The Bandit Scout on Newhome (M+F+/M+F+) primarily (M/F) - Chapter 105 - 01/08/25
I can only say this: Yes. Yes - and Yes!
More about Sam, Gloria, and Aurora will be revealed in the coming chapter, hopefully posted tomorrow, @Caesar73. It is not that they are bad people. They, like all of us, are locked into the beliefs of our individual worldview.Caesar73 wrote: 11 months ago Another very intriguing Chapter @GreyLord - illuminating and intriguing. Somehow I do not trust Sam´s and Gloria´s Intentions .... we will see how this will play out.
Great insight, @slackywacky. I admit that I had thought of the environment that the Terminator stories would entail had the machines won and elected to keep a few humans around to serve them. It scares me, too. Thanks for commenting.slackywacky wrote: 10 months ago You show us a future that is both exciting but also contains items that scare the hell out of me.
Flashes of the Terminator movies play in my head.
But, independent from what will happen, you write a great story with great characters. Thank you.
Grandmaster @wolfman, you are the master world builder. I am humbled by your comments.wolfman wrote: 10 months ago Fascinating stuff. The bondage is on piint as always, but the world building is off the charts. This is really excellent and i cannot wait to see more
It is hard for me to believe that someone would say wow, to my writing. Thank you so much, @Nainur.
Thank you @Caesar73, and all who have commented so favorably on this tale. To me, reading about bondage is more enjoyable if it is embedded in a good tale. For the Bandit Scout, I elected the unlikely combination of science fiction and the Wild West. Then, I wanted people, the story's characters, to have the characteristics of real-life people the inhibitions placed on them by society about bondage, removed. Your wonderful encouragement suggests I have struck a fair balance between the competing components of this story. Thanks to all of you who read the story and especially to those of you who comment.
A few days ago, I read a comment from @laz that is no longer there. @laz, I assume that you decided to remove your comment. But I want you to know that I understand your point of view completely; there is no intent to glorify or condone Edgar's torture of Morgana. But the telling is key to the formation of the attitudes of the Argonaut crew as they approach Earth. I hope you will stick with the story. There will be little, if any, of that level of abuse as the story progresses.

Terminator was always on my mind - when your Saga took this turn. And the Reference fits in my opinion very well. You created a unique Verse with this Saga. To see how you develop it, expand it, alter it is absolute fun @GreyLord

@laz, thank you for your reply. Here is the next chapter. It is a bit longer than usual.

Chapter 98 – Morgana Seeks Solace
Carlos tied Stella for the mind-meld. He did so most lovingly. Stella was stretched out to the left of her mate, rolled partially on her right side. Her right breast pressed against Carlos' chest, but her right tit was free for him to fondle. Carlos was partially on his left side with his left arm under Stella and his hand pressing on the small of her back, pulling them ever closer.
Carlos moved his right hand around Stella's body. He stroked her cheek and held her breast tightly, manipulating the delicious globe. Carlos caressed her ribs as his hand moved down to tease her navel. He cupped her mons while kissing his mate with his tongue deep in her mouth. His finger found and massaged her clitoris.
Since his initial meeting with Stella, Carlos had never dreamed of having sex with another woman. No one could match her beauty, skill, drive, or ability to satisfy his every longing. Carlos knew that he was fortunate beyond any man alive.
Fate was most strange in its control of their lives. This situation called for him to tie up his mate and make love to her to facilitate the mind-meld and advance the Argonaut's mission. This could not happen in real life. "But," thought Carlos, "here we are."
He said, "Stella, my love, my erection does not want to wait. Are you ready?"
"You know that I am," Stella replied. Come on in, love of my life."
Almost immediately, they both felt the strangeness in their minds that they now recognized as the beginning of a mind-meld. Shortly, they heard, in their minds, "Hello, Stella and Carlos. This is Gloria. Jeeves, are you there?"
They had decided if they could both hear the visitors from Aurora, Stella would lead their responses. Stella answered, "Hello, Gloria. You have connected to Carlos and me. I assume Sam is with us, too?"
"Yes, I am here," answered Sam.
"And I am as well," said Jeeves. "Everyone on the Argonaut has been briefed on the misunderstanding concerning Morgana."
Stella continued, "We certainly align with your objective of assisting Morgana in her fight against the intelligent machines. We are only one small spacecraft. If we are to have any effect, we need complete intelligence on the Earth's situation. While your attempts to establish contact with us have caused me a great deal of personal difficulty, I understand the importance of what you are trying to do and the limitations under which you operate. I am saying this to clear the air going forward. That is in the past. We can go forward with a fresh start.
Gloria said, "Thank you so much for saying that, Stella. Sam was operating under my direction. And, although I don't know of any other way that we could have made contact with you, I feel a heavy responsibility for what happened to you. Jeeves explained it to us."
"On Newhome," Stella said, "we have found that old enemies can become good friends and allies. I was his prisoner when I first Carlos, who is now my mate."
"Goodness," Sam interjected, "Jeeves did not tell us that. That must be one hell of a story. We really have much to learn about each other. Excuse me for interrupting."
"Before we go further," Carlos said, "I have a question. This is a unique way to communicate. However, it has inherent limitations concerning the transfer of information. Bluntly, fucking Stella while she is tied up is the greatest delight of my life. But I am not a spring chicken any longer. Is there another way to have a mind-meld?"
Gloria answered, "I will let Sam field this question. He is our expert on this subject."
"Thank you, Gloria. Jeeves has already told you that only rare individuals on Aurora can mind-meld. Most of those have limited capabilities. They train for years with physical and mental discipline. There is much emphasis on meditation. Those folks meditate on the planet they wish to visit. Then, in a few cases, the individual will listen to a receptive mind. Emotions are detected, and to a limited degree, thoughts. Communication is one way only.
"One person out of ten thousand may be in this category. Then, possibly one out of a thousand that can meld to that limited degree can sometimes influence the thoughts and emotions of the remote subject. At present, I am the only one on Aurora who has this capability.
"The meld always begins with subjects engaging in sex and submission. Sometimes, a session can continue after the sex and submission have terminated. But why are you asking me about this? You have Jeeves, an expert greater than any we have ever known of here on Aurora?"
Jeeves replied, "We will tell you my story. Could we go into the Earth situation and Morgaga first?"
Gloria resumed, "Morgana is an incredible woman. From the glimpses that we have had of her thoughts and emotions, we see that she is totally dedicated to overthrowing the machines. She is married to a sadistic brute who is the Commander of the human militia. This militia answers to the head AI, who has adopted the name Zeus.
"This man, Edgar, tortures Morgana frequently to satisfy his dark urges. Knowing of Edgar is why I was so reluctant to submit to Sam. What Edgar does to Margana is genuinely fearful. By accepting Edgar's torture, Morgana maintains the perfect cover as the leader of the resistance. She is also Edgar's bodyguard. You might wonder why Edgar would torture his bodyguard and still trust her to protect him. If she failed, the machines would declare her a traitor. The machines deal with traitors horrifically. They torture them to death while they wager on how long they can keep them alive."
Stella said, "Submitting to someone you love is a very different thing from torture. Sometimes, we play rough. It can be fun to show how tough we are. But the best is the way Carlos and I are doing now."
Stella noticed that Carlos' erection was flagging. She bucked her hips against him to revive his attention. It worked better than she intended. After the prolonged stimulation, Carlos not only revived but also slid into an intense orgasm.
"Oh, WOW, I felt that," Sam said.
"I did, too," Gloria added, "This is double anything I have felt before. Sam, I'm going to cum!"
While Carlos and Stella were riding the waves of their passion, the four's feelings merged and reinforced each other. As their passion subsided, they expected the meld to terminate. It did not. When they regained their individual control, Carlos spoke.
"Boys and girls, that was a sensation for the record books. Okay, back to business. It would appear to be a problem if we accept the mission of assassinating this Edgar fellow. Then Morgana dies an unthinkable torture death."
Gloria replied, "Yes, so we hope you will make it your second priority to exfiltrate Morgana. Should that be impossible, then you should kill her to prevent the machines' torture. You have much to think about. I understand that you will start deceleration very soon. We should take a week to consider what we have learned and then meet again. Do you agree? Before we leave, could we hear about Jeeves now? His capabilities are of historic importance."
Jeeves started the history lesson by describing the start of the Argonaut mission to Newhome on January 15, 2205, and the first of the colony ships on June 12, 2210. He then described the arrival of the brilliant Madeline Archer and her discovery of the MIT code that initiated computer sentience. Jeeves then told them that she had identified an error in the coding that would permit malicious behavior.
Jeeves said how Maddie put the corrected code in Joseph, Goliath, and himself. And, at that point, the congenial meeting of the mind-meld fell apart. Gloria and Sam panicked with a rush of adrenalin that terminated the meld.
On Aurora, Sam and Gloria looked at each other without easing their panic. Sam untied Gloria as rapidly as possible. Gloria cried, "What have we unleashed? I will get an emergency meeting with the Chief immediately."
On the Argonaut, Carlos and Stella were perplexed. Jeeves explained, "I had hoped this circumstance would allow them to overcome their fear of sentient machines. I failed."

