Chapter 1
Ian was lost. The party he had been at had gotten boring when everyone else started making out with their girlfriends. Ian didn’t have a girl; he had never had a girl. He had female friends, sure, but only one had ever really captured his interest. A lot of the girls in his school were really beautiful, only Jenny Laskar, his best friend, had drawn his attention. She however, had never really seemed to express any interest in him except as a friend. So he was careful not to let her know; he didn't want to scare her and ruin what relationship they had.
Since sound
traveled better at night; he tried to listen for the music that had been playing.
He could use that as a guide back to the party. He shook his head. He never
should have wandered off this far just to take a piss. The hills around him
didn’t help either; since it was a dark night, he couldn’t tell any landmarks.
He would just have to wait until morning to find his way back to his car.
His mother would be worried and probably mad. Well, at least dawn was only
a few hours off; his watch said it was
He found a comfy looking rock by a tree and plopped down on it to await the dawn. Jenny would razz him; she never comes to parties like this. He did ask her to come with him the first couple of times, but she had said no. He suspected that the other girls were not as tolerant of her being so much smarter then them. Ian was equally as smart, but for some reason, it never got him labeled as a nerd. He was a nerd, but the ‘cool’ kids seemed to simply accept him as he was. He never flaunted his intelligence and actually tried to help the other kids, when he was asked. So did Jenny, but she got the ‘treatment’ anyway. It wasn’t that she was ugly or even plain, she was very pretty, Silky dirty blonde hair down to mid back, emerald green eyes with the light eyebrows that proclaimed her to be a natural blonde, a smallish nose that was a perfect fit on her face. Her body was nice too; she was about 125lbs, 5’8”, had “C” cup breasts and a nice tight heart shaped butt. Ian knew she took aerobics twice a week with her mother, and it showed. Add to all that the fact that she was very smart and Ian felt she was probably the most attractive woman he knew.
Ian caught a flash of something out of the corner of his eye, about two-thirds the way up the hill to his left. He felt a bit dizzy as he turned his head, but didn’t see anything more. He knew he had seen something; and if someone was out here, then perhaps he could get some help and get out of this situation. He shook off the dizziness and started walking toward where he thought he’d seen the light.
He found a cave in the side of the hill; he thought this a bit strange, since he had never heard of any caves in this area before. This was the general area that he had seen the flash, so he started calling out, hoping to find whomever it was. ”HELLO? IS ANYBODY HERE?” he yelled, but there was no response. He turned back to the cave; it seemed like there was a light in there. He slowly felt his way along, to make sure there were no drop-offs or holes he would fall into, and sure enough it started to get brighter the farther in he went. “HELLO?” He called, his voice sounding strangely muted in the half light. The floor of the cave seemed smooth and packed. He walked on, using the increasing light as a guide.
After only a few feet, he heard; “Please come forward young man.” A voice spoke from up ahead. Ian found himself moving despite the sudden trepidation he felt. He walked forward into a small cavern. There, sitting on a rock, was an older looking man waiting for him. The cavern was well lit and there didn’t seem to be another way out other then the way that he had come in.
“What is your name, son?” The old man asked.
“Ian sir. I… uh, got lost. Could you help me? I’m already late and my mom’s gonna kill me.” He said.
“I can help get you home young man, I am sure your mom will not be too upset. I would like to talk to you a bit first though.” He said.
“Uh, I guess that would be ok. What would you like to know?” Ian asked.
“Well, perhaps ‘tell’ would be the right word. You see; I have been looking for you for a very long time.” The old man waved Ian to a seat on a rock.
“Huh?” The confused teen asked as he sat.
The old man chuckled. “Well son; that is a long story. First, however, I would like to know what you think of Science fiction? You know ‘Star Trek’ and the like.”
“I love it; it’s my favorite fictional subject, I even like the old ‘Star Trek’s’, but not as much, since they seem more fake then anything else. Other shows are pretty good as well; ‘Andromeda’, ‘Farscape’, all of them.” Ian said, warming to the subject.
“Okay. How about the Greek and Roman Gods? Mythology?” The old man asked
“Well, I know of them of course, but never really learned much more about them then what’s required by the school. Mythology never really got my interest much.”
“Fair enough. What if I were to tell you the gods really did exist and that your sci-fi shows are not that far off the mark?” The old man said with a straight face.
“Are you serious? I'd think you're nuts! I mean, it'd be nice, but come on! None of that stuff is real.”
The old man smiled a sad smile. “Perhaps I should show you what really happened…” He waved his hand and the rocks and cavern walls dissolved into the bridge of a starship. A large contour chair sat in the middle front, close to a console of monitors and controls, behind, and off to each side were similar chairs; two on the left and one on the right. Set by their own banks of controls and monitors. A large man sat in the center seat, and a very pretty raven haired woman sat at the one to his left. A smaller, but very strong looking, man sat at one of the other chairs. The last chair was taken up by a very fit man with short, curly, nut brown hair. The view out the front caught Ian’s attention, a beautiful emerald green, with blue and brown patches. It was a planet and it was not any view of Earth that he had ever seen. It was like a freeze frame or a picture; nothing was moving.
The old man walked up to the center chair, and placing his hand on the back of the chair, spoke. “This was the Captain, his first officer…“ He indicated the raven haired beauty, “and his tactical and navigation officers.” He waved to the other men in the room. “You might have known them by name of course. Zeus, Hera, Aries, and Apollo”
Ian was aghast, “You mean to tell me that the Greek gods were actually aliens?”
“Humans actually, but yes, they were from another planet. We were on guard duty when we were attacked. I still don’t know how, but the enemy opened a wormhole, and blasted us into it. The blast damaged my primary power reactor killing most of my crew. In fact, only a handful actually survived the initial attack. Those few later became known as the gods.”
“Hold it: the gods supposedly existed thousands of years ago, but yet you are describing them as happening to you as well, no offence, you do look old, but not that old.” Ian said.
“Actually I am much older then that. You see; I am the ship. More accurately, I am the Artificial Intelligence Control Construct. What you see before you is a hologram. Much like on your television show ‘Andromeda’. The one main difference is that I have not been in a black hole; I am actually sitting on the dark side of the moon. I have been looking for you because, quite frankly, I am your ship. When a ship of my class is commissioned, I am programmed to respond to only the captains’ genetic profile. Since the crew passed on their genetic make up; I have been waiting for the specific DNA sequence in your body to re-surface so I could have my Captain back. There is also the small matter of the rest of the survivors DNA also re-asserting itself. I am not sure exactly who it is, but there is another like you in the area as well.” The Old man stopped speaking, because Ian was sitting with his mouth hanging open.
“No way in hell is all this real; you’ve got to be shittin’ me. I’m your Captain? Why did you even bother sitting here? Why not just head home? Or send a distress signal; call for help?” Ian asked as he reached out to touch the old mans arm, and his hand passed right through him.
