It could very well be a coincidence that Jacob found the other cyborgs and that he was merely looking at the third level to expand the residential section then found the secret stairwell to level four. Vyken did believe he was genuinely surprised to learn about the three hundred inactivated cyborgs in level three.
Jacob Black had authority over the Enclave, but he had none over cyborgs. Vyken was representing the Cyborg Council on Earth. The inactivated cyborgs in the former cyborg production facility were Vyken’s responsibility, and he could activate and train them as he determined their purpose. He wondered how many other inactive cyborgs were contained at the South American site. Perhaps it was time he found out.
CHAPTER NINE
When the cyborg teams returned to the Enclave with their new recruits, Vyken left Danya to help get them checked in and assigned quarters. He went to see Jacob Black in his office and closed the door behind him. Jacob was sitting at his desk looking at a virtual computer screen. He closed it when Vyken entered and came to stand in front of him.
“I wanted to stop and see you this morning, but I was running a little late,” Vyken told him. “When we went to the lab to activate some of the cyborgs on the third level yesterday, we discovered an exit into the stairwell that led to a fourth lower level.”
Jacob gave him a calculating look and Vyken sensed his heart rhythm increasing. Seconds passed before he finally said, “Yes, I decided to take a look at level three to see how we could renovate for more living space after you move the cyborgs out. I just wanted to get a look at the cyborgs, and I found the stairwell to level four. There are hundreds more down there!”
“Yes, that’s what I came to tell you,” Vyken told him, and the other man seemed to relax a bit. “I have contacted the Cyborg Council to see what they want us to do with them. After what we’ve found here, I need to check on the other cyborg facility to see if it contains inactivated cyborgs as well.”
“Then, what will you do with them all?” Jacob asked. “They were all bred to be killers. We don’t need killers we need rebuilders.”
“They can be reprogrammed for other occupations, and we have the AI that can do in on Starfire,” Vyken explained. “Right now, we will only activate those we need for specific jobs. Cyborg Command may send a ship for the rest that we don’t need and transport them to Phantom where they can live free.”
“And the cyborgs on level three---what will you do with them?”
“We are going to activate most of them work with us here then crew our ship. There are some females in the level four group that we are going to activate for our Enclave mission.” Vyken said. “I know you don’t have the manpower to convert level three to living space. I can have a crew programmed to do that for you.”
“Can you get them to go out and scavenge the materials we need to do that?”
“If that’s what it takes. I gave my word to Admiral Gregor that I would see this through with you. Cyborgs can do a lot more than fight wars,” Vyken reminded. “We are human beings. We have human minds and human feelings as well as onboard computers and enhanced senses.”
“That’s pretty obvious. I’ve seen the way you look at James Hill’s daughter, not that anyone can blame you. She’s certainly attractive.”
“She is my female,” Vyken stated in no uncertain terms.
“Does she know that? Or better, does James know that?”
“They do. Danya has accepted me as her mate,” Vyken stated proudly.
“Well, that certainly was quick,” Jacob commented.
“It is programmed into our genes to recognize our most suitable genetic mate by scent and by our attraction to them,” Vyken explained. “Only they can produce offspring with us.”
“If you turn all those cyborgs loose, are they going to take up with all of the eligible females you bring into the Enclave?” There was an edge of disapproval in that question.
“It’s possible some will, but not all. Some may actually be compatible with the female cyborgs who are among the three thousand. We will move the cyborgs from the third level, and I will have a team clean it.”
“That would be great. As far as I could see, the rooms were all finished---walls painted, floor tiled. What we need is material to partition off the large rooms into bedrooms and sitting areas” Jacob said. “But, if we can even get some beds made and bedding, they will be far better than living in the ruins of the cities.”
“I will see what we can find as we look for people to join your Enclave. Perhaps we can salvage building material from the ruins,” Vyken suggested. “Occasionally, we find a building that’s still intact.”
“Thank you, Commander Dark. I appreciate your keeping me informed,” Jacob said.
Vyken inclined his head instead of a salute and left the Enclave administrator’s office. He was not dissuaded of his belief that Jacob Black had a personal agenda working along with his plans for the Enclave. Vyken had been exposed to anti-cyborg sentiment from time to time during his service to the Federation. Certain things Black had said and changes in his heart rhythms made Vyken think he was hiding something.
It didn’t worry him much. Black only had a staff of twenty and no weapons that would be a threat to his cyborgs. His only concern is that someone might attempt to sabotage the embryo vault or cyborg stasis chambers. He had solved that problem setting a team to guard them.
When Vyken came out of Black’s office, he saw Danya near the entrance talking with her father. The corridor was otherwise empty, so he assumed the latest refugees had been settled into their quarters. Vyken stopped for a moment to communicate with Kydel on activating the female cyborgs on level four. They would awaken fifteen female cyborgs from level four and fifteen more of the males from level three.
Kydel would program two males and two females to perform as medics and Vyken would encode three of them to work with the rescue teams going into the city. He was highly aware that Danya could have taken a bullet instead of him. He would not risk her again in that capacity.
