Cameron awoke to a strange lilting sound and a light weight pressing on his
legs.  As he opened his eyes he looked down the length of the bed only to
see a vision the like of which he had never before seen.  Kneeling across
his lower legs was the boy Matteus, his ebony hair shone like black jet,
his body lightly oiled giving him a surreal appearance.  The slight muscles
in his throat worked as he sang a soft song, much like a lullaby to his new
boss.  Looking down further Cameron could see that the boy was as naked as
the day he was born.  The taught skin on his thighs shone with the same
sheen of oil as the rest of the delightfully slim body, his slim shaft
seemed to be semi erect as he looked at Cameron and continued with his
song.

When the song had finished Cameron smiled at the young boy and held out his
arms for him to come closer.  Matteus needed no second urging as he leaned
forward to those open arms and was taken into a gentle hug.

"Matteus, that was the most beautiful way to wake up, thank you."

Matteus smiled up at his boss.  Then he wriggled a little to ease the
pressure he felt at his groin as he hardened to his full 4 & 1/2"s, the
foreskin peeling back to reveal a small golden head hidden underneath.  A
blush came over his face as he realized that his new boss had felt him get
hard.

"Would you like me to help you with that Matteus?"

"Hehehehe...uhm, would you?"

Cameron moved his hands under the boy's armpits and lifted him up until he
was kneeling astride his chest.  He then lowered his mouth to take the hard
little nail into its warmth.  At the first touch Matteus stiffened, gave
two short gasps and was filling Cameron's mouth with warm jets of cum.  It
had taken less than ten seconds and the boy dissolved into jello as he
collapsed onto Cameron's chest panting.

"Well you were ready for that weren't you?"

A strange combination of muffled grunts and panting came from the head now
pressed into Cameron's chest.

"Well Matteus did you sleep well last night, you look great this morning."

"Yes thank you Cameron, the other guys were great, they helped me wash this
morning and then put the oil on for me and told me to sing you awake, did
you like it?"

"Yep, you can wake me up everyday like that if you want to."

"Ok boss I'll be your wake up call every day."

"Right let me up to shower, you go get some breakfast with the others."

Matteus smiled that beautiful open smile of his and jumped off the bed
waving to Cameron as he went out the door.  Cameron slid out of the bed and
as he made his way to the shower he opened contact with Jason.

'What did you find out about the boy Jason?'

"The best I can estimate Besat is that the boy is about 15 earth years old,
he has a small tumor in his left lung and is undernourished, there has a
deficiency of calcium in his bone structure which is why he is a little
small for his age, his left ear drum is damaged but only mildly and his
right eye has the beginnings of a cataract.'

'Can you heal him Jason?'

"Yes Besat but he would have to be brought here or wait until we have built
the facilities down there.'

'How urgent are they?'

'Only the tumor needs attention soon but he will be ok until the facility
can be built, it is not life threatening as yet.'

'Thank you Jason we'll do that then and wait till we can fix him here.'

'Besat?'

'Yes Jason?'

'The earth conglomerate has just been given permission to amalgamate, they
are now in control of nearly all the power, transport and fuel needs of
earth, the twenty-seven members of the board are all of Melecasian blood
while some are mixed blood The top five are pure Melecasian.'

'Thank you Jason, anything else?'

'Yes Besat, it will mean we will have to be very careful about our landing
of equipment for the processing plants on the Island, while the Melecasians
are very greedy and warlike they are no fools.'

'Ok Jason take any steps needed to protect the shipments and landings, I'm
seeing the government people today so I will let you know when and where we
will be building.'

'It shall be done Besat.'

'Thank you Jason.'

Cameron stepped under the spray of the shower.  While the water was not
very hot it was sufficient for the tropical heat that pervaded the Island
at this hour of the day.  The Island's humidity was already high as the sea
breezes had not as yet started and wouldn't do so until after lunchtime.

Cameron made his way down to the dining room for breakfast and noticed that
most of his crew were either still eating or had finished and were standing
or sitting around the hotel.  He sat down at a vacant table and the five
intimates along with Matteus came and sat with him smiling and nodding to
him.

A chorus of "Morning Besat" greeted his arrival, even little Matteus joined
in the greeting.  It seemed that the other five had filled Matteus in on
the position of Cameron in the group.  He was sure they had not mentioned
where they were really from.

"Matteus, would you like to help me today, I have to meet the government
people about the factory and I could use you help with them?"

"Yes Besat(giggle), but I don't know anything about building or things,
what can I do?"

"I would like you to watch them and then whisper to me anything you think
may help to get the factory built, I don't know the customs and you do so
you can help me to not make mistakes, ok?"

"Yes of course but I don't know how much help I can be, I'm not important
like others on the Island."

"You're important to me and the others here Matteus and that's what
counts."