“I could not leave because I was ordered not to. I had to stay and guard this planet, to protect the last of the bloodline. You see, after we crashed on your moon, we did manage to establish a communications link, due to the distance and damage to my systems; there was a time lag. We received a mayday from our main base. No one answered it. We watched as Talos was destroyed in a nova. I have since tried to contact any other survivors, but have gotten no response. The Captain ordered this course of action: Spread their DNA to as much as the local population as possible before their death and for me to await the re-emergence of the line. I was damaged so badly that it took almost 900 years to get myself repaired and de-contaminated. By that time, all the remaining crew had died. Only one opted to go into cryo-sleep to help with the adjustment of the new command. She has not been awakened yet. I cannot do it, only you can. There is much for you to learn Captain and little time. The enemy has probed this system, they know humans still live, I do not know if they believe you are still their enemy, but I think it wise to take precautions.”
Ian sat stunned. “I… I need to think about this. Can I go home now and sleep on it?” His head was swimming. He didn’t doubt what the old man said was true any longer, it was just hard to absorb all at once.
“Of course Sir, “The image of the bridge dissolved into a comfortable looking lounge. Ian found himself sitting on a couch against a wall. “In fact sir, we have been hovering above your home for the last few minutes. I put your car in the drive about an hour before you found me and a hologram is currently sleeping in your bed. Your mother did ask why you were late, but, 'you' told her you had a flat tire and that you were really tired. She smiled, gave you a hug and you went to bed.”
“Huh? How did you do all that? And what happened to the cave, and …” Ian was really lost now.
“Sir, you are aboard a shuttle. I used holograms and force fields to ‘get you lost’ so we could meet. I did not wish to cause undo stress in your life. So, I took a few liberties on your behalf. As for the hug from your mother, force fields, and tractor beams can make anyone believe you are actually there, of course, since they do not expect you not to be, they tend to overlook the small things that would give the ruse away.” The old man look pleased with himself.
“But what if I don’t want this? I mean; I am only 17 years old! Hell, I haven’t even gotten laid yet!” Ian really wanted to know what his options were. This was too big a thing to just forget about and walk away from.
“I am
afraid, Sir, that there really isn’t much of a choice in this. You could just
walk away, and try to forget everything I have told you, but what happens if
the enemy comes? Earth has no defenses against them. Without you, I cannot do
more then shoot down their ships IF they come into range. I calculate
that we have about a year or so before the probe can return with its findings,
and then about six months for their fleet to arrive,
based on the technology they had when I crashed. I am truly sorry.” He lowered
his head
“Look…what is your name anyway?” Ian asked
“Name? Well, my last commissioning named me
“So, you're
telling me your name is Oly?” Ian said chuckling.
“Don’t tell me that the person in cryo is
It was Oly’s turn to look lost. “Captain! How could you possibly know her name is Talena?!”
Ian was
laughing almost hysterically now. “All the… Oly… and
“Oh! I did not see that when I recorded those jokes! Maker! It is good to laugh again. Thank you Sir.” Oly said after he stopped chuckling.
Ian was wiping his eyes, he felt much better after the non-sequiter. “Okay Oly, so how do I go about getting back to you? I am pretty sure I’ll do this, but I might have some questions.”
“Remove your contacts, and your watch. Replace them with these. You do not need to take these contacts out; in fact it would be better if you did not. The watch is the actual communication device, and the contacts allow for a visual as well, however only you will be able to see with it. I must caution you about using them just anywhere. My existence is a secret, and I am sure your government would love to get hold of some of my technology. The contacts also let me see what you are seeing, and I can send you discrete text messages, like a pager, when people are around. You need to finish School anyway before we start this, so it will give us a chance to find the other person with the DNA. The contacts and wrist unit also give me the ability to 'teach' you in your sleep; Talosians had developed a way to 'write' information directly to your brain using the optic nerve.”
Ian put the contacts in, and could actually see better. He put the watch on, and looked at the digital face. It looked just like a normal watch, but felt a bit heavier. “Well, I am getting pretty sleepy, so why don’t you let me out, and I’ll talk to you later.”
“Right away Captain.” Oly turned to a door, which slid to the side like on Star Trek. They walked to a bigger, thicker looking door and Oly turned, “Rest well sir.”
“Thanks Oly. Talk to you later.” Ian said as the door slid open, and he walked across his front yard and into his house. He noticed things looked a lot brighter then they should have. “Cool, night vision” he mumbled. All of the sudden he could see the living room with daylight clarity. “Wow” he said. He walked quietly back to his room, he noticed his own sleeping form on the bed. He held the watch to his face. “Oly, good likeness of me, but I sleep in the nude, usually.”
“Sorry Sir, I did not know that. I did not want to presume, so this had to do.” Came the voice from the watch.
Ian chuckled, “It’s ok Oly, Mom never looks in on me anyway. Could you get rid of that thing so I can sleep there?” It started to fade as he finished speaking.
As Ian started to get undressed, Oly piped up, “Sir, with your permission, I will begin the teaching program tonight, as I said before; there is a lot for you to learn and not a lot of time. This way is much faster since the information is directly written to your brain.”
“What are you going to be teaching me? I could use some help in English class…”
“Mostly I will be teaching you all the things you will need to command. I will also give you as much history as I can. Your English class will not be much of a problem either. Since I can see what you see, I will ‘help’ you to finish. According to your school records, you have already done all you need to graduate; you just need to finish your time there. After you graduate, you should come up to your new ship.” Oly said.
“We’ll talk about all that tomorrow Oly, right now I need to sleep.” As he lay down, he asked. “By the way, this night vision is neat, but how do I shut it off?”
“The same way you turned it on Sir, just say ‘night vision off’ and it will go back to normal. Good night, Sir.”
“Good night, Oly. Night vision off.” His room returned to its normal darkness. He laid his head back, closed his eyes, and was asleep before he knew it.

Ian awoke the next morning to the smell of bacon cooking. He thought that was a very good way to wake up. Then he remembered the events of last night, and glanced at his watch to make sure it had been real. His new watch was defiantly in place, and it was informing him that he had gotten only 4 hours of sleep. He blinked his eyes a few times; he didn’t even feel sleepy. He got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to do his morning thing.
As he was leaving the bathroom, he almost ran over his little sister. She was 16 and a year behind Ian in school, She was a good student, but had more of a wild streak then he did. She was in excellent physical condition, preferring to try out for the football team itself, instead of the cheerleading squad. She was a bit shorter then Ian, at 5'9" and possessed one of the best bodies in his school. She had golden blonde hair down to mid back, and a natural golden glint to her skin. She looked trim, and most would guess her to weigh no more the 120 pounds, but he knew she was 135. She was solid muscle, and worked hard to maintain that condition. However despite her efforts, she was most defiantly female and didn't show any of the bulkiness that often went hand in hand with the professional athlete. Ian had been attracted to her since she started to develop and would have asked her out if she wasn't his sister. Her sparkling green eyes flashed a smile at him for the near miss in the hallway.
