"Stop," said Sam, pinning his arms. He was stronger, but the pain helped reason with him.
"Why, Sam, why?" Dunlop asked, feeling incredibly betrayed. "I didn't sense an alien presence."
"No, you didn't," Sam said triumphantly.
"And I didn't sense anything altered with you."
"That's also true," said Sam. She got up and walked to the metal black box by her bed, and opened it. Inside was the rider, just as it had been every morning for the past seven days.
Dunlop's eyes widened when he saw the rider. "No, Sam!" he cried.
But for Sam, it was purely instinct, merely repeating what she had done endless times before. It was so automatic, there wasn't even time to think. Dunlop 4 watched as Sam put her hand into the box, and the rider climbed up, slowly making its way up her arm, to her back.
"Why, Sam, why?" he cried.
"You will have your answer in a moment," she said. When the rider settled on her back, Sam's posture changed, and she gave Dunlop a cold, calculating smile.
"We have you at something of a disadvantage, Dunlop," she said, sitting on the bed. She started to pet his leg, even as he shrank back slightly.
"You were created shortly after the conflict with the Hive Mind began. You never learned how we took Dunlop, or Dunlop 1, or Dunlop 2, or all the other Dunlops, because you were cloned before we took them. You never knew that some of us, like our worms, were undetectable to your mind probes. By the time one of your clones discovered this, it was always too late. We, on the other hand, pass down genetic memory. We knew exactly how to defeat you. We knew that all we needed was to find someone you cared about, and use her to get to you."
"No," said Dunlop.
"Yes," said Sam. Her hand strayed to his penis. "We haven't felt this inside of us for many centuries. It was very refreshing. But soon you will be trained to use it in ways that serve the Hive."
"No. I nor any part of me will ever serve you," said Dunlop.
"That's what all the other Dunlops said, before their training began," said Sam. She smiled and left the bedroom. When she returned, it was with another black box. "Something else we learned; that your powers can't sense us through layers of certain metals." She opened the box.
A black spider jumped up.
"No," said Dunlop, jumping out of bed.
"Don't be alarmed," said Sam. "It's just a small amount of introductory programming. We don't want to alter you in any substantial way."
"Get that thing away from me!" said Dunlop 4. Suddenly, he grabbed his penis and yelled in pain. The head of his penis, which contained the greatest nerve endings in his body, felt like it was being flayed piece by piece.
He collapsed on the bed, grabbing his penis, sobbing in pain.
The spider jumped on the bed.
Dunlop 4, still in extreme pain, grabbed one arm to ward it off. Sam got behind him and twisted his arm behind his back. Dunlop, distracted by the pain, was not able to fight her effectively.
"Don't resist," said Sam. "You're only making it worse on yourself. It will soon be over."
The spider jumped on Dunlop's back. Dunlop thrashed back and forth, trying to dislodge it. The spider jumped on the back of his head, and then slowly sank its microfiber tendrils into his brain.
Dunlop cried out, and immediately went rigid. Sam saw his eyes roll up into his head, and the characteristic fluttering of his eyelids. She smiled, releasing him, patting his ass, and sat down to wait.
It took nearly two hours. But Sam was patient. Her rider filled her mind with blankness until she was ready.
And then the spider pulled out, and Dunlop opened his eyes.
"Sirena!" he said, grabbing Sam. "I thought you were dead!"
"I was never dead, my love," said Sam, hugging him back.
"Sirena, how I missed you!" Dunlop cried. And then he proceeded to make wild and passionate love to her. Sam did not resist. On the contrary she participated, eagerly. And when it was done and Dunlop cried out, pulsing into her twice as strongly as he had done earlier that night, Sam gave a secret smile.
Afterwards, when they were lying together, Dunlop said. "What has happened?"
"The Hive Mind took me, my love. And now they have begun to take you. They say they will kill me unless you cooperate."
