"What?"

"Yes, the Attorney General. The President told him to supply James and Clarence with anything they needed to get the twerps off the street."

"It was a welcome change," said James. "But, not without some peril if we inadvertently let the wrong people know what is being prepared, where we were getting our information, etc. So, based on our connections, we went to some of the other US District Attorneys for assistance. We have them putting the cases together in the required format, with us supplying the critical information. We have made great headway. The other advantage is that each of these cases will be credited to the relevant office, making the effort much more focused. Evidence packets will be sent to our law enforcement agents in foreign countries late tonight, for delivery to their counterparts. They already have the information informally, and have already shared it. Once we start our arrests here, we will formally release the information to those countries' law enforcement. We are taking this approach because we don't know what connections the Councilor's have in other countries. Our approach is not ideal, but we think it is best, considering the cards we have to play."

"How are you transporting the evidence packets overseas?" said Sally.

"That is a bit of a problem, because, in many cases, we need to give them written documents. The way it is now those documents will not arrive until late morning in Europe."

"Why don't we use Security teams? That would push out the deadline until 11 PM. Your assistants can make the arrangements."

"Thanks."

"I must say, this is the best group of assistants I have ever worked with," said Clarence. "They have anticipated every one of our needs, and in some cases, given us stuff to answer our questions before we said anything. It was amazing." Briana, the other Security team members, Sally, Terry and Alison all grinned, as they knew how that was done. "What's so funny?"

"James, Clarence, they are telepathic, besides having exceptional logic skills."

"We are pleased you liked our assistance," said the group.

"They can read our minds?" A blush slowly spread over James' and Clarence's faces as they remembered some of their thoughts while working with the semi-nude assistants.

"James, Clarence, we appreciated your thoughts about our looks and our minds. Thank you," said the six Security team members together. The others in the room laughed, as they blushed even more.

"Let's go eat. We have some more information to share with you this evening. Our systems will alert us if you are needed in here," said Alison. With that, they left for dinner. James walked between Sam and Sue, with their arms around each other. Clarence walked between Karmen and Irene, with Kelsey very close, holding her dad's hand behind Karmen.

"Good evening," said Sarah's Clan, as the group arrived, "tonight, after dinner, we want to tell you about ourselves, using the presentations we promised this morning. The group at the other location will be joining us for the presentations. Okay, let's eat."

As they ate, James and Clarence told Sarah's Clan that the group who went to the president to get them fired were now under arrest and being held in isolation. Clarence said that he understood it was the first time a President had used the panic button to summon his Secret Service agents.

James continued, "Right after the situation in the President's office settled down, the Attorney General called, wanting me in Washington immediately for a briefing. He was shocked and outraged at what was done to the people in those videos. Both he and the President were extremely pissed that some of the perpetrators worked in key government positions. We told him that we wouldn't go to Washington as it was too risky, and used your reasoning. After some discussion he agreed, but he wasn't particularly happy. We then suggested that we revisit the idea of coming to Washington in a few days as they should have a better idea of the risks. A video conference is scheduled for Wednesday, to update him on the case, and it will include all the USDA's offices taking a lead on the cases allocated to them. We told him there were at least two managers in his office working for the Councilor's group and that they were, perhaps, members. We suggested that he at least consider putting them under surveillance or better yet, detaining them. We indicated that there could be several more that fit into the same category.

"We also let him know that we thought there were more copies of the videos finding their way to media offices. I think that is the first time I've ever heard him swear. We suggested that he consider asking the newspapers to hold off for a day or two before they said anything. We pointed out that he would probably get their cooperation if he promised to release them from the embargo once the first round of arrests were completed, and gave them a special briefing."

The video had just arrived when the journalists called their editors. Once they had assured them that they were safe, they'd asked them not to run any articles before they talked to James. They had assured the editors that, contrary to what was implied in the video, all four of them were well, and still had all their bits. When Marge's editor had called back, he was livid and ready to do anything necessary to 'make those people pay'.

The four journalists had spent some time on the phone with their editors, using the conference room for the call, and part-way through the video link had been enabled. The journalists had given both editors a thumbnail sketch of the rescue, without disclosing any details. In closing, the group had said that they were at the same location as James and Clarence. They figured it was safer there than at home, seeing as current information indicated disposal contracts had been issued for them. The editors had both agreed that staying there was a good idea. They discussed the idea of doing personal interest stories on some of those rescued, with the names changed of course. As the journalists would have exclusive coverage from where they were, the editors had been agreeable to the same working arrangement as before.

