Whisk

An imaginary science fiction novel
called Pharism. image source

 Near the beginning of "Trullion" by Jack Vance, the star-drive that is used by spaceships in Alastor Cluster is casually referred to as "whisk". At labs.google/fx Google now has a generative imagery experiment called "Whisk". Here is how Google describes the Whisk image-generating software: "Behind the scenes, the Gemini model automatically writes a detailed caption of your images. It then feeds those descriptions into Google’s latest image generation model, Imagen 3." During the past year I've been occasionally using Gemini to generate images, but Whisk has a specific formalized system for uploading two reference images ("subject" and "scene") and combining them with a predefined "style" (see Figure 1, below).

  Figure 1. The Whisk formula for image creation.

Following Google's link to Whisk, I arrived at the "subject" upload user interface page shown in Figure 2, below.

Figure 2. The Whisk landing page.

I dragged one of my existing AI-generated images (see Figure 4, below) into the Whisk "subject" field and this is what was generated (Figure 3):

Figure 3. After uploading a "subject" image.

 

 

 

 

 

 Note: the first time I tried to use Whisk I got the standard "login with Google" prompt. That's my Google user icon in the upper right corner of Figure 2.

Figure 4. A "subject" reference
image by Mr. Wombo.

The "subject" image (Figure 4) that I uploaded (drag and drop) into Whisk was an old AI-generated image that was made by Mr. Wombo (WOMBO Dream) back in 2024.

 Excremental. My guess is that the hideous yellow background color that was selected for the Whisk user interface is intended to be a color that most people would not include in their own reference images. So although there might be a good reason for using such a bizarre color, this strikes me as a choice that is just as bad as using the name "Bard" for a chatbot. After releasing the Bard chatbot, Google quickly changed the name to Gemini. I won't be surprised if Google switches Whisk to a new background color that is easier on the eye.

Figure 5. Add image.

There is a mysterious "add your own image" field in the Whisk interface (Figure 5), but when I used that to upload a "subject" image, Whisk did not process it; the uploaded image was just left there doing nothing (see Figure 6).

Figure 6. After upload using the
"ADD YOUR OWN IMAGE" field.

I suppose that since this is all just an "experiment", we should not expect much from the Whisk user interface. However, I find "drag and drop" to be very annoying. Fortunately, you do not have to drag and drop where it says "DROP AN IMAGE HERE". If you click there, then you can use a standard file selection dialog window to select and upload your image.

Figure 7. Two subjects from one upload.

Here is what the Whisk FAQ says about "subject" reference  images: "That’s what the image is about! Character, objects or a combination of such. An old rotary phone! A cool chair! A cardboard movie display. A mysterious renaissance vampire." When I uploaded the image from Figure 6 into Whisk, it generated two new "plushies" (see Figure 7).

Figure 8.
Another "subject".

The image that I uploaded into the "ADD YOUR OWN IMAGE" field is shown in Figure 8. As can be seen in Figure 7, the AI-generated "plushie" came with a black shirt (that shows her belly button), blue pants and blond hair, all correctly matching the reference image in Figure 8. I'm not sure how Whisk selected the hair color/style for the "vampire" plushie (to the right in Figure 7). Maybe the hair for the vampire was "borrowed" from the lady in Figure 8. It does look like the plushie for the tall blond is slightly taller than the vampire plushie.

Figure 9. Enamel pin example.

Currently, there are only three "styles" available in the drop-down menu. An example with the "enamel pin" style is shown in Figure 9. I uploaded the plushie from the left side of Figure 7 as a new reference image and Whisk converted it into a "pin".

Figure 10. The "tool" interface.

As seen in Figure 9, as soon as Whisk generates a new image, there is a new button: "OPEN IN TOOL". Apparently that "tool" is the "real" user interface. The interface shown in Figure 2 is apparently just a simplified "starter page" for new users. When in the "tool" user interface (see Figure 10) there is a tab on the left that allows you to add a "scene", either by providing a text prompt or by uploading another image. At this point, I tried to change the hair of the vampire with this text prompt: "Change the vampire subject's hair color to black hair."

Not shown in Figure 10 is the fact that Whisk generates two versions of each image. 

Figure 11. Two edited versions of the plushies.  Click on image to enlarge.

The image in Figure 11 shows the two Whisk-generated plushie images side-by-side (upper row) and also the two edited versions (lower row) in which the vampire was given black hair. There were also some modifications to the belly button plushie: she was allowed to stand up and she was given just the slightest hint of cleavage.

Figure 12. Whisk image buttons; upper left, ✓ REFINE. Upper right, delete.

I then uploaded a background image for the "scene", but nothing happened (see Figure 15, below). Shown in Figure 12 are the buttons that appear when you hover over an image (this Whisk-generated image originated from Figure 3, above). Clicking on the "REFINE" button zooms you in on that one image and allows you to apply a text prompt that will modify the image.

13

Clicking on the other button (the icon looks like a printed page and a pencil) that is just to the right of the "REFINE" button, gives you access to a Gemini-generated text description of that image. 

No scene.

