The Z-1 Ranch

The Z-1 Ranch P-100 CGW ©

When I first started writing the storyline the Z1 Ranch I figured maybe two or three parts and I would be finished, here is the 100th installment of the storyline. To create a sub species or even two sub species on a distant planet with their own ecosystems and animals along with humans has been challenging at times.

How the Genman really came about has been touched upon in the storyline, how many different species were blended through Genetic Manipulation is not really known because some genomes cross each other out so that their genetic strains cannot be duplicated this was the Goran's way of stopping anyone else from creating what they did, they did not consider the Genman a failure nor did they consider them an equal because they were built as laborers through cellular and genetic manipulations with other humanoid species.

One thing we do know is that Genmen are resistant to theta radiation and other types of radiation that normally kill humans when exposure is intense. Hybrids can work around different types radiation for minimal periods of time without any kind of consequences. The only time a Genman is even remotely sensitive to radiation is when they are carrying a child.

This made them the perfect worker, they reproduced whether there was a female available or not since all males carried both sexual reproductive organs within their body. Females take longer to produce and grow or is a male grows within three years and is ready to be bred shortly after transition. A female takes six years to mature and then they can conceive a child.

Females only come into fertile status once every six years, whereas males once they produce and birth the child can be re-bred within three days of birthing or every six months is their cycle dictates. It takes nine months for a male to carry and birth the child if he waits for three months for his cycle to start, they can produce an offspring child once a year, or every nine months if it is needed to repopulate the slave quarters.

The Z1 Ranch through hard work and diligence of Zachariah and Ben Spinelli has become a driving force on the planet of Solaris 10. From a collection of small shacks and workers quarters with a main house for the owner it has evolved into a huge sanctuary for any and all Genman, hybrids and humans wanting a better life. It has purchased other small ranches and farms around the planet and become a teaching and learning center for all. Farming, ranching, construction and general production it is self-sufficient, therefore it can help out others.

I hope that you enjoy this 100th part of The Z1 Ranch.

There have been rumblings for months that the Consortium was up to something, Zack always kept his ear to the ground listing for any information. And every time the consortium stuck its ugly head out of the ground, he was there to chop it off. Was Zachariah Spinelli a popular person with the Consortium, no and he didn't give a damn.

Zach had several meetings at the far out back with Graham and Hoyt, they filled him in on any and all information about the goings on with the Consortium. The GBI had made raids on multiple locations and always rescued Genman and Genmen children that were being enslaved by the Consortium.

The GBI was concerned about some of the information they had recovered from hard drives that were not always destroyed when Raid with through. They were very aware that there would be an attack possible multiple attacks on human cities but they didn't know which city or whereabouts in the city. They had alerted the upper government officials that whatever it was going to be bad.

Today was going be a day like no other day, Consortium finally show its hand. And it would not be good. Ed was running late for a high-level meeting; the boys were giving Carter problems so he decided to help out his mate. He was standing in the kitchen preparing a lunch for the boys when he felt the floor vibrate beneath his feet. Something felt strange to Ed that he could not pinpoint it.

Zach felt the same rumble as did Tim and Luther in the office. Jarvis looked at the chandelier in the front entry hall as it rattled and shook, something was very wrong.

The emergency beacons and every communicator started going off, in the city of Ridgemont there had been an underground blast. What kind of blast was nobody had any idea but for a 13-block radius nothing was left standing?

All cities were ordered evacuated, one by one additional blast happened for in total. Center City had the largest it took out a 31-block radius, millions of lives had just been extinguished. Then another alert came Theradon Thermo radiation detected around perimeter of blast zone.

Tim ordered an immediate lockdown no movement whatsoever in the Township and on the Z1 Ranch or any of its subsidiaries, radiation detectors were activated. The office was turned in to a central emergency action center. There would be no doubt fallout radiation clouds, any and all expectant Genmen were put in a radiation proof area along with humans and hybrids that were not active.

Immediate Theradon badges were issued to all human, pregnant Genmen and hybrid occupants of the Z1.

The emergency system was activated, human government was in shambles. Luckily it was still too early in the morning for a lot of activity within certain areas but were they attacked was highly populated with families.

Lester immediately placed the transit system into emergency mode. The Township was cleared out as fast as they could clear and everyone was sent to the emergency shelters at the Z1.

Sam and Steve were worried about their parents because they were closer to the city then Z1 was. Ed put the air speeder in service and put it in route to pick up the Samuels family. He was just hoping he could make it there and back in time before the radiation clouds formed.

