The Legacy of a Starman

Chapter 15


	Four men blocked the right side of the hallway.  A very large black
man was in the middle of the foursome.  He was being fucked by a shorter
Hispanic man and was being blown by a white man.  Standing in front of the
very big black dude was another black man.  This fourth man was much more
slender than the man blowing him.  However, he made up for his smaller size
by pushing a very big dick into the big man's mouth.

	Along with several other men, I wanted the foursome pleasure each
other.  All of the watchers were beating off slowly.  After a few more
minutes, two of the voyeurs lost control and sprayed their loads over the
back of the big, black man.  He moaned with as much joy as the two sprayers
had.  Another man leaned in and licked cum from the big man's back.  More
men sprayed their loads and once more the cum lover licked up their
offerings.

	The Hispanic fucker pounded hard into the black ass he was pumping
and cut loose.  With a strangled yell, he filled the black men with a warm
load of jizz.  That was the trigger for his partner to nutt, too.  The
young man sucking on the big man's dick gargled happily as torrents of nutt
coursed into his mouth.  The only one not getting his nutt was the black
man getting blown by the big man.

	The big man in the middle stood up, nodded to his benefactors and
headed to the showers.  Immediately, I asked the black man getting blown if
he still wanted to get his rocks off.  He checked out my hard, long, fat
dick and smiled.  "Yeah, but you gotta fuck me with that monster
afterwards.  I generally fuck ass, but my true preference is to get
fucked," he revealed.

	"Do you have a room?  I got here too late to get one," I said.

	"Yeah," he replied with a smile.  "I was just trawling the halls
looking for a conquest when that big guy pulled my dick into his mouth.  I
have no idea why someone else didn't offer up their dick."

	"Maybe they did and had already dumped their load down his throat,"
I suggested.

	"It's possible, I suppose," he countered as we turned another
corner and stopped in front of the first door on the left.  "Welcome to my
lair," he purred.  "How do you like it?" he asked as he closed the door
behind us.  "Doggie, missionary, sitting on it, spoons?"

	"Anything that gets your nutt in my butt," I admitted.  "But, you
have to eat my ass out first.  I need to relax before I can take a dick as
big as yours," I lied.

	I got up on the bed on all fours.  He got behind me immediately and
pushed his face between my black, bubble butt orbs.  "Um!  Delicious!" he
praised.  "You've been loaded up, and recently."

	"Yeah, my husband did the deed for me.  I returned the favor."

	"Must be nice to have a guy who pumps out big load who loves
breeding you," he sighed.  "I'm still looking for my perfect breeder.  But,
meanwhile, I'll settle for big dicks and frequent breeding here."

	"So, eat me out and enjoy my husband's load before you fuck my
black ass," I insisted.  Truthfully, I love sitting on a face with a long
tongue that wants to eat cum from my hole.  Of course, I can't get felched
too long.  I need a big dick in my ass sooner than you'd think, followed by
a big load.

	For a few more minutes, he felched out Ford's load.  I was nearly
ready to beg to get fucked, when he quickly mounted and started fucking me.
"If I'd waited any longer," he moaned, "I'd have shot my load into the
sheets.  As it is, I'm dangerously close to losing it."

	I smiled over my shoulder at him and started working my ass
muscles.  I wanted his load as soon as I could get it.  I was suffering
from the same problem he was.  If I didn't start fucking soon, I'd spray my
load all over the sheets beneath me.  Besides, I wanted to fuck that hot
ass of his as soon as possible.

	"You'll make me nutt!" he cautioned with a strangled cry.  "I'm
gonna cum!"  With a bellow, he slammed hard into me and unloaded.  I pushed
back against him, trying to get his dick as deep as it would go and sucked
up every drop of jizz he was squirting.  As his climax peaked, I grabbed
his ass and pulled him hard into me.  "Fuck, yeah!" he praised.

	"Breed my black ass," I begged.

	But, he was wrung out.  He collapsed atop me and allowed his dick
to jerk the last dribbles of cum into me.  Still holding on to his ass, I
made sure that he didn't pull out before I'd received all he could offer.
"Nice load and a hot fuck," I murmured.  "No small wonder that men like to
get fucked by you."

	"Thanks," he sighed as he slowly pulled out.  "But, I still prefer
taking a big dick and a hot load up my manhole."

	"I think I can accommodate you on that point," I replied.  I pushed
him on to his back and raised his legs, and then pressed them into his
chest.  His manhole winked at me.  My tongue darted out and tasted him.
He'd been fucked recently as well.  "Yum!  A preloaded hole.  My favorite!"