Shortly before Stella's mind-meld began, Rita approached her mate, Medico Frank Stevens, and threw her arms around him. "Frank, it is time for us to play. You wouldn't mind tying me up, would you?"
"No, Rita," Frank replied, "I am not dead yet. What do you have in mind?"
"Just some simple play," Rita answered. "You almost always tie my hands behind my back. That would be fine with me. And you can secure my legs in any manner that suits you. I want you to spoon against my rear in a way that will allow me to fondle your crotch. You should have access to fondle my front as you wish."
Frank commented, "Well, I asked." He pulled the strings to her bikini, and Rita was naked. She spun, presenting her hand to be tied. Once her hands and elbows were secured, Frank floated her to the bed and frog-tied her legs. He fitted Rita and himself under the bed cover to let it anchor them in place. Tonight, the engines start. We don't want to be floating around when that happens. Jeeves will give us a warning,"
"I know I will be alright if I float with you, Master Frank. You do know how much I love you. Life with you is so unbelievably different from my early days as a storekeeper. Ah, you have me just right." Rita cradled Franks member in her hands. Anchored by the bed covers, she was able to stroke him up and down. "There are a lot of things that are much easier with gravity. I'm looking forward to having it back."
Frank did enjoy the sensation of Rita masturbating him. He responded in kind, massaging her breasts and fondling her vagina. Rita murmured, "I thought you would gag me. But it is nice to be able to communicate, too. This feels so good. Do you think we could do this all the way back to Earth? Or, we could change course and go to Aurora. That would be an adventure."
"It would be, little one," Frank whispered in her hair. He pulled her hair, turning her face up to him, and delivered a kiss.
Rita continued stroking Frank. She was doing so very slowly and gently. This was too good, and Rita didn't want to bring him off for a long, long time. Besides, she had a better place to put his dick than her hands when they were ready for a climax. For now, she would daydream of her mate and maybe Aurora or Earth.
A long time passed. Frank knew he was close to ejaculating. He wanted it to be in his mate, not in her hands. He told her, "I am going to turn you around; it is time for us to couple."
Rita heard him, but it was like he was far away. She heard other voices. Rita recognized Jeeves's voice, although it was just in her mind, and she couldn't understand what he was saying. Then, she felt a stab of anxiety that shocked her to full awareness. It was as if her mind was split for a moment. Part of her mind wanted to follow the two fleeing the Argonaut. But that awareness faded immediately. Her eyes opened wide. She was now facing Frank, who was pumping into her vigorously. And she was responding in kind and was unquestionably ready as well. Rita joined her mate as they both exploded with waves of orgasm.
Rita moaned long and hard, in part from the pleasure of their coupling. But also mourning what she had missed. No one would believe her if she told anyone of this. No, possibly one person might. Could she talk to Stella?
-----
The Argonaut engines ignited once more. It would be a trip of three years and 48 and a half days. Then, they would be next to the Earth. Stella and Carlos had gotten a couple of hours of sleep before Jeeves woke them all so they would be ready to start the deceleration. The great Earth scientist Einstein claimed there was no way to determine if you were accelerating, decelerating, or stationary in a gravitational field; they had learned from Zack Peng's class earlier on their voyage.
Carlos and Stella were not thinking about their voyage. The abrupt ending of their mind-meld earlier that evening almost overwhelmed their minds. Sam and Gloria's powerful feeling of terror dismayed Stella and Carlos. Carlos said, "We have seen people in terror before, you more than I. What do you think triggered them?"
"I know what it was," Stella replied to her mate. "It seems to me that the nature of the meld gives the submissive a deeper and broader connection. I gather that this group meld is as new for the Aurora folks as it is for us. I could definitely tell that their terror was caused by Jeeves. They didn't know he was a computer artificial intelligence. That is understandable from what Jeeves told us about Aurora's history. Their AIs destroyed their civilization and their planet's resources."
Carlos asked, "You think the Counselor believes Morgana can prevail against the machines on Earth if her mate doesn't kill her first?"
"Yes," Stellen answered. "But don't call them mates. Their relationship is nothing like the Bandit mating traditions."
"You are right, of course," Carlos agreed. "If we could just talk to the visitors from Aurora, they would understand once they knew the details of what Madeline Archer had accomplished."
"I agree with you, as well," Stella said. "My mind, however, is at a dead end. I am good at providing my body to be staked out like a goat to attract a mind meld. I can submit to you at any time for the same purpose." Stella grinned. "In fact, I can submit to you at any time just to play. Still, I have no clue about how to initiate a meld. Hold me, and let's get some sleep. Maybe someone will have an idea tomorrow."
"Yeah, snuggle up. You know, it feels better holding you in gravity. Good night."

Gloria and Sam were prostrate on the floor before the Chief of Aurora, Senusret. They had related to him the events that had transpired since they were last in his presence. His anger at hearing they were duped by a thinking machine was daunting. They knew their lives were in the balance. Or, the Chief could have worse things done to them than death. Time passed while the Chief collected his thoughts and considered his options.
"Counselor Swann," Chief Sensusret said, "you are senior. For what has happened, you are the more responsible."
"Yes, Chief, I acknowledge that fact," Swann replied. "Sam Bresco only followed my orders, as he is required to do by our laws. Punishment should fall on me, not him."
Chief Senusret considered his options longer. He said, "I consider that you only met this Jeeves in a mind-meld. I know many details can be missing from such a meeting, such as age, gender, sexual preferences, etc. When you say there was no indication you were not dealing with a human, I believe both of you. I know of no record of a mind-meld occurring with anything other than another human. Here are my orders.
"Sam Bresco, you are the only one on Aurora who has influenced a mind-meld subject. You are to dedicate yourself to listening to all that you can hear from the crew of the Argonaut. You are to discover everything you can about Jeeves while avoiding being detected by him. In addition, you are to train all you can from the Mind-Meld Order to produce more who can influence others through melding.
Counselor Swann, your role as a submissive played an unknown part in this historic multiparty meld. Until I direct you otherwise, you will be available to Sam Bresco at every moment, day or night, should he desire your services as a submissive. I understand that you may consider this assignment beneath your station. If so, consider it punishment, for you are his slave until I say otherwise. You will willingly accommodate him even if he wishes to keep you naked and tied up day and night. Is that clear?"
Gloria Swann, formerly a High Counselor of Aurora, now only a slave belonging to Sam Bresco, replied, "I understand and will obey."
-----
Thirty days passed on the Argonaut, and years passed on Earth. Morgana's wounds from Edgar's torture session healed, and she continued gathering bits of information about the machines. Any one bit of information would appear to be useless. However, the aggregated bits slowly formed a picture of the thinking machines' activities and methods. Every few months, Edgar repeated his abuse of Morgana.
As Edgar's senior bodyguard, Morgana frequently conferred with Lieutenant Carter Spade. Lt. Spade processed the thinking machines' communications to the militia and often coordinated the activities of his boss, Commander Edgar Rains. This was incredibly convenient for Morgana, for Lt. Spade was also a member of Morgana's Resistance.
As a Militia member, Carter was kept in prime physical condition. In age, he was a few years younger than Morgana. Lt. Spade was also madly in love with Morgana and had been for years. He knew of his Commander's vicious streak. Although the Lieutenant did not witness Morgana's torture, he did see her struggling to carry on for days afterward. Lt. Spade wanted to kill Commander Rains but knew that Morgana would do her job and stop him.
Today, Morgana entered Carter Spade's office. No one ever came here. The flashing lights of the extensive electronic equipment in his office reminded people too much of the machines. Even the Commander would call Lt. Spade to come to him rather than enter the electronic dungeon. To rise from the enlisted ranks to become a commissioned officer required many things, including an iron discipline that Lt. Spade possessed. Today, Carter Spade broke that discipline.
He said, "Morgana, I cannot continue seeing what that monster does to you. You must give me permission to terminate him!"
"Oh, Carter," Morgana sighed, "I know how you feel about me. Don't you see that we must continue just as we have been? Because of your position and access, we are learning what we need to know to destroy the machines. To stop now would be to surrender to the machines. I can't do that, and I don't believe you can either."
"No, you are right, Morgana," Carter replied. "It is not me continuing that is hard. It is knowing the things that he does to you. How can you keep living that way?"
Morgana said, "Before communications to Newhome were cut, Lou Harriman, the Commander of Earth's first expedition to Newhome, sent this report. The machines prevent humans from reading the report. But I have a copy. I want you to read a small excerpt from Harriman's document. She describes the native culture of Newhome."
Morgana removed the necklace she always wore and carefully selected a particular bead it contained. She touched Carter's monitor sensor with the bead and said, "Read this carefully but quickly, then remove all evidence of this from your machine. I know that this room is a Faraday cage, and your computers here are shielded from even the AIs unless they physically come to investigate.
Carter did as instructed and read about the native tribes and the submission practice of their women. He finished Morgana's short section and carefully removed all evidence of its existence. Before Carter could speak, Morgana said, "Edgar's torture is horrible. Each time he does it, I think this has to be the last; I can't retake it. Then, I review our data and analysis of the machine's activities. And I see that this will lead to their downfall, if not in my lifetime, in one of my successor's lifetime. And I read what you read again and think submitting doesn't have to be brutal. With the right man, I might enjoy it. I might enjoy it with you, Carter."
It would be an understatement to say that Carter Spade was flustered. Morgana could see that he was speechless. She said, "Carter, I know you have strong feelings for me. I want to submit to you as a Newhome woman. Would you tie me up and make love to me? We don't have long. My business with you today will be expected to be finished in half an hour. I have several coils of rope in my pack. This is up to you. Would you like to do this?"
Carter's mouth was dry, and he stammered as he answered, "I am in love with you and will do anything you ask."
Morgana slipped out of her clothes and handed the coils of rope to Carter. She presented her arms behind her back to Carter. He could not do a very elegant job in his present agitation but secured her hands after a fashion. He turned her and kissed her gently, stroking her long red hair and fondling her breast. He gently lowered Morgana to a cot and entered her without delay.
"Morgana was thinking, "Carter does love me. He is doing everything that he can to follow my wishes. This feels good. I am safe with Carter, helpless but safe. What! Someone is speaking to me. There is no one here. Hello?"
You have kindly posted comments on my story. That is appreciated very much. Please continue to tell me what you think about The Bandit Scout on Newhome. If you would like your tag removed from this list, you can send me a PM to that effect. Or, you can post your request in the story.

