It was the beginning of the third week at the resort. Sarah's Clan was finishing freshening up before breakfast when Judy said, "Is everyone ready to go?"
After looking around Aoife said, "Looks that way to me. Let's do it. I'm hungry."
Sarah said, "You know we ought to enter a lottery."
"So you still think it is luck?" replied Jill.
"Not really. I am still amazed that everyone decided to join us. On top of that there are still a few of those we've contacted who may join us."
"They will!" added Aoife smiling.
"I think," said Judy, "our timing and need dovetailed with their needs and desires. By joining us, they get to live a dream and work with people they love. Plus they will be using the skills they learned in school. Added to that is the potential to travel beyond this solar system. The only downsides are that they don't know us very well and, maybe for some, leaving Earth. So, overall we placed a very positive opportunity before them."
"So you think that if we did it again, we would be as successful."
"With the same selection criteria and effort, I would expect us to exceed 80% without any problem."
"Okay," said Sarah with a smile.
"Well, we find it amazing," said Amy's Clan.
"We think Judy missed some points," said Siobhan and Maureen. "Our is far beyond what any of us had hoped to see. Characterizing it as a dream is a very accurate description."
Donna said, "Excuse me for interrupting. I would like to meet with all of you after breakfast. There has been an increase in boat and air traffic around the resort in the last few days. In response to this, we've increased the number of drones monitoring the surrounding area."
"Okay. We'd noticed that you increased the drones. Let's use the Sunset room."
After breakfast Sarah's Clan said, "Good morning all. Again we have those on the ship linked in to this meeting. Our activity schedule is the same as it has been for the last few days. Those ready to transfer to the ship can do so, in fact we would like you to do that so we don't have a last minute rush. Whether you continue to spend your day here is your choice.
"For those sorting through their personal items, we ask that you complete it in the next day or two so they can be transferred to the ship. They will be scheduled for transfer as soon as you indicate they are ready.
"Donna alerted us to an increase in air and boat traffic around us. We suspect they are trying to get a look at all the naked bodies." Everyone laughed. "Seriously, we will meet with Donna right after this to review the information, as she has some concerns.
"Now, are there any questions or issues for us to address?"
"Once we move to the ship, are we going to have access to the place you call the Enclave?" asked Leann.
"Yes. Definitely. We envision using that location for our time off. Actually we have two places. The second is undeveloped but has some distinct advantages."
"Can we go other places?" asked Gwendolyn.
"Yes. What did you have in mind?"
"Nothing at the moment, I was just curious."
"When you think of something let's talk about it. Considering recent events, we would want to evaluate any trip very carefully as your security is a prime concern."
"Okay. We agree as we hadn't considered that."
"Your new bank accounts should be set up in a week or so. Arrangements are being made with a Swiss bank as this is where our primary accounts are located."
"If you don't mind, how are you obtaining Earth's currency?" asked Wang.
"Not at all. We didn't hack any banks." After the laughter quieted, "It is by selling precious metals to various organizations around the globe. The metal composition is adjusted so it doesn't match any patented processes. We keep quantity low enough that it doesn't impact the global price."
"Thanks. One curiosity taken care of."
A voice said, "Remember what happened to the curious cat."
After the laughter quieted Sarah said with a smile, "Curiosity can yield enlightenment as well. Any more questions?"
Tori stood and said, "Once we have our new accounts, can we move all our funds there?"
"Good question," responded Sarah. "There shouldn't be any difficulty in doing that, however, there are rules regarding international fund transfers so we need to research them. One thing you should not forget is paying any outstanding tax bills before they are past due. We will set up a contact."
"Thanks."
"Any others?"
No one responded so Sarah's Clan said, "We'll see you at lunch. Have an enjoyable day!"
Once they had gathered in the Sunset room, Donna said, "There has been a distinct increase in activity around us. The most noticeable is the air traffic and I think many have noticed it. There is also an increase in boat traffic and this is similar to the increase in air traffic but not as obvious. Currently it is now well above what we observed before renting the resort, or even right after our first guests arrived. Graphically, this shows the air and boat traffic since our arrival by date. Also included is a line indicating the number of guests. The arrow is the date our guests possessions began arriving.
"Considering past events at some of their residences, we responded by increasing the number of surveillance drones. From this data we learned that the additional traffic was not associated with the tour operators. Not only does the air traffic originate from different locations, it also follows different flight paths than the tour planes." As Donna spoke she had projected images showing the patterns.
"Also, yesterday when the pattern was realized, I asked the Security-AI and Intelligence-AI for an assessment. So, at their recommendation, we initiated an effort to tap two reconnaissance satellites. The focus is on obtaining copies of images they are recording of this island. After a careful evaluation, we chose to put a ferret on each one. The Intelligence-AI is handling this."
