Alien Intervention

Grystygn

 For the next part of my science fiction story called the Mosy Saga, I want to make explicit the idea that aliens Interventionists are planning to make use of Tara the Ta as their tool for accomplishing a complex Reality Change that will end the Ekcolir Reality and bring into existence the world as we know it, the Final Reality. So far in the story, I've hinted at the fact that Tara has large numbers of alien gene patterns, but Tara's physical features have been carefully constrained by developmental control nanites, assuring that she looks like an Earth woman. 

When Potina is called to the Summer Palace to meet visiting dignitaries from a western tribe, she discovers that there is a Rep serving as a translator for the visiting dignitaries; her name is Grystygn. The Rep are replicoids who can arrange their nanite components so as to take on any convenient form. When Grystygn is alone with Potina, she shows Potina her true bodily form (see below). However, when Earthlings other than Potina are present, Grystygn uses a standard Earth woman physical form (see Figure 1).

Figure 2. Side-pointing ears.

I've previously written stories such as The Zal Intervention in which aliens have visited Earth and I had to imagine hiding their alien features such as their ears. I've been using Wombo Dream (I refer to this AI-powered image generator as "Mr. Wombo")  to make illustrations for the Mosy Saga. 

When given a chance, Mr. Wombo tends to make elf-like ears pointing out to the sides as shown to the left in Figure 2. For the image of an alien visitor on Earth that I was trying to create, I wanted the ears pointing more vertically, as shown in this blog post from 2019.

Figure 3. partially hidden ears.

Some of the images generated by Mr. Wombo use the alien's long flowing hair to cover up large parts of the alien-style ears (for example, see Figure 3, to the right) or make the ears quite small. In this case, I particularly wanted to make obvious the fact that Grystygn has several unusual anatomic features, so I wanted the ears fairly large and mostly visible. 

Figure 4. Too alien for me.

I have a serious problem accepting AI-generated images of aliens if they are too alien in appearance. Some of the available "styles" for Mr. Wombo such as the relatively new "Dreamland V3" style generated images for aliens with large pointed ears that were in my uncanny valley (for example, see Figure 4). 

Figure 5. Ears too thin.

The pointy-eared alien version shown in Figure 5 had interesting ears, but this kind of thin ear was almost as troubling for me as were the thick ears in Figure 4. Rationally, I tell myself that I should be satisfied with either of these, but my rational mind can be over-ruled by the rest of my brain.

Figure 6. With ear rings.

Since I was so focused on the ears of this alien, I was attracted to the version with ear rings that is shown in Figure 6. I was using this text prompt: "high resolution movie still of Elle Macpherson as a pretty alien with cute elf ears in a science fiction film, Elle Macpherson has long blond hair, Elle Macpherson is fifteen years old, Elle Macpherson has very large alien eyes, Elle Macpherson has huge eyes, Elle Macpherson is smiling, Elle Macpherson is alien, alien technology in the background". It is interesting that Mr. Wombo sometimes cannot resist putting either tattoos or jewelry on human figures, even when not asked to do so.

Figure 7. Caz in Eternity.

Originally, I was imagining that Caz might need to take Tara to Eternity in order to help Tara understand how advanced technologies such as nanites and time travel were being used for the Mosy Intervention. During their time in Eternity, I thought it might be possible to have Tara meet Grean the Kac'hin. I often depict the Kac'hin as being hermaphrodites, but that is not the focus of this blog post.

Eventually, I decided to allow Tara's wife, Potina, to be the first Earthling who has a chance to see the unusual anatomy of an alien. Potina is already prepared for the idea of alien anatomical differences because she knows that Tara has an Allzaurish. Then, after Potina describes her "alien close encounter" experience to Tara, Tara will be curious about her own natural physical form. At that point in time, Tara will begin to make demands of Caz and then Tara will then be teleported to Eternity for a quick lesson about alien body plans.

Figure 8. Inside the Eternity
space-time bubble.

I was initially using Mr. Wombo to create a version of Caz as she might appear during the visit to Eternity with Tara (see Figure 7). Then, while using the "Dreamland V3" style, Mr. Wombo began making some images such as the one shown in Figure 8. 

Don't ask me to explain the floating metallic device that is there beside her, but it reminds me of the robotic devices that Arthur Clarke included in his science fiction story Against the Fall of Night. 

Four breasts by Mr. Wombo.

Surprise
The next step in image generation with Mr. Wombo really surprised me: an extra row of breasts was added, low on her abdomen (see the image to the right). In the past, when I've imagined extra breasts, I've always but them high on the abdomen. In this case, Mr. Wombo seemed to be putting a second set of collar bones on the abdomen between the two rows of breasts.

For the image shown to the right, I tried to make her look downward. Her head was generated separately. I discovered that it is almost impossible to get Mr. Wombo to show a woman looking down at her own body. Her left hand with the pointing finger was made by Mr. Wombo without me asking for that pose.

Figure 9. Grystygn's true form.

I ended up making the composite image shown in Figure 9 as a representation of the true alien form of Grystygn. These images tended to have serious trouble getting the hands correctly rendered.

 Straining Credulity. For the rest of the images shown below, I did bother bother trying to add in the big pointy alien ears and unusually large eyes that I imagine being anatomical features of Grystygn. However, some of Mr. Wombo's image-generating "styles" seem to have a definite preference for making large breasts (see Figures 10 an 11, below). Mr. Wombo's  preference was to almost always take care to hide and cover the nipples for the second row of breasts. In many cases, Mr. Wombo did not bother connecting the two pieces of fabric that were covering the left and right breasts (see the second row of breasts in Figure 11, below).

Figure 10. Monster version.

A few of the Wombo Dream styles were able to successfully use Figure 9 as a template and generate similar images. Another relatively new style, "Monster V3", generated the image shown in Figure 10. 

