The tribe, under Chief Lone Tree has integrated in with the Family as much as they feel like they want.

The skypatrols have been removing the truly bad from each migration of landbridgers and things are looking up. Lori is still the first lady of innovation and, shudder, Jo is still Chief of the Family. Why does Cheese shudder? you ask. She has yet to take her revenge against the Family for voting her Chief! No one goes to sleep before she does!

Oh! Big announcement here. Lone Tree lost his wife to Kurt (she loves his big dick) so Carol and the Chief have become a couple...no wait...Auntie Beck is part of that (we have got to quit calling her Auntie. She's 74 real years old now but Two Voices "regressed" her so she looks 21...a really, really, really, GOOD 21.)

Last year Gran called the Family together and told us, "I've had a very good life although I never expected this." She passed her hand over the crowd, "It's time I came clean." She looked at her daughter, "Carol, my name is Lily Litvioshk. I am Russian from the Ukraine. I've had more adventure in my life, you can't imagine. I was a fighter pilot. I flew La-5, Yak-3 and LaGG-3 fighters in The Great Patriotic War against the Germans and Finns ... Sexism in the V-VS was high initially, male pilots refused to fly with us as "wingmen", or fly airplanes that had been repaired or serviced by women mechanics and ground crew. But the demonstrated, and often superior, courage and great skill of we female pilots and mechanics proved our better than average competence to fulfill our duty. In 1943, after 11 kills, the Bureau decided I needed to be "less noticed" and arranged for me to be missing, presumed dead. With a new name, I continued to fly until the very end of the war. All told, I had 52 kills. I was shot down 13 times over Russia and Germany. The last time I managed to glide to the American lines. I sought asylum and ended up in the US with yet another name. Honored as a Hero of the Soviet Union after the war, I was hunted by the KGB as a traitor: This has been more exciting than that." She told us she was old enough and died... while we were watching. Very weird. Two Voices was shocked.

Oh while I'm at it, remember when Two Voices SHE decided to fuck the Cheese? Yup. She took! The combination is pretty strange but very human...and very Lorified. This is going to be one amazing kid. Two Voices HE is jealous and wants one of his own. As soon as Jo whispered a "promise secret" about HIS variable size dick, there's been a multitude of volunteers but no cigar yet.

Life in the other groups isn't as comfortable as it is here. There's more outside people to deal with but the babies over there are all in contact with Lori. Now that I know how to do it, I am too. The Cheese is good at it and so is Jo. I'm beginning to see the real damage society has done. Now, we know, "being different is a good thing. The ability to work with your mind is a good thing. To know when your neighbor is going to go crazy and start killing is a good thing. People are happier with a less structured life and that's a good thing. Lori and the babies have the ability to read in the womb and they know how to fix the bad before it starts and that's a good thing too. Our children are perfect and that's a good thing!"

The biggest danger we have is keeping what we're doing secret from our hometime. The power structure then/there is going to take an enormous hit and you know they're not going to like that one little bit!

The watchers in our hometime have noticed slight changes in religious intolerance...the mid-easterners no longer preach that the west is evil but it's going to take time. Life is looking up. There's a "Church of the Goddess Lori" in San Francisco that's spreading like wildfire. A miracle in the hand is worth two in the bush!
