"Sara, are you awake yet?" Val asked. The young girl snuggled into Val's shoulder as they lay entwined in the big bed in Val's quarters. They had spent almost four hours in the 'getting to know you' process with Tonto. "Sweetheart, I now know why Jason took to you instantly and why Doctor Sandra had such a special interest in you too," Val said. "You are special, you are tougher than nails, and you are so filled with love. You are a beautiful addition to our family and my only regret is that you will be here with Jason, no doubt pregnant with his children, while I am off on Behemoth Bounty. I don't want to just touch your mind, I want to hold you in my arms."

"Mmmm, that sounds so good," Sara muttered, wrapping her arms ever tighter around the older woman. "Can we stay here a bit longer like this?"

"Fraid not, Love. Come on, let's go! This is going to be so interesting."

Katie spoke for the group, "I have to know what's going on. Mom is grinning so wide she looks silly but won't say a word. What is the status of Sara after her examination? We love her and will always keep her close but did we learn something new? If we did, can we use that information to assure that we are building healthy and wise families with outstanding moral values?"

"Yes, Katie, we learned much," Tonto replied. "Remembering that I cannot read minds and only have access to information that the human puts into language or images. Our conversation started out awkwardly with Val holding Sara but acting only as an observer. Sara, like all humans, has private thoughts that she wants to keep solely to herself. Of course, to protect them her natural tendency was to think about them so she knew what to stash. But as soon as she identified her secrets in mental language I knew all about them. We had a quick sub-vocal conversation about that and when she realized there was nothing left to hide and I had made no judgments, it became much easier.

"Together we devised a rapid fire tour of Sara. Her thoughts passed in a stream-of-consciousness arrangement where one thought leads to another, complete with the images evoked. I sorted the data so it didn't matter if she followed a thought of a school situation in the second grade with a romantic fantasy from high school to an image of her first love interest and then a photograph of her mother in her Senior Prom dress or even a very pretty field of flowers. Very few of the individual incidents were important by themselves but the total picture painted was a very accurate image of who and what Sara Miller-Tufts has become.

"Here lies the key," Tonto continued. "Sara thinks of herself as part of a family. While she has very real needs and desires of her own, the needs of the family come first in her mind. People who have low or no moral compass always think of themselves first and will sacrifice the good of the group for their own desires. The worst of humanity has no concern for anything other than their own urges of the moment. They will rob, maim, rape and even kill on the slightest whim. Sara, on the other hand, will sacrifice herself before she will allow evil to befall those she loves. She fits in well. We should find as many like her as possible and welcome them into the family."

The interviews were complete and the decisions had been made. The original Tonto family would be comprised of Rob, Katie, Ellie, Jason, Sara, Horace, Sandra Hamilton-Tufts, Jason's two newly pregnant concubines, Amy and Bethann. Horace also had two new concubines from that volunteer group, Consuela Rodman and Sissy Markham. Carla Pemberton was a sponsor who was pregnant with Jason's twins and would be part of the family too. It was a total of 12 with lots of babies on the way. For all it would be a lesson in learning how to live and love in such a huge and diverse family.

The new Tonto family would move to become the crew of the Behemoth Bounty in four and a half months when they stopped over at Demeter to let the current human crew off to resume their military duties. The family would be headed by Grandma Val, Grandpa Dan, and his sister Maria as the core of the group. They would be joined by the three volunteers who became pregnant before departing Earth when that had appeared to be the fastest way to combine with the Tonto family. Although Rob was the father of all three women's babies one had agreed to unite with Dan, that was Nancy Harrison.

Junie and Janie Strumson, the 16-year-old identical twins had become fascinated with Medical Technician Charlie Blackmun and were always clinging to him, hanging on his big black arms and enticing him with their bodies and personalities. Charlie was thrilled with the arrangement and readily agreed. Charlie had also agreed to attempt to be the swing member, trying to move back and forth between the group. The count was exactly seven and they needed to add another so that when Charlie shifted they would not fall below the magic number.

Ben Stoddard and Charlotte Wright-Stoddard agreed to fill that role and offer an extra for security. Charlotte was pregnant with Jason's triplets but Ben was the true love of her life and her sponsor. He had agreed to marry her and even hold her in his arms as Jason planted the seeds of life. While they were not deluding themselves they both loved those two fraternal little boys and one girl as if they were the natural parents. With a full team of nine there was room to experiment.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," Tonto's voice rolled the 'A' sound in Ladies and the 'N' in Gentlemen, just like an old time circus pitch man. "I am honored to present Doctor Horace Hamilton, veterinary surgeon and the newest member of the extended Tufts Family. He will be out of the med-tube in 20 minutes and we should all be on hand to greet him. He is now fully incorporated in the intelligence you so kindly refer to as Tonto."

"Like I said, not much. Tonto says there are a series of directional beacons broadcasting in a spectrum well beyond the visual range.

There was no pain or discomfort, just a good deal of effort. The babies, a boy and a girl were healthy and normal except that there were fine feather-like markings all over their skin.

The gangway to the Mars station wasn’t a physical gangway. It was impossible to have a physical connection between a ship as large as the Seward’s Folly and the station.

During that time, Clyde Kennedy and his partners enjoyed themselves. Laughing and telling stories. After all, they were being set...

Outward BoundChapter 31

Finally, we were there. All lights were green. It was time to launch. But first, we needed to celebrate the occasion. The ship’s congressional meeting room had again been converted to a dining room. We couldn’t fit all of the crew and the contractors in there, but most of the division heads and all of the department heads were in attendance. Throughout the ship, parties were being held in housing plazas. The wardrooms and taprooms were also busy with the singles crowd. Paul and I were on the...

