Phobos Base

Tyhry is ready to visit Phobos

Below on this page is Part 2 of a science fiction story called "Someday Mars". In Part 1 of the story, Eddy and his daughter Tyhry learned about a lost story from the Writers Block that had been written by Francine Long in the Ekcolir Reality. Both Francine and her lover, Alice Turing, got themselves into trouble with the Overseers of Earth and both were sent to live at Observer Base. While still living on Earth, both Francine and Alice published stories that suggested the existence of secret alien bases inside Phobos.

Now Eddy and Tyhry enter into the Reality Simulation System, hoping to find Alice in the Ekcolir Reality and gain access to advanced alien technology that might allow the teleportation equipment at Observer Base to be reactivated in the Final Reality.

Someday Mars. Part 2. (Part 1)

Observer Base

We arrived at Observer Base in the Ekcolir Reality. I complained, "We already know that the teleporter codes in use here in this Reality don't work in the Final Reality." Even as I spoke, I noticed that I had been placed into a body that was only about 30 years old and I had been dressed in the nanite-generated clothing of Observer Base. Tyhry was wearing one of her jumpsuits, what I think of as her riding clothes; what she wears when riding her hand-crafted anti-gravity flyer through the Arizona desert. The Simulation System had apparently not bothered to alter her clothing. 

We were on the path that led from the Observer Base city center to the Writers Block. While I was looking at my altered body and my strange clothing, Tyhry began walking quickly towards the main entrance of the Writers Block. Speaking over her shoulder, she told me, "I know that, but I've always wanted to visit Mars. This is our chance. And we might find alien teleportation technology... new Phari technology that we have never previously had access to." 

Now that I looked more carefully, I saw that Tyhry seemed somewhat older. She now looked like a mature, middle-aged woman with full-sized motherhood-enlarged breasts. I wondered if it had been Manny who arranged for these changes to our appearance.

We entered into the commons area of the Writers Block and Tyhry looked around at the many occupied tables. It was early evening and the place was busy with people eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Tyhry pointed to a table and asked me, "Isn't that Vance?"

tryp'At telepathy

I followed her gesture and was surprised to see my favorite author. Then I remembered that this must be the Vance analogue named John, from the Asimov Reality. 

Now noticing the changes in her body, Tyhry looked down at her bigger breasts that pushed out against the fabric of her jumpsuit. She ran her hands along the contours of her hips and giggled. "Manny turned me into an old woman!"

I wondered why the difference in our ages had been erased for this visit inside the Reality Simulator. I could sense telepathically that Tyhry was certain that Manny the bumpha was responsible for these changes to our bodies, but I was trying to remain skeptical and not jump to an unproven conclusion. Suddenly I began to worry that Manny might have once again altered my genitals. I tried to look down inside my pants, but I could not be sure if there were any changes down there.

I looked up and saw that Tyhry was already halfway across the hall. I took a deep breath, collected my wits and followed along. She introduced herself to John Vance and then said, "And this is my dad, Eddy."

Vance was gazing intently at Tyhry and he asked her, "Are you a new arrival from Earth?" Vance hardly glanced at me and I was barely paying attention to Vance. Seated across the little table from him was a cute woman with big dark eyes that seemed to pierce right through me. I felt the suggestion of a telepathic connection to her mind.

Tyhry began explaining to Vance who we were and the complex concept that we were all inside a Reality Simulation System. The woman smiled at me and told me, "I'm Alice."

Tyhry stopped in mid-sentence and looked at Alice. "Alice Turing?"

Asterothrope anatomy

"Well, maybe you should call me Alice Turing the second." She took a deep breath and glanced down at her big breasts that seemed to defy gravity. Then she looked at me and winked.

I noticed that Alice had two rows of breasts, like an Asterothrope. Her top two breasts were unusually large for a human, but the smaller two below were more normal sized. Tyhry and I looked at each-other in confusion. Vance told us, "Alice got herself in trouble on Earth. This is a replicoid copy of the biological Alice."

I asked, "Grean made an artificial copy..." I could not complete my question. I felt silly for calling Alice artificial. As a replicoid, she could perfectly simulate the human body form.

"I suppose these big boobs do look artificial." Alice giggled and told me. "I don't mind existing as a replicoid. I've enjoyed reshaping my body. I can take on any body form that I choose." She took hold of one of her lower breasts and bounced it up and down. "That's how I attracted John's attention." 

Vance picked up Alice's free hand from where it rested on the table and pulled it to his lips. "You are a work of art, my love." He kissed her fingers. Vance told Tyhry, "Pull up a chair."

Both Tyhry and I pulled a chair over to the little table and we sat down. Tyhry continued with her explanation of why we were there. I had the suspicion that both Vance and Alice had telepathic abilities and could see the truth of what Tyhry was saying by directly examining her mind. Tyhry seemed to realize as much and she fell silent. Then she asked Alice, "Is Francine here? I thought when we found you, we would also find her."

in the Ekcolir Reality

With Vance still holding one of her hands, Alice ran the fingers of her other hand through her pretty red hair and then gave her head a disdainful shake. "Francine met another woman. The last I heard, she and Colleen moved to one of the satellite communities on the other side of the city. I haven't seen her for years." Vance patted Alice's hand.

I had to agree with Vance. Alice was very cute and her long red hair seemed to shimmer. Her double row of breasts was quite eye catching. A quiet had fallen upon us. Realizing that I was staring at her spectacular breasts, I looked up at Alice's face and saw that she was watching me. I told Alice, "It was your stories about Phobos that attracted our attention."

Alice said, "Grean put an end to my science fiction story writing hobby. The same happened to Francine. Now I have a new hobby." She turned her gaze back to Vance.

Vance laughed and asked me, "Have you ever seen a more lovely woman?" He slipped his arm around Alice's waist. "I'd been lonely since coming over from the previous Reality... all work and no play. But now since her arrival, Alice has made me very happy."

Colleen at Observer Base

For a time I asked Vance questions about the science fiction stories he had written in the Asimov Reality, but he seemed uninterested in that topic. Finally John turned his attention back to Tyhry and he said, "If what you say about us being inside a simulation is all true, then I suppose we should help you."

Tyhry smiled and said, "I'd be very grateful."

Alice told Tyhry, "If I understand your story, someone has taken pains to hide Phari technology from you." 

I nodded. "The Phari were allowed to play a major role in the Asimov Reality and that had important repercussions here in this Reality. However, in our Reality, the Phari are little more than an occasional plot element in a science fiction story."

She looked at Vance and said, "Maybe it would not be wise to help them. I could get in Grean's dog house again."

"To hell with Grean." John shrugged. "Now I'm curious. I don't recall ever hearing anything about an exploration of Phobos in the Asimov Reality. We can easily perform our own investigation and I don't give a damn if it ruffles Grean's feathers." He stood up and pulled Alice to her feet. "If you are nervous about this, you need not come along."