Life as they knew it on this once pristine and beautiful planet was forever change within seconds. Humans once again would be evacuees.

There was a letter sent out to any and all government and civilian offices it was plain and it was simple. `We claim Solaris 10 as our own, kill all humans". and it was signed the Consortium.

The second part to the letter urged all Genmen to report to certain locations for intake into the Consortium, there would be certain allowances made for loyalty to them.

It did not take long for the GBI together its forces along with any and all government forces that were left. In an orchestrated pattern all known Consortium locations were raided, with information from Graham and Hoyt key locations were penetrated and it was not a nice confrontation.

Families had been decimated earlier that day, everyone suffered a life Humans, Genmen and their hybrid brethren.

Genmen are going to the forefront of the devastated areas from the explosions, they were not affected by the radiation so they could look for survivors. Most survivors were not long for the world, all they could do was offer them comfort. Humans were hostile toward anyone and it was understandable, but what the consortium did not count on was the normally domicile Genmen becoming enraged.

The cities were being looted and destroyed from within, a group of sympathizers waving banners promoting the consortium and how to clean up the world were met with great resistance. One stupid youth in his arrogance tried to attack of group of Genmen that were helping the injured.

He ran toward the Genmen who stated his ground and drew back a bat to strike him, the Genmen grabbed the bat the young man held it and lifted him off the ground. He spat at the genman, the next thing he knew the Genmen's large hand was wrapped around his neck and that was the last he knew of the world. The Genman tossed his lifeless body to decide in the rest of the crowd ran for their lives.

The Genmen was not proud of his actions, and the taking of a life because it went against everything he had ever known.

The humans that were hiding behind buildings hiding any and everywhere saw his actions and realized for the first time in their lives, Genmen were not the enemy they were the salvation of the human race.

A young female human child tugged on Clarence's jacket as she looked up at him, he smiled. My mommy sick can you help, Clarence followed the child where her mother was laying on the ground. He assessed the situation and it was just minutes before the mother would no longer be with her daughter.

Clarence comforted the lady as best he could.

Please take care of my Tabatha Sir, I am all she has and when I'm gone, she will not have anyone. As promised the lady that he would care for her should she passed away as she would his own. Within 10 minutes she drew her last breath.

Clarence knew the child did not have long in the area that they were at. She had to be evacuated he slapped a radiation detector on her chest and told her not to lose it to watch the little yellow bar as it got dark the higher darkness goes worse off it is for you. I'm gonna take you someplace away from here, you will stay with some friends until I return, I have to work to help others like your mother.

The blonde haired blue-eyed little girl hugged the big man's neck and thanked him. He kissed him on the cheek. Are you going to be my daddy now she asked? I've never had one those it's always just been me and mommy.

Clarence did not want to break down in front of the child cried himself. I will be your father your daddy what-ever you want me to be but you will be my daughter from now. I live on a very wonderful place for away from the city for away from all of this. I am going to put you on a transit you will sit next to the man who drives he works for my bosses; his name is Lester his wife's name is Francis and they will watch after you until I get home my name is Clarence.

Tabatha hug Clarence once again and kissed his cheek, thank you daddy I promise I will be a good girl for Ms. Francis into you get home. I understand you're busy and must help others but I will wait on you.

Clarence carried Tabatha to the open transit door and told Lester what he expected to be done. Lester had no problem and she would sit beside him until they arrived at the Z1. He would have Francis come meet her, take her medical then go home and feed her plus get her cleaned up and out of those more than likely radiation-based clothing.

Mixed families at the Z1 were eagerly waiting on any information coming in from Center City about family members that once lived there.

As Lester pulled in to the Z1 the exterior of the transit was sprayed with a neutralizing solution for the radiation one by one as the people come off of the transit, they were sent into a makeshift tent so that they could be de-clothed sprayed with a convincing neutralizing solution handed a towel and fresh clothing. Lester paid special attention to Tabatha so that she was not scared but the little girl was built like a block. Either she was still in shock from the whole frame or her mother raised very strong independent young lady that can be no more than six years of age.

At the other into the tunnel Lester stepped out holding young Tabatha's hand, he was met by his very anxious wife Francis.

Tabatha held out her hand. Good day Ms. Francis my name is Tabatha I am to stay with you and tell my daddy Clarence it's to help in all of the sick people in the city from the big boom that took my mommy.