"Mornin' bro. Long night?" She smirked. She wasn't being mean: just playfully teasing him. She didn't go out to parties, not that she hadn’t been asked; she just had no interest in them.
"Yeah, kinda," he said. "I got a flat on the way home and got in late. Say, have you heard anything about your application yet?" She had applied directly to the U.S. Air force academy. She wanted to be an astronaught and explore new worlds. That gave him and idea or two. He would have to talk to Oly about it.
"Nope, but that’s not to surprising, it's only been a month, they'll have to evaluate me before responding." She leaned up and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Thanks for asking though. You're so sweet; I wish you weren't my brother!" she said, again teasingly.
"Having problems with Jonny?" Ian asked with a look of concern.
"Well, not really, just more of the same; he just wants to get in my pants. He doesn't really seem to care about my thoughts or ideas at all. He just gets so frustrating at times. I think I'm gonna break up with him, he just isn't what I thought he was gonna be." She said shrugging.
"Sorry to hear that sis, but hay! You'll always have me!" he said teasing her back. She looked at him sharply for a moment, then smiled and hugged him again.
"Well, if you don't let me into the bathroom; I'm gonna pee my pants." She said, pushing past him. She started to untie her robe before she closed the door. Ian turned quickly so he wouldn't embarrass her, and quickly went back to his room. He closed and locked the door, thankful that Cindy hadn't seen his sudden erection. He tried to concentrate on something else to calm his body down, being a seventeen year old virgin had its problems and he refused to masturbate with the image of his sister in his mind. The added erotic thoughts combined with her proximity might open a door he didn't want to know even existed.
"Captain! What's wrong? Are you ok?" Oly's voice made him jump.
"I'm fine, Oly. Why did you think I wasn't?" Ian asked after he swallowed his heart and convinced it to beat again.
"Your blood pressure and heart rate are enough to launch you into orbit! Your galvanic skin response coupled with the other readings said you were in considerable danger! Please explain your situation!" Oly sounded panicked.
"I'm fine Oly, nothing is wrong. I just had a… a problem and I'm dealing with it." Ian replied, then remembered what he wanted to ask Oly. His dream teaching had given him a better idea of how things worked with Talosian technology. "Oly, scan the last ten minutes of visual and analyze my sister's DNA potential, please."
"Yes sir." Came the response. An overlay image of the scene with his sister played across his vision, at a much faster rate then it really happened, freezing on an image of his sister. "Sir is this subject currently in the room next to the one you’re in?" Oly asked.
"Yes." Ian answered.
"Analyzing…Yes, she has Talosian DNA. However she is only 89.233%. What did you have in mind?" Oly answered.
Ian quickly explained his sisters' desires and what he had in mind. She wanted to fly in space. He could give that to her.
"Sir,
I have access to the academy's computer system and her application has been
denied. It is strange, because no explanation is given. There are comments that
support her as a candidate, but it has still been rejected. Notification has
also been delayed pending an investigation of her background. Damn I wish your
computers were more advanced, this
"That's not good, she is so looking forward to going there. I know she bypassed the normal channels for applying, but she really wanted to get into the Air force." Ian knew his sister would be heart broken.
"Well sir, We could try her out on some of the simulators on board, but that would mean she would have to be told everything. Have you figured out how to explain your own impending disappearance yet?" Oly asked
"Actually I've a pretty good idea, but I'm not so sure you're gonna like it." Ian said. He began to get dressed for the day; the bacon was making his mouth water. "Look, during breakfast I want you to scan my mother as well, I'll explain my plan to you later, but I've still got a few things to think through first."
"Yes sir." Oly said.
"By the way Oly, where did you put the shuttle?" Ian asked.
"Currently it is in orbit, cloaked, of coarse." Oly replied.
"Cool, return it to the ship and get four domestic drones, we're gonna need help moving." Ian said with a grin.
"Sir?"
"Just carry out your orders Oly; I'll tell you more later." Ian had a hard time not chuckling as he opened the door and went down to breakfast.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Breakfast was its' usual routine. Ian's mom; Beth, fixed a good breakfast. The standard rule at the house was: During Monday through Saturday, breakfast and lunch was a 'fend for yourself' and Supper was rotated through the three family members; Ian's father having passed away shortly after Cindy's birth. Sunday's, however, were a different story; Beth fixed Breakfast and Supper and insisted that everyone be present. It was a good rule; it allowed the three to catch up on each other's lives and to 're-bond' as Cindy put it once. Looking at Beth, one could easily see where Cindy got her looks; Beth was a very beautiful woman. In her early 30's she had taken care of herself well; her early pregnancy with Ian and later Cindy, only slightly delaying her college. She was now a doctor and had opted for private practice so she could raise her children. Her career and training did have its rough spots; internship and the rest that one must go through to become a doctor only served to prove her determination. She over came the handicap of single parenting with help from her parents and her friends. She looked no older then 25, and had slightly lighter hair then Cindy, but had a fair complexion. Where her daughter had firm C cup breasts, Beth had D's and she was about Ian's height, hinting that possibly Cindy might not be done growing. To Ian, these were the two most beautiful ladies in the world, (Jenny was a close third, but he would never tell her that.)
"So, what are you two gonna do today?" Beth asked.
Cindy shrugged, "I dunno, not much; maybe swim a bit and see if I can tan some more." Then she looked at Ian.
"I dunno either. No school work left really, just finals and I am pretty confident about those. We reviewed all last week and none of my teachers gave us homework. I thought I would just hang out maybe watch some T.V. Swimming sounds good too though." He grinned at Cindy, who smiled back.
"You know, a nice swim and a day of lounging around might be just what I need. I fell like I've been… well, bored lately. I need to think up a new challenge." She grinned at her kids, "New challenges keep life interesting and gives a sense of purpose. It also lets me re-focus on the important things, like my kids!" She smiled at them. "Why don't you two go relax for awhile and we'll all meet back at the pool about 11, I'll make some sandwiches and lemonade. We can have a good afternoon."
Beth was always trying to do things like this; she loved doing things with her kids. Ian had no doubt at all that she loved both of them deeply and would move the sun and the moon to keep them from harm. They both said ok, helped clear the table and load the dishwasher. Once chores were done, Ian and Cindy walked back to their rooms. Beth watched them go; she had a strange expression on her face neither of them noticed.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
"Cin, can I talk to you for a bit?" Ian asked. He wasn't sure how to talk to her about this, but he knew her well enough to know she would hear him out before she called mom in for the psychiatric evaluation she would feel he needed.
"Sure bro. What's up?" Cindy said cocking her head to one side and looking at him expectantly.
"Come to my room; this is gonna take a bit and you'll want to sit down." Ian told her and waved her to his room. She walked in and sat on his bed. He closed the door and pulled the chair from his desk, sitting on it backwards.