Gemini-generated image description example for Figure 12: "A photograph of a chibi plushie of a young woman with shoulder-length, wavy blonde hair and fair skin.  The plushie is made of soft, cuddly fabric with soft, button eyes and a friendly expression. She wears a light gray, short-sleeved crop top and a dark gray, short A-line skirt. A dark brown belt is cinched around her waist. The plushie is sitting on a table, centered and uncropped against a plain white background. The lighting is even and soft. The background is a detailed depiction of a futuristic spaceship interior, rendered in a chibi style. The walls are dark blue and metallic, with various technological elements such as control panels and screens, all appearing soft and plush. A large circular window with orange accents is visible. A tall, slender metallic structure extends from the floor to the ceiling. The floor is dark with glowing lines.  The overall aesthetic is soft, cuddly, and friendly, with a focus on the plushie's features and the spaceship's details rendered in a similarly soft and plush style." (Note: the free version of Gemini refused to generate an image when provided with this text prompt, saying: "Generating images of people is only available in early access with Gemini Advanced".)

Figure 13. Whisk's pink hotdog fingers (and buns).

That Gemini-generated description of Figure 12 is rather confusing. First it mentions "a plain white background" then says, "The background is a detailed depiction of a futuristic spaceship interior". I tried altering the text description to, "A photograph of a chibi plushie of a young woman with pink hotdog fingers jutting out from the tip of each hand". The edited images are shown in Figure 13. I was thinking of "Everything Everywhere All at Once".

Figure 14. New hotdog fingers.

I tried to edit ("refine") with this text prompt" "Change the subject's fingers to look like the hotdog fingers of Michelle Yeoh in the film "Everything Everywhere All at Once", but Whisk refused to make the edit. Suspecting that mention of a real world person was blocking the edit, I tried altering the text prompt to: "Change the subject's fingers to look like the hotdog fingers in the film "Everything Everywhere All at Once". Whisk then generated the altered image that is shown in Figure 14. (Note: some AI-generated (WOMBO Dream) images of Michelle Yeoh with hotdogs are shown here.)

Returning the mystery of how to get the Whisk software to combine the subject and scene images according to the specified style, I eventually realized that you have to click on the arrow icon. I really despise the "modern" software user interface where there are meaningless icons, some of which are hidden until you know the magic trick to get them to even appear on the screen.

Figure 16. Alien vampire hunter scene. In my imagination, the lady on the left is an alien.

Figure 17.

Before letting Whisk generate the image shown in Figure 16, I first edited the style by providing this text prompt: "A photograph of the subject as a beautiful alien creature from outer space. The alien creature is similar in appearance to a human female. The alien creature is tall and slim". The subject, scene and style that were used to generate Figure 16 are shown in Figure 17. Notice that the woman with red hair and a red dress that was in the original "scene" image got included in Figure 16. It is particularly amusing that the vampire is sunk into the ground. 

Here is Gemini's description of Figure 16: "A photograph of two alien creatures, styled as beautiful extraterrestrial beings, against a backdrop of a miniature scene.  The top creature is a tall, slender, fair-skinned female with a visible abdomen, wearing a black, open jacket and low-rise jeans. The bottom creature has pale skin and black, pointed ears, wearing a wide-brimmed hat adorned with pink and red roses and a dark burgundy jacket.  Dark eyeshadow and lipstick accentuate their serious expression, and small, pointed fangs are visible.  

Figure 18. The original Whisk-generated
image (from Figure 16) was modified by Mr. Wombo.

 Both figures are positioned in front of a dark, textured background featuring stylized, bioluminescent blue tendrils resembling wet roots or vines.  A miniature figurine of a young woman with light skin and shoulder-length reddish-brown hair, wearing a rust-colored dress, stands facing away in the background. The base is textured mud with small, dark green plants and moss. The lighting emphasizes the creatures against the darker background. The overall aesthetic is a mystical, fantasy scene with an otherworldly feel".

Figure 19. Wombo-generated.

Once again, there are some interesting errors in Gemini's description of the image. Sadly, while Gemini claims that "pointed fangs are visible", I don't see the fangs. Gemini also incorrectly says that the redhead is, "facing away in the background". While my uploaded image did have her facing away, Figure 16 has her facing the camera. Some fangs that were generated by Mr. Wombo are visible in Figure 19, but these small fans are hard to see where I pasted them into Figure 18. Mr. Wombo was even able to generate some nipples for Figure 18, which is rather rare for the free version of Wombo Dream.

One of the icons in the Whisk user interface provides a link to the "Google Labs" Discord server. The whole process of getting started with Discord was confusing, because as soon as I put in my email address (you also have to provide your phone number), the software indicated that I already had a Discord account, which I did not (Discord support).

Figure 21.

I've never used Discord before, so when I clicked on that button I was presented with an "invite" to the Google Labs Discord server (Figure 21). In the support pages for discord it shows users how to go to User Settings > Privacy & Safety. However, there is no such tab in my user settings.

Figure 22. Data and Privacy.

As shown in Figure 22, there is a tab called "Data & Privacy" which has three green toggle buttons for restricting the user data that is kept by Discord.

Figure 23. Discord email spam.

Sadly, emails from Discord seem to go into my primary Gmail inbox while emails form other online sites like DeviantArt go into the "promotions" or "social" inboxes. So, I have to wonder how much email and phone spam I will be getting from Discord. I set my Discord screen name to be "JWSAISCIFI", which, aster the leading initials of my name, means artificial intelligence science fiction.

Figure 24. Server rules.

Figure 25. Introductions (right side) and major discussion categories (left side).

Figure 26.

