Below on this page is part 8 of the science fiction story "Meet the Phari". Kwystyk is anxious to reach the planet Numenes and find Kwanya before she has a chance to return to her home planet, Roceinne. He has been delayed in reaching Numenes because of Eynta's insistence that they collect her grand-daughter, Araal, on Dreavero before traveling to Numenes. Kwystyk believes that he and Kwanya must go to the planet Kwenslo and find some previously lost telepathy genes.

Eynta suspects that Araal might be strongly linked telepathically to Kwystyk's sister, Aara, by means of nanocoids. Eynta has some capacity to view the future, so she has a vague idea about Aara and Araal needing to collaborate and accomplish a task on Numenes that will make it possible for the Lavany mind clone network to establish telepathic communications with the Phari.

Events on Numenes that are described in part 8 of "Meet the Phari" (below) take place at the same time as other events that were previously described in Chapter 17 of The Alastor Network. 

Twenty years previously, Efraim was created as a clone of his mother, Alferica and now there are two copies of him on Numenes, one being a teleportation duplicate.

At the same time when Efraim was conceived, Aara was crafted by Grean from another egg cell obtained from Alferica. That second embryo was gestated by Grean and grew up in the Hui-chi city, 11a. Aara and Efraim eventually meet on the planet Numenes twice, as described below.

The genetics of telepathy.

After two days of being continuously and delightfully caught up in the telepathic sashei of both Eynta and Rob-B, Kwystyk finally got dressed and began thinking about Kwanya. While anxiously awaiting their imminent arrival at Numenes, he tried tuning in to news reports. Just when they had been departing from Dreavero, that world had been abuzz with a breaking news story about an apparent space pirate attack on the Starling, one of Alastor Cluster's largest passenger ships.

It was tricky and challenging to pick up communications signals while using the intersplit space-drive, and Kwystyk was having no luck. He glanced over his shoulder to where Araal was sleeping soundly on top of Rob-B. Kwystyk whispered to the robot, "Do you know how to correctly adjust the communicator while we are using the Jarnell? I'm not getting any signals."

Blazon

Rob-B quietly replied, "I'd try to help you, but I don't want to disturb Araal." Rob-B had discovered that Araal's vaginal muscles tended to lock down quite strongly onto whatever was inside her when she had an orgasm.

Eynta arrived on the control deck fresh from the shower, not bothering to have finished drying off. Just then, they fell out of intersplit, and Kwystyk successfully tuned into a news report describing the late arrival of Starling at Brevik. No casualties from the starmenter raid were being reported. Kwystyk relaxed and watched the graceful movements of Eynta's lovely purple-colored body as she went to stand over the bodies of Araal and Rob-B. Trying not no disturb her grand-daughter, she quietly requested that Rob-B arrange for them to dock at Blazon Spaceport.

Brevik

Since meeting her, Kwystyk had gradually grown to enjoy Eynta's intensely deep purple coloration, even if such eye-catching pigmentation was rare on the worlds of Alastor Cluster. However, he knew there was no sense in startling the port authorities by having Eynta speak to them. Kwystyk's type of blue skin coloring was much more common around Alastor Cluster and so he said, "I'll do it." He switched the communicator to transmit mode and told Eynta, "You stay out of sight." Kwystyk watched the cute twitching of Eynta's sexy bottom as she walked to the bedroom door and then was lost from sight. 

Kwystyk called the spaceport and in response to his request, was told by an automated system to standby and that their ship's autopilot would receive a gate assignment sometime during the next day. He asked to speak to a port official and a voice came through the comsystem, "Do you have an emergency?"

"We have urgent business on Numenes."

"You never filed a flight plan?"

"No. Since when do arriving spaceships need to file a flight plan?"

"Since these recent starmenter attacks. Where are you arriving from?"

"We came here directly from Dreavero, Yerophet before that."

"Okay, that matches our database entries. You are in luck, I can slip your tiny ship in at one of the service berths." The voice link went dead but their autopilot was then provided with a navigational docking program that would automatically bring them to their assigned access gate at the gigantic Blazon facility. 

Eynta returned from the bedroom, having dressed lightly for the warm climate of Numenes in clothes she had bought on Dreavero for just that purpose. "What was all that about?"

Kwystyk explained, "Apparently there are new, stricter rules for spacecraft arriving here."

Eynta sat on the arm of Kwystyk's chair and put an arm around his shoulders. "I'm glad we won't be delayed. I'm more than ready for a hot day on the beach after spending twenty years on Yerophet." With her free hand, she reached out to the controls and checked the status of the docking program. She then looked over her shoulder and told Rob-B, "You are going to have to wake Araal up eventually. We dock in fifteen minutes. She might want a shower."

Kwystyk had a hand up under Eynta's miniskirt and was gently stoking her labia with the tips of his fingers. He struggled to control his sexual urges and said, "I suppose I should be social and shower."

Eynta had one of her large round breasts almost in Kwystyk's face. She inhaled and said, "Don't bother on my account. Your sweet blue semen is like an aphrodisiac and reminds me of your mother."

Kwystyk laughed and stood up, pulling Eynta to her feet. He kissed the tip of Eynta's purple nose. "You and I are sexually compatible, but that does not mean that the person sitting next to me on the shuttle ride down to Numenes will enjoy the aroma of our bodily secretions."

Eynta reached down and stroked his semi-erect penis where it pressed outwards against the fabric of his pants. "And you do produce prodigious quantities of semen. Too bad your testes are internal... I'd love to see them... they must be gigantic. Take a cold shower and see if you can get your lovely penis tucked away."

With Eynta's hand stimulating his penis and with Kwystyk feeling the full force of Eynta's telepathic sashei, he experienced a flash-like vision of the future. He could see Kwanya seated at a table, being interviewed by some university officials. Taking that brief telepathic transmission as a good sign, Kwystyk was hopeful that Twanya had not yer departed from Numenes. He went off to the shower while trying to determine if he was in weak telepathic contact with Kwanya. 

