Test Tubes
The room is dark and quiet, except for a holographic vid lighting the room. The hologram shows a group of Ibrea in a large circle with their arms on each other's shoulders. It was a very warm night on the home world when this was taken. She holds her breath, and there it is. A greenish light flashes from the dark bodies of the Ibrea, and then combine into a light that encircles the group. She must admit it enthralls her each time she sees it.
The next holographic shows four Whipelli in a smaller group. There is no light flashing from them, but she has had one amazing experience all the same. Mihee had sent her twice to summer gatherings on two of the mountain farms. It was an exciting time; it was like she was some sort of undercover agent. She had been told the mountain people unlike the Ibrea can only do this in the summer when the organ is not needed to keep them warm. This gathering was where the Youth Leader conversion word; bonding came from. Rather the English version of the Whipllie/Ibrea word bonding.
Due to this event she has more of an idea why Mihee wants the organ. That evening when she had the experience, she was warned there was a slim chance it may go the way it did. Sill the experience itself was different than actually being told what may happen. When the bonding first began she saw a few minutes of her future. To this day she knows it was not a dream, but a moment in the future. A week later every detail she saw was lived out in real time.
However, the next bonding it did not happen at all. It was a huge disappointment. She learned that only certain individuals could actually lead you to the future. The person who was identified as having been the gifted one was later taken that evening, and their organ removed for The Great Leader. It was likely that the individual had no idea that they had the ability, and as an older person she was likely not tested previously. Nor did records show that she could do Future Dream. Future Dream was the ability to allow another in dream state to see a bit of their future. The Future Dreamers never see the future themselves, only those that they opened the window for could see their future. The Future Dreamers had long ago been taken from their mountains, and given to The Great Leader.
Even though you may not see the future, the bonding was used to bring the group together. The bonding brought your mind to a place of peace and tranquility. It was too weird for her to actually enjoy, it made her feel like everyone in the group was literally looking into her consciousness. Mihee had trained her so she gave nothing away, but she felt like she had bared her very being all the same. No, one should see your true inner self; ever. This experience may be good if you were into that sort of thing. Like the Ibrea who were the hippies of her world. The fools would die before they would kill another, which is why they are not on this mission. The Whipelli may be quasi hippies, but they had no problem protecting themselves. They were just as good at killing as any Deypol or Human. The mountain people they just seemed to believe in a lot of odd nonsense.
However, it is not the future that Mihee wants to see. It is the power that enhances his own abilities. With the transplanted organ before it withers and dies he can do incredible mystical things. Unfortunately for the Whipelli they can't live without the organ, and they die. Worse it appears that those with special talents have all been taken, and their organ taken for Mihee. Sad for them, but amazing for The Great Leader. Once he has his own organ though, there is nothing he won't be able to do. For now, it appears Mihee has used his supply of the gifted mountain people. Each child has been tested for the last fifteen years, and sadly none appear to have any rare gifts. He still takes the organ from the mountain people, he has simply enjoyed taking it from those he felt had abilities.
Diana turns the holographic vid off. She would look at her notes again, but she is tired. So far no success in the manipulated sperm. No, matter what she does she can't seem to get her experiments to work. So far she has not found a woman whose genome is open enough to accept it, and the work on manipulation has been more delicate than expected. She has tried both Deypol and Whipelli, but both refuse to impregnate the egg.
She has found the Deypol manipulation easier to accomplish, but it is the Whipelli she needs for the organ. Using the Deypol to impregnate the egg first could be an issue. It is nothing without the Great Leaders DNA for the organ to be transplanted, and not rejected. She cannot have Mihee's gene be the dominate DNA. If only her work had allowed her to just grow the idiot organ, but that has not worked either by her, or other scientists on the home world. Her only goal no matter how, or who it is done to; is to give The Great Leader what he wants. After that his mystical abilities will have the power source he craves.
If only the manipulated Whipelli sperm was easier to obtain. Instead she must go through hours of work to only end up with a small sample for use. She is tired of all of this, it is never ending lately. With nothing to show for all the work she has done there is no sense of accomplishment.
Now though is time for a little indulgence. She looks at the names on her device. Which of these young men will be on her menu of sex tonight? She sends a message to her choice, and within seconds she has a response. She stretches, and heads to her room.
She turns the light on, and changes into something more bewitching; she gets no further than that when her boy toy arrives. The young man stands looking down at her obviously enjoying her gown, well the sight of her body in the nearly transparent gown. "Donny, I have very important notes to go over with you." She gives him a wicked grin, then taking him by the hand she leads him into the bedroom.
Donny says nothing, he allows her to lead him to her bed. She likes tall young men, and Donny fits in more ways than one. They slowly they undress each other, and as if by magic they are in bed.
Later Diana is leaning against him, she is feeling relaxed and satisfied.
"Diana would you like to do a do over? Those notes should likely be checked one more time." Donny smiles as he runs his finger down her arm, and darts his forked tongue in her ear, and then reaches between her legs.
"Yes, I am sure you have ample supply," Diana laughs as she enjoys the sexual tingle.
"Better than keeping it in a jar. . .always ready for you."
Diana jerks up, "What did you say?"
"Sorry Diana I was just being funny. You know the test tubes. It was not funny." His voice holds a remorseful sound.
"You don't know what you just said." She pushes him back, "Ah, I am through for the night. Please leave."
Donny looks confused. He is unsure what he said about jars and test tubes to offend Diana. If ever there is one person you do not offend, or say no to it, is Diana. Besides it is known if you become someone she invites to her bed your ranking will increase. He dresses slowly hoping she will say something, but her eyes are only on her device. When he leaves he turns for a moment, but he knows for her he was gone long ago when she said she was through for the night.
Diana smiles. Yes, the Whipelli have their open gene. It allows for a modification for the next generation when needed for sever environmental changes. Since it takes time for her to make modifications. Why not just modify the source? It will not take long to make that change, and it should last for a while. She can modify three or four young men. Then four to six months later make the modification on another group. Test tube indeed. Yes, a walking, and talking test tube.
She had certainly enjoyed Donny's company. What he did not know was she has recorded their sexual encounter. It is just her nature to enjoy the experience by watching herself. She curls her lip, would be interesting to see one of her people, and a human interacting in a sexual way. Maybe she will keep that thought in the back of her mind. In fact, it could be the Youth Leaders may actually find they have an interest in a sexual encounter with humans. She has her two informers in the Youth Corp. It will be easy to find those more interested than they should be. After all a lot of time and expense was done to get them where their minds ignored the difference in species. The idea is that they only see what someone is, noting if that person is power hungry, control freaks, radicals, or what did humans all them. Oh, racists. So a Youth Leaders must see the inside, not the outside. When seeing the inside of a girl, her inner emotional core. Well things like sex were likely to come to mind in the head of a healthy young man. Diana smiles. Their head.
Today was a good day. So number one, find those special young human women who are far more open to accept male sperm of another species. Second begin a small manipulation on the young Whipelli men she chooses. Third the correct procedure to ensure that Deypol DNA is inserted in a way that the organ is Deypol, but does not wither away. This will create the child for Mihee.
For now; well she has her vid to watch of her and Donny.