Francis took a knee so that she could be down on the same level as the child. Good afternoon, Tabatha I am Ms. Francis, I'm all about your daddy and what he's doing there to help the others I have a special bed made for you and some fine things for you to eat hungry. Welcome to the Z1 home. Because of the big boom we are in a different area right now for our protection so that we don't get sick.

As soonest Clarence can come home and take care you, he will but until then your will stay with me and my family. Tabatha followed Francis holding onto her hand, as they went to the line picking out a few things for the child where Tabatha saw a ragdoll it had a checkered dress and blonde hair just like her with beautiful eyes.

Ms. Francis who Dolly is that she inquired?

Benjamin looked at me the child that was with Francis. She doesn't have a home either, and I don't know her name maybe you can take care of her and give her a fine name and he handed her the Dolly.

Tabatha hugged the doll; I think I'll name her Sally. And I'll take good care of her keep her safe just like daddy Clarence is going to keep me safe here.

For the next few days strangers became friends and orphans found families. The top Genman chemist and scientist had devised a formula from an old archive file. It was sprayed from the skimmers and it neutralized the radiation clouds above the cities in a massive effort everything in the city was also sprayed after all living creatures were evacuated. It only took 24 hours to neutralize the radiation.

Without genman technology Solaris 10 would've been without human population. Clarence returned from the front exhausted, but determined to meet up with the young human child he had given his word that he would care for.

Clarence had put off having children but his house was all set up for a child. He just didn't feel the calling even though he was a carrier by nature. Maybe Tabatha could help fill that void.

Cleaned up and was decontaminated and grabbed the generic jumpsuit so that he could be rejoined with the child. He got to the center he found out that Francis had moved the family back to their home so that the children could have a little normalcy.

Clarence headed directly for the Roland home, when he arrived there, he rang the doorbell.

Tabatha who had been a little mopey sprang to life when she saw him standing at the door. She took off running with Sally in her right hand, and she yelled out daddy Clarence, I knew you were coming home you wouldn't forget me. She flew into the big man's arms wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him just as tightly as she could.

The bond between the big man and the little girl was instant. Once a Genman gives his word, he would rather give his life than break his word.

Clarence picked Tabatha and held her within his arms, lady I'm tired we go home I'm going to have to sleep a little bit. If you stay with the Roland's for the night that's okay, I can come back in the morning. But tonight, I'm going to be very tired.

That's okay daddy, I know you need to sleep because you help people just like you helped mommy. Sally and I will not make any noise and we know when it's time to go to sleep. The door stays locked and I do not open it for anyone that is your job as the parent. Mommy taught me well, she said they were bad people that would hurt me and do bad things. But as long as you're there to protect me nothing bad will happen.

Do you have any other children daddy?

No baby, you will be my only one for a while.

I know what you are and I know that you can have babies too just like mommy. If you want to have a little brother for me, I wouldn't be mad.

We will talk about that at home Tabatha, chuckled Clarence.

Okay let's go home then by Ms. Francis and Mr. Lester, come see me in my home when I get all settled in.

Clarence took a bag of clothing in one hand and held Tabatha and his other arm and walked out of the Roland's house and down the pathway. He turned left and walked towards their home.

Along the way people stopped Clarence to shake his hand and to make acquaintance with young Tabatha. She was so proud of her daddy; he must be the best daddy in the world, she thought to have so many people like him.

He walked into the front door of the home, it was modest nothing extravagant, clean and comfortable. He showed Tabatha to her room, it was like the rest the house modest. There were some stuffed toys on the bed that any child would have loved to possess.

Don't worry, after I rest up for a day or two, we can go shopping and see what we can find. Sally needs other dollies right, so she won't get lonely. And if you would like a new dress, I'm sure that Miss Sonja can find you a beautiful dress.

There was suddenly a terrified look in the child's face; I'm okay with shirts and pants I don't need dresses, mommy always said they cost too much and we could not afford them.

That's okay if you want a new dress after you see it your daddy can afford it that's not a problem. I've been putting credits back for a long time and it's about time that I spent a few especially on something as sweet as you.

Tabatha hugged Clarence his neck and thanked him. Daddy I don't mean to say something but use smell, not really bad but you need a bath.

I know baby, and you just make yourself at home viewing screen is in the living room you can turn it on and watch movies. I will not be long and I will come out and find you something to snack on if you're hungry.

Okay daddy I'll wait on you.

Clarence walked to his room and went in and jumped in the shower and began to scrub himself from head to toe. He slipped on a pair of lounge pants in the oversize shirt so that he could be comfortable and slippers. He heard the little girl giggle from the living room. He walked in and noticed she was watching cartoons.