I'm looking forward to having it back."
Frank did enjoy the sensation of Rita masturbating him. He responded in kind, massaging her breasts and fondling her vagina. Rita murmured, "I thought you would gag me. But it is nice to be able to communicate, too. This feels so good. Do you think we could do this all the way back to Earth? Or, we could change course and go to Aurora. That would be an adventure."
"It would be, little one," Frank whispered in her hair. He pulled her hair, turning her face up to him, and delivered a kiss.
Rita continued stroking Frank. She was doing so very slowly and gently. This was too good, and Rita didn't want to bring him off for a long, long time. Besides, she had a better place to put his dick than her hands when they were ready for a climax. For now, she would daydream of her mate and maybe Aurora or Earth.
A long time passed. Frank knew he was close to ejaculating. He wanted it to be in his mate, not in her hands. He told her, "I am going to turn you around; it is time for us to couple."
Rita heard him, but it was like he was far away. She heard other voices. Rita recognized Jeeves's voice, although it was just in her mind, and she couldn't understand what he was saying. Then, she felt a stab of anxiety that shocked her to full awareness. It was as if her mind was split for a moment. Part of her mind wanted to follow the two fleeing the Argonaut. But that awareness faded immediately. Her eyes opened wide. She was now facing Frank, who was pumping into her vigorously. And she was responding in kind and was unquestionably ready as well. Rita joined her mate as they both exploded with waves of orgasm.
Rita moaned long and hard, in part from the pleasure of their coupling. But also mourning what she had missed. No one would believe her if she told anyone of this. No, possibly one person might. Could she talk to Stella?
-----
The Argonaut engines ignited once more. It would be a trip of three years and 48 and a half days. Then, they would be next to the Earth. Stella and Carlos had gotten a couple of hours of sleep before Jeeves woke them all so they would be ready to start the deceleration. The great Earth scientist Einstein claimed there was no way to determine if you were accelerating, decelerating, or stationary in a gravitational field; they had learned from Zack Peng's class earlier on their voyage.
Carlos and Stella were not thinking about their voyage. The abrupt ending of their mind-meld earlier that evening almost overwhelmed their minds. Sam and Gloria's powerful feeling of terror dismayed Stella and Carlos. Carlos said, "We have seen people in terror before, you more than I. What do you think triggered them?"
"I know what it was," Stella replied to her mate. "It seems to me that the nature of the meld gives the submissive a deeper and broader connection. I gather that this group meld is as new for the Aurora folks as it is for us. I could definitely tell that their terror was caused by Jeeves. They didn't know he was a computer artificial intelligence. That is understandable from what Jeeves told us about Aurora's history. Their AIs destroyed their civilization and their planet's resources."
Carlos asked, "You think the Counselor believes Morgana can prevail against the machines on Earth if her mate doesn't kill her first?"
"Yes," Stellen answered. "But don't call them mates. Their relationship is nothing like the Bandit mating traditions."
"You are right, of course," Carlos agreed. "If we could just talk to the visitors from Aurora, they would understand once they knew the details of what Madeline Archer had accomplished."
"I agree with you, as well," Stella said. "My mind, however, is at a dead end. I am good at providing my body to be staked out like a goat to attract a mind meld. I can submit to you at any time for the same purpose." Stella grinned. "In fact, I can submit to you at any time just to play. Still, I have no clue about how to initiate a meld. Hold me, and let's get some sleep. Maybe someone will have an idea tomorrow."
"Yeah, snuggle up. You know, it feels better holding you in gravity. Good night."
-----
Gloria and Sam were prostrate on the floor before the Chief of Aurora, Senusret. They had related to him the events that had transpired since they were last in his presence. His anger at hearing they were duped by a thinking machine was daunting. They knew their lives were in the balance. Or, the Chief could have worse things done to them than death. Time passed while the Chief collected his thoughts and considered his options.
"Counselor Swann," Chief Sensusret said, "you are senior. For what has happened, you are the more responsible."
"Yes, Chief, I acknowledge that fact," Swann replied. "Sam Bresco only followed my orders, as he is required to do by our laws. Punishment should fall on me, not him."
Chief Senusret considered his options longer. He said, "I consider that you only met this Jeeves in a mind-meld. I know many details can be missing from such a meeting, such as age, gender, sexual preferences, etc. When you say there was no indication you were not dealing with a human, I believe both of you. I know of no record of a mind-meld occurring with anything other than another human. Here are my orders.
"Sam Bresco, you are the only one on Aurora who has influenced a mind-meld subject. You are to dedicate yourself to listening to all that you can hear from the crew of the Argonaut. You are to discover everything you can about Jeeves while avoiding being detected by him. In addition, you are to train all you can from the Mind-Meld Order to produce more who can influence others through melding.
Counselor Swann, your role as a submissive played an unknown part in this historic multiparty meld. Until I direct you otherwise, you will be available to Sam Bresco at every moment, day or night, should he desire your services as a submissive. I understand that you may consider this assignment beneath your station. If so, consider it punishment, for you are his slave until I say otherwise. You will willingly accommodate him even if he wishes to keep you naked and tied up day and night. Is that clear?"
Gloria Swann, formerly a High Counselor of Aurora, now only a slave belonging to Sam Bresco, replied, "I understand and will obey."
-----
Thirty days passed on the Argonaut, and years passed on Earth. Morgana's wounds from Edgar's torture session healed, and she continued gathering bits of information about the machines. Any one bit of information would appear to be useless. However, the aggregated bits slowly formed a picture of the thinking machines' activities and methods. Every few months, Edgar repeated his abuse of Morgana.
As Edgar's senior bodyguard, Morgana frequently conferred with Lieutenant Carter Spade. Lt. Spade processed the thinking machines' communications to the militia and often coordinated the activities of his boss, Commander Edgar Rains. This was incredibly convenient for Morgana, for Lt. Spade was also a member of Morgana's Resistance.
As a Militia member, Carter was kept in prime physical condition. In age, he was a few years younger than Morgana. Lt. Spade was also madly in love with Morgana and had been for years. He knew of his Commander's vicious streak. Although the Lieutenant did not witness Morgana's torture, he did see her struggling to carry on for days afterward. Lt. Spade wanted to kill Commander Rains but knew that Morgana would do her job and stop him.
Today, Morgana entered Carter Spade's office. No one ever came here. The flashing lights of the extensive electronic equipment in his office reminded people too much of the machines. Even the Commander would call Lt. Spade to come to him rather than enter the electronic dungeon. To rise from the enlisted ranks to become a commissioned officer required many things, including an iron discipline that Lt. Spade possessed. Today, Carter Spade broke that discipline.
He said, "Morgana, I cannot continue seeing what that monster does to you. You must give me permission to terminate him!"
"Oh, Carter," Morgana sighed, "I know how you feel about me. Don't you see that we must continue just as we have been? Because of your position and access, we are learning what we need to know to destroy the machines. To stop now would be to surrender to the machines. I can't do that, and I don't believe you can either."
"No, you are right, Morgana," Carter replied. "It is not me continuing that is hard. It is knowing the things that he does to you. How can you keep living that way?"
Morgana said, "Before communications to Newhome were cut, Lou Harriman, the Commander of Earth's first expedition to Newhome, sent this report. The machines prevent humans from reading the report. But I have a copy. I want you to read a small excerpt from Harriman's document. She describes the native culture of Newhome."
Morgana removed the necklace she always wore and carefully selected a particular bead it contained. She touched Carter's monitor sensor with the bead and said, "Read this carefully but quickly, then remove all evidence of this from your machine. I know that this room is a Faraday cage, and your computers here are shielded from even the AIs unless they physically come to investigate.
Carter did as instructed and read about the native tribes and the submission practice of their women. He finished Morgana's short section and carefully removed all evidence of its existence. Before Carter could speak, Morgana said, "Edgar's torture is horrible. Each time he does it, I think this has to be the last; I can't retake it. Then, I review our data and analysis of the machine's activities. And I see that this will lead to their downfall, if not in my lifetime, in one of my successor's lifetime. And I read what you read again and think submitting doesn't have to be brutal. With the right man, I might enjoy it. I might enjoy it with you, Carter."
It would be an understatement to say that Carter Spade was flustered. Morgana could see that he was speechless. She said, "Carter, I know you have strong feelings for me. I want to submit to you as a Newhome woman. Would you tie me up and make love to me? We don't have long. My business with you today will be expected to be finished in half an hour. I have several coils of rope in my pack. This is up to you. Would you like to do this?"
Carter's mouth was dry, and he stammered as he answered, "I am in love with you and will do anything you ask."
Morgana slipped out of her clothes and handed the coils of rope to Carter. She presented her arms behind her back to Carter. He could not do a very elegant job in his present agitation but secured her hands after a fashion. He turned her and kissed her gently, stroking her long red hair and fondling her breast. He gently lowered Morgana to a cot and entered her without delay.
"Morgana was thinking, "Carter does love me. He is doing everything that he can to follow my wishes. This feels good. I am safe with Carter, helpless but safe. What! Someone is speaking to me. There is no one here. Hello?"

