The loud tone the AI used for an alarm woke me. I sat up and noticed that all of my ladies were waving their hands as the wakeup call continued to ring out.
I rolled over and used my hands to lift up my torso. Once my shoulders were off the floor I brought my legs in and slowly stood up. My back felt tight, so I stretched and looked around as the rest of my ladies just covered their ears.
“Turn off the alarm,” I said quietly. “What is the temperature outside?”
“The current temperature is sixteen point seven two degrees,” the AI said firmly.
“That’s cold!” Erica said as she slowly sat up. “Are we really going out to see the sun rise?”
“I believe the AI was using Celsius. It’s sounds like a typical spring morning. It won’t be warm enough to sit around in a bikini, but it won’t be that cold. Let’s get some clothing and head out,” I replied. “AI, does the replicator have the formula for some simple black fleece sweat pants?”
“The replicator does have that pattern,” the AI replied.
“I’ll take the sweat pants and a white t-shirt in my size. Also underwear, socks and a pair of athletic shoes,” I said. “Erica do you want the same?”
“Yes!” the girl said enthusiastically.
“Quiet,” Lenore moaned. “Some of us want to sleep.”
“You’ll miss the sunrise!” Erica crowed. “At least let Angelique see it!”
“If she wants to get up, take her,” Lenore muttered. “I want to sleep in.”
Erica immediately walked over to where Angelique was curled up on a sleeping bag. She reached down to run her fingers through the black hair of the four year old.
“That tickles,” Angelique responded sleepily.
“Daddy is up. He’s going to take us outside if you want,” Erica whispered just loud enough for me to hear as I walked over to the replicator.
The replicator supplied two sets of clothing. One included a pair of panties. I carried that over to Erica who was helping Angelique sit up.
“Take yours,” I said. “I’ll change and then we can head outside.”
“Where do I change?” Erica asked.
“I’ll use the bedroom,” I said. “You can use the bathroom.”
“Oh, you’re right,” Erica said as Angelique stumbled to her feet. The four year old smiled at me and immediately fell over, landing on Tatyana’s legs. Tatyana grunted, but continued to lie on the floor with her eyes closed.
Erica took the outfit from me. I turned towards the bedroom door and made my way to it, carefully stepping over my still slumbering ladies.
The bedroom was clean. The lights came on in the room as I quickly removed the pajamas the girls had convinced me to wear while we were watching the movie the night before. I immediately slipped on the clean clothing provided by the replicator and stood up to look around.
“How soon will dawn be?” I asked.
“Dawn will occur in twelve minutes,” the AI said.
“Can you provide a cup of hot orange spiced tea in the replicator in the main room. Also, my concubines and dependents can enter and exit the pod at will. My only requirement would be that they inform me if they are going to be out for an extended period,” I said.
“Would you like that rule to remain in place once Corsica leaves orbit?” the AI asked.
“If I’m allowed to have it in place,” I replied.
“No concubine may leave the planet if they are unescorted, but they are permitted to wander the planet. There should be no hazards in the vicinity of the pod,” the AI replied as the door opened allowing me back into the main room.
I walked along the walls of the room, avoiding the bodies of my still slumbering concubines. I had just reached the replicator when Angelique ran up and grabbed my leg. “Daddy,” she said sleepily.
“Yes,” I said fondly as I collected a mug filled with tea from the replicator. “And let me guess you want hot chocolate with some whipped cream.”
“Does the replicator provide that?” Erica asked.
The door to the replicator slid open to reveal two mugs. The top of the liquid in the mugs was covered with a large dollop of whipped cream. I just smirked as I moved to the side so the two girls could collect mugs.
“Careful,” Erica said to Angelique when the four-year old hurriedly brought the mug up to her lips. “You don’t want to spill it.”
Angelique giggled as I led the two girls to the door to the pod. I glanced back and then shouted. “Dawn is in ten minutes if you still want to come watch.”
I saw a hand rise up from the pile of sleeping bags and slumbering bodies, but no one spoke. Disappointment ran through my mind as I turned to the front door and watched it open.
The first thing I saw through the doorway was a very faint light in the distance. I looked and could see that the horizon was glowing with a pale light. I stepped out of the pod to look around a bit more.
“It’s dark,” Erica observed.