	"In that case, you'll be pleased to know that I have two loads up
my hole," he smiled up at me, "one Hispanic load and one white load.  No
one has bothered to eat them out until you came along."

	I munched and sucked on his asshole for a couple of minutes before
I pulled away for a moment.  "Are you about ready for the biggest load
you've ever had in your life?"  He smiled broadly.  "This isn't bravado," I
warned him.  "I nutt a lot when I spray my cream."

	"How much is a lot?" he challenged.

	"A little more than a cup."

	"HOLY FUCK!  You shittin' me?" he blurted out.

	"Deadly serious," I responded.  "And you may need to dash for the
men's room after I breed you," I smirked.  "Or you could sit on my face and
I'll take care of the excess."

	"Oh, yeah, the latter for sure," he nodded enthusiastically.  "I
love getting rimmed and felched after I've been fucked and bred."  He
paused for a moment while I lubed up his hole.  "Either your husband pumps
out a huge load, too, or you've already serviced several men.  I ate a lot
of cum from your hole."

	"That would be my husband's load.  He shoots at least as much as I
do.  And he has a bigger dick," I revealed.

	"Is he here tonight?"

	"Oh, yeah.  He wouldn't miss this for anything," I laughed.  "He's
probably in the sling room, fucking or getting fucked.  He does love hot
sex."  I could tell that he wanted to fuck with Ford, but had better social
graces than to ask.  Taking me on was the first order of business.  Getting
back to the task at hand, I pressed my dick against his black hole and
pushed gently.

	"Wow!  You're enormous.  And you say your husband is bigger?" he
queried.

	"Thicker and longer."

	"How can you take so much dick?"

	"Years and years of practice," I smiled.  As we'd been conversing,
I'd been pushing my dick deeper and deeper.  He was offering no resistance,
but I knew if I pushed faster, he'd want me to stop.  I made my dick jerk
deep inside him when I hit bottom.  "You got it all, Man!"

	"Yeah, feels so big and so good.  I can't wait to get that monster
load shot the deepest any man has ever been," he sighed.  I pulled out
about half way and then slid forward again.  "Yeah, just like that.  I'm so
glad the scourge is gone.  I love taking loads from a monster dick like
yours.  In the last few years, this place has grown incredibly popular."

	"I did notice that it's much bigger than the last time I was here a
few years back," I concurred.

	"Did you know that they expanded into other west coast cities?" he
moaned as I picked up the pace slightly.

	"I didn't know that.  How many new places have they added?"

	"At least another eight or nine, possibly more," he replied.
"There was talk that they were going to add another one here, but they
expanded to take up the whole block, so I don't think a new one in the city
will happen now."

 	"That's probably the correct decision," I agreed.  "A big place
like this gives you more of a chance to meet the men you really wanna fuck
with, whereas a smaller place would more likely be potluck."

	"I'm sure glad I met you here," he said.  "I love getting fucked
and bred by big dicks.  Most men see my big, black dick and they want me to
do the fucking.  And I'm such a slut that a hard dick or a sweet ass gets
my dick hard and I need to nutt."

	"I know the feeling," I said.  "When I first started fucking around
with men, any hot ass would get me hard and I'd wanna fuck it.  Then, I met
Ford and found out that taking a monster dick up the ass was a delightful
alternative.  Anytime he needs to breed me, I'm up for it."

	"And he must think the same about that incredible ass of yours."

	I nodded.  "And you're about to find out what a monster load of
nutt feels like as it jets up your ass.  All this hot talk has brought up
amazing memories of some pretty astounding dicks and fucks I've enjoyed."
With a grunt, I began unloading my big, full balls again.  Wave after wave
of cresting climaxes hit me hard with each jet of sperm into his hungry
asshole.  He pulled me down and kissed me as I bred him.  With a free hand,
he pulled me harder into him, his big hand on my pistoning ass.

	"Oh, MAN!" he exulted.  "I've never been fucked and bred so deep
before.  I love this!"  Both of his hands were now on my ass, holding me
tightly against his hole, making sure that the full length of my dick was
inside him, spraying my cream as deeply as possible.  His ass muscles
worked furiously on my pumping member, attempting to extract as much of my
man juices as his deep love tunnel could drink.  "I'll bet you've been told
many times that it feels like you're pissing, because you nutt so much."