Kwystyk was sensing the telepathic signals of the Muu're, but he was unaware of the source of that diffuse, mostly subconscious sensation. He hoped that he was sensing Kwanya's mind and that her signal would intensify when they were able to move closer together. Stepping from the cold of the shower, Kwystyk watched as his penis retracted into his genital grove and then it disappeared from sight. He began dressing in his long-sleeved shirt and pants but then began thinking about the warm climate of Numenes. He looked into Eynta's closet and found a halter that was too small, but it almost covered his breasts and he also selected one of Eynta's short little skirts. Now dressed appropriately for the tropical islands of Numenes, he quickly brushed his hair then returned to the flight deck.

When Kwystyk returned to the little spaceship's control room from the shower, Rob-B finally allowed her artificial penis to deflate. Araal immediately awoke and asked rather testily, "Hey, what happened Ro-?" She saw that Kwystyk and Eynta were there, just a few feet away, at the spaceship's controls, and did not utter her sexually explicit pet-name for Rob-B. She sighed, and watched Rob-B getting dressed, very pleased to have begun her surprise vacation by discovering how much fun it was to engage in sex play with the versatile robot. Rob-B was always ready and willing to alter her body parts just to please Araal. Suddenly realizing that for the first time in days the robot was not filling her mind with lustful thoughts and erotic emotional impulses, she asked, "Have we reached Numenes?"

"No, but we are soon to dock at Blazon." Rob-B bent low and kissed Araal's pink labia. "Very few spaceships ever get to land on Numenes. We'll take a shuttle to the space elevator and then ride down to the surface."

Araal felt her hot wet vagina and decided it was polite of the robot not to have ejaculated any synthetic semen during the course of their sex play. Rob-B had offered to provide her with robotic fluids in several different flavors, but not being a fan or oral sex she had declined the offer. Feeling no great need to shower, she recovered her discarded clothing from odd corners of the flight deck and got dressed. She told Eynta, "I was just having a strange dream, grandma."

Eynta told her grand-daughter, "Please just call me Eynta. Every time I hear you call me grandma, I feel my true age." She had told Araal that she was 'several centuries' old, but the truth was that Eynta had personal memories going back over a thousand years to when she was in her first body. "I prefer to pretend that I'm a sexy young nubile." Eynta tried pushing Araal's thoroughly tumbled hair into some sort of order. "I was there with you, on the fringe of your dream... that woman in the dream vision is named Aara."

"She said her name was Ariel."

Kwystyk explained, "My sister is using the name Ariel during her mission on Numenes. Her real name is Aara. Are you still in telepathic contact with her?"

"No, I could sense her mind only when I was relaxed and asleep with Rob-B's robotic penis vibrating gently inside me... However, I think she knows that we are coming to meet her."

Eynta said, "Our main goal right now is to find Kwanya, but I can't push out of my thoughts the idea that you need to find Aara for some additional... project. We may need to split up into two groups as soon as we reach the surface."

They were about to dock at Blazon and Rob-B was looking back and forth between Kwystyk and Eynta. "It might be best if you two altered your skin tones. The closer we get to Lusz, the more likely we are to be seen by a roving secret service agent. They constantly patrol, looking for anyone who stands out as an oddity among the tourists."

Eynta shook her head. "This is a cosmopolitan planet. People here should be used to seeing aliens and human-alien hybrids of all types. I'm tired of hiding my natural color."

Kwystyk suggested, "My dear Eynta, you can't trust your feelings in this matter. For twenty years you have been living and working among the bizarre alien hybrids on Yerophet. You need to remember that most people of the Cluster never see hybrids during the course of their daily lives."

Eynta insisted, "Still, they are aware of the existence of hybrids and should not freak out when they meet one. If we hybrids keep hiding and disguising ourselves, things will never change."

"I'm not ashamed of my color, either." Kwystyk placed his hands on her shoulders and told Eynta, "However, you are very flashy. If we attract too much attention, it might delay our search for Kwanya." He kissed Eynta rather passionately on the lips then pulled back. "Try to control your sashei and as for our skin... Rob-B has some nanites from Grean that could make us much less conspicuous."

Being near Kwystyk was causing Eynta's old memories of Grean to continually erupt, provoking her telepathic sashei to stay active. However, Eynta was not in the mood to be telling passing tourists on Numenes about her Iidi ancestors. "Oh, very well. Where are these nanites?"

Rob-B handed the vial with the disguise nanites to Eynta. "This might work out well. We can split the nanites between the two of you, just to take the sharp edge off of your unusual colorings."

As the spaceship gently attached to the dock, Eynta opened the vial. The portal opened and a Spaceport dock worker stuck her head into the little ship. "Four of you? In this little boat? Come on out here where we have some space to move." The four passengers obediently filed off the spaceship. While the demographics and scheduling technician recorded their personal identification information, Grean's disguise nanites were at work, shifting the skin color of both Kwystyk and Eynta part way towards normal human skin tones. 

Her job of entering their data into the Numenes demographics database now completed, the tech remotely activated Eynta's autopilot in the spaceship, sending it off into a parking orbit and freeing up the precious dock space. Turning back from that little task, she stared at Eynta, amazed at how her appearance had altered. She blinked twice and asked, "What just happened?" She glanced at Kwystyk and said, "A minute ago you two looked like a circus act."

Araal told the tech, "Don't be rude to my grandmother! I was told that Numenes is a sophisticated world without anti-alien prejudice. I'm going to report you. What's your name?"

The woman pointed to her ID badge and said, "Wynnona Unklain." She gazed suspiciously at Araal and said, "Don't accuse me of prejudice. I know what I saw." Now Rob-B was also shifting her appearance and trying to distract the dock worker's attention from Eynta. The tech pointed at Eynta and said, "I can feel your sashei. Are you some exotic sex entertainer?"