However, the vast majority of the Wombo Dream styles could not be coaxed to generate images with more than just two breasts.

Figure 11. Better hand.

Figure 11 shows a version of this six-breasted alien that was generated with the "Dreamland V3" style using Figure 9 as a template. For most of these images I had to make a closeup image for the face to correct for problems (often involving the nose). Figure 11 was the exception; I was satisfied with the original version of the face in this particular image.

Figure 12. Steamed.

The "Steam punk v2" style struggled to generate three rows of breasts using Figure 9 as a template. Figure 12 shows a modified composite version that had to be manually assembled from three different images.

I prefer aliens with more reasonably sized breasts such as those in Figure 9 and Figure 12.

Four Wombo Dream "styles"

I'm not sure how they keep devising new "styles" for Wombo Dream nor how they select the iconic image for each one.

Figure 13. Book cover.

Here is an imaginary book cover (see Figure 13). Maybe when Tara is taken to Eternity by Caz, she has a chance to visit the Writers Block.

I'm thinking that this alien humanoid with six breasts is a human variant that was designed and crafted in the far future of the Asimov Reality. Possibly this human variant has better telepathic abilities than other variants such as the Kac'hin and the Ek'col, but the goal in the telepathy development project of the Asimov Reality was creation of a telepathic human variant that could live on Earth without attracting too much attention.

Figure 14.

I used the image shown in Figure 12 as a new reference image. This did allow the "Monster V3" style to generate some aliens with either smaller breasts (or at least significantly less skin showing) than for Figure 10 and Figure 11 (above). The image shown in Figure 14, has a problem with her hand, but I did not alter anything in this image after it was rendered by Mr. Wombo.

Figure 15. Two torsos, two arms.

One of the more bizarre images that I got when using Figure 12 as a reference image is shown in Figure 15. It is very rare for a nipple to slip through the Wombo Dream NSFW filter. Maybe this is a scene from an alien high-diving competition.

Both Figure 15 and Figure 16 are shown here on this page completely unaltered from the original image generated by Mr. Wombo.

Mr. Wombo shows Tara topless.

Here is another example of an image for which the Wombo Dream NSFW algorithm seemingly relaxed its usual "hide the breasts" standards (image to the right). Maybe as long as her nipple is in a dark shadow, Mr. Wombo assumes that there has been adequate censorship imposed.

Figure 16. Four arms.

Martians
Another Mr. Wombo special double torso image is shown in Figure 16, this time with four arms and the usual Wombo Dream effort to hide her nipples. This kind of alien with four arms reminds me of an illustration by Michael Whelan for The Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Sadly, for Figure 16, Mr. Wombo could not be bothered to to five her any hands. I'm not sure what those mysterious alien devices are in the background... nor am I certain why I even noticed what is in the background. This anatomically odd alien provides enough to look at.

Figure 17. Strategic hair.

The Wombo Dream software is quite good at finding ways to hide nipples. In Figure 17, I guess we are supposed to believe that her hair is covering her left nipple. Maybe some of these aliens do not actually have nipples.

In Figure 17, it looks like she has an audience.

Figure 18. Four rows.

The question arises: if Mr. Wombo can make aliens with three rows of breasts, why not four? Figure 18 might have three and a half, although I like the idea of some smaller breasts that would be specialized to synthesize some special hormones like oxypathin.

In Figure 18, the head was not generated with the body. That angle of the head is one of the most down-ward pointing angles that I was able to get from Mr. Wombo and that tilt of the head came without me asking. Very annoying when it is only by not asking for a particular feature in an image that Mr. Wombo generates it.

Figure 19. Not an alien.

Another down-ward glance is shown in Figure 19. While I was working hard to get images of strange aliens, it was interesting to occasionally get what looked like a normal human woman. In my experience, while asking Mr. Wombo to generate aliens, the software is so highly constrained by its training set (which I assume does not include many actual aliens) that it will often ignore my carefully-crafted instructions for how to craft an odd alien anatomical feature.

I was tempted to replace that stray planet with an image of the Moon, but maybe this scene is on a distant exoplanet.

Figure 20. A robot following.

 Robots. It seems inevitable that if I ask Mr. Wombo for enough science fiction scenes then some robots are going to appear, eventually. Figure 20 shows some robots lurking in the background.

For the Mosy Saga, I don't have robots in the conventional sense, but the story is heavily dependent on artificial lifeforms called replicoids that have nanite components. The replicoids generally take on human appearance (Figure 1) while living on Earth as part of the Mosy Intervention.

Figure 21. Tara's nightmare.

 Other Aliens. While asking Mr. Wombo to generate some aliens, I started getting images such as the one shown in Figure 21. This was not the kind of alien creature that I was trying to illustrate for the Mosy Saga, but maybe some of Tara's dream visions are more like nightmares than actual visions of the future. Before Tara's visit to Eternity, she worries about being watched by her replicoid.

Figure 22. In Eternity; a vision.

Because of her training as a Ta, Tara has some understanding of the fact that the Bimanoid Interface is used to allow the people of Earth to be secretly watched and observed. However, it is only after meeting Caz that Tara starts to get a technical understanding of how the Bimanoid Interface is used to allow telepathic communication between Earthlings and their replicoids in Eternity.

Another one of Tara's "visions" is shown in Figure 22. The replicoids can arrange their nanite components as needed. Here, a replicoid self-assembles from the head down. I wanted to transform this replicoid into a depiction of a blue alien with pointy ears.

Figure 23. Large eyes.

I was able to manually cut and paste some large eyes into a reference image (see Figure 23), but I struggled to get Mr. Wombo to make faces with unusually large alien eyes.

Figure 24. Green eyes?