	"I've heard that before," I grinned.  "And it's all nutt, not
piss!"  I pulled out slowly, pushed his knees into his chest.  His ass rose
off the bed and I commenced to felch him out.  A minute later, he was
sitting on my face, allowing more of my cream to flow into my mouth.

	"If you were my husband," he sighed as I grabbed my towel and
turned toward the door, "I'd never let you out of the bedroom.  I'd want to
be loaded every day."

	"We can recover in about ten minutes, so we'd fill you up so often
that you'd never want to see us again," I said.  "That's the main reason we
come to this sex club.  We have too much nutt to only share it with each
other."

	"Only ten minutes?"

	"Yeah."

	"How long can you keep that up?"

	"A couple of hours or more, I suppose."

	"You must breed a lot of men at this club, then?"

	"We do."  I left his room and hit the showers.  Five other men were
in there and all were being serviced in one manner or another.  I was
offered several butts and a few blowjobs, but elected to save myself until
I'd checked out the sling room.  Ford was probably in there and I wanted
him to know about my new friend.

	Ford was in the fifth sling on the right.  One white man was
pounding his ass and bellowing out a climax.  Three other men stood behind
the breeding man, hard dicks in hand, ready to add their essence to Ford's
ass.  When Ford saw me, he grinned and motioned me forward.  I walked up
and stood by his head.

	"I could use a big dick in my mouth right about now," he whispered.
I immediately obliged and my dick responded rigidly instantly.  Meanwhile,
the white man who had just bred Ford pulled his dick out and left.  The
next man was of mixed races, but I couldn't tell which one dominated.  His
very dark dick could have been the result of Mediterranean ancestry or
African.  His features combined to give him a handsome, exotic look.  He
entered Ford's ass easily, even though he had a big dick.  Ford moaned with
pleasure as he continued blowing me.

	"Both of you have really big dicks," he allowed, meaning Ford and
me.  "Do either of you like to fuck?"  We nodded in unison.  "After I get
off, I'd love to have both of you breed me, but one at a time, please.
There is no way I could take on two big dicks like you have at the same
time."

	"Do you have a room?" Ford asked.

	"Yeah, but I've not used it yet.  I haven't found the right man to
breed me there.  And now, I have two!"  He pulled out of Ford's ass before
he shot his load.  "I think I'd rather get fucked and see if you can fuck
my nutt out of my balls in my room.  Maybe something like a fuck sandwich
with me in the middle?"

	As we walked back to his room, I turned to our new friend and said,
"I have to warn you.  Both of us nutt a huge amount; so we'll have to let
you take a few minutes to dump the first load in the bathroom; or you can
sit on a face."  He smiled at the alternatives and said that he'd cross
that bridge when we came to it, not believing that both of us shot that
much sperm with each climax.

	"You should finish what you started with me," Ford suggested.  "And
Mike can pound your ass as you fuck mine."  He liked the idea and moved to
top Ford.  With my husband on his stomach and our new friend plugged into
his ass, I mounted the new guy and pressed gently.

	"FUCK!  You're enormous!" he grimaced.

	"And Ford is even bigger, so you'd better get used to it."

	He grabbed my ass and held me tightly against his ass.  His attempt
to accommodate my length and girth by slowing my fucking rhythm seemed to
work.  He relaxed enough that I could feel the tension drain away from his
body.  "Oh, that feels so good.  Just fucking me is gonna make me nutt,
though," he warned.  I slowed my pace and prevented his climax.  But, I
knew it wouldn't last long.  Ford would begin using his ass muscles at any
moment.  He did love a big dick spraying a load of man juice into him.

	The guy's upward curved dick was shredding Ford's prostate, so Ford
worked his ass muscles to their maximum to get the guy to nutt.  Otherwise,
Ford was going to soak the sheets with his cream.  With a suddenness that
surprised all of us, the new man cut loose with his climax, bellowing out
his pleasure.  He continued to pound Ford's ass and back up on my dick.
His ass convulsed around my dick, pulling me closer and closer to my
climax.  He back up savagely on to my pistoning dick and thrust me over the
edge into a debilitating climax.  I flopped on his back like a fish out of
water as I loaded his ass with my man cream.

	"Fuckin' FILL ME!" he begged, as his dick ceased firing into Ford's
ass.  His concentration was on my pistoning dick now that his climax was
ebbing.  "I love getting bred!" he moaned as more squirts of my man juices
jetted into him, filling him up to the point of overflowing.