"So what is your conclusion?" asked Rusty smiling.
"Primarily, someone is very interested in us. We found some additional pieces of data that strengthen this view."
"When you increased the drones, did you increase the intrusion detectors around the resort?" asked Erica.
"Yes. As candidates homes were vacated, we moved those assets here and to the Enclave. The extra drones at the Enclave were put on standby since we had overlapping coverage here."
"Good."
"So what did the AIs conclude?" asked Terry.
"In a moment, as I have more. On the island side, a group is apparently scoping out access along both sides of the resort. This group is using a warehouse on this side of town as its base of operations. Currently they have three stake trucks there and each is loaded with small crates."
"How big?" asked Tara with a frown.
"I don't know. I think they are about the size we saw at Leann's. Do you want me to check?"
"No, not now."
"Another item is that the AIs identified a small cargo ship about 200 kilometers away. Maritime records show that it is headed for Marseille. Yesterday it turned toward this resort. The AIs are projecting it to be off shore after sunset today."
"So if we are paranoid, we could conclude we've been discovered," said Sarah.
After the laughter died down Siobhan said, "While I don't disagree, that is an awful lot of effort to come after us."
"Not really," responded Zoe. "If they average ten thousand for each of those here that would be over fifty mil. In an upscale brothel, it wouldn't take very long to recover the investment."
"You're kidding!"
"Not really. My comment was based on what I heard when I was a captive and that is the cheap end of the market."
"That is just hard to believe." Siobhan looked at the others around the table then said, "So what do we do now?"
Rusty said, "Simply put, me thinks we should simply vanish, and do it tonight."
"We should check out the freighter," said Zoe.
"Definitely. When we vanish, we should do it very carefully. We do not want to leave any clues. The last thing anyone should see is us going to bed."
"Donna, send a C&C drone along with a dozen spiders and two ferrets to check out the ship," said Sarah.
"In progress. Although besides the C&C, I've sent two small drones and twice as many spiders."
"Fine."
"One final point, we have identified signals from several locations in the resort. We believe these may have arrived with the candidates personal possessions as the timing of their arrival and the start of the transmissions is about right."
"OK. We'll ask the candidates about anything that arrived that they weren't expecting."
When they gathered for lunch Brandan said, "What's up?" to Maureen and Siobhan as they joined Conan and their groups.
"After lunch," replied Maureen out loud, then added to her group and Siobhan's, "Tonight, we will all be moving to the ship. It is to be announced after lunch."
Siobhan looked at Conan and her group and nodded confirming what they had just heard. When Eileen looked at Sarah's Clan they just smiled and nodded. She said, "Good. I'm glad we've moved all of our stuff."
"Doing that will make it easier to work on restoring the ship," added Tiff.
Lunch went quickly and quietly, as the whole group seemed to sense a change was in the air.
When everyone was nearly done, Sarah stood and tapped her glass. "As soon as the tables are clean, we need to have a short meeting." With that everyone began to clear off their tables and return the dishes to the kitchen area. "Ann, would you have everyone in the kitchen join us. Donna, is there anyone missing?"
"No, everyone is connected."
The Command Staff moved to stand with Sarah. "This morning we mentioned an increase in traffic offshore and in the air around this resort. Since then, we've reviewed the surveillance and intelligence information. Our conclusion is that it is time to leave the resort." She paused until the room was quiet again. "We will summarize what we know in a moment. Leaving the resort doesn't mean your visit is over. We could move to the Enclave but currently there isn't sufficient accommodations unless you want to pitch a tent. In light of this, we have the following proposal. For those who have decided to join the crew, we would like for you to complete your move today. For those who haven't, your choices are to move to the ship, the Enclave or if you prefer, home. Actually the last choice is one that is open to each of you.
"Now the reason for this proposal is based on the analysis of activity around us." The Command Staff then took turns summarizing parts of the analysis, including the sudden increase in RF signals within the resort. These were primarily from the building where possessions were being sorted. Siobhan finished with, "Now are there any questions?"
Sabrina said, "When we moved our stuff up there, it didn't seem like there were enough compartments. Will there be enough compartments for us to use?"
"Priorities on the ship are being adjusted to focus on opening more compartments. The biggest issue in reopening sections is removing the previous occupants stuff. The other is validating the services to them."
"I know we can help with that, so we will go up right after this."
"I am sure your assistance will be appreciated."
"I presume the RF is from some kind of transmitter. What would they look like?"