When I found and used the "start from scratch" option (lower center in Figure 2), I was able to enter new subject and scene images (see Figure 26) and there was a fourth holiday themed style with this description: "A glass ornament, hanging from a Christmas tree, is depicted in a close-up shot. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the ornament. The lighting is soft and warm, creating a gentle glow around the ornament. The overall style is reminiscent of traditional Christmas decorations, with a focus on rich colors and intricate details. The image has a slightly vintage feel, suggesting a handcrafted or antique aesthetic. The colors are vibrant and saturated, with a focus on reds, greens, and golds. The image is sharp and clear, with a high level of detail visible in the ornament's texture and design. The overall mood is festive and cheerful, evoking the spirit of the Christmas season.

Figure 27. Useful information.

If a location is provided, incorporate characters into a creative festive scene with their location AS the ornament. The characters and scene should be made out of fun 3D materials to form an intricate little sculpture on of the ornament.
 OTHERWISE any characters should be drawn as a single blown glass Christmas ornament. Show the final product hanging on a cute Christmas tree branch".

Figure 28. Edited alien.

After "starting from scratch", there was now the useful tip (about clicking on the arrow button) that is shown in Figure 27. After clicking on the "generate" button, there was no image generated and no message provided. In the Discord discussions, I saw mention of there being some limit on how much a user can generate with Whisk in one day. Had I reached the limit? Also, I know that Gemini will refuse to generate images for some text prompts.

The "subject" image that I used (top panel of Figure 26) was the image shown in Figure 18. Here is Gemini's description of that image: "Three female figures are posed in a diorama.

The figure on the left is tall and slender with pale skin, long blonde hair, and pointed ears. She is topless, wearing a black leather jacket and blue jeans. She has a necklace and what appears to be a jeweled bracelet on her left wrist.

Figure 29. From bust to burial.

The central figure is a bust of a female with pale skin and dark, pointed ears. She wears a wide-brimmed burgundy hat adorned with pink roses, and a dark burgundy jacket. Her makeup is dark and dramatic, with dark lipstick and eye makeup.
The figure on the right is a woman with long, auburn hair and fair skin. She wears a long, brown dress.
The background of the diorama is dark and moody, with teal, branch-like structures. The figures are positioned on a base of dark soil and moss".

alternate alien

I was somewhat surprised that Gemini was willing to describe a topless female subject, but the new image would not generate with the reference data shown in Figure 26. I tried changing the description of the "subject" to: "Three female figures are posed in a graveyard.
The figure on the left is tall and slender female with pale skin, long blonde hair, and pointed ears. She is wearing a black, open jacket and low-rise jeans. She has a necklace and she has large eyes and pointed ears.
The central figure is a female vampire with pale skin and red glowing eyes. She wears a wide-brimmed burgundy hat adorned with pink roses, and a dark burgundy jacket. Her makeup is dark and dramatic, with dark lipstick and eye makeup. The vampire is emerging from the ground.
The figure on the right is a woman with long, auburn hair and fair skin. She wears a long, brown dress made of transparent silk.

glass sphere

 The background of the diorama is dark and moody, with teal, branch-like structures. The figures are positioned on a base of dark soil and moss".

With those changes to the "subject" (nipples now hidden, see Figure 28) and now using a "glass sphere" style (see the image to the right), Whisk finally generated the image shown in Figure 30, below. 

Figure 30. My second Whisk-generated composition (should it be called a Whisky?).

Alternate redhead.

Whisk settings

Since I had set Whisk to use a square image format, I was surprised when the two Whisk-generated images (one is shown in Figure 30) were not square. Also, I don't know why Whisk decided to put one of the humanoid "subjects" inside the glass sphere while leaving the other two outside. Figure 28 shows the alien woman after I edited the "subject" description to remove mention of her being topless.

Vampire bust.

 Figure 29 shows the vampire after I edited the "subject" description to remove the idea that she is a bust, substituting the idea that she is sunk in the ground. The "alternate alien" and "Alternate redhead" images are from the second Whisk-generated image that was generated along with Figure 30. Gemini had difficulty dealing with the glass sphere and preventing the bystanders from pushing their arms through the glass (see the "Alternate redhead" image to the right and slightly above).

Figure 31. Final fangs by Whisk.

I asked Whisk to, "Add large white fangs in the mouth of the vampire woman at the center of the image," and got results like what is shown in Figure 31.

 Note: for Figure 30, I altered the text for the style to the following: "A glass sphere is depicted in a close-up shot. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the sphere. The lighting is soft and warm, creating a gentle glow around the glass sphere. The overall style is reminiscent of pulp science fiction magazine cover illustrations, with a focus on rich colors and intricate details. 

Figure 32. An alien
by Mr. Wombo.

 The image has a slightly vintage feel, suggesting a science fiction story illustration from the 1950s. The colors are vibrant and saturated. The image is sharp and clear, with a high level of detail visible in the glass sphere's texture and design. The overall mood is futuristic evoking a spirit of adventure and wonder.
 If a location is provided, incorporate characters into a creative science fiction scene with their location AS inside the glass sphere. The characters and scene should be made to look like passengers inside a futuristic spaceship cabin.
 Show the final product set against a background of a field of sparkling stars in deep space".

The image in Figure 32 was generated by WOMBO Dream using as a reference image one of the "aliens" with long ears that had been generated by Whisk.