	Ford had pulled off his dick and was cleaning off the fat dick that
had just bred him.  A moment later, I felt one of his hands playing with my
bouncing nuts as my climax reached a crescendo.  When Ford felt the sticky
wetness of my sperm leaking from our new friend's ass, he immediately left
the dick he was sucking and moved beneath us.  His tongue lashed at the
point where my dick entered the new guy and lapped up as much of my creamy
load as he could.

	When I eventually pulled out, Ford made sure that his tongue and
lips were tightly pressed against our bedmates asshole.  A few moments
later, he engulfed my dick and cleaned me off, too.

	"You guys are amazing," our new friend said.  "If I didn't have an
early call for work tomorrow morning, I'd invite you home to breed and fuck
me all night long.  I love your big dicks, monster loads, and incredibly
edible and fuckable asses.  I've always wanted to be used for the sexual
pleasure of more than one man all night long."

	"Leave us a way to contact you," Ford smiled.  "We may still be in
your future."  I nodded my eager agreement.

	We left his rented room and headed for the showers.  I instantly
spied a man that looked very familiar, but I wasn't sure who he was.  He
smiled knowingly at me and moved over to our side of the shower room.
"It's been a very long time, but I'll never forget you," he said.  "I'm
Jack and I was a bartender here some years ago.  And I clearly remember
taking the biggest load of my life from you," he added.

	Immediately, I knew who he was and I clearly recalled how good he
was in bed.  I introduced him to Ford, my husband.  I didn't think that
Earth had progressed enough to know that Ford and I were half-brothers.  He
smiled at Ford and then a curious looks spread across his face.

	"Didn't you come in here some years ago, too?" Jack asked.

	Ford nodded and grinned.  "And I remember you as the bartender and
a very hot fuck, but I don't know if I ever knew your name," Ford smirked.

	"I wasn't so much into names back then as I was into getting fucked
and bred as often as I could get a stiff dick up my ass," Jack laughed.  "I
was the biggest slut in the place."

	"I remember that you liked to fuck on your breaks and after work,"
I said.  "And it seems to me that you also came in on your days off to get
some more dick."

	Jack laughed at my recollection.  "Some nights after work, I'd
spend the rest of the evening getting as my dicks as I could in the sling
room.  Have you noticed how many more slings we have now?"

	"Oh, yeah," Ford agreed.  "The place has expanded a lot.  You have
the whole block now."

	"After the scourge was eliminated, this place got super busy," Jack
revealed.  "I suggested to the owner that he should expand to take
advantage of the new freedom that gay men now had.  He was reluctant, but I
told him that I would find the money to expand, but only if I became part
owner.  We agreed how much the place was worth and how much more I'd have
to put into it.  After talking with the owners of the rest of the block, we
struck a deal.  Construction took less than three months.  With the added
revenue, we agreed to refurbish the older part of the sex club.  This place
has turned into a gold mine and I'm the majority owner at 75%."

	"You've done very well for yourself," Ford congratulated him.

	"And are you married now?" I asked.

	"I've had a string of boyfriends, but none of them stayed around.
They couldn't deal with my need to fuck around all the time.  So, it never
worked out," Jack sighed.  By now, the three of us were standing in a
circle outside of the shower room, drying off.  Would you like to come back
to my private quarters and get to know me again?" Jack asked with a leer in
his eyes.

	Ford glanced at me and smiled.  I eagerly agreed.  Jack guided us
to the left side of the facility and through an electronically controlled
door.  After he entered the code, we strode through into a beautiful
apartment.  The living space was large with a compact kitchen to one side.
Toward the back was the spacious bedroom and attached bathroom.  The
California King bed was massive.  Jack evidently entertained more than one
man at a time when he had the chance.

	We tossed our towels onto a nearby chair and got on the bed.  Jack
immediately raised his legs and pulled them into his chest.  "I want both
of you to fuck me to death, but one at a time, please.  Even I can't take
two monster dicks like you guys have."

	"You do remember that both of us nutt big loads, right?" Ford
queried.

	"I was hoping that hadn't changed.  And both of you still like to
felch loads?" Jack countered.

	We nodded hungrily.  "And you enjoy some of the same thing, too," I
smiled.

	Jack nodded enthusiastically.  Ford dove for Jack's asshole and
starting rimming him.  "You've already been serviced this evening," he said
when he withdrew from eating out Jack's butt for a moment.

	"Yeah, but the dicks weren't big enough, although the loads were
good," Jack said.