One of the Wombo Dream styles is "The Cut". Using "The Cut", Mr. Wombo generated the image shown in Figure 24 using Figure 23 as the reference image. I was using this text prompt: "high resolution movie still of Elle Macpherson in the science fiction film "Aliens Are Watching", Elle Macpherson has blue skin, Elle Macpherson has long pointed elf-like ears, Elle Macpherson has black hair, Elle Macpherson has very large green eyes, Elle Macpherson has extremely large alien eyes, Elle Macpherson with huge eyes".

Figure 25. Manual eyes.

Once again I had to manually add larger eyes to the image shown in Figure 24 in order to get the image in Figure 25. Full confession: the image in Figure 25 is slightly too alien for my tastes.

Figure 26. Tara and an alien.

 Figure 26 shows a blue alien in a scene with Tara the Ta. This blue alien might be a Rep of Eland taking an opportunity to teach Tara about the true nature of the aliens who are guiding the Reality Change that will create the Final Reality (the world as we know it).

Sometimes I really wonder how Mr. Wombo decides on which style of clothing to use for an image. I'm not going to complain about the alien's clothing in Figure 26, but if I had a magic wand, I'd not have my aliens using primitive fasteners like buttons.

Figure 27. Alien encounter.

 Figure 27 is a version of this nighttime human-alien encounter that was generated by Mr. Wombo using the "Horror Cut v2.1" style and this text prompt: "high resolution movie still of Katrine De Candole and Elle Macpherson as a blue alien with very large eyes, Katrine De Candole is fifteen years old, Katrine De Candole is blond, Elle Macpherson is an alien with elf ears and large eyes and black hair, dressed Victoria's Secret style in silk, candle light, desert landscape in the background". I feel that the alien's left hand is a bit too green, but why quibble? Mr. Wombo came up with the glowing yellow eyes, which helps make up for the inability of the software to make really large eyes. Once Mr. Wombo starts with a few candles, watch out! The candles will keep proliferating.

Figure 28. Night meeting.

While using the text prompt, "high resolution movie still of Katrine De Candole, Meg Ryan, Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson and Behati Prinsloo in the documentary film “Ancient Civilizations”, twenty years old, very large eyes, smiling, long blond hair, big hair, dressed Victoria's Secret style, wearing neolithic clothing, moon in background", Mr. Wombo generated Figure 28 with the Dreamland v3" style.

The nipples of the lady towards the back of the scene in Figure 28 were not as dramatic as those in Figure 14, but her breasts were more visible than what can usually escape the NSFW filter that is deployed by Wombo Dream. I suppose if the breasts are small enough and the lighting dim enough then the NSFW filter can fail.

Figure 29. Meet again.

When I used Figure 28 as a reference image, Mr. Wombo generated Figure 29 by using the "Horror Cut v2.0 style". I get the feeling that there are a few holes in the NSFW algorithm that usually prevents Mr. Wombo from generating and returning to users any images of breasts with nipples or women's breasts that are not draped with clothing or covered by other means. At the same time, Mr. Wombo will sometimes start generating views of bare breasts even when the user does not ask for that. In this case, if you look carefully (click the image to enlarge), her nipples seem to be covered by thin swaths of skin-toned fabric.

The vertically-oriented series of three faces along the left side of Figure 29 was not a stable arrangement. As shown in Figure 30, it really made more sense for Mr. Wombo to have only two human figures along the left side of this scene.

Figure 30. Four meet.

Mr. Wombo had some interesting ideas for how to minimize clothing and maximize skin when using the "Monster 3" style to make these moon-lit scenes. Figure 30 shows the lady towards the back of the scene depicted by Mr. Wombo as being rather casual about covering her crotch. In Figures 28 - 30, the Moon was plenty big, but Mr. Wombo was not satisfied.

For the Mosy Saga, I was interested in having a nighttime meeting between Caz and Tara. Mr. Wombo seemed to like the idea that if there are only two people under the full Moon then the Moon can be made even larger. Since February I have sometimes tried to have Mr. Wombo generate images in which two humans are kissing, but the Wombo Dream training set seems to have not been very rich in images of people kissing, so Mr. Wombo finds it hard to visually depict a convincing kiss.

Figure 31. Moon Magic.

When I used the text prompt, "high resolution movie still of Meg Ryan and Kate Moss kissing in the documentary film “Ancient Civilizations”, Kate Moss is seen in profile view, twenty years old, very large eyes, smiling, long blond hair, big hair, dressed Victoria's Secret style, wearing neolithic clothing, moon in background", Mr. Wombo made the image shown in Figure 31.

Figure 32. Caz and Tara.

Not being entirely satisfied with the sky and Moon as depicted by Mr Wombo, I made the reference image shown in Figure 32. This star field and the image of the moon are from a couple of NASA images.

Figure 33. Wombo star-field.

In general, Mr. Wombo can't make a very natural looking star field. Figure 33 shows one of the more interesting nighttime skies that Mr. Wombo generated while using Figure 32 as a reference image.

Figure 34. Artificial hair.

I wanted some way to visually indicate that Caz is a replicoid. In the Mosy Saga, I mention that there is a characteristic appearance of the Rep (replicoids) who live in Eland that allows humans such as Tara to instantly recognize a Rep. Thinking of hair nanites, for Figure 34 I asked for "artificial hair", but Mr. Wombo finds it hard to produce either unusually large eyes (see Figure 24) or unusual hair. Mr. Wombo's default is to make some sort of goofy hat.

Figure 35. Wombo Galaxy.

 Figure 35 shows one more interesting night sky that was generated by Wombo and which illustrates Mr. Wombo's approach to including a view of the Milky Way in an image of the nighttime sky.

Saturation. I have no idea how Mr. Wombo decides on the amount of color saturation in these nighttime scenes that are under Moon light. Sometimes Mr. Wombo seems to over-do the color level.

Related Image: there is another image that is similar to Figure 21.