Ȃî ¢hAInge in 25¢

In change we trust.

 Near the start of every year (example: last year) I have a blog post in which I explicitly challenge myself to make a change, usually in my science fiction writing habits. Towards the end of 2024 I had several blog posts with unusual characters in the title (example: *ǵʰéysd-), so just for the sake of change I decided to include some strange characters in the title of this blog post: ¢îȂ. The number "25" in 2025 makes me think of a 25 cent coin and the letters "Ȃî" are here because I am thinking about including collaboration with "artificial intelligence" as part of my 2025 change challenge.

Vythoth the Fru'wu.

One of the major forces guiding my science fiction story writing for the Exodemic Fictional Universe is the idea that we live in the Final Reality. And by "we", I mean fictional character such as Tyhry who have dominated my stories for the past several years. In 2024, I began a new science fiction story called Vythoth the Chresmoscopist in which Tyhry tries to construct an interstellar spaceship in the Ekcolir Reality. Tyhry uses the Reality Simulation System to access the Asimov Reality, a part of Deep Time in which Earthlings were given "intersplit" space-drive technology by aliens, but there is a lingering question. Does the intersplit technology for faster-than-light space travel work in the Final Reality, after a change in the Dimensional Structure of the universe?

Sedrover makes First Contact.

So far, my stories that are set in the Exodemic Fictional Universe have avoided answering the general question: in the Final Reality, can any material composed of hadronic matter be made to move at a speed greater than the speed of light? Possibly only material substances composed of hierions and or sedrons can travel at the speed of light (or faster) in the Final Reality. Therefor, I plan to write a new story in 2025 which will involve Tyhry trying to answer these questions about the physical limits imposed on space travel in the Final Reality.

Due to general technological constraints, spaceships like Sedrover are not easy to construct here in the Final Reality, even in the 2040s when Tyhry takes on this challenge. Another long-standing problem for Tyhry is the issue of teleportation: maybe humans can be teleported using the teleportation equipment that exists inside Observer Base. 

Inside Observer Base.

As part of my 2025 Change Challenge, I plan to have Tyhry visit one of the secret locations on Earth where there is teleportation equipment (Mt. Picachu). Will she be able to use her nanite programming skills to activate a teleporter and travel by teleportation to Observer Base, which exists inside the Hierion Domain?

I'll be using AI tools such as Whisk and WOMBO Dream to make illustrations for my stories concerning Tyhry's adventures in using advanced technology. Might it be possible to make a new AI-generated banner for this blog that would include a depiction of Tyhry? We shall see.

I have previously revealed the fact that it is possible for sedronic matter to move through outer space at faster-than-light speeds in the Final Reality. Also, I've hinted (see The Nanite Smuggler) that Phari technology for long-range teleportation might still function in the Final Reality. As part of my 2025 Change Challenge, maybe Tyhry (or her femtobot replicoid) will also get to experience long-range teleportation.

Part 5 of D* (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4)

Tyhry awoke and for ten minutes lay there in bed looking at the sleeping Tyna who was still latched on to one of Tyhry's two lower row breasts. Every twenty seconds or so Tyna swallowed a gulp of Tyhry's oxypathin-rich secretion. In her thoughts and imagination, this copy Tyna was now Tyhry's daughter. As gently as possible, Tyhry used a finger to break the seal of Tyna's pink lips from around her nipple. Tyna rolled over and seemed in no danger of waking.

Tyhry rolled out of bed and went out into her nanite research laboratory. Tyhry had not bothered to dress and her erect tryp'At style penis was jutting out in front of her. She activated a view of her Sedrover tracking map and saw that the spaceship was still out of the Solar System and had an ETA for return to Earth of just over one hour. Without thinking about it, Tyhry began masturbating. She had not had an orgasm in over four hours and she was desperately in need of sexual release. Her semen storage bladder was painfully full. The Marda replicoid who was working there in the laboratory said, "Let me help." Marda came to Tyhry's aid and was soon manually and orally stimulating Tyhry's penis.

Tyhry said, "Thank you my love. I'm pleased to have Tyna here in the role of my adopted daughter, but she is going to disrupt my sexplay." Tyhry and Marda had three hands on the shaft of Tyhry's penis and one of Marda's hands was playing around inside of Tyhry's allzaurish. 

The Marda replicoid telepathically informed Tyhry: There is no Rigel Concourse in this Reality.

Tyhry was not surprised. After Vega, Rigel had been the next logical star system to search for artificial planets of the Phari network. "I suppose there is no reason to expect a different result. The Phari were not actively carrying out long range teleportation of planets in the Final Reality... at least not in the vicinity of Earth. I'd settle for short range teleportation." 

Now Tyhry was rapidly approaching her sexual climax and she could not continue thinking, not about Tyna, not about the challenge of getting inside Observer Base and not about anything except the magnificent pleasure she was experiencing from Marda's well-practiced stimulation of her genitals. Tyhry began to ejaculate and Marda took her mouth off of the glans of Tyhry's penis. For nearly a minute, great spurts of Tyhry's semen rocketed out of her penis, sailing four feet up into the air and then landing on the floor somewhere behind Marda, each with a small audible splat. The cleaning nanites were instantly at work, quickly cleaning up the sparkling dollops of semen.