I used the mug to point off into the distance. “You can see the horizon. I believe we’ll start to see more light in a moment.”
“It doesn’t look right,” Erica said. She leaned forward and raised the mug to just above her eyes, so that her forearm rested on her forehead. “But I can’t tell why.”
“I guess our doorway faces East,” I said. “I wonder if we face the playing fields or the lake.”
Angelique walked forward a few feet. “I think I see water Daddy,” she said.
“Lake it is,” I replied. “Angel, stay close to me. Your mother would kill me if you got hurt.”
I stood silently watching Angelique drink her hot chocolate. The four-year old would walk a few feet away, sip from her mug and then walk back to put a hand on my thigh. She seemed amazed by the dark red rocks we stood on.
“What kind of rock is this?” Erica asked.
I glanced down. The light from the horizon was brighter, but it was not enough that I could really see the ground clearly. What I could see was a brownish-red. I squatted down and put my free hand against the rock. It was rock rather than hard clay.
“I can’t say,” I said. “I’ve never seen something like this before.
“Daddy?” Angelique called out. There was a bit of fear in her voice. “Why is the sky purple?”
I looked up at the horizon. The first sliver of our new planet’s sun had finally appeared. The sky near the horizon was a pale indigo that was slowly getting brighter as the sun continued its ascent.
“Wow,” I said. “I’ve never seen this. Must have something to do with the atmosphere.”
“Does that mean we’ll have trouble breathing?” Erica asked. She sounded terrified.
“If it did, we’d notice,” I pointed out as the sun continued to rise. The shadows on the ground were starting to fade and we could finally see the lake the AI had mentioned.
The pod door was directly facing an inlet in the lake. We were standing no more than two hundred feet from a shoreline that included a small beach that appeared to be made of sand. The water was lapping against the shore in the quiet morning.
There was a clear path leading from our door down to the shoreline. I looked at the stone and rocks between us and the water. It took a few careful glances, but I finally found a flood line about twenty feet below our feet and close to sixty feet away from our door.
“Mark?” Erica asked as I walked to the north, trying to see more of the flood line.
“I was trying to get an idea of how high the water will get during spring floods. It looks like we’re well away from danger. It also looks like the floods are over if this is springtime,” I said.
“Can we swim?” Angelique asked.
“Later,” I said. “How about we walk around the pod and see the area set aside for the fields. We can also look for all of the other pods that were supposed to land around us.”
“It’s so quiet,” Erica said. Her voice was filled with wonder. “And the water is purple too. Why?”
I looked out at the lake. The sun was high enough in the sky that a few beams of sunlight were striking the lake directly. Where the shadows had left the water was a purplish-blue.
“It must have something to do with the strength of the sunlight. I can’t remember what we were told about the star in this system,” I said quietly.
I looked up at the sun. It was still touching the hills to the East, but enough was visible that I could tell that it was orange rather than the yellow one would expect on Earth. I nodded and then started walking northward.
“Mark?” Erica asked as she scrambled to keep up with me. “What did you see?”
I used the mug to point towards the rising sun. “Notice how the sun is orange?”
“Sure,” Erica said. “It’s also a bit larger than what I’m used to back on Earth, but what does that mean?”
“Our sun is a K-class star. They are not as bright as Sol, but scientists say that they burn for billions more years. If this is a young system humans might be able to survive here for a long time,” I said.
“Wow,” Erica said.
Angelique ran past us. I noticed that her hands were empty as she raced to the corner of the pod. She touched it and then turned back to look at us. She was jumping up and down.
“I beat you, I beat you!” she sang out.
“Ugg, someone is too happy,” I heard someone say from the doorway behind us. “Mark? Why is the sky purple? Did we die and I didn’t get the message?”
I paused in my walking and looked back over my shoulder. Constance was standing in the doorway wearing a diaphanous robe over the t-shirt that had been her pajamas the night before. She raised an oversize insulated cup to her lips and took a sip as I watched.
“It looks like the sun is a bit weaker than Sol. And the refraction of light from the atmosphere is a bit different. So we have an orange sun and a purple sky,” I said.
“Crash, bam, alakazam,” Ashley sang as she stepped around Constance. She was barefoot and quickly started dancing on the rocks. “Cold, cold, cold!”
