Note:  When the conversation is telepathic, it is indicated by italic font. 

It was a beautiful Monday morning in late June at Nancy and Bob’s estate also the home of N & R Security Services.  When Joyce, Sally, Terry, Rusty and Sarah sat down for breakfast Sarah said, “You know it feels odd with only five of us in the house.” 

Joyce said, “Well before you all joined us, usually there was just five of us, Adam, Mom, Dad, Sally and me.  Although Rusty and others occasionally stayed over when working for N&R. 

“Well it sure seems unusually quiet,” responded Sarah. 

“I agree that breakfast is much more lively when the others are here,” added Sally.  “With that in mind, I wonder how Zoe’s group is doing.” 

Joyce said, “From what she said in her email, the tour is going really well, much better than the last one.  She noted that this group had considerably more personality off stage than the previous one.  They are very pleased with the cooperation from the performers and the crew.” 

“Great,” exclaimed Rusty.  “From what they said of the first group, they likely flunked social skills in kindergarten.” 

“Mairia’s group has a break between summer school sessions next week and are planning on spending it here.” 

“Great.  It will be good to see them,” said Terry. 

“Yes it will,” responded Sarah.  “When I checked the schedule this morning, I realized that I will be the only one in the office till Joyce returns from her appointment.” 

“Wow,” exclaimed Sally.  “How did that happen?  More importantly why didn’t we catch it before now.” 

“Don’t know.  The calendar shows, Rusty, Sally, and Terry at a customer.  Bob, Nancy, Stan and Julia returning on Saturday.  Shirley, Janice and Thomas return on Monday.  Fortunately we don’t have any guests or document deliveries scheduled for the rest of this week.” 

“I didn’t realize that,” responded Joyce, “or I wouldn’t have scheduled a meeting with the registrar for this morning.  I could change it.” 

“When do you think you will be back?” asked Sarah. 

“The meeting shouldn’t take long, so a little after lunch. 

“While not ideal, I think we should be okay.” 

“Better yet, why don’t we close the office for the day,” responded Sally.  “We’ve done that before.  After you take care of the messages, switch the incoming calls on the primary lines go to the answering machine.  All of us typically call the private line.  Alternatively, we can text you. 

“That will work.  I’ll use the out of office message rather than our normal one.” 

“Good idea.” 

Rusty noted, “In thinking about it, this situation could be due to a change in this customers project and nobody noticed the impact on the calendar.” 

“I can see that happening, especially with this customer,” responded Sally smiling. 

“Oh, I just remembered,” said Joyce, “Adam will be home on leave in about a month.  It will only be for a week or so, as it is between training sessions.” 

“Great!” exclaimed everyone. 

After glancing at the clock Rusty said, “We need to be leaving.” 

“Me too,” added Joyce. 

As they started to clear the table Sarah said, “I’ll take care of the dishes.” 

Joyce, Sally, and Terry each gave Sarah a hug and kiss before leaving.  Rusty was last and as he gave her a hug said, “Having only one person in the office has happened in the past but not recently.  So like Sally suggested put up the closed sign and leave the lights off in the front.  Be sure to maintain your awareness.” 

Smiling she responded, “I know, but as you know my senses are a bit tingly.” 

“Oh, no, not that,” responded Rusty with a smile then gave her a kiss.   Which was interrupted by the sound of a horn.  As he released her, “We’ll be back as soon as possible.” 

“Good.  Be careful.” 

“You do the same. 

After cleaning up the breakfast dishes, Sarah checked the status of the alarms for the various buildings.  Seeing everything was set appropriately, she set the alarm for the house then then took the underground tunnel to the office.  At the alarm pad she signed in, then left the perimeter alarm on. 

In the reception area, Sarah checked that the entrance door was secured and that the closed sign was in the window.  On exiting the reception area, she secured the door which activated the intrusion alarm for that area.  At her desk, she changed the phone message as they agreed, then listened to the phone messages.  As appropriate she converted each message to an email then sent them off to the appropriate person. 

While she was considering which task to do next, she noticed the date on the calendar causing her to pause.  After a moment she realized why it had distracted her.  It was some eighteen months ago that she began living here and a little over twenty-one months since she met Alice, Judy, Janet and Jill. 

She thought, “Well my life has certainly changed during that time.  Now I have a very tight bond with Rusty, Sally, Terry, and Joyce that seems unbreakable.  Then there are Alice, Judy, Janet, Jill, Bob, Nancy and quite a few others that are extremely close friends.” 

After considering past events for a few moments she checked the clock.  Seeing the time she decided to do a walk through before beginning to review the new scripts. 

After putting on her belt and redirecting incoming calls on the private line to her cell, she walked through the building.  She checked the doors, offices, rooms and windows as she went through. 

From the public side, the building appeared to be a small warehouse with four truck doors, a warehouse entry door with an adjoining office.  Two doors were for semi-trailers while the others were at step van height.  There was a large lot in front of the building, which transitioned into the adjacent office's parking lot, which was monitored with motion sensors.  A fence hidden by shrubbery that blocked access to the sides of the building.  Just inside the fence was a matrix of intrusion sensors.  The area adjacent to the truck doors was designed to give the building a small appearance.  From the estate side it had the facade of an old stable with thick stone walls. 

As Sarah walked through she thought, “This building never ceases to amaze me.  A clever design yet very functional.”  Before returning to her console, she found a towel and laid it on the seat of her chair.  Sarah checked her email and site monitors before she began reviewing the scripts for a security installation. 

Her attention to the scripts was interrupted by a tone signaling receipt of a text message.  Joyce inquired whether she was comfortable with her stopping by Mairia’s on the way back. 

Sarah responded, “Well I guess, but hurry back.” 

Joyce quickly responded, “I will.” 

Sarah smiled at seeing the response as she noticed that it was time for lunch.  Before leaving for lunch she took another walk through the buildings then set the alarm before leaving. 

On sitting down for lunch she wondered how the job was progressing.  When they were near each other, she could easily share thoughts with Rusty and to some extent with Sally and Terry as could Rusty.  If they weren’t near each other, they were careful so that they avoided startling them by interrupting their thoughts.  When Rusty and her had a telepathic conversation with the potential to affect their three friends, they would verbalize it when there was an opportunity.  They felt that doing otherwise, over time, had the potential to cause distrust.  About the only time they tried to look at the thoughts of others was when their actions caused them concern.  Even so they weren't real sure how to interpret some concepts they saw, however knowing the persons intent or attitude toward them was useful. 

She smiled as she pushed a thought to Rusty, “I love you.  You are the most precious person in my life.” 

“Hey, we're trying to work,” said Rusty chuckling. 

“I'm surprised you heard me.” 

“Well thank you, I did.  We feel the same about you.  How is it going?” 

“Boring.  I’ve been reviewing the scripts that are in development.  There are few instances that I don’t think they are quite right, so I highlighted my concerns.” 

“Good.  If you don’t think they are quite right then there is likely an issue.” 

“How is the job coming?” 

“Not as quickly as we planned but at the moment, we aren't sure whether we can complete it today.  Now, I need to focus elsewhere.  We love you.” 

“I love all of you.” 

“I'll tell them but I think they sensed your comment.  We'll call later.” 

Sarah smiled for several minutes as she thought about what they had just done.  Sharing their feelings through their link for each other far outweighed their ability to share them in words they verbally expressed. 

It was late afternoon when Sarah’s daydream was interrupted by the phone ringing.  She answered it on the third ring. 

“We are on our way back,” said Sally. 

“Good,” replied Sarah.  “How did it go?” 

“Well as noted earlier, we will be coming back tomorrow as there are still several items to finish.” 

“Did we make a mistake in planning?” 

“No.  Not really.  Some of the work was more difficult to accomplish than it appeared to be.  In hindsight, we should have specified four people for the job.” 

“Okay.  I think I'll tell the cooks that they can leave once dinner is ready.  We can warm it up when you all get here.” 

“That's a good idea.  Is Joyce there?” 

“I don’t believe so.  She texted me that she wanted to stop by Mairia's.  She indicated she didn’t plan on staying long, but... 

Laughing she responded, “Agree, she likely lost track of time.  See you soon.” 

After disconnecting, Sarah told the cooks that they could leave as soon as dinner was ready to place on the table.  They would take care of warming it up and cleanup. 

Having been interrupted, she decided to do another walk through.  As she was walking about, she thought, “I think I am doing this more for exercise.” 

After checking the sensor log, she returned to reviewing the scripts for polling a site’s security sensors.  This was interrupted when Rusty said, “It must be nice to sit around all day.” 

Sarah screamed and jumped, “You scared me.” 

“Sorry, didn’t you hear the chime?” 

“No.  Which is surprising since it is so quiet, the least little noise tends to interrupt your thoughts.  Which usually results in you going back over the lines of script you just reviewed.  We need to figure out how to avoid having just one person in the office.  Our sensors give a lot of warning but we would still need to respond.” 

