He asked, “Do you have a moment to talk, about a possible opportunity?”
She felt her anger rise, she remembered the last guy to offer her an ‘opportunity’ but she was brought up short by his bearing. His eyes hadn’t left her face once, most guys usually even didn’t notice she had one.
“Alright, I have a little time,” she said softening up a bit.
He smiled and asked, “Coffee?”
She nodded and followed him to a café a block away. She wondered what the hell she was doing, but really, outside of sex she’d do almost anything to get a job in her field. She loved her chosen field of study; she just hated all the pigs that held the keys to good jobs.
Twenty minutes later she sat there confused, sipping at her coffee.
“You’re telling me it’s a top secret and extremely important, so advanced you can’t even give me a clue before I say yes?”
He nodded, “And once you say yes you can’t change your mind. Well, I suppose you could change your mind, but you’d have to agree to never talk about what you saw, learned, and accomplished.”
She asked, “Is this for the military?”
He shook his head, “No, not exactly. All I can promise you it’s so cutting edge you’ve never seen anything like it.”
She asked, “Why me?”
He froze for a second, which made her suspicious. But then he was so bluntly honest she couldn’t doubt it.
“If you do this you’ll be sequestered for quite a long time, we chose you because you aren’t involved in any other projects, you live alone, and you’re brilliant.”
Oh god, she was going to say yes. Was she really that desperate to go back to being a lab geek? Yes, yes she was…

Dr. Paula Rodriguez shook her head in disgust as she walked out of the meeting. She was completely broke and had nowhere to go. She had patents for a rail gun that actually worked, a system she’d worked on by herself since she’d gotten her doctorate a few years back. She’d been trying to sell it to a few government contractors in order to get one built since she’d given up on getting a contract with the government itself, but so far no luck at all.
Well that wasn’t entirely true; a couple had offered her almost nothing if she would license it to them, for a measly two percent of the profits. They also wouldn’t hire her on to supervise it. It was quite obvious they would sandbag it until the patent ran out before any problems were miraculously worked out.
They all said the same thing, but what it came down to is no one wanted to let her in. She knew what the problem was of course, she didn’t have a dick. All she had was a good product, no slush fund for the politicians, no inroad to the good old boy’s club. She was also in her early thirties and had worked hard all her life to get to this point, only to be blocked. She had sacrificed so much, including finding a good man and a family.
She was from a very large family in Mexico and her mother had been bugging her for years to find a husband. Past that though deep down she wanted the same thing, she’d loved her large family. And at her age, the time for it was running out. She thought she was still attractive with her flawless light dusky skin, big brown eyes, and dark brown flowing hair. She was just five foot one but her personality was bigger than that.
More often than not though, that just got her in trouble, she wasn’t one to take shit from anyone, and she wondered for the hundredth time this month if she was wasting her time. It didn’t matter that her weapon was more advanced than anything else out there; the government was just too corrupt to care.
She got on the bus to ride across town and sat in an empty row.
“Do you mind if I sit down?”
She looked up and frowned, “There are plenty of empty seats,” she said with a little attitude that usually chased men off. Although she almost regretted her harsh words, this one was cute and hadn’t even tried to look down her shirt yet.
He replied, “I’m sorry, I’d like to talk to you about a possible job?”
She frowned and considered that for a moment. It couldn’t hurt to listen she supposed, and the bus always bored her to tears.
“Take a seat…”

Fucking salesmen trespassers, “Not interested, get off my land before I shoot your sorry ass!”
Dr. Nathaniel Atwell, or Nate to his friends who were all pretty much dead, was retired. He also had a shotgun, the damn thing almost tore out of his hands when he gave that warning shot, he wasn’t a young man anymore at the age of seventy.
He’d been a player in his day, and eventually settled down with a wonderful woman for forty years. His kids were grown and his wife had passed two years ago, he had no patience dealing with other people. He couldn’t imagine what this kid wanted, though he had the bearing of a military man if he had to guess. He himself was in the navy and had a hand in many of the system designs for nuclear subs.
All he was doing now really was waiting to die, and enjoying threatening to shoot people that got to close. He hated people. Or at least, he did now.
The guy shook his head, “Dr. Atwell, I’m not a salesman. I’m here to ask for your help. The world needs you.”
He snorted and yelled back, “What the hell for? Buckshot in the ass?”
The guy answered, “I’m Kris, formerly Sgt. Kris Miller. We need help with something you’re familiar with, but I can’t really go into details. Suffice it to say it’s power distribution and enhancement.”
He thought for a second, why the hell would they want a seventy year old hermit for that?
Kris asked, “Can I come forward sir?”
“Oh hell, I ain’t no sir. Get up here and call me Nate. But if you try and sell me something or blow smoke up my ass I’ll fill you full of buckshot and dump your lying ass in the well.”
Kris smiled and started walking forward…

Aide sighed in relief, the three of them had been a chore with no scan and they’d finally settled down for the night. She started with the nanites building an interface and repairing their bodies to optimum conditions. For the two women it wouldn’t be all that great a change, she hoped Nate wouldn’t freak out when he woke up looking thirty years younger and feeling in better shape than he probably had at twenty.
