Future Shock - Part 4

The voice on the handset said "Hello, this is Amy and I'm looking for Todd Bowen". My heart jumped out of my body onto the floor. My mind went through a "what-if" scenario. I was almost stuck in it when the voice said "HELLO ?"

Snapped back I replied " Sorry about that, something else going on. I'll explain some other time, yes I'm Todd and who are you ?".

"Amy Keyser, and if you're the guy that makes belts, I think I want one".

"You mean the locking belts right ?".

"Exactly".

"How did you find me ? ".

"Remember Bob ? he lost his keys really fast and was talking about calling you. He has been stuck in that thing since he left your place".

Wow. That was quite a while ago.

Now I'm curious "So what do you have to do with it? ".

She told me that she had been Bob's girlfriend just after he lost his keys. It was only a few days after he left here. She tells me that there are times he enjoys the tease but there are other times he seems to be in agony. She wants a CB, absolutely stimulationproof like his. They want to eventually have kids together, and she is starting to feel a bit guilty being the only one pleasured. Instead of wanting to release him, she wanted to be so secured.

They seem to be in love, but they don't need kids just yet, they have plenty of time.. If what I've heard is true, Bob has been in for quite some time. He is used to it, she is not. Nonetheless she wants the sensor belt for a week and then immediate lockup with no breaks. She felt a bit guilty for all the times Bob made her cum and wanted to make up for it.

She said "Bob has been locked up all this time, and has given me so much pleasure, I want to be locked up, no reprive, no remorse, no adapation period. I want it all at once. I know you have an emergency key for Bob's appliance, but I don't want that yet. I want to experience the frustration he has been experiencing, being unable to receive pleasure. After about a month I want Bob unlocked, and I intend to return the favor, the pleasure I received at his hands, and when he's free I want to drive him wild. He hasn't asked me to do this, I want to, it's like returning a favor. Bob is my Man, and I would do anything for him".

I asked her "What happened to Bob's keys ?".

She told me " Well, he tossed them into a river shortly before meeting me. They are not recoverable".

I said " I can retrieve them from anywhere in the world, hang on", "Dolf findkeys", I told her give the computer a minute. Funny, although the keys had been dispatched from the US, almost at the Transcanada border, there they were in the southernmost part of South America. I was about to beam them to my shop and stopped. I can't just do that.

I had to ask "Where is Bob ?".

"He is due home from work in a couple of hours, but this really has nothing to do with him in a way, I simply want a belt".

I told her "Well I found Bob's keys, and I was about to beam them home and it occurred to me, that wouldn't be lawful, since they are neither mine nor your's.

"What ?"

"These belts (and keys) are made from neutronium and you have to be very careful. Neutronium is by far the strongest material we have, and if Bob's keys are in a South American river, I can't do anything about it unless I have his sayso. I also think you're one hell of a Woman wanting to do this, and I think you should let Bob know so".

She agreed. I asked "Where are you at ?". She said they live in Gilesville, which is in southeastern Transcanada. I said, look it's nothing for the both of you to transport over here, it only costs about $3.

She asked "Why is there such a,,,,a protocol for dealing with these belts ?". I told her "In short because they almost can't be cut. The name says it, once formed this substance does not have an ionic or a covalent bond, the neutrons actually bond. They wrote no Law for the proper handling of it, I did, if somebody got foolish or nasty with this stuff they could do a lot of damage and hurt".

She said " I see ".

We decided to all meet this Saturday. I called and asked if they were ready and they said yes. "Got transponders ?". "Yup".

"Dolf, find transponders from this call origin". "working, found". Dolf transport the callers here on my command".

"Amy, Bob, are you ready right now ?" They replied yes. "Dolf transport now".

It only took two seconds because they were so close. There is no part of Transcanada more than 3000 kilometres from here.

"Toni, Lisa, you might want to come to the shop".

Once here Bob gave me a big bear hug. We aren't homo, it's one of those Man things. We almost wound up wrestling but here's his Woman sitting there bored. We calmed down and talked. About then Toni and Lisa got there and they had been friends, so he had to hug them. He also kissed them on the lips, something I'm not too crazy about, but I will let it slide. And I mean really let it slide. He had no idea what was going on and, well, they were friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

During this time I was talking to Amy Keyser, she is quite a Woman. She explained that even though she's kinky, she wants to wear the belt just for Bob. She wants to wear a belt out of empathy, to develop a sense of oneness in their relationship.

