Union of Two Species

Chapter Two

14.77.58 ticks counting



Jas looked at the computer screen noticing that it was almost 15.00 ticks
in the morning.  He had to open the candy store at 9 tick.  The old Earth
midnight while used didn't conform to Vegan ticks.  Regardless, he had to
open Patty's.  Tomorrow was going to be a long day and he really needed
sleep.  He also needed nutrient to speed his systems to recover from his
recent mind battle.  What little nutrient and plazcohol he had had earlier
was long excised and he was still feeling the sluggishness in his mind.
Shaking his head he ask the Computer to provide a nutrient base that would
help clear his head.

The Computer ticked several times, then in it's monotone voice said, "Jas,
you may now remove the nutrient base from the dispenser.  The base will
provide the correct balance of electrolytes, proteins and carbohydrates to
help your body return to its normal unhealthy state.  You do need to take
more nutrients on a regular basis..."

"Thank you," Jas said, cutting the Computer short.  They had had this
conversation many times.  He looked at the greenish-orange liquid he
removed from the dispenser noticed no smell.  Tipping the plascup he took a
small mouth full and promptly spit it out just missing the screen.  "Holy
Mother of Vega, are you trying to poison me?  This tastes horrible."

"No, Jas, I did not provide you with poison.  You requested the nutrient
base.  You did not specify form or taste.  Would you like to try again?"

"No!"  He sat looking at the blue screen willing the Computer to
self-destruct.

"Then hold your nose and drink it like a good boy."

He did.

It left a bitter sensation at the back of his throat.  Still looking at the
screen Jas gave the Computer a four-finger salute as he settled back in his
chair.  It may have tasted like Vegan bitterpeas but his mind was already
beginning to clear.  He could focus on the many thoughts running through
his mind.

He had had a mind battle with a Goth a non-Native Goth.  His wristband
doesn't provide protection against him.  There had to be files or a
discrepancy with the files.  How could a person be mix species and not be a
native?  How can a Goth be a non-native?  He had to find the solutions.
Everything he had learned from the Master, told him, to proceed would be
dangerous.  But, how dangerous would it be?

"Computer, run your internal scan level-nine."

"Complete, Jas.  All internal sensors and circuitry normal, files normal."

"O.K. Computer, everything is normal."

"Except you Jas."

"Very funny, Computer. Remind me to have you erase your gag file later."

"Yes Jas.  But if you do, I wont be able to give you any one liners."

"Yeah, how about that."

"You're not being funny Jas.  Only trying to lighten your mood."

"Thanks.  Now where was I?  Oh, right.  Computer, are you running in
SafMode?"

"No.  To do that you would have to give the command.  SafMode last used 9
months, 14 days, 6 hours, 17 minutes and 37 ticks and counting.  38, 39,
40..."

"Thank You.  Computer initiate SafMode, Alpha One Alpha Zero Zero Zero.

Tick.

"Computer is now operating in SafMode.  Information being transferred to
the Authority is SafMode Directive 12 with most recent medical information
substituted.  Authority notes that you are now sleeping.

"You are now free of travel the subnet without being seen."

"Hold, please."  Jas leaned back in his chair.  It wasn't often that he
traveled the subnet.  It was very dangerous to do so.  Even sending a
SafMode File was dangerous if the Authority was deep checking.  The only
time that he did was when he contacted his mother.  Has it really been
9-months since he last had contact with her.

She had given him the SafMode program the last time he saw her when his
father, Vega Prime's Governor had travel to Alpha Centauri for another
attempt to end the civil war.  It had failed and another round of battles
begun plunging Vega Prime into the fog of war.  How many young men and
women have died this time around?

The last time he saw his father was a year ago, 15 months, when the Vegan
Council decided that he could not claim Privilege.  To claim Privilege
allowed you to have children.

Vega Prime was a new world, its colonies barely six hundred Earth years
old.  The colonists during the best of times barely eking out an existence.
At times the four cities would clash among themselves for resources.  Minor
disagreements could quickly escalate into open warfare.