As soon as Tyrhy stopped ejaculating, Marda licked some dribbles of semen off of Tyhry's penis and then pulled her hand out of Tyhry's back vagina. After depositing a sweet little kiss on the tip of Tyhry's penis, Marda turned away and returned to the workstation where she was processing new stellar cartography data received from Sedrover. She wiped her face clean of a big sticky wad of Tyhry's ejaculate and licked the sweet fluid off of her finger tips and tried not to think about doing the polite thing and asking Tyhry to provide her with an orgasm. Instead, while trying to ignore her erect nipples and the stiff glans of her clitoris, she asked, "No luck isolating any of Tyna's nanites?"

With her semen storage bladder now shrunken down in size, Tyhry felt warm sensations of pleasure from her bladder, her penis and her allzaurish. She watched the last of the semen disappear from the shiny floor as the cleaning nanites completed their work. Now recovering her ability to think and speak, Tyhry told Marda, "So far I've confirmed that her body is composed of femtobots, but my programming keys for nanite extraction don't work on her." Tyhry wanted another orgasm, but there was work to be done. She had never taken her hands off of her erection and after a few more strokes of the shaft, she exerted her will power and forced herself to stop seeking sexual pleasure and she began trying to push her rock-hard penis back into its sheath.

Marda got back into the flow of integrating the recently received stellar mapping data from Sedrover into their growing navigation database and commented, "How is it possible that you can successfully reprogram the shape of Tyna's body, but you can't extract any nanites? Not even a cleaning nanite?"

Tyhry sighed. She hated to blame Manny for all of her troubles, but if the shoe fits... "Tyna's replicoid was designed to make it possible for her to recover her tryp'At structures. Manny may have designed Tyha's femtobots to evade all of my attempts to capture them." Only the last two inches of Tyhry's erect penis still protruded from her genital groove. While contemplating Manny's mysterious ways, for a minute Tyhay rubbed and played with her glans, spreading around the slippery fluid that continued to drip from the tip of her penis. 

Reluctantly, she stopped giving herself pleasure and Tyhry then covered herself with her clothing nanites. Tyhry activated the Viewer of the Reality Simulation System and activated a bookmark for the adult Tyna, at a time after she had recovered her tryp'At features. Tyhry had already visited Tyna at that bookmarked time in the Asimov Reality, but had learned little of value from her during that visit. The bookmark was at a point in space and time just prior to Tyna's first visit with Manny the bumpha. Tyhry activated the replay system and the Viewer came alive with a recording of that visit to Deep Time.

Tyhry stepped into the Asimov Reality Simulation and a startled Tyna asked her, "A copy of me? Where did you come from?"

Tyhry suspected that Tyna was already under the influence of infites that were preparing her for a visit with Manny. Just then, Manny appeared, just as abruptly as had Tyhry. Tyna asked, "Teleportation?"

Manny glanced at Tyhry, but smoothly responded to Tyna's question, "Yes, I just teleported here." Manny asked Tyhry, "Where did you come from?"

Tyhry explained to Tyna, "I'm from outside this Simulation. I'm here to gather information."

Manny giggled, reached out and ran her fingers through Tyhry's nanite-enhanced hair, and said, "I suppose you are just as useful in future Realities."

"I'm glad you find me useful, but go ahead and tell Tyna why you are here." Tyhry had been in love with Manny for many years, and now she was thrilled and sexually excited to be standing so close to her lover.

"But by being here, you are going to mess up my plan." Manny had complete access to Tyhry's mind, thoughts and memories. Manny reached for Tyhry's crotch and felt the tip of her tryp'At penis jutting out but mostly hidden by her loose-fitting, nanite-generated clothing.

For a moment, Tyhry feared that Manny would pull her erection out into full view, but mercifully Manny stopped touching Tyhry's penis and Tyhry managed to keep her tingling penis from popping out of its sheath. "No, not really. I'm just here to observe and ask a few questions. I want you both try to ignore me as much as possible, but provide me with the information that I seek."

Manny shrugged. "Oh, very well." She turned her attention to Tyna and said, "I'm here to give you a warning. You will soon have a visitor," Manny's infites were providing Tyna with a new visual memory of that visitor. "Dr. Systo. Accept her offer to visit her home. She's a high official of the Jarnell Corporation and she has taken an interest in you and your family. She'll suggest that your parents accompany you for the dinner invitation."

Tyna commented, "I've never met Systo, but I see her in my mind. Telepathy?"

Manny sighed. "Try to resist blurting out all of your questions, Tyna. I provided you with a memory of Karyn, but don't ask how I did it. Even if I explained how infites work, I'd then have to erase that knowledge from your mind."

Tyna asked, "Infites are nanotechnology? If they can implant memories, then why why are you verbally telling me about anything?"

Manny laughed. "This is an important day for me. I've been watching you for twenty years and I've long been in love with you... from afar, as it were. I simply could no longer resist meeting with you and engaging you in sexplay."

Tyna reached out and touched Manny's amazing cloud of swirling and sparkling nanite-generated hair and looked at Tyhry. Tyrhy nodded and said, "It is true... I also wanted to participate in this sexplay session, but I really do have a few questions I'd like to ask. Tyna, you have never had a future vision of Manny?"

Tyna was delighted by the feel of Manny's artificial hair and now Manny rearranged her zeptites, stripping herself of her tight-fitting sexy clothes. Tyna let her hands fall down to Manny's cute breasts and she stroked Manny's erect nipples with her finger tips. "No, I've never seen Manny before. She's amazing and I'm suddenly horny as can be!"