“Vyken,” James Hill smiled at him as he approached. “Danya tells me that you were hurt, today. People were shooting at you? Oh, yeah. I see the holes and the blood on your clothes. Are you, all right?”
“The wounds were minor. My nanites have nearly finished healing them already.”
“I’m not so sure I want my daughter going out there if thugs are shooting at us,” James said.
“She won’t be,” Vyken assured him.
“What do you mean?” Danya protested. “I told you I don’t want to be stuck here while you are out all day.”
“We will be on another mission,” Vyken said. “Kydel is activating more cyborgs, including females. Since you and I got more people to respond and join us, I determined that possibly they felt less threatened by a female. You may help train the females to do the job with each of the three teams.”
“Oh, okay,” Danya agreed, and her father looked relieved. “Then what are we going to do?”
“We will take the shuttle to the other cyborg production facility on this world to see if there are any more cyborgs in stasis at that location,” Vyken said. “You are welcome to come as well, James.”
“No thanks,” he said. “I really hate flying, and I have a lot to do here. I am starting to teach people to read, helping people who have special needs make them known.”
Vyken stopped talking and went into a vacant stare as the ship AI patched through a message from cyborg command.
Commander Dark, this is Chancellor Rexar Falcon we received your message about the thirty-three hundred cyborgs left in stasis at the Chicago Enclave. Are you aware there is another cyborg facility on Earth?
Yes, sir! I am planning to travel to it tomorrow. I want to make sure we set all of the cyborgs free.
Excellent Commander. We will wait to hear back from you before we send transport for them to Phantom.
What if they do not wish to come to Phantom?
Cyborgs in stasis will be transported t
o Phantom. They can choose at that point what they will do from there. Cyborgs that you activate to aid your mission are free to go where they will. There may not be enough resources left on Earth to support high numbers of cyborgs. Once you have inventoried the number of cyborgs in stasis at the other facility, get back to me with the number, and we will send ships for them.
As you wish, Chancellor.
“Vyken, are you okay,” Danya asked, touching his arm.
He blinked and looked down at her. “I’m fine, Star was relaying a message to me from the ship. Are you ready to return to the ship?”
She nodded with a shy smile. “I told Dad that I have accepted you as my mate. He wasn’t surprised. He’s okay with it---probably because you saved our asses and he knows I want to be with you.”
Vyken smiled at her and drew his fingertips down her cheek. He bent down and whispered in her ear, “I’m going to pleasure you in every way I know when I take you back to the ship.”
Danya laughed softly and pressed a quick kiss on the side of his mouth. “Bring it on,” she whispered back.
“Do you wish to return to the ship this night, James?” Vyken asked?
“Thank you, no. I’m have promised to visit some of the new people who just got here. Jacob has given me a room,” he replied with a smile. “If I don’t see you before you leave tomorrow, have a good trip.”
“We will,” said Vyken as he was walking Danya out the door with an arm around her shoulders. His words had had the desired effect on Danya as he could scent her arousal even before they left.
CHAPTER TEN
After being shot while on a routine mission only feet from his female Vyken felt an urgent need to mate with her again. The emotions he was experiencing since he had discovered his connection with Danya were new to him, and some of them had made him very uncomfortable.
As soon as they got to his bedroom, he stripped off her clothes and then his. He had meant to take time with her draw out their lovemaking, but when he picked her up to kiss her she wrapped her legs around his hips, and he slid easily into her wet channel. They both expelled sound of delight as it happened and Vyken kissed her hungrily and deeply, his passion running high.
He cupped her buttocks in his hands and thrust in and out of her intermittently as he kissed her. When their lips finally parted he lay her back on his hands to suckle her nipples, his upper body so strong, he could easily do so.
Danya moaned and cooed, squirming and hugging his cock with her inner walls as he suckled and nipped her until she came hard keening her pleasure heartily. Vyken pulled her back against his chest and claimed her mouth in a long passionate kiss before he rolled them on to the bed with her beneath him.
They lay enjoined kissing and caressing, relishing each other’s bodies. It was not long before Vyken was pounding in and out of her. He took her hands and laced his fingers through hers, holding them against the bed just above her head dominating her in a way that excited her even more. Took her legs from around his hips and pressed her feet into the bed so she could tilt her hips upward rub and her sensitive bud would against his pubic flesh.
She cried out her pleasure and murmured his name as he rammed his cock into her, again and again, his chest rubbing against her taut nipples and squeezing her breasts delightfully.
“Look at me!” Vyken rasped.
Her eyes flew open, and she stared into his. He slowed his strokes, making each one hard, rotating his hips to stimulate her clit with each one. She let out a breathy ‘Oh’ every time, never taking her eyes from his. He kept that pace until she shattered and squeezed him hard and repeatedly inside her until he shattered too and filled her with his seed.
Vyken set her hands free, and she hugged him and stroked the rippling muscles of his back still in the throes of her release enhanced by the nanocybots in his semen bubbling inside her. At least that’s how it felt to her.