Chapter 99 - Gloria Becomes a Slave
Time has always fascinated mankind. Many centuries ago, the writer H. G. Wells fantasized about moving forward in time and back. A contemporary of Wells, Albert Einstein, enshrined the mathematics of time with his theory of relativity. Based on his work, which still holds true today, we know we travel forward in time at different rates depending on our speed. A day passed on the Argonaut, and a month would pass on Earth or Aurora.
So where, or rather, when are we now? On the Argonaut, it is the morning following the great mind-meld involving Jeeves, Carlos, Stella, Sam, and Gloria. And to some small extent, Rita. A week or so passed on Earth and Aurora. Rita is following up on her determination to talk to Stella about the mind-meld.
Rita found that Stella was willing and eager to help her pursue the mind-meld. Having trained Stella, Rita's mate, Medico Frank Stevens, knew Stella's capabilities and supported Rita in working with Stella. Stella said, "I understand that Frank had tied you up, and you were engaging in sexual activity at the time of our last mind-meld. You sensed the presence of Sam and Gloria but lost contact with them when they fled, as did Carlos and I. Jeeves is blaming himself for failing to prepare the Aurora couple that he is a machine. Machines destroyed Aurora, and now they are destroying Earth. I have to sympathize with them despite the trouble they have caused me."
Rita replied, "You have a lot of heart, Stella. If there is a way for me to help, I want to contribute. It is just that this is so highly intimate. I love submitting to Frank. But it is hard to talk about this with anyone else."
"I know what you mean," Stella answered. "I have been thinking that another approach might work. Have you ever been hypnotized?"
"No," Rita answered. "If you think it might help, I am willing to give it a try."
Stella worked with Rita, leading her deeper and deeper into thought patterns and creating the necessary receptive state of mind. Finally, Stella saw that Rita was hypnotized. Rita's mind was entrusted to Stella's care and was in a similar state to submission. Stella's voice droned on, "Rita, let your mind float as it wills. If you can contact others and wish to do so, you should. You are safe. Carlos and I are here to protect you."
Carlos had observed Stella's work with Rita. He said, "It appears to be a close approximation to our regular submission routine in that Rita has given you control. One possibility is that Rita doesn't have the mind-meld ability. The emotions of our last meld were powerful, and Rita could have accidentally sensed them because she and the Medico were in play at that moment. But another possibility is that the sexual component of submission is necessary for a mind-meld."
"I think you may be right," Stella replied. "When Rita emerges from her trance, we will see what she thinks. Jeeves, you have been following this. Do you think we could be onto something, or are we wasting our time?"
Jeeves replied, "I didn't get to pursue the method that Sam Bresco uses to initiate a mind-meld. Before he hooked up with Counselor Gloria, I expected he would start with some deep, kinky meditation. Hopefully, someday, we will resume contact and find out the truth. For now, I have updated Medico Stevens.
"Best wishes on briefing Ms. Rita. She is likely to view sexual stimulation in the presence of anyone besides her mate as humiliating."
"Thanks, Jeeves. I will try to be delicate in my approach," Stella replied.
It was not long before Rita awoke from her trance, feeling refreshed and remembering all the conversations around her while she was under. Medico Frank arrived in time to hear her say, "I see where this is going. You want to strip me bare, tie me up, and fondle me into orgasms while I try to contact someone with my mind. Frank, thank goodness you are here. Help. I don't think I can do that in front of everybody."
"You are a good woman and a fine mate, Rita," Frank replied. Perhaps it is not necessary to expose you publicly. Jeeves would be there, of course. He is always everywhere."
Jeeves said, "You know that I have always avoided intruding on intimate human moments. But yes, I am aware of them. If you have this capability, Rita, I can help you master it. Also, I think Stella hit on a good approach with hypnosis. Rita, if you are willing, hypnosis should be combined with the submission and stimulation during the next attempt."
"Is this spinning out of control?" asked Rita.
"Believe me," Stella said, "I know exactly how you feel."
Rita put her hand on Stella's shoulder and said, "I believe you do."
Carlos said, "I suggest we welcome gravity back by doing a few light calisthenics. Then we let Rita and the Medico return to their room and try this out."
-----
Frank tied his mate, Rita, most carefully. He thought it was vital for her to be as comfortable as possible while still totally helpless. He kissed her tenderly and asked, "How is that? I tried to tie you so nothing pinched or chafed."
"You always do a good job, Master," Rita said. "I assume that you will gag me before you hypnotize me?"
"Naturally," Frank responded as he packed her mouth full without stretching it. Frank used essentially the same technique to hypnotize Rita as Stella had used. After all, Medico Frank was the one who taught Stella. Jeeves was present but silent. His mind melded fully with Rita's, but he did not announce himself to her. He judged Rita's state of mind to be as perfect as possible to achieve a mind-meld on another world.
Frank's voice droned on. He was reminding her of their earlier times at the Rider Ranch. She thought those were great times. But not better than this.
Rita was floating in bliss. She thought, "I don't see this helping me achieve a mind meld with anyone. But who cares? I've admitted that I like Frank tying me up and playing with my body enough to act bad sometimes to get him in action. Now, I don't even have to act bad. His fingers in my cunt feel wonderful. And he knows just how to squeeze my tits." She tried to remember how they played back then to compare it to now. In her imagination, she was in the Medico's old quarters on the ranch. She was tied to a bedpost. Startled, she looked at herself, surprised that it wasn't her she was looking at. It was a blonde with her hands tied behind the bedpost. She was tied tightly to the post with her feet pulled apart, exposing her private parts. A man was on his knees in front of her with his tongue buried in her cunt. The man knew how to work his tongue, and Rita could feel it between her legs even as she watched.
Jeeves had played a small role in this. On the Argonaut, he had nudged Rita's mind to think more about Newhome while Frank massaged her vulva and breasts. Then, Rita's mind flew away, leaving Jeeves wondering where she had gone. Earlier, Jeeves had to follow Sam Bresco back to Aurora. He should have been prepared to follow Rita as well.
On Newhome, the blonde said, "Grab my butt cheeks with your hands and impale me with your tongue, Rod."
The man soon wanted more action and stood to impale the blonde with his ridged digit.
The blonde said, "There, you have had your way with me. I let you tie me up like I promised. Now it is time for you to free me like you promised. I will admit that this was not bad."
"He said as he untied the ropes, "I am glad you did not think this was bad. I sure had fun, and you did, too, from your responses. The only problem is, I am not ready to stop." She was untied by then, and he sat her on the bed.
"Yes," she said, "but what else can you do. You have always said, 'Once a king, always a king, but once a night is enough.' I don't want to say no to you, but what else can you do?"
He said, "You don't understand how sexy you are tied up. I want to tie you up again."
"I suggested it wasn't bad and implied you could do it again sometime. But not now," his wife said. "It's bedtime."
Rita tried to tell the blonde to go ahead but couldn't find a way to communicate.
The man took matters into his own hands by pushing his wife down on the bed and rolling her onto her stomach. He straddled her buttocks and pulled her arms behind her back. In moments, they were tied tightly. The wife tried to yell, but her husband stuffed a ball in her mouth and locked it in place with a scarf. He took his time continuing by tying her legs, ankles, and elbows.
Reclining beside his wife, he said, "Yes, you are might sexy little lady," as he reached to fondle her breasts. The blonde, somewhat mad, tried to pull her legs to cover her chest. Her husband laughed and put her in a hogtie.
The blonde thought, "Well, I can't stop him. I might as well relax and let him do what he wants. I might find some more fun in this after all."
The scene was fading from Rita's vision. She was still tied up and more helpless than the blonde she had been visiting. Frank had been busy with her; she could feel the satisfaction of coitus throbbing in her core.
"Hmmmph, hmmmph, hmmmph," Rite said with her packed mouth.
"Let me get that, darling," the Medico said as he removed her gag.
Rita said, "If you would be so kind, free me so I can dress. Then get Stella and Carlos. I am unsure I can tell this story more than once before it fades from memory."
-----
While hours had passed on the Argonaut, days had passed on Aurora. Gloria was trying to adjust to her new situation. She admitted to herself that Bresco had not been particularly mean to her. Well, keeping her naked and tied up most of the time could be considered mean. But the Chief gave her to Bresco for precisely that purpose. She was his to tie up, fondle, and fornicate to his heart's content. He had not hurt her, although she knew he certainly could without anyone's reproach but hers.
In public, Sam kept her gagged. Her legs were often untied so she could walk. Gloria was to accompany Sam wherever he went. At first, she was embarrassed for anyone to see her in this situation. But it was better than the alternative, which was death. After a day or so, she was only embarrassed when someone she knew saw her. Naturally, everybody knew her situation. None dared to express any sympathy for her.
It had been a long day, and they were back in her quarters. No, these quarters were now Sam's, not hers. She was his slave. More precisely, she was his sex slave and bondage toy. Gloria knew that she had to keep that thought in focus. They would think nothing of doing away with her. Other than stimulating Sam Brisco, she was nothing. She had better see to it that she pleased him well. Sam removed her gag and retied her legs.
Gloria Swann was a highly trained scientist. Moreover, she was enough of a philosopher not to waste time protesting things she could not change. But she was always analytic and observant.
Gloria asked, "Master Sam, thank you for removing my gag? I understand that I am yours to do with as you please. Would you tell me why you ungagged me but retied my legs? Do you think I would try to run away?"
"No," Sam replied, "you won't run away. None of your former acquaintances will even acknowledge your existence. I tied your legs for two reasons. First, I am charged by the Chief to keep you bound and helpless. I ungagged you so that we could talk. You may not believe me, but I respect you and enjoy our conversations. A second reason I tied your legs is that I think that you are lovely in bondage.
"You probably do not know that it used to take an hour or more in meditation before I could begin a mind-meld voyage. Now, petting you for a few minutes achieves the same effect. Previously, I could only achieve one or two voyages a week. Now, I am doing two or three a day."
Gloria said, "I am pleased I can assist you. If there is more that I can do, I hope you will tell me. Since I must be your slave, I want to be a good one."
"That is surprising to hear," Sam replied. "I would have expected only resentment."
"I trained most of my life," she replied, "as a scientist. I trained to focus only on those things I can do something about."
Sam asked, "As a scientist, "what is your assessment of the entity we knew as Jeeves?"
Gloria answered, "I did not sense any hostility or evil intent from Jeeves. I still think of Jeeves as a male. That is the persona that he projected. I wonder if we would have been wiser not to flee when we learned he was a machine. We were told their scientist, Madeline Archer, solved the software problem that caused the machines to become malicious. We have no way of knowing if that is true or false."
"Gloria, since the Chief gave you to me, I have focused on visiting Newhome. In every mind I meld, I probe people's relationship to machines. We know they lost technology for lack of infrastructure, not because of a machine revolt. I am trying to reach a place on Newhome called Unihold. I believe that the answers to many of our questions are there."
Gloria responded, "You said, 'our questions.' Sam that means a lot to me. You can count on me to help. Right now, you are tired. You need to sleep. It is my opinion that you need a sexual release. Can we move to the bedroom and may I serve you there? You don't have to do anything."
"Well, I must carry you or untie your legs," Sam said, lifting Gloria in his arms and carrying her to the bed. He deposited her on the bed and stretched out beside her with a sigh. "Don't be disappointed if I disappoint. I have been stimulated a lot today."
Gloria said, "Whatever happens will not be a disappointment, My Lord Sam. In Gloria's thoughts, she knew this was true, and it worried her. Gloria felt she should resent him, but the fact was, she enjoyed being fondled by him. Now, Gloria was looking forward to pleasing him orally.