She was also done with her other experiment. She looked at the finished product with a certain amount of pride. She had wanted more than just emotions; she wanted the bodily reactions to them as well. She wanted to understand these humans and everything about their lives, and all the conflicting emotions. It was purely biological, except for the specialized interface node in the center of the brain.
She’d literally be in two places at once, inside her AI matrix in Kris’s head, and at the same time, she would be in this body. She ran diagnostics and then set up all connections…
She squinted her eyes even though the light wasn’t harsh. Things looked so different being restricted to certain wavelengths. She stood up and looked in the mirror, her emotions thrummed through the body, and she realized what she’d felt had only been a pale shadow of it. Her heartbeat sped up and she diagnosed an adrenalin surge, but that was nothing to how she felt.
She had porcelain skin and a heart shaped face. Her eyes were a deep blue, almost sapphire, and her long strawberry blonde hair was down her back despite how curly it was. She had average breasts for a woman of five foot five. She touched her face, and then ran her fingers down the silky soft skin of her arms. It was something so alien to her she gasped at the feeling and her heartbeat sped up.
She thought she should go confess what she’d been up to; it would be nice to see them all with her new body. The firewall the other day seemed to help, and she was happy to realize that although she was very fond of Kris, she no longer possessed the stolen love from her deep study of Stacey’s life. She thought of him as a close friend, companion, and even fellow soldier.
It was quite a relief, because she knew from Stacey’s memories s
he would never share him, ever. She was quite sure he wouldn’t be interested either for much the same reason. Before she left to go speak to them, out of curiosity she brushed her nipple lightly.
She gasped as a sharp feeling of pleasure shot straight from her nipple down below as her nipple tightened. She ran her fingers around the nipple, and then did the same on the other side. It felt amazing. She knew she should stop, but she was too curious, and her breathing was speeding up. She also noted her pupils had slightly dilated and she was growing moist between her legs.
Maybe saying hello in person could wait. She reached down curiously between her legs. She gasped and her eyes closed as she brushed the wet heat below. Yes… it could most definitely wait, but she decided she should go to her quarters first, she also sent commands to the nanites to make a couple of the toys she’d seen in Stacey’s mind.
After all, it was an experiment and she needed to be quite thorough…
Chapter 10
Stacey woke up on her side and smiled softly. She was a little jealous at first of how beautiful both Paula and Olivia were, but Kris seemed completely oblivious of the fact. She didn’t catch him checking them out once, and by the end of the evening she noticed he got a certain look in his eyes only when he looked at her.
She worried a little of course, things were new and they were in their honeymoon phase. It’d only been two days since he was back. But she felt a lot more confident about things. She smiled naughtily, he really did deserve a reward for being so attentive last night. She wiggled out of his sleeping grip and shimmied down underneath the covers.
---------
He woke with a gasp and looked down. There was a rather large bulge underneath the blanket and he could see her head bobbing up and down as he felt the heavenly warmth and heat of Stacey’s talented mouth and throat. He wanted to watch, so threw back the covers. He groaned when she locked her eyes with his and winked.
She had a naughty look in her eye and she looked as if there wasn’t any where else she’d rather be than between his legs. She looked so sexy and beautiful as he slowly disappeared into her velvety mouth. He was on the verge of exploding and she backed off and started to lick his shaft and balls. Only after the feeling had subsided a little did she take him in her mouth again, teasingly holding him on the edge.
He wasn’t sure how much more teasing he could handle and let out a soft growl.
----------
She wasn’t sure what had gotten into her, but she didn’t want to stop. She kept teasing him while greedily licking off and swallowing another surge of precum from his tip. She was lost in an erotic haze as she kept him on the edge. When he growled it went straight to her core. If her mouth wasn’t so full she’d have smiled, instead she teasingly slowed down even further.
She gasped as he reached down and grabbed her roughly by the hair. She wasn’t scared at all, in fact a thrill went through her at his rough handling as he pulled her up on her knees and pushed her head into the pillow. She couldn’t move at all and felt her core tighten, a moan of excitement and pleasure was muffled by the pillow as she felt his hard length against her wet silken heaven.
She gasped in both pain and pleasure as he pulled her head back by her hair as he buried himself inside her in one fast hard stroke. She felt so hot, so desirable, and submissive as he took her hard and fast from behind.
Harder, faster.
She didn’t think she’d said it out loud, but he started pounding into her even faster now and she let out a breathy gasp as he spanked her firmly on her ass. The sting of the pain radiated straight to her core and she felt her body coil tighter as she locked down on his invader with her silken sheath.
“God yes, Kris” she said in a loud gasp and gave herself over to the pleasure as the tight coil burst into a thousand pieces as pleasure wracked her body. Nothing else existed but pleasure and the feel of him continuing to push into her tight soft body over and over.