"Based on the frequency, we think they are small radios," said Terry. "Following this line of thinking we suspect they are inside something sent to you as a gift."
"Oh," said Bobbie of Gillian's group, "When we went to get our things several of us had unexpected graduation gifts. Mine was a calendar-clock that looked really expensive and very useful. So, I brought mine and I believe several others did a well. Come to think of it, I didn't recognize the sender's name."
"Do you have the package it came in?" asked Terry.
"I don't think so, but I think some do."
"If the gifts are cell phones, they may have the find me utility turned on."
"Why would someone go to so much effort to find us?"
"We don't have an answer for that. As many of you know, attempts were made to abduct some of those we invited here. We are puzzled by the continued effort."
"Why are we running? Don't we have the technology to destroy them?"
"I wouldn't call this running," responded Rusty. Several grumbled hearing his response. "Yes, we believe we have the ability to destroy them. However, at this point we don't have any firm evidence that this activity is a threat. We expect to learn more this afternoon. Right now our preparations are based on intuition and we believe it is prudent to heed it.
"Yes, we could arrange for these unwelcome visitors to vanish. However, doing that could give an astute observer a better idea of our capabilities. Considering how few there are of us, we don't think it is a wise idea to provoke an incident. Also, what about those who sent them? Who are they? What is their motivation? We think we know but ... long term, we think a better choice is to attempt to determine who is behind this. Right now, our plans are to let them occupy the resort. We've always thought of our Enclave as our recreation spot on Earth, as well as being our land base. Expanding those accommodations will take longer than opening up more of the ship, which we need to do anyway. Ideally we would like to move our activity on Earth to the other island."
"Okay."
"Are there any other questions?"
Hearing none Sarah said, "Enjoy your afternoon. We would like everyone here for dinner."
"Why?" asked Brandan.
"We presume they know roughly how many people are here. After dinner we will go over how we are going to leave, as there will be a specific place to board the shuttles. So if you are anxious to return to the ship, you can do so right after dinner. Dinner tonight is a barbecue."
"Great!!"
They were just finishing their barbecue when clouds began to appear on the western horizon. The combination of clouds and the setting sun provided a beautiful view. Although the sky wouldn't be overcast until much later, the approaching cloud bank brought darkness several hours earlier than normal. As they finished dinner, they either wandered back into the recreation building or went to gather up their remaining items. Once inside the buildings, they kept all their movements under cover. When everyone was in the recreation room, it was surprisingly quiet. While the mood was somber, there was a level of excitement.
"Muireann's and Leann's groups," said Aoife, "we would like for you to take the lead and go on the first shuttle. After you reach the ship, we would like your groups to oversee everyone getting situated."
"Okay," replied Leann with Muireann nodding. "Does everyone know that?"
"They will in a minute," responded Aoife smiling.
"Attention," said Sarah, Erin, Erica and Terry together causing the chatter to cease. "We've asked Muireann's and Leann's groups to oversee getting settled on the ship. Ann's Clan will do that at the Enclave."
"We suspect you would prefer to travel with your group," said Sally. "So, with that in mind, please exit as a group. The exit is the door between Jill and Janet. Once outside walk straight toward the shuttle door. They will be counting heads, so they will know when to break for the next shuttle. Those going to the Enclave will be in the first groups to leave." With that, the groups began to move out the door.
"I need to speak with Siobhan's and Maureen's groups for a minute?" said Sarah. When the groups were near her she said, "We would like you all to go on one shuttle, probably the last shuttle would be best. Siobhan and Maureen will be with us. Utilizing your mind-link, you can see what we are doing. They will feel your support. Please try not to direct a thought to them that needs a response, as it may disturb their concentration. Yes, there could be exceptions." They all nodded solemnly, but the excitement of moving to the space ship was there as well. They each exchanged hugs and kisses then gathered together to wait their turn to board a shuttle.
While their guests were boarding shuttles, shield generators ensured their movements wouldn't be detected. Although the bots were warm to the touch, they did not give off heat like a human did. Just like humans their activities could be seen visually if it wasn't for the shield. Once all the crew and guests had gone, the bots would shut down the shield generators before preparing everything for their delayed departure.
It wasn't long until only those going to the freighter were still at the resort. Sarah said, "For a group this size, we loaded up very quickly."
Joyce laughed, "I think everyone was anxious. It is a new chapter to this adventure."
"Do the bots have everything set up?"
"Pretty much. They still have a few things to do," replied Tara. "The replicators did a great job producing likenesses of our guests."
"Good. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out," said Rusty. "Alison's group, take Alpha2. We will be along in a moment, we are going to check out the boats on the way."