The Asimov Reality Simulator.

Alice took a firm hold on Vance's arm. "I'll go along. You've already made me jealous... the way you look at Tyhry."

Vance laughed, "She's a beautiful woman." He gestured around the room, "There are a dozen men and as many women here who can't keep their eyes off of her." He led the way out of the commons and then when we were outside, he activated a transmitter that was built into a ring he wore on a finger of his hand. "Hi, Wendy. Be a good girl and teleport us over to the Asimov Reality Simulation System."

A voice said, "Hold on." There was a pause during which Vance gazed intently at Tyhry and I imagined that Alice was trying to telepathically look into my mind. Her big eyes again seemed to look right through me. 

Alice told Vance, "Stop thinking about getting Tyhry into your bed. You're making me very jealous." 

Vance laughed and told Alice, "I won't even ask you to stop thinking about Eddy's alien penis."

Alice laughed and took hold of Vance's arm. He led the way and we all strolled along the path for about fifty yards. Finally, I heard Wendy the probot's voice again: "Grean says I should do as you say."

A moment later we were teleported through Observer Base and arrived right in front of the Asimov Reality Simulation Interface. Wendy was there, making adjustments to the Simulator's control settings. Vance asked Wendy, "Is there really a hidden base inside Phobos?"

Wendy shook her head. "Of course not. Phobos is just a crummy asteroid." 

I asked Wendy, "What about Phobos in the Asimov Reality?"

Grean (Image Credits)

Wendy replied, "Let me check." She looked into the AR Simulator's targeting system and examined Phobos. "Amazing! There is habitable living space inside that moon, although the air is a bit odd. I'm adjusting the atmospheric composition now. A word of warning, there is no artificial gravity in that hidden base inside Phobos. You ladies better tie back your hair."

Both Alice and Tyhry tied back their long hair using ties that Alice quickly fashioned from her clothing nanites.

Wendy powered up the AR simulation system and prepared it for use. "There is plenty of high-power equipment inside that base." Wendy was rapidly making many fine adjustments to the Simulation controls. "Okay. And now... I'll send you to what seems to be the teleportation chamber inside Phobos. It emits a targeting signal that will facilitate this insertion." Wendy continued to work at the controls. "Give me another minute to calibrate and test these coordinates... I don't want to send you into solid rock."

Tyhry said excitedly, "So there is a Phari teleporter inside Phobos!"

Alice shook her head. "This is all so strange. Long ago... I once had a vision of a Fru'wu base inside Phobos."

the Fru'wu

I asked Alice, "In your vision... you saw Fru'wu stationed on Phobos?" I quickly corrected myself, "Inside Phobos?"

Alice explained, "This is what got me taken off of Earth... when I published my stories about a Fru'wu artificial intelligence inside Phobos and suggested that the Fru'wu had long been in the Solar System." Alice thought about her past life on Earth and shook her head. "Let's just say I attracted too much attention with my stories. In my vision, I never saw any Fru'wu... nothing biological... so, I suppose I just assumed it was a Fru'wu base. I mean, that was the only type of alien anyone on Earth knew about."

Wendy had completed her system calibrations. She said, "I'm not detecting any Fru'wu inside Phobos of the Asimov Reality, or any other biologicals either. It seems to be an automated station. Are you ready?"

Alice looked at me and asked, "Do you know what you are doing? Can we really go into the Asimov Reality Simulation if we are already inside another Simulator?"

I laughed, "I know what you mean. All this jumping into nested Simulations seems like magic. However, I've come to view my use of Simulation technology as a handy tool for doing historical research. I suggest that you not think about the process too much... just go along for the ride." 

Wendy told us, "I'll be watching you. When you want to return, just let me know."

Vance nodded to Wendy, put his arm around Alice and walked into the Asimov Reality Simulation interface which was like a physical barrier between the Ekcolir Reality and the Asimov Reality. Tyhry grabbed my hand and pulled me along behind Vance and Alice. We popped through the infinitesimally thin interface and transitioned into another Reality.

the Phari observers

_______________

Suddenly we were inside a dimly-lit low gravity location that I could imagine being inside Phobos. A voice began speaking in a strange alien language. Alice said, "Just like in my dream vision!"

The voice now spoke so that we could understand. It was not English, but rather a language of the Ekcolir Reality that the Simulation System automatically translated for me and Tyhry. "Intruders, identify yourselves. How did you penetrate this base?"

Alice told us, "This is the Fru'wu computer."

The voice said, "No, this is not a Fru'wu facility."

Vance was drifting through the air towards the apparent source of the voice; an odd device of alien design. He asked, "This is a Phari facility?"

brain scan

The voice said, "Brain scans compete. Amazing. You all believe that this is a Simulation."

I had settled into the corner of the room where there was a convenient curved metal/composite bar that I could hold onto. With my sensitivity to motion sickness, I was feeling queasy in the low gravity. I asked, "Is it true that the planet Ver'la once existed here, close to Mars?"

The Phari AI replied, "Yes, long ago. This asteroid was used as an observation post to monitor the Nereid civilization on Ver'la. Then, after Ver'la was sent to the galactic core, this base was abandoned. Now I continue automatic monitoring of the planetoid you call Mars"

Tyhry asked, "What about travel to and from Ver'la? How was that accomplished? Is there still a functioning teleporter device here?"

The Phari AI said, "I'm not allowed to share advanced technology with primitive biologicals."

teleportation technology

Alice laughed. "This is all so wonderful! Just as I saw it in my dream vision." She took hold of Tyhry and pulled her through the air and off through a connecting corridor. Vance and I followed along, pushing ourselves off of the walls. "The teleporter is over here." Alice put her hands on the teleporter control panel. "In my dream vision, I was able to visit Mars."

Vance said, "That's fine for replicoids like us, but be careful... humans need air to breath."

The ancient AI said, "This remains a convenient base from which to monitor Mars, but nobody ever goes to that dead world. The teleportation equipment was designed for travel to and from Ver'la."

Alice was running her hands over the control console. A display screen lit up with a view of the surface of Mars. "I'm confused." Alice asked, "What is Ver'la?" She was again gazing at me with her big brown eyes.

I was feeling a growing telepathic rapport to Alice, but I could not read her thoughts. I sensed her emotions, which were fired up with wonder and excitement. Still, I kept having the sensation that she was looking into my memories. I explained, "In the distant past, Mars was the moon of a large planet, Ver'la."

Tyhry was now examining the teleportation controls. She asked Alice, "Do you know how this alien device can be activated?"

Alice showed Tyhry how to use the teleporter. "It is really quite simple." Suddenly, Alice teleported herself to Mars. We could see her in the targeting system's displayed image of the surface of Mars. She waved at us and then she was back, just as quickly as she had gone. She told Tyhry, "Simple as can be!" She turned towards Vance and said, "Of course, you are correct. These two humans would suffer and quickly die if they went to Mars. Even my replicoid body felt a terrible chill."

in the Ekcolir Reality

Tyhry said, "I still don't see how you activated the teleporter."