Wow.

After hanging around awhile I dropped them off in my airship. Actually Lisa and Toni both came along and we hung around their place for a bit. They are within range of my old Buick, but it's low on "gas" and there are no "gas" stations. Amy is wearing the detection belt now, and we will definitely be getting together next week if not sooner. We had a good time there too. Good people.

Amy Keyser is very different than my Amy was, but they have one thing in common, devotion to their Man. The Man of course owes 100% devotion at this point.

Imagine having two Women now, sometimes you have to be in two places at once. Understand that I never wanted to have two Women, it happened because to get rid of either would destroy her, and I love them both. I can't do that. Now, I have to give 100% to each, that's 200%, I'll do my best.

Before we left I asked Bob if I should retrieve his keys. He said yes, but keep them for awhile.

He had not been aware that I can retrieve the keys from anywhere in the world. I also told him that due to the location of the keys it would cost about $50 to get them back. "Not a problem" he replied.

Normally I hate talking about Women's problems, but it was necessary because her period was about due to start any day. I told her the only option is tampons, and the string must be tucked in.

She said "I don't like tampons". I said "Well for obvious reasons you can't wear a pad, you're best bet is to use the high power mode and make sure you're, ummmm, in the right position when you switch it off". What a pain in the ass, but she is willing to do it for Bob. Ironic how something almost gross can be so sweet. I must applaud her devotion to him. A Woman's period is not gross, it's a natural thing, but like going to the bathroom it's sorta private, something you don't reveal at the town square.

I found out she didn't work anymore, she moved in with Bob and he told her to quit. Her job wasn't one of these super great careers, she worked for the money so she had no problem quitting after they were together for a while and had some confidence in the relationship. I told her this week would probably be a good time to do some projects on the house.

She said "Great, I have been wanting to do some redecorating, especially now that I've seen your master dining room" . What is it about my dining room ? Women always seem to like it. OK I have a nice dining room, it has oak pillars and crossbeams with silver inlays. It's teleformed silver so it was not expensive, about $2 a pound. Huh, even though everything is metric now I still sometimes think in the old English measurements.

Anyway, people are a lot more open today, but for a Woman to talk to a Man she just met about certain things is one step beyond. There were reasons though, and she could've waited until she didn't have that problem, but once the decision was made she wanted it now. A week in this and then at least a month in the real McCoy (old term, means the real thing). This is going to be memorable experience for her, she has never worn before, ever.

Now if she's with Bob I'm sure they have played some kinky games, but they've never offered up any information on it and I didn't ask. I had already reminded Bob about the dangers of the belt, in high power mode especially, but told him that even in low power mode it can kill, once it fills up. The strength of the outer fields is such that you could stab through it with something sharp, but other than that it is totally sealed. The porousity is set so some gas can pass, a bit of ventilation, but surface tension of liquid keeps it from passing. This is necessary so the wearer can go swimming. I tell people to try to do everything they normally do, within obvious limits.

Certain cases when an "accident" happens or something, if they don't remove the belt I can "back up a day", and return to the data that were saved up until then. This adds an extra wearing day but it's better than starting over. And I will know. Dolf will tell me if the data are corrupt. This means that I automatically know if they don't make it to the bathroom in time. This is pretty personal information that I almost would rather not know. It is however necessary.

I am actually a Junior Doctor, this was necessary for me to make the orthoses. I am not yet "enabled into" performing surgery, although I have some training in it. I can do it in an emergency but I would usually be in at least voice contact with an accredited surgeon. Interesting way this society works. The Doctors actually judge me to be competent or not for different areas of medicine. Just like the high-tech "community", they decide if I'm fit or unfit. The government will enforce it, but that happens very rarely. Generally I don't want to have someone's life in my hands unless I know what I'm doing. Would you ? This society would never work in the times into which I was born. You could abuse this society fast and hard and disappear with your loot quite easily, because it's not expected. You would probably get caught, but with high-tech maybe not. Why doesn't it happen ? People.

Amy calls " Todd ". " Yes ". " The week is almost up"

Now this is timing, the week is up in fifteen minutes. Hmmm.

She continues " I'd like to get the real belt as soon as possible". I said "OK, whatever the rush is, once I get you in the chamber for a scan we're talking about a few hours".