Replicoid Repetition

Caz the replicoid and Tara

 Below on this page is Part 3 of a science fiction story called the Mosy Saga. Previously, in Part 2, Tara the Ta began to understand that she has long been a popular agent of the Interventionists who are shaping the next Reality of Earth. Multiple copies of Tara have been made. Now, Tara is anticipating her chance to meet Caz, a replicoid who will have to prepare Tara for her future mission aimed at changing the life of Mosy and achieving the Reality Change that will end the Ekcolir Reality. Tara is daunted by the idea that her training in preparation for meeting Mosy is starting more than a thousand years before Mosy will be born.

Both Part 1 and Part 2 of the Mosy Saga took place in Eland, located in the highlands of what we know as the Caucasus mountains. In Part 3, below, the story shifts to the southeast, a part of ancient Anatolia that was known as Norsun to Tara, her husband Zule and Tara's wife, Potina.

Hynok, Caz and Atarte

 Caz was the "first Tara"; in other words, Tara is a biological clone of Caz. Caz was born on Earth thousands of years before Tara and she was quickly identified as having special abilities that would allow her to function as an Interventionist agent: 1) with the help of chemical modulators of her brain activity, Caz was able to access the Sedron Time Stream, 2) Caz had some telepathic ability, and 3) she was able to use the Bimanoid Interface to consciously connect to her replicoid in Eternity.

While on Earth during the time period when Tara lives in Norsun, Caz works closely with another replicoid named Hynok. While Tara has large numbers of Kac'hin gene patterns that she inherited from Trysta, Hynok originated as a human who had many Ek'col gene patterns. Tara spends much time managing the forests, gardens and herds of Norsun and while she is away from home, she is always accompanied by Caz and Hynok.

Potina and Tara on the Bronze Road

 Also in Norsun are Tara's husband, Zule, and Tara's wife, Potina. Zule seldom travels and is content to stay home where he crafts exquisite wood and metal objects including musical instruments. In contrast, much like Tara, Potina is seldom in residence at Norsun House. Her base of operations is the fort-like Summer Palace, located about fifty miles west of Norsun House. Potina is known as Princess Potina to the surrounding tribes.

Settling in Norsun, Tara knows that Caz and Hynok have long been living among the Rep and preparing for Tara's arrival. Potina and Tara give birth to Zule's first children within six months after arriving in Norsun. The Rep of Norsun quickly acquaint Potina and Tara with the political and economic realities of Norsun. Zule quietly gets down to the business of running Norsun House and continuing his design work; crafting musical instruments and various decorative items, some of which become "tribute" paid to the rulers of nearby tribes.

School of Caz (Part 3 of the Mosy Saga) (Part 1)(Part 2) 

Caz

 In the year when Tara the Ta was twenty years old, she led a small caravan from Eland to Norsun. At the beginning of the journey, it was obvious that Potina was again pregnant. This was her third pregnancy and also in the caravan were her first two children, Zevy and Mym. No effort was made to speed the caravan along towards its destination and on some rainy days they stayed put in camp and made no progress towards Norsun.

The first part of the journey was all downhill, a gradual descent from the hills of Eland into the the Kyr river valley. The first time that Tara and Zule had gone to Norsum, they had followed the Kyr to its junction with the Yra river and followed it up to Yervyn. However, this time they followed a small tributary of the Kyr that led more directly to Yervyn

A month into the journey, they reached what was known as the Bronze Road, a major trade route that could be conveniently followed for most of the distance that needed to be traveled. 

The "South Sea" is the Mediterranean Sea

Where stretches of the "road" were fairly level, three narrow wagons were assembled and deployed and pulled by horses. Two of those wagons were used to carry Zevy and Mym and during these times Tara, Potina and Zule also rode horses rather than walk. Under these conditions many miles could be quickly traveled, but the caravan seldom went more than thirty miles in any single day. There was no great hurry to reach Norsun and much to see along the way.

Zule crosses a high divide.

On days when they traveled across level parts of the highlands, the third wagon carried tents and cooking equipment and rushed ahead of the main body of the caravan to find the next camp site. A cooked meal and pitched tents were always waiting for them when Tara, Potina, Zule and the children reached the next camp. 

As usual, Tara found that she ate very little during the journey. She vaguely understood that she was fed artificially, but she had no real understanding of the feeding nanites that continually brought microscopic pieces of food into her body and removed her bodily wastes. Never having urinated or defecated, Tara took for granted that as a Ta, she was free of many human concerns. Tara was also continually attended by cleaning and hair nanites that kept her body seemingly freshly scrubbed and her hair dressed quite elegantly.

The greatest problem for Tara during the long journey to Norsun was satisfying her physical need for sexplay. As a Ta with large numbers of alien gene patterns, Tara needed several hours of sexual stimulation each day and her brain functioned best when she was able to experience at least half a dozen orgasms during the course of each day. Tara would usually put Zevy and Mym to sleep each night in the tent that they shared while Potina and Zule made love in Potina's tent. Tara would then make love to Zule in his tent. Finally retiring to her own tent, Tara was usually met there by two or three rep for a group sexplay session. Also, most days Tara would move off from the caravan with a male pony and take that opportunity to grab one more orgasm and receive an allzaurish-full of sex hormone-laden semen.

A Yervyn mountain.

Having started their journey in Summer in anticipation of the entire route being free of snow, they only had a few snow flurries one day as they went through a high pass into the territory of the Yer tribe. When the sun came out, the tall snow-covered mountains of the highlands seemed to surround the travelers.

As was the case in Eland, these high regions along the Bronze Road supported a large number of large animals including mountain lions and bears. The domesticated grazing animals had to be carefully watched by the herders and kept in fenced pens at night that were guarded by watch dogs. Tara knew that the human residents of Yervyn and Zyry were also served by a population of Rep, but with no Ta among these mountain tribes, none of these people had any idea that the Rep were artificial lifeforms.

A high pasture in Yervyn.