"We might as well tag along," replied Alison before heading to Alpha2 with Jill, Janet, Erin, Tara, Erica, Claudette, Lana, Melody, Trina and eight bots. The rest of Zoe's group went with the other Command Staff members and six bots to Alpha1.
As Alpha1 and Alpha2 approached the freighter, they reviewed the most recent data from the spiders, ferrets and drones. Images of the freighters maps on the chart table confirmed its path since last port. Now, the deviation from its initial course was obvious. Notations also confirmed that the course changes occurred after possessions began arriving at the resort. Added to this was a recording of the Captain's phone conversation which indicated that he was quite unhappy about the change in direction. While the change delayed their arrival in Marseille, his primary concern was the commercial cargo. The course change along with the extended time at reduced speed so near shore, made them an exceptionally juicy target for pirates.
Nothing in the crew areas was out of the ordinary. From the recorded crew conversations, they learnt that they were exceptionally fond of the recreational facilities on the foredeck. One bragged about the time he spent with two women the night before. Another raved about the blow jobs he received. As he was raving he noted that she didn't have any front teeth or hands. In all the comments it was clear that they thought that having women available for them was a great benefit although unusual. One sailor wondered out loud why the foredeck was off limits. He had hardly finished speaking when another told him harshly to shut up. Another then added that it wasn't wise to say anything about the foredeck. He should just enjoy the opportunity since they had only a few restrictions on how they could use the whores.
On the foredeck, a row of containers and the foredeck structure ran from one side to the other. This completely blocked deck access from the rest of the ship. The container doors faced forward with each bolted and chained to the deck. On the back side of the foredeck structure was a hatch leading to a short hall with three doors. The two on each side opened into fairly large compartments. In each was a moderately large bed with visible restraints, a cage and a set of shelves. On the shelves was a selection of sex and bondage toys. In the corner of the cage was a sign saying, "First – Secure compartment hatch and lock it. Use key from hatch to unlock cage. Failure will have severe consequences." Neither compartment was occupied.
On the foredeck, it was obvious that the containers were positioned so they could be easily accessed from the bow side. The doors of three were blocked open. From earlier images, they knew that these had contained the zodiac boats that were now headed toward the resort. The foredeck structure had four levels with an entrance on each side. Inside each entrance was a staircase and door to that level. On the deck level was a combination lounge and dining room. One level up was divided into several large suites.
Each suite consisted of a large bedroom, a bath and a second room containing a bondage rail, stocks, pillory, suspension points and two cages. The bedroom contained a large bed fitted with restraints, a couch and at least a straight back chair. One of the cages was about the size of a small desk, while the other cage was tall and slender. Both cages had cables attached to them that reached up to the ceiling.
On the level just below the deck, they found four large rooms with very high ceilings, and equipment for making videos and taking photographs. Two rooms contained a large bed equipped with restraints, a low table, a couch and a low bench. Another room was a torture chamber with realistic torches on the walls. In it was a rack, a whipping post, a cross, a fire stand, branding tools, several stocks, pillory, cages, water tanks and mechanical dildos. Hanging on the walls were whips, paddles and many torture implements. The fourth room was apparently a medical facility with a sectional table, a gynecological chair and other medical equipment. Both the table and chair had restraints hanging from them.
It was when they looked at the views of the second level down that their rage began to blossom. Already simmering by what they had seen, it was the sight of those in the cages that really stoked their fury.
Initially when their rage began Sarah, Rusty, Sally, and Terry had pushed out calming thoughts. Although they were shocked by the sight, their experience gave them the strength to convince the rest to be patient. The sight of those in the cages almost overwhelmed their efforts. Once everyone had calmed enough to listen rationally, Zoe's group said, "Thanks. We didn't think anything would cause us to come so close to losing control. These animals, vermin, are worse than our captors."
"We agree," replied Sally, "but flying off in a rage will likely result in failure as well as injuries to us and possibly some deaths."
"Agreed."
Zoe took a deep breath then said, "Let's finish this so we can get them out of there."
On the dimly lit second deck down, were rows and rows of cages. In most were women but there were quite a few men. Everyone was naked and wore a collar and cuffs. If not restrained in some other way, both of their wrists was connected by a short chain to their collar. Some were gagged while others wore an appliance that held their mouth open with their tongue extended. A few were missing hands or even parts of their arms. Those missing hands had a pin sticking out of both sides of the arm near the wrist. At first it appeared that some women were kneeling on their hands and knees. A closer look showed that they were lying on a very narrow bench with their cuffs attached to the deck. On the side of each cage hung a large bottle with a nipple, which was apparently their drinking water. Those restrained had a water bottle close enough that they could get a drink.