"Cindy, I'm not to sure about how to tell you all of this, but please hear me out and before you laugh, or think I’ve lost it, bear in mind, I CAN prove what I am about to tell you. After that I'm gonna need your help talking to mom, ok?" He asked.
"Sure
Ian, you know I trust you." She looked a bit worried. As Ian began
speaking her expression got more worried, as she realized he believed every
word he spoke. He talked for about a half hour, telling her everything that had
happened to him the night before. He told her about how the Talosians came to
earth and how they chose to ensure the survival of their race. He told her all
about
"Cindy remember, I told you I could prove everything. I can, but it will probably be a shock to you. Please don't think I'm nuts, at least give me a chance to prove it." Ian was a bit concerned; he didn't think she would react like this at all.
She nodded her head, "Ok, Ian. Prove it, please prove it." She sounded desperate.
Ian got up, sat next to her and put his arms around her. "Sis, I love you. This is real." With that he broke the hug and lifted his left wrist to his mouth. "Oly; Protocol override, acknowledge."
Oly's voice came out of his watch, "Override accepted sir, proceed."
"Is the holo-drone you used last night still here?"
"It is sir. In stand by mode; under your bed." Oly's voice sounded resigned.
Ian grinned, knowing that this was not what the A.I would approve of. "Good. Use it. I want to introduce you to my sister."
Cindy looked at Ian with fear. If he had gone to this extreme to make his fantasy real… A light in front of them caused her to turn her head back to the chair Ian had been sitting in. There, sitting in Ian's chair, was an old man, and he was scowling at Ian!
Ian took
Cindy's hand, which was beginning to tremble and said; "Cindy, I would
like you to meet my Ship's A.I. His name is
Cindy just stared at what was, to her, an impossibility. She had just seen this man appear from nowhere in front of her. She glanced back at Ian; he smiled slightly at her and nodded.
"Miss Cindy, it is an honor to make your acquaintance. I have been listening to what the Captain has been telling you. Though I do not approve of his methods, he is telling you the complete an honest truth." Oly smiled at her.
Ian spoke next, to give Cindy more time to adjust. "Oly, when will the shuttle be returning here?"
"Tonight, about
"Good, I want Cindy to get a communit when it returns." Ian said.
"Yes sir. I suppose you'll want one for your mother as well?" Oly asked.
Ian chuckled. "Oly! Your dream lessons told me that A.I.'s such as yourself were in capable of creative thought!" He couldn't resist teasing.
"Sir, I am an advanced unit. I may not be capable of creative thinking, but I can follow a logical path to a conclusion. If I may ask sir; why include your mother?" Oly seemed to realize he was being teased and relaxed a bit.
"She is an excellent Medical Doctor. We will need a CMO won't we?" Ian replied.
"Ah, yes sir. You are correct in that. I will also include a set of lenses for her, so I can begin teaching them as well. However, there may be a problem instructing your mother." Oly frowned.
"Like what?" Cindy spoke for the first time.
"If your mother is typical of the medical practitioners of your planet, then I should not teach her everything. For example; if I taught her the cure for any of the cancers now active on your planet, or even the cure for AIDS, do you think she could NOT treat people to cure them?" Oly asked.
"I think I see what you mean and you're right. I don't like it, but you’ll have to limit her instruction to current medical information on this planet. She can get the rest when we 'move'." Ian said
"Huh? Wait a minute, I think I missed something." Cindy looked at her brother. "Move? We're moving? And what's wrong with Mom helping sick people? Those people don't need to die if what I'm hearing is true. A lot of people could benefit from this knowledge."
"Cindy; say we let Mom have the full dose. She goes out into the world and starts curing all these deadly diseases. A small family practitioner all the sudden has the cure for all these bad things. How would she explain it? Proof would be needed. No one can know about this. The government would rip Oly apart to get all the secrets he has. Talosian technology is about a 1000 years ahead of our own. This planet isn't ready for that kind of thing yet." Ian explained. He frowned, "Besides, since I am the Captain, it's my call, my responsibility."
"Well, I don't agree with you on this but I'll accept your answer for now. Now; what's this moving business, and what's a CMO?" Cindy asked.
"Cin, How would you like your dream to come true?" Ian asked, still holding her hand.
"My dream?" She said
"Yeah, you've always wanted to fly in space and you've always been fascinated with aircraft and spacecraft. How would you like to be one of my pilots?" Ian asked her.
She hadn't considered that angle yet. She sat in thought for a minute as the realization settled in, her eyes lit up. "You mean… I could learn to fly… in space?" She stuttered the words out.
"Well, you'll still have to pass Talosian flight training, but yes that's exactly what I'm saying." Ian said
"God! Yes!" She hugged him.
"That’s
why we'll be moving aboard
She smiled, "I don't think it'll be that hard, but don't do it like you just did to me or she'll have you in bed with a thermometer in your mouth before you get passed the third sentence. I tell you what; let me start the conversation and you fill in the relevant details when the time is right. I think you'll be surprised; there are a few things you don't know about our mother." She smiled to let him know she wasn't going to tell him. "Now; it's almost 11. I suggest you get into your swimsuit and get out to the pool. I'll be right behind you. You stay ready too, Oly, we'll need you too."
"Very well, cadet." He rose and bowed to her. She grinned at the title and ran to her room.
"I have no idea what she's planning, but, I trust her so do as she say's; be ready. I suggest stealth mode and follow with the drone." Ian said and began to strip.
"Yes Sir." Oly frowned as he faded out. The hovering holo-drone also faded from view as the cloaking generator did its job.
Ian changed and walked out to the pool. His mom was already there wearing her bikini; she really was a very attractive woman. As he looked at his mother, a message appeared of to one side if her: Talosian DNA 91.132% - Oly. He nodded slightly and the message disappeared as fast as it had come. Damn she was beautiful. He gave her a kiss on the cheek, dropped his towel on a lounger and dove into the pool before his growing erection became more noticeable. These incestuous thoughts were becoming a problem. He really needs to find a girlfriend he thought to himself.
He swam the length of the pool under water, surfaced, and swam back to the other end underwater again. He surfaced to see his mother grinning at him and Cindy walking out of the house in a short thin robe. She had a slight flush to her skin, but was smiling at him and winked. "How's the water Ian?"
"Wet." He smiled back at her. He was glad he was in the water, since he knew she would take the robe off and be wearing a bikini like their Mom's. He really didn't want to try to explain THAT today too.
She walked up to the lounger on the other side of Beth's, dropped her towel and turned her back to him. It looked like she asked her mother something as she untied her robe. Beth looked up at her shocked, but nodded her head to her daughter. Cindy then pulled her robe off and laid it over the back of the lounger. Ian's erection came back full force as he stared open mouthed at his beautiful sister. She was wearing a thong suit. He could clearly see her perfect ass, the thin strap of material snuggled tightly into the cleft between her cheeks. He glanced at Beth, who was staring open mouthed as well.