"Sirena, I will never let them hurt you!" said Dunlop, holding her in his arms
"Then you must cooperate with them," said Sam, giving him a kiss. Dunlop looked uncertain. "Do it for me. Do it so I will never lose you again!"
"What must I do?"
"Not much. Surprisingly little," said Sam. "Simply come back to me tomorrow, and accept another worm."
"Another worm?"
"If you do not return, you will never see me again," said Sam.
Dunlop nodded, slowly getting up. He began to dress. "Why do they not seek to put a rider on me immediately?"
"They want to test your obedience quotient," said Sam. "When you return to the Stellar Union, they want to know if you can be trusted to do so without a rider, which would be detectible to others."
Sam looked at Dunlop and could almost read his mind. She knew what he was thinking. He would cooperate, and then try to fool them into thinking he would obey. Then he would fight back.
Good, let him think that. That's what the other Dunlops believed as well.
She kissed him goodbye and watched him leave.
"You have done well, Sam," said Sam, after breakfast.
"What did your spider do to him?" Sam asked.
"Very little. We have encouraged him not to resist. And of course, we have now convinced him that you are Sirena. He was madly in love with her for centuries. He will do anything to keep you safe."
"What are your plans for him?" Sam asked.
"You will see. I must say, I was very pleased by how obediently you followed the plan, even without your rider," Sam said.
"That's because I am part of the Hive Mind," said Sam.
"I'm glad to finally hear you say that," said Sam. "But didn't you have any qualms about betraying your friend. Your last friend?"
"No," said Sam. "My only allegiance is to the Hive."
"Then you are correct. You are truly part of the Hive Mind now," said Sam.
Sam nodded slowly, and felt the mass of the three ringed rider on her back. "I guess I am."
The conflict within her had finally ended.
********
Dunlop returned that evening, and he was all over her, hugging and kissing her feverishly. They made passionate love again, and he cried out with pleasure and pain as he ejaculated wildly into her.
"I thought I had lost you, Sirena," said Dunlop, as they lay in bed. "I had to come back to make sure I was not dreaming."
"You haven't been, my love," Sam smiled. She lay on her side, facing him. Sam saw him looking at the rider on her back, and he frowned.
"This is all part of me, my love, and you must either love all of me, or none at all," said Sam, looking into his eyes. Dunlop's eyes were full of love, but also confusion.
"Just as I love all of you," said Sam, tracing the lines of the worm wrapped around the head of his penis. "And now comes the thing which must be done." She reached over and took a jar of worms out of her nightstand. Dunlop watched the jar being raised without flinching or crying out. Good.
She took one out and then said, "Turn over, my dear."
"But, Sirena-"
"Turn over," she said.
Dunlop, looking very conflicted, obeyed.
Sam smiled and dropped the worm on his back. He cried out, more in revulsion, as the worm made his way to his shoulder blades.
Dunlop turned over to face her. "I was not meant for this."
Sam kissed him passionately. "You were meant for this. All the Dunlops were. You just don't know it yet." And then, to ease the pain of what she had done, they made love again.
********
The next evening, Dunlop showed less resistance when she put the third worm on his back.
Sam kissed him."Actually, it is quite right." She leaned close. "Momomomom."
"No, Sirena."
But she was insistent, moving her head even closer. "Momomomom," she said, staring into his eyes.
"Momomom... no," Dunlop cried.
"You will, " said Sam. "You will."
********
When it came time for Dunlop to get his final worm, Sam insisted that he put it on himself.
"Why?" said Dunlop, looking at the worm in her hand.
"To test your obedience quotient," said Sam. She looked at him. "It's either put it on, or this is our last night together."
Dunlop looking unhappy, lifted the worm, and looked at it. Then he made a pained face as he dropped it on his back.
Sam gave him a congratulatory kiss. "Now go to sleep in my arms, my love, and when you wake up, you will have a wonderful surprise."
Despite what he had done to himself, Dunlop found himself able to fall asleep quickly in Sam's arms. She was like a natural pacifier.