There was a bit of relief when they reached the third deck down, as all they found were empty cages. On the fourth level down, all they found were many large crates. These resembled those seen at Leann's and at the lodge.
Everyone sighed after they saw the last of the images. Sarah said, "To me, perhaps us, this is definitely a group of evil vermin. In seeing this, it has triggered in each of us memories that pushed us close to acting irrationally. If we had given in, we would have released our anger in an uncontrollable way. Doing that would have been dangerous for many reasons. I think it is obvious that our empathic connection adds a more intimate sense of our experiences, this added to the rage we felt. Now, by being aware of it, we have a much better chance of acting together, rationally rather than as an angry mob. We think this is very important, considering our abilities and our limited knowledge of their impact and how to use them effectively."
"Our bond," said Joyce, "also gives us a means to turn our uncontrolled anger toward a meaningful path. Let's focus on what we can do now. I have been told that revenge is best served cold. Knowing our strength and abilities, I know we can do that."
"Wow, this is neat," said Aoife, causing a few to chuckle as it lightened the moment. "Sorry that I have distracted us. We fell, or backed into this situation for perhaps two reasons. One, this is our first time in this kind of tactical situation with long-term implications. Two, we now have an idea of our empathic sharing."
Rusty said, "We should have spent more time this afternoon reviewing what we expected to find here and what action to take. I take responsibility for overlooking it. A part of that maybe due to me thinking that all of you understood the potential of what we would find. I admit this is even more horrific than I expected."
"I did see your thoughts," responded Tara. "I think we all did. I am not sure we grasped the significance of them, or the medical stuff, that we do now." Everyone indicated their agreement with Tara's comment.
"I am shocked by how I just responded," said Erica frowning. "I didn't react like I knew I should have. If the rest of you had not been here, I, and this, could quickly have gotten out of control. We need to learn to manage our rage and direct it appropriately."
"Okay, we know what we will find on the freighter," said Sally. "Let's talk through what we plan to do using the outline we created this afternoon. This group on the freighter has to be only a small part of the operation. It is obviously well funded and probably has some link to those we crossed paths with a few weeks ago, maybe even before that. We need to learn as much about them as possible as we go about this."
Sally, Terry, and Rusty took the lead, as they considered what else they would find and how to deal with it. Based on their earlier plans, they carefully worked through a series of scenarios, and what their response would be in each case. Considering the number of people in cages, they decided all but Alison, Joyce, Judy and Erin would board the freighter's foredeck. They would work in groups of threes with the third member of the team being a bot.
Sarah said, "Star, we need as many as 6 shuttles as quickly as you can get them here. Tell those on the ship to expect perhaps as many as 300 people early tomorrow. Many will need medical care."
"The shuttles will be on their way as quickly as possible. The crew is already responding. Leann's and Muireann's groups just arrived."
After dividing up assignments, the teams stepped off the shuttles onto the foredeck with hardly a sound. Sarah, Zoe, Rusty, Maureen, bot22 and bot23 headed for the area one level down where the videos were made. The other groups went to deal with the staff, search the suites and to the second level where the cages were.
When Sarah, Zoe and bot22 entered the compartment set up like a dungeon, they saw a woman securing the ankles of a woman to the ends of a long bar as she lay on the floor. "What the fuck are you doing?" said Sarah raising her stunner.
"Mistress, he told me to secure her wrists and ankles to these spreader bars," replied Cathan as she moved to secure one of Maeve's wrists to end of the bar over her head.
"What is he going to do?"
As the woman pulled the other wrist to the hanging bar she replied, "He only told me to fasten her like this then lift her free of the floor." After securing the wrist, she looked up only to scream when she saw the strangers.
"You didn't answer my question Cathan. What is Fred planning to do?"
Her eyes widened at the mention of hers and Fred's name, but stood silently, shivering. "How do you know my name?" she stuttered as her expression clearly showed her fright. No one noticed the slight smile on Maeve in spite of the pain she still felt from them tormenting her earlier that day.
"You told us your name. Fred is in for a surprise. Release her." When the Cathan didn't move, she added, "Cathan, release Maeve NOW!"
Hearing her name again shocked Cathan but her conditioning kicked in and she began releasing Maeve's ankles, just as Fred approached another door. Sensing Fred's approach, Zoe, Sarah and bot22 moved back into the shadows. When Fred saw what Cathan was doing, he screamed, "You stupid fucking Bitch. I told you to secure her arms to the bar and her ankles to the spreader bar. You should have her stretched out by now." As he was talking, he gripped the whip handle on his belt. "You keep screwing up like this and your friends will suffer much more than they do now."
"But, they..."