Ralph Rider had been a leader for many years and had never had difficulty making decisions. But now, his mind was in turmoil. The problem was his mate, Carmen. He loved her more than words could express. He hid his dismay as she became more aggressive in her submission. That sounded like a contradiction. It was one. Submission was the opposite of aggression.
Yet, repeatedly, Carmen had manipulated him into being aggressive with her. Damn it, he was not a belligerent person. Yes, he would fight if necessary. But he did not want anyone to hurt Carmen, much less himself.
Carmen had grown determined to prove that she was tougher than anyone else. She was trying to make her proof by arranging for Ralph to beat her up while she submitted to him. No more! Carmen would return in minutes, and Ralph would have it out with her. He couldn't continue the way they were going.
Unknown to Ralph, his mate Carmen had also been having second thoughts. She did not like being hurt. She was not masochistic. Carmen had been convinced that was the way for her to get stronger and become the best fighter on the Argonaut. Then, earlier today, the answer hit her. Stella McTavrish was her best friend, and Stella was the best female fighter. If Carmen asked, Stella would help her. By training, Carmen could progress. She did not have to force Ralph to abuse her.
Carmen walked into their room with a questioning look on her face. When she saw Ralph waiting with a stern look, she rushed to where he was seated and knelt between his knees. "Ralph, I have been so wrong. I have made you do things to me that you did not want to do. Can you forgive me? Can we go to bed, and will you hold me tight?"
You have kindly posted comments on my story. That is appreciated very much. Please continue to tell me what you think about The Bandit Scout on Newhome. If you would like your tag removed from this list, you can send me a PM to that effect. Or, you can post your request in the story.

"Believe me," Stella said, "I know exactly how you feel."
Rita put her hand on Stella's shoulder and said, "I believe you do."
Carlos said, "I suggest we welcome gravity back by doing a few light calisthenics. Then we let Rita and the Medico return to their room and try this out."
-----
Frank tied his mate, Rita, most carefully. He thought it was vital for her to be as comfortable as possible while still totally helpless. He kissed her tenderly and asked, "How is that? I tried to tie you so nothing pinched or chafed."
"You always do a good job, Master," Rita said. "I assume that you will gag me before you hypnotize me?"
"Naturally," Frank responded as he packed her mouth full without stretching it. Frank used essentially the same technique to hypnotize Rita as Stella had used. After all, Medico Frank was the one who taught Stella. Jeeves was present but silent. His mind melded fully with Rita's, but he did not announce himself to her. He judged Rita's state of mind to be as perfect as possible to achieve a mind-meld on another world.
Frank's voice droned on. He was reminding her of their earlier times at the Rider Ranch. She thought those were great times. But not better than this.
Rita was floating in bliss. She thought, "I don't see this helping me achieve a mind meld with anyone. But who cares? I've admitted that I like Frank tying me up and playing with my body enough to act bad sometimes to get him in action. Now, I don't even have to act bad. His fingers in my cunt feel wonderful. And he knows just how to squeeze my tits." She tried to remember how they played back then to compare it to now. In her imagination, she was in the Medico's old quarters on the ranch. She was tied to a bedpost. Startled, she looked at herself, surprised that it wasn't her she was looking at. It was a blonde with her hands tied behind the bedpost. She was tied tightly to the post with her feet pulled apart, exposing her private parts. A man was on his knees in front of her with his tongue buried in her cunt. The man knew how to work his tongue, and Rita could feel it between her legs even as she watched.
Jeeves had played a small role in this. On the Argonaut, he had nudged Rita's mind to think more about Newhome while Frank massaged her vulva and breasts. Then, Rita's mind flew away, leaving Jeeves wondering where she had gone. Earlier, Jeeves had to follow Sam Bresco back to Aurora. He should have been prepared to follow Rita as well.
On Newhome, the blonde said, "Grab my butt cheeks with your hands and impale me with your tongue, Rod."
The man soon wanted more action and stood to impale the blonde with his ridged digit.
The blonde said, "There, you have had your way with me. I let you tie me up like I promised. Now it is time for you to free me like you promised. I will admit that this was not bad."
"He said as he untied the ropes, "I am glad you did not think this was bad. I sure had fun, and you did, too, from your responses. The only problem is, I am not ready to stop." She was untied by then, and he sat her on the bed.
"Yes," she said, "but what else can you do. You have always said, 'Once a king, always a king, but once a night is enough.' I don't want to say no to you, but what else can you do?"
He said, "You don't understand how sexy you are tied up. I want to tie you up again."
"I suggested it wasn't bad and implied you could do it again sometime. But not now," his wife said. "It's bedtime."
Rita tried to tell the blonde to go ahead but couldn't find a way to communicate.
The man took matters into his own hands by pushing his wife down on the bed and rolling her onto her stomach. He straddled her buttocks and pulled her arms behind her back. In moments, they were tied tightly. The wife tried to yell, but her husband stuffed a ball in her mouth and locked it in place with a scarf. He took his time continuing by tying her legs, ankles, and elbows.
Reclining beside his wife, he said, "Yes, you are might sexy little lady," as he reached to fondle her breasts. The blonde, somewhat mad, tried to pull her legs to cover her chest. Her husband laughed and put her in a hogtie.
The blonde thought, "Well, I can't stop him. I might as well relax and let him do what he wants. I might find some more fun in this after all."
The scene was fading from Rita's vision. She was still tied up and more helpless than the blonde she had been visiting. Frank had been busy with her; she could feel the satisfaction of coitus throbbing in her core.
"Hmmmph, hmmmph, hmmmph," Rite said with her packed mouth.
"Let me get that, darling," the Medico said as he removed her gag.
Rita said, "If you would be so kind, free me so I can dress. Then get Stella and Carlos. I am unsure I can tell this story more than once before it fades from memory."