Cindy slowly turned around and, looking directly at him, lifted a leg to straddle the lounger to sit. The front of her suit wasn't much bigger then the back, a thin strip of cloth covered her outer labia, her erect clitoris was visible even to Ian, and she had no pubic hair showing at all. The suit was narrow enough to be able to say with certainty she didn't have any pubic hair at all. As she spread her legs the strip became too small to cover everything, and her pussy lips slipped out of the sides. Ian closed his eyes and groaned softly as he felt the orgasm hit. He lay his forehead down on his arms to hide his expression from his sisters, (and his mothers) eyes. Well, he thought, at least his erection would go away now. He was wrong.
He turned and dove under the water again, swimming to the other end of the pool, trying to rinse the cum out of his shorts and to buy more time for his erection to go down. He turned under water, swam back to the edge and came up for air. Cindy had turned over, Laying the lounger flat and Beth was now rubbing lotion into her daughters back. Ian thought he could see her hands trembling. She glanced up at Ian, "Honey, could you come and finish this, I really gotta go pee."
"Sure Mom." Ian said. He thought that he was soft enough to get out now. He braced himself and lifted out of the pool, as his groin cleared the edge of the pool, he heard his Mom gasp. He glanced up to see her all but running into the house. He didn't think anything of it. Apparently Cindy had heard it as well; she looked up at the retreating back of their mother, but couldn't see anything wrong. She turned to ask what Ian thought was going on; her eyes grew wide as she looked back at her brother. "Oh my god!" she said.
Ian suddenly felt nervous, "What?"
"You're HUGE!" His sister said.
Ian looked at her a bit confused, "What do you mean?" He asked.
She turned and pointed at his crotch, "THAT'S what I mean."
Ian looked down, and the end of his semi-limp penis was hanging out the bottom of his swim suit. He spun around, putting his back to his sister. "Oh god! I'm so sorry, sis! Damn! I bet Mom saw too!" He quickly adjusted himself as he turned bright red. He looked back to his sisters eyes, expecting to see rage, anger, anything other then what he saw; awe and lust. "Please, Cin, I really didn't mean for you to see that, please forgive me!" He begged her.
She looked up to his eyes, lifting her eyes from his now hidden assets. "I don't think you have anything to be apologizing for Ian. You should be proud of that!" She said to him. "You're twice the size of Jonny, at least!"
"Sis, you're not supposed to see me like that, I'm so sorry. I… didn't mean to upset you or anything." Ian looked down, trying to avoid her eyes.
"Do I look upset? Don't worry big brother, I am defiantly NOT upset." She said, grinning. He looked up to see her smiling at him. "Now I really wish you weren’t my brother!"
"Cadet, his being your brother doesn't matter. You are both Talosian, not Terran. The taboo of incest is imposed upon humanity by genetics. Since neither of you are more then 10% Terran a genetic defect in any offspring between you is very unlikely. Further, if I read your mothers reactions and physiology, she would be happy to join in with either or both of you. That being said, there IS a regulation about sleeping with a superior officer, but in this case, I think that could be dismissed, since we need more Talosian DNA. Captain, you really should impregnate your mother and your sister. We are going to need the people. I feel that I should mention that your mother is currently ovulating and the cadet will begin probably tomorrow." Oly finished, sounding clinical.
Ian sat down. His mouth open as he stared at his sister, she stared back. "One final comment, since your mother is returning, Talosian women, with some rare exceptions are bisexual, due to a heightened sex drive. They are possessive of there mates and usually only choose two or three lovers. Think about it and I will answer your questions later." Oly said and was silent. Ian heard the patio door open, and turned to see his mother walking slowly towards them. She was carrying a plate of sandwiches in one hand, and a pitcher of lemonade in the other. "Ian honey, would you run and get some glasses for us? I just couldn't get everything." She said.
"Sure Mom." Ian jumped to his feet. The flustered young man didn't see the glance at his crotch both women gave him as he headed inside to get the glasses. He glanced out the window and could see Cindy talking to Beth. He stood there and watched for a while, giving the two women more time to talk.
"I wonder what that's about." He asked aloud.
"Sir, They are talking about you and the Cadet is telling your mother everything. I think it would be wise for you to stay here for a few minutes. There are a few other things I have not told you about Talosian physiology. I did not think I would have to tell you to be honest. Some Talosians had, for a lack of better explanation, powers of the mind; forsight, telekinesis, telepathy and the like. It was somewhat rare, but proven as a valid trait. It was a new thing and research was just beginning when the attack came. Some of the survivors did have these traits. It seems at least some of those have survived. Your mother is empathic. I do not doubt that you may have some ability as well; your fore-sire of ages past had the ability to 'command'. Not just the skill, but he could actually enforce an order. Of course very little research was done, but what little was known was that some Talosians were immune to the effects, it was surmised that their own abilities hampered the effect. However empaths, such as your mother could still feel strong emotion from anyone near them. It was a useful skill in the medical profession. It is indeed ironic that your mother is a doctor."
"Why are you telling me all this now?" Ian asked.
"Because of their conversation. I originally thought that breeding with humans would eliminate these abilities from the bloodline; I was wrong. It seems your mother and sister have been having sex together for a while. Your mother felt Cindy's desire and frustration, since she did not know it was the empathy and since she was already attracted to her, simply ‘helped’ her. It also appears from their conversation that they have both been fantasizing about you. I think it is time you go back out. Cadet Cindy is asking me to appear." Oly said. Ian nodded, picked up the glasses and walked back out to the pool.
His mother watched him approach and Cindy smiled at him. "Captain, I think it's time for Oly." She said. Her mother glanced at her. "He is my commanding officer, mom."
Ian simply grinned, shook his head, and said, "Ok, Oly, come out."
Beth jumped as Oly materialized in front of her. He bowed his head to her as he spoke. "I am Pleased to meet you Dr. Williams. I assure you that all that Cindy has told you is the truth, although somewhat abbreviated and only slightly exaggerated."
Ian poured three glasses of lemonade, and handed one to his mother. She took it and took a long drink, "Ok, I know this has to be real, but it's a lot to absorb. Please just give me a few minutes."
They all sat quietly for a few minutes, Beth asked a few questions to clear up spots that Cindy missed.
Finally she looked at Ian and asked, "So now what do we do? I don't want either of you to leave me, but it's obvious that you'll need to go. When?"
"Actually Mom, I would like you to come with us as Chief Medical Officer. We're gonna need a doctor and you’re the best one I know. The choice is yours however. I want to go aboard permanently after graduation, but I think I'll need to go up next weekend, after finals, you both should go with. There is a member of the original crew in cryo-sleep up there and my hand print is required to get her out of it. We may need you if there is any complications." Ian said.
"I would love to join you, hon. But what about my practice here?" She asked.