“It’s dawn on a spring day,” I said. “Of course its cold. And that song goes with an orange colored sky.”
Ashley held her hands out, showing off the t-shirt she was wearing. “But wonderful me stopped by!”
Constance took another sip of her drink and glared at the younger woman. “Girl,” she grumbled. “You are entirely too cheerful considering you haven’t had any coffee.”
“I’m with the man I love,” Ashley said as she pranced in my direction. She quickly caught up to me and wrapped her arms around my waist.
I held up the cup containing the hot tea. It was starting to cool so I quickly gulped some down and then looked at Constance. “Do you want to join us?” I asked. “We were going to walk around and see the other pods. For some reason our door faces the lake.”
“I love it,” Ashley said. “We just need a few lounge chairs and a beach umbrella or two and we can catch the morning sun. The only sad thing is that all I see is rock and dirt. There are no plants at all.”
“The AI warned us about that,” I said. “Now let’s look at the rest of our new home. I believe we were promised some sports fields. They won’t be in place, but we can see how far away they are.”
Ashley released me and ran forward. Angelique immediately gave chase as they rounded the side of our home and vanished. Erica laughed as she started jogging after them. She was taking a sip of her hot chocolate as she followed them around the corner and out of sight.
I walked slowly. Constance caught up to me and slipped her right arm around my left. I looked over to see her holding her coffee in her left hand.
Constance ducked her head. She blushed as she reached down to pull at the robe over her t-shirt. “Sorry, I couldn’t take the t-shirt off. It was a bit cold in the house.”
“It’s not that warm out here,” I said as we reached the corner of the pod and turned to the west. The others had all moved out of sight, but we could now see several other pods in the distance.
“It is warm in your arms,” Constance said fondly. “You’ve given me a home.”
“Not much of one,” I said. I pointed to one of the other pods. They looked like someone had stacked a couple of oversize cargo containers on top of each other. There was some rounding of the corners, but it still made a rather ugly picture against the bare stone surrounding it.
“Do you think we might be able to ask the AI for some paneling?” Constance asked as we continued to walk. We could hear Ashley and Angelique’s loud cries ahead of us. They sounded happy so I slowed down and looked at Constance.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“You remember my father? Or at least I’ve talked about him. He worked in advertising mostly, but that meant he had people over to the house. I swear the man was all about appearances,” Constance said.
“You’ve hinted at that before,” I said.
“True, but what makes that important, is that I understand how important making the pods look nice really is. If the replicators can make big enough pieces, we can design something that would fit over the pod,” Constance said.
“And I’m guessing you want to make the pod vanish?” I asked.
The Crucible Janet L. Stickney [email protected] In our youth, we learn may things. We learn to walk and talk, interact with others, dress ourselves and so on. Into that crucible, we toss that moment when we learn about ourselves. We are boys or girls, our physical being, an undeniable fact that defines how we are to be raised, treated, and dressed, yet some of us know that being called a girl, or boy, is somehow wrong. A mistake that nature laughingly foisted on us, and by the...

Chastity followed me as I walked over to the table. When I stopped to look around the room I could see a very nervous look on her face. “Problem?” I asked. “That orientation makes the ship seem very complex,” Chastity said. “It is. It has to be in order to allow us to travel into space,” I replied. “But I can’t even understand why I have the CAP to be a citizen. I always hated fighting. My parents were always fighting. I got into acting because there was a small theater group in my...
The system was in standby as I turned the chair back to the front. I reached down to call up a replay of the engine repair when I felt a hand grasp the back of my chair. “Yes?” I asked. “Is it always like that?” Captain Prescott asked. “The simulations are supposed to be the absolute worst possible sequence,” I replied. “And the time is compressed a bit. I really doubt we could enter a system get into a fight, scan a planetoid as well as a Sa’arm controlled planet and escape in just under...
I waited for the door to close and then released a massive sigh. Tatyana immediately put her arms around me. “That was hard on you,” she observed. I feel like I’m the only sheep in a room filled with hungry wolves. There are quite a few members of the crew that would do their best to replace me if they thought I’d fail,” I replied as I stood up. “Never let them see you sweat?” Tatyana said. “Basically,” I agreed as I stood up. “AI, you can power down this room until the next training...