Kwystyk giggled. He could sense that Rob-B was now using her telepathic sashei and ability to alter her appearance in an attempt to distract the port employee. He felt the robot's sashei spilling over into his own mind and concentrated on not allowing his penis to inflate and pop out. In the miniskirt he was wearing, there was no possibility of concealing his penis. Eynta was behaving herself and had not activated her own sashei beyond its basal level of activity, but Wynnona seemed particularly sensitive to the arousing effects of telepathic sashei.

Eynta was impatient to start looking for Kwanya and tried to dismiss the dock worker with a flippant reply: "Visit me at my hotel tonight and I'll let you decide for yourself how entertaining my sex play can be." Eynta took Kwystyk's arm and marched off into the busy space station. 

Gazing at Wynnona whose nipples were now stiff and jutting outward, Araal told the tech, "Lucky for you we are in a hurry to catch our shuttle, otherwise I'd give you a piece of my mind." Rob-B put an arm around Araal and guided her away, following after Eynta.

Wynnona looked after Eynta and put a hand to her breast, feeling her stiff nipples. She'd felt telepathic sashei before, while enjoying stage performances at tourist resorts on Numenes, but she had never imagined that any one individual could so dramatically provoke her emotions. She glanced at Eynta's personal information and thought wistfully about the possibility of taking her up on the offer of a sexual encounter. Wynnona slipped into an erotic fantasy about sex play with Eynta and Araal.

Then Wynnona shook her head and wondered: What has gotten into me? Luckily, Eynta had left the Wynnona with some infites that soon adjusted her memories, relieving the tech of her intense desire for sex. By the time when the next arriving ship docked, the tech's erectile tissue was almost back to normal for a work shift, but for the rest of that shift, sexual fantasies kept filling her thoughts and distracting her. Later, when she got back to the suite of rooms that she shared with her husband, she first relieved her pent-up sexual desires by making love to him, then afterwords she began researching worlds of the Cluster where there were human-alien hybrids that had bright purple skin. Wynnona had a vacation coming up and now she was fantasizing about visiting a world where there were other people with powerful sashei like that of Eynta.

The shuttle trip from Blazon to the space elevator downterminal was uneventful. Now, with Numenes sprawled before them and as their elevator car descended, Kwystyk could not keep his eyes off of Eynta. Her face now was less glaring and toned similarly to that of Araal, with a lovely exotic hint of purple. Araal had her eyes closed and was straining to link telepathically to Ariel. She said, "I believe Ariel recently quit her job at the Connatic's Hospital."

Eynta voiced her concern, "Oh, no. Do you think you can find her?"

Araal shrugged. "This is frustrating. At this distance and with so much telepathic noise from the Muu're, I can only get random fragments of information from her mind."

Kwystyk asked, "Muu're?"

Eynta explained, "The Muu're are telepathic natives of Numenes." She was trying to link her comring into the Numenes communications system, but she knew there was no available linkthrough service for new tourist accounts until they reached the surface of the planet.

While Araal continued trying to tune her mind to that of Ariel, Rob-B said, "I'm searching university admission records for any mention of Twanya. Nothing so far. Unfortunately, the database systems here on Numenes are harder to hack than those on Marune."

Kwystyk sighed. "We're in the Connatic's backyard and security is as tight here as anywhere in the Cluster. There are probably undercover Whelm and other security agents all around us." He explicitly warned the robot, "Don't get caught hacking into private data."

When they were finally out of the elevator terminal, Rob-B was guiding Araal through the throngs of tourists. Walking towards the surface transport depot and now actually on the surface of Numenes, Araal opened her eyes and told Eynta, "I'm telepathically linked to Aara... mercifully she's a strong transmitter. I think I can follow this signal to her location. Rob-B is helping..."

The robot explained, "I know Aara's mind pattern well. More importantly, I've found Rob-N's communications code for the Numenes planetary network. However, there is something wrong... as if Rob-N has turned off his receiver functionality. At this distance, I can't telepathically connect to Rob-N."

Kwystyk suggested, "It might be best for you to limit your own outputs, Rob-B. The Whelm now has some telepathy detectors that it might have deployed here near the Palace." Kwystyk asked Araal, "How is my sister? Is it alarming her to feel you touching her mind?"

"No, based on the splinters and fragments of her thoughts that I've been able to catch, I feel that she is excited to meet me. She's been making plans to return to Marune. I think her mission here has been completed. I believe she has already made her travel reservations, but now she is waiting for me."

Kwystyk told Rob-B, "Take care of Araal and let me know when you find my sister."

Rob-B held up a hand. "Hold on. I think I found..." The robot nodded. "Yes. Kwanya just had an interview at Lavaida University. I'll try to find out where she is staying." Rob-B and Araal walked off into the transport depot, discussing the best subway connections to move them closer to Aara's apparent location.

Eynta told Kwystyk, "Lavaida is actually located in the Palace." She looked upwards to where the Palace of Lusz was looming over them. The space elevator had just brought them down along the west side of the Palace megastructure. "We should make a reservation for one of the uptubes." They went to the nearest tourist ticket office where reservations could be made for tourist events and travel problems were addressed. The ticket office was circular with the hub holding ten ticket agents each standing behind a podium with a short line of tourists in front of them, radiating out like spokes on a wheel. Eynta walked all the way around the room, bouncing her telepathic sashei off of each ticket agent, testing for any indication of feedback. She muttered, "This looks promising." 

They got into a short line of tourists and Eynta immediately began focusing her full telepathic sashei on that one particular ticket agent. Kwystyk began to respond to Eynta's powerful sashei, which he tried to ignore by thinking about the amazing engineering that had made possible the space elevator of Numenes and the fantastic megastructures of this world that made Numenes such a popular tourist destination. He gazed up at the Palace that seemed to float in the sky over their heads and allowed his slight sense of reflexive claustrophobic terror to expand, wondering what he would do if he lost control of his penis and it popped out. He told himself: Oh, well, the tourists will be entertained.