Ian then outlined his plan for 'moving' away, explaining that Beth had gotten a ‘job offer’ in another city and that She had accepted.
"That might work honey; I'll call the other doctors in town and see how many patients they can take. Yes, I think this will work." She said, warming to the idea.
"Also
Mom, Oly has a devise that helps you learn, as well
as communicate with us. You'll get that tonight, when the shuttle returns from
"Moving crew?" She looked at him.
"Four domestic drones, intelligent robots really, they will pack and load all our stuff into the shuttle, meanwhile, a hologram moving van complete with movers will be loading other holograms. So that people will actually see us move." Ian said.
"Okay, what about Cindy's last year of school?" Beth asked.
Oly answered for his Captain. "Doctor, the Cadet will complete her studies. I will see to that." He grinned at Cindy.
"Ok, one last thing; Cindy told me you wanted us to not only have sex with Ian, but to get pregnant by him as well? I know that isn't a good thing, I've seen the hell a family goes through when a daughter gets pregnant by a family member. Not to mention the odds of a birth defect or retardation go way up. I couldn't do that." Beth said
"Actually Doctor, as I explained to the Cadet, since you are mostly Talosian, any offspring will be quite normal and healthy. Long ago, that facet was altered because the female Talosian has such a strong sex drive that incest had become a very common thing. So it was decided to alter the genetic structure so abnormalities simply didn't happen because of incest. I recommended that the Captain impregnate both of you to further the bloodline. Random chance has taken over a thousand years to produce Ian. We need more with Talosian blood sooner then later." Oly replied.
Beth looked at her son, "To tell you the truth, Ian, I have been dreaming about you and so has Cindy. We've been lovers for the last year. She is still a virgin. She has never wanted anyone but you and I guess me." She smiled, and took Cindy's hand. "So I guess the rest is up to you. You've never hinted that you've wanted either of us, but I think now is the time for honesty. I know what I want; I think I know what Cindy wants…" Cindy nodded quickly, "…the question is; what do you want?"
Ian took a deep breath, sat down next to his sister and looked at his mother. "I don't know. I’ve had fantasies about both of you, but I tried very hard to push them out of my mind. I'd dream at night and Cindy or you would be the woman, I would change it to anyone else I could think of; usually Jenny. It doesn't work very well, you just keep coming back into the dream and I wake up. I always thought something was wrong with me. I think I've always been in love with you, Cindy. I didn't really know it of coarse, until I grew up some and realized what love was and how it felt. Then I made a scary, (for me at least) discovery; I was in love with you too mom. I knew these feelings were wrong. I fought them and forced them out of my mind, but it's been getting harder to do. You see, I've never been with a woman either and I think my body is trying to tell me something. Today, when you came out of the house dressed like that Cin , I literally came in my pants." He blushed. "That’s why I stayed in the pool. I didn't want you to see how much I wanted you. I jumped in the pool right away because I got an erection looking at you, mom, so I jumped in the pool to cool off. I'm really confused. I know Oly tells me I am Talosian, not just human, but my mind is still thinking human. Incest to humans is wrong. I want you both very much, so much that it hurts, but I can't get my mind past it being incest. Just give me a little time, ok? I really need to think about this." Ian looked at each in turn, a pleading look on his face.
Cindy leaned into him, and lightly brushed her lips across his. "You are all I've ever dreamed about Ian. I also have loved you since I was old enough to know what it was. I never had the problem with incest and if you had ever shown interest in me at all, I would have proven it. I think I see now why you didn't, especially since I've given you so many hints I thought I was obvious. I'm sorry it hurt you. If it will help, I won't call you 'bro' any more either. I really want this, I really want you. I'll give you the time and help as much as I can. So, from now on, and with both your permission, it's first names only."
Beth looked thoughtful, "I want this too, but for me it will be a bit more difficult. I still think of you as my kids. I can accept the first name basis, but I'll still think in terms of a parent. Though, I'll admit, I don't think many parents want to have sex with their children." She smiled at Ian, then leaned in and softly kissed his lips. "When ever you're ready Ian, just come to either, or both of us, even if you just want to talk, we'll always be here for you." She leaned back. "I do think though, that since you know about Cindy and me, we won't need to be so careful anymore, so don't be surprised. Got it?" She finished with a grin.
"Ok, but don't you to be surprised if I run to the bathroom!" He chuckled back.
"Well," Said Beth, "Since that is taken care of, it may seem like pressuring you Ian and in a way it is; I've always been a bit of an exhibitionist, and prefer to be nude, (you should see me when you two aren't home!) I’m taking my suit off. Please feel free to join me." She grinned. She stood up and reached behind her, to unhook her top. Ian stared in wonder as the material fell away and her breasts didn't sag at all. She dropped her top on the lounger behind her, and reached for her bikini bottoms. She slowly pushed them down, watching Ian's eyes the whole time. She saw his eyes bulge as her hairless pussy came into view. She then pushed them all the way down and stepped out of them, again dropping them on the lounger. She smiled, caressed his cheek, turned and walked to the pool. Turning around coyly, she winked at them and dove in.
Ian was in shock, he was numb. He watched as his mother, Beth, removed her clothes not two feet away from his face and then turned and walk, naked, to the pool. She had the body of a model! His Cock had sprung to life as soon as she released her wonderful breasts and only got harder as the site got better. He felt his sister beside him stand and begin to remove her tiny suit as well. His raging cock ached as he watched, rapt, as his sister mimicked her mother. Her body was everything he had ever dreamed and more. She was hairless as well and the muscles of her abdomen rippled as she bent over removing the thong bottoms. Ian almost came again as the crotch popped out of glistening labia. She then joined Beth in the pool, diving in to surface next to her, kissing her passionately when she did. They both turned and looked at the stunned Ian. He just sat there mouth agape, staring at them.
"Ahem, excuse me Sir. I do not mean to intrude, but if I were not an A.I. I would be naked and in that pool already. Sir, do not think, just follow your instincts, trust them! That is what they are there for." Oly said. Ian looked at him, he nodded and faded out.
Ian rose, he all but ripped his trunks off, ran and knifed into the pool. He surfaced with Beth in his arms. She immediately pressed her lips to his and there tongues dueled between them. She broke the kiss as she felt his hard member at her tunnel. "No Ian, Cindy should be first, I'll be here with both of you, but she needs you first. I love you both." Ian kissed her again, nodded and turned to Cindy, who was standing next to them. He lifted her almost out of the water and her legs went around his waist, her arms around his neck. Beth came to them both as Cindy slowly sank toward his cock. Ian felt a hand wrap itself around his shaft and hold him he felt Cindy's labia slowly spreading over his cock-head. She was so tight; Ian was starting to have doubts about this. Cindy slowly started to move, up and down, taking a little more of him into her on each down stroke. Finally, he felt his cock head inside her and he also felt the pressure that was her Hymen, her ‘Maidenhead’. She pressed against him, trying to push him through, but he didn't want to hurt her and resisted. "Cindy this is supposed to hurt, I don't wanna hurt you; I love you." Ian said.