We were surprised to find that less than a third of the desks in the classroom were filled when we filed into the room of our German class. Jessica and Kelsey grabbed seats in one row and immediately started pointing to the seats around them. I started to walk around Jessica to the far side of the room, only to have Matti grab my shoulder and drag me to the seat in front of Kelsey. Jason sat down next to me. He shook his head as the others arranged themselves in the seats around Jessica....
The next two hours were spent quietly monitoring the ship’s systems as we continued to crawl towards Yulara and the orbital station. Blaine and I said little as we watched the one prototype ship circle its target. Only two more attack runs were attempted and one confirmed Kelsey’s comments about the weapon’s short range. The ship fired from what appeared to be about twice the distance as the first run only for every shot to fade away before they reached the moon. Blaine repeated his thanks...
When Ashley led me from the television room that night, I think I finally realized that my thoughts about just how crazy things might become had been wrong. Just the rumor of and few released reports about the Sa'arm invasion had been enough to get four hundred women into that room based on a very faint promise of protection. They had submitted to a televised humiliation on little more than a rumor and trust in the government. I was determined not to let the show upset me too much, but that...
“Captain Parker,” A voice growled out. “Dare I ask why you are in port today?” “Corsica ended its last patrol yesterday. The orders we received just before leaving Crucibleat were to visit several nearby systems and look for signs of Sa’arm incursions. We found none, although there was one system that my officers and I believe would be quite interesting to them. We left a warning buoy in the system as a way to provide advanced warning should an incursion occur. Our final orders were to visit...
Lenore ran over to join us. I nodded to her and then offered my free hand to her. She took it and we started walking towards the exit. It was sliding open when I heard a voice behind me. "Oh sure. You'll take the virgin to medical, but leave the girl who would do anything to have your cock in her cunt." I shook my head. "Aine, I have no clue where all the anger comes from, but its not very becoming of a young woman. I'm going to tell you now. I'm done with the nasty comments and the...
Major Greenfeld was standing outside the door. He looked at me and shook his head. “You are just fifteen?” he asked. “I might be sixteen now,” I replied. “I’ve lost track of how many days have passed and which day we are on anymore. But I also don’t worry about it much.” “You don’t?” he asked as we started walking back to Corsica. “My age does not determine how well I can do my job,” I said. “No, but it does determine how others will view you,” Major Greenfeld said. “At least initially....
I allowed Jason to lead me into the training center. We found Ashley standing near the service counter, chatting merrily with the young woman standing there. I was surprised to see that the woman was wearing what looked like a combination of military uniform and space suit. Ashley noticed us and waved. "Mark! Lieutenant Marakova here tells me that she's received transfer orders," Ashley called out. Jason and I walked up to meet the woman. "You're not going to be here longer?" I asked...
The rest of the night was not very exciting. Lenore was inside the restaurant for at least ten minutes. We sat quietly while we listened to the cries of anger coming from within the restaurant. The patio was not an exit, so we saw no other customers except the two women who had collapsed out on the patio shortly after the barrier had been removed. What we could hear made it clear that several married women had tried unsuccessfully to be picked up, and their husbands were not pleased. Lenore...
Once I sat down in the captain’s chair I found that the sleep training had shown me the location of every button. I tested out the ones activating the holographic data screens just in front of the chair. They came up, but showed no data. “AI? Is there a problem with the simulator?” I asked. “No simulation has been chosen,” the AI said. “Can we set up for a simple cruise in the Crucibleat system? We haven’t heard much about the system or the planet we will be on,” I replied. “Activating...
Sergeant O'Malley stepped to the center of the room and looked at me. "Son," he said. "You have to be one of the bravest fools I've ever met. Did you just tell this man that you wanted to make a sex slave out of his daughter?" "No," I replied firmly. "I told him that I would protect his daughter and love her. In my home she will be a partner, someone who can assist me in raising our children and providing a happy and enriching environment for all who live there." The Sergeant...
The meetings that Hank Swift and Kelsey White had requested proved to be much less stressful than the first two I had. Hank wanted to ensure that he was not going to be exiled from Crucible. From what I could decipher from his almost incoherent pleas, his concubines had made it clear that he needed to straighten up and fly right. I knew that they could not just walk away from him, but refrained from saying anything to the penitent man. It was clear that he needed their approval. Instead I...