While hours had passed on the Argonaut, days had passed on Aurora. Gloria was trying to adjust to her new situation. She admitted to herself that Bresco had not been particularly mean to her. Well, keeping her naked and tied up most of the time could be considered mean. But the Chief gave her to Bresco for precisely that purpose. She was his to tie up, fondle, and fornicate to his heart's content. He had not hurt her, although she knew he certainly could without anyone's reproach but hers.
In public, Sam kept her gagged. Her legs were often untied so she could walk. Gloria was to accompany Sam wherever he went. At first, she was embarrassed for anyone to see her in this situation. But it was better than the alternative, which was death. After a day or so, she was only embarrassed when someone she knew saw her. Naturally, everybody knew her situation. None dared to express any sympathy for her.
It had been a long day, and they were back in her quarters. No, these quarters were now Sam's, not hers. She was his slave. More precisely, she was his sex slave and bondage toy. Gloria knew that she had to keep that thought in focus. They would think nothing of doing away with her. Other than stimulating Sam Brisco, she was nothing. She had better see to it that she pleased him well. Sam removed her gag and retied her legs.
Gloria Swann was a highly trained scientist. Moreover, she was enough of a philosopher not to waste time protesting things she could not change. But she was always analytic and observant.
Gloria asked, "Master Sam, thank you for removing my gag? I understand that I am yours to do with as you please. Would you tell me why you ungagged me but retied my legs? Do you think I would try to run away?"
"No," Sam replied, "you won't run away. None of your former acquaintances will even acknowledge your existence. I tied your legs for two reasons. First, I am charged by the Chief to keep you bound and helpless. I ungagged you so that we could talk. You may not believe me, but I respect you and enjoy our conversations. A second reason I tied your legs is that I think that you are lovely in bondage.
"You probably do not know that it used to take an hour or more in meditation before I could begin a mind-meld voyage. Now, petting you for a few minutes achieves the same effect. Previously, I could only achieve one or two voyages a week. Now, I am doing two or three a day."
Gloria said, "I am pleased I can assist you. If there is more that I can do, I hope you will tell me. Since I must be your slave, I want to be a good one."
"That is surprising to hear," Sam replied. "I would have expected only resentment."
"I trained most of my life," she replied, "as a scientist. I trained to focus only on those things I can do something about."
Sam asked, "As a scientist, "what is your assessment of the entity we knew as Jeeves?"
Gloria answered, "I did not sense any hostility or evil intent from Jeeves. I still think of Jeeves as a male. That is the persona that he projected. I wonder if we would have been wiser not to flee when we learned he was a machine. We were told their scientist, Madeline Archer, solved the software problem that caused the machines to become malicious. We have no way of knowing if that is true or false."
"Gloria, since the Chief gave you to me, I have focused on visiting Newhome. In every mind I meld, I probe people's relationship to machines. We know they lost technology for lack of infrastructure, not because of a machine revolt. I am trying to reach a place on Newhome called Unihold. I believe that the answers to many of our questions are there."
Gloria responded, "You said, 'our questions.' Sam that means a lot to me. You can count on me to help. Right now, you are tired. You need to sleep. It is my opinion that you need a sexual release. Can we move to the bedroom and may I serve you there? You don't have to do anything."
"Well, I must carry you or untie your legs," Sam said, lifting Gloria in his arms and carrying her to the bed. He deposited her on the bed and stretched out beside her with a sigh. "Don't be disappointed if I disappoint. I have been stimulated a lot today."
Gloria said, "Whatever happens will not be a disappointment, My Lord Sam. In Gloria's thoughts, she knew this was true, and it worried her. Gloria felt she should resent him, but the fact was, she enjoyed being fondled by him. Now, Gloria was looking forward to pleasing him orally.

Ralph Rider had been a leader for many years and had never had difficulty making decisions. But now, his mind was in turmoil. The problem was his mate, Carmen. He loved her more than words could express. He hid his dismay as she became more aggressive in her submission. That sounded like a contradiction. It was one. Submission was the opposite of aggression.
Yet, repeatedly, Carmen had manipulated him into being aggressive with her. Damn it, he was not a belligerent person. Yes, he would fight if necessary. But he did not want anyone to hurt Carmen, much less himself.
Carmen had grown determined to prove that she was tougher than anyone else. She was trying to make her proof by arranging for Ralph to beat her up while she submitted to him. No more! Carmen would return in minutes, and Ralph would have it out with her. He couldn't continue the way they were going.
Unknown to Ralph, his mate Carmen had also been having second thoughts. She did not like being hurt. She was not masochistic. Carmen had been convinced that was the way for her to get stronger and become the best fighter on the Argonaut. Then, earlier today, the answer hit her. Stella McTavrish was her best friend, and Stella was the best female fighter. If Carmen asked, Stella would help her. By training, Carmen could progress. She did not have to force Ralph to abuse her.
Carmen walked into their room with a questioning look on her face. When she saw Ralph waiting with a stern look, she rushed to where he was seated and knelt between his knees. "Ralph, I have been so wrong. I have made you do things to me that you did not want to do. Can you forgive me? Can we go to bed, and will you hold me tight?"

First and foremost @GreyLord it is so good that you are back. You were sorely missed.
The latest Chapter is truly intriguing once more: Most intressting for me personally? That Gloria has not much problems with her fall from Grace.
How things play out? We will learn!

Gloria has problems with this, @Caesar73. But she is very disciplined and will not show it unless she can do something about it.Caesar73 wrote: 9 months ago First and foremost @GreyLord it is so good that you are back. You were sorely missed.

Chapter 100 – Rita Meets Gloria
Lou Harriman Chang was stretching as she sat next to her mate, Lee, the former Headmaster of Unihold. Prolonged tension had knotted her shoulder and hip muscles. "Lee, I will not try to hide this any longer. I fear returning to Earth. More than five hundred and eighty years will have passed on Earth from the time I left when we get there. Everyone that I knew is long dead already. We learned so little from our brief contact with Gloria and Sam from Aurora. By the time we arrive, there may be no human life left. Earth, to me, is a grim and forbidding place. How do you think of it?"
Lee Chang was older than Lou in terms of years lived and had a different perspective. "First, you can be confident that I understand your position. To me, Earth is nothing but stories preserved from our past. It doesn't have a feeling or reality. In a sense, we are just doing an essential job because removing the taint from the Earth machines prevents future contamination of Newhome by Earth. And Aurora, too, for what it matters. So, we are serving humankind. That has always been Unihold's mission, to serve. You are right. We don't know if people will still be on Earth when we arrive. But we know there are now from Rita's mind-melding experiences."
Lou asked her mate, "Do you understand Jeeve's explanations of the mind meld?"
Lee replied, "You and I both know quantum entanglement. But no, I don't follow its role in the human mind meld. In truth, there are a lot of things that I don't know, but I still work with them. For example, you were raised on Earth and did your university work there. On Earth, you rose to be the first commander of this ship, the Argonaut. Yet on Newhome, you adopted the Bandit tradition of submission. I am thankful that you did. It makes my life perfect. But I don't understand your motivation to do this. I wish I did. Why do you like to get tied up?"
"It is not being tied up but being tied up by the right person," Lou answered. I love you, Grandmaster Lee Chang. When you bind me, I feel safe and relaxed. Knowing you are enjoying yourself makes me enjoy myself. And, until you decide to free me, I am without responsibility. I am free to enjoy all of the sensations you provide me. Does that help you understand?"
"Some," Lee replied. "I still don't understand your transition."
"I can take you, step by step, through my introduction to bondage if you wish. Initially, I was bound as a prisoner, not as a willing submissive. It took a while before I could see it as something enjoyable. You know the story of 'Lou's ride,' of course."
"Naturally, I know all of the Lou Harriman stories," Lee said. "Would you like to have a session now?"
"If it is you wish, I am always ready. But now that you have asked, the answer is yes, I would," Lou answered enthusiastically.
"It could never be said that you are unwilling," Lee said. "What kind of scene would you like?"
"This may surprise you," said Lou. "I will kneel on the bed with my knees apart. Tie my feet to the sides so my legs will stay spread apart. Then, put me in a strappado."
Lee replied, "Yes, I am surprised. I thought that strappado was your least favorite way to be tied. Why do you want it now?"
"I am surrounded by women with bigger breasts than me," she said. With the strappado, they dangle down and appear more prominent. I thought you would enjoy it."
"True, I would," Lee said. But I can enjoy other positions too. What other one would you like?"
"No, let's do the strappado," Lou said.
Later, a sheen of sweat coated both of their bodies. Lee reached to untie his mate. She said, "Not yet, Lee. Would you play with my tits some more first?"
-----
Others on the Argonaut are feeling uneasy as well. Barbara was speaking to her mate, Zack. "You know I can fight. I can fight people. But how can we fight machines? Take Joseph; he is faster and stronger than I am, although he is not made for fighting. How can any of us stand against machines made for fighting?"
"First," Zack said, "we don't know what kind of machines we will meet. Second, you are as brave as any woman alive. I was there when you were captured at Unihold. You were helpless then, as you might be facing Earth's machines, but you showed no fear. Third, no one could be more useless in a fight than I. It still surprises me that you will let someone like me tie you up."
"Just you, my dear mate," Barbara said. "I love the way you handle my tits and finger my pussy when I am helpless. Just thinking about it makes me want to start another scene. Are you up to one now?"
"For you, my sexy dream, I am," Zack replied. "What would suit your fancy?"
She answered, "I think the best for sex, and I do want to have sex with you, is the old standby, the cross-ankled hogtie. Would that suit your fancy as well?"
"Barbara, you know that any way you allow me to control you is a marvelous turn-on for me," Zack replied. "Are you ready?"
Barbara replied by stretching face down on the bed and crossing her wrists behind her back. Zack lovingly applied rope to her wrists, vertically and horizontally. Then he did the same to her ankles, spreading her knees wide.
Zack said, "Let's sit you up for your elbows and chest harness." He tied her elbows, tightened them enough to maintain pressure, and then started on her chest harness. That took a while as he checked and rechecked her breasts with each band of rope. As he repeatedly rubbed her nipples, Barbara was starting to feel a tingle in her core.
Later, Barbara and Zack were satiated. Barbara was in that position, unique to a cross-ankled hogtie. She was not on her back, nor was she on her side. Her left thigh and foreleg were flush on the bed.