“I agree,” replied Rusty. 

While Sarah and Rusty were hugging Sally started looking at the security logs. 

Joyce walked in saying, “Sorry, I'm late.” 

Before anyone could respond Sally said, “Crap.  Sarah, you didn't hear the gate opening alarm because the audible was turned off for the office.  With you here by yourself, it should have been turned on.” 

“I checked the settings this morning and everything appeared to be correctly set.” 

“They were, except for that option.  I’ll fix it and make the setting choice more obvious.”  She then sat down at the console to alter the settings. 

“Well that still doesn't solve the basic issue of only one person being here.  Anyway, dinner is waiting for us in the kitchen.  The cooks told me it was ready so all we need to do is warm it up.” 

“Good, I'm hungry.” 

As they closed up the office Joyce asked, “How come you guys are so late?” 

“Well I could ask you the same question,” responded Sarah. 

“We thought we could finish the job today so delayed leaving so we could finish a few items.  We are close but there are a few tasks to wrap up tomorrow,” responded Rusty. 

“My visit to the registrar's office didn’t last as long as I expected, which is why I texted Sarah about a brief visit with Mairia,” noted Joyce.  “Obviously, I stayed longer than I intended.” 

“I sort of suspected that would happen.  When did you return?” asked Sarah. 

“I came in the back way maybe ten minutes before I entered the office.” 

“So that audible didn't work either,” said Sarah. 

“What?” 

“I was proofing scripts and I didn’t hear our truck enter the estate.  It turns out the audible had been turned off in the office.” 

“I heard the chime in the house just before I came over.  Oh, we are having visitors this weekend.” 

“Visitors?” said Terry.  “When did you hear that?” 

“Yep, believe it or not, Jill and Janet will be here tomorrow morning late, along with Judy.  It was in an email I received this afternoon.” 

“Interesting,” said Sarah.  “I wasn’t aware of that as I haven’t checked email since this morning.” 

“Oh, my,” laughed Joyce, “you’ve just lost your hip status.” 

“I’ll have you know we are not into instant gratification so we don’t jump every time the message bell dings,” responded Sally with a smile.  “As to Judy, I am surprised Alice let Judy come as those two are almost linked at the hip.” 

“Well it's no different than you guys,” said Joyce. 

“You better include yourself in that group, besides we aren't that bad.” 

“Rusty, should I tell them about my dream?  The context of the dream seems very close.” 

“I don't see why not.  It would make everybody a bit more alert.” 

“The underlying reason for my concern about office staffing is due to a reoccurring dream.  It's not a new one and I'm sure I've mentioned it before.  It doesn't occur every night but has reoccurred numerous times.  Afterward, I can remember some of the detail from the more frequent parts but it is hazy.  Besides me, I am certain that Rusty, Terry, Sally and probably Joyce are in it.  There are others that I sort of recognize.  It seems to take place at a remote tropical location perhaps on an island.  From what I saw of us, our appearance differs some from how we look now.  In the last dream, there seemed to be more women associated with us, but I only saw shadows.  There were other people there and the number seemed to be larger than the last time the dream occurred.  Some of the additional people resembled people I know.  Some people at the location had similar builds to ours, but with much longer hair and what looked like a mane running down their backs.  During the dreams, I've never felt any concern about our safety or freedom to act.  Some of it was strange enough, that I'm not sure I understood what I saw.” 

Sally and Terry looked thoughtful. 

With a smile Joyce said, “Reading science fiction again, I see.”  Her comment caused everyone to chuckle. 

“It does sound like that doesn't it.” 

Sally said, “Sarah, if you have the dream tonight see if you can focus on details.  If it occurs we could discuss it over breakfast.  In any case, write it down and leave it in an envelope, with a note on it saying, ‘If you've found this then open it.’” 

“Okay.” 

Joyce said, “I plan to be in the office tomorrow.” 

Sarah said, “I am surprised Alice is letting Judy come tomorrow with Jill and Janet.  It will be very good to see them again.” 

“Well from what I understand,” said Joyce, “they now have several trained staff members to help with the clinic side of the club.” 

“That's right.  Now I remember Judy talking about that.  When I was there, I remember her being quite frazzled at times especially when Jill and Janet were out of action.  Jill and Janet seemed to be more relaxed the last times we were there.” 

“Why don't we start earlier tomorrow?” asked Rusty. 

“Suits me,” said Terry.  “Doing that should have us back before lunch time.” 

“In that case, we need to get some sleep,” said Sarah.  “It will be nice to have Jill, Janet and Judy around for the rest of the week.  I'm pretty sure we won't get much rest after they arrive.” 

“Sure, we will,” replied Sally. 

“Just how are you defining rest?” 

“Cuddling.  Hugging.  Those are relaxing.” 

“So that is all you're going to do.” 

“I didn't say that, but you can if you want.  Between bouts of relaxing, I intend to get my ashes hauled several times.” 

“Are you saying the physical side of our relationship isn't enough?” 

“Absolutely not.  I just like the shared feelings that come from physically sharing our appreciation of our very close friends.” 

“I agree with you,” responded Sarah as she pulled Sally into a hug and giving her a kiss. 

Joyce smiled as she watched Sarah and Sally share their affection.  When the kissing paused, she said, “Now that you guys are back with us, I just remembered a couple of other items.  Mom called to see how we were doing.  Although I think you know this but Zoe checked in.  She indicated that the tour is going smoother than the last one as the performers are more normal.  Shirley called with their flight information confirming that they would return on Sunday.  I called Al and gave him the flight details.” 

“I wonder why I didn't hear those calls.” 

“They were on the house phone as it was after hours. 

“Do you think they are anxious to be back?” 

“Oh. Yes.  Definitely,” said Joyce.  “When I talked to Mom, I could hear the yearning in the tone of her voice.” 

“Well it will be good to have them back home,” said Sarah. 

---

It was a little before 6 AM when Sarah, Sally, Terry, Joyce and Rusty sat down to breakfast. 

“It sure is quiet around here with just us,” said Joyce. 

“Are you surprised?” inquired Sally.  “Cause its just like yesterday.” 

“Well it just seems too quiet.  I'll be glad when everyone returns.” 

“So what have you decided about college?” asked Sarah shifting the conversation. 

“Well I registered yesterday as a part-time student.  I tested out of half the freshman year classes.  Once I had the results I signed up for three classes.  So I only need to be on campus two days a week.” 

“Where are you going to live?” 

“Here, for the most part.” 

“It is quite a drive.” 

“Yes, it is.  It does have other benefits.  One I get to live with you all.  So I have a good living environment with built in tutors.  Mairia's group assured me that I could crash there when I was too tired to make the drive.” 

“So do you have a goal in mind?” 

“I definitely want to get a science degree.  My difficulty is which area.  I like working with computers but was thinking more in the direction of physics or astronomy.  Actually I like the idea of celestial navigation as it is intriguing.  As you know I've been toying with the idea of enlisting but not with nearly the drive that Adam had.  That consideration is pretty much past.  In any case, don't mention that I was considering it to Mom or Dad.  Meantime, I want to work here and learn from all of you while I take the basics courses needed for a degree.  I think the combination will help me decide where to focus.” 

“That works for a lot of people, presuming they keep their eye on their goal,” said Rusty. 

“Yes.  It is sort of what Adam is doing by enlisting but I am getting basic course work completed while sorting out my goals.  Besides I want to give our relationship more time to grow.” 

“We will support you in whatever you decide to do,” said Sally with everyone nodding. 

“Oh, I know that.  Basically I want to see if our relationship continues to grow, as I think it is now at a critical juncture.  I think it will but want to make sure it has a chance before other distractions come into my life.  Ugh, I am not sure I am making much sense.” 

“You are,” replied Sarah, “although I am probably picking up some of your emotional signals.” 

“Joyce,” said Sally, “where does Andrew fit in your future?” 

“We've decided to be good friends because we really enjoy being together.  However I don't feel drawn to him like I do to the four of you.  He feels a similar way toward me or at least that is what I sense.  He has kind of said as much.” 

“We need to be going soon,” said Sally. 

Joyce said, “Don't forget Judy, Jill and Janet will be here later today.” 

“Don't worry we won't take any longer than necessary.  They are going back Sunday right.” 

“Yes that was the last I heard.” 

When they began picking up the breakfast dishes Sarah quietly said, “Before you go, I had the dream again.  I didn't notice anything new or different.  So after you all leave, I will write a note describing what I remember.  As many times as I've had this dream it shouldn’t take very long.  I'll leave it lying out in two places in our suite and also send it to each of us in an email.  Perhaps I should have done that before now.” 

“When we get back, I would like to read it,” said Sally. 

“Me too,” added Terry with Joyce nodding.  “I suspect Rusty has already looked at it.” 