I suggested, "I bet Manny embedded the teleporter key inside Alice's replicoid body."

Tyhry said, "Now wait a minute. Are you saying that Manny planned this whole..." She looked at Vance and then back at Alice. "No, that's impossible. Unless..." Suddenly Tyhry grabbed onto both arms of Alice, which stopped Tyhry from drifting across the room as Vance and I kept doing. I bounced myself off a wall and then managed to grab onto Tyhry. Alice grabbed my arm to stop my momentum. When we all stabilized in this new configuration, Tyhry asked Alice, "Can you give me the nanites that you use to control the transporter?"

Alice asked, "What are you talking about?"

Now I placed my hands on the control panel. It responded to me as it had to both Alice and Tyhry. I tried to reactivate the teleporter and send Alice back to Mars, but nothing happened. Tyhry told Alice, "It appears that you are the only one who has the teleportation activation code. That code must be in your nanites. This is the same way that Grean makes it possible for Wendy to control the teleporter at Observer Base. If I could get your nanites back to my world... to Observer Base in my Reality..."

Alice shook her head, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"If Grean put teleporter control nanites into Alice, she did so without telling anyone else." Vance suggested, "However, there might be a way for us to find those nanites." He spoke to Wendy: "Bring us back to the Ekcolir Reality."

Wendy the probot

Wendy pulled us out of the Asimov Reality Simulation. Almost instantly, we were back inside Observer Base. Wendy asked Vance, "You intend to help Tyhry get the key out of Alice's body?"

Vance nodded, "There might be a way to do that. Wendy, I've seen you control nanites. Show Alice how to do it."

Wendy laughed. "I'm a probot. She's a replicoid. The means that I use to control nanites won't work for Alice."

I suggested, "Maybe Alice could come with us, back to the Final Reality."

Alice held tightly to Vance's arm. "I don't like the sound of that."

Vance said, "Nor do I." For a while, Vance just stared at Tyhry and then he licked his lips. Again I felt like Alice was searching through my mind, reading through my memories. Vance said, "I have another idea. Wendy, teleport us back to my office."

Wendy took us across the workshop to the teleporter. She adjusted the teleportation controls and sent us to Vance's office. Arriving in his office, Vance walked across the room and he took a small vial off a shelf. Turning back towards us, Vance said, "This is a nanite containment vial." He handed the vial to Alice. "Go ahead and open it."

Alice unscrewed the top of the vial. "Now what?"

Vance shrugged. "I thought maybe you were pre-programmed to hand the teleportation control nanites over to Tyhry, but apparently not. I have one more suggestion..."

Vance looked back and forth between me and Tyhry then he asked Tyhry, "How much do you want the teleportation control key?"

the Final Reality

"Well..." Tyhry shook her head. "It seems like a long-shot. There's no real reason to believe that Alice has any useful nanites in her body... or that they can activate the teleportation equipment in the Final Reality."

Suddenly I could see an idea inside Alice's mind. She was looking at me with her big brown eyes and I felt a wave of sexual excitement spread through my body. I looked at Vance and asked, "Are you suggesting..." I could not say what I wanted to say in front of Tyhry.

However, Tyhry had no trouble reading my thoughts. She laughed and said, "Let's try it."

I objected, "You can't be serious. There's no reason to think that-"

Tyhry told me, "Oh, shut up. Mom won't object to this little dalliance." She asked Vance, "Where should we do this?"

Vance pointed to the sofa and told Tyhry, "Alice and your dad can use this office. I'll take you to my apartment."

Alice asked Vance, "Do you think we can link up if we are that far apart?"

Vance nodded, "Just keep thinking of me." He kissed Alice long and hard on the mouth and then took Tyhry by the hand and departed.

Alice opened up the sofa into a fold-out bed, dropped the nanite vial on the bed, untied her hair and let it cascade down her back and told me, "Vance has bounced me around on this thing a few dozen times." She quickly shed her nanite-generated clothing and stood naked before me.

nanite vial

With Alice telepathically doing something inside my mind and me gazing at her beautiful body, I felt my penis filling up with blood. I was thinking about how I would explain this all to Zeta when I returned to the Final Reality. I stammered, "So... you do know how to control nanites."

"Of course." Alice began to flick away my clothing with little twitches of her fingers. "Everyone at Observer Base learns to control clothing nanites and feeding nanites. However, I'm still skeptical about the idea that Manny hid teleportation control nanites inside my body." She pulled me down onto the sofa bed and began playing with my erection. "If the four of us can link into a shared mind space, then maybe we can figure this out. For a moment she sucked on the tip of my penis, then she said, "At least we can have fun trying."

At first, I was simply captivated by Alice's double row of breasts and then I noticed that she had what looked to me like a large Asterothrope clitoris. I was becoming quite sexually excited and I could sense telepathically that Tyhry was at that moment happily playing with Vance's erect penis. Alice told me, "When I first sensed your mind I thought you were tryp'At. So I gave myself a tryp'At clitoris."

I said, "I've never... I thought tryp'At were hermaphrodites."

"Exactly." Alice's 'clitoris' quickly inflated and now I could see that it was a penis. For a moment she took her erection in her hand and gently stroked it. "But now I sense that you are not really tryp'At and you don't want me to have a penis." Using her ability to re-shape her body, Alice quickly shrank her penis back down and then the glans of her clitoris looked like Zeta's when swollen to grand size by sex hormones. "Okay, this could be fun. I see another woman in your mind. That's Zeta?" Alice slid my erection into her vagina and began working her way towards an orgasm. "Forget about Zeta. Let's have some fun."

in the Ekcolir Reality

I was enjoying the feel of Alice's hot and slippery vagina as it massaged my erection, then Vance's voice came from Alice's ring: "Tyhry is sure a horny little devil. She says she's close to having an orgasm."

Alice told Vance, "So am I. Let's go for it." Alice rolled us over and I began energetically thrusting my stiff penis in and out of her silky vagina. Alice was vigorously fingering her own clitoris and then suddenly we merged into a shared orgasm trance as spurts of my semen shot into her vagina. A moment later, the telepathic minds of Tyhry and Vance merged with us and I could feel Vance's penis hard and hot inside Tyhry. After moment of shared, intense pleasure, we all got down to business. Vance, Alice and I all had past experience with infites and nanites. Tyhry was there in our shared mind space making suggestions for how to extract the teleportation key nanites from Alice's body. My mind was telepathically deep inside Alice and I was struggling to understand the organization of her replicoid systems, however, I realized that Vance was also a replicoid and had a fairly sophisticated understanding of replicoid systems.

