Lifeboat : First Appearance
This is not the storey of the Exoplanet aegis lodge's attack on the orbital station above the frontier major planet Mariachi-2, of the plan to resist by shutting down the post reactor, leading to the nuclear meltdown of the reactor, destruction of the station and a dozen nearby ship, and a pelting of orbital debris that devastated the fragile and primitive ecosystem of the very planet they were trying to protect. You can get that level from the news and, someday I'm sure, the history book.
This is not the story of how my female parent, my sister, and I escaped that catastrophe, of how the starliner Pegasus II tried to escape the calamity into FTL only to be destroyed by debris, of our flight to and rendezvous at the lifeboats, of the 24-person lifeboat jettisoning with just the three of us aboard. There are at least a 12 such news report from the 87 subsister from the Peg, and most, to be honest, are more compelling.
This is not the story of the number one tumultuous hours after the lifeboat launched, of our lifeboat getting pummeled with junk from the Peg, tumbling and burning for time of day before it stabilized while we cried and screamed, vomiting and pissing ourselves in sheer panic before the lifeboat finally stabilized and we collapsed into an exhausted eternal sleep. I never want to revisit those twelve hr again so long as I live.
No, this is the news report of the three months after that, the meter between waking up on the lifeboat and getting picked up two months ago by a patrol ship out on the edge of explored space. The floor of what happened with my mother, my Sister, and I. It is a very personal story, not to be released before my death, but one that is very important to me. Even if no one else ever gets to take it, I wanted it to be written.
Before we get to that story, let me present the cast of characters, my family.
We'll start with my dad. His name was Michael salad days, and he was 55 when he died down on Mariachi-2. Long before I was born, he grew up on Hestia-3, went to college, got his MBA, got married, and started working in corporate finance. They had a couple of kids, but I guess things just gradually started to fall apart. My dad took a new job with a biotech company on Podarok-2 where he met my mother, the final nail in the coffin for his spousal relationship. He and my mom got marry soon after the divorce, I was born a year later, and my sis was born a year after that. He was a good dad, and seemed to be a good married man, although he poured so lots energy into his work that we all kind of had to make the nearly of the time he had give up. And he was apparently peachy at what he did, because he got picked to be an Executive Vice President of this big financial services house on Minos-4 not long before we took our head trip. That's why we took it - he was taking a breakout between jobs to finally enjoy some time with his category. He was a good guy.
My mom is Anne flower, she's 37 but looks 25, about 168cm tall and maybe 65 kg. She was a teen beaut tabby on Podarok-2, but her syndicate couldn't afford the kind of custom transmissible betterment needed for her to pull in a career out of it, so after high school she went and got a job as a receptionist. My dad picked her to be his new secretary on sight, a certain signal that he had already mentally left his marriage. She kept working until after my sister was born, by that point Dad was really raking it in. She was a housewife after that, but the copious, glamourous kind. I don't ever recall her lifting her hand to do actual housework - that's why we had a home stave. Her main job was to host parties and look goodness, and she managed both with a great sensory faculty of style and an amazing hourglass figure of speech that was probably 80 % innate and 20 % biomed touchup. She never got spoiled, she is still a poor kid from the hills in her fondness, she's a well mom, and from everything I saw she was a proficient wife, too.
My name is Jackson Bloom. I turned 17 standard years old a few calendar month before all this happened, and should stimulate started my fourth year of high school about a month ago. I was genetically engineered at nascence and"updated"periodically ever since, just like 99.99 % of the man population, but while my upgrade were truly top shelf, I've always lacked the form of motivation that would really let me go up to my voltage. So while I am 180cm tall and 85kg of angle, gymnastic muscle, I'd say I'm really a pretty convention stripling. Well, I am a little unusual in one big way. Or two slightly smaller style, depending on the occasion. I mentioned that Dad worked for a big biotech company, and somehow he was allowed to give me some"special features ”, matter they had invented but would never release. Things like heighten pheromones, and testes that can churn out more ejaculate than a typical college frat theatre. Oh, and two dicks. Sometimes.
I have a habitue penis. Well, not regular - it's about 15cm long when limp and to a greater extent than 30cm erect, and a little Sir Thomas More than 6cm across. I call it Honest Dr. Johnson. But it is basically a regular penis. Underneath it is where matter get complicated.