Matteus blushed at the acceptance of all these boys and ducked his head
down shyly.

"Now Matteus we have to get some clothes for you so they will know you are
part of our company, you ready to go shopping?"

"New clothes, for me? real new ones?"

"Yep, you're a company man now Matteus and we look after our company men."

Cameron leaned over the table and ruffled the boy's hair.

"Ready, lets go then."

Cameron got to his feet and the other boys along with the guard detail rose
with him.  The group made their way outside into the now boiling hot and
stark glare of the tropical sunlight.  The group ambled along the dusty
street to the small collection of shops to find some clothes for the new
arrival into their midst.

When the shopping had been finished they all returned to the hotel for
lunch.  After the meal Cameron sent Matteus to get dressed in his new
clothes ready for the meeting in an hour.  When he returned Cameron's
breath was taken away at the sight of the golden boy dressed in a stark
white short-sleeved shirt, tucked neatly into a pair of tan shorts with a
brown belt, on his feet were the new brown leather sandals favored in the
Islands for their comfort and yet they still looked dressy for formal wear.

Matteus glowed in the new clothes as they were a perfect compliment to his
already outstanding good looks and golden color.  Cameron smiled and nodded
his head in approval at the sight of the boy and with a gesture to the
others they made their way outside the hotel and moved in the direction
Matteus said the government offices were.

The meeting with the seven high chiefs was long and drawn out, with parts
of it being traditional and other parts purely business.  Matteus stayed
just behind Cameron's shoulder most of the time and only when he saw
something that could be exploited by Cameron would he lean in close and
whisper in Cameron's ear on how to proceed with flattery or coercion or
hard bargaining depending on the person or the subject under discussion.
Cameron knew right from the start he would not have pulled it off so well
had it not been for the boy beside him, his help was invaluable to the
whole enterprise and so it was at last finished after four hours of
bargaining and discussion they had all the approvals they needed and could
begin to build that very night.

Cameron and Jopty had discussed the landings and had decided to land all
the parts needed for the construction on the first night then they could go
on with the building during the night and all of the next day.  The
construction would be done by the robots that would also run most of the
factory, while the Islanders that wanted to work would be given jobs as
security around the Island, as a look out group, and in the town for when
there were visitors.  Once production started they would need most of the
men on the wharfs that they would build to load the ships and unload the
raw materials.  While this also could be done by robotics it was better for
visitors to see humans working in the open rather than the sophisticated
robotics employed by the Preamedeans as a labor force.

The day moved on at its usual slow pace until the setting sun called
everyone again to the beachfront to watch the marvel of the dying sun sink
into the blueness of the surrounding ocean. Everyone hoped there would be
another performance of that beautiful child like voice of Matteus as he
said good bye to the daylight.  They were not disappointed as even though
he had had a full day with Cameron at the meeting he quickly began to sing
another song at Cameron's request as the sun sank lower.  Matteus changing
the mood of the song as the sun died, again there was total silence as the
song faded away with the last rays of the sun as it disappeared over the
far off horizon.

There was a collective sigh as the last strains of his voice died and they
all began to move toward the hotels for dinner.  This was going to be a
long night and they only had two hours to get to the pre-chosen area of the
landing and building site.  It had been decided to use a small plateau near
the center of the Island and after the exchange of a lot of credits from
the bank account set up by Jopty the land had be signed over to Cameron and
the now newly formed 'Nuie Neutron Electronics' company.

An hour after the sun had died the large group was assembled outside
Cameron's hotel along with Matteus to guide them they began the twenty
minute walk to the landing site to await for the first arrival and its
precious cargo of robotics for the beginning of construction and unloading
of the other six transports.

When they arrived at the site Cameron looked around at the overgrown area
and nodded to ten of his guards.  The guards adjusted their batons and
began to sweep them over the ground in slow arcs as they moved forward.
The emerald light from the tips of the batons dissolved the undergrowth and
long grasses as they moved, no ashes of broken branches remained once they
had cleared a large area of about five acres.  The ground underneath
instead of the sandy soil and volcanic rock was now smooth and shone with a
dullness that looked a little like dark green glass.

Within minutes of completion there was a faint shimmering in the air not
fifty meters above there heads and with a soft hum a medium size transport
began to lower itself to the cleared ground.  Matteus saw it and stood in a
rigid shock like stance as the huge ship settled softly to the ground.  He
had been gaping all the time the guards had been clearing the ground but
could not move from the place beside his beloved 'Boss'.

Cameron looked down at the shocked expression on his new boys face
remembering how he felt when Jopty had picked him up not so long ago at the
end of his tether with the life he'd had.

"It's ok Matteus, I'll tell you everything later tonight, don't be scared
we're here to help not to hurt anyone, ok?"