I noticed that Vance was no longer thrusting his erection in and out of Tyhry and I could sense that he and Alice were familiar with the process of forming synapex linkages to each-other. I stopped the pleasurable process of massaging Alice's vagina with my erection and rested against her double row of breasts. Soon the synapex linkages between Vance and Tyhry and between me and Alice allowed for a strengthening of our mind-links. With complete access to my mind, Alice now began sorting through the infite-generated memories that I had obtained from various sources including Ivory Fersoni, Yōd and Nirutam. I was adrift in the intense pleasure of my orgasm trance and only vaguely aware of what Alice was doing inside my mind.

Later, I came out of that orgasm trance and found Alice laying on top of me. Noticing that I had finally returned to normal consciousness, she sat up, picked up the nanite containment vial and handed it to me. She said, "You had the required information in your infites... Vance and I were able to figure out how to extract the control key nanites from my body." 

Ivory Fersoni

I held the vial in my hand and wondered if the nanites from Alice could really activate the teleporter at Observer Base in the Final Reality. I tossed the vial aside and ran my hands over Alice's amazing double set of breasts. We quickly rubbed up another orgasm and slipped back into a shared orgasm trance. Tyhry's mind was there again in our shared mind space. She asked: You have the nanites?

They are in the containment vial.

Good. I'm eager to test them.

Well, she was not too eager. Tyhry did not manage to get out of Vance's bed for another two hours. Finally, they finished their lusty sexplay and joined Alice and I back at the table in the commons room where we had first met Vance and Alice. The four of us lingered over brunch and then Tyhry kissed Vance goodbye. I told Alice, "Somehow I'm going to have to explain this to Zeta." Alice giggled and winked at me. Tyhry was holding the nanite vial. She nodded to me and took hold of my hand. I activated the RSS return system and we were suddenly back in the Final Reality.

Zeta's thoughts were back inside my head and I could sense that she was out on the back patio, in the hot tub with Anthony. Tyhry said, "Oh, that's not fair." She tossed the nanite vial to me and then ran outside and was soon in the tub. 

I noticed that I was back in my usual body and for a moment thought how nice it had been to be back in my 30-year-old body for a short time. Trying not to think about my sexual encounter with Alice, and how I would explain it to my wife, I went to my computer and put through a call to Rylla. She came on the vchat and instantly noticed the nanite vial. "Success?"

I shrugged, "Probably just another disappointment in store for the mind clones. There's no reason to think that these nanites can break the lock that is on the Eternity teleporter equipment."

There in Perth, Rylla called to Marda and told her about the new nanites. Marda was already linked telepathically to Amiante at Observer Base. I gave a quick summary of the trip to Phobos. While I was speaking, Marda interrupted and said, "They were able to teleport the Alice nanites over to Observer Base."

I glanced at the nanite vial where it sat on my desk. It looked unchanged, but now Alice's nanites were gone, having been teleported to Observer Base. Rylla said, "I'll expect your full report, but I'm off to the lab. Later."

Marda told me, "I'll pass along word of what happens when they try the Alice nanites on the teleporter at Observer Base." Marda cut the vchat and I picked up the vial. I thought about Alice and her spectacular breasts. 

Zeta came inside, hot and flushed from the hot tub and a sexplay session with Anthony. She led me into our bedroom and said, "I'm worried that if they reactivate the teleporter then Nora will leave Earth." She quickly had me undressed and in our bed.

nanites

During the next few days at Observer Base, the "Alice nanites" were thoroughly tested, but they could not break the lock that prevented the Observer Base teleporter from functioning normally. Zeta and I had resumed our telepathy experiments but Zeta and I decided to cut back on the clytykynyn and oxypathin, fearing that the new formulation of the hormones was too addictive. Still, even without big doses of hormones, we were now making fast progress towards the goal blocking out Tyhry from our minds while Zeta and I were in a shared mind space.

Three days after the visit to Phobos, after our most recent telepathy experiment, Zeta told me, "Your mind has really changed. You've suddenly gotten much better at controlling your telepathy."

I was still feeling some guilt about what had happened inside the Reality Simulation with Alice. I'd told Zeta the facts about my visit to Phobos, but I had not given her any details about my sex-capades with Alice. Now I told Zeta, "It was instructive for me to see inside those two replicoid minds... Vance and Alice.... They had amazing control over their thoughts and emotions."

Zeta said, "It is frustrating. Tyhry mentioned that she had met Vance, but she refuses to tell me exactly what happened."

I suddenly realized that Zeta was unable to "see" into either my mind or Tyhry's. Zeta was unable to access our memories of the orgasm trances we shared with Vance and Alice. Somehow, for the first time in our lives, Tyhry and I were both able to telepathically block Zeta and keep her from accessing our memories. We both now had the ability to keep secret the details of the trip to Phobos.

replicoids

Later, via vchat, I told Rylla, "So now I can keep secrets from Zeta."

Rylla laughed. "I doubt it. I know you. You'll still tell her everything."

"I suppose you are right. Anyhow, I'm not really ashamed of what happened. Somehow my intimate telepathic contact with Alice's mind gave me improved control over my telepathic abilities."

Rylla sighed. "Obviously, Manny gave you and Tyhry the bookmark for that little adventure with Alice and Vance. She must have wanted you two to learn better telepathy control from those replicoids."

"You may be right." I asked, "Do you think Tyhry and I can now teach Zeta how to control her telepathic mind?"

Rylla told me, "You are so clueless."

I asked, "What?"

Rylla explained, "When Tyhry was growing up, her telepathic interactions with Zeta taught Zeta how to control her telepathic outputs. She's been using that ability for years. Her only problem in exercising telepathic control was when linked to your mind... you created a hole that allowed Tyhry entry to your shared mind space."

"I don't believe you."

"And Zeta has long used her ability to prevent you from accessing her shared thoughts with Nora when they are making love."

"That's not true. I just give them privacy when they engage in sexplay."

Rylla muttered, "So clueless."

I added, "Anyhow, I don't mind if Zeta makes love to Nora. That does not diminish her love for me."

"I bet you don't even have a clue as to how you are now able to block out Zeta from your memories."

"You are right. It took me a couple of days to even realize I could do it."

Rylla nodded. "Manny always has a reason for what she does." She broke off the vchat.

I sat there at my computer, looking at the bookmark that Tyhry and I had used to visit the time period in the Ekcolir Reality when Alice and Vance were there at the Writers Block. I wondered what else those two replicoids could teach me about telepathy. Then I deleted that bookmark. The temptation to return to Alice was too great. With the bookmark destroyed, I sighed in relief. It was better for all involved if Alice and Vance were left to each-other. Tyhry and I had plenty of other adventures awaiting us in other parts of the Reality Simulation System.

Just then, I felt a subtle discontinuity and I looked around the living room. There was Manny, using the human female bodily form that she had used back when she had first revealed herself to me. She did not look quite real, as if she was putting on an act, pretending to be human... just to please me. She told me, "Congratulations. I feel like you finally qualify to be called a telepath. That was a lot of work!" 