Eynta was looking intently at the rather tall ticket agent at the head of the line. Then another ticket agent arrived, and the tall agent moved to the next podium, giving that next agent around the circle her break time. Eynta shifted over to the adjacent line and continued advancing towards the podium. Kwystyk followed along struggling to keep his erectile tissue under control.

By the time they reached the podium of the tall travel agent, the man was sweating and could not pull his eyes away from Eynta. Eynta quickly explained, "Sir, I need your help. We just learned that our friend, a lady named Kwanya, is here on Numenes. Specifically, she's visiting Lavaida. I know the waits are long for entry to the Palace... is there any way that you could-"

The agent pressed a button and asked, "Martha, where are you?"

A woman's voice replied, "In the lounge, of course. I'm on break for five more minutes."

"I have an emergency, here. Your break is over." He terminated the call to Martha and told Eynta, "As soon as Martha gets back here, I'll take you to the uptube." He glanced at Kwystyk. "But I only have my personal pass. Your friend..." He gestured towards Kwystyk.

Eynta said, "This is Kwystyk. I'm Eynta. Thank you for being so accommodating."

"I'm Trevance." He smiled broadly at Eynta, his eyes fixed on her prominent breasts and erect nipples. "My job is to help tourists... keep them happy."

Eynta reached out and took Trevance's hand. "I'm very grateful for your help." He squeezed his hand warmly.

Trevance asked, "What is your..." He rather awkwardly pushed at his swelling penis where it was quite fully filled with blood and pushing against his pants. "Do you know your friend's call code? Miss Kwanya? I'll let her know that you are coming... are on the way up."

Martha arrived at the podium and told Trevance, "You owe me five minutes of break."

"Thanks for rushing back." Trevance pointed to Eynta and told Martha, "I'm going to take the Lady Eynta to the front of the uptube line." He turned to Kwystyk and said, "You can wait here if you like. Martha can get you a delivered meal, or anything you need while you wait."

Eynta told Trevance. "Actually, it is Kwystyk who must go up to the Palace. He met Kwanya on a spaceliner earlier this week and wants to, um, connect again."

Trevance laughed. "A sexual tryst? How delightful! We get a lot of that among our rather lusty tourists." He winked at Eynta and now turned away from her and took Kwystyk's arm, pulling him towards the nearby uptube. Speaking over his shoulder, he told Eynta, "I'll be right back!" To Kwystyk he said, "Let's go... quickly now." Trevance was eager to get rid of Kwystyk and get back to tending to the needs and desires of the incredibly sexy Eynta. As they walked towards the closest uptube depot, Trevance said, "Allow me to call your friend."

"I just arrived on planet and I'm not yet linked into the planetary communications system." He held up his hand where he wore his comring. "Her name is Kwanya Roshyng."

They were now walking past a long line of tourists who were waiting for their scheduled time to use the uptube and go up into the Palace megastructure. While walking, Trevance was using his datapax. "Kwanya is a tourist?"

"Well, she might go to school here on Numenes. She just interviewed at the university today."

Trevance was looking at a cloud of data being holographically projected into the air by the datapax. "R-o-s-h-y-n-g? This must be her." He put through a call. "Kwanya? Hold on, Kwystyk calling for you." He handed the datapax to Kwystyk.

Kwystic spoke into the little datapax, "Kwanya, I just arrived on Numenes. Where are you?"

"Kwystyk! What a wonderful treat. I'm at the Belerhus Hotel, near Lavaida University." Kwanya checked her own communications device. "This call tracker shows you near the palace."

Kwystyk looked upwards and imagined that he could sense the fringes of Kwanya's mind. "I'm on my way up. See you soon!" He handed the datapax back to Trevance. They had entered into a small room through a door marked 'Employees Only'. 

Trevance refused to take back the datapax. "Use that device as your pass for the uptube. And don't lose it! I could get in big trouble for letting you borrow it."

"I should have asked Kwanya to come down here."

"Oh, I think you'll enjoy the luxury of the Belerhus. Now, through that gate and then just merge in with the rest of the tourists."

A minute later, Kwystyk was in the transport tube, rapidly rising up towards the Palace. Unable to figure out the controls on the datapax, Kwystik put it in his pocket and for a moment enjoyed the view from the tube. Then he began trying to link his comring into the Numenes network, but not being familiar with the strict Palace security protocols, could not get a linkthrough into the Numenes communications network.

___________

Martha made a reservation for Eynta to visit the Palace. The next available tube slot was a reservation cancellation, now just seven hours away. With some help from Martha, Eynta was able to navigate through the complex security protocols and re-activate her old communications account that she had last used on Numenes many decades previously. 

Eynta reflected on the fact that she had last visited Numenes over fifty years ago while in her previous body... and a few things had changed during the intervening decades. Now, having activated her sashei in order to influence Trev's behavior, Eynta was eager to achieve an orgasm and Martha was quite a distraction.

Over time, the tourist trade had become increasingly concerned with the sexual appetites of younger tourists. The Numenes sashei-oriented dance and theater shows had greatly expanded over the past century. As part of the planet-wide effort to entertain tourists, Martha wore a small, tight-fitting bikini top and a synthgrass skirt and nothing else. She'd undergone the newly trendy type of breast surgery to add a decorative second pair of nipples positioned high on her breasts, ornamentation that never failed to amuse the tourists. Eynta could not keep her eyes off of Martha's pretty nipples as she told the woman, "Thank you for getting me on the network." Eynta licked her lips and resisted the temptation to lick one of Martha's stiff little nipples. As soon as her comring was finally linked to the Numenes network, Eynta turned away from Martha and called Rob-B and asked, "How is it going?"

"Araal is guiding us to Ariel's beach house on Tremone Island. We'll arrive at Ariel's weekend home in just a few minutes. How are you doing?"

"Kwystyk is going up to meet Kwanya in the Palace. I'm stuck here on the ground." She saw Trevance returning. "Call me when you get to Ariel's place."

Rob-B suggested, "You might as well come over here."