Outward BoundChapter 32

The bridge was crowded. Everyone that could come up with an excuse, and some that couldn’t, were standing around. I was in the command chair. April stood to my left, and Agnes stood to my right. There had been some discussion that she be seated in the command chair. Until I pointed out that the bridge was my command, and I should be the person sitting in that chair. I did suggest that another chair be brought in for Agnes. But she laughed and informed everyone that she wasn’t so old or...

Outward BoundChapter 2

Tapping her spoon against the coffee cup, Grandmother raised her voice, “Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s bring this meeting to order.” Pausing for a moment, she turned to the burly man at the door. “Provost Marshall, is everybody here?” “Aye Grandmother all present. We’re swept sealed and shielded.” “Thank you, David,” turning back to the assembled group she started. “Ladies and Gentlemen, this meeting of the Seward’s Folly command group is called to order. We’ll start with the...

Outward BoundChapter 3

The room was filled with women. Most were on the edges of the space, but the most important occupants were seated at the u-shaped table that took up the center of the room. The room grew quiet when a door opened to the side of the room next to the chair that occupied the head of the table. Agnes Seward came into the room. She was moving slowly but steadily. She stopped in front of the table and looked around. “Ladies, I call the meeting to order. Mary, do we have a quorum?” she slowly sat...

Outward BoundChapter 4

After the end of the Earth-Mars war, many naval personnel, from both sides, ended up in the Martian system looking for work. Some of these ex-military people ended up mining the asteroid belt. If you listened to the corporate recruiters, everybody working for them had made fortunes in the belt. If you checked around, you would soon find that working for a corporation was a form of slow suicide. Better to take a walk outside without a suit. The corporations also hired their own “Security...

Outward BoundChapter 5

Three days after my meeting with Agnes Seward, I took their shuttle over. I shared the ride with two very hungover contractors and a load of supplies for one of the many departments onboard a mining ship. When I arrived, I met a young lady who told me her name was Mary and she was Grandmother Seward’s secretary. I resolved that I would have to remember the Grandmother title. Mary led me to Grandmother Seward’s office. When I entered, Agnes stood and held her hand out. “Captain Sullivan, I’m...

The Congressional meeting hall was filled. Both the ships Congress and the Mother’s Council were in attendance. While this hadn’t been a required meeting, if you didn’t have duties, you were expected to be there. There was a low rumble of conversation. From the door to the side of the stage, the provost marshal came in. “Ladies and gentlemen Grandmother Seward.” everyone stood and faced the door. Grandmother Seward came into the room. There was quiet applause that quickly ended when she took...

Outward BoundChapter 7

Floyd’s dad Wayne Turner was a longtime member of the security division. His job was to do background checks on prospective new family members and contractors. Currently, he didn’t have much to do. The ship was in a refitting stage, and there were no requests for backgrounds. This meant that Wayne had plenty of free time it gave him time for his second job. Wayne was a respected member of his neighborhood. The folks that lived on his level respected him and his word. And not just because he...

Outward BoundChapter 8

For the next hour, Susan was jumping on and off the express. She would walk around, reversing directions looking at the reflection in store windows. All the time worried that she was being followed. Sure that at any time, there would be a hand grabbing her shoulder. At one point, she considered heading to her quarters. But halfway there, she realized that would be the obvious place to be waiting for her. She felt that he was running out of time and was beginning to panic. She decided that...

Outward BoundChapter 9

Standing in the doorway, the room looked like a disaster had struck. Access panels were open. Workers and technicians were involved in various mysterious jobs. There was a babble of voices, each seeming to be louder than the others. A loud voice, not yelling, but carrying over the chatter of various repairmen and technicians. “Attention on deck Captain on the bridge.” All conversation stopped, while most everyone stood up in at least a semblance of attention. Some, particularly those with...

The first thing the next day, I surprised Lucy Golden in her office. She had just finished meeting her section bosses and assigning the days jobs. I was seated in her outer office, talking to her secretary. A nice young lady, petite and cute. I’m sure that she was a heartbreaker in the wardrooms. “Captain,” Lucy was surprised. “What can I do for you? I thought I was going to have some time for the wish list you wanted.” While she was talking, she waved me into her office. “No, Ms. Golden,...

Outward BoundChapter 11

As we stepped into the electronics bay, I was stunned. The noise, hustle, and bustle were surprising. Given the quiet of the maintenance bay, this was pandemonium. Kids were laughing and singing. Several adults were circulating through the room, supervising what was happening on the work tables. An older, dark-haired man watched what was happening from an elevated desk on the far side of the room. When we came in, he was talking to a pair of kids. Showing them something on a piece of...

David Barth, April, and I were in my ready room discussing the Security resupply wish list and the installation of some new equipment. And the groundside technicians that had to be brought in for it. When alarm klaxons started sounding. And an Intruder alert was announced on the public address system. “Intruder alert, Isolation protocols are going into effect, Airtight doors are being secured.” I looked at David. I could tell that the same thought was going through our minds, an intruder...

I smiled at the kid as I sat in the chair next to the bed. “Hi, I’m Henry Sullivan. I’m the Captain of this ship. What’s your name?” The kid stared at me, a sullen look on his face. “Nunya” was his answer. I knew what was going to come next, so before he could continue, I interrupted. “Nice to meet you Mr. Business. It seems that we need to decide what we are going to do with you. Do you have any ideas?” The kid didn’t say anything, just sat and glared at me. “How about some lunch? Are...

Outward BoundChapter 14

It was just after a thoroughly disgraceful lunch when Emily received the e-mail. It was short, only one word, but it’s meaning was huge. Anyone reading it would be confused as to its meaning. Those that knew it for a coded message couldn’t even guess at the meaning. When Emily read the message, fear came over her. These messages were never to her benefit. Calling Jessica into her office, she ordered that a shuttle be laid on for her. And passage to the surface be booked immediately. Ignoring...