I asked, "Are you always watching me?"

Manny laughed. "I don't have the patience for that. From my perspective, you humans seem to live in slow motion. It took you 20 years to accomplish with your telepathic mind what Zeta did in the first year after Tyhry was created."

I asked, "So Rylla is right about all this? Zeta has long been able to block me out of her... her private thoughts?"

"Of course. Close association with Tyhry's powerful telepathic mind quickly taught Zeta how to block telepathic linkages. Zeta could not have remained sane without that ability. In fact, most of the work was done while Tyhry was still in the womb."

"Then why has Zeta pretended to still be trying to develop the ability to block out Tyhry?" I wiped some perspiration from my brow. Manny was looking very sexy and I had the sensation shat she was in my head, activating my sexual responses in much the same way that Alice had done.

Manny replied, "I suppose she did not want to make you feel like you were a failure. As long as you were both struggling... Anyhow, I was eventually able to find you a better teacher than Zeta. I should have known that it would take a tryp'At mind to solve your particular problem."

"So, Alice has tryp'At genes, not Asterothrope?" I suddenly noticed that Manny was standing very close to me and my penis was very stiff inside my pants.

"It is not a matter of one or the other. The tryp'At were crafted by making use of important Asterothrope gene patterns. Anyhow, Alice was able to use her nanites to adjust your brain. Call it nanosurgery, if you like." Manny placed a hand on my erection, then began stroking it with her finger tips.

I was thinking about what Rylla had said, about Manny always having a reason for what she did. Now Manny sat down on my thighs and started unbuckling my belt. I reached out with my mind and realized that I could not telepathically sense either Tyhry or Zeta. I realized that Manny had shifted us to a secluded spot within the Simulation System. She took hold of my penis and said, "Now we can enjoy ourselves."

I told Manny, "I did not work for years to control my telepathic mind just so that I can cheat on Zeta."

Manny the bumpha

"Relax, lover." Manny told me, "Zeta and I have been lovers for many years. Now it is your turn to have some fun." Pulling up the hem of her skirt, she slid my erection inside her hot vagina. "For years Zeta has been aware of all the many sexual thoughts you have had about me. She won't be bothered by our sexplay as long as you don't make a big deal about how much you enjoy it."

I was enjoying the feel of Manny's tight vagina as she massaged my erection. I complained, "I don't understand why you... a bumpha... has to be so horny all the time."

Manny explained, "I've existed across a billion years. My work never grows old. I'm always falling in love with my latest creations... trying to find new and better ways for people to live and love. I've spent a lot of effort designing you and deploying you in the field... why shouldn't I finally get to enjoy the fruits of my labor?"

I have to admit that Manny did seem to enjoy herself and I know that I did. When she finally sent me back home, tossing me out of that corner of the Reality Simulation System that she had used for our secret rendezvous, I arrived back in my living room, feeling like I had been given a serious workout. From my perspective, I had just spent six hours making love to Manny inside the Simulator. I looked at the time. I saw that I had only been gone for half an hour, real time. Now I could again sense the minds of Tyhry and Zeta. They were out in the hot tub with Anthony. For a moment, I contemplated the possibility of joining them, but then I got busy with the index of the Reality Simulator. 

I knew that there were many Simulated adventures awaiting me, and I'd never again have to worry about disappointing Zeta with my investigations, even if I got myself into sticky situations with sexy women like Alice. I now had the ability to protect Zeta from her jealousy, the same way she did with me.

Observing Mars

Pink Mars

 Back in April of this year I started writing a new science fiction story called The Cythyrya Investigation. I called the first chapter of that story a prelude. So, what do you call a prelude to a prelude? In this case, the answer to that question is "Someday Mars" (see below), which is a tip of my cap to the story "And Someday to Mars" by Frank Belknap Long which was published in the February 1952 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories.

That was the same issue of Thrilling which featured "Abercrombie Station" by Jack Vance as the cover story. Jack Vance was able to almost completely avoid writing goofy stories about life on the planets Venus and Mars (an exception in 1953: Vandals of the Void). For "Abercrombie Station" and its sequel, "Cholwell's Chickens", Vance imagined a distant exoplanet (Codrion) and made that world the site of a human cloning operation. Our Solar System was too small for Vance's imagination.

Barbara and Jim

"And Someday to Mars" depicts human settlers on Mars and the story reads like it was set in someplace like Iowa. Jim Kirk Westrum was the first man to reach Mars... arriving in a desperate early attempt to cross the vast interplanetary distance from Earth. Now he is an old man and he is unable to distinguish reality from his fantasies.

Jim sometimes fantasizes that his beloved girlfriend Kathy will arrive on the next spaceship from Earth. However, Kathy died long ago on Earth. Finally, one day, Kathy's young relative, Barbara arrives on Mars. Barbara remembers how her Great Aunt Catherine used to imagine that Jim would return to Earth, but Catherine died before there was regular spaceship travel between Mars and Earth.

1917 in the Ekcolir Reality (source).

For my tribute story, "Someday Mars", I imagine that in the Ekcolir Reality there was an analogue of Frank Long who was named Francine Long. In 1952 of the Ekcolir Reality, Francine published a story called "Someday Mars". That science fiction story was about a space elevator being built on Mars. Yes, in the Ekcolir Reality, the pace of technological progress was somewhat faster than here in our Reality.

"Someday Mars" is set in the future, almost two decades from now. So how can Eddy (who narrates "Someday Mars") write this story here in 2022? That is somewhat a mystery. Somehow Eddy is able to obtain information from the future. Eddy suspects that his grandson, Brak, is able to send information back through time using the Sedron Time Stream.

from the 1939 film, Elevator to Paris

In 1952 of the Ekcolir Reality it had become possible to build space elevators because the required technology was provided by the alien Fru'wu.

The Ekcolir Reality followed close on the heels of the Asimov Reality, which was given that name because of the role that Isaac Asimov played in bringing it into existence. 

Readers of "Someday Mars" might also benefit from reading the 2019 story "A Phari Tale", but "Someday Mars" is intended to be a stand-alone story. The story begins as Eddy and his wife, Zeta, are engaged in a telepathy experiment...

Someday Mars. Part 1.

The Mind Clone Network.

Zeta was triumphantly mounted astride my hips with my erection deep inside her. I was trying to ignore the way she was playing with swollen glans of her clitoris. I was having unhappy flashbacks to the days when Zeta had a penis. I kept my attention on Zeta's breasts. She was wearing a bra that Tihri had made for her, which concealed her big jutting nipples. Zeta telepathically corrected me: Tyhry.

Yes, now our daughter's name had been officially changed to Tyhry. Extensive research by Stacy at the Writers Block had made clear that Tyhry's namesake had originally been called Yrhyt, a rather conventional tryp'At name which had been translated into English as "Irhit". 