The genetic engineers at the caller gave me a few new muscles, a few new sphincter muscle, and a 2d, more flexible phallus. to the highest degree of the fourth dimension, I keep those sphincter shut with no more campaign or thought than you use to keep your asshole closed, and even during sex it is nothing at all to go along Tricky shaft hidden away. The enhance elasticity lets it compact really modest when not in use. But if I want to, and if Honest Johnson isn't already too erect ( it gets complicated, trust me ), a barely visible"greyback"in my scrotum opens up and Tricky hawkshaw joins the party. The sole real arrest is that I only have so lots blood line, so when both of the male child are in play they're only about 24cm foresighted and 5cm thick. But they look and function more or less identically, one stacked over the other.
By the way, this isn't all as great as it sounds. I had to learn to control all that as a bambino, and until then apparently my parents had some really interest experiences at bath times and when changing my diapers. And while my pheromones and genetically-ensured athletic upright flavor kept me reasonably democratic with the ladies, most don't want anything to do with a tool that size of it, much less two. By the time I was 15, I had successfully gotten three girlfriends to take a personal interest in my dust, and two of them had called it quits on the spot - the one-third was intrigued and resulted in a legal brief but very educational relationship. On the downside, one of the former two also talked about me to her friends, which quickly spread, earning me the nickname of"Tommy Two-Dicks"around school.
By the way, if you are wondering why my Dad gave me this particular"giving ”, I don't really know. I never mustered up the courageousness to ask him, and for obvious cause no longer can. My ripe guess is that he wanted people to see me as a reflection of him, and portion of that included some kind of sexual dominance.
Now before I get to the rest period of the level, there is one more person to mention : my sister, Tiffany. spat was born exactly one stock year after me. My mother wanted a boy and a fille, wanted us to be close in age, and thought it would be cute if we shared a birthday. My dad wanted her to be well-chosen and I think just appreciated the efficiency of the arrangement. She also got some pregnant customized transmissible sweetening, zip quite as off-the-wall as my own… I think. Dad let mom choose her features, and I don't think Mom really understood what she was doing. Regardless, Tiff has always been incredibly impertinent and in excellent health, but by the sentence she hit XIII she could pass for a few twelvemonth older and attracted the persistent care of every man ( and many women ) in any room she entered. She's about 157cm tall, maybe 50kg soaking wet, and her dimension are almost supernatural - long of leg and arm, tiny waistline, nicely proportional titty and ass, and all perfectly symmetrical. virtually of my friends ( all of the guys, and many of the girls ) had made passes at her and I was fully cognizant of how attractive she was… from a purely academic viewpoint, of course.
So that was us : an overachieving executive Dad, a beauty queen secretary Mom, an underachieving window pane, and an elven goddess just coming into her own. A kinsfolk, pretty wealthy and therefore a little more aloof than about, but happy nonetheless.
Oh, one more affair before we begin : The lifeboat.
The Ceres-Hastings communication channel of lifeboats were pretty new but also pretty typical of those found on the prissy class of starliners. They were designed to get rider away from the ship as quickly and safely as potential, and then basically just wait for assistance to go far. They were designed to keep 24 people alert for 30 daytime, and not much else - they offered safety, not comfort. They can't really land anywhere with an atmosphere, and the passengers are deliberately locked out of things like seafaring to keep them from accidentally crashing it into the something, so let's just gloss over thing like engines and armor plating and artificial gravity and center on what we could actually put our bridge player on.
The rear section of the lifeboat had 24 quickening rump in six rows of four with an aisle down the midriff. There was a hatching at the seat by which we had entered, but it literally welded itself shut on launch, so it didn't really exist as a hatch anymore. At the very front there was a small air lock big enough for a single large person, and on either side of it a couple of"command"seating room with the limited ascendancy and display needed to put up the passenger just enough knowledge and control to stay sane. In between was a diminished unfastened area lined on one side with dispensers for rationing out food and weewee and a few storage lockers with some other supplying, and on the former with a laundry, throne, and shower bath that could be isolated from each other and the balance of the ship by privacy board - hygiene wasn't considered all that important but survivor might need to wash away dangerous material off. In the very center of the floor were a duad of panels concealing the location of two automeds.
The movement and the rear discussion section were lined with display that simulated windows, connected to cameras on the exterior of the panoplied hull, and the all blank space was normally kept heated to about 25°C, just a little warmer than normal room temperature. And that was really about it. Again, it was a lifeboat, not a pleasance yacht.
Ok. Let's Begin .