She said "Good, because I'm starting not to trust myself. Being able to turn it off is getting tempting". Hmmm. She had never worn before. If she is only doing this for Bob I admire her resolve.

I told her "Let me know when you're ready to come over". She said give me about ½ an hour.

Of course Bob still had his appliance on, so I put mine on. She has to be nude for the bodyscan and not only did I figure that Bob shouldn't know if I got aroused, I didn't want Toni and Lisa to know either. I would be honest with them, but Amy Keyser is not mine, and never will be. I can't take my eyes off of somebody during this scan for more than a few seconds. Since Amy was new to us, I told Toni and Lisa to take a hike for a couple of hours. I had to be there, no choice, but they didn't know each other really well and it was my decision. I think they understood. This councilling I went through, see, the higher reasoning, I didn't want Amy to have to say that she is uncomfortable with them around and therefore I didn't ask. I simply removed the option. Lisa is at a higher level than me psychologically so I know she understood why. If necessary she would explain it to Toni. (it wasn't)

Amy cooperated physically with the scan, and it only took about 90 minutes. Lisa and Toni were back in two hours, as I had requested. I now wanted them there so they could discuss options with Amy, and that they did. This gave Bob and I a chance to chew the fat (old term means to have a discussion). Lisa and Toni showed Amy what they were "wearing".

"So Bob", I started " would you like something to drink,,,,,,,,, with your whiskey ?"

"Water" he replied. "And don't mix it strong, I don't want to get drunk".

I got us the drinks, the girls were too busy to drink so we had our discussion "Bob, what happened to your keys ?"

He said " I tossed them off of a bridge, I'm not really sure why, I knew you would have a backup but at any given time you could be away, sick or dead. The thought of you in your keyless "appliance" as you call it turned me on, I wanted to really be stuck for a time".

Wow. Amy had gotten my contact information from the back of Bob's appliance, he didn't even know that she called me originally. He told me about that exchange "She told me she called you and that my keys have traveled south, at first I figured she wanted the keys but no. She wants a belt so she can have taste of what I've been getting".

I said "That is, , , , , , , , , ", and made a hand motion like I couldn't find the word, he said "I know".

We talked for awhile, turns out that Amy's cousin was Toni's contact for the emergency alert, "If you haven't heard from me by. . . ", well Sue called. Sue was starting to admonish Toni to GET OUT OF THERE etc., asking if she should call the law when Toni said "HEY, I want you to stop over".

I let Toni and Sue have their time alone, the computer tracked their movements, but I left the sound off. Apparently Sue has a bondage bone too, and when it was all said and done she wanted to stay. The two of them went out beyond the property line and Toni pulled out her sidearm and shot into the air. Sue freaked out a bit, "What the.......". Toni told her " We are not on Todd's property right now, I am there because I want to be and I wanted you to know for sure". She went on to tell Sue that I had STRONGLY encouraged her to become really good in martial arts, which I did. If you attack one of my Women I want you to feel pain. I might not be there to make that happen. . . . . .

I had to say no to staying, she could sleep over, but not long term. Toni and Lisa are cool and don't ask for much, but they are my life. All two-hundred percent of it. They both gave me their own lives to be with me, they both gave me 100%, and I can do no less. We have also since agreed to be faithful. Sue is alone at the moment.

We did, however, take Sue to the club.

As we talked I found out that Bob and Amy have a cross, a chair and a bed, and I don't mean the regular kind. They are both switches (where were people like this in the 21st century ? ), even though she liked bottoming, he could only use his mouth and fingers on her. He said that was "yummy". What a trip.

Bob and I had wrestled before and he's pretty strong, and is 6'5" tall. I wanted to mess with him bad so I called him a faggot (old derogatory term for a homosexual person). I went on "Now I see your feminine side honey, you know you really don't need Amy so I'll take care of her for you.". Oh boy. He knew I was joking, and we did wrestle, and it wasn't the first time. Our way of wrestling is that we would charge each other from about eight feet away. We had to agree to tilt heads to the right, else we might butt heads ! That was painful, but we solved that problem.

By the time the Women came down we had destroyed the kitchen table and set the oven door askew, among other things. They looked at us kinda funny, Amy asked "What's wrong ? ". We told her nothing, and nothing is wrong. All this shit can be replaced, but the competition is what we like. The experience is well worth it and it had been awhile.