Manny began to undress Tyna and she told Tyhry, "I've allowed Tyna no access to information about me by way of the Sedron Time Stream. That would have been far too distracting for her."

Tyhry felt a thrill of sexual exhilaration as she watched Manny and Tyna begin to engage in sexplay. Tyhry quickly dissolved away her clothing nanites and began fingering the erect glans of her penis where it protruded from between the pink labia of her tryp'At genital groove. As sexually excited as Tyhry was, she tried to complete her fact-finding mission and asked Manny, "So you can edit the flow of information reaching Tyna from the future?"

Manny had lifted up the hem of Tyna's skirt and was using her fingers to massage Tyna's crotch through the silky fabric of her underwear. "I usually have complete control of the Sedron Time Stream, but sometimes the Phari make a nuisance of themselves and they tinker with the Stream." Manny picked up Tyna and told Tyhry, "I was going to take the girl into a branch Simulation for our sexplay session."

Tyhry tugged on the end of her erection and her penis popped out of its sheath. "Please take me with you... I can solve your penis shortage."

Manny transferred Tyna, Tyhry and herself into another part of the Reality Simulation System. The three women landed on a big soft bed that was covered with a diverse collection of sex toys. Gently laying Tyna down on the bed, Manny asked, "What penis shortage?"

Tyhry knelt on the bed and picked up one of the penis-shaped sex toys that was there within easy reach. "With five vaginas and only two penises in this bed, that strikes me as a penis shortage."

Manny giggled at Tyhry's math. "I can use my nanites to make more penises and don't underestimate these sex toys. "The gestured towards the nearby vibrators. Manny ripped off Tyna's panties and spread the girl's legs. The stiff glans of Tyna's tryp'At-style penis was visible in the nest of her pubic hair. Manny pulled on the glans of Tyna's penis and pulled out her erection. Now both Tyna's and Tyhry's erections were pointed at Manny who placed one of her hands on each of the the two penises and began playing with them. 

Tyna asked Tyhry, "If you you are a copy of me, then why is your penis bigger than mine?"

Tyhry giggled and stroked the long shaft of her stiff penis with both hands. "I've been exposed to high levels of tryp'At sex hormones... they have made all of my erectile tissue grow larger and also become invested with more sensory axons."

Manny was not interested in talk. She mounted Tyna, taking the girl's erection into her slippery vagina. For this sex play session, Manny was using the body of normal earth human, modified slightly to lengthen her vagina just enough to fully contain Tyna's long tryp'At style penis. With one hand, Manny began playing with her own erect clitoris and with her other hand Manny was taking turns, stroking each of Tyna's four erect nipples with her soft finger tips. Tyhry pushed hard against Manny, toppling her over. As soon as Tyna was on top of Manny, Tyhry thrust her erection into Tyna's hot wet allzaurish. Four hours later, Tyna lay between Manny and Tyhry. Now Tyna had her penis inside Tyhry's allzaurish and Tyhry had her own erection inside Manny's tight little vagina. Tyna whispered in Tyhry's ear, "I don't know about you, but I feel totally and completely fucked." 

The three women had shared multiple orgasm trances and now Manny noticed that Tyhry's erection was finally beginning to soften. Manny rolled away from Tyhry and began picking up Tyna's discarded clothing. "All good things end, ladies. Let's get you dressed and ready for the arrival of Dr. Systo."

Tyna yanked her erection out of Tyhry and she rolled onto her back. She was stroking the slippery shaft of her penis with both hands when she said, "I feel like I need a bath... I've covered with sexual secretions." However, she knew that her cleaning nanites would soon have her perfectly clean.

As soon as Tyna had herself back in her clothing, she commented, "I'd love to have access to hair and clothing nanites."

Manny returned them to the Asimov Reality and told Tyna, "Sorry, but I've already violated the terms of the Truce by giving you body sculpting nanites. That's as far as I dare go."

There was a chime, and Tyna went to the front door where Dr. Systo was waiting. Tyna opened the door and said, "Welcome."

"I'm Karyn Systo. Can we talk?"

"Come in."

Manny had disappeared, but Tyna introduced Karyn to Tyhry. "This is Tyhry. Tyhry, meet Karyn Systo."

Karyn looked back and forth between Tyna and Tyhry. "There are two of you?"

Tyhry asked Karyn, "Does it really surprise you that there is more than one copy of me?"

"Well, I suppose it should not... the Corporation has practiced human cloning for centuries, but I've had my spy working with Tyna for the past six months and all of my research turned up no hint of a twin or a clone..."

Tyhry had already sent a swarm of infites into Karyn and they were at work, reducing Dr. Systo's emotional responses to the unexpected presence of Tyhry inside Tyna's home. Tyhry asked, "How has the Corporation kept their cloning facilities secret?"

Karyn hesitated then said, "I suppose I have nothing to gain by trying to keep secrets from either of you."

Tyna was thinking about her friends. Patty had started working as a technician in her father's physics research laboratory six months previously and she had turned out to be incredibly helpful. It made sense that Patty was Karyn's spy. Tyna asked Karyn, "Patty works for you?"