Jyct the Rep took care to introduce Tara and Potina to almost everyone encountered during the journey. This included everyone who lived on farms and in villages close the the road and those who were traveling in other trade caravans. As usual, Rep were very useful for facilitating communication between the Elanders and people from other lands. Along with the five humans in the caravan, there were 43 replicoids including Jyct, Thyl and Pokam who were always able to understand and translate any language that was heard.

While following the Bronze Road through the high plains of Yervyn and Zyry, most of the caravans that they met were carrying trade goods from Norsun. These were mostly finely crafted metal objects including practical bronze axes and cooking pots as well as some purely decorative items that could be worn as clothing accessories.

Two Jyct replicoids.

Never having previously ventured any further than Kyrthy, this was Potina's first visit to Yervyn, Zyry and Norsun. Having heard from Tara and Zule that these southern lands had been depopulated by plague, Potina was surprised to find that the small villages along the Bronze Road all seemed quite prosperous. 

One day, Thyl showed Potina a cemetery that was not far from a village. Potina could see that there were many new graves from the past few years, all marked by flowers. The people of Eland always burned their dead, so Potina was disturbed by the idea of bodies placed in the ground. Thyl explained, "As you can see, all these graves have recently been visited by family members. Having a resting place for the dead is helpful for those still living and dealing with the loss. About half of the people in these lands died during the past few plague years. However, there are are many Rep living here among the humans and they have kept the social and economic impact of the plague deaths to a minimum."

In fact, the most impacted of the southern territories was Norsun, where close to 90% of the local people had died in the waves of plague deaths during the past five years. However, it was there in Norsun that there was the highest density of Rep and the replicoids of Norsun out-numbered the humans.

After more than a month of traveling south, finally the day came when Tara pointed towards the hills on the other side of a broad valley and excitedly told Potina, "That is where our new home is... waiting for us." Both Tara and Zule had already visited Norsun House during their two previous inspections of the southlands. Tara warned Potina, "Remember, there are Rep here who look just like us. They have been pretending to be us. So if any of the local people seem to recognize you, don't be surprised... they know your Rep duplicate." 

Tara the Ta.

Having had visions of the future and with her training as a Ta and with occasional access to the mind of her replicoid copy in Eternity, Tara had a fairly sophisticated understanding of the fact that the Rep were artificial life-forms. Having lived among the Rep of Eland their entire lives, Zule and Potina simply took for granted the ubiquitous presence of the Rep and their function as an efficient worker class.

Not having been trained as a Ta, Potina had been able to live her life thinking of the Rep as being human. Potina laughed nervously and said, "I hope I don't make a fool of myself by not knowing about past conversations with these people."

Jyct told Potina, "Relax. If you ever need to know about a past interaction that your Rep-copy had with local people, just ask me or another Rep for clarification."

Approaching Norsun House, Potina's oldest child, Zevy, raced ahead of the caravan. Jyct moved quickly to follow Zevy. As they neared Norsun House, they were met by another replicoid that looked just like Jyct. That copy of Jyct spoke to Zevy and demonstrated that she knew him well. In fact, all of the replicoids of both Eland and Norsun could communicate by means of the Bimanoid Interface. When the caravan caught up to Zevy, he excitedly told his mother, "There is another Jyct!"

Potina

The second Jyct explained that there had long been replicoid copies there at Norsun House of everyone who was in the caravan from Eland. Now those "copies" would go "into hiding", and to make that process more dramatic, the copy of Jyct seemed to dissolve and her nanite components seemed to drift away on the breeze. 

With no understanding of the Rep as artificial constructs composed on nanites, Zule and Potina were amazed. Zule said, "A second Jyct... she whispers in the wind... a ghostly form in summer's heat, now haunting our memories..." 

Zevy asked, "What is a ghost?"

Potina had never told her children about imaginary creatures. Now she told her two children, "Zule is making a joke... a silly ghostly trick, Zule whispers his fantasy, like moonbeams at night, take his moonshine with delight, but there is more to this... Tara knows the truth..."

Zevy turned to Tara and asked,"Where did the other Jyct go?"

Tara bent and picked up Zevy. Holding him in her arms, she replied, "We are all tired from our journey. I have hot sweat in my eyes. I don't care about double Jycts or other mysteries right now. Let us step into our new home and get out of the blazing sun."

Norsun house was surrounded by a beautiful patch-work of forested glades, gardens, orchards and grain fields. The caravan approached the house walking across a velvety green meadow of grass and a group of the local Rep workers came forward from Norsun House to greet them. The chief house Rep, Jyny, introduced herself and then showed Tara, Potina (and her children), and Zule the house and grounds.

Tara's vision of the future.
Her daughters
Atarte, Quel and Triq.

Potina was intrigued by the size and complexity of Norsun House which was larger than any house she had ever seen before. Jyny explained, "In Eland, the population has been stable for centuries. Now, there will be larger families here in Norsun." Placing a hand on Potina's bulging abdomen, Jyny told Zule, "Your children and their descendants must eventually repopulate Norsun and the surrounding lands.

Zevy had grown up believing that he was the son of Zule and Potina, but he had a special relationship with Tara. From a very young age, he had taken to breast feeding with Tara whenever possible. Now, Zevy was delighted to discover that he would have his own bedroom in Norsun House. He had pulled Tara into his room and demanded to nurse. Tara undressed and sprawled on the bed. Zevy also pulled off his dusty clothing, climbed up onto the platform bed and latched on to one of Tara's nipples and began to suck. Tara said, "Easy, my love!" Tara knew that she had never produced any milk and would only do so as her progesterone levels began to rise during her pregnancy. 

It had been during the journey to Norsum that Tara had realized that she was finally pregnant. That realization had begun with a dream vision that came while she had been nursing Zevy. Tara had seen a vision from the future: here first three children, all daughters. Tara had seen herself in the future, nursing her first born; Atarte.