Jason and I walked over and sat on the ground with our teammates. One of the sophomores looked over at me. I realized that it was Derek Goodman, one of the starting defensive tackles. He looked over at Maurice. "You brought a couple of freshmen over." "Why not?" Maurice replied. "They put more effort into practice than most of the sophomores. I expect them to make a difference on the field." "Not if Lucas and Terrence have their way," the other sophomore said. I realized it was...
I stepped out into the hallway. Immediately someone shouted. “On your right!” I turned to look and found an entire marine squad jogging down the passageway. They were carrying mock rifles above their heads as they rushed towards me. The door to the railgun simulation room opened and Ashley darted past me. I grabbed her around the waist and spun her towards the wall as the squad pounded past. “What was that?” Ashley asked. “The marines are out training,” I said. “So?” Ashley asked me. She...
The game ended up being a bit of a snooze. Carolina's defense created three touchdowns before the second quarter was half over and then cruised to the ending. The halftime show was loud, but otherwise forgettable. Angelique and Erica both ended up falling asleep during the third quarter. Angelique climbed into her mother's lap to sleep. I ended up with Erica in my lap. I had spent almost no time with the young lady, but she was smiling in her sleep. Thomas tried to stay awake. He...
The rout of Constance seemed to signal an end to any disturbances for lunch. Maurice hung around for a while at the other table in the courtyard, staring at us, but saying nothing as Jason and I cuddled with our girls and listened to Jessica bragging about how good the freshman cheerleaders would be this year. I had to laugh at that since Kelsey, Matilda, Kathy and Millicent had all made the cheerleading squad. Jason seemed a bit preoccupied, but volunteered nothing about his brief...
“My orders are as follows,” Admiral Redmill continued. “We are to complete the space trials of the new Africa class destroyers. As part of that trial we need to see the ship in combat. Thanks to the efforts of your scout ships we know that the Sa’arm are currently setting up an entrenched position in the Gee One Dash ... Six Five Eight system I believe.” I forced my hands to remain wrapped around Constance. Ashley groaned at hearing the Admiral name the wrong system. At her groan both...
After the morning break we had to head to German. Jason was clearly unhappy with the prospect of seeing Miss Kirke, if that was her real name now that we had discovered her previous occupation. However, Letty convinced him that missing class would only alert her to the fact that her activities had been discovered. My sister grabbed his arm as we walked from the courtyard. "I'll protect you," she whispered just loud enough for Jason and me to hear. "I'm sure Kelsey and Kathy will help as...
The television switched back to the same newsroom we had been viewing earlier. The same anchor now had a visible stack of notes in front of him, but was looking at a teleprompter. "Hello again, this is Martin Sherman, and I'm anchoring the lead-in to tonight's Defense Forces Special as some people are now calling it. This show is here to demonstrate how someone with a six point five CAP or higher will select his companions. We have been told that this is actually more organized than most...
My fears for my father's reaction proved to have understated just how mad he would be. The man destroyed every wedding picture he got his hands on and ripped all of my mother's clothing to shreds that night after Mrs. Roberts brought Matti and me home. Ashley did whisper to me that she had left her phone number with Lenore. The sad woman had tried her best to do a great job as a waitress while the group of us ate in stunned silence. We heard nothing from her for the rest of the week, and...
Jason was holding up his CAP card. Leticia exploded out of her chair with a loud cry of pure joy. She tackled Jason. They fell to the floor as the young woman covered his face with kisses. Ashley looked down at the couple. She kicked playfully at her brother's leg. "You scared us!" "I scared myself," Jason admitted. "Even knowing that I should score well, I was stunned by how often I couldn't answer one of the questions quickly. And the scenes I had to move through. You ever try to...
The rest of that first week of school quickly established a number of patterns. It started that night when Jason and Letty arrived home just after eight. Both were smiling. Neither one was willing to fully explain what had occurred over the dinner they had with Jana, however, the conversation that evening was interesting. It started when Jason knocked on the door at the top of the basement stairs. Ashley, Lenore, Angelique and I were downstairs playing a game of Chutes and Ladders. I had...
