01

Athena’s head swayed backwards as she moaned in joyous, blissful, pleasure at the drone between her legs methodical pleasuring of her Queen’s body. The drone, a brunette with platinum streaks flying through her hair, x01, from the newly conquered Earth, had been sent to her as a companion for Athena’s stay on Earth as the planet’s new Cyber Queen, Cordelia, furthered her plans for recreating the troubled planet.

The red haired, almost slightly graying, nearly 800 year old Cyber Queen, the original, stroked the drone’s hair when it came up to join her after servicing her superior. Athena had been served by countless thousands of women, but this one was especially skilled in carnal pleasure. The young drone served at the side of Queen Cordelia and was equally as praised by Her Majesty.

Athena had been amused earlier listening at dinner to x01 recount her times with the drone’s lover, f2478, who also served at the side of Earth’s Cyber Queen. The drone had recounted romance, political intrigue, and the general day to day life of obedience. Athena was greatly pleased hearing new drones so happy; all those hundreds of years ago, she would have never thought the Empire would be this large and this successful.

“You are such a good little drone,” Athena remarked to the drone, who snuggled up a bit tighter under the covers. f2478 was away with the Queen’s Chosen, Isabella, on a diplomatic mission. “I am really enjoying our time together. You have a great enthusiasm.”

x01 brightened and nibbled at her superior’s neck. “Thank You, Ma’am, it is an honor to serve you. x01 hopes she is a satisfactory example of Her Majesty’s drones?”

Athena kissed x01. “I am very satisfied with you and your planet’s eagerness and enthusiasm. So many hundreds of years of this Empire can lead me to cynicism, but your planet is a joy.”

x01 kissed Her Majesty back. “x01 wishes she could have been there, so she could have served all those years, Your Majesty.”

Athena smiled and pulled the girl tighter. “Yes, well, that was certainly a long time ago. However, while it would have been nice to had you as a drone from the beginning,” she poked a finger playfully against the drone’s nose, “I am happy you now know your place.” The drone stared at her funny. Most drones did not remember their previous lives. “There actually was a time before there was a Cyber Queen, believe it or not.”

x01 let out a mock gasp and Athena actually giggled at the drones humor. “I don’t tell this story often, your Queen knows it well, but I think you should know it.”

“Well,” Athena began, stroking the drone’s hair as she tried to order her thoughts on such a long ago event. “It may be odd for a drone to ponder about a Cyber Queen, but I was once just a regular young woman on a planet like the one you came from.” x01 feigned a slightly giggly mock outrage. Athena smiled at Cordelia’s clear insistence on teaching the drone Earth’s penchant for sarcastic replies. “I was a student studying to be a scientist and I was working with a teacher who did work with our state government.”

Athena paused and pulled the drone a little closer. “There was a very bad man, who had also been a scientist too. My teacher and him had been rivals a long time before.” She thought for a moment, still bitter about what happened next. “He had developed a crude form of brainwashing and began collecting women and turned them into more or less mindless dolls.”

“Like some drones,” x01 whispered softly.

Athena sighed. “Well, like some drones certainly, but these were done cruelly and rather crudely. Most of the women were basically lobotomized in a violent and harsh way. I think we do a lot better than that now.” x01 gave a tug at her gently in agreement.

“So, one night I was leaving the university and a woman approached me. She was dressed very provocatively and asked for the time. When I looked down, she shot me with some kind of dart that acted as a nullifier. After a moment of anger, I forgot why I was angry at her and followed the woman to a van where another woman in a latex suit waited.”

Athena paused for a long moment. x01 was a bright enough drone, her Queen, Cordelia, willing, to understand that these were memories Athena did not enjoy reliving. How wonderful women were that they had to work through that and not just have them brainwashed out like a drone would. The drone leaned up and kissed Athena, pulling away slowly to urge her Goddess to continue.

“The next few days are very hazy...especially as I grow older, a lot of this has blurred together...I was attached to a machine and my mind was very crudely reprogrammed. My intellect was wiped and replaced with a trusting, simple minded, personality which was very easy to manipulate. I was trained to think of myself as an object, a thing to be used by men. Men were to be obeyed, but especially one man. This scientist,” she continued, “his name has been wiped from the records because any legacy is too much, turned me into a love smitten bimbo sex doll. I was in love with him and did whatever he said. He violated my body and dressed me like a whore. I spent weeks with him as an infatuated, obedient, rape toy.”