	I moved around until I had stuffed my hard dick into Jack's mouth.
His oral skills had improved markedly.  Within a minute, I had to pull away
or I'd be drowning him in my cream, instead of breeding him with it.
Moving forward slightly, I sat on his face, making sure that my asshole was
directly over his mouth.  He eagerly licked at my tight pucker and moaned
loudly when he tasted the loads I had inside my love tunnel.  Hungrily, he
lapped, licked, and sucked at my hole.  One particularly loud moan
punctuated the room as Ford penetrating Jack's well-used asshole with
Ford's monster dick.

	Only seconds later, Ford's unmistakable growl signaled that he was
nutting in Jack's ass.  I leaned over and sucked on Jack's dick, but it
wasn't ready to make any deliveries anytime soon.  He didn't recover as
quickly as Ford and I did.

	When Ford pulled out, I was right there to begin felching Jack's
ass.  My dick was almost painfully hard and I wanted to be the next man to
breed Jack's sweet ass.  But, the more I ate Ford's load from Jack's butt,
the closer I got to my own climax.  I pulled away from eating out Jack's
hole, but that didn't cool my need to breed.  In one swift motion, I moved
behind Jack, raised his legs to my shoulders and plugged in.

	At the same time, Ford moved to sit on Jack's face, silencing
Jack's squeals of pleasure.  With his ass firmly on Jack's mouth, Ford bent
over and began licking at my dick as it slithered in and out of Jack's
overloaded asshole.  He was eating his own sperm, but Ford loved nutt, no
matter the source.

	Because I was so close to my nutt when I plugged into Jack's ass,
there was little hope that I'd delay filling Jack up again.  With a
strangled warning, I began unloading my balls again.  Jack groaned with
more pleasure as he felt my dick jerk repeatedly and blast heavy cannonades
of my creamy man juices nearly as deeply as Ford had.  Once more, I was
filling a man's ass to overflowing.  Ford did his best to contain some of
the overflow, but the majority of it dribbled into the sheets.

	A minute later, I pulled out.  Jack turned around and over and
sucked up as much of the cum that had leaked from his ass on to the sheets.
Ford took that as his cue to eat out Jack's ass more directly.  I moved in
front of Jack and offered my cum-streaked dick.  After cleaning up the
biggest puddles of sperm, Jack wrapped his tongue and mouth around my fat
dick and stripped off excess cream.

	We spent several more heavily sexual hours with Jack that evening.
His ass overflowed several times with our bounteous loads.  And we were the
recipients of a couple of his loads, too.  Of course, he was unable to keep
up with our need to breed.  We fucked him at both ends and offered him the
most sperm he'd ever swallowed or been bred by.  He loved it all.  By the
next morning, his ass was a little sore, even though he was reluctant to
admit it.  Jack made it very clear that if we ever wanted to spend another
night breeding him, he was up for it.  "Just name the date and time and
we'll fuck here as long as you can stand it," he promised.

	Ford and I went back to our shared condo and slept most of the next
day.  When we awakened, we fucked as we usually did.  I always loved that
big dick deep in my ass as he made love to me and filled my butt up with
his huge load.  I did my best to repeat his fuck up his hole.  We ate a
late lunch with our condo-mates and asked for the latest news on additional
planet discoveries or directions from the fleet.  Nothing new had been
reported.

	  The newest technology in broadcasting television was the ability
to ask for specific topics to be sent to our specific address.  The
satellite transmission would send all televised stories on that topic to a
memory device within the television.  Up to 64 channels could be shown at
the same time in their own "window" as they called it.  A full spectrum of
over 1000 channels could be monitored for the wanted information.  However,
the user could trim that down to a smaller number if so desired.

	Our condo-mates went out in the late afternoon, so Ford and I
relaxed in the living room and flipped through an enormous number of
channels before finally settling on a nature program.  Our plethora of
flora and fauna never ceased to amaze him.  He was captivated and
enraptured.

	When the program ended, I asked him if he wanted to hit the sex
club again tonight.  He said that he wasn't sure, but we should revisit the
topic later in the evening.  Meanwhile, I asked him if he enjoyed the sling
and that I was thinking of climbing into one of them soon.  He said it
wasn't the most fun he'd ever had, but he did enjoy the different dicks and
the spectrum of men.  However, what he didn't like about it was that some
of the men didn't do much for him and too many of them had small dicks.
"Those damned things poke your ass; they don't fuck it!" he nearly snarled.