"No something has come up." Eynta cut her comlink to the robot and waved to Trevance. Having mercilessly used her sashei on Trevance, her vagina was gushing with secretions, her erectile tissue was engorges and she was eager to make love with him.

Trevance sat down beside Eynta, placed a hand on her shapely thigh and asked, "Did Martha get you a reservation to visit the Palace?"

Overhearing the question and not currently engaged helping any tourists, Martha replied, "I got her a reservation to enter the Palace in about seven hours."

Now Trevance took hold of Eynta's hand and asked, "Have you visited Numenes before? Allow me to show you around."

"How nice of you!" Eynta jumped to her feet and pulled Trevance along. "I've been waiting twenty years for a chance to walk on a beach."

"We do have some amazing beaches, but the shoreline right here is rather rocky, with a hiking trail, just past those dunes." He pointed ahead, to where the sun was sinking in the west.

"Yes. Dunes." Eynta's thoughts became fixed on the idea of taking Trevance into the dunes where she could grab a quick orgasm. "That's good enough for me. I've been freezing my ass off on Yerophet. This tropical air feels so nice..." Walking quickly through the warm air of late afternoon, and with her sashei at work, both Eynta and Trevance were perspiring and breathing rapidly. Trevance was in a bit of pain because his semierect penis was trapped in this pants. Eynta felt some of her vaginal secretions dripping down the inner surface of her leg.

Trevance was blissfully awash in Eynta's telepathic sashei. He slipped an arm around her skinny waist. "Yerophet... isn't that were they are having an epidemic?"

"Cold fever."

Trevance shook his head and let his hand slide down to Eynta's shapely little bottom. "Crazy times! And these starmenter attacks on spaceships... I suppose you are happy to be safely down from space." 

Eynta placed a hand on his stiffening penis. "Well, I don't need to feel completely safe all the time. I enjoy taking risks and besides, my understanding is that public nudity and even public sex play are not illegal for tourists on Numenes."

Trevance laughed and said, "Very true. That's all part of keeping our visitors happy and eager to return." Floating in a sweet sexual cloud created by Eynta's telepathic sashei, Trev was ready for some sex play, but he politely voiced his one concern, "I'm worried that we might not be compatible... size wise."

Eynta had accumulated a large number of useful infites over the centuries while working with Grean. She was startled by what she could feel in his pants and the apparent size of Trev's semi-erect penis and she suspected he might have the Asterothrope gene patterns that were, according to legend, able to endow Asterothrope males with a large penis. She already had her medical nanites making alterations to her vagina. "Relax and enjoy yourself, Trev. I want to reward you for so efficiently helping my friend Kwystyk get up into the Palace. Don't fret about getting up into my tight little vagina. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how accommodating I can be."

They went up a ramp to the top of a sand dune. The ocean spread before them, glistening like a bed of jewels, now a half hour before sunset. Eynta bought a big beach towel from a vendor and led Trevance to a secluded spot among the dunes. Just when Eynta had tugged down Trev's pants and revealed the full magnificence of his huge penis, Rob-B called: "We are at Ariel's house. It is as you predicted. They are-"

Eynta interrupted the robot. Speaking into her comring, she told the robot, "I'll call you later. There is something I need to take care of right now." She terminated the call and spread the towel on the warm sand. A moment later she had her clothes off and laid back on the towel, peering up at Trevance. "Hurry up. For years I've fantasized about making love under a hot sun..." The setting sun was already hidden behind a sand dune, but Trevance did not argue with the timing.

Realizing that Eynta was eager for vaginal sex, Trev soon had his penis hovering over her glistening wet labia and then he paused to say, "I don't want to hurt you." He gently spread her labia with his fingers and managed to slide the big head of his penis a few inches into her hot silky vagina. "Is this going to work? I'm not hurting you?" He licked one of her stiff nipples and said, "Your sashei is sending me up in flames."

"Don't talk... I love the way you are stetching out my vagina. Get going, boy! Work. You'll find that my vagina is full of surprises. Some of my lovers call it magical!"

He laughed nervously. "You have such skinny hips, I was not sure if-"

She pulled him deeper inside her hot vagina and sighed contentedly as it stretched to its fullest capacity. "Right now, the only way to switch off my sashei is for me to have a pleasing orgasm, so, Trev, a little less talk and a lot more friction." Trev was surprised to discover how deep her vagina was, almost able to hold his entire erection. They both had their first orgasms before the the sun set and the stars came out. And by then, Eynta was quite pleased with Trev's sex play and she was in no mood to quickly stop using her sashei. Trev was enthralled by the massaging rhythm that her vaginal muscles set up and maintained for the duration of their love making.

After 20 years of speculating with Lora about the possibility of finding a human-alien hybrid somewhere in the cluster with Asterothrope-like male characteristics, Eynta had grown a bit frustrated. Lora talked with certainty about the existence of such hybrids, but when asked where they lived, she only smile enigmatically. Now Eynta wondered if it was Grean who had arranged for her to find such a gene candidate here on Numenes.

Inside the gigantic Palace of Lusz, only a small part of which was used by the royal family as their private residence, Kwystyk had no trouble finding the Belerhus Hotel and Kwanya was there, waiting for him in the lobby. They fell into each others arms and luxuriated in their shared telepathic mind link which activated strongly as they saw each other and touched each others bodies. Kwystyk offered an apology: Sorry I was delayed getting here.

Looking into Kwystyk's mind, Kwanya had a dozen questions. Who is Eynta?

Kwystyk replied: An old friend of my mother's. More than a thousand years old! She wants to go to Kwenslo and search of some lost telepathy genes.

Walking hand-in-hand, Kwystyk was led by Kwanya into the Hotel's Shiryka Lounge. Over dinner, Kwystyk told Kwanya about events on Yerophet and Eynta's belief that they shared a strong telepathic link because nanocoids were providing them with a form of technology-assisted telepathy. Kwystyk was enjoying the sensation of Kwanya's sweet sashei enveloping his mind. He felt his penis stiffening inside his body.