“What happened next would change...well, it would change the damn galaxy I suppose. They caught him after some time...it was something like five or six weeks. Many of the women were beyond deprogramming. He had captured them over about a year or so. A corrupt law enforcement captain had them sent to a escort service his cousin ran as chattel.” The Cyber Queen turned away momentarily. “I was partially deprogrammed enough to understand what had happened to me, but my mind was pretty broken. I tried to kill myself, desperate for the clarity I had found as a toy, and was sent to an asylum.”

Athena paused as she heard a quiet whimper come out of x01’s tiny mouth. “I spent months in that damn hospital, which served both as an asylum and a venue for experimental psychosis drugs. My teacher showed up, and I was overjoyed, but he just wanted to run tests on me. Most of them made me worse. Most of the time however, I still couldn’t say no. I was happy to hurt myself for him. He, planning a career making series of papers on me, manipulated this and eventually used me sexually.”

The Cyber Queen wiped a tear out of x01’s eyes. “I was lost in a fog, looping between docile obedience and just as mindless rage.” She mouthed something, and then continued. “One day, a nurse came in to switch my meds. They were trying some sort of experimental drug cocktail, but she was tired and put too much of the one drug into the cocktail.”

She looked away for a long moment. x01 broke the silence. “Did it fix you, Ma’am?”

Athena laughed and looked over at the dark haired drone., “Oh, it did. The drug cleared my mind and gave me a great sense of sudden clarity. The fog that had held my mind went away and I was able to begin assessing my situation. My teacher and the other doctors were fascinated by the changes and honestly so was I. They couldn’t figure out how that cocktail had worked, but I knew the mixture had been off. As I got a little better, I stole a copy of the records and figured out the amount that had been off to fix me.”

Athena stopped momentarily and kissed x01. “What happened next was how you would be born so many hundreds of years later.” x01 gave a quiet “yay” as she placed her head on Athena’s chest. “I began stealing small amounts of each substance needed for a cocktail I was creating. I was allowed to walk the grounds and found it easy, especially if I let a doctor fuck me, to get what I needed. As my head cleared up, and I was able to think on my own again, I missed the clarity that my brainwashing had given me. I was depressed and lost in my own work, trying to figure out how to sharpen my mind. I made a cocktail that fixed my brain and sharpened my focus. My focus came to fix on, for the first time ever probably, me.”

x01 giggled. “You droned yourself in reverse!”

Athena smiled. “Well, I guess that is one way of putting it. As I became more focused on my own mind and what I wanted, I realized how I had gone from fuck toy of a man to just another subject for my teacher. Just another woman moving through her life as a different kind of slave depending on the outfit I wore. I longed for something new. I wanted to share this revelation, but most of the women in the asylum had been so socially conditioned to accept this sort of treatment, that they would never question this treatment. They considered themselves dirty and bad.”

“It was one chance decision that fueled the beginning of the Empire. The peace and clarity I felt was something I wished other women could feel as well. I began to daydream about these kinds of women surrounding me, thriving, loving, living.” Athena squeezed x01’s hand gently under the covers. “Then I began laying awake at night imagining them thriving and loving and living under my guidance. Under my control. As my possessions. I started pleasuring myself to these fantasies of peace, happiness and dominance.”

She gently poked x01 in the nose again. “That was when I made the first ever drone. The night nurse on the weekend shift was a lazy woman who barely paid attention to me. She came in, gave me meds, and left. I noticed from sneaking out and observing her on the floor that she was also very casual with leaving her cart laying around. So, I snuck onto the floor one night and swapped the drink she carried with her with the cocktail I had created.”

x01 ran a manicured finger over Athena’s neck. “What did it do, Ma’am?” She spoke quietly and lazily, so happy to be with in the arms of the Cyber Queen.

“The cocktail made her very susceptible to suggestion. My suggestion. I had reasoned that, with a few changes, the cocktail could be combined with the one that had originally programmed me to take control of someone, but something was missing. On a weekend pass, I went back to my old apartment, which was still under my name, and found some of the experimental micro-technology I had been working on in school. The idea held that once inside of a person’s body, the tiny bots could be programmed to control various aspects of them. My hypothesis held that with an activated trigger phrase or word, the bots could go active and turn someone into your obedient pawn.”