She heard him grunt and felt him expand within her. She gasped as he spanked her again and she was beyond excited by driving him to such a powerful and animalistic release. She was completely his and all of that together rolled her into an even more intense orgasm as her body reached rapturous pleasure.
She sighed softly, utterly satiated for now as she came down from her orgasmic bliss.
Kris growled, “You shouldn’t tease me. Did I hurt you?”
She giggled and looked up at his worried and confused face, “No love, and if that’s your response I’ll be teasing you a lot more in the future.”
He snorted and spanked her playfully again.
She was content as he held her for a while, but they would have a busy day today she knew. He needed to get to know the bridge interfaces, and they had three scientists to help Aide herd. Reluctantly she suggested they take a shower.
---------
Aide paced nervously in front of their cabin. She was being ridiculous, but she felt the doubt and fear of rejection. What if they don’t like her? Pure idiocy, she felt a surge of self disgust and froze. She studied the emotion that fascinated her for some reason. She finally reached up and hit the pad to let them know she was out here.
She looked down again at the skintight suit. It was a ship suit that covered everything, had its own internal shielding and atmosphere generator. It would also deploy a head covering in case of an air pressure drop. The thing was, it might have covered everything but it left nothing for the imagination. She was rather… body shy with it being her first full day.
The door opened and Stacey’s mouth dropped open.
“Who are you?”
The strangest thing happened, her emotions settled at hearing Stacey’s voice. It was pleasant sounding. There was also a pleasant scent, she’d obviously just showered.
“It’s me. This is what I’ve been working on for my own private project. What do you think?” she asked in her trademark bedroom voice as she gestured at herself. There was no doubting who it was.
Stacey looked her up and down, “You look fantastic,” her voice was still a little shocked.
Aide blushed, “Thanks, there are suits like this for everyone else too. It’s important for safety to wear them, though they are tight enough to wear something else on top of it if you wanted…”
Stacey grinned, “No, I think I’m going to like Kris’s reaction when I’m in one of those. Why don’t you come in and join us for breakfast?”
Aide asked, “You sure that’s okay?”
Stacey shrugged and tapped her temple, “You’re already here right, of course it’s okay,” and moved out of the way.
Aide came in and sat at the table.
Kris came out of the bedroom in one of the suits and stared at Aide for a few seconds.
“Aide?”
Aide grinned, “How’d you know?”
He grinned back, “I can feel how nervous you are in my head, or at least I’m getting the backwash of it. I was afraid it was something bad.”
They sat down and enjoyed breakfast. Aide felt relieved, she’d grown fond of them over the last couple of days. It was hard not to. For a human it was a short time, but two days for an AI was almost an eternity, not to mention she knew everything about them there was to know.
She’d done a detailed scan, but only a cursory scan of the three scientists already this morning. The idea of someone going through her mind, now that she had this body, was disturbing to her. But she had to at least do that much to satisfy her protocols. At the same time, she’d downloaded all the technical knowledge, except the security protocols of course, that they’d all need to try and improve the three technologies they were focused on.
They’d all have a busy day…

General Bill Nells was in a bad mood. He hated to fly, but he had no choice. He had to come to give the president and joint chiefs a report in person. After everything that happened he was sure their secure network was anything but secure to the alien presence. He wasn’t sure what
good it was though just to keep it off the air, he was certain it wasn’t any safer in their highly guarded computer network that wasn’t hooked up externally to anything else.
The latest information was even more disturbing in his opinion, but he couldn’t understand why aliens would even care about those people. After multiple security checks and high tech scans for bugs, which he was pretty sure were worthless, he made it to the staff room to give his report. He reordered his thoughts and focused on what they did know while he waited to be called upon.
The president said with a smile, “Bill, good to see you again, let’s see what you have.”
Bill went over everything. He started with the initial sighting of the object that appeared to be from outside the solar system. Next he explained how that the object, along with a retired soldier living nearby had disappeared. He explained how the satellite was duped, their changed photographs, and other bizarre events without any fingerprint or identifiable hacking attempts such as the failed bug and the burned out CPU for the car.
He talked about their attempt to apprehend Sgt. Kris Miller and subsequently their first look at a genuine UFO, and worse, how it disappeared without a trace. The room grew too quiet and seemed to fill with a nervous energy as he finished.
The president asked, “So, what do you believe the aliens want?”
He answered, “I’m not sure sir, but after the UFO disappeared right in front of our soldier’s eyes. I’m still not sure if it was some kind of cloak, or if it simply moved to fast for us to see. Kris Miller has been seen two more times, caught on CCTV camera’s in Los Angeles and New York all within an hour or two of each other. In both cases he talked to PHD’s in physics and shortly after both of these people disappeared, one of whom which has been trying to sell weapons to the government for a couple of years.
“My analysts said her designs are brilliant, cutting edge, and better than most of the contractors that we give billions to every year. I can’t speculate on to why they have them, but obviously they need them for something. Short of capturing one of them and questioning them about why sir, I believe we are stuck in the dark…” he trailed off.