Some twenty-six days later, I was sitting in the captain’s chair as Blaine counted down the time until we emerged in the Yulara system. The intervening four weeks had been spent traveling from system to system and scanning the ones we entered. The good news was that the time involved had allowed Ensign Daniels and his men to tear apart every controls station and rebuild it. They had found few additional problems, but the work allowed them to optimize and personalize everything. The men...
Blaine just shook his head as we stepped into the first airlock chamber. We said nothing as the series of doors opened and closed allowing us to step through. When we finally emerged Blaine immediately raced off for the teleport pad. I stood waiting for the airlock door to close. “AI, Corsica is ready for repair. Am I correct that I have to be the first one to board when leaves are over?” “Correct,” the AI said. “Just confirming,” I said. I turned to follow the route Blaine had taken. I...
My weekend passed quickly. Not from a time perspective, but from a feeling that I never was able to give Ashley, Lenore, Angelique, Kelsey and my friends all the attention and time they deserved. A huge part of me was feeling a bit frustrated when we returned to school on Monday for Homecoming week. We had heard that the freshman were going to have a float for the homecoming parade and game on Friday, but Jessica and I had been unable to find out who was organizing the efforts. Jason...
The incident with Hillary left everyone a bit skittish for the rest of the trip. Sunday we packed the vans early and headed for home. Lenore was a bit worried that I would blame Angelique for some reason. I kept telling her that it seemed more a case of bad timing and a desperate woman. The others seemed to feed off of my indifference. The initial drive back to the hotel had been tense as everyone in the van looked over their shoulders. I had taken the front passenger seat, but made sure to...
By some miracle there were no bodies on the ground when the field vanished, and the crowd dispersed. Even the boy who had attacked me managed to crawl away to receive medical attention. There still was plenty of emotional trauma. Several young men ran out of the restaurant with tears pouring down their faces. Mall security stopped several of the men. Most were shirtless and two were carrying a collection of women's clothing. It soon became clear that the boys had lost girlfriends to the...
Football practice started two weeks before the first day of school. For the next two weeks Jason and I got up early each day and were driven to school. We would spend hours under the late summer sun following the orders of coaches who seemed determined to drill us into exhaustion. Jason and I spent the first three days involved in a number of drills that were clearly designed to allow the coaches to see what skills we had. They soon had both of us working primarily on offense. Jason was...
Captain Prescott was wearing the form fitting ship suit that the AI provided whenever someone asked for a uniform. However, I noticed almost immediately that he or someone in his command had modified the look. The shirt had red shoulder pads. There was a visible bar or what appeared to be gold thread across the shoulder pads. On his head was a rather elaborate hat that would have looked perfect in a movie about Horatio Nelson. He looked commanding while at the same time I had to fight not to...
Ashley jumped behind me, putting her hands on my shoulders. I reached up with my right hand to stroke her right arm. "Ashley, I don't think that's helping," I said. Ashley's mother glared at me, but quickly turned to concentrate on her daughter. "Ash, why are you hiding behind Mark? You came here to get tested. I'm not going to punish you for your score." "I agreed to have Mark take me," Ashley said. "My score isn't good enough, but his is." "What?" Beatrice squawked....
The next person to show up was Robert Bruce. He swept in wearing a set of fatigues. The only thing missing was a gun slung over his shoulder. Crystal dashed in after him. "Robert, please you don't have to be a jerk to every man you meet," she pleaded. "I won't be," he said with a growl. "But just because the law says you are a concubine doesn't mean that I have to accept offers to trade you for a night. I'm still not happy that we have to have Darla." "Robert, you are a great...
I did give Ashley a few minutes of attention once we returned to our home. Her prediction that we would be having an orgy proved to be correct. I woke up with all six ladies draped over my naked body. It took a few minutes and a bit of effort to lift their bodies enough to allow me to slide out from under them and make my way to the small shower in the back of the room. I was carefully washing off the remnants of our play when Miki stumbled into the shower. She put her arms around me and...
I had planned on going to be shortly after returning to the pod. However, the welcome I received turned into an orgy and strange form of reverse train. After I had fucked each of my ladies one time, they coaxed me to lie on my back so they could ride me more. A huge part of me knew that if I ever complained about my welcome, my entire crew would look to lynch me. At the same time my ladies drained me completely, finally just covering me with a blanket as I lay on the couch. I curled up and...