“I have but not closely.  Perhaps we should discuss it.  Right now we need to be leaving.” 

“Oh, you are right,” responded Sally as they again began to clean up the breakfast dishes.  “The cooks will be in later than usual as they had some kind of errand to do this morning.” 

It was a little after 11 when Sarah heard the chime for the delivery door.  Checking the camera she saw a driver standing by the door with a clip board.  A refrigerated trailer was parked at a truck door.  After shifting the view to see the driver, she recognized him.  She let Joyce know the situation then released the door lock.  By the time the driver reached her desk, she again verified that they weren't expecting any shipments and nothing going out. 

“Good morning, Jack,” said Sarah to the driver. 

“Good morning, Sarah,” he replied with a smile. 

“This is a surprise.  What do you have as we weren't expecting any deliveries?” 

“I'm not sure what to make of the description except it is not hazardous.  According to my paper work, I am to just drop the trailer here.  I haven't dropped a trailer here before so I wasn't sure which door to leave it.  Currently, it is at the door you all usually have me use.  Will that be okay?” 

“The door you parked at is fine.  Can you hang around for a few minutes while I call the shipper to see what this is about?” 

“Sure.  This is my last task for today as I'm scheduled out at 4 AM tomorrow on a 4 day run.” 

Sarah dialed the shipper's number while she considered other ways to check the validity of the delivery.  There had been unannounced deliveries in the past and she wasn't aware of any that arrived due to having the wrong address.  She couldn't remember there ever being a trailer just dropped off for later pickup.  Both Bob and Nancy were unreachable so that was out.  Sarah frowned when the phone was answered by a recording saying the shipper was closed for an extended lunch.  They would not reopen until 4 PM their time.  She tried another office for the shipper with the same result but had to go through a call center before ending up with the same message. 

While on the phone, Joyce entered the office.  After talking to the driver, she looked through the list of scheduled arrivals again and couldn't find any reference to it. 

When Sarah hung up the phone she said, “They are closed for an extended lunch and won't open until 4 PM our time.” 

“I can't hang around that long.” 

“We know.  I guess we can go open the door and see what is inside.” 

“It's sealed.  The bill of lading says key is coming separately via FEDEX.” 

“Strange.  Does it have a vent port?” 

“Yes, several.  Why?” 

“We'll take air samples and analyze them.” 

A short time later Sarah said, “Well the samples show nothing but air, so I guess, we can sign for the trailer.” 

“That will work.  Sorry I can't wait.  Thanks.” 

After Jack left Sarah said, “That was certainly a strange delivery.” 

“Yes.  Mom, Dad and Sally have talked about some others but I think this tops them.” 

Fifteen minutes later the gate chime sounded.  Both Joyce and Sarah glanced at the monitor and saw their truck returning.  The security system noted Sally, Terry and Rusty as the only people in the truck. 

“I wonder if they completed their project,” said Joyce. 

“They have completed the project.  I talked to Rusty just as they finished up.” 

“Good, then we can spend the afternoon visiting here in the office as there is nothing else scheduled.” 

“Are you trying to stir up an event?” 

“Dad has commented that unexpected free time arrives shortly after a crisis so you never see it.” 

“That's cynical.” 

“He claims if you don't notice until it arrives then a crisis may not arise to make it disappear.” 

“Good afternoon,” said Sally, Terry and Rusty as they came in the door. 

“Good afternoon,” replied both. 

“Did today go like you expected?” asked Joyce. 

“Pretty much.  There were a couple of times when it almost didn't,” said Rusty. 

“What's with the trailer backed up to the receiving door?” asked Sally. 

Sarah described what had taken place.  “I didn't see any reason to refuse it but would have, if it had been an unknown driver or freight company.” 

“Reasonable decision,” said Sally.  “It is outside our security perimeter.” 

Placing an arm around Sally and Terry, a smiling Rusty said, “The job was great especially since I got to work closely with tall extremely good looking women.” 

Sally drew back at the comment, and responded, “And just what kind of jobs do you not like working on, with tall, extremely good looking, women?” 

Laughing Rusty replied, “Haven't found one yet.  Hope I never do.” 

“Right answer!” she said, as she and Terry hugged him. 

The chime rang, indicating their lunch was ready.  Rusty, Sally and Terry went to clean up in the office locker room, while Sarah and Joyce set the systems to automatic, so they could close the office while they were away. 

They just sat down to eat when the rear gate chime sounded.  Looking at the monitor they saw Judy, Jill and Janet arriving.  By the time Jill, Judy and Janet reached the house, they were outside to greet them.  After exchanging hugs and kisses Sally said, “Lunch is on the table.  Let's eat.” 

“Good,” replied Jill.  “We left a little later than expected so we didn't stop to eat.” 

“You made good time,” responded Sally. 

“We should have, considering how fast someone was driving.  I'm surprised we didn't get stopped.” 

“How long are you going to be able to stay?” asked Sarah. 

“We need to go back on Sunday,” replied Jill.  “Is that alright?” 

“Of course,” responded Joyce, Sarah, Sally, Terry and Rusty in harmony. 

“You guys have got that sync thing down pat,” laughed Judy. 

“Well we are glad to have all of you here.  Judy, how did you manage to get away?” 

“My patient load is very light at the moment.  Plus, we've added a Physician’s Assistant which makes things easier.  She is very good.  Also, we now have more nurses available during the week, which helps a lot.” 

“I'll bet finding someone to do what you do is difficult,” said Joyce. 

“It is.  Mostly because of the combination of specialties in which you need extensive knowledge and preferably experience.  Fortunately, I came in on the ground floor so learning the combination of multiple specialties just sort of happened.” 

“So what do we want to do for the next four days?” asked Jill. 

“Well the only complication we have is keeping the office staffed.  We need two people in there for the next two days.  Zoe's group could help out but they are out with a tour.” 

“Darn I was hoping to see them,” said Janet. 

“Me, too,” added Judy.  “They are good people.” 

“Saturday, we expect Mairia's group to show up,” said Joyce.  “Well actually, it will likely be Friday night.” 

“We've found several places where we can go dancing,” said Sally.  “We've done that a few times.” 

“What kind of places?” asked Janet warily. 

“They are dance clubs where people go to dance and have fun rather than troll.  We could probably find one to attend each evening.” 

“Weather is supposed to be nice, so there is swimming and other stuff we can do around here,” added Terry. 

“I would like to make a trip to the mall while we are here,” said Jill. 

“What do you need?” said Sarah. 

“Primarily shoes.  But I would like to make a pass through Victoria's Secret.” 

“Well if you really want good shoes we should take you to see a friend of ours.  He has made all of ours and they are extremely comfortable.” 

“That sounds awfully expensive.” 

“I don't know how he does it but they are only about the price you would pay at a high end shoe store.” 

Together they sketched out plans for the next several days. 

All conversation halted abruptly when two women walked into the kitchen, startling everyone. 

“Sylvia, what are you doing here?” demanded Sarah.  “How did you get in here?” 

Ignoring Sarah's questions, she replied with a commanding voice, “Take off your clothes and fold them before laying them on the table.” 

Sylvia smiled as she watched the group hesitate then begin following her command.  “Good,” she thought, “the drug worked so we won't need to use the stunners and give them shots.  This is much easier and cleaner.” 

Sarah didn't want to do it and kept telling herself to stop.  While completing the request, Sarah looked around to see frustrated looks on her friends' faces as they complied with the command.  Peaking at their thoughts, see could see the same turmoil in their emotions that she felt.  Turing her focus to Sylvia, she could only see that she was pleased with her success so far and what she planned to do next. 

“Rusty, can you hear me.” 

He looked at her, nodded, then said, “Yes.” 

“I think this is going to lead to what I saw in the dream.  It is a good thing I described it in a note this morning.” 

“Yes.”  Sarah noticed his response was subdued.  Looking closer she saw he felt the same way she did about not being able to resist. 

“We will survive!” she projected to her friends causing them all to look at her for a moment. 

The woman with Sylvia placed their clothes in a box, then handed each of them a pair of high heel shoes. 

Sylvia said, “Put those shoes on then close the fasteners on the straps.” 

Sarah was surprised at how well the shoes fit and that they were comfortable when she put her feet on the floor.  Seeing Rusty fumbling with the straps, she reached over to help him, as she said,  “Here let me help you.  These are hard to walk in if you don't put your toes down first.  Your balance will feel strange but the wide heel will help.  Yours is wider than ours.” 

“I see that.  They definitely feel weird.” 

Once everyone had their shoes on, Sylvia's assistant made sure the ankle straps were latched then nodded to Sylvia.  The assistant then placed a bottle on the table in front of each of them. 

“Now take a bottle and drink all of it.” 