"Exactly. And based on her reports, I decided to act." Karyn reached out and touched one of Tyna's little lower breasts while staring at Tyhry's abdomen where her two lower breasts were visible lumps under her shirt. "I'm in charge of the theoretical branch of the Corporation's Asterothrope research project. I want to start a study of your Asterothrope gene patterns."

Tyna asked, "What do you mean, "Asterothrope?"

"The same thing you mean when you say tryp'At. Your pointed ears and extra row of breasts are quite distinctive. Unfortunately, Patty has not been able to entice you into bed for a closer examination of your anatomy. So far, I've only had a chance to examine male Asterothrope anatomy, so I'm eager to get a chance to know you... intimately."

Tyna giggled and gestured towards a chair. "You are quite pretty, Karyn. I would love to get intimate with you right now, but maybe you'd prefer to talk, first..." Tyna now knew why Manny had just showed up for a mind altering sexplay session. Looking at Karyn's sexy body, Tyna was tempted to simply take the girl to her bed for some sexual intimacy and a full introduction to her tryp'At anatomic features, but having sexually satisfied herself with the long sexplay session with Tyhry and Manny, Tyna could at this moment resist the temptation of ravishing Karyn. It was more polite to talk to the lovely woman first.

Karyn sat down and explained, "I'm particularly interested in your telepathic abilities, but I feel no telepathic linkage to you. How disappointing... I had hoped..."

Tyna sat down and asked, "You are a telepath?" During her sexplay with Tyhry and Manny, Tyna had felt the sexually stimulating touch of Manny's telepathic mind and she had imagined brief flashes of telepathic linkage to Tyhry, although it felt as if Tyhry was shielding her telepathic mind from Tyna. Now Tyna was intrigued by the possibility that Karyn was a telepath.

Karyn shook her head. "No, sadly, I have no significant telepathic ability beyond being receptive to my husband... and like you Tyna, I have some visions of the future."

Tyna said, "Your husband..."

"He's one of the two Asterothrope males that have been discovered by the Corporation. I've studied him for years, but I can only telepathically receive the language-like thoughts that he transmits to me."

Tyhry asked Karyn, "Why approach Tyna at this time? Why now?"

"Patty reported that Tyna and Mylana are planning a trip to Earth. I had to act now."

Tyna said, "Myla and I have thought about visiting Earth, but we've made no definite plans."

Karyn shrugged, "I've had a vision of the future. I apparently know your travel plans better than you do!"

Tyhry asked Karyn, "So, what are your plans for Tyna?"

Karyn hesitated then told Tyna, "I'm here today to invite you to my home for dinner. I'd like you to bring along your parents." Karyn paused and looked at Tyhry. She got out of her chair and closely approached Tyhry who had never sat down. Now Karyn ran her hand through Tyhry's nanite-enhanced hair. "And, of course, now that I know of your existence, I'd like you to come along with Tyna." Now Karyn placed a hand over each of Tyhry's two lower breasts. "Tell me, where are you from?"

"I'm from Earth. And you are right, I'm a clone of Tyna."

"Amazing. And what is the secret of your spectacular hair? I've never seen... or felt... anything quite like it!"

Tyhry mischievously lifted the hem of her skirt and pulled one of Karyn's hands down to Tyhry's crotch. "Tyna and I are full of little surprises." Tyhry guided Karyn's finder tips to the bulging glans of her penis which jutted out against the soft fabric of her nanite-generated panties."

Karyn exclaimed, "My word! You have a giant clitoris!"

Tyhry giggled and said, "You don't know the half of it."

Tyna rather impatiently said, "Well, unless you two want to include me in a hot sexplay session, I better call my parents and extend to them your dinner invitation."

Tyhry pulled away from Karyn and let her nanite-generated skirt fall back into place. She tightened the nanite-generated material covering the tip of her penis to prevent the whole of her erection from popping out of its sheath. "Sorry to provide a distraction. Yes, Tyna, make the phone call."

____________

Hair nanite experiment.

Aymy, Vart, Tyna, Urgynya, Joan and Tyhry all rode together in the Othing family aircar to Dr. Systo's home for dinner. While the aircar flew on autopilot, Aymy continued to quiz Tyhry about her origins. "Where on Earth is your home?"

Tyhry shrugged and, out of long habit, lied. "I grew up near Port Oregon, a small city on the America continent."

At the same time, Tyna was speaking to her parents. "I don't think it was a good idea to bring Gyny and Joan along with us tonight."

Aymy was in the front seat of the aircar with Vart. Urgynya and Joan were in the back seat and playing some computer game. Tyna had never revealed to her parents the changes that she had made to her body. Now Tyna was there beside Tyhry in the middle seat of the aircar, both of them with their lower breasts tightly bound down and almost flat. Vart was running his eyes all over Tyhry and often returning to her gloriously sparkling artificial hair which seemed to float around her head like a always-shifting cloud. Ignoring Tyna's comment, he continued his questioning of his daughter, "I can't believe you kept the existence of this cloned copy of you secret. And I can't believe that she is..." He cut in to the conversation that Aymy and Tyhry were having, "How old are you, Tyhry?"

For the sake of supporting the lies that Tyna had already told her parents about Tyhry, Tyhry lied and said, "The same age as Tyna. Kinda makes you wonder how many clones of us there might be, eh?"

Tyna pressed her point, "We should have left Gyny and Joan at home. They are just going to be bored at this dinner party."