Wile Tara's milk production had not yet begun, her breasts did produce a small amount of pale pink fluid that contained a Kac'hin oxypathin sex hormone. And Zevy responded well to that hormone... he was seemingly addicted to it. Now, with Zevy applying strong suction to the nipple, both of Tara's nipples popped erect and then she felt her breasts begin to release the sex hormone secretions. 

Atarte

Zevy gulped and Tara touched the protruding nipple of her free breast. Her finger tip was coated with the stick secretion. Tara licked the  oxypathin rich fluid and enjoyed the sensation it created in her mouth. Tara rubbed the oxypathin all over her breast and soon Zevy fell asleep. Tara began to stroke her large Kac'hin style clitoris, coating it with oxypathin and soon she achieved an orgasm. Zevy was now linked directly to her nervous system by means of a synapex link between his tongue and a small pink spot at the base of her nipple. Tara slipped into an orgasm trance and drifted in a swirl of pleasurable sensations. With her telepathic abilities now amplified, Tara could synchronize her mind to the mind pattern of Zevy. As usual when synapex linked to Tara, Zevy's penis was now erect and pressed against Tara's skin like a hot ember.

Suddenly, Tara's conscious mind connected to the Sedron Time Stream and she experienced a new vision of the future, at a time about fifteen years away. She saw a future time when Zevy was about twenty years old. Tara saw Zevy making love to... 

For a moment Tara's consciousness seemed to split. Tara's replicoid in Eternity was fantasizing about a lover... or maybe Tara had a vision of what the replicoid's lover was seeing...

Tara's vision of Eternity.

Then at the same time, and increasingly strong, Tara imagined that she was seeing herself in the future as she enjoyed making love to Zevy. Then Tara realized that she was watching her daughter, Atarte, on her wedding night. Even during this vision, Tara continued to fondle the big stiff glans of her clitoris and she experienced another intense orgasm. In the future vision, Atarte cried out in joy and then rolled off of Zevy and immediately got on top of another man, taking his erect penis inside her vagina. Zevy positioned himself on top of Atarte and slid his penis into her allzaurish. Tara finally realized that the other man who was lying beneath Atarte was Ked, Potina's third child, now only a developing fetus. Experiencing this vision and also receiving clues from her replicoid in Eternity, Tara now understood that Atarte would marry both Zevy and Ked. 

For a moment, Tara watched her daughter making love to her two husbands, then the scene shifted. Tara saw three naked girls tending a flower garden. Tara recognized the location; it was one of the gardens close to Norsun House. Then, Zevy, Ked and another boy arrived. Like the girls, they were naked, the sweat on their bodies glistening in late afternoon sun. Zevy put his arms around Atarte and sang, "In fire's warm embrace, our hearts meet again, children must play, our dance finds its place."

Atarte could not ignore Zevy's erection. She kissed the pink tip of his penis but told him, "Help us finish the work. We'll play after we have tended to our chore."

For a time, the girls continued working together pulling weeds and the three boys brought water from a well to water those plants that seemed to have wilted during the heat of that summer day. Experiencing the vision, Tara realized that the youngest boy was the younger brother of Zevy and Ked. As they worked, the children sang a song and nibbled on cannabis flowers. Part of the song was:

Triq

Ze drew water from the well
Ked carried the bucket to Te
Tey handed a ladle to Te
but she was already wet,
so Ze slipped inside of Te!
Tey handed the ladle to Quel
but she was already wet,
so Ked slipped inside of Que!
Tey drank the water and
then brought his ladle to Triq
They tasted each other
and here is the best trick
even little Triq got wet!

At first, Tara was confused by the song, then the children stopped tending to the plants and started engaging in sexplay. The two older boys had vaginal intercourse with the two older girls. The youngest pair engaged in oral sex. Eventually, watching the children at play and matching up this dream vision to her memories of other such visions and also using the Bimanoid Interface to link to her replicoid in Eternity, Tara realized that these girls were her three daughters: Atarte ("Te" for short), Quel and Triq. The three boys were all sons of Potina: Zevy ("Ze" for short), Ked and Tyrentey ("Tey" for short). Caught up in the wonderful power of her orgasm trance, Tara's telepathic mind reached out and she could sense that Potina and Zule were in the master bedroom trying out the big bed as a new arena for their love making.

Tara finally emerged from her orgasm trance and her vision of the future ended. She was very pleased that her daughters would grow up happy in Norsun, satisfied with the available sex partners... the children of Potina. Reflecting on her vision of Triq and the young girl merrily playing with Tey's erection, Tara recalled her earliest memories of sexplay with Zule. Zule had inherited the Ek'col feature of being born without a foreskin. In contrast, Tara had just seen that Tey would have a normal human foreskin, but still, once the foreskin was retracted off of his glans, Triq had seemed to delight in licking the bright pink tip of Tey's penis. In the vision, Tara had not gotten good views of the genitals of either Quel and Triq, but it had been clear that Atarte had inherited the very prominent Kac'hin style clitoris. 

Tara

Now Zevy pulled off of Tara's right breast and shifted his mouth to the left nipple, all while barely opening his eyes. With their first synapex linkage broken, Tara realized how much she had been enjoying the feel of Zevy's erection from the perspective of his subjective experience of the sensations. Tara recalled her earliest memories of playing with Zule's beautiful penis. Zevy's penis always reminded Tara of Zule's spectacular organ.

Tara began playing with Zevy's erection and they established another synapex linkage through Tara's other nipple. Now Tara masturbated through her experience of simultaneously stoking the hot soft skin of Zevy's penis and her own stiff glans. Tara imagined that she was playing with her own... penis. Tara, her replicoid in Eternity and Zevy all experienced simultaneous orgasms. Tara's eyes popped open and she saw a blond head of hair above her crotch. A powerful tongue was now licking the hot glans of her clitoris. For a minute Tara simply enjoyed the oral stimulation of her genitals and she continued rubbing Zevy's erection. Unable to identify who was licking her glans, but suspecting it was a Rep, Tara final asked, "Who are you?"