When they woke in the morning, still naked, Sam pulled him out of bed and led him to the bathroom mirror. And then Dunlop saw the rider that had formed.
"Your very first rider," said Sam, hugging him excitedly. "Now we can have our first communing."
"Communing?"
In moments Dunlop 4 and Sam were back to back. Sam leaned backwards so that her large, heavy rider could touch Dunlop's small, newborn one. When they made contact, they immediately felt a sexual explosion in their minds and bodies.
"Momomomom," said Sam.
"Momomomomom," said Dunlop.
" Mamoonishom Mamoonishom," said Sam
" Mamoonishom Momomomomom Mamoonishom, Mamoonishom," said Dunlop.
Sam smiled as her nipples got hard, and she and Dunlop spent two hours in pure bliss, rocking on their asses as they experienced orgasm after orgasm.
********
After that, Dunlop's resistance collapsed entirely. He communed with Sam and had sex with her daily, even though he knew full well that it was only strengthening his rider. He agreed to always being on top, even though he knew the greater exertion would make his rider grow faster.
But he was addicted to Sam's smiles. Sirena's smiles. In his programmed mind, it was one and the same.
One day, when they stripped each other nude, Dunlop frowned as he saw something odd around Sam's vagina. There seem to be tiny tentacles coming out of Sam's vaginal opening.
"What is this?" he asked.
"An organic container," said Sam, grinning at him.
"What is its purpose?"
"The Hive wants a sample of your sperm," she said, pulling him to bed.
"No, Sirena," Dunlop protested weakly, even as Sam mounted his penis. "They could use that for malign purposes."
"You serve the Hive now, my love," said Sam. "We all do." She thrust up and down faster and faster. Dunlop, who was hypnotized by her beauty, could not resist. The creature inside Sam was slick and smooth, and made Sam's vagina even tighter, and before long Dunlop found himself climaxing. He shuddered, grasping Sam's shoulders as he ejaculated into her helplessly.
Sam smiled at him and touched his hair approvingly. "What good boy."
And then Dunlop watched, horrified, as Sam spread her legs, and the creature emerged from her vagina. It looked like a little squid, and it scuttled around on little legs, off the bed, into Sam's black bag.
********
Dunlop continued communing and having sex with Sam. In his mind she was still Sirena. He simply couldn't resist.
Four days later, Dunlop got his first rider. Then Sam felt he was ready for his first assignment: To Infect someone. Anyone.
"But that is contrary to my existing programming," he protested. "My very reason for being."
"You have new programming, and a new reason for being," Sam smiled, as she finished dressing him. "If you want to see me again, go out and Infect someone."
It was his first big test. There was no need to accompany him; his rider would report what had happened.
When he came back the first night, and nodded, Sam smiled and hugged him.
"It was easier than I thought it would be," said Dunlop.
"And it will only get easier from now on," said Sam. "From now on, you will Infect at least two people a day."
"Two?" said Dunlop.
"I love you so much," said Sam, hugging him tightly, as she rocked back and forth on her heels.
********
"You have done well, Sam," said Sam, looking into her bathroom mirror.
After a few days of Infecting people for the Hive, Dunlop was now on a long term assignment, doing something important. He had been thoroughly broken, just as Sam had broken Jack, Janice, and countless others.
"Thank you," said Sam.
"And now it is time for you to enjoy your reward. The one thing you have always asked wanted," said Sam.
"You mean... you're going to let me have a baby? With Jack?"
"Yes," said Sam. "The two of you have proven genetically compatible. You have been permission to reproduce."
"Oh, that's incredible!" said Sam, jumping up and down.
"Just be aware that the road ahead is not easy," Sam said. "There are certain... sacrifices you and Jack must make. Certain preparations."
"I don't care, as long as we're together and having a child," said Sam.
She immediately drove over to Jack's place to tell her the news. Jack was excited to see her. It had been several weeks since they had been together, and when she told him they were going to have a child, he hugged and kissed her repeatedly. And then he started dragging her to the bedroom. "Let's start right now!" he declared.