"James, would you tell everyone, what you just told us?" asked Sarah, with several others nodding their agreement. "Remember, we are isolated here, so what you say will stay here. I think, if you ask, they won't say anything until you okay it anyway, plus we won't be setting up phone access for them until sometime late tomorrow."

"Sure."

Joyce stood, saying, "If you will clean up your tables, we can get started." Everyone pitched in to clear-up from dinner and wipe the tables. "Remember, it could be your elbow in the remains on the table tomorrow." Several laughed in response to her comment.

–-- –-- –--

Rusty stood at the front of the room and waited for everyone to get settled. "I take it everyone had enough to eat." Several nodded their heads in agreement. "We hope you have had a relaxing day. The medical staff has told us that all of you are in excellent health. There are some long term health issues related to the treatments you received at the resort. You will have the choice of several options in dealing with them. Tomorrow, the medical staff will be at each location to review the results of your physicals with you. Please bear in mind that they would not wait till tomorrow if any issues required immediate attention. Hmm ... Probably could have said that better." A few chuckled.

"We have an addition to this evening's agenda. James MacFarland and Clarence O'Toole are going to give you an update on what has happened today regarding the operators of the resort, also known as the Councilors."

"Hi, I'm James, and this gentleman with me is Clarence who heads a special task force out of my office. This morning, we mentioned that our families were with us. They are Sue, Sam for Samantha, Irene, Kelsey and Karmen." He motioned for them to stand as he mentioned their names. "Also rescued with us were four journalists, who have made many valuable contributions to our investigation into the 'flesh peddlers'. They have also written many excellent articles for their papers on this investigation. They are Marge, Evelyn, Fred and Chad. Their editors have realized it is safer for them to be here, and have asked them to continue covering the story from here.

"We have had a very interesting day. The US Attorney General called to advise us that the President was very anxious to have the organization behind the resort off the streets. They have essentially given us unlimited support in arresting and prosecuting these individuals, but, I'm getting ahead of myself.

"Thanks to our hosts, we have spent most of the day arranging to arrest everyone we can find that was involved in the Councilor's organization. Those arrests will begin at 4 AM eastern time, tomorrow. The arresting officers have been told to use all force necessary to make the arrests. The charges are slavery, human trafficking, assault and torture, plus a number of other charges, including murder. We would not normally proceed this quickly, but the operators made a grave error. When Clarence and I disappeared from the resort, they went to the Attorney General and the President requesting Clarence's sacking and my removal from office. They were claiming to have evidence of our unsuitable characters. The basis for the request was our participation in sex videos with our families, and our families' participation with numerous other partners. Instead, it clearly showed the Grand Councilor, the US Assistant Attorney General, and his associates engaged in acts of torture, rape, and abuse. They are now under arrest, as will be about another 500 key participants in this organization by tomorrow. That number of arrests also includes those occurring outside the US." James and Clarence went to sit down as the applause began and went on for a long time. They were met by hugs and kisses from their loved ones. James turned and said, "I should have mentioned that we expect more arrests to follow these," before returning to his seat.

"We have several announcements before we start the presentations," said Claudette. "Tomorrow afternoon there will be phones available for your use, along with dialing instructions. The connection will be as if you were in the States. Also tomorrow, several TV monitors will be set up in the lounge. We expect there will be a lot of news activity by then regarding the arrests."

"Now, we promised to tell you a bit about ourselves," said Jill and Janet. "These presentations were made to inform prospective crew candidates about us. The first was recorded at our first meeting with a group of candidates when we extended the invitation to consider working on a space ship. The second was made on the day they arrived for their informational visit. The third basically reviews the physical differences between our species and yours.

"We didn't go into details earlier, but as we told you this morning, our home is a space ship. It is usually in orbit around Mars." Several gasps were heard. "It is in Earth orbit at the moment, but it is currently cloaked, so you can't see it from here. We started building a settlement on Mars about a year ago. Most of us are originally from Earth, even though you may think it doesn't look like it. Let us begin."

After the presentations were completed Sarah said, "Before we open the floor to questions, we would like clarify some of the information presented. First, every one of us is telepathic. Yes we exchange thoughts mentally and we can see others active thoughts. The two concepts are slightly different. Our rule for telepathic communication is to never look at another's thoughts without their agreement. In emergencies, the rule can be overridden, but there are dire consequences if you misuse this. Sharing memories can be done if both parties want to, but it is usually limited to the members of a clan.