The woman pulled her mouth away from Tara. Now, suddenly for Tara, it was like looking into a mirror. The woman said, "Call me Caz. I was once a human... the original... the genetic original that was copied to create you. However, I am now living as an immortal replicoid." Caz gently stroked Tara's wet labia with her soft finger tips.

Tara asked, "You are the copy of me that has been living here already?"

"Yes... preparing Norsun as an educational facility." As Tara watched, Caz rearranged the nanite components of her face and took on a somewhat different appearance, perhaps ten years older. "Now it will be my task to start your training for the mission that has been planned for you." Caz looked to where Tara continued to play with Zevy's erection. She said, "First and foremost, it is important that you learn the mind pattern of Mosy. Towards that end, his penis was crafted to appeal to you and he was made dependent on you as a source of the oxypathin sex hormone. You two are now happily linked."

Tara had first learned about Mosy from the mind of her replicoid in Eternity. Tara asked, "You are a replicoid copy of me, but not..." Tara stopped in confusion.

Tara and Atarte

Caz explained, "I am not a copy of you. Think of yourself as being a biological copy of a woman who was born long ago. I am her replicoid. You have your own replicoid in Eternity who has helped guide the development of your telepathic mind. You and I can telepathically link our minds, however, you need to focus your attention of Mosy... my mind and memories can only distract you from your mission."

Caz continued to look at Zevy. Tara took her hand off of Zevy's genitals. The boy continued to sleep, still linked to Tara's nervous system by their shared tongue-to-nipple synapex linkage. Tara had experienced a few visions of the man named Mosy, but those were from the far future. Suddenly, Tara realized that Zevy was Mosy. She asked, "How is it possible..."

Caz was telepathically monitoring Tara's thoughts. "Mosy will be born about two thousand years in the future, but through time travel, the genetic pattern of Mosy was brought to this time and a clone of Mosy was implanted in Potina's uterus... you know that clone as Zevy."

Tara gazed at Zevy with a new perspective. "But isn't Zevy the son of Prov?"

Caz at night.

"Prov was designed to look like Mosy, but that was simply to prevent Potina from wondering about Zevy's origins."

Tara told Caz, "I've had visions of Mosy and I have seen that he was not circumcised. Yet, Zevy was born without a foreskin..."

Caz giggled. "Don't be confused over this little matter. Mosy has many Ek'col gene patterns, but that is not enough. Ek'col males are born without a foreskin because they have special developmental control nanites that remove the foreskin during early embryonic development. Those special nanites were provided to both Zule and Zevy because you have a strong personal preference for circumcised penises. At the time when Mosy is born, conditions will prevent him from having his penis altered. He'll live the first twenty years of his life with a normal, whole penis. It will only be later, after he meets you, that your father will ask Mosy to circumcise himself, in order to become your husband." Caz added, "Or, I should say, the husband of your clone. We'll use medical nanites to extend your life, but you wont live through the centuries all the way to the time of Mosy. It will be your replicoid, living in Eternity, that will guide your clone and she will rely on your help to make sure that Mosy take the desired path towards a new future for Earth."

Tara nodded. "Now I understand what I have previously seen in my visions. And Mosy will actually butcher his own penis... for me?"

"Yes, he will. Isn't that sweet?"

"I'm sorry, but I'd rather not think about it. I would never ask a man to do such a thing... even if I do prefer circumcised penises."

Atarte

Caz explained, "Your father... ah, I should say, the father of your clone... he will believe that his daughters should only marry circumcised men. In any case, don't worry about it... that is for the far future. You have already made a good start in learning the Mosy mind pattern. With the help of your sophisticated telepathic powers, you will make Mosy fall in love with your clone and he will gladly circumcise himself in order to have you... um, your clone, as his bride. In that way you (and your clone) will be positioned not only for plenty of hot sex with Mosy, but you (and your clone) will be able to alter the course of his life, causing a change in the historical timeline of Earth. In that way, you will play an important role in the great plan for bringing into existence a new and better Reality." Caz bent to kiss the tip of Zevy's pretty little erection. "Anyhow, your milk production will soon begin and after Atarte is born, Zevy will no longer nurse at your breasts. You are going to have to find a new way to establish synapex connections to him."

Tara fondled Zevy's erection. "This is all very mysterious to me. I barely understand what a synapex linkage is. Somehow it allows me to see into Zevy's mind... experience what he experiences."

"You don't need to know the neurobiological details. The point is..." And Caz gently tapped on the tip of Zevy's penis with her finger tip, "... your tongue can also form synapex links."

Tara wrinkled her nose and asked, "You want me to link to his nervous system through his penis?"

Caz sighed. "I don't want you to do anything that you are not comfortable with. What's wrong? I thought you enjoy oral sex."

"I do, particularly with Potina. But Zevt is so young..."

"Well, I'm sure you two will work something out." Now Caz gently stroked Tara's big pink clitoral erection. "If you prefer, he can always synapex link to you through the glans of your clitoris." Caz had seen the future and knew that after Zevy was grown, he and Tara would often engage in oral sex and form two simultaneous synapex connections.

Young Ked

Tara complained, "I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with a four-year-old sucking on my clitoris."

Caz suggested, "Don't say that until you try it." Now Caz sucked on Tara's erect nipple for a minute until she got a mouth-full of Tara's oxypathin-rich secretions. Pulling back from the nipple, Caz added, "Although, the sad truth is that these kinds of sexual pleasures are largely wasted on a four-year-old." Caz zighed and regretted having created the dysphoric reaction that Tara was experiencing at the idea of sex with Zevy. "It is not about sex with a boy, it is about you learning to control his mind through telepathy. But maybe I have pushed you too far today. Think about what I have told you. Anytime you want some hot sexplay, just let me know." Caz got off of the bed and began walking away.