Kwanya asked: Who is Miahco?

You don't recognize the name?

Kwanya let go of Kwystyk's hand and put her hands on her head, closed her eyes and spoke. When not physically in contact with Kwystyk's body, she could no longer transmit her linguistic thoughts directly to his mind. "The name seems unfamiliar, yet you seem to feel that I should know him."

Kyodora and Miahco

"Miahco told us quite a story on Yerophet... that he knows my mother and he lived in a future time and raised a family with his wife, Kyodora, on the planet Roceinne. His two daughters are named Kwystolf and Kwanya."

Kwanya opened her eyes. "This is so strange. My sister is Kwystolf, but my mother, Kyodora, is married to a man named Horace. I saw Horace just last week on Roceinne! I've known my dad my entire life."

Kwystyk was trying to imagine a time loop that Grean had designed, one in which Miahco had known Kyodora in some future time, although Grean might have had reason to change his name from Horace to Miahco. "Tell me, what does Horace look like?"

Kwanya provided a detailed description. Then Kwystyk asked, "Your sister, Kwystolf, is she pregnant?"

"You saw that in my mind."

"Yes." Kwystyk added, "And no. Miahco said that his daughter, in the future, just found out recently that she is pregnant. Maybe it happened twice! Once here in this time and then again, in the future."

Kwanya laughed and told Kwystyk, "You are crazy!" A waiter served them their dinner.

Kwystyk and Twanya again held hands. Shifting back to telepathy, Kwystyk explained: Crazy things happen when my mother is involved. She has access to time travel technology.

Kwanya stated emphatically: The physicists seem certain that time travel is impossible. 

Kwystyk nodded and began eating. They also say that the Jarnell spaceship drive defies the laws of physics.

Kwanya stopped eating and now leaned across the little table and held his hand with both of her hands. Looking deeply into his mind, she saw the reason why Kwystyk had been delayed arriving from Yerophet. Who are Araal and Ariel?

Kwystyk explained as well as he could. Ariel is my sister, Aara. She has been working for my mother here on Numenes... some secret project. 

Kwanya added: And Araal is Eynta's grand-daughter.

Kwystyk activated his comring. And I should check to see if Araal has located Ariel, but I can't access the Numenes communications system. I keep getting a message that says 'unauthorized security risk'.

Kwanya took his ring. Yes, there are special security protocols on Numenes and they are very complex here at the Connatic's Palace. I had to figure this out when I arrived. After a few minutes she had his comring on the network and handed it back to Kwystyk.

Almost immediately, a call came through from Rob-B who asked, "Did you find Kwanya?"

Kwystyk pointed his comring towards Kwanya and showed Rob-B a view of her sitting across the table from him. "Did you find Ariel?"

"We did, but now I've lost contact with Eynta. She's no longer responding to my calls. I wanted to tell her about Efraim."

Kwystyk asked, "Efraim?"

"As soon as Aara and Araal met they started babbling about Efraim and then they went into Aara's bedroom. I'm here with Rob-N trying to figure out what is going on. Apparently Aara and Araal both feel that they need to find Efraim."

Kwystyk repeated, "Efraim?"

"He's a mysterious young man from Marune who Aara met a few weeks ago." The robot paused. "Hold on. I think Aara and Araal just had orgasms. Their minds are in some sort of telepathic feedback loop. Now they are asking that Rob-N and I join them in the bedroom. I'll call you back."

Kwanya giggled. She kicked off one of her sandals and extended her leg under the table, placing her foot between Kwystyk's legs. Inside his miniskirt, she pressed her big toe against his genital grove. Kwystyk warned: Be careful dear. If you make my penis pop out, I'll put on quite a show for the tourists.

She pulled back her foot. Hurry up and finish your meal. I want to take you to my room and eat you up.

Without any hesitation, Kwystyk stood up and told Kwanya: Let's go!

Asterothropes and time travel

Six hours later, Kwystyk was awakened by a call from Eynta. In their secluded spot among the sand dunes, after achieving one last orgasm with Trevance, he had reminding her gently that he needed his datapax back from Kwystyk. Straddling Trevance and with his erection still inside her, she spoke into her comring and asked Kwystyk, "Should I come... should I meet you and Kwanya in the Palace or will you two come down and meet me at Ariel's house?"

Kwanya was asleep on top of Kwystyk, their genitals still engaged. Kwystyk shared his news with Eynta, "Kwanya says her father is named Horace, not Miahco, but the rest of the details about Miahco's family match hers."

"Interesting." Eynta tried to think about the complexities of time loops and struggled for a moment to shift her mind away from its focus on Trev's big hot erection. Given the magnificent size of his penis, Eynta wondered if Trev had some Asterothrope gene combinations. Forcing herself to think about Kwanya's mysterious family, she asked, "How is that possible?"

"I'm trying to imagine some sort of time travel loop." The truth was, for the past six hours he had not thought of much except for the joy of his sex play with Kwanya. "I suppose we should check in with my sister."

"Yes, I got a strange message from Araal while I was busy here and had my comring shut off. Apparently, there is another man from Marune here on Numeness. Ariel and Araal were going to try to contact Efraim and then Araal promised to get back to me with important news."

Kwanya was now awake and listening to Eynta. Kwystyk said, "Okay, well come..." Kwanya began again joyfully sliding his penis in and out of her vagina. "We'll be down soon. Where are you?"

"I'll meet you at downtube 341." Eynta abruptly ended the call. Trevance had pushed her over onto her back and was now vigorously thrusting his erection into her 'magical' vagina. 

He quickly achieved another orgasm and then praised her amazing vaginal muscles. Sexually satisfied, Eynta was now able to ratchet down her sashei. After a quick swim in the dark ocean, Trevance was eventually able to get his penis deflated and back inside his pants. Eynta pulled on her skirt and said, "Let's get over to the downtube. Kwystyk will return the datapax to you."