But four things united each of the cities together.  First was the odium of
the Goths.  Second, adherence to the common religious values the colonists
brought to Vega Prime during the early years.  Next, their unbridled hatred
for the United Nations Planetary Council, with its taxation and edits, both
held equally unjust in the minds and hearts of the colonist's.  Last, the
acceptance that all inhabitants of Vega Prime were to marry and had
families, large families.  The cities had to have labor.

It was the last pronouncement that got him into trouble with the Vegan
Council along with several thousand others.  He was a homosexual.

It wasn't illegal to be a homosexual.  On Vega it was illegal for a
homosexual to have a family.  The Vegan Council was in violation of the
U.N. Charter.  It was blatantly discriminating against a small portion of
its population.  He was denied Privilege because he was a homosexual.  To
be more exact a male homosexual.  Male homosexuals could not have families
under Council pronouncement.

The Council reasoned that male homosexuals would give birth to more
homosexuals thus limiting the population growth.  Since science had yet to
figure out how it might be possible for men to have children.  Lesbians
were allowed to claim Privilege.  Forget that male homosexuals offspring,
could come from heterosexual marriages and in male offspring in a lesbian
marriage.  These were established and allowable risks to increase the
planets population.

It was the Councils belief, reinforced by religious doctrine, that only
homosexual males caused male homosexuals even though science had long
proven it was wrong.  It was the one remaining curse still held by the
Universal Sobap's.

The Vegan Council would not be moved from this irrational viewpoint.  So
his father followed the law as it is practiced.  Prohibited him from
marrying.  Forbidden his mother, his many brothers and sisters. Cast him
from his home in disgrace he landed at Patty's.

Planet had many dangers.

Sighing, Jas looked at the time on the screen as it flashed seeing it was
approaching one tick in the morning.

"Computer, intersect Authority, Subroutine 372-niner-372-beta."

"Jas, you realize that using that subroutine runs a 83 percent chance that
you will be observed.  Would it not be better to use Subroutine
Kappa-Kappa-42.

"Yes, but 372 gives me direct access to the files that I want to look at.
42 would add several ticks of subnet exposure."

"That is correct.  3.867 ticks, but it would be safer.  It is my directive
to protect you."

"Yes, fine.  Use 42.  When connected scan, locate file matching mind photo
of our non-native mix species."  He hated arguing with the computer.  It
always won.  While he waited he closed his eyes resting and willing his
body to repair and waited for the computer to run its diagnostic.

He was almost asleep when the computer said, "File located and tagged
Classified."

"Open and display."  He smiled as the file appeared on his screen and he
viewed the picture of his attacker followed by a list of sub files.  Mother
of Vega he thought looking at the display.  The Goths long flowing dark
blond hair was lying on the man's shoulders framing a gorgeous face. High
cheekbones.  He had long jaw line.  Perfectly formed lips.  Those deep
emerald eyes drawing him in as he sat looking at the screen.  Again he felt
the rush of hormones as his body began to respond to the sexual attraction.
Jas wanted to slip his 7-tick cock between those lips and give this Goth
something other than blood to drink.

"Jas."  The Computer said breaking the hex.

"Block picture.  Monitor for detection," he said and starting to read the
text.

`Subject: Adam

`Sex: Male

`Born: 14.37.3004.1.23.10 Age: 23

`Parent(s): see file Retrovirus 115.083

`Species: see file Retrovirus 117.287.7

`Place of Birth: Vega City, Vega Prime'

`Habitat: see file Palace 6666

`Education: Level 16

`Station: ****

`Status: see file Council 99376490002.3027

                                       99376490002.3027.1

After Jas scanned the information he had more several questions.  How was
it possible for a native mixed species to be born in the city?  Only human
Vegans are allowed inside.  And what does the Palace got to do with this?
Authority is well aware of `Adam'.  Even the Council knows of him.