“You make me feel so good,” Vyken told her. But it was more than the pleasure of their mating even though it was even more exquisite than the first time. This new emotion welling up inside him was the exact opposite of what he’d felt in the city when he feared she would be damaged by the bullets flying at them.
“I am glad. You made me feel good, too,” she whispered, looking up at him with great tenderness in her eyes.
He seemed in no hurry to separate from her, and she was content to have him there, caressing her face and plying her lips with soft sweet kisses. He couldn’t seem to get enough of her, so he stayed inside her until his erection resurged and took her again. It left them both just as blissful the second time.
Seeing she was tiring after the exertions of the day and of their mating, Vyken carried her into the shower when their mating was finished and washed her from head to toe. Feeling a bit refreshed under the warm water, Danya returned the favor and took special care of his cock as it resurged under her hand as she held it to wash with the soapy sponged.
It was such a perfect phallus, long and thick, beautifully formed. Vyken watched with interest as she knelt before him and set down the sponge. She stroked him with her hands, pushing the suds toward the tip letting the water wash them away. Once he was rinsed, she rubbed her cheek against it lovingly, enjoying the silky warm feel of it. Then she used her lips and tongue up and down his length, eliciting a deep groan from Vyken.
He leaned back against the shower wall as she finally took him into her mouth and began sucking and licking the head. The took him in as deep as she could and worked the rest with her hands. She seemed to be working it out as she went along. It was so enjoyable he gripped her head and thrust gently into her mouth as she took him closer and closer to the summit of pleasure.
Vyken didn’t know how she wanted to take his release, so he relaxed his hold on her head, to let her retreat if she wished. But, to his delight, she didn’t. She took all he had to give her and swallowed it down with just a bit dribbling down her chin on to her chest. The water spray rinsed it off as she looked up at him smiling.
Vyken grinned down at her and bent down to grip her upper arms and lifted her up, hugging her to his chest. “Danya, that was incredible,” he murmured planting kisses all over her face. He hadn’t asked nor had he expected her to pleasure him like that, yet she had done so out of her esteem for him.
“Vyken, Vyken,” she murmured, hugging him around his neck, laying her head on his shoulder.
He gave the command for the shower to stop and start blowing warm air. After a moment he let her down so their fronts could dry then he picked her up in his arms and carried her out to the bed. He set her on her feet, turning back the sheet and gestured for her to get in.
Although Vyken needed very little sleep, he slid in and lay on his side to hold her. He just wanted to feel her body against him and wrap her in his arms. She looked at him sleepily and caressed his cheek with her fingers.
“I can hardly believe we are mates,” she murmured, “or that I feel this much being with you…”
“I have never felt like this with a female before. Never thought I would find my female, though I suspected if I did it would be a natural human,” he said. “Many of our lines are too close to those used to create the female cyborgs.”
“Have you been with many females?”
“Some, but mostly pleasure droids. But there is no comparison… not even worth discussing. You are mine.”
Danya smiled at his adamant claim. “I am, and you are mine,” she asserted and pressed her lips to his.
He savored her kiss, running the tip of his tongue over her lips as he caressed her hair. When their lips parted, her eyes drifted shut. Even though he didn’t need to sleep much, he didn’t want to leave her. There was nothing pressing he needed to do.
He was monitoring his team’s activities over their internal network, and their assignments were progressing as planned. Fifteen of the female cyborgs were activated along with another fifteen of the males. They were brought to the ship for updates for their onboard systems. He
did a memory dump of his work with Danya for the Enclave so they would know what to do on the job.
While that was happening, the teams from the first activation were moving cyborgs in stasis chambers from the third level to the ship since they would be activated sometime soon. It didn’t make sense to take them down a level when they would have to bring them back up.
Vyken had Kydel evaluate the liquid nitrogen vault with the cyborg embryos contained within to make sure it was safe to move it. Everything was under control; he was free to enjoy holding his mate as she slept.
It was still hours before dawn when Vyken left Danya still sleeping in his bed. He dressed quickly and went to address the newbies as he had before. He was interested to see the females. He hadn’t seen any female cyborgs in a couple decades. Vyken hoped there would be enough genetic diversity for them to be mated with at least some of the males on his crew. He was also just curious to see them as it had been so long.
The thirty newly awakened cyborgs were assembled in the gym on Starfire, standing in neat rows for inspection. They were all dressed in the standard issue khaki green cargo pants, black t-shirts, and boots, standing at ease. Vyken walked down every row looking them all over while his brothers were at the front of the room watching.
As would be expected, the females were not as large as the males. Most were of Amazonian size, six feet tall with subtly defined musculature and well-proportioned figures without overly large breasts to get in the way but enough to be attractive. From their appearance, the group seemed to be from assorted genetic lines.
I wish to mate with FRH-0281. Kydel informed him over their private channel that only the five of them could access. I recognize her as my genetic complement appropriated for breeding. She is also one of my Medic trainees.