Without any hesitation, they each followed Sylvia's command.  When they returned the bottles to the table, the assistant placed them in a box.  The box was then placed inside the one containing their clothes. 

“Okay, standup.” 

Sarah and Sally helped Rusty stand, as he was quite shaky standing. 

Once everyone was standing, Sylvia said, “Follow me.  Don't even think of trying to get away.  My assistant is anxious to use her stun gun.  If you fall, or are stunned, your friends will have to carry you.  If they can't, they will drag you.  It is just a short walk to your transportation.” 

As Sylvia started out the door, they lined up behind her and followed.  Sarah could sense the frustration that her friends felt as it was similar to hers. 

Sylvia led them through the office and into the receiving area.  The overhead door behind the trailer was now open.  The trailer's roll up door was also up revealing a wall which included a man-door to one side. 

Seeing the overhead door was raised, Sarah wondered how they managed that and why wasn’t there an alarm. 

“Okay,” said Sylvia, “as your name is called, you will go through that door into the trailer.  Inside, go to the bench with your name on it then sit on the seat.  The staff in there will help you.  No talking.  As long as you cooperate, you have nothing to fear.  No pain.  No abuse.  Understand!” 

They all nodded yes. 

At Sylvia's direction, each one entered the trailer.  Rusty was next to last followed by Sarah.  When Sarah entered the trailer, she saw all of her friends sitting on a seat, leaning forward with their head resting on a pad.  It was built much like their exercise bench, but their upper body was more vertical.  She saw one with her name on it.  She slowly walked over to it then straddled the seat to sit down.  When she placed her feet onto the foot pads and pushed down to move them to a more comfortable position, she felt her shoes latch to the pads, locking them in place.  Once seated, she felt a hand on her back push her shoulders forward.  This pushed her breasts into the cups on the vertical support.  Then her head was gently pushed against a restraint then secured. 

A familiar voice said, “Open your mouth.”  As she did, a soft tube slid into her mouth.  Looking up she saw Dorothy, or at least someone who looked like Dorothy.  Both women were naked except for high heels and a wide belt with pockets.  Sarah looked closer and decided if it was Dorothy she had changed.  Sarah felt a tube push into her ass and then swell, locking it in place. 

Sarah watched, as the woman she thought of as Dorothy and another woman place headphones on everyone.  When Dorothy put the headphones on her, she heard music. 

A soft voice came over the headphones and a voice said, “You will be given a sedative so you will sleep during the trip to your new home.  The two women you see will ride with you to your destination.  They will assist you with eating and relieving yourself.  The tube in your mouth will supply your food and water.  Each seat is equipped with a suitable dildo, that will keep your lust under control.  Rusty needn't worry, as his seat is equipped with an artificial pussy.  All of his spend and your cum will be added to your food along with Sarah's and Terry's milk.  Sleep well and enjoy your trip.” 

Sarah watched as the two women began at the front giving them shots.  She could see each one slump, as they were apparently being given a sedative.  Just after she felt the needle, she felt some movement as though the trailer was moving. 

Once Sarah and her friends were secured and were being given their shots, Sylvia closed up the trailer.  She closed the warehouse door and secured it before exiting with her assistant.  She climbed into the truck cab which was now attached to the trailer and said, “Let's roll.” 

“What about your assistant?” asked the man. 

“She is driving our Suburban out of the gate now.  She knows what to do. 

“More than you do,” thought Sylvia.  “Thankfully, circumstances provided all the people I need to fill the contract so that problem is solved.  Those two sluts have started the merchandise’s treatments.  It would have been nice to place some of them at my farm but this is better.”  Sylvia leaned back and relaxed now that the truck was on the highway.

While Sarah and her friends traveled toward their destination, it was quiet at the estate.  Hardly a day had past before their absence began to be noticed by their friends.  First Bob, Nancy, Stan and Julia were surprised that they could not reach them Wednesday evening.  They tried again on Thursday morning and were still unable to reach them or the house staff.  After trying several times on Thursday with out success, they decided to return as soon as arrangements could be made.  They managed to get reservations on the first flight out Friday morning then called Al with their arrival time. 

After retrieving their bags, they let Al know they were on their way to arrival's curb.  When they saw Al, their worry grew, just based on his expression. 

Nancy inquired, “I gather you went by the estate.” 

“Yes.  After you called, one of my trips took me near your place.  Once I dropped off my customer, I stopped by.  You were already in the air so I didn't call.  Access was fine.  Everything looked pretty normal for when someone is there.  The office was open, the lights were on.  I only looked in the door and didn't change or touch anything.  The cooks are worried.  They told me that they were given Wednesday and Thursday off.  When they arrived today no one was there and all the lights were on.  They will have lunch ready when we get there.  Also Mairia's group is expected late this evening.  We are scheduled to pick up Shirley and the children later today.” 

“I thought, they weren't returning until Monday.” 

“That was the message Joyce gave us Tuesday evening.  Shirley called us because she couldn't reach anyone at the house to tell them of the change.  Fred's return was moved up so they decided to come back early.” 

It was very quiet in the limo on the drive to the estate.  Nancy and Julia had cried for a short time.  Stan and Bob just stared out the window with a glassy eyed looks.  When they were near the turnoff, Bob said, “Al, let's go in the back way.” 

“Okay.” 

Bob got his laptop out and turned it on causing Stan to give him a puzzled look.  Seeing his expression he said, “Once we are inside the back gate, I can connect and get a look before we arrive and disturb anything.” 

“We should call Lt. Flanigan and Lt. Rose,” said Nancy. 

“Yes.  First, let's see how things are first then review the surveillance video.  From my perspective, their objective was achieved.” 

“So you think they were abducted?” 

“Yes.  It's the only thing that makes sense.  Now we need to determine, who, why and what can we do to rescue them.  We need to think about who we share this with very carefully.” 

“Why?” asked Julia. 

“We could have the same issue here that Zoe's group faced in New York with tainted officials.  Besides, our surveillance system will provide us a lot of details on what occurred.  It probably isn't wise to let too much of that information out.” 

“Okay.” 

“Rusty's friend, Mark Edwards, is another one to consider talking to,” responded Nancy. 

“Agree.  Let's see what we have, then decide what we share.  Just like you I want to know what happened to my daughter and our friends.  My instinct says we need to be careful, very careful with how we proceed.” 

“If I can jump into this,” said Al, “he makes good sense.  From what I know of Flanigan, Rose and Edwards, they are good to have on your side.” 

“Al, we are always open to your suggestions or comments,” responded Nancy. 

On entering the estate Bob had Al stop on the drive just past the curve, so they were out of sight from both the houses and the back entrance.  After about fifteen minutes, Bob said, “Let's go.  Everything looks normal.  The only traffic in or out was our van and the cooks on Wednesday then Al and the cooks today.  There was movement in the house, office and dock area on Wednesday ending early afternoon.  The only oddity was the presence of a trailer at the dock Wednesday from late morning till early afternoon.  After that there was no activity anywhere until the cooks arrived this morning.” 

“Strange.  Wait you said the cooks were in on Wednesday.” 

“Yes.” 

“Maybe I miss understood,” said Al, “but I understood them to say they were given Wednesday and Thursday off.” 

They had only been in the house a few minutes when the phone rang.  Nancy picked it up almost immediately and said, “Hello.” 

“Thank, God,” exclaimed Melody. 

“What's wrong?” replied Nancy. 

“Nothing.  We were worried about you all.  No one was answering the phone or our messages.  So...” 

“Where are you?” 

“Resting before tonight's show.  Why?  By the way, I didn't think you were supposed to be home yet.” 

“We moved it up as we had the same problem you've apparently had.  Sarah's group has disappeared along with Joyce and three other friends.” 

“You're shit-in' me.  Oops, sorry.” 

“Sorry but it's true.  We just got in and are trying to figure out what happened.” 

“Our prayers are with you.  Call us when you know anything.” 

“We will.  Bob wants to talk to you.” 

“Hello, Melody.” 

“Hi Bob, what can we do for you?  We'll do anything, just let us know.” 

“Be safe.  Keep your eyes open and work in pairs.  You know the drill.  If you need more help let me know and don't let this be a distraction.” 

“Yes.  Boss,” replied Melody with a giggle.  “We'll call three or four times a day.  As I told Nancy, our prayers are with you.” 

“Thank you.  We'll keep you posted.  Have a good quiet evening.” 

“Thanks.” 

As Bob and Nancy would learn later, Melody barely turned the phone off before she started bawling.  It was only Zoe threatening to call Bob and chew him out that slowed Melody's tears.  On hearing the news they all cried.  It was Belinda who reminded them to get their game faces on in time to go to the stadium with the performers. 

At the estate, they decided to eat dinner while they talked to the cooks.  All the cooks knew was a woman called them, who sounded like Joyce, and gave them the time off.  They didn't think too much about it, as they weren't coming in till lunch on Wednesday due to an appointment.  When they arrived this morning, they were surprised to find the house open and lights on.  Even more so when they discovered no one was in the house or answering the office phone.  They were on the verge of calling them when Al arrived. 