Lisa said "She has the final design, it's ready to go, but it's your machine so if you boys are done playing,,,,,,,"

"OK"

Amy piped up "Why were you fighting ? ".

"We weren't".

It looked like a fight to her she said, but she doesn't know, Bob and I became friends in a fight. Nowadays we didn't try to hurt each other, it's like slap-boxing but it's much more aggressive. It's almost like a martial arts exercise.

"OK, Amy you need to come with me", and she did.

She told me she just wanted a chastity belt, but when I asked her about the clitoral shield she wanted to know. As before "It's designed to give you girls the feeling we get when we get turned on in the belt".

After I explained that she said "YES ! " emphatically.

She didn't want the bra, so full materialization only took two minutes. I called for Bob "Hey, what are you doing with my Women ?" Ha. "Get in here so I can watch you !".

Everybody showed up, I told Bob "If you want, you can be the one to put her in the belt". He said he liked the idea and the three of us left. Downstairs I asked Toni and Lisa "How do you feel about giving Amy the treatment ?". They said it was fine with them. They grabbed her a bit later and took her to the shower. I said "Girls will be girls" and put it full screen on the monitor and positioned myself so I couldn't see it, Bob was, well, ummmmmmmmmmm, a bit distressed, but he definitely liked it. "A bit of revenge ?" I asked, he said "No, not at all" (smiling nonetheless).

When they came back it was very interesting. We had a very interesting discussion before and after the Women came back. It got a bit late and it was time to drop them off. Bob said "You've had like four drinks, would you rather beam us home or we can find our own way". I said my airship was protected against improper piloting and we would be safe. Actually one of these days I'd like to take them for a ride in the old Buick, but it wasn't going to happen tonight. I'll drive on the flat with a buzz, in fact I like to and that is one of the reasons I was teaching Lisa how to drive a stickshift.

She could drive there and back and I would be less inhibited. I only own that road vehicle for one reason, thrill. This thing has five point racing harnesses and actually one day I'd like her to drive and drive me wild. It's not the same thrill when you are driving, kinda like trying to tickle yourself. Lisa had been in it before and even drove it, but couldn't quite get it to do what I got it to do. Toni had never felt anything like it before "that" day back then.

Road vehicles of today have an acceleration limiting curve, and airships use wide field TSGs to cancel out your inertia. Terrestrial airship travel is tightly controlled as to the route, so the pilot doesn't have complete control. I could turn down the TSGs but it wouldn't be the same.

There are no amusement parks with rides anymore, but I can exert plenty of G force with the Buick. Today's road vehicles have CVT transmissions so you can't duplicate what my Buick can do in them, even though they have just as much power. I will have to teleform some gasoline for it soon. Take Bob and Amy for a ride. Yes.

Amy didn't have a profile, so one has to be careful. I told her "Don't call here asking for your keys, Bob will do that. You call for his keys". They both agreed. It was getting late.

They came over for dinner and drinks the next weekend. I teleformed some gas for the Buick and said "Feeling froggy ?". They were asking, like what ?

I took them out to the Buick, now full of gas. Lisa and Toni didn't want to be crowded so they didn't go, I know I shouldn't be driving it after drinking but I did. They were thrilled. Bob is a heavy construction engineer and had many questions, he really liked it and wanted one. The engine I built for it has 610 ft lbs of torque at 1300 RPM and 551 HP at 5300 RPM. With the properly designed transmission this was a car that could probably beat ANY production car in the 21st century.

Then Bob said "Can you teach me to drive it ? ". I agreed to do so.

I didn't hear from them for about a week, I can only imagine what's going on.

I heard from four more people wanting belts. The couple who wanted the "mutual" locking mechanism haven't called back as of yet, so I figured, who calls first goes first. Lisa was a big help, I simply couildn't sit there all day doing the body scans. I had to make a second detection belt. This is starting to look like a viable business.

If I make like $250 on each belt, this will be fine. Dolf needed to be setup with a dual channel for the data so I was up late doing that when Lisa came in. She couldn't keep her hands off me even though at the time we were both locked. At the time, it seems she wasn't trying to stimulate me, just show affection. She watched the screen with me and learned a bit more about the program. Even though she helped me write it there had been some substantial changes. She remained silent until I was done. She loves me so much,,,,,,,,, I don‘t know how to describe it.