	"So, if I were looking for the great time we had when we got
married with all those huge dicks and loads, I'm going to be disappointed
in the sling," I concluded.

	"Very much so," Ford sighed.  "I think I prefer selecting the men I
want to fuck with rather than taking on anyone with a hard dick."

	"You fucked everyone at our wedding reception," I pointed out.

	"And they were selected," he countered.  "And our race consistently
has big dicked men."

	"Touché!" I smiled.  "And I enjoyed every one of them.  Too bad
they aren't here so we could enjoy them again."

	"Some of them are, but they are scattered around the globe," Ford
revealed.

	"Any chance we'll see any of them before we leave?"

	"After we're finished our initial assessment of Earth's reaction,
we can ask for the opportunity to travel.  We'll merely make sure that we
travel to the places where our favorite gay fucks currently reside," Ford
suggested with a wink.

	"And all this chatter about hot sex has me horny again," I offered
with a kiss on his full lips.

	"You're just like the rest of our race: always horny, always ready
to fuck," Ford laughed.  He took me by the hand and led me into our
bedroom.  We slowly undressed each other and renewed our sexual vows.
After a good fuck and breed, we felched each other, and then bred one
another again.  It was time well spent, I concluded.

	When our condo-mates returned in the early evening, they suggested
that we join them at a nearby restaurant.  The eatery was new to us, but
they said it was one of the best in the city.  The cuisine was a fusion of
Italian and French.  From my perspective, I think they missed the point.
Italian is not French, French is not Italian.  They muddied both of them so
badly that it was just a mess.  The presentation was good, but the food was
bland.  Both French and Italian cooking are all about flavor.  Our
condo-mates were disappointed as well.  As it turns out, the restaurant has
a new chef, and she hasn't a clue what she's doing.  If the restaurant
wants to succeed, they'd better get a new chef immediately.

	Back at the condo, the television was turned on and queried about
any new planetary discoveries.  We were surprised to learn that another
Earth-like planet was found at approximately 1472 light years away that
seemed to have an odd atmosphere.  Several theories had been advanced, but
most of the researchers tended to think that the inhabitants had destroyed
themselves or had been attacked by another alien race and had been
decimated.  There was so much carbon, ash, and soot in the air.  A minority
thought that the explanation was more benign, but just as catastrophic.
They postulated that volcanism explained the ash and soot.  Another
suggestion was a giant meteor had smashed into the planet and set global
fires, similar to what happened to the dinosaurs on Earth about 66 million
years ago.

	Ford checked on the massive database of the Alliance to see which
planet Earth observers had found.  The inhabitants of the planet called it
Alperma.  And the reason the atmosphere was so odd was because it had been
attacked by the Hegemony nearly 1500 Earth years ago.  The natives were
given four planetary days to submit to the Hegemony or they'd be
annihilated.  Although the planet wasn't a member of the Alliance, it was
within the general borders of the Alliance.  The Alperma government flashed
an emergency message to the Alliance, but the fleet was too far away to
immediately respond.  They knew that their under-armed space-worthy
vehicles couldn't stand up to the Hegemony, so they relied on their paltry
planetary ground-based defenses.  Their orbiting defense platforms had
already been smashed by the Hegemony.  Their situation was pretty close to
hopeless.

	By the time the Alliance fleet arrived, the Hegemony had begun the
bombardment.  Luckily, the Hegemony hadn't sent enough forces to withstand
the Alliance fleet for more than a few minutes.  The Alliance totally
decimated the Hegemony forces, allowing none to escape.  Unfortunately,
several populated centers of Alperma had been set ablaze with a tremendous
loss of life.  Most of the inhabitants had fled the cities, but too many
remained behind and were killed.  The fires raged for more than 20
planetary days before all were extinguished.

	Earth's observations were seeing the aftermath of that
conflagration about 75 planetary days later.  In real-time, with the elapse
of nearly 1500 years, the atmosphere had cleared and the inhabitants of
Alperma had rebuilt their cities to even better standards than they had
been earlier.  And Alperma had joined the Alliance for the sake of their
future.

	Ford's recitation of the data about Alperma was interrupted by a
message from the Alliance fleet.  Our condo-mate's devices sounded at the
same time as did mine.  A visual message was accompanied by a request for
the most current status of Earth's latest discoveries and attitudes about
life elsewhere.  The visual message told us that the fleet would arrive
within a week.  They would reconnoiter for a day.  Then, the message would
be broadcast.

	WOW!  Was Earth ready for this?