"Don't go." Tara said, "Wait! Where are you going? How will I find you? I have so many questions..."

Caz shrugged, turned and quickly undressed. "That's more like it." She moved between Tara's legs and asked, "What do you want to know?" Caz eagerly returned to licking Tara's genitals.

For a minute Tara was distracted by the pleasure of having Caz sliding her tongue up and down her labia and licking her stiff glans. Finally Tara remembered to ask, "I don't really understand nanites and these sex hormones like oxypathin." She resumed playing with Zevy's erection. "I know that semen contains a hormone, clytykynyn, but how does these two hormones cause me to have visions of the future?"

Nanite programming.

Caz wondered how best to explain these issues of advanced technology to Tara. Caz took her mouth off of Tara's glans and said, "Watch this." Tara now saw that Caz had an amazing erection, twice as large as Tara's own big glans. Caz took hold of her big pink glans and pulled. Her clitoris lengthened and Caz kept pulling. 

With her eyes bulging, Tara said, "You have a penis?"

Caz was now stoking her own erect penis. "Biologically, you and I are almost genetically hermaphrodites. When you were a fetus, we could have used development control nanites to make you grow a penis like this one. Since I'm a replicoid, I can change my body into any useful form. And what is more useful than a penis when two women are in bed together?" Caz pushed her erection into Tara's hot wet vagina." Then Caz said, "Oh, ya, two penises are more useful!" Cas rearranged her nanites and bifurcated her penis. Now each of her thrusts sent a penis into both of Tara's vaginas, front and back.

Tara's body began rocking with each thrust of Caz and she said, "Don't wake the baby."

Caz said, "Why not? This would be a good time for me to teach him about oral sex."

Caz ejaculated into Tara and Tara felt her vagina respond to the klytykynyn in Caz's semen. Now Caz took Tara's stiff glans in her mouth and Caz pushed one of her hands into Tara's front vagina and the other hand inside Tara's allzaurish. Tara had a triple orgasm and then a synapex linkage formed between Caz's tongue and Tara's glans. Caz had vast experience with this kind of synapex linkage to her other clones and now there was a two-way telepathic link between the minds of Caz and Tara. Zevy was there at the fringe of their shared mind space, still enjoying the way that Tara was fondling his erection and the sensations in his mouth and digestive tract caused by the oxypathin in Tara's mammary secretions.

Caz telepathically told Tara:

Zevy

I see that you are confused by what you know about your alien gene patterns.

Tara telepathically expressed part of her confusion: Since I became pregnant, I've started growing taller again. How is that possible?

Caz explained: Tara, you don't follow the normal human growth pattern. You have too many alien genes. You will grow quite a bit taller now that you are pregnant. Caz continued to play inside Tara's two vagina's, methodically spreading klytykinin to all of the receptors along the full length of each vagina. Caz continued: A Kac'hin hermaphrodite has four hormonally-modulated growth phases: During the first five years of life,  lactational oxypathin stimulates growth and development of the brain regions that a Kac'hin uses for telepathy. Normally, tongue-nipple synapex linkages allow a mother and child to synchronize their mind patterns. In your case, you got oxypathin from Brita and she shaped your mind with the goal that you would become the new Ta of your tribe.

Tara said: I don't remember nursing from Brita's breasts.

Nor will Zevy ever remember getting oxypathin from you. Caz moved on to describe the next Kac'hin developmental stage. Starting at about age seven, a Kac'hin's cells begin expressing klytykinin receptors. Active klytykynyn receptors combined with adrenal androgens stimulates a rapid growth phase and, in particular, the genitals of a Kac'hin grow and enlarge under the stimulation of those hormones. The usual source of klytykynyn is semen, so it is important for Kac'hin children to be sexually active. 

Young Zevy

Tara recalled the first time she saw Zule ejaculate and the thrill of the first time her klytykynyn receptors were activated. It all worked out; Zule was older than Tara and he had started ejaculating klytykynyn right when Tara had begun expressing klytykynyn receptors. 

Caz continued: Yes, in your case, Zule provided you with all the semen that you needed during your childhood. But then your ovaries eventually started producing high levels of estrogen. That was when your breasts started to grow and you began secreting oxypathin. Also,  by tradition, that is when the Ta are initiated into the cult of equine semenphagy.

Tara nodded. And Brita taught me how to have sex with ponies... letting them ejaculate into my allzuarish.

With the human population in Eland so low, it is difficult to provide a maturing Ta like you with all of the klytykynyn that you need. Thus, the equine sex cult was developed. In your case, horse sex was essential after your mother learned about your sexual infatuation with your brother sent Zule away to live at Rata House.

Tara recalled: My first clear vision of the future came after Ila filled my allzaurish with semen.

Yes, but then you discovered that by forming a synapex link to Zevy you can link into the Sedron Time Stream in a more controlled way. That has been the source of most of your visions of the future, although you have also plucked some useful information from the mind of your replicoid in Eternity. 

Tara and Caz in Garden of Eland

And now I am finally pregnant. Tara patted her abdomen.

Yes, and your progesterone levels are rising fast. Your mammary glands will soon shift emphasis from making sex hormones to making milk. And now, with rising levels of progesterone in your body, you will have one last growth spurt. This is normally the time when a Kac'hin hermaphrodite's testes mature, but sadly, you only have ovaries.

Thank you for explaining. Tara was trying hard to process all of this information being provided by Caz. Fortunately, these strange facts about Kac'hin biology seemed to integrate with what Tara knew about herself and what she had previously seen in the mind of her replicoid.

Caz added: One more thing about nanites. With the help of medical nanites, you, Zule and Potina will remain healthy and you will age only very slowly. You will reach the age of 100 before you are taken into Eternity.

Next: a new alien