"Our society is very open to sharing information and knowledge. On a space ship, everyone's welfare and safety are interdependent. This translates into everyone needing access to all available information. There is only one exception, and that relates to some of the procedures on Dóchas' bridge.

"Our family structure is different to those you are familiar with, and was touched on in the last presentation. We form family groups, what we refer to as clans. A clan normally consists of 4 to 10 people. Typically each clan contains one male. Once a clan forms, its members seldom, if ever, leave it. They can, but it just doesn't happen. A key element of the success of these family groups is the bond that they form through their telepathic link, often referred to as a mind-link. It is a much more intimate sharing between the members than anything we ever saw on Earth.

"When we need to add children to our community, we typically bear them as 2 sets of twins, four babies. A clan usually brings children into the community before they are 50 Earth years old. As noted in the presentations, our life span is 200 or more Earth years. All the women in the community lactate from puberty until they want to stop, stopping only occurs providing the community no longer needs the milk. For our species, a woman's milk is a part of our diet. This is because it contains special nutrients that are needed by all the community's members, so everyone generally consumes it daily.

"Interplay between members of our society has no limits, if both parties freely agree and provided it does not result in injury. Incest is neither encouraged nor discouraged, but the parties involved must have reached puberty and be considered adults.

"As a society, we do not have many rules. We follow the idea that you can do anything, as long as it harms no one. This is complemented by a philosophy of protecting the weak from the strong. With regard to our activities in contacting other worlds, our prime directive is: Do not meddle in other worlds or society's internal issues. Exceptions can be when we are at risk, or friends of ours are at risk. In the latter case, we are allowed to act only sufficiently to rescue them and insure their security. Our participation in the resort rescue was based on the exception.

"Questions?" said Sarah.

"How many in your clan?" asked a woman.

"There are 14 adults and 40 children," said Joyce. "Six of our family are expecting and are due in about 8 months, which will add 26 more children."

"Wow, how do you manage caring for them and command of the ship?"

"With help." Many chuckles were heard in the room. "We have several women who assist in the care for the babies full time. They were recruited to help us with that task. The oldest children are around 27 months old and the youngest is about 20 months old. They are very easy to care for. They are always a part of our clan's telepathic link, in a slightly different way to each of our spouses. Each child effectively has 13 mothers, and they respond to them that way, even though each knows who their birth mother is. This creates a closeness between parent and child that I don't remember having with my mother. To me, that is reasonable, because I am now part of a different species with different abilities, some of which my mother didn't have then."

"Joyce, why did you phrase that last bit about your mother that way?"

"Because she has joined us, as well," said Joyce with a grin. "She is Nancy, of Nancy's Clan. They are currently at the other location. My brother told me she was considering having another baby, and yes, my brother is here, as well. He is a member of Briana's Clan."

"This is very interesting," said the woman. "I hope I am not interfering with others who wish to ask a question. Could I ask one more?"

"I don't see why not."

"Did all of you join this breed at the same time?"

"No. I arrived with Sarah, Terry, Sally, Jill, Janet, Judy, and Rusty, a little over 3 Earth years ago. The other members of our clan joined us several months after we arrived here at Comrie. Shortly after we arrived, Nancy, Alice, Bob, Stan and Susan were invited to join us here temporarily, as we needed assistance with the security of the island. They decided to stay. Adam came for a visit about a year ago. While he was here, he fell in love with the women in Briana's Clan."

"Thank you for your patience with my questions."

"Not a problem. Although thinking about it, I should probably expand on the history of our crew, as it is not covered in the presentations. We began to seek additional crew members about two and a half years ago. This was shortly after we became members of this breed. A search was conducted for college students who met narrow criteria in terms of stature, class standing, social relationships and other attributes. We also observed them as they interacted with others in public areas. All were either graduating or about ready to graduate from college. Virtually every one we approached chose to join the crew and then this breed. Others in the crew are people we rescued and who then chose to stay with us. Next."

"I noticed you always refer to a family group by what we consider a woman's first name. Why is that?"

"The clan name," responded Tara, "is chosen by the clan, and is frequently the name of the woman around whom the group formed. It is their choice. It does not indicate a pecking order, as all members are equal. Why this way? The original crew members did not speak verbally, they exchanged all their ideas telepathically. When you speak telepathically, you direct a thought to an object in your mind, so there is little need for a name. A clan is an object with connecting elements to each individual. We are more comfortable with a mixed communication mode, so we needed names for family groups."