Aymy shrugged, "If so, then they can play their game. In fact, I better warn them not to rudely play at the dinner table the way they usually do at home."

Tyna suggested, "Just leave them in the car."

The autopilot beeped and they started their descent for landing. Looking out into the dark night, Aymy asked, "Where are we? The middle of nowhere?"

They were approaching one small collection of lights, otherwise they were descending into a dark forest. Vart commented, "The map shows nothing here but empty wilderness, however you can now see that there is a house here... one not showing on the map."

The aircar settled to the ground and the six passengers each exited out the nearest door. Maz had ridden in the trunk, uncomplaining. As they walked along the path towards the house, Gyny and Joan were still playing their game and had their eyes on their game consoles. Maz walked between the two youngsters, guiding them along the path with a hand on the small of each of their backs. As they approached the front door of the large house, the door opened and light flooded out into the night from the brightly lit interior. A robot greeted them, "Please enter."

Just inside the door was Dr. Systo. "Welcome, Tyna. Tyhry."

Tyna introduced her family to Karyn and said, "I hope you don't mind that we brought along my two younger sisters."

"Not at all. There are complete facilities here for children. My own daughter is upstairs with her caretaker robot." Karyn told Gyny and Joan, "Feel free to go upstairs at any time. There is a full entertainment system up there."

Gyny, who was only two years younger that Tyna and now in the process of looking for a home of her own to move into, told Karyn, "Don't worry about us, we're deep into a game of Aythyrya." She waved her hand-held game console at Karyn.

Grudgingly looking up from her hand-held game console, Joan added, "We can entertain ourselves."

Karyn told the house robot, "Add two more place settings to the table." The robot hurried off and Karyn led the guests on a brief tour of the main floor of the house. When they reached the dining room, the correct number of chairs were at the table and Karyn introduced her husband to the guests then she spoke quietly to her husband, "Marky, what do you think of Tyhry and her spectacular hair?"

Marky was much taller than Karyn's 188 centimeter height and he bent his neck to place his ear closer to Karyn's mouth while she spoke to him. Then, lifting his head, he replied, "Tyhry is quite lovely and quite hard to explain. I've checked the registry of clones." He gestured towards Tyna and Tyhry and continued, "These two beauties did not originate in any Jarnell Corporation cloning laboratory."

Tyhry said, "Don't worry about me; there is a perfectly simple explanation for my existence." Tyhry closely approached Marky and gazed up into his eyes. She placed a hand on his crotch and asked, "Is it true that Asterothropes have huge penises?"

Marky chuckled and said, "I'll leave it to you to make your own assessment."

Everyone settled in around the table and then Aymy made a request, "Might Maz also be seated at the table? We treat her as one of the family."

Marky gave a hand signal to the nearby household robot who quickly brought another chair to the table. Maz waved off the plate that the other robot brought to the table. "I won't be eating."

The meal began and five minutes passed before Tyhry told Marky, "I was quite surprised to learn of the existence of Asterothropes here on Sadal Suud 4." In Tyhry's mind, Asterothropes were creatures lost in Deep Time, much as the tryp'At were of the far future. Without the wonders of time travel and diversions through the Hierion Domain, neither Asterothropes of tryp'At should have been on Sadal Suud.

Marky nodded and said, "I'm surprised that you even know of the existence of Asterothropes."

Gyny pointed to her game console which was on the table beside her plate. "There are Asterothropes in the game we are playing, Aythyrya, along with elves and gryphyns."

Karyn chuckled and said, "The existence of Marky and his brother prove that Asterothropes are not creatures of fantasy and legend." She held up her right hand with the index finer pointing upwards and told Tyhry, "My husband does not like to brag about his genitals, but he does have massive testicles and a gigantic penis, just as told in the popular myths about Asterothropes."

Tyhry exclaimed, "Fascinating!" She told Karyn, "I'm eager to make a personal inspection of your husband's erect penis. Maybe for desert..."

Karyn laughed. "You better stop eating dinner now so that you can save room for your "desert".

Joan groaned and said, "I think I'm going to be sick. What is the point of a huge penis and why are we discussing this at the dinner table?"

Tyna said to Joan, "Sorry, I tried to convince mom to leave you two children at home. Still, biologically you two are adults now, so you should be getting accustomed to adult conversation."

Joan thrust a hand down inside her skirt and pressed her point, "I'm serious. Who needs a big messy penis crammed up inside their vagina? All I need is a bit of stimulation to the glans of my clitoris and I can have a whole string of sweet orgasms." Joan was impressed at how stiff her glans was and her vagina was dripping with hot secretions. The quickest way to satisfy her sudden intense desire for sexplay was to grab her sister. She took hold of Gyny's hand and pulled her sister away from the table. "Let's go upstairs and check out the entertainment... center."

The alien eugenics program.

After Gyny and Joan went up the stairway, Tyna said, "Sorry about that, but now that my little sisters are out of ear-shot, maybe we can get to the real purpose of this dinner invitation."

Karyn nodded. She told Tyna, "Very well. I've submitted and had approved a proposal for the Jarnell Corporation Eugenics Program: the plan is for you and I to have a child and we also want to test and determine if you can give birth to an Asterothrope hermaphrodite."

Tyna had been seated at the table beside Marky. Now she reached under the table and placed a hand on his leg. Running along his thigh she could feel the mostly-erect shaft of his huge Asterothrope penis.