"No, Jack!" Sam said, pleased with his enthusiasm. "It's not that simple. We have to be prepared first."
"Prepared?"
Sam held up her black bag.
"Oh no. Not again."
"It's the only way, if we want to have a child with the permission of the Hive." She stared him in the eye. "Lie down, Jack."
Jack looked indecisive for a moment. Then he nodded and lay down.
In moments a black spider was climbing onto his head. Sam sat with him and held his hand while the programming took place.
When Jack woke up, he saw Sam, lying next to him, her eyelids fluttering, as the same spider worked on her head. When it was done, Sam sat up.
"You too?" Jack said.
"We both have to be prepared," said Sam.
She took him in her air car to the cave. She knew it would be a shock for Jack. After they disrobed, they entered the green lit grotto of the Hive Mind. The first things they heard were the screams of people being altered. Sam reached out and grabbed Jack's hand tightly.
Jack saw it all; the giant malevolent eyes of the Hive Mind, staring down at them; the people strapped down, having their brains dissolved or reprogrammed; people having insect parts added to their bodies; harem guards which were part human, part insect; and the people slowly being absorbed by the Hive Mind's external stomach. Jack looked stunned.
But then Melinda was suddenly in front of them, and something new grabbed Jack's attention. He stared at the stunning black haired beauty. Melinda's breasts were proud and firm, and her nipples were erect, earning her Jack's undivided attention.
Melinda saw where he was looking and smiled. "Welcome back, Samantha," She said, and she reached forward, giving Sam an unhurried kiss. Then she turned to Jack. "And you must be the valiant Colonel Sullivan."
"Jack," Jack mumbled, abashed by her sheer beauty.
"What?" said Melinda.
"He wants you to call you Jack. He likes you," said Sam.
"No, I don't," said Jack.
Sam kicked him.
"No more than in a friendly way," said Jack.
Melinda smiled, seeing the rapport between the two. She saw how easily it could be used to the Hive's advantage. "You are here to be prepared, are you not?"
&n
bsp; "We are," Sam said quickly, before Jack could answer.
"Then who would like to go first?"
"Me," said Sam again. Jack's alterations would be hard enough. Better to leave that for the end.
"Very good," said Melinda. She indicated a harem guard. "Janice can show you to the alteration chamber."
"Janice?" said Sam, looking at the harem guard. It has an insect exoskeleton welded to its face, and black insect shells over its arms and legs, but the body and chest were still human flesh. Sam looked at the breasts. It looked like Janice's titties....
"Janice?" said Sam again, stepping closer trying to see into her eyes through the mask. Her eyes looked blank.
"Momomomomom," said Janice. It was her voice!
"Do you know her?" Melinda asked.
"This is, or was, Doctor Janice Whistler," said Sam, tears in her eyes. "She was my friend. She was Infecting people at HomePlanet Security. Why did they do this to her?"
"Well, HomePlanet Security is now entirely in our hands," said Melinda. "I imagine the Hive Found a better use for her."
"Janice?" Sam asked, peering into the mask.
"Momomomomomom," said Janice.
"How long as she been here?" Sam asked.
"About a week."
About a week. Probably not long after Sam saw her last. After she cried out her anguish about bringing her parents to the cave. That was the last time Sam ever saw her.
"Isn't there anything left of her?" Sam cried. She grabbed Janice's human shoulders.
"Momomomomomomom," said Janice, pushing Sam's arms away.
"Better not to touch her like that," said Melinda. She put an arm around Sam. "Harem guards have their existing brains wiped clean, and a Hive stamp put into its place. I assure you, she has no idea who you are."
"Janice," Sam wailed, one last time.
"Come," said Melinda. "I'll take you to the preparation chamber myself."
Sam tried to pull herself back together. She knew she needed to focus on the task at hand. And soon Jack would need her to be strong. She drove all thoughts of Janice out of her mind.