She stopped moving, opened her eyes and looked deeply into his. Tears formed in her eyes, she laid her head on his shoulder and softly cried. "God! I love you too Ian, I've wanted this for so long, but I don't know how to do it." She said.
Beth spoke up, "I can help you two, I did hurt the first time, but your Dad was gentle. I've since learned a thing or two. Now Ian, stay very still; when I tell you to, push into her as hard as you can, until you feel her Hymen give way. Then stop and stay very still until she tells you to start moving. Ready?" She asked.
Ian nodded, he felt her hand leave his cock and move between them. He felt her hand against his belly as she seemed to be rubbing Cindy. Cindy moaned and started moving up and down again. Ian watched Beth as Cindy started moaning louder and moving faster. Finally Cindy seemed to tense up and almost screamed. Beth looked at Ian and said. "Now!" Ian's hand on Cindy's hips pushed down as hard and as fast as he could, at the same time he rocked his pelvis forward, and his dick ripped through her barrier like tissue paper, he immediately stopped as Cindy screamed in the biggest orgasm of her life. Her pussy clamped down on him brutally and she pushed hard against him, trying to get more of his wonderful tool inside of her. Beth had moved behind Cindy and was gently fondling her breasts, ready to catch her if she lost control. Ian held the trembling girl tightly as she slowly came back to earth.
"Oh my god! That was fabulous! It didn't hurt at all, it just made my orgasm harder. Thank you Ian. Thank you mo… Beth." She said. She let herself lean back against Beth. She left one hand behind Ian’s neck but placed the other over her mothers on her right breast. Then gently started sliding up and down on Ian's dick, gradually taking more into her until Ian felt another obstruction. He still had about an inch left of cock, but didn't push this time.
"What's that?" He asked, looking to Cindy.
She smiled, "Your hitting bottom, that's my cervix."
"Oh!" He said and slowly pulled almost all the way out, only to reverse the motion
"Damn! That feels so good Ian, don't stop; please don't ever stop." The girl purred and laid her head back on Beth’s shoulder. She started moving faster and he let her call the pace. He felt her cervix at the bottom of each stroke and soon she was tensing up again, moaning constantly. Her next orgasm hit her so suddenly that all she could do was thrust herself down hard onto his cock. Ian was so close to cumming himself that, when he felt his cock slip past her cervix, all he could do was hold still and pump his cum into her uterus. She screamed in ecstasy again as she fell unconscious.
He felt her go limp and looked at Beth fearfully. "Mom? Did I hurt her? Is she ok?" he was frantic that he might have hurt her; he held her tight to his body, but slowly pulled his still hard cock from her limp form.
Beth brushed her fingers through his hair, "Shhhh. Don't worry honey, she most likely passed out from pleasure. It does happen you know. Let's take her up to the loungers and lay her down. I'll look at her there."
"Mom, I felt my cock slip past her cervix when she pushed down on me so hard, I couldn't stop it. I was cumming too." He moaned.
Ian carried her to the steps out of the pool and then to the lounger she had been sitting on. He gently lay her down. "Oly! Get out here now!" He yelled.
Beth quickly looked over her daughter/lover but didn't see any signs of trauma. She knew a cock his size should never have been able to slip past her cervix and was worried she might be bleeding internally.
"Sir?" Oly said.
"Scan Cindy, see if everything is alright internally." Ian said.
"Elevated heart rate and blood pressure, minor tissue damage in her vagina, that is to say she is no longer a virgin, minor swelling in the cervical area; otherwise healthy. She appears to be a young woman who has only just lost her virginity and that's all." Oly said, sounding a bit smug.
"Thank's Oly." Ian said, breathing a sigh of relief. He held Cindy's hand until she began to come around.
As she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Ian looking back at her, concern and love plainly etched in his face, she smiled. "I love you, Ian."
Ian smiled back at her. "I love you too. You feel ok? You scared the hell out of me passing out like that."
She chuckled. "I bet. It was just so wonderful, I was building up to this huge orgasm and then it just slammed into me. Lights exploded before my eyes, then it all went black. I've never felt anything so wonderful in my life. You can keep doing that to me for as long as you want to."
Beth watched the two young lovers and smiled, she could feel the love between them. It felt so right she couldn't ever think how anyone could see this as wrong. She glanced at Ian's still solid cock. "Uh Ian, you still seem to be in need of some attention. I think I know of a way to help you with that." She stood and took Ian's hand, guiding him to the next lounger and had him lay on it. She straddled him, sitting down slowly, her hand placing the tip of him at her open and dripping sex. She was so horny, it had been years since she felt this. She was determined to make it last. Ian's eyes were fixed at the point of their joining and he watched as she slowly lowered herself onto him. Gods! Did this feel good! He was even bigger then his father had been. She felt the head of his penis push gently against her cervix as their hips met. He was a perfect fit. She leaned forward kissing him gently, he gasped as she slowly began to rock her hips back and forth, rubbing the base of her engorged clit against his pelvic bone. She could feel the first orgasm building quickly, more quickly then she ever remembered before. She felt his hands softly caress up her sides, making their gentle way to her breasts. He tentativly fondled them, softly squeezing and tenderly teasing the nipple of each. She broke the kiss with a loud moan. "Yessssss. She leaned back to give him better access to her breasts, the motion brought them up to his face.
Ian loved the way Beth felt as she slid down his cock, she was so wet that he just slipped into her.
She kissed him and he felt her rocking her hips against him, the soft pressure of her pussy squeezing his shaft and the feel of her cervix softly sucking the head of his cock, almost made him loose it. He managed not to explode and instead shifted his attention the wonderful breasts he felt against his chest. He lightly pinched each nipple and she leaned back moaning, lifting those globes to his face. He leaned in, taking her left nipple into his mouth and gently began sucking it like a baby would. He had read somewhere that mothers often liked the sensation when a baby nursed. He was unprepared for the reaction he got. She tensed completely, her pussy fluttered on his cock, she threw her head back and emitted a long low moan of pleasure. He got an idea, and used both his hands to lift her about half way off him, he then let her slide back down, he repeated this and soon she was panting and moaning, her pussy still spazming around his invading shaft. He lifted her faster and rammed back into her as hard as he could, burying himself with each thrust into her.
She was delirious with pleasure; her head rolling around as she screamed out "FUCK ME IAN! GOD YESSSS! FUCK ME HARD!!!"
Ian could feel his orgasm building and he tried to increase his pace as much as possible, but her thrashing around on him kept him where he was, it didn't matter for in a few seconds he felt himself start to shoot into her, it felt like gallons.