My hands were up under the silky fabric of the bra, which used anti-gravity hierions to seemingly make Zeta's big breasts float high on her chest without any sag. Tyhry had made the bra with hierions obtained from Observer Base. It had been discovered that the Observer Base teleporter could send hierions to Earth, but not conventional matter.

For our current experiment, Zeta and I were linked by multiple synapex connections and we were practicing the art of shielding our thoughts from Tyhry. Tyhry had gone out back to work on her flyer, another application of anti-gravity hierions. Tyhry loved to race through the desert on her little flyer, skimming aver the ground at high speed. For safety's sake, Zeta insisted that Tyhry always wear a helmet while out flying through the desert. 

Zeta's Gamma endosymbiont (image source).

In addition to the synapex linkages between our nervous systems, Zeta and I were also heavily dosed with large amounts of clytykynyn and oxypathin that had been provided to us by Rylla. We were experimenting not with the original molecular forms of clytykynyn and oxypathin, but rather new derivatives that Rylla had recently designed and formulated in her laboratory. These versions of the hormones could be quickly absorbed into the blood, could activate their receptor and could also be relatively rapidly metabolized and inactivated. Our hope was that their effects should more quickly fade away, allowing us to quickly return to normal consciousness after sharing an orgasm trance. During our shared orgasms, my mind was completely open to Zeta's telepathic inspection and we could work together in an effort to block out Tyhry.

However, this new experiment was not working. First, the new hormones had dramatic effects on our sex organs, causing our erectile tissue to fill with blood and just keep growing larger and larger. Rather alarmed by the size of the head of my penis, I had quickly hidden it from sight inside Zeta. The bra had covered up Zeta's nipples, but her big clitoris was now the center of Zeta's fascinated attention. As for the telepathy part of the experiment, there within our shared mind space, we had quickly entered into a spectacular shared orgasm trance, but then stray thoughts of Rylla kept leaking into our minds. I tried to stop myself from thinking about Rylla and the new discoveries she kept making in her chemistry research lab. I was working hard to align my thoughts with those of Zeta so that we could weave an impervious shield that might protect our thoughts against Tyhry's powerful telepathic mind. And inside Zeta, her Gamma endosymbiont was also helping us with that effort. However, I kept getting feedback from Tyhry which let me know that she could still follow my thoughts no matter how hard I tried to prevent her from linking to me telepathically. Finally, Zeta told me: Rylla is trying to contact you.

synapex linkage

Feeling foolish for not having realized the truth myself, I gave up trying to shield my telepathic mind from the outside world. Quickly the shared mind space that Zeta and I had constructed began to crumble; I could sense Rylla's mind pattern and I knew that she had news from Observer Base. I pulled my hands from inside Zeta's bra, breaking the synapex connections between my finger tips and her nipples. 

Zeta broke our synapex connection that had linked our nervous systems through my penis and her vagina. Pulling off my swollen penis, Zeta sprawled across the bed beside me. I kissed her belly (and tried but failed to ignore her big erect clitoris) and then rolled off the bed, heading for my computer. Zeta called after me, "Robe!"

I grabbed my robe and covered up my swollen penis and its red tip where just a minute earlier my body had been physically linked to Zeta's nervous system by axonal connections. A moment later, in the living room, I settled in at my computer and glanced at the red tips of my fingers. I successfully controlled my habit of using the computer touch pad and by using voice commands only, I opened a vchat link to Rylla. Her daughter Marda was already in the channel and as soon as she saw me, Marda told me, "Tyhry will want to hear this, too."

____________

 Sometimes Tyhry met Rōxzyl inside the Reality Simulation System for some steamy oral sex, but that involved some risk. Tyhry had promised her father that she would never use the RSS unless she was with him, so she kept her secret use of the Simulator to a minimum. Usually when Tyhry and Rōxzyl wanted a quick orgasm they simply linked telepathically. 

However, "simply" was not really the best description of their telepathic sexplay session because Rōxzyl preferred a three way with Anthony and Tyhry preferred to be wearing her massaging underwear. Tyhry still had not gotten up the nerve to ask Anthony to make love to her while she wore the kinky underwear. She worried that the rather conservative robot would think her perverse.

Now Tyhry was getting the pleasure of flying while she engaged in telepathic sexplay with Rōxzyl. At the same time, Tyhry would occasionally transmit a brief telepathic signal to her father just to let him know that she could still read his thoughts. For the most part, Tyhry tried to keep out of her parents minds, particularly when they were having sex. Tyhry had become bored with her parent's sexplay about the time when she had learned how to enter into an orgasm trance with Rōxzyl. For the two mind clones, their orgasm trance was a permanently sparking mindlink that could be intensified by either linking in additional telepaths or by physical stimulation to their erectile tissues. For spicy sexplay, sometimes Rōxzyl invited other telepaths from the Asimov Reality to join in. At the moment, their sex play involved only Gamma, Tyhry, Rōxzyl, Tyhry's massaging underwear and Rōxzyl's favorite vibrator which Tyhry could easily imagine was inside her own vagina. Tyhry's sister Gamma, although residing safely inside Zeta, had asked to tag along and share in this sexplay session with Tyhry.

Tyhry was a bit worried that she might someday crash her flyer while having sex. When she was in a state of extreme sexual pleasure and her physical surroundings tended to fade from her conscious awareness. As a safety measure, she'd programmed her flyer to automatically rise higher off the ground unless she actively kept cranking a hand wheel that lowered the flyer towards ground level. Tyhry, an expert multitasker, had all these irons in the fire, but then Tyhry suddenly felt Rōxzyl's vibrator slip out of her vagina and Rōxzyl said: Mom's calling. I have to go.

 Tyhry told Rōxzyl: Catch you later, lover.

Gamma added: Thanks for letting me join in the sexplay, Rōxzyl.

The telepathic minds of Tyhry and Rōxzyl were never totally disconnected, but now Rōxzyl dwindled to a warm cloud at the back of Tyhry's mind. Gamma told Tyhry: Thanks for sharing Rōxzyl with me, sis. 

Then, with Rōxzyl no longer dominating her telepathic mind, Zeta's sexual thoughts suddenly blossomed inside Tyhry's mind and Tyhry could "see" just how much her mother's erectile tissue had swollen under the influence of the new sex hormones. Without thinking, Tyhry exclaimed: Holy cow, mom, it looks like you have a penis!

Adrift in her own orgasm trance, Zeta barely noticed Tyhry's startled commentary. Zeta was trying not to be distracted by thoughts of Rylla and was making use of her telepathic relationship with Gamma for the purpose of blocking out Rylla from the joint mind-space that was at that moment being created by Eddy and Zeta. Feeling her mind pushed away by Zeta, Tyhry shifted her telepathic attention to her father and now she could sense that Rylla was in vchat with Eddy. Tyhry "heard" Marda mention her name. Tyhry now realized that Rylla and Marda had big news to share. 