As they walked to the tube, a ribbon of actual stars could be seen along the horizon and the bottom side of the Palace showed a simulated night sky that was designed to enthrall the tourists. Waking hand-in-hand with Eynta, Trevance asked, "When can I see you again?"

Eynta laughed. "You must see dozens of fresh and cute tourists each day. By tomorrow you will have forgotten about me."

"Not true, I've never felt a mind like yours! I finally understand the meaning of 'sashei'."

Eynta touched her comring to his and transferred her network code to him. "Well, you may call me if you like, but I expect to be busy with my friends and I will not be conveniently close to your workplace tomorrow."

They reached the downtube and sat on a bench. Trevance put a hand on Eynta's leg and soon had his fingers under her skirt, stroking her labia. "Where are you from? I've never seen anyone with your kind of coloration."

"My family is from Dreavero. I have a large number if Iidi gene patterns. The purple color of my skin and hair is an Iidi pigment." She pulled his hand out from between her legs. Now, Trev, don't get me fired up again. I came to Numenes on important business and I can't let you distract me any more than you already have."

He complained, "I'm thoroughly distracted and I'm not complaining. I don't have to be back to work for 12 more hours. Let me take you to Ivorescence Beach."

Eynta had previously visited Ivorescence, long ago. Her memories of the beautiful beach were still vivid. "Don't tempt me. I have to attend to-" She pointed to the exit of the downtube. "There's Kwystyk!" Kwystyk and Kwanya were holding hands. Eynta jumped to her feet and told Trev, "You can call me tomorrow, but I can't promise to be free." She walked off towards Kwystyk.

Trevance sighed and watched Eynta's lovely bottom swaying as she strode away. He was tempted to rush after her, but Eynta had left him with a set of memory-altering infites that were already at work, shifting his thought patterns. A half hour later, when he finally stood up, Trevance could not remember how he had come to be sitting there at downtube 341. Putting his hands in his pockets, he found his datapax. He had a vague memory of having allowed a pretty purple-tinted tourist to use his datapax, but besides that, all he was left with was a strange desire to stroll across the island to Ivorescence Beach.

When Rob-B and Rob-N were called into Ariel's bedroom, they could sense that the two women were still experiencing simultaneous orgasms and had entered into some sort of telepathic trance. Rob-N asked Ariel, "Do you need a penis?"

Ariel kept licking the bright pink glans of Araal's clitoris and briefly pulled a vibrator out of the other woman's vagina so that she could wave it at Ron-N. Ariel slid the big vibrator back inside Araal's vagina. After watching the two women pleasuring each-other for a minute, Rob-B asked, "Well, why did you two call for us?"

As the orgasm trance finally ended, Ariel rolled away from Araal and said rather dreamily, "We were just in contact with Grean. She's sending us a copy of Efraim and he might be a bit disoriented when he arrives."

Just then a young man appeared in the room, on the other side of the bed from where the two robots were standing. Feeling some disorientation from being teleported, he looked at the naked bodies of Araal and Ariel and asked, "Where am I?"

Ariel sat up and said, "Welcome to Numenes, Efraim. I'm Ariel." She patted Araal's shoulder and said, And this is Araal."

Efraim glanced at Rob-B and Rob-N then said, "I was just walking along the avenue of the Haune..." He rubbed his head. Some of Delph'a infites were at work in his mind, reducing his fear and anxiety.

Ariel stood up and taking hold of Efraim's arm, led him around the end of the bed. She told Rob-N, "This copy of Efraim is a teleportation duplicate, with his mind and memories still intact."

Efraim asked, "Why shouldn't my memories be intact?" Araal rolled off of the bed and began dressing.

Ariel explained, "A few months ago, you were exposed to mind-altering nanites. That damaged copy of you has been here on Numenes at the Connatic's Hospital, but he will soon return to Marune. Before he departs, we need to make use of your intact memories to help repair a serious deficit in your other copy's disrupted memory system. Once that task is complete, you can begin leading your new life."

Rob-N held out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Efraim." The robot shook hands with Efraim. "I'm Rob-N."

Rob-B was in her usual female form and she said. "I'm Rob-B."

Efraim looked back and forth between the two robots and then allowed his eyes to return to Ariel's lovely body. "I feel like I'm interrupting something."

Now dressed, Araal took hold of Efraim's other arm and said, "For Ariel and I, our telepathic abilities work best when we are lifting memories out of a relaxed and open mind. The blissfully open state of mind that happens during an orgasm is useful to us."

Ariel added, "And these two robots can help people get in the mood..." She gestured towards Rob-B and Rob-N. "They have an artificial form of sashei that can sexually arouse humans." Ariel was excited to have hold of this second copy of Efraim. Just a few days previously, she had sadly told the other copy of Efraim that because of his decision to return to Marune, she could no longer date him.

Efraim gazed at the two sexy robots with amazement. "These are robots?" The few robots that Efraim had seen on Marune were not like these. "They could pass as human!" Under the influence of the robot's sashei, Efraim looked back at Ariel, reached out and caressed one of her perky breasts. "I don't understand why I'm here. My father will be enraged when he learns of my abduction."

Fwai-chi

Ariel placed her hands against Efraim's cheeks. "Your father will never know... he is dead. You have been pulled out of your place in life for a special purpose. It is your duplicate copy who must return to your home on Marune and become the new Kaiark."

Efraim grabbed Ariel's wrists. "Jochaim is dead?"

Now Rob-B and Rob-N each took hold of one of Efraim's arms and applied their powerful mechanical grips. Rob-N said menacingly, "Let go of Ariel!"

Efraim crashed his shoulder into Rob-N, but he could not break free of either robot. After a brief struggle, he said, "Who are you, really? What are you trying to do? You have not killed me... is this about ransom?"