Athena smiled proudly and kissed x01’s forehead. “It worked so well.”

“I triggered her and after a moment she dropped the pad in her hand and stood at attention. She blinked a few times and then looked at me with this lovely, happy, loving, look on her face. The nurse blissfully said, ‘Queen Athena, how will I obey you?’ She looked so happy and content, which made me feel happy. I told her to come close and then I kissed her. She returned the kiss and we made love in my bed.”

“From there, with this success urging me forward, I commanded her to return to her life and await my command. As I made more of the cocktail, which the drone supplied me with materials. I tested it on another nurse, and I had her come to me each night to make love. I had never considered women, but suddenly it made so much sense to me. I knew their bodies, their touches, and their souls. Their happiness made me want to possess each and every one of them forever.”

x01 looked up brightly and proudly at her Queen. Athena continued to tell the story. “Well, the nurse returned the next weekend and I sprang my plan into action. During the week, I had commanded her to seduce a maintenance man who worked for the local water department. She made him drink the cocktail and he came along at my command. I looked at him and felt this...I had been so abused by men in my life and...I just did not see much use for them anymore. Obediently, he followed my next orders: spike the asylum’s water supply with the nanobots. I also ordered him, once he had completed this task, to walk into traffic.”

Athena loved how unfazed x01 was by this statement. “When I saw on the news the next morning that he had killed himself as commanded, I was excited. I activated a few more nurses and a male doctor. I began experimenting with hypnosis to further indoctrinate them. I began rewriting the sexuality of the women, diverting them towards desires for not only me, I did enjoy myself,” she paused at x01’s giggle, “but towards other women as well. A few of the nurses programmed the male doctor’s wife, who became his cruel Mistress. Looking back, maybe I was a jerk to some of the men, but I was not, after all I went through, really in the mood for any bullshit. This...project...was not about misandry. It was about fulfilling this feminine, utilitarian, drive I had inside myself.”

Athena stared at x01 longingly for a moment, wondering what the drone would say if the Cyber Queen told her that she was about to say yes to marriage to a male when she was droned.

“Some time passed and my what I was not quite calling drones yet, that is another story, captured and programmed the Head of the Asylum. Once he was under control, I commanded him to call a mandatory general meeting for the entire staff. What happened next is fairly obvious.”

Athena stopped for a moment and laughed softly, and then the Cyber Queen smiled at x01’s mirrored giggle. “I have seen so many worlds over the years who had scenes in their literature or cinema rather similar to what happened next. The confused, or bored, or utterly uninterested staff watched me walk in just as the man who ran the asylum began to speak to them. There was some confusion, I said something, in retrospect, which was rather offensive, and as two guards came at me I spoke aloud the phrase that would trigger every single person in the room.”

“By this time, I had updated the bots, so they would automatically move to attention and form two gendered groups. At one point I think I even did it by hair color, which one of our planets still does to this day.” She petted x01’s hair gently.

After sending the men to deal with the residents, who were also triggered shortly after, I began interviewing all of the women. I assigned them various tasks at my side and sent some out into the public to spread the nanobot cocktail to others.” Athena looked down at the sleepy drone, whose half open eyes were very tired. “Well, to make a long long and complicated story short, we took over the town within a week and then kept moving. One of the lady doctors had a brother in the military, so we gained control over that eventually as well.” The Cyber Queen rolled her eyes as she undressed the passive, sleepy, drone, “They fought back, of course, but the cocktail was everywhere. Once we had some scientists under control, we quickly enhanced by experiments in hypnosis to a very, very, early shell of what we do now. The technology changes a lot, but the methods are still true to what I originally experimented and envisioned back then.”

Athena slid into bed with x01, who was now more awake again and gently rubbing between the Cyber Queen’s midsection. “That is pretty much how it all began. We came, we saw, we conquered a bunch planets, like they used to say on Earth.” Queen and drone kissed, Athena returning it a bit harder as the drone’s fingers worked their magic. “We have a big day tomorrow.” She kissed x01 again, motioning for the drone’s head to go under the covers.