I had all the parameters set for data download from belt2, and I turned to her and asked her straight out "What do you really think of Toni ?". She said she loved Toni like a sister, and said "Thank you for giving me a sister". Lisa was an only child and her telling me this was something very deep. Like she bared her soul to me. Toni is not going anywhere, both of them are here for life. What she said indicated that I am almost a Father figure to her, but only because of my intellect. Remember, Lisa had been one of my councillors, then later said that I could possibly take over the world. God if I could take this technology back to the 21st century I would do just that, but the world today does not need to be taken over. It is actually a better society than that which I could ever design. I can't think of anything I would change. I can't think of anything I would change about Toni and Lisa either, they complement me as well as each other.

We are all chosen family.

"Lisa, what do you think of my word being Law here and more importantly, what do you want to do when our son comes ?".

She asked me what I meant.

"When the baby comes I still need control over the house itself and the technology, but there are things that the Mother should control. At the very least, feeding time and diaper changes, but there's a lot mo,,"

"HAHAA, we KNOW you can put a diaper on" she blurted. (it is good to hear her laugh).

I said "All kidding aside, you know I didn't grow up in this society and I might not be up to all the decisions involved in raising a child"

She said "I think you'll do fine, having said that indicates that you'll think carefully, which is the most important thing".

I said "So fly by the seat of my pants huh ?". She asked "What ?".

I told her "It's an old term, I think it came from times when pilots had to fly the early airships under adverse conditions, like when the instruments don't work or something like that".

"OK, I get it" she replied.

Richard and Tammi, the couple who wanted a pair of belts with the special locking arraingment finally called back. "So where you been all this time" I asked. Richard told me "Well, we did have a distraction for a while, but we kind of got to thinking about just what is it we want ?, thus the delay. Actually we are not all that kinky, and fidelity and masturbation are not a problem. The problem is that we have sex four times a day on average and we think it's,,,". He paused, I gave him some time. He went on " It's hard to explain, we really love each other but with all this sex, at times we start thinking of each other like, like a sex object, a piece of meat. Even thinking like this causes us guilt, and frankly we miss the desire we used to have before we moved in together. It is too easy, too available on demand. What I was asking for in the beginning isn't exactly right, and now we're thinking more along the lines of a time lock".

I said "You are in luck, there have been some developments. First of all I now have two detection belts, also I've fit a belt with traction strands and there are a lot more possibilities. A time lock I can do, but you will have control over it. I can make the belts open by remote, but there will be keys for an emergency. Have you two filled out a kink profile ?"

He said "No". I said "OK, from what you've told me I have a plan. You use your computer to set the duration, the onboard system takes the command and nothing can change it once it's loaded. I will hold the physical keys, but for me to do that you should fill out a profile. Go to w-kink on the net and fill out those profiles. Right now both detection belts are available so get while the getting is good. You'll wear them for a week and you can take that long to fill out the profiles. If you show up today you can have your desire back in about eight days".

He was thrilled. He said "We can be there in a few minutes if that's OK with you". I said it was fine. Turns out they are fairly well monied and didn't have to work, and they have their own transporter. They live in Arizona and called back in about five minutes to get the coordinates. They got here right away.

We discussed some details and they read the instructions for the detection belts. Since we didn't really know each other well, I explained "I have to be involved the first time you put these things on, which means I am going to not only see your Woman naked, but will have to touch her as well, but I am a Junior Doctor so don't worry about it. Believe me I won't be lusting after her".

He said he understands and they left with both detection belts on.

They're getting a pair of belts with dual locking, TSGs with a sympathetic generator which gives it some unique features. Both have removable shields so the belts and thus the TSGs can remain in place. The generator charges the wearers body so that they can be prevented from touching themselves when the shield is off if desired, and this is completely harmless. This should give them some interesting possibilities. I sent them a modified copy of program X to study for the next week. With these features the belts were a bit pricey for just belts with no full body harness or bra or anything, but the price was fair, $850 each. As always I refused to take any money up front. After they left I went down to the dining room to talk to Lisa and Toni. They were watching a documentary on, of all things history, history of the time in which I was born. I recognized it, I had been a consultant in it's production for obvious reasons. They paused it.

I sat between them and the screen and said "I don't think we'll be having money problems," I showed them a hard copy of the contract, " what this means is I'm going to make $500 in about six hours". I don't think our children will starve.