Ariel told the robots, "Release Efraim." She again put her hands on his face. "You have some telepathic ability. Look into my mind. I have told you the truth. Grean has allowed you to retain all of your precious memories. In particular, we must provide your less fortunate copy with memories of Scharrode's ancient pact with the Fwai-chi. If you want to serve Scharrode and help all of Marune, then relax and cooperate with us on this task."

gharks

Efraim closed his eyes and thought about his ghark who could telepathically put words right into his mind. He shook his head, "I've always felt the minds of the Fwai-chi, but they are not here. This planet is blanketed with some other type of thought cloud."

Ariel put her arms around Efraim and pressed her perky breasts against his chest. "Hold me close and concentrate. What you are sensing in your mind are the Muu're, the natives of Numenes. Try to filter them out... ignore the Muu're and grab onto my mind pattern."

Efraim hugged Ariel and enjoyed the feel of her soft skin. Ariel reminded him of Maerio's sexy body. He forced himself to stop thinking about Maerio and tried to find an accessible strand of Ariel's mind. He glanced at Rob-N and complained, "This robot is not happy."

Rob-N said, "If you hurt Ariel in any way, I'll break your bones, human."

Ariel told the robots, "Take Araal in the other room. Give me a minute and then be ready to apply your sashei." When she was alone with Efraim she said, "Forget about the robots. Just relax. Three weeks ago I met the other copy of you, the one who had his memories stolen. Try to see that in my mind, which is open to you." She began opening up the complex fastening of his clothing with alacrity. "He and I engaged in some pleasant sex play, so I am already familiar with your pretty penis." Now that he was naked she pulled him onto the bed. Look into my mind, find the old memories of the first time we kissed." She pulled his head close and kissed Efraim on the lips.

Efraim looked over his shoulder. "I'm expecting that robot to come crashing through the door."

Ariel giggled. "Forget about Rob-N. His job is to protect me, but if you behave yourself, he will not hurt you."Ariel could sense that in an attempt to help, Araal was at that moment taking Rob-N's penis into her slick vagina. Warm telepathic sashei arriving from several minds was relaxing Efraims uneasiness. Ariel said, "Sadly, your mind is on a different level than mine, so this is going to take some effort. Would your prefer sex play with either Araal or Rob-B over me?"

"You have enthralled me!" Now feeling quite sexually aroused, Efraim relaxed and thrust his hard penis into Ariel's vagina. After a minute of luxuriating in the feel of her body he whispered in her ear, "I still don't understand what you intend to accomplish."

Wrapping her legs around Efraim, Ariel explained, "According to Grean, your copy is sleeping and his mind is open to us. We need to superimpose your thought pattern with his and re-establish some of his lost memory paths. Grean is helping with infites, but we need to do our part." Now she called out to the others in the next room, "Okay, lets ramp up the sashei!" And to Efraim: "Allow me to get on top of you."

He rolled them over and Ariel began vigorously sliding her hot vagina up and down over his erection. He reached out and stroked her breasts with his finder tips, tickling her stiff little nipples. She reminded him, "This is fun, but try to look into my mind. I want you to trust me."

Efraim was now in a state of burning arousal, but he tried to touch the complex thought pathways of her mind. He heard her ask: Can you see any of my memories of our past sex play?

Suddenly Efraim saw in her mind the first time she had taken his penis out of his pants, finally having solved the puzzle of the complex fastenings after their first week of dating. Of course, he had no personal memory of that event since it had been Ariel playing with his copy. Looking into Ariel's memories, he felt her feeling of joy at having solved the frustrating puzzle of his clothing and then he experienced her memory of pulling back his delicate foreskin and licking the sensitive skin underneath. Following the flow ho Efraim's thoughts, Ariel giggled and said, "Good. You are learning my mind pattern. Grean was right! We can do this."

Ariel reached a glorious sexual climax and then Efraim ejaculated. Now Efraim's mind was tumbling inside a shared mindspace with Ariel, Araal, Rob-N and Rob-B. Then he saw himself between Ariel's legs, licking her stiff little clitoris, but that was a memory of the other Efraim pleasuring Ariel, no more than five days previously. He wondered: Why did they stop seeing each other?

Ariel told Efraim: Don't get distracted. We need to stay in this pleasure trance for a few minutes.

Efraim rolled them over again and Ariel pulled her legs up along the sides of her chest. Efraim was startled to realize that his ejaculatory spurts were continuing and his orgasm was lasting far longer than he had ever imagined possible. He experimented thrusting into her tight vagina from several different angles. Among his tingling pleasure sensations, Efraim vaguely sensed his mind synchronizing with that of his other copy, but it was Ariel and Araal who were doing the detail work of transferring his memories over into the duplicate Efraim.

Finally the orgasm trance ended and Efraim opened his eyes. Ariel looked at him with a happy smile and said, "Success!"

He was now gently sliding his penis in and out of her and trying to understand what had just happened. "That was amazing."

Ariel laughed and said, "Grean usually finds a way to reward her operatives."

"Who is this Grean?"

"A Kac'hin. An alien creature." Ariel added, "You know her as your ghark."

Now above the bed, some of Delpha's nanites assembled into a visible cloud and told Ariel: You will be tempted to go to Roceinne to investigate Kwanya's family, but you will be needed on Ottengla.

Under these circumstances, Ariel could not tell the difference between Delpha and Grean. Ariel told Efraim, "Grean is here with us now."

Following her eyes, Efraim looked over his shoulder then stopped his delightful playing in her vagina and rolled over to lay on the bed beside Ariel, his penis and eyes pointed upwards. "My ghark?"

Delpha told Efraim: Thank you for your help. Now you can begin your new life. The cloud of nanites dissipated after depositing some infites inside Ariel.

Ariel got up on one elbow and grabbed Efraim's erection. "There is still urgent work to be done... Kwystyk needs to go to Kwenslo and find some important telepathy genes." Delpha's memory-editing infites were now at work inside Efraim, altering his memories and his entire mindset. Ariel was also processing the new infites she had just received. She began sucking on the tip of Efraim's penis and she placed a hand on his scrotum. He reached out and slipped first one and then two fingers into her hot wet vagina. Ariel added, "But that can wait for morning."