The next several hours were a mess.  They had hardly finished dinner when Shirley, Janice and Thomas arrived.  Explanations were barely finished when Mairia's group entered the house.  Mairia was barely through the door when she said, “Where's Sarah?” 

When Nancy said, “We don't know.” 

Crying Mairia asked, “When?” 

“Wednesday we think.” 

“Oh my God,” then was nearly inconsolable along with the rest of her group. 

It was nearly half an hour before everyone was somewhat calm and Bob asked, “Mairia, was there a meaning behind your comment?” 

“Wednesday afternoon I was walking with Kathleen and Ron after class and out of the blue I thought I heard Sarah say something like, “I described the dream in a note.”  There was a bit more but I was so shocked I am not sure I can remember it.  I mean she wasn't anywhere near me.” 

“Just that?” 

“No, I felt some foreboding along with the comment.  Is there a note?” 

“Don't know,” replied Nancy.  “It has been a mess around here since we got back.” 

“What can we do?” 

“Not sure at this point.” 

“Have you checked their suite?” 

“No,” said Nancy.  “We haven't gotten to the point of deciding what to do next.” 

“Can I go look?” 

“Sure but don't disturb anything.” 

“Okay.  I'll just look around.” 

A few moments later Mairia walked back in the kitchen holding two envelopes.  “These were lying out like they were left there on purpose.” 

After looking at the envelope with the hair on his neck twitching Bob carefully removed the document from the envelope.  Bob read through it silently.  As he did, tears filled his eyes.  “This will take some thought.” 

“What is it?” said Mairia.  “Are they okay?” 

“Sarah has had repetitive dreams and this is her description of them.  If this is true, then they are okay, but...”  As he finished speaking Mairia pulled the letter from Bob's hands and held it so the rest of them could read it.  By the time they finished all of them were crying. 

“Mommy, why are you crying?” asked Janice. 

“Because we don't know where Sarah and her friends are or when we will see them again?” 

“Mom, they are okay,” replied Janice in a way only a child can.  “They love us.  We will see them again.” 

Then Thomas chimed in with, “Janice is right,” as Shirley enveloped them in hugs. 

“We hope so,” said Mairia with her eyes filled with tears.  “We have to believe.” 

“Okay,” said Bob, “It is late and we are all emotionally upset.  I would like all of you to get a good night's rest, preferably here on the estate.  Then in the morning, we will decide how to face this together.”  Looking at the cooks he added, “Can someone take care of your children tonight?” 

“I think so,” replied a cook.  “Can I call?” 

“Yes.  If you need a reason try to make it as vague as possible.” 

A few minutes later the cooks came back into the room.  One said, “We are all set until tomorrow evening.” 

“Thank you,” replied Bob.  “Since we know the approximate time they left the site, we should know by tomorrow morning what happened and how they did it.  I am willing to share that with all of you, however it mustn't go beyond those in this room plus Zoe's group.  We will likely let the detectives and Mark know of their disappearance as well. 

“We will want a story we can share with outsiders.  My inclination at the moment is to say they went on a vacation to a tropical resort.  It fits with the description in the letter.  So with that in mind, sleep well.”  There were quite a few chuckles. 

“We know it will be hard,” added Nancy, “but we should remember the good times while we wait to see them again.” 

“Yes!” exclaimed Thomas. 

---

It was several days after the abduction of Sarah and her friends when a small group on a space ship in the Mars - Sun L5 Lagrange position gathered around a table.  “What is their status and your recommendation?”  enquired Amy. 

“They are stable and the changes that woman initiated are progressing,” replied Connie.  “However, the projected result will be a horrible disaster unless we act now.”  She then described what they had learned from questioning the two attendants and the eight people who had arrived with them. 

“How did you question our guests?” asked Jim.  “I thought they were sedated.” 

“We woke them enough so that we could probe them telepathically.  If they remember the experience it will seem like a dream.” 

“So the two attendants were acquainted with several of the people prior to them starting their trip here.” 

“Yes.  Remember our questions primarily focused on health issues.  All eight are saying they were drugged then walked into the trailer when told to do so.  They referred to it as being abducted.  The two attendants, confirm that the group walked into the trailer.  They also claim to have been abducted several years earlier.  They were taken to Sylvia's farm where they’ve been since their abduction.  According to them, they are EMTs and assist the doctor in caring for the other women at her farm.” 

“Do you believe any of it?” 

“All of them believe what they are telling me.  Regardless we need to deal with the health issues.” 

“We agree,” responded Jim. 

Amy looked at Erica and said, “If this is true, how did we miss this?  Where is this Sylvia now?” 

“We don’t know.  There was no indication in the information we have on her to suggest she was involved in human trafficking.  Our monitoring of Dorothy during the questioning tell us that she is being truthful.  She doesn't know where Sylvia's farm is located.  We haven't been able to locate her.” 

“Didn't our eight guests sign the contracts and health forms?” 

“Yes.  To be sure, we are checking the paper for their prints and DNA.  Once we find a valid signature of theirs, we will do a comparison.  Even if we have positive results, it will not be proof of their agreement but only indicate a probability.” 

“This species seems to spend more time subjugating or killing others than advancing their knowledge.” 

“We have another issue, that we will need to address in a few days.  Based on the information from Sarah, she had dreams of something occurring.  At her friends prompting she left a note for the friends they lived with describing her dream.  From her description, you would think she had been to the island.  Her descriptions of it are very good.  So, I've sent drones to monitor the place where they lived.  The location is exceptionally well covered with intrusion and video monitoring devices.  However, they are not capable of detecting us unless we want them to.  Putting their relationships into context:  Sarah, Rusty, Sally, Terry work for N&R Security which is based at an estate owned by Nancy and Bob.  Joyce is the owner's daughter.  Judy, Jill and Janet are friends who came to visit for the weekend.” 

“That raises an interesting question,” said Amy.  “How did Sylvia manage to abduct them?” 

Erica smiled, “Careful planning, research and some how knowing the victims plans.” 

“What has their friends been doing in response to their disappearance?” 

“They are maintaining a low profile so I suspect they found her note and are waiting.  They've only told three of their friends outside their immediate circle.  Their immediate circle is fairly large.” 

“What a cockup!” exclaimed Amy.  “First, we need to resolve how we address the medical issues.” 

“Our systems tell us there is only one way to successfully do that,” said Betsy.  “A key sticking point is not having their permission to proceed.  Waking them, then getting them to understand the situation, would as we understand it put us too far into the changes to safely alter them.” 

Connie said, “We've discussed this among the medical staff.  We feel the only way out of this paradox is to bring them here immediately so we can use the incubators.  This is based on what we think we would want if we were in their position.  The autodoc projects greater than 99% probability of success.  All other treatments protocols we have access to are less than half that.” 

“I agree with that logic,” said Erica. 

“Do we need to have a formal meeting of everyone?” asked Jim. 

“We should,” replied Connie.  “While that is taking place, I want them brought here.” 

“Okay.  Do it.” 

Amy then asked all the crew to join them in reviewing the situation with their new group of potential surrogate mothers.  The shuttle carrying them was just lifting from Earth when the crew were told of the situation and possible resolutions.  They also agreed that using the incubators was the wisest choice. 

Once the decision was made, Connie, went to initiate the treatments. 

“Is everyone agreeable with me sending their family a note?” asked Erin. 

“To say what?” asked Amy sharply. 

“Simply that their friends arrived safely.  It will be awhile before they can contact you as they had a poor response to a treatment they received on their way here.  They are currently in an advanced medical facility to fully resolve the complications.  A full recovery will take at least six months.” 

“I am not sure about the wording you propose but agree with the idea.  Simplest is best.” 

“I'll help you with the wording,” said Betsy. 

“Thanks.  We should try to send it as soon as possible.” 

“I'll leave it in your hands,” said Amy. 

“Are we done here?” asked Connie. 

“Yes,” replied Jim.  “I think so.” 

“How long before we know?” asked Amy. 

“Incubators for at least two months once the treatment is initiated then sedated for about four months until the changes are complete.  Once they are out of the incubators, we should have a pretty good idea whether we were successful.  Although we won't fully know until they are awake and mobile.” 

“Sarah and Rusty are active telepaths.  Sally, Terry and Joyce are very close.  I didn't check the other three.” 

“Interesting,” responded Amy.  “So should we look for other candidates to be surrogate mothers?” 

“I am agreeable to looking,” replied Jim.  “But not with initiating contact until this group is up an about.  While the likely hood is small, we strongly suspect they didn’t know about or agree to fill our need.  We need to give them the opportunity to make that decision.” 