As Murphy's law would dictate I had an incoming call. Andrea has some pretty "off the main road" kinks. Her belt is to have some very interesting features. She was a bit disappointed to find that she has to wait. I decided to make a third detection belt. Dolf can handle the data with no problem. I estimate I could have ten of them before I run into problems. Now that the design of the detection belts is final (for now) they cost me about $100 each to form. I think I can handle that. I told her I would make another detection belt tomorrow and call her as soon as it's ready.

I did and gave her coordinates, but instead of beaming to one of my chambers she appeared in the front yard and knocked at the door. I asked her "Why did you just waste the energy to get here ?" She replied that she didn't intend to make a habit out of it, but for our first meeting she thought it would be nice to just knock at my front door, and that she was only about 250 km. away so it wasn't a lot of energy. OK.

Andrea is tall at about 6'3", olive skin and jet black hair and eyes, she is also very sexy. She hugs just about everybody she meets and did a good job on me. She maneuvered herself so my leg could feel her "heat", I had to say "I'm, ummmm kinda married". She pulled away and looked embarrassed.

She sat down at the table and had her head in her hands, I went over there and put an arm around her and said "Don't worry about it, I am loyal and even if I wasn't it doesn't matter" . At that point I dropped my pants so she could see that I was locked up. She just about couldn't stand up at this point. When she started giving me her wish list of features for her belt it was I who had trouble standing up.

This is a tall order, she not only wants the clit shield, she wants a punishment device built in, a clit pincher I guess. She also wants to be prevented from urinating or defacating, of course within limits. I told her I would have to install a sensor in her bladder, something which is very hard to remove, as far as the anus, it can be handled externally. I told her she needs to sign a medical release for it and I encouraged her to seek the advice of a Senior Doctor and have him contact me. She did. I know two Senior Doctors who are very kink aware and I gave her their contact information. Ken Griffin called me the next day and we discussed the details.

After a discussion with him I decided that the sensor would transmit constantly until it sensed a certain pressure in the bladder. That way if it ever failed, had to be removed or somehow fell off or whatever, a sort of failsafe was provided. Andrea had a bit of a strange kink and wore the detection belt in high power mode all the time. Dolf told me that she purposely tried to strain against it, to urinate, whatever. I had warned her about the dangers, and she didn't screw up, but when she put the belt in the off mode I bet she was,,,,,, quite relieved.

My Amy and I experimented a bit with piss control and I know how exotic it can be, but for a Man it can't be done with "clamps" on the penis. This can get very painful. You need a seal or a catheter. I can't say much about Women, but the situation is different.

We talked at length to get the design right, all through the week. As a Junior Doctor I can understand some things, exactly what she wanted to feel was the point. She didn't want a catheter, she wanted the flow stopped externally. This basically requires something like the detection belt to be built in, TSGs and all, and the bladder sensor. That bladder sensor better work too or I might get keel hauled. (Keel hauling was a punishment given to crew members on the ships of ancient mariners. You are bound hand and foot seperately and the long ropes are dropped under the ship, YOU are then drawn under the ship from one side to the other, you might live, you might not. I would hope this treatment was reserved for those who breach the authority of a ship in a way that endangers all, but I'm sure it was sometimes applied because of the hubris of the Captain)

I also decided that a full body profile would be made before she got the thing because of the implant, that's about twenty terabytes of storage but it's worth it. It is very hard to do a restoration, but at least it's possible. See when you restore, you can't restore the brain otherwise memories and whatever will revert to the previous state. In other words you would get into the chamber in 2418, but if the scan was done in 2415, you would walk out thinking it's 2415. If I didn't use the special procedure for this, and I had to restore her, she would walk out of the chamber thinking that we were just getting started. It would wipe away those memories aquired in the interim.

The idea formed in my mind, the design of the belt. I kinda joked to myself that this could be dubbed the nymphomaniac special. There was a lot to it so instead of coming up with a price off the cuff I let Dolf do it. It was $1175, plus my usual $250, screw it, it's $1400.

Understand this, I only charged Bob $900, and this is only a belt, but it has a shitload of features, Andrea told me that she wants EVERYTHING I can do, absolutely everytthing.