The varsity game ended in a huge loss for the upperclassmen. The crowd actually started to get uneasy with half of the fourth quarter still to play. Several recent graduates and parents started shouting at the players, cursing them for their poor play. It got bad enough that the faculty advisor for the cheerleaders sent them away from the field with two minutes left in the game. The exodus of the cheerleaders signaled to Morgan that it was time for our group to make its way out of the...
Jason lived up to his promise in the second half. He not only recorded two more sacks, but on the last one, stripped the football and then managed to recover the bouncing ball and run it in for a touchdown. Everyone on the defense was patting his helmet when he walked over to the sideline still carrying the football. "Take it easy," Coach Grisham told him. "There are only two minutes left in the game. We'll let the backups play." I walked over to the benches. Jason followed me. He...
My thoughts after the pickup proved true. Ashley and Lenore rarely let me leave their sight during the days leading up to the New Year. Jason and Jessica had the same issue. A simple plan to go for a run in the park quickly became an organized march as their companions demanded to go with them. Becky was the worst. She clung to Morgan. Beatrice had called their employer and tried to explain the issues, but was not sure she was successful. She succeeded in getting Becky a week off without...
I stood up and walked toward the door, leaving my unfinished drawing on the easel. Jessica gave a cry of annoyance, as I walked away. I heard her easel crash to the floor behind me as I left the building. Outside, I walked a few feet from the door and then turned around. A couple minutes later Jessica stormed out of the classroom. She walked right up to me and slapped me across the face. "How can you embarrass me like that!" she hissed. I said nothing. Instead I pointed to a bench set far...
I held Ashley close. There was a musical chime coming from the backpack at her feet. She giggled and looked down at it. "Mark, that's my cell phone. Can you grab my bag?" I shifted to the left so I could use my left hand to reach the bag. My right hand Ashley held pinned against her pussy. She was rocking gently against my hand as I picked up her bag and lifted it to the table. Once it was on the table Ashley dug through a side pocket to find her phone. "It's Mom!" she exclaimed as...
It must have been only a moment, but I came awake with my arms wrapped around Ashley. She was lying there senseless. I pushed my body off hers and rolled to the side. Once we were lying next to each other, I began offering loving kisses. "Will it always be like that?" Ashley asked with a sigh. "I wish it will be," I replied as I held her. "That was just about perfect." "I know," Ashley said as she put her arms around me and squeezed me. "I never expected that." "I love you," I...
Fortunately, the rest of the protest was rather peaceful. My brother stopped the few anarchists who had shown up hoping to use the protest as cover for some robbery attempts. Jason, Ashley, and I found that someone had already warned people on the route of the march. Buildings were closed, and many had placed boards over their windows to protect them. The three-mile march proved to be no more strenuous than a weekend jog. Jason was the first to notice that the marchers were having trouble...
The next two hours were a blur of exercise and pain. Sergeant O'Malley never broke a sweat as he first had everyone run around the clearing while he promised to train us to fight and then he proceeded to show us a series of dirty tricks and holds we could use to disable an opponent. When Jessica, Jason, Morgan and I were too tired to continue, he had us lay down while he took the ladies around and showed them how to break free from any hold a person might try. It was exhausting, but at the...
Ashley and I were quiet on the drive home. We were pulling into the driveway at my place when Ashley quietly asked. "Mark? Should we have offered her a chance to leave Earth with you?" "No," I said firmly. "There was no connection. Both of us think Kelsey is sweet and adorable. With Lenore it seemed like we came to the same conclusion about her sadness. And we know they get along with each other. I liked that Connie was willing to help when I had to intervene in the fight at the store,...
I was a bit worried about being late so I immediately started jogging. I was passing the next door when I heard Morgan shout. “Hey! Mark, what’s the hurry?” I turned back to see Morgan jogging down the corridor. I choked back a laugh as I shook my head and slowed down until he caught up. “I figure being late sets a bad example,” I replied. “And this matters to you,” Morgan said with a nod. “Do you want to wait for Jason and Jessica?” “They know to get to a meeting on time,” I said. “I...
The walk across the dark landscape took a few minutes longer than I had hoped, but it was only three forty-nine when we arrived at the administration building. The door opened up and we found ourselves looking at a small room with several doors and a large purple circle marking a gravity elevator. “Wow,” Ashley said as we entered. “Lots of space.” “Which way to the teleportal?” I asked. “Use the first door on the left,” the AI said. “Concubines must wait for their citizen or another...