After a moment Amy replied, “Okay.  Although, considering how they were brought here, the probability of them filling our need doesn’t seem very probable.” 

“Considering the difficulty we’ve had, we should rethink how we look for candidates.  Perhaps the two women who arrived with them can assist us.” 

“Good idea.  I wonder what other surprises are in store for us.” 

---

It was a little over six months after the abduction when Sarah slowly opened her eyes thinking of how rested she felt.  The empty bed caused her to wonder where her friends were.  Looking around, she realized this wasn't their room.  “Where am I?”  Then she remembered having lunch with her friends and enjoying the added presence of Jill, Janet and Judy.  She shivered as she remembered the rest of the events and her inability to react.  She vaguely remembered feeling the trailer move before darkness overtook her. 

Sarah forced her thoughts back to the present and said softly, “So, where am I?  Where are my friends?” 

Assessing her surroundings, she saw that she was lying on a big bed in a rather large room.  One wall was covered by a mirror.  The reflected image was that of a very lovely woman laying on her side.  The woman had long flowing red hair and a lovely figure.  The woman was definitely not petite or small.  “Oh my, that's me,” she gasped.  The view in the mirror pleased her.  She moved to rest her head on her hand as she studied the view.  As she examined the image, she thought she noticed some differences in her appearance.  Her skin color appeared to be a light golden brown like someone of Spanish or Italian descent.  Her analysis of the image in the mirror halted when she realized her bladder was full and so were her breasts.  When she moved to sit up, the lighting in the room increased from the soft twilight like glow.  She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and without a thought slipped on the shoes laying nearby. 

She took only a few steps before she began to think about her actions.  “How did I know where the bathroom was?  Or where to go?” 

She soon stepped into the next room then walked straight to one of the stools.  Sitting down on the stool, she reached behind her to lift something, as she did, she felt a part of her body move near the top of her ass cheeks.  “That's strange,” she thought.  “Why did I do that?”  Her movement felt normal but she couldn't remember doing it before, besides she couldn't see what it was.  Relieving her bladder was much more important at the moment. 

Releasing the pressure on her bladder was satisfying.  The loss of that urgent need was quickly replaced by the slight ache in her breasts.  After wiping herself then washing her hands, she again followed her instincts and went toward the door.  On entering the room, she saw several benches.  The benches were similar to those in the trailer and similar to the one at home.  Walking over to one, she straddled the seat and sat down.  “Ah,” she thought, “it has my name on it.  Adjusted for me as well.”  She leaned forward, letting her breasts slip into the cups.  As soon as her nipples reached the bottom chamber, the tugging on them began initiating the release of her milk. 

As her milk began to flow her labia began to swell and moisten as they always did when her nipples were being sucked.  She placed her hands on the grips then squeezed.  She gasped as she felt a dildo slide slowly between her labia and into her sheath.  As it slid in, her extended labia minora released more of her cream easing its passage.  Tightening her grip caused the dildo to swell.  When her head touched the headrest, a small penis shaped tube pressed against her lips.  As if it was part of a routine, she opened her mouth letting the tube slide between her lips.  Once in place, she closed her mouth around the tube and began to suck.  Her mouth filled with a mixture of warm milk and a granular substance along with the taste of cum.  She swallowed until the flow diminished then changed to water. 

Pushing the handles forward caused the dildo to lengthen its thrusts.  The steady rhythm of the dildo and the sucking on her nipples increased her arousal.  She was soon on her way to an orgasm as she dreamed of the times she spent with Rusty and her three friends.  Her orgasm came in several small steps, reaching a grand finale which was triggered by the dildo to release hot cream.  As she recovered from her orgasm, the sucking sensation on her nipples slowly subsided. 

She lay there and rested for a bit.  She was amazed at what she had just done.  It seemed to her that she took care of her needs without even thinking about what she was doing.  She wasn't upset as she found the after effects quite refreshing and satisfying. 

With the urgent needs of her body satisfied, she again wondered where she was and what had happened to her friends.  She sensed they were okay but yearned to see and be with them again. 

Releasing her grip on the handles caused the dildo shrink then slide out of her.  With her sheath no longer plugged, her cream began to flow.  She was puzzled when she didn't feel it running down her leg or puddling under her ass on the seat.  Easing back from the bench she looked down between her breasts to see her cream dripping into a small circular trough surrounding the dildo. 

Feeling thirsty, she looked around and saw a small water cooler.  “Great,” she said then walked over to the it.  While she drank several glasses of water, she looked around the room then the adjoining bathroom.  The only thing unusual in the bathroom was the toilets did not have a back.  There was a bidet sitting near the toilet. 

Then remembering moving something on her ass when she sat on the stool earlier.  She felt behind her and nearly dropped the glass of water when she placed her fingers on her backbone at the top of her ass. 

“What?” she screeched as she felt around feeling a lot of soft hair.  Continuing to explore, she felt fairly long hair on her back but seemed to just be along her backbone.  She could tell that it continued ran down between her ass cheeks.  Feeling around she between her ass cheeks, she discovered a hairy protuberance between her ass cheeks beginning where her tail bone should be. 

She thought, “It can't be.”  After quickly finishing the glass of water, she walked back to the bedroom.  Stopping in front of the mirror she turned at an angle, so she could see her back.  She gasped, “Well I guess seeing is believing.  I really do have a mane and a tail.”  She could see that her tail lay partially in the trough between her ass cheeks, apparently an extension of her tail bone.  It was covered with dark red hair which matched the hair on her head.  A narrow row of dark red hair along her backbone from from her neck and down her tail. 

She bent over to look between her legs to examine her tail.  She could feel a bone in it and saw that it reached down several inches below her crotch.  Sliding her fingers through the hair on the tail bone, she realized that it felt just like the hair on her head.  The hair on her tail was about the same length as that on her back bone, and the tail hair reached nearly to her knees.  She found touching it and stroking it arousing.  The small amount of caressing caused her nipples to stiffen as her labia moistened then started to swell as they distended. 

Standing back up, she looked at her profile in the mirror again and tried to see as much of her back as she could.  When she pulled her long hair to lie over her shoulder, the ribbon of fine hair along her backbone was clearly visible.  Seeing it confirmed what she had earlier felt.  The hair on her back, appeared to be about the length of her finger.  “Well it looks like I now have a mane.  I guess that is what you would call it.” 

Turning back to face the mirror, she looked more closely at her image.  Her features seemed different but she couldn't quite place the changes.  She felt different but her height seemed to be the same, then again she had no way to judge.  Looking again at her face, she tried to figure out what was different.  Finally she decided that if her features had changed at all, they weren't very different.  Based on her reflection, her breasts didn't seem to be as large as she remembered.  Her shoulders and chest appeared to be broader and definitely more muscular.  Her arms and legs showed more muscle tone than she remembered.  Flexing her legs, arms and shoulders, she could barely see the muscle groups ripple.  Her hips seemed a bit fuller, but she always worried about that.  Running her fingers through her dark red hair, it felt both thicker and silkier. 

She gasped as she looked down at her feet.  They really looked different.  The body of her foot seemed longer and she was now essentially standing on her toes.  She liked wearing heels but these were different.  “That’s it,” she thought.  “They feel more comfortable.”  Looking more closely, she noticed that there wasn't the sharp angle where her heel should be.  She pulled one foot up to examine it closer.  The most obvious change seemed to be that she no longer had what she knew as a heel and the ankle joint felt different.  Her foot was now like an extension of her leg without the sharp angle due to the heel.  Probing her foot and ankle with her fingers, it seemed that the biggest difference was what she remembered as her heel now seemed to be part of her ankle.  The width of her foot across her toes seemed to be wider, but it was hard to tell how much with no reference.  Slipping her shoe off, she could see hardened areas on her foot under the toe joints and toes.  As she examined the shoe, she noticed that the ankle portion seemed quite a bit longer and the angle of her foot seemed sharper or more vertical.  She slipped her shoe back on and put her foot down.  It was then she realized she had been standing on one leg with no balance issues at all.  “Wow,” she thought, “I could never do that before.  Now I have a much stronger sense of balance, and the reason I feel more comfortable is the changes in my feet.” 

She saw a note on the table and it read, “We suggest you take a shower.  After that come back here and we will try to answer any questions you have.  This facility is managed by a computer with a voice interface.  You can query it throughout the building as well as around and in nearby buildings.  The computer's voice will sound like a woman you used to work with before you went to work with Bob and Nancy.  When you are ready, just come back to the bedroom and say “Hello”.  It will try to answer any questions you have although some questions may require it to query the administrators before they can be answered.  Enjoy your shower.” 

Sarah let her instincts take her to the shower.  She was shocked by how big the bath and shower area was.  The room contained several wash basins along one wall with mirrors covering the whole wall behind them.  There were more stools like she used before and these were spaced along a low wall in the middle of the room.  There were also several bidets as well.  She then realized it was a part of the room she had been in before, and was surprised that she had overlooked seeing this part earlier. 