Eddy's telepathic mind was almost completely focused on Zeta and their shared orgasm trance. He was struggling to listen to Rylla and Marda, but he was imagining pushing his erection back inside Zeta. Tyhry could telepathically "see" the brain circuits inside her father that were linking his mind to Zeta's. Knowing that Eddy's mind could never use Gamma in the way that Zeta could, Tyhry knew that these sorts of telepathy experiments were wasted time. Well, not entirely wasted. Zeta was almost out of her mind with sexual pleasure. Tyhry plucked at the telepathic linkage between her parents, a small adjustment that cause their shared mind-space to begin to fragment.

____________

our Reality Chain

I could telepathically sense that Tyhry was about five miles away from the house. Tyhry told me telepathically: I'm on my way home. I fully opened my mind to Tyhry so that she could efficiently monitor my thoughts and I asked Rylla, "What did Stacy find?"

"A lost story." Rylla explained, "A 1953 story by Francine Long called "Remember Phobos".

For a moment I tried to shift my thinking into the historical timeline of the Ekcolir Reality. I'd always had an interest in history, but it was a challenge to keep track of multiple Realities, each with its own science fiction literature. Rylla quickly got to the point, "Stacy thinks this particular story was hidden. She only found it by accident. References to 'Remember Phobos' were taken out of all the index listings."

Through the decades when the Writers Block had been active, several archivists had attempted to create a searchable index of every story ever written by the residents of the Writers Block. However, there had also been multiple efforts to hide some of the Writers Block stories. 

tryp'At hermaphrodites

Particularly notorious had been the tryp'At who had tried to hide all the stories with technical information about teleportation technology. At first, when the Observer Base teleporter was inactivated, only a few people such as Nora had been effected. Now Nora had grown accustomed to the idea of being trapped on Earth. Most people who were aware of the existence of the teleporter system at Observer Base had eventually given up on the dream of re-activating it, imagining that maybe teleportation had become impossible when the Huaoshy had altered the Dimensional Structure of the universe.

Then, with youthful enthusiasm, Marda and Amiante had taken on the task of searching through ancient records at Observer Base and trying to learn how to reactivate the Observer Base teleportation equipment. So far, they had only a partial success which allowed objects composed of hierions to be teleported from Observer Base to Earth.

the Phari

After years of working together on their teleportation project, Marda and Amiante had fallen in love and now their quest had become personal. If they were ever going to be able to live together physically, they needed to get the teleporter at Observer Base back online and once more capable of teleporting humans.

With so much clytykynyn and oxypathin in my blood and Zeta still telepathically making love to me, my erection was not going to fade. I noticed that it was jutting out against the fabric of my robe in such a way that both Rylla and Marda could see it. Upon noticing my erection, all four of Rylla's nipples had popped erect and were now pressing out against the thin, nearly transparent material of her blouse. 

When I realized that Rylla and Marda were both watching the tip of my penis I shifted my position in front of my computer's camera and tried to clear my head, but Zeta was still there, telepathically sharing her sparking orgasm with me. I could not stop myself from thinking about the telepathic orgasms that were routinely shared by Marda and Amiante and the other mind clones of their generation.

When Marda could no longer see the bulging end of my erection, she was able to get her mind back on business and she told me, "Francine's story about Phobos is an account of a Phari base inside of Phobos."

I laughed and tried to make sense of what Marda had said. I wondered: how could someone like Francine, living in the Ekcolir Reality, know about the Phari? The Phari had not had any interactions with humans in the Ekcolir Reality. While the Phari had been used as "technical consultants" by Manny in the Asimov Reality, that relationship had not existed in the later Realities of Earth's Reality Chain. I asked, "Was Francine a carry-over from the Asimov Reality?"

The Writers Block

Marda shook her head. "I don't think so. The Francine at the Writers Block was put into a replicoid body, but she was apparently derived as a teleportation duplicate of her biological copy on Earth... a woman of the Ekcolir Reality."

"You are confusing him." Rather impatiently, Rylla told Marda, "You left out the part about Alice."

Marda told her mother, "I'm getting to that." Marda told me, "In 1935, Francine, on Earth, married Alice Turing... the Ekcolir Reality analogue of Alan Turing. There is a part of "Remember Phobos" that mentions Alice and her powerful telepathic mind."

Sedron Time Stream

Rylla added, "This will interest you, grandpa. The story indicates that Alice had access to the Sedron Time Stream. She had visions of the future!"

Surprised, I blurted out, "Are you serious?"

From her position, still laying in our bed, Zeta had been telepathically following my thoughts. Now she told me: Rylla will never get over her obsession with time travel. I could sense the disapproval in Zeta's mind. Everyone knew that the Huaoshy had changed the Dimensional Structure of the universe so as to make time travel impossible. Zeta could not understand why Rylla and I continued to be obsessed with time travel.

Marda told Rylla, "We don't know that. Actual time travel still existed in the Ekcolir Reality."

Rylla shrugged. "Well, that's my interpretation of the story. How else did Alice know about the Fru'wu base on Phobos, more than a decade before the Fru'wu arrived on Earth? Earthlings did not have access to the time machine at Observer Base, so Alice must have tapped into the Sedron Time Stream."

I held up a hand. "Wait, now. I'm lost. Was it a Fru'wu base or a Phari base inside Phobos?"

Marda said, "Amiante has a theory. He thinks that Francine's replicoid and Alice were able to stay in telepathic contact even though Francine's replicoid was at Observer Base."

Rylla added, "In 'Remember Phobos', there is mention of the fact that Francine and Alice could share orgasm trances and they had a strong telepathic linkage."

Book 2 of the Lost World trilogy

Marda continued, "So Alice started publishing a whole series of stories on Earth about the Fru'wu, including the idea that the Fru'wu had long occupied the Mars system. Well, it is better to say the Ver'la system."

Just then Zeta emerged from our bedroom and Tyhry came rushing inside, having returned from her excursion across the desert. Zeta had pulled on the matching bikini bottoms that went with her anti-gravity bra, but that did nothing to hide her rather spectacular clitoral erection. The panties had been designed by Tyhry so as to accommodate and automatically massage Zeta's giant erect clitoris, not hide it. Those panties also ran up inside her vagina and were designed to powerfully stimulate every part of a woman's clitoris with pleasurable vibrations. I knew that Tyhry had provided a set of those vibrating panties to Marda, Rylla and Nora and she usually wore her own most of the time. I tried not to think about that, but I glanced automatically at her slender hips. She told me telepathically: Yes, dad, I'm wearing them now. I was just having telesex with Rōxzyl.

future technology

I knew the theory. The human brain had been designed so that there was a link between sex and telepathy. The mind clones like Tyhry and Marda kept themselves in a constant state of sexual excitement in order to amplify their telepathic powers. Their parents like Zeta, Rylla and Nora just liked the vibrating panties as sex toys, but with increasing frequency they were all making more and more use of those devices to keep themselves sexually aroused and help amplify their own telepathic abilities. In Zeta's case, with a dose of clytykynyn and oxypathin in her blood and her panties massaging her clitoris, she was in a seemingly endless orgasm and that was telepathically stimulating me and making it a challenge for me to think about anything beside getting my erection back inside Zeta's hot vagina. 

oxypathin

Under those conditions, it was hopeless for me to expect my robe to hide my erection from Tyhry when she came into the living room. Tyhry glanced at my protruding penis, licked her lips and then made an adjustment to her panties. I could telepathically sense that Tyhry's erectile tissue was also stiff and tingling. With the powerful doses of clytykynyn and oxypathin that Zeta and I had taken, I wondered if it might be hours before our erections faded. Observing the protruding bulk of Zeta's clitoral erection, Rylla asked, "How big a dose of those new hormones did you two use?"