This was a bit of work, but it was work that the results of which could be used again. Andrea paid Dr. Griffin his consulting fee, but he went above and beyond. We talked for hours and eventually I invited him over, he hasn't made it over here yet but I think that will be an interesting day. The sensor in the bladder was designed and I sent him a copy of it, he studied it for a day and said it was good, but he wanted me to use a sensor on the anal sphincter as well. I told him that I could probably handle the safety issue externally but he said that it would be better. He eventually made it over to my place during Andrea's "week of dicovery", and designed an implant that would do the trick.

To our knowledge Dr. Griffin and I have been the only ones to beam things into a human body. Years ago we expanded on each others' work. He had used vitrillium and even simple stainless steel to make the orthoses, but neutronium is far more inert.

I had read his papers and his dissertation, he pioneered transporting mineral supplements directly to the organs which need it. His view was that it's a procedure you do to prevent or cure a disease, but to do it repeatedly is not good. The human body adapts, and might adapt to not needing these nutrients, therefore making the body not able to absorb these nutrients properly. Actually the treatment that restored me to a younger vigor and health was pioneered by Dr Griffin.

I found that it restored my brain as well. I was again froth with ideas, my memory improved, as a double edged sword, and I learned very well in school once I got there. My eleven years in school were the equivalent of twenty, even guaged against people of this time. He knew a lot about me, and had read my dissertation as well. We have substantial mutual respect.

I had to ask "Do you share the fears others have of me taking over the world ?"

He told me that a couple of things were scary, but, for one no matter what kind of transponder I had he could beam me out of existence at will, what's more if I beat that he can simply beam the atmosphere away from me. Now this doesn't necessarily suffocate you, but it causes quite a turbulence and is likely to kill all nearby. It would certainly destroy the house as well.

This guy is hard to get ahold of. He only RSVPed me because he has read my dissertation, and some of my subsequent works. See, Kenneth R. Griffin was born in the 23rd century and had an accident similar to mine.

His accident happened when he was only 20, about ½ my age when it happened to me. He has had a lot more time in this society than I, and though this was the first time we actually talked as equals, he was sort of a mentor for me. I literally read everything he published in school and even afterward. He is 96 physical years old now and his wit is right there.

I tried my own wit "Well, I can deflect your puny transporter beams, and I have enough lumber in the attic to build a new house if it burns down, so there". He cracked up so bad he started coughing. I was hoping I didn't kill him. I had read his bio and he was one of the few people who could understand that joke, houses are not made of wood anymore, and lumber is wood. Just so happens that he was raised in a 200 year old house in the 23rd century and it was a wood frame house. He actually laughed at that twice. He then asked "Are you busy ?" I said "Yes, doing what we're doing, but nothing else". He said "Come on over, hit a transponder right now, or I'll just beam over if that's OK". Damn.

He showed up with this satchel, which was keeping a bottle of what looked like booze cold. He brought the bottle out and put it on the table. It was him and I, I had requested Lisa and Toni's absence for a time. We sat in the master dining room and talked. We bullshitted for a time and he said "so you're level 9 on NS ?". "Yes" I replied. He told me there were potential problems brewing on the other continent, and we might be at war in a year. He told me that we will not act preemptively, but defense is another matter.

"Dolf, where is everyone in this room ?". "other than yourself there is one other person, both are seated at the table". Dolf invoke ground zero for the occupants of this room". "password". "dolf, verbal smelly818". Complying, please wait, , , , , , , done".

"Dr. Griffin, you have read me correct ?". "Yes".

"I can now break TSG tethers even if they're outphased". "Wow".

He asked "How the hell do you do that ?".

I told him " It takes a special aiming system to find it, then I put a sympathetic frequency in, then crank up the power which feeds back and increases the internal supply voltage until it goes into safety. The TSG will eventually reset and resume operation, but it is off for now". Unfortunately if the TSG is battery operated you are actually charging it. He knew that, now.

He asked me how the hell I accomplished this, so I bade him to join me in the shop. "Dolf, move ground zero to the shop". "complying,,,,,,,,,done". We went upstairs and I got everything fired up.

I showed him the computer model of the design and he was impressed, he said "Do you realize the potential of this ?", I said I think so, he said I don't think you do.

Once he started his oration I assumed the student position. (read about that in the corrollary)

His oration was strong because of what I had accomplished, the very first words out of his mouth proved it.