"Y...y...yess, Cameron,..you...you...you're from up there in the stars?"

"No Matteus I'm not but the others are, I was born up there but came to
earth when I was still a baby so I'm still like you when it comes to that,
I still think I belong here on earth and that it's my real home, don't
worry for now I'll tell you everything tomorrow but you can't say a word
about this to anyone ok?"

"I promise Cameron, no one will know, this is so great, real space men."

The transport bay opened and the preprogramming of the robotics took over
as they assembled in ranks in front of the group of humanoids.  A small
stick figure of a robot came forward to stand in front of Cameron, the
voice synthesizer began to speak to Cameron in the faint metallic accent
that over time Cameron became used to.

"Besat, by your command we are assembled, General Jopty sends his regards
and will have the next transport here in five Earth minutes to begin
construction."

The robot turned and went back to the assembly of others to wait for the
next ship.  The first already lifting off and within seconds had shimmered
into nothingness as a few minutes later an even bigger transporter
shimmered into view, landing as quietly and precisely as the first.  The
robots went into immediate action as the bay doors opened and the cargo was
displayed for them to move.

The group of Praemedeans stood back to watch as the robots began to speed
up and it seemed to Cameron as it did to the others that the factory just
appeared to grow out of the ground as the robots assembled and unloaded
with such ease, every part was taken out of the hold in the order it was to
be erected on the site.

The outer shell of the factory sprang into being as red and green flashes
from the arms of the robots fixed it into place leaving nothing to show how
it had been welded together.  The joints in the prefabricated walls were
seamless and looked like one large piece of greenish marble looking much
like dark jade.  Once the outer walls were erected the robots began to
unload so much equipment that Cameron could not make head or tail of it
all.  The building took up most of the site leaving only a narrow strip
around the perimeter so that the factory took up a good four and a half
acres of the land.

The rest of the transports landed and unloaded quickly so that by sunrise
all that could be seen was the enormous green marble like building with a
group of young boys standing around to watch the day breaking. There was
not a robot in sight and no sounds came from the factory although inside it
was a hive of activity as the robotics began to set it up for production.

On the following night they would construct the last of their needs and
that was the two jetties they would need for their cargo ships to use, the
first of which would arrive in three days with the first load of scrap to
be used to make the goods for export.  Cameron knew that to build the
jetties could open up a lot of talk among the Islanders when they got to
see the robots at work but Jason had come up with an idea to make sure they
were all sleeping soundly for the night it would take to do the
construction.  He would use a low frequency sound wave that would keep them
all asleep until the project was finished, he assured Cameron that it would
not be detected by the Melecasians and it would not do any harm to the
people on the Island.

The large group left the site and made their weary way down to the town,
the last meeting for Cameron and Matteus would be to select and purchase a
site for the group's accommodations to be built on. When Matteus was told
about it he made a suggestion that made Cameron smile at the sheer
simplicity of it and mentally kicked himself for not thinking of it before.

Matteus had told him of a large resort hotel that had been closed for three
years now as they couldn't operate it with so few tourists coming to the
Island.  It was just below the factory site down on the beach front and was
plenty big enough to house the entire group with a lot of space left over
for later arrivals.

When the meeting took place with the owners of the resort they were very
happy to be rid of it for only 1 million credits and would have it signed
over to Cameron's company by that afternoon, with a smile and a shake of
hands Cameron and little Matteus headed for their temporary home at the
hotel in the middle of the small town.

Matteus felt so comfortable to Cameron as he walked with him, his arm over
the boys shoulder in a gesture of closeness as well as friendship, the boy
snuggled in as close as he could as he walked beside his one and only
friend who just happened to be his new boss as well as above all else a
real live spaceman like they had in the cheap novels he had read at times
when a tourist had left one on the beach for him to pick up.

The next night was much the same as the robotics hustled and rushed around
so that by one hour before dawn broke there were two new large green marble
like jetties pushing out from the edge of the Island into deep water with
two large spires at the end of each one, this Jason had told Cameron was
for weather control so that no matter what the sea was like around the
jetties would always be calm and the loading or unloading of the ships
could be done without having to wait for good weather to tie up the ships.

At last Cameron could stand back and look at it all, it was at last done
and ready for the first part of their plan to start, in a few days the
first of the scrap would be here and then it would begin, as he took a last
look around with his arm over the shoulders of Matteus a blue flash went
through his head and Jason broke into his reverie.

'Besat, the Melecasians picked up the last transport to leave the Island,
they don't know where it came from or where it went to but they are
alarmed, we will have to be ready for them if they find you, I suggest you
alert your guards and take the precautions you deem fit.'

'Thank you Jason I will see to it.'

'Yes Besat.'

"Damn" thought Cameron, it had to be now just when he thought it was going
so smoothly.