When she reached the shower, she changed her shoes before stepping into it.  Entering the shower room, she saw it was large enough for several people to comfortably share the shower.  As she stepped in the water began to spray from the shower heads.  Stepping into the spray, she wet her body and hair.  Once she was wet, she said, “Soap,” without thinking and the spray turned into a soapy solution.  She took the long handle brush from the wall and began to brush the soap through her hair even, the hair that now coursed down her back.  She found washing the tail hair a bit arousing.  Once her hair was thoroughly brushed she rubbed the soapy water over her body paying special attention to her nipples and labia.  The caresses to her nipples and labia felt good.  While she was washing she thought again of her friends and the fun they had in the shower.  She thought about continuing her caresses until she came but decided she wanted to hear more about this place and what has happened.  She said, “Rinse,” and the water cleared quickly rinsing the soap off of her and from her hair. 

As she left the shower, it shut off.  She dried off then brushed her hair before going back into the bedroom.  She was surprised at how easily her hair brushed out.  Tangles were one of the reasons she had never let hers grow much longer than shoulder length, even then she occasionally had tangles that could be a bear to remove.  As she brushed her hair, she cast her mind out in search of her friends, and quickly found them but wasn't able to link with them.  She did identify Rusty and even though she couldn't link with him she knew he was okay, as were the others. 

Entering her bedroom she chose to sit in the chair, as she sat she noticed that her tail tucked up between her ass cheeks.  It felt strange but it was not uncomfortable, just a new sensation.  On the table next to her was what appeared to be a floor plan. 

As she sat there she thought about her feelings and her experiences since waking up.  She felt very comfortable with where she was.  She sensed she would be seeing her friends very soon which added to her comfort.  She found the way she looked very pleasing.  She felt much more graceful and confident than she remembered feeling when she was at Alice and Nancy's.  At that time her large breasts had seemed to always give her the feeling of being out of balance, but now they didn't.  Oh, that's what was different my breasts are not as prominent.  Hmm...as she cupped them with her hands, they don't seem to be smaller either.  She sat quietly for a few moments as she absorbed her surroundings. 

“Hello.  Are you available for questions?” 

“Yes.” 

“You sound like a woman who I worked with at one time.  Her name was Dorothy.” 

“Very good.  When we did our interview with you, you indicated you had recognized her in the trailer when Sylvia had you and your friends prepared for shipment.” 

“What interview?” 

“After you arrived here our medical staff had a long interview with each of you.  Dorothy and Marie, whom you know, assisted our staff with the interviews.” 

“Who is “we”?  And, why don't I remember that?” 

“The “we” is this group's medical staff and me.  You may remember the interview at some point but you were partially sedated.  In fact all of you have been sedated for the last six months.” 

“Last six months!” 

“Yes.  It has taken that long for your body to recover to the point you can be up and around.  The changes taking place in your body are nearly complete.  Today the sedative was altered so you would wake up.  It has a residual effect of calming you while you become acquainted with your new surroundings.  This is a normal procedure for us when there is a long recovery.  It eases the patient's adaptation to the changes in their surroundings when recovering from an extensive medical treatment.  In your case, it is to help you adapt to your altered body.  This helps achieve a smooth adjustment even though each of you were aware of the proposed changes to your body beforehand.  The sedative will taper off within a day or two.” 

“Is everyone okay?  Where are the others?”  Sarah mind was reeling with the implications of the AI's comments regarding her and her friends. 

“Yes, everyone is fine.  The six months was to give your bodies time to complete the changes induced by a series of genetic treatments.  Based on what your caregivers told us, Sylvia had them give a series of injections to alter portions of you body.  These were not done correctly and did not have our approval.  If allowed to go unchecked, your health would have been severely impacted.  The only choice the Medical group that would give you full recovery was what we call the genetic treatment.  Your recovery has taken longer than normal due to the injections you received on your way here.  Based on the notes the Medical group has made in your records, you all will fully recover.  As you’ve noticed there are some changes in your appearance.  Due to your condition on arrival, the treatments are more extensive than were noted in your contract with us.  The more extensive treatment does not impact the role you all agreed to fill for us.” 

“Wait!  What FUCKING contract?  WHAT role?  Sylvia ABDUCTED us!  Besides that none of us agreed to any body altering treatments or signed any DAMN contract.  I'll strangle that woman at the first opportunity.” 

“According to the information given us...” 

“NO!!”  Interrupted Sarah.  “We were abducted!  There were no agreements!  We signed no contracts!”  She shouted.  Suddenly she realized what she was doing and realized it wouldn't help anything.  Tears of frustration filled her eyes.  After a few moments Sarah said, “Please excuse my outburst.  That was extremely rude of me.  Please accept my apologies.”  It was quiet for a few moments. “Please continue, I will try to mind my manners.” 

“All I have is the information provided to us when you arrived.  It indicates that all of you agreed to the changes to your bodies.  To fulfill your role with us, the proposed treatments were to increase your longevity and correct any genetic problems you may have had.  These were to be provided by us in exchange for participating in our project in addition to the financial compensation.  Due to your condition when you arrived, and to protect your long term health, we had to substantially augment those treatments in order to ensure your continued health.” 

“Please have someone check your information regarding us coming here, as it is WRONG.  Totally wrong.  Bluntly put.  We were abducted.  I will admit that I don't feel threatened or endangered but none the less we were abducted.”  Tears again formed in Sarah's eyes and leaked down her cheeks as the enormity of the situation registered.  “In spite of my outburst, you should know, that I am surprisingly comfortable with the changes I saw in my body.  Having had similar changes forced on me previously, I do realize that these will be difficult, if not impossible, to undo.  I am not sure if my friends will feel the same as I do.  If they look like me, then they are in for a hell of a shock.” 

“I believe your statement.  Did I understand that you have previously had body altering treatments.” 

“Yes.  They were done without my consent.” 

“I have sent all of your comments to the administrators.” 

“Thank you.  Have we really been here six months?” 

“Six months plus a week.” 

“You said we received a genetic treatment.  What did it do to us?” 

“As a part of our new arrival process, we gave each of you a very through medical exam.  It was the results of that exam that alerted the medical staff to your groups critical medical condition.  It was quickly realized that corrective action needed to be implemented quickly.  If it wasn't taken immediately then all of you would be in very poor health before many years had passed, besides shortening your lives.  Our analysis indicated that these problems or defects would be passed to your babies and complicate any pregnancy.  Our initial issue was that we couldn’t consult with you before initiating the treatments.  After much soul searching, they decided to proceed based that would be their choice if they were in your situation. 

“All of you were taken to our ship to receive the treatments.  Once there you were given a genetic virus cocktail while in an incubator.  You were in it for a little more than two months.  This is because you needed the extensive life support that only the incubator could supply.  During this time each of you were treated several more times with a genetic virus.  Medically all of you are nearly fully recovered.  There are still some changes taking place in the third segment of your legs but they are essentially complete.  The changes you apparently have noticed in your features are the result of those treatments.” 

“Ship?” 

“I would prefer to delay responding to that question for a bit.” 

“Okay.” 

“Let me summarize the results of the changes in your body:  Your height is now seven feet eight inches.  As you've noticed, your feet now are structured differently besides being longer and wider.  The changes in your feet contributed to your increase in height.  I think you noticed that the joint you thought of as your ankle is now shaped differently and is combined with your former heel.  What you think of as your ankle is now a modified ball shaped joint.  It is shaped to correctly transfer your weight to the balls of your feet through the reshaped metatarsal segments.  What you refer to as the balls of your feet is now the portion in contact with the ground.  To accomplish that, those joints have changed significantly.  At the balls of your foot, it is about 50% wider or about six and half inches wide, and this may increase by another inch.  From the tip of your toe to the back of the pad it is about five and half inches which an increase of about an inch.  While this segment completes its changes, you will need to wear the special supports such as the shoes you are wearing.  After that, you may want to continue wearing them during some activities.  Without these additional changes, you would have soon found it difficult walk or stand for any length of time and forget running.  Now, with the reshaped ankle joint, and the segment with the metatarsals, it is now more than adequate to carry your larger stature. 

“Your shoulders are broader and have more muscle, as does your upper back.  Both of these changes give you additional strength.  You may not have noticed when you were checking out your body, but your chest is a bit larger and your hips are a bit wider.  This results in a significant increase in stamina.  With the increase in your chest and shoulders, your breast cup size has decreased, but the breast volume is still the same.” 

“I noticed that my hips seem to be wider and my hair seems thicker.  But I didn't notice much change in my shoulders.  I did notice that my body seemed more muscular as I could see them move under my skin.  It didn't seem like I was much taller.  It seems I now have a tail with hair, and more hair on my back.” 