"Do you know what you've done ?, you have setup communication with other universes. I can see that your model is based on the Smythe theorem, that there are an infinite number of universes, and what your device does is to make the links in the chain small enough. The thing is now that I see it can work, the Smythe theorum is no longer a theorum. Why haven't you shared this with the HT community yet ?"

I said " My paper is almost ready, and now that you mention it, you can read it while I go to the bathroom. Also, do you want anything, like to drink or something ?". He said "No, but bring a couple of glasses to drink out of, I want you to try this stuff".

He said the alcohol in it was there to promote absorbtion, and if I had any aches and pains they would be gone in the morning. I didn't have any aches or pains but that stuff got me high in a way I'd never been before, I felt as strong as a gorilla and agile as a cat. I bade him to follow me outside a bit later. I activated my transponder and said "Dolf, flyboy".

Dolf activated the TSGs on me and then I showed him how to control them a let him have a go at it. You can actually fly as far as 2 km from here and not exert one calorie. You control it with your shoulders. I let him take it for a ride.

When he got back from his flight he said, OK Dr. Bowen how do I take this off ?", it released him. I had forgotten to tell him that when you are on the ground and use the word off it shuts down. He was impressed.

After the ride he settled into one of my lawn chairs in silence for about one minute, and then said "Why do people like us, I mean people from the past do so well here ?". I responded "I think your basic thought process is formed at a very early age, and the conditions that existed then are the cause, we think differently".

He handed me a card with contact info for someone named John Canton. "Get an appointment with this guy, he's NS13, and you will be an NS12 by tomorrow. Take a look at what they're working on and see if you got any ideas". I replied "No problem".

He stood up and said he had to go and it had been great, activated his transponder and disappeared just as he had come.

It's been a hell of a day. It had gotten late and I was glad to get into bed, not to play, to sleep. Toni and Lisa just cuddled with me, and I didn't provoke further action.

I was drained, I had a million things going through my mind. I couldn't sleep. I got up and went down to the kitchen, Lisa followed me. "Lisa, what are you an NS7 ?".. She said yes. I said, "It looks like war within a year, and while I'm not conscripted in the usual sense, I have duties. The other continent is going to attack us even though we didn't do anything wrong to them. They're jealous of what we've built, and don't understand that it can't be stolen, and even so, our Constitution and morals prevent us from taking preemptive action, so they need me".

She said "They need us". We embraced, I could feel her cry inside, because war is hell and we have children on the way. I took her outside and taught her how to fly with the TSGs on the property. After she was done she sat with me and made it a point to make body contact constantly. She said "This is almost too much". I told her "I know", and we sat there for a while.

I asked her "Do you recall Adm. Dr. Ken Griffin ?". She said yes, he had been a lecturer when she went to school. I said "Well he just left and from wha...."

"Ken Griffin was here ?" I said yes. "Why didn't you call me down, I would love to see him again !" . I told her I couldn't, we were talking national security and I needed a promotion just to be in the conversation I was in !

I cradled her face with my hands, looked straight into her eyes an said "Next time he comes here you'll be there at least part of the time, I'll make it happen". She started to cry ! Come on she's only in the first trimester, well, maybe this is a real issue.

"What's wrong ?" She told me that she didn't really feel that she earned her NS7 and HT clearances, they were needed for a job she had before she met me. This was a rough one, but I prevailed.

I said "So what's the shame in that ?", I went on, "have you ever violated any of the protocols for your clearance ?". She said no. I felt her take a deep breath, which is very exotic and erotic for me. She also straightened up her posture. I was like I felt her change from an old Woman into a young vibrant athelete. It was exquisite.

Lisa is very advanced psychologically, but doesn't keep a lid on her emotions like I do, I've killed and watched people die, she has not. I never want her to have that experience, it changes you in a way that can't be undone, and I want her just the way she is.

I had to tell her "Lisa, I have not been spending enough time alone with Toni, she is just as pregnant as you and I need to be around her. We have time because we work on things together, I don't want her to be lonely". She said she understands.

Toni was in the kitchen cooking up one of her own special recipes. I let her do it and sat down at the new table. She was making bean soup with a bunch of really good looking ham. She had made it before, the bones would be removed and we usually ate it with some sandwiches.

I said "You know what's going to happen in bed", she said "Just tell Dolf you're smoking".

"I might just be".

She sat down across from me. I put my hands on the table palms up and she took them.