Six months had passed since they began deceleration. Rita had become an accomplished mind traveler and was in reasonable control of where her mind went. So far, however, she has yet to be successful at communicating with her meld partners, who remain unaware of Rita's presence.
Rita frequently briefed Stella on her progress. This morning, after she did so, Stella said, "Is it possible that you need to be more relaxed about your travels? I am certainly not an expert on this. My experience is that of a mind meld target or partner. Another thought is that you always approach this after submitting it to Frank. What do you think about trying it as the dominant?"
"Well, wouldn't that be special," Rita replied. "It would be easy if just had a submissive. Do you know where I might find one?"
"Don't be facetious, Rita," Stella said. "In the past, Carmen has submitted to me multiple times, and I have submitted to her. Our mates finally made us stop. But this is such an important cause. Carlos will forgive me if I submit to you."
Rita said, "Stella, I am flabbergasted. You would let me tie you up? But you are the Queen. I am at the bottom of the totem pole."
Stella grinned, "Maybe you aren't as low as you think. The boys are off doing boy things. Let's do this." Stella removed her bikini and put her hands behind her back.
Rita had never felt more uncertain in her life. Rita loved her mate, Frank, dearly. But she felt hero worship for Stella. Stella was everything Rita was not; tall, sexy, beautiful, decisive, deadly, warm, and outgoing. Rita had no idea that this would help with her traveling. But she was determined not to blow an opportunity to tie Stella up. She was new to this side of things, but having been tied up as often as she had, Rita knew the basics of what to do. Soon, she had Stella in a respectable hogtie.
Stella said, "I don't mean to top from the bottom. You are doing well. What you should do now is gag me, turn me on my side, and play with my tits and vulva while you do your travel thing. Okay?"
Soon, Stella was gagged and on her side. Rita started by manipulating her breasts. Rita was thinking, "WOW, this is fun. I see why Frank likes to tie me up so much. But, now to traveling." After daily practice for six months, Rita immediately slipped into the mind-meld mold, this time electing to go to Aurora.
On Aurora, at that time, Sam had Gloria tied naked on their bed. He was angry at her again. Gloria kept insisting that he should reestablish contact with the Argonaut and Jeeves. In the years that had passed on Aurora, she had repeatedly brought up this subject. Sam was getting progressively harsher in his discipline of Gloria when she did.
Today, she started up again and wouldn't stop. Sam was letting her go free and dressed in their apartment. When she wouldn't stop, he gagged her with a full mouth packing. He pulled her robe off and tied her hands and elbows behind her back. Then, he tightly frogtied her legs. As always, she did not resist him. With Gloria kneeling on the bed, Sam took his belt and lashed her four times, starting at her groin and working his way up to her breasts. Gloria groaned but took the beating stoically.
Sam pushed Gloria to her back and moved between her legs. He hated himself that this aroused him, but it did, and he was going to make use of it. Gloria tried to make her mind blank but could not. Sam's belt had hurt, especially the last blow across her tits. Despite this, her core was starting to tingle, and when he entered her, Gloria knew that she would orgasm.
Rita melded with Gloria's mind. She knew everything that was happening to Gloria. As always, Rita melded with the mind of someone tied up and helpless. Sometimes it was a man, other times a woman. This was her first contact with the Argonaut's previous visitors.
As always, Rita attempted to communicate with her partner. This time, she was rewarded with an acknowledgment. "Hello, who is there," said Gloria's mind.
"Gloria, my name is Rita," Rita directed her thoughts to Gloria. "I am on the Argonaut. I can't believe we are communicating so clearly. You are having a difficult time. I wish I could help."
Gloria responded, "If you are on the Argonaut, you can help. Do you know Jeeves?"
Rita said, "Yes, of course I do."
Gloria said, "Please tell me all about him."
"I will tell you as much as I can in the time that we have. Jeeves was a multiprocessing computer built on Earth before the first voyage to Newhome. He was shipped to Newhome with the Colonists and became the house computer for the Archer family. Madeline Archer was a computer genius who found the MIT code that triggered sentience in advanced computers. She uncovered a flaw in the code and fixed it before installing it in Jeeves, Joseph, and Goliath. We believe the incorrect code was installed on Earth's computers, which led to Earth breaking contact with Newhome. Tell me what has happened to you. I can tell that you are under duress."
Gloria responded, "I am being punished for allowing contact with a machine. I am now the slave of Sam Bresco. We, on Aurora, have a great fear of machines. They destroyed our civilization. But you seem to live in harmony with them."
"Jeeves, Joseph, and Goliath help us a lot," Rita said. "We need the intelligence that Aurora has gathered about Earth before we arrive there. What can I do to get Sam back in the game?"
Gloria said, "Sam is a problem, but the main problem is our leader, Chief Senusret. I need to reevaluate things based on our contact. That will take some time. Have you found it easier to return to someone you have already melded?"
Rita said, "I will return! I'm slipping away. Goodbye."
Rita's senses returned to the Argonaut. She found she was holding Stella's breasts tightly with each hand. As fast as she could, Rita untied Stella and removed her gag. "Stella, I have been on Aurora talking with Gloria!"
As Stella dressed, she called Jeeves, asking him to get Carlos and the Medico to hear about Rita's breakthrough on Aurora.
After hearing what happened, Medico Frank said, "Rita, my darling mate, you are now the most important person on the Argonaut. Others will submit to you to assist in your endeavors. You have interesting times ahead of you."

Steven Mills was an Aztec Bandit. His entire life, he had trained to be a warrior. Carol Johansson Mills, his mate, had also trained all her life. Carol had trained to be a warrior and a leader. When she fell in love with the mighty Steven, she no longer wanted to lead. Carol would always be happy to fight. She had trained under Stella McTavrish on the Argonaut as it started its voyage to Earth and continued to train with her mate. She no longer dreamed of leading. Now, her dreams were about being in Steven's ropes.
When they left Newhome, her brother, Aaron, had been appointed Headmaster of Unihold, the highest honor and responsibility on Newhome. Steven had no such ambitions. It was enough to train to fight and to have Carol in his ropes as often as he wished. Steven was tying Carol in her favorite position, a strict hogtie. He had started with Carol standing by their bed, tying her hands and elbows behind her back and lashing her arms to her back with a chest harness. Then Steven placed Carol face down on the bed and tied her ankles at right angles, keeping her knees spread. As he worked on tying up his mate, he was talking.
"Carol, there is a lot of scuttlebutt going around. Many here are worried about fighting the machines on Earth. I am not. To me, a fight is a fight. That is what I do. How about you?"
Carol responded, "Me too! Adapting to changed circumstances is what tactics and strategy are all about. I hear the others talking, too. But I am ready for whatever comes our way. We may die. Or we might prevail. Either way, we will do so with honor."
Steven pulled Carol's ankles over her hands, tying her ankles to her harness. He pulled her hands up toward her feet as much as the harness would allow. Steven said, "What do you think about Rita's breakthrough in the mind meld? Lee Chang is asking for volunteers to submit to Rita. Letting her be the top seems to be the key to her control of the melding process."
"Amazingly, little Rita is now in such a powerful position of influence," Carol replied. "I am very fond of Rita. She has always worked hard on our behalf. To answer your question, yes. I will do my share of submitting to Rita. I love to submit to you, as you can see now. I was talking to Stella about that. Stella said I would not find submitting to Rita to be a hardship. Would you mind if I volunteered?"
Steven answered, "It is not as if you were submitting to another man. I don't love the idea, but I see its need. So, if you are of a mind to do so, go ahead. What would you like me to do for you now?"
"Just the usual. I have talked enough. Pack my mouth full. Then, rub my tits, stroke my nipples, and probe my cunt until I cum at least once. Then, it will be your turn to do as you wish."
"I will never tire of playing with your magnificent body, Carol," Steven said. "That you take pleasure in what I like to do is the greatest gift in all of space.
Later, Carol was still hogtied and gagged. But she was turned to snuggle against Steven's body. His arm was around her, stroking. Carol said, "Mmmmmmmmmm."
It is hard to believe, 100 chapters!