"The minimum dose that you suggested." Zeta added, "I congratulate you on this latest formulation of the sex hormones. I've been in a constant state of orgasm for over an hour now."

Tyhry was rather bored with our telepathy experiments and her mother's endless quest for the perfect orgasm. Trying to ignore her own heightened state of sexual arousal and her recent memories of making sweet love to Rōxzyl, Tyhry tried to shift the discussion back to events in the Ekcolir Reality and she told Marda, "We can visit the Writer Block in the Ekcolir Reality when you arrive... try to sort this out."

clytykynyn

Marda was soon to graduate from college and Tyhry had been promised a vacation as a graduation present. During the past month since Tyhry's graduation, Marda and Tyhry had been frequently discussing possible destinations that could be visited using the Reality Simulation System during a family vacation that would constitute their shared graduation present. 

Making no effort to hide her erection from anyone, Zeta sat down and continued stroking her stiff clitoris. I could telepathically sense that she was on a mission and trying to see how long she could make her orgasm last. Zeta was amazed at how much the glans of her clitoris had swollen up when under the influence of the new-style sex hormones provided by Rylla. With my mind telepathically linked to Zeta's, there was no way that my erection was going to fade as long as she kept stimulating herself. I was sorely tempted to go over and take her swollen clitoris in my mouth, but I restrained myself. Distracted by Zeta, I was only vaguely aware of what Tyhry had just told Marda. However, Zeta was able to multitask and even from the soaring heights of her endless orgasm, she reminded Tyhry, "Your graduation gift is supposed to be a family vacation... with entertainment and good times for all of us."

Mars

"This new information about Alice must be explored. Don't conflate this Alice project with my graduation gift." Tyhry suggested, "Why not let Marda and I go into the Ekcolir Reality and find Alice? It would get me out of the house for a few days and you could continue your orgasm experiments without me having to go off into the hills all the time in an effort to get out of your head."

Zeta reminded everyone, "Eddy and I are performing important telepathy experiments. The orgasms are just a means to the end of learning how to better control our telepathic minds." 

Zeta was right, of course. I tried to stop thinking about sex. The rational part of my mind got back some measure of control over my emotions. I forced myself to stop looking at Zeta's clitoral erection and I tried to get my thoughts back on the mystery of Phobos.

"I can't just jump into a airplane today and join you inside the Simulator." Marda complained to Tyhry, "I won't be done with my classes for another two weeks."

Rylla

"Everyone should just calm down." Rylla ran her hands over her four breasts and her stiff nipples as if trying to make them disappear. I suppose like me, she was trying to tame her own sexual thoughts and focus her mind on practical affairs. She said, "Marda has to finish her school work, so we have two weeks to think about this." She told her daughter, "Get back to your studies." Marda obediently exited from the vchat.

Rylla told Zeta, "I'm sorry about the bad timing of this news from Observer Base. I should have checked on your availability before letting Marda rush me into contacting you two there in Arizona."

Rylla told me, "As for you, old man, don't waste that erection... I can see that Zeta want's to get you back in bed... now. Sorry to interrupt." She broke the vchat connection.

Tyhry told Zeta, "Even when I was ten miles away I could still sense you two telepathically." She reached down and stroked the big protruding glans of her mother's clitoris. "And you got me very horny. I had a great sexplay session with Rōxzyl, but she got called away before I was really satisfied. I'm still horny. I think we should all just go to bed." She turned and called down the hallway, "Anthony... I need you." Tyhry went to the back of the house in search of the robot who served as her favorite sex toy.

Zeta (image credits)

Zeta came over, opened my robe and took my erection back into her hot wet vagina. I stood up and carried Zeta back to our bed. By the time we got there, our bodies were once again connected by a synapex link and as I telepathically re-connected to Zeta's on-going super-orgasm, I experienced my own orgasm and began to ejaculate. 

I did not think about Phobos again until the next morning when the levels of clytykynyn and oxypathin in our blood was back to reasonable levels. I awoke knowing that we were still failures in trying to prevent a telepathic connection from existing between us and Tyhry. Just emerging into waking consciousness I was thinking about Tyhry's powerful telepathic abilities, and for a time I thought about the multiple orgasms that Anthony had given Tyhry during the night, but then she signaled me to join her in the living room. My erection had finally faded, so I got out of bed and pulled on a pair of pants. Zeta was still sleeping.

Manny the bumpha

Tyhry was at my computer. She told me, "I think I found a new bookmark from Manny."

I checked the Reality Simulation control system and confirmed Tyhry's discovery. Someone has provided us with a set of coordinates for Alice within the Ekcolir Reality Simulator. After twenty years of experience with the RSS, I knew that these coordinates were inside Observer Base. I said, "It looks like Alice got herself into trouble with all the stories she published on Earth about the Fru'wu and their secret bases in the Ver'la system. I'm not surprised. It was about twenty years ago when I first learned about the efforts that had been made to hide the existence of Ver'la."

"I can't wait." Tyhry said, "Let's go visit Alice, right now."

I'd gotten almost no sleep during the past 24 hours and I was hungry. I asked, "Now?"

Tyhry asked, "Why not? Let's go before mom wakes up. This is an opportunity for us to see some Phari technology... maybe advanced teleportation technology. You know that the Phari could move entire planets. We have to take this opportunity to investigate alien technology that the tryp'At tried to hide. This might be the solution to the teleporter problem!"

Ekcolir Reality Simulation

I knew that Zeta was expecting to continue our hormone experiments all week long. She had mapped out a plan to keep boosting the hormone dose until we had success in preventing Tyhry from reading our thoughts. However, I was concerned that Zeta and I were both in danger of becoming addicted to high doses of the new, more potent derivatives of clytykynyn and oxypathin. The new formulation of the hormones that had been crafted by Rylla had rapid onset and did fade away more quickly, but that left me with a powerful craving to take another dose. Tyhry could follow my thoughts and she said, "Mom can use Anthony as her partner if she needs to continue the experiment." Without any further discussion she activated the Reality Simulator and pulled me into the Ekcolir Reality.