When she felt his cum soar into her aching cunt, Beth finally hit the peak of the orgasm she had been riding since they had started. She tensed up and quit moving completely. She could feel her pussy tighten around Ian's beautiful manhood as he continued to thrust into her. She screamed "AAAAIIIIIIIIIIYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!" and collapsed against him. "Damn! You’re a wonderful lover, Ian." She said as she snuggled into the hollow of his shoulder.
"I'll say he is! You both are! You had me cum three more times just watching you!" Cindy said from the lounger next to them. They looked over at her as she lay on her side, her right hand firmly embedded in her shiny pussy.
Ian sighed, "I guess I got over my problems with incest!"
"This wasn't incest, Ian love." Beth said quietly. "It was three people loving each other. I refuse to see anything bad with that."
Ian hugged her tightly. "I really do love both of you so much. I am still confused about a couple of things though." He gently lifted Beth off his lap so the blood could drain out of his cock. She pouted; he grinned at her.
Cindy chuckled, "What's that love?"
"I am a little confused about love I guess. I mean, I love both of you tremendously and I also think I am in love with Jenny. Before all this started, I had decided to ask her out. Since we have discovered our love though, I don't think that would be fair to you two. I really don't want to hurt either of you; hell, I want to marry you… both!" Ian said.
Beth smiled at him. "Lover; its ok to love more then one person as long as you're honest and truthful to the people involved. Cindy and I love each other as well as you, so I think we see what you're saying. I know how you feel about Jenny; I could see it in your eyes every time you looked at her. I am surprised she didn't see it as well; perhaps she has and didn't say anything, wanting you to make the first move. You see; I could see her feelings for you as well. She loves you too. I don't have a problem with you and Jenny, but please no more then her.” She chuckled.
"I might be able to help shed some light on that subject." Oly replied as he walked back from the house carrying a pizza, and a roll of paper towels.
"How do you do that?" Beth asked, pointing to the pizza.
"Get the Pizza, or carry it?" Oly asked
"Both. Either." She replied.
"Well, I ordered the pizza over the phone, paid with it by credit card, answered the door as The Captain, and brought it out at the right time. As for carrying it, well let us just say physics are a bit more complex then humans know yet." Oly grinned. "You are hungry?"
"Hell yes!" Cindy said, getting up and taking the pizza from him. They all chuckled and proceeded to pig out.
"Talosian tradition allows for multiple partner marriages, though they were called ‘bonding’. You three can get married. I would suggest that you wait a time and let you’re your new relationship develop. You might wish to include this Jenny person the Captain is fond of. Also there is a matter of possibly impregnating Talena as well. Since she is the only truly pure blooded Talosian left; it would make sense. You don’t need to worry about her though; Talena is a lesbian. She has never taken a male mate. She prefers women to men. I doubt that she would lay a claim to him beyond the impregnation, which can be done in the lab." Oly continued his earlier subject. "Since you three are already bonded, unless invited; she will not attempt to intrude. It was considered very rude and even subject to punishment by the commanding officer, or if a civilian, the judicial system." That seemed to ease the ladies minds, as well as Ian's. He didn't think he was ready for a 2000 year old girlfriend.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
It was a totally relaxed and very comfortable evening. The three lovers felt that they had indeed found their mates, they fit together perfectly. They talked and cuddled, then talked some more. They shared everything and learned even more about each other; as Oly had said; they bonded.
"Yes sir. Oly responded. Shortly two hovering metallic ovoid globes de-cloaked in the back yard in front of them. They were about twice the size of the old canister vacuum cleaners Ian had seen.
"Have them begin to pack all the non-essential stuff and stack it in the garage pending transport. Consult with Beth on what’s to be taken and what can be disposed of. After they've cleared a room, they are to clean it and re-paint the walls. See if anything needs to be fixed and we'll see if we need a maint unit down here as well." Ian ordered. Oly bowed and the drones headed inside.
"Honey, what are those things?" Beth asked.
"Remember the 'moving crew' I told you about?” She nodded, “They're called 'domestic drones' they handle all the house cleaning and domestic chores aboard ship. I brought them down to help us move. You'll have to decide what to take and what to throw away. The drones create a 'packing' crate around stuff. It's all but indestructible and nothing will get broken. We won't need any furniture or appliances and I would like to be able to tell you that you can give them all to goodwill, but how would we explain that? Don't worry, we won't be leaving anything behind, but if you decide to throw something away, be damn sure you're not going to change your mind. We won't be able to get it back once it's gone. Ok?" Ian told her.
She smiled at him, "That does take a load off. I was wondering where we were going to get all the boxes and stuff."
Oly walked back out. "Doctor, Cadet, these are for you, I took the liberty to make them as feminine as possible. Please put the watches on and the contacts in your eyes." He waited while Beth complied, but Cindy only put the watch on, and tried to watch her mother to see how the lenses went in. "Cadet, I take it you have never worn contact lenses before?" She shook her head. "I see, Doctor, could you assist her?" Beth blinked a couple of times, adjusting the lenses to her eyes, then nodding, turned to Cindy as Oly explained how the gadgets worked. He also told them that when they awoke tomorrow they would know a lot more about their ancestors and were they really came from.
"Now Doctor, I believe the drones have some questions for you in the garage." Oly concluded. She thanked him, rose and picking up her suit, walked back into the house.
"Oly, I thought of something. Do the replicators on board have the structures of the things we take for granted here?" Ian asked.
"I do not understand sir." Oly said
"For example, let's say I want a wool shirt, do the replicators know the molecular structure of a wool shirt?" Ian explained.
Oly looked thoughtful a moment, "No sir, they do not. I have analyzed all the organics of this world, but none of the manufactured goods, is that something you would like included in the database?"
"Yes please, there a lot of manufactured things on this planet we shouldn't be needing, let's restrict it to anything smaller then say, a pick-up truck. Please include culinary items in that. I also want a complete cultural database assembled as well and placed in a protected memory bank. If something happens to this world, at least our cultures will survive." Ian said
"You will need to authorize construction of a new memory center for all the additional information sir." Oly stated.
"Are the materials available on the moon?" Ian asked and when Oly nodded; "Good then you have authorization.”
Oly bowed acknowledgment and faded out.
"You know," Cindy said. "We should get Oly to change his image. I just get the willies being naked with an old man looking at me. I mean, I know he is an A.I. and such things don't matter, but it might be better if we changed him. I just feel like grandpa is watching me." She chuckled.
"Ok love, but that will have to wait until we get to our new home. I have a question that I've been dying to ask," He grinned at her, "Why do you and mom both shave?"
She laughed, "We don't silly. Like you, neither of us has ever grown any hair down there. With us though, we don’t get any under our arms, or on our legs either. I asked mo…Beth about that too, she just shrugged. Let's go inside, it's getting chilly out here."
He stood and took her hand, she picked up their towels, suits and her robe. "I told you telling Beth wouldn't be a problem if done right." She grinned. He chuckled, shook his head and gave her a quick kiss. Hand in hand they walked into the house together.