Becky picked up most of us. Matilda and Kelsey were riding home with us for the first time all week. Becky noticed as they jumped into the minivan. "I have extra passengers," she said. "I'm glad I didn't bring Angelique. She wanted to come" "Awww," Kelsey and Matilda said in unison. "We wanted to see her." "I haven't gotten to play with her all week," Kelsey added. "You choose to go home with Jessica," Jason pointed out. "Well," Kelsey said. "I don't go home with...
I muted my cell phone. "Everyone is fine with this correct?" I asked. Letty giggled. "It sounds like you'll have fun. I'll stay out for the most part. I'm Jason's sex slave and should be seen naked and at his feet." Ashley laughed. "Oh, that's so wrong its right. I agree though. Mark, it should be mostly you with Jason, Jessica, and Morgan offering the most support. We already know it will probably be about you." "This song is not about me," I said firmly. "I never thought...
By the time the hour instruction was complete I think most of the people in the room had fallen asleep. I had followed along for a while and then found that the desk allowed me to zoom in even more on sections as the AI discussed them. The one thing I quickly noticed was that the ship was designed to not need a crew. Just about everything could be handled by the computer. Only the combat tasks like firing the weapons or making emergency changes to engine output would require human...
I had announced that the crew needed to show up at ten hundred hours. As was my usual pattern I walked into the bridge simulator thirty minutes before then. For once I was alone, as all of my ladies were still sleeping. The orgy that Lenore had demanded had run far past midnight. I was still a bit sleepy, but the content smiles on my slumbering concubines warmed my heart as I took my seat and powered up the displays. The displays were flickering into life when the doors opened up behind me....
The ship was quiet. Ensign White and Ensign Munfree sat and adjusted their displays as Blaine began running his fingers over his controls. “I need thrust,” he called out. “Engines cycling up from standby,” I heard Lance Corporal Boddicker say. “Thrust will be available in ninety seconds.” “Releasing stern connections,” Blaine said. I watched the forward view screen. The screen showed that the ship was drifting a bit. “Helm?” I called out. “The port connection caught for a moment,”...
Captain Prescott sighed as the two ensigns left. He waited until we could no longer hear their footsteps in the lobby of the administration building before turning to look directly at me. “I’m sorry.” I shrugged. “I understood why you reacted the way you did. I can see the pain in your eye when you remember how many members of your crew died in the last fight. Honor them by being a better commander in the future.” “Easy to say, but its going to be hard. I’m praying we find some good crew on...
My prediction that the next day would be hectic was proved earlier than I expected. A klaxon ringing in the bedroom woke me up. It felt like my head had just touched my pillow as the loud racous noise got all of my concubines to sit up. “What is that?” Constance complained. “AI? What is going on?” I asked. “A small fight has broken out in training room Sigma. The klaxon was being used to awaken all officers and senior enlisted,” The AI said calmly. “Were any of my crew involved in this...
I let everyone know about the reappearance of my brother. No one was very worried about him. Mike had proved to be a coward. The only worry was that he might try to catch one of the girls alone. Morgan used some contacts he had through his construction work and a week later gave everyone in our group pepper spray canisters. School continued. The teachers were increasingly distracted though, and the lessons suffered. Some of the teachers spent most of their time trying to chat up the students...
We loaded the suitcases onto the bus quickly. Once the bus was full, I informed the driver that we were going to head to breakfast. He said that he would park around the corner. Maurice, Jason, and I headed over to the restaurant. We arrived at the entrance and found that the rest of our group had already been seated. The hostess agreed to lead us to the private room where everyone was. I lagged behind the others as the hostess led us through the restaurant. Several of the patrons looked at...
We found the ramp and began making our way up the spiral. Ashley had her phone to her ear. "Yes, I know about it. I was filming ... No, I didn't put my video on YouTube." "Sooner," Lenore and I said in unison. "Look, we're trying to get to our seats," Ashley said. "No one here is hurt or anything." "No one?" I asked as I looked over my shoulder. Lenore giggled. "Morgan told us about how this security company has been known to try to shake down some of the luxury box ticket...