"First," Zack said, "we don't know what kind of machines we will meet. Second, you are as brave as any woman alive. I was there when you were captured at Unihold. You were helpless then, as you might be facing Earth's machines, but you showed no fear. Third, no one could be more useless in a fight than I. It still surprises me that you will let someone like me tie you up."
"Just you, my dear mate," Barbara said. "I love the way you handle my tits and finger my pussy when I am helpless. Just thinking about it makes me want to start another scene. Are you up to one now?"
"For you, my sexy dream, I am," Zack replied. "What would suit your fancy?"
She answered, "I think the best for sex, and I do want to have sex with you, is the old standby, the cross-ankled hogtie. Would that suit your fancy as well?"
"Barbara, you know that any way you allow me to control you is a marvelous turn-on for me," Zack replied. "Are you ready?"
Barbara replied by stretching face down on the bed and crossing her wrists behind her back. Zack lovingly applied rope to her wrists, vertically and horizontally. Then he did the same to her ankles, spreading her knees wide.
Zack said, "Let's sit you up for your elbows and chest harness." He tied her elbows, tightened them enough to maintain pressure, and then started on her chest harness. That took a while as he checked and rechecked her breasts with each band of rope. As he repeatedly rubbed her nipples, Barbara was starting to feel a tingle in her core.
Later, Barbara and Zack were satiated. Barbara was in that position, unique to a cross-ankled hogtie. She was not on her back, nor was she on her side. Her left thigh and foreleg were flush on the bed.

Six months had passed since they began deceleration. Rita had become an accomplished mind traveler and was in reasonable control of where her mind went. So far, however, she has yet to be successful at communicating with her meld partners, who remain unaware of Rita's presence.
Rita frequently briefed Stella on her progress. This morning, after she did so, Stella said, "Is it possible that you need to be more relaxed about your travels? I am certainly not an expert on this. My experience is that of a mind meld target or partner. Another thought is that you always approach this after submitting it to Frank. What do you think about trying it as the dominant?"
"Well, wouldn't that be special," Rita replied. "It would be easy if just had a submissive. Do you know where I might find one?"
"Don't be facetious, Rita," Stella said. "In the past, Carmen has submitted to me multiple times, and I have submitted to her. Our mates finally made us stop. But this is such an important cause. Carlos will forgive me if I submit to you."
Rita said, "Stella, I am flabbergasted. You would let me tie you up? But you are the Queen. I am at the bottom of the totem pole."
Stella grinned, "Maybe you aren't as low as you think. The boys are off doing boy things. Let's do this." Stella removed her bikini and put her hands behind her back.
Rita had never felt more uncertain in her life. Rita loved her mate, Frank, dearly. But she felt hero worship for Stella. Stella was everything Rita was not; tall, sexy, beautiful, decisive, deadly, warm, and outgoing. Rita had no idea that this would help with her traveling. But she was determined not to blow an opportunity to tie Stella up. She was new to this side of things, but having been tied up as often as she had, Rita knew the basics of what to do. Soon, she had Stella in a respectable hogtie.
Stella said, "I don't mean to top from the bottom. You are doing well. What you should do now is gag me, turn me on my side, and play with my tits and vulva while you do your travel thing. Okay?"
Soon, Stella was gagged and on her side. Rita started by manipulating her breasts. Rita was thinking, "WOW, this is fun. I see why Frank likes to tie me up so much. But, now to traveling." After daily practice for six months, Rita immediately slipped into the mind-meld mold, this time electing to go to Aurora.
On Aurora, at that time, Sam had Gloria tied naked on their bed. He was angry at her again. Gloria kept insisting that he should reestablish contact with the Argonaut and Jeeves. In the years that had passed on Aurora, she had repeatedly brought up this subject. Sam was getting progressively harsher in his discipline of Gloria when she did.
Today, she started up again and wouldn't stop. Sam was letting her go free and dressed in their apartment. When she wouldn't stop, he gagged her with a full mouth packing. He pulled her robe off and tied her hands and elbows behind her back. Then, he tightly frogtied her legs. As always, she did not resist him. With Gloria kneeling on the bed, Sam took his belt and lashed her four times, starting at her groin and working his way up to her breasts. Gloria groaned but took the beating stoically.
Sam pushed Gloria to her back and moved between her legs. He hated himself that this aroused him, but it did, and he was going to make use of it. Gloria tried to make her mind blank but could not. Sam's belt had hurt, especially the last blow across her tits. Despite this, her core was starting to tingle, and when he entered her, Gloria knew that she would orgasm.
Rita melded with Gloria's mind. She knew everything that was happening to Gloria. As always, Rita melded with the mind of someone tied up and helpless. Sometimes it was a man, other times a woman. This was her first contact with the Argonaut's previous visitors.
As always, Rita attempted to communicate with her partner. This time, she was rewarded with an acknowledgment. "Hello, who is there," said Gloria's mind.
"Gloria, my name is Rita," Rita directed her thoughts to Gloria. "I am on the Argonaut. I can't believe we are communicating so clearly. You are having a difficult time. I wish I could help."
Gloria responded, "If you are on the Argonaut, you can help. Do you know Jeeves?"
Rita said, "Yes, of course I do."
Gloria said, "Please tell me all about him."
"I will tell you as much as I can in the time that we have. Jeeves was a multiprocessing computer built on Earth before the first voyage to Newhome. He was shipped to Newhome with the Colonists and became the house computer for the Archer family. Madeline Archer was a computer genius who found the MIT code that triggered sentience in advanced computers. She uncovered a flaw in the code and fixed it before installing it in Jeeves, Joseph, and Goliath. We believe the incorrect code was installed on Earth's computers, which led to Earth breaking contact with Newhome. Tell me what has happened to you. I can tell that you are under duress."
Gloria responded, "I am being punished for allowing contact with a machine. I am now the slave of Sam Bresco. We, on Aurora, have a great fear of machines. They destroyed our civilization. But you seem to live in harmony with them."
"Jeeves, Joseph, and Goliath help us a lot," Rita said. "We need the intelligence that Aurora has gathered about Earth before we arrive there. What can I do to get Sam back in the game?"
Gloria said, "Sam is a problem, but the main problem is our leader, Chief Senusret. I need to reevaluate things based on our contact. That will take some time. Have you found it easier to return to someone you have already melded?"
Rita said, "I will return! I'm slipping away. Goodbye."
Rita's senses returned to the Argonaut. She found she was holding Stella's breasts tightly with each hand. As fast as she could, Rita untied Stella and removed her gag. "Stella, I have been on Aurora talking with Gloria!"
As Stella dressed, she called Jeeves, asking him to get Carlos and the Medico to hear about Rita's breakthrough on Aurora.
After hearing what happened, Medico Frank said, "Rita, my darling mate, you are now the most important person on the Argonaut. Others will submit to you to assist in your endeavors. You have interesting times ahead of you."
-----
Steven Mills was an Aztec Bandit. His entire life, he had trained to be a warrior. Carol Johansson Mills, his mate, had also trained all her life. Carol had trained to be a warrior and a leader. When she fell in love with the mighty Steven, she no longer wanted to lead. Carol would always be happy to fight. She had trained under Stella McTavrish on the Argonaut as it started its voyage to Earth and continued to train with her mate. She no longer dreamed of leading. Now, her dreams were about being in Steven's ropes.
When they left Newhome, her brother, Aaron, had been appointed Headmaster of Unihold, the highest honor and responsibility on Newhome. Steven had no such ambitions. It was enough to train to fight and to have Carol in his ropes as often as he wished. Steven was tying Carol in her favorite position, a strict hogtie. He had started with Carol standing by their bed, tying her hands and elbows behind her back and lashing her arms to her back with a chest harness. Then Steven placed Carol face down on the bed and tied her ankles at right angles, keeping her knees spread. As he worked on tying up his mate, he was talking.
"Carol, there is a lot of scuttlebutt going around. Many here are worried about fighting the machines on Earth. I am not. To me, a fight is a fight. That is what I do. How about you?"
Carol responded, "Me too! Adapting to changed circumstances is what tactics and strategy are all about. I hear the others talking, too. But I am ready for whatever comes our way. We may die. Or we might prevail. Either way, we will do so with honor."
Steven pulled Carol's ankles over her hands, tying her ankles to her harness. He pulled her hands up toward her feet as much as the harness would allow. Steven said, "What do you think about Rita's breakthrough in the mind meld? Lee Chang is asking for volunteers to submit to Rita. Letting her be the top seems to be the key to her control of the melding process."
"Amazingly, little Rita is now in such a powerful position of influence," Carol replied. "I am very fond of Rita. She has always worked hard on our behalf. To answer your question, yes. I will do my share of submitting to Rita. I love to submit to you, as you can see now. I was talking to Stella about that. Stella said I would not find submitting to Rita to be a hardship. Would you mind if I volunteered?"
Steven answered, "It is not as if you were submitting to another man. I don't love the idea, but I see its need. So, if you are of a mind to do so, go ahead. What would you like me to do for you now?"
"Just the usual. I have talked enough. Pack my mouth full. Then, rub my tits, stroke my nipples, and probe my cunt until I cum at least once. Then, it will be your turn to do as you wish."
"I will never tire of playing with your magnificent body, Carol," Steven said. "That you take pleasure in what I like to do is the greatest gift in all of space.
Later, Carol was still hogtied and gagged. But she was turned to snuggle against Steven's body. His arm was around her, stroking. Carol said, "Mmmmmmmmmm."

Chapter 100 !!! Wow, congrats! And this story is not over yet.
I do not envy you having to write an arrival at Earth.
But that is still some chapters away.
I'll be looking forward to what happens next, and as Carol said... "Mmmmmmmmmm."

Wow, exciting and amazing! Rita's arc is a surprise to me, but in a pleasant way. I am very much connected to Lou, though, her worries and uneasiness. Very much looking forward to reading the next chapters in due course.
Dear Lord, take your time!