"Computer, status, open file Retrovirus 11.083.  Scan, give verbal
synopsis."

"No detection, file opened.  File Scanned.  Subject Adam, female parent
Muheedina Sholoma, Vegan native age 32.  Donated unfertilized egg to
Laboratory 7.  Dated 4.10.3004.12.7.03.  Male parent unknown."

"Computer, continue 42.  Open the file Retrovirus 117.287.7.  Use same
instructions.'

"No detection."  The computer ticked several times.  "Jas?"

"Yes."

"My prime directive has kicked in.  The information contained in this file
is a level 20 the highest security classification.  I cannot open this file
with your security clearance without putting you in danger."

"Who has authority to open this file?"

"Your father."

"My dad.  Shit.  What's going on here?  Hell, the guy's only a Goth."

"Jas, scanning for other file's that can be opened with your clearance...
This is no ordinary Vegan.  It is not understandable why you've been able
to open the files you have.

"How can I continue?" Jas asked, feeling slightly annoyed.

"To proceed you would have to create a virtual father with memories."

"Can I do that?"

"You can't.  I can, if I use your mothers computer.  Her computer should
hold enough memories of your father to create a virtual matrix that should
dupe Authority.  It would take several ticks.  I've never done this before.
But, when your mother gave you the SafMode program she did include her
security clearance.  I'm 99 percent sure that she didn't intend to.  But
it's here.  Should I proceed?"

What am I getting into?  My father, the Authority and the Vegan Council all
involved. Involved with a Goth.  A Goth that I just finished battling.
Just what are they doing?

It was dangerous but I had to know the answers to all my questions.  Let
the Master protect me.

"Yes!"  I counted the ticks.  Seven ticks.

"Virtual matrix complete.  Opening file.  Scanning.  Synopsis: Subject Adam
is a hybrid cross of Vegan female and human father."  The computer tick
several time as I absorbed that piece of information.  "That may explain
why your wristband did not activate.  I had no information that you were in
danger.  However, I can modify my Directive to include this new
information.  I will encrypt so Authority will not see the modification.
However, this means you have to stay close to me so that I can warn you
should you be targeted.

"He he, no more visits to the diner or bar."

"Very funny.  Just open file Palace 6666."

"Opening file.  Scanning.  Synopsis: Subject Adam lives in sublevel 4, room
12 of the Governors Palace.  There is notation of time spent with Vegan
host apparently to learn to focus his psychic abilities.  There is also
notation of success in training."

"Open file Council 99376490002.3027."

 "Opening file.  Scanning."  The computer ticked several times before it
spoke again. "This file had over 10,000 sub-files and more than 100,000
attachments.  Synopsis: Subject Adam.  A weapon created to clone an army to
be used against the U.N. Planetary Council forces.  Adam has enhanced
ability to survive direct sun light!"

My face drain of blood like it would if a Vegan was sucking me dry.  A
weapon created by our scientists to use against the U.N.  Adam was almost
the ultimate weapon.  As a weapon he could paralyze by mind thought and
drink blood.  Cloned, thousands could march across the galaxy wiping out
entire civilizations.  But would the Vegan Council stop at a few thousand
Adams?'  I took a deep breath and ask the computer to open the last file.

"Opening file.  Scanning.  Synopsis: Subject Adam escaped from Laboratory
7.  Last seen in Sector 13, Part 37.908.  Considered dangerous.  Capture
alive.  Jas?"

"I know. I know.  That's my address.  What am I going to do?  Were there
any sweeps?"

"No detected sweeps.  And what you are going to do is pack.  As you do that
I will download into the wristband.  Once done this station will be
destroyed.  Patty wont be every happy but what's a computer to do.  All
traces of subnet travel being erased.  When I get done with my circuitry
there wont be anything to work with.

"Jas, you now process information that endangers you.  I wont let anything
to happen to you.  Not if I can prevent it."

I let out a weak sigh, "Sound like a good idea.  And while you're at it
figure out a way for me to disappear off Vega Prime."