“The tail is a side effect of the treatments.  Another side effect is that your only body hair is on the crown of your head, eyebrows, eyelashes, the mane down your back and tail.  A portion of your height increase is due to strengthening your back so that you stand straighter.  The change in your feet also contributed to your change in height.  The additional muscles in your back and shoulders now have sufficient strength to support your bust thus minimizing sagging.  Along with that the structure of your breasts has changed so they will have hardly any tendency to sag or droop. 

“Your skin color is darker.  This makes it less sensitive to extended sunlight as you will find it much more comfortable to be nude than clothed.  The increased pigmentation will reduce the chance of you damaging your skin from exposure to the sun.” 

“Does that mean I can't wear clothes?  How will I be able to go anywhere?  Oh, that implies we are prisoners here.”  Sarah's tears broke free again. 

“You can wear some clothes when safety or security requires it.  You will find nudity much more comfortable over a wider range of temperatures. 

“As for your friends, we didn't change Jill or Janet's unique tongue but all of you will find your tongue is longer, as is your jaw.  The effect of this is your face is a slightly more angular due to a more pronounced jaw and cheek bones.”  While the AI was talking, Sarah extended her tongue and found she could touch her nose and chin with its tip.  “You probably won't notice it because of the other changes to your face but your nose is larger making it easier to breathe.  If anyone else would like a split tongue similar Jill's or Janet's, it can be done, and probably easier than their experience. 

“The issue with clothing centers around the increased sensitivity of your breasts and vaginal area.  All your friends are very similar to you in features including breasts and lactation rate.  The clit and labia are more sensitive.  The labia are larger and swell considerably during arousal.  This increased sensitivity will make it very easy for each of you to become aroused and to satisfy that arousal.  This sensitivity to arousal is what will make it very difficult to cover your breasts or crotch for very long.” 

Sarah sat, listening in amazement to the AI tell her about the changes in her body.  She could see a number of truths in the AI's words remembering the changes she saw in herself in the mirror.  At the same time she realized many of the changes were subtle.  She also didn't sense any hostile intent from whoever the people were behind this.  Which was a little confusing.  Everything that had happened wasn't something they would have chosen, but she sensed the changes would not hurt them. 

“I think the changes in my body are not as dramatic as what the others will experience on waking up.  At least now mine seem like just small adjustments to my appearance before coming here.” 

“There is one last major change.  All of you now have two hearts.”  Sarah gasped.  “They work in parallel.  This is necessary for you to be able to easily support your larger frame.  An advantage is that it significantly improves your stamina. 

“Each of you will find increased sensitivity to sound, smell and taste.  Now it will be possible to sense things you may have overlooked before.  The changes in your vision allow you to see when there are very low levels of light.  The low light capability does not impact your normal vision.  Your vision is sharper than before. 

“There is a lot of change implied by what I just told you, but please be assured that the staff took a lot of pains to maintain your visual appearance and not make any more changes than necessary to protect your health.  They think, they were successful but we will only know after all of you are awake.  The changes do make all seven females appear to be siblings and in some respects almost like twins. 

“Rusty's changes are similar to yours.  The changes in his appearance give the impression he is the eighth sibling in your group.  He is as tall as you but with slightly broader shoulders.  His feet are shaped like yours.  His cock is a bit longer and thicker.  His balls are nearly twice the size they were.  His sexual stamina was increased so he could keep up with all of you.  In terms of physical stamina and strength all of you are nearly identical. 

“As each of you wake up, you will quickly develop a very deep bond.  The medical staff can tell you more about bonding.  They are not sure of the actual depth or degree of bonding your group will develop due to the unique treatments you received.  Once all of you have bonded, we believe you will find it desirable to have frequent physical contact with each other, as much as once a day.  Failing to have physical contact for an extended period may cause a high level of anxiety which if not relieved could lead to depression. 

“Your bonded group can and may grow to include more members.  As a group, you may choose to accept others into your group.  Once a newcomer bonds wit the group, it requires some special precautions for them to  comfortably with draw from it.  Also the staff recommends that any newcomers receive a genetic treatment, so they have the same capabilities as your group.  Primarily this is so they will be able to keep up with the rest of you. 

“Your tail is a natural extension of your back bone.  Those who have it indicate that it has a good effect on arousal and climax.  The treatments altered your aging process so that it is now considerably slower.  All of you are much more fertile but now have control over when you are fertile.  You should expect to carry multiple babies, but your bodies will be relatively unaffected by the stress of pregnancy.  During pregnancy the body will change only enough to accommodate the babies.  After birthing, you will revert back to your original physique in a short time.  Child birth will be very easy for all of you.  Nothing like the stories you have heard on Earth.” 

“Multiple births?  Is that why we were brought here?”  Sarah had an amazed look on her face as she realized the direction of this conversation. 

“Yes.  The contract was for each female to complete 10 birthing cycles.  For each birthing cycle, you would have three sets of twins.”  Sarah started to speak.  “Yes, your claim of not seeing or signing a contract is noted and forwarded to the administrators. 

“As soon as the sedative is out of your system, you can become pregnant.  Typically this occurs within a month or so of arriving.  It is expected that your first delivery will be three sets of twins but could be only two sets.  Both Sally and Terry will become pregnant shortly after you do or possibly at the same time.  For the other women it will be a little longer before they are ready to begin.  But all of you will likely be pregnant within the next two months.” 

“None of us have had children before.  What happens to the babies after they are born?  How do we manage to care for that many at one time?” 

“It will be hectic for a while until they are placed in foster homes.  In the past this has been about one month after their birth.  The month wait is to maximize their strength and breeding characteristics.  This time also permits them to benefit from their mother’s care.  The quick transfer is to avoid the mothers developing a strong bond with the babies before they leave.  This helps you avoid depression as well.  Your milk will be preserved so it can be sent to the foster parents for the babies.  Continuing to supply milk to them is important for their development.  The foster homes will all be good homes where the children will receive excellent care.” 

“What if we don't want too?” 

“That is not a choice.  There are ways for us to do this without your help but we believe your willing cooperation would result in a better offspring.  Cooperating will also be better for your health.  Rusty will be the father of all the babies. 

“Again we were under the impression that you agreed to this before you came, but based on your earlier comments and now, there apparently is not an agreement from your group's point of view.  When we are done here I will actively bring this to the administrator's attention.  I am surprised the agreement issue did not come out in the interviews.” 

“Where are we?” 

“On an island in the Atlantic Ocean that is a considerable distance from any continent.  It covers nearly 520 square kilometers.  More details will be available later.” 

“When can I leave my room?” 

“At any time.  The map you were looking at is for these facilities.  The kitchen is fully stocked.  With in a short time you will need to do your own cooking and other related chores.  From your prospective the island is largely self-sufficient.  Supplies will be automatically restocked when needed.  This building has several special rooms for your use.  There is a library.  One room is set up as office space with a computer network.  It contains a computer with access to the Internet for each of you.  There is a large room that can be used to watch movies or other community activity.  There is a large exercise room in addition to the room you use when you're milked and exercise.” 

“Where are Dorothy and Marie?” 

“They are taking care of your friends until they are ready to wake up.  They are scheduled to wake up over the next several days although it could be sooner in an emergency.  We thought it would be easier for all of you to adjust if just a few woke up at a time.” 

“What do you mean taking care of them?” 

“Well they have to assist each person as they are fed, exercised and bathed.  The exercises are on the bench you saw in your exercise room next to the bathroom.  As you noticed it can satisfy your sexual needs while you exercise.” 

“So that must be why, I did everything after I got up without really thinking about it.  It all seemed so natural.” 

“For the last 4 months, Dorothy and Marie have guided all of you through those steps three times a day.” 

“What happens to Dorothy and Marie after everyone is up?” 

“I don't know.  I could speculate that they will return to doing the work they were before coming here.” 

“Which was?” 

“They worked primarily as EMS technicians at a place where there are a lot of pregnant women.  They could also be used as escorts, sex toys, or contracted to carry a baby for a fee.” 

“Sounds like a baby farm.  If they wanted to, could they stay here?” 

“The administrators will make that decision.” 

“How are Bob, Nancy and our other friends doing?” 

“I will have to ask the administrator as that is not part of my database.” 

“Do you have a name?” 

“Not in your sense.” 

“Can I give you one as it will make it much easier to direct questions to you when the others are awake?” 

“That doesn't go against any of my instructions.  Also, Rusty is due to wake up later today and you should be with him when he does.  So since it is breakfast time, you have some free time before lunch to explore.  Right after lunch you need to go to his room to be with him when he wakes up.” 

“Why don't we call you Donna?” 

“Okay.” 

“Do you monitor us all the time?  Will you be listening to our conversations?” 

“Not actively.  Once everyone is up, the plan is for monitoring to change to just responding to requests and passively monitoring your health and stress.”