There was a knock at the door and Clarence to see who it was. He opened the door and there stood Mr. Zack and Mr. Ben, he welcomed them into his home.

Zach saw Tabatha sitting on the sofa and waved at her, she busted off the couch and ran over to call him uncle Zach and hugged his neck. Then she turned her attention to Ben and hugged his neck and kissed him on his cheek, my daddy's home now uncle Ben.

Yes, I see that and it looks like you're very happy.

But he told me he to take me shopping and buy me a dress but those are expensive, he said he's been saving his money but they cost way too much I'm okay with the pants and shirts I've got.

Ben chuckled; if your daddy says can afford them and that means it's okay, they are not too expensive. Plus, Miss Sonja has been wanting to meet you young lady, she owns the place where you will go to pick out your new dress. She told me she had something special for you herself as a welcome to the Z1 present. Tell you what, when your daddy gets up tomorrow and decides that he wants to town I will have Madison drive over here to pick you and your daddy and we will all go into town for something very special.

Tabatha hugged his neck once again thank you and given him a kiss. Then went back to the sofa

to watch her cartoons.

Benjamin turned his attention to Clarence. Children no matter how they come to us are a blessing, you my friend have been truly blessed in the best way. I have no doubt that someone is watching over the both of you.

I'm sorry Mr. Zach you too Mr. Ben, when she was there with her mother who lay dying and the lady made a request of me, I promised her I would honor it. It's going to be a big adjustment having a child in the house. And this one will be in the house for 12 years, for a Genman that's a large commitment. She's already put her request in for little brother, for a human child she is very smart. She was brought up correctly and I must do the same.

Only if you're sure Clarence, she's young and she will adjust right now she's in the phase where she has clung to you because you were her lifeline.

That's okay I do not mind one bit, I'm already attached to her. It happened just that fast.

Zach and Ben bid Tabatha and Clarence good night; Ben told them he would see them in the morning.

It had been barely 2 months since Sam and Chip had gotten together but Chip was already showing. Sam decided it was time for a scan, Chip did not disagree with him.

Matt was very happy to see the young couple, he had Chip disrobe and get in a down and get up on the exam table and lie back. Matt felt all around chip's abdominal area for any abnormalities. Okay you to are you ready for the big event we should be able to see something about the baby, we can tell you what sex it is already because it is a hybrid genman and at a little over two months we can get a good idea of how large he or she is going to be when their birthed.

From as much weight as he's already put on, this one is going to be pretty good size. Remarked Sam. He's not a slouch and I'm not either when it comes to the size departments.

Matt chuckled he's more likely going to be tall like his parents, so let's see what we got here. Matt squirted the imaging fluid for the 8D imager and put the scanning tool on Chip's protruding abdominal area. Now were going in for the big reveal people which and it will be rejected up on the monitor wall. Is there anybody else the supposed to be here today besides you two?

I had invited his brother Steve here but I think he's a little busy getting ready to play house.

About that time the door opened up and Steve poked his head in. Am I too late for the big reveal yet? Sorry that I'm running late but things as they are were trying to get everything situated at the house.

Matt looked back, only in Steve your just-in-time nonfiction hit the switch and we can get this party started.

Well, look at that Matt remarked, let me see if I can make this out in getting any clearer. Matt studied the images for a minute and he began to mark certain areas on the image itself.

He motioned for Steve to come there for second. Get your brother a chair so he sat down with the news I don't want his big ass hitting the ground.

Steve gave his brother chair told have a seat, it would be more comfortable consistent going take a few minutes. Sam grumbled that's took a seat in the chair.

Okay guys this is the deal, Sam and Chip I know that you want a healthy child and I have every intention of delivering a healthy child. You're concerned about your rapid weight gain Chip, but I can tell you that what I see you're right on track. Now I'm going to point out something to you to listen with an open mind about this. I am going to circle feet you see the baby's feet then that's is going to give your pretty good idea of what I'm working with here.

Matt started counting as he circled the items on the screen for both parents to see he stopped 10 feet.

Sam was confused and so was Chip.

Chip looked at Matt, how can one baby have 10 feet that's not possible?

Matt held up his hand and showed it to both parents, they were still dumbfounded.

Okay guys how many fingers do you count?

Chip's mouth went slack, five you're saying that there's five babies in me right now, Sam knocked me up five times, is that what you're trying to tell me?

Well, I would say that he impregnated you I would not use the word knocked up. Yes, are very pregnant and you are carrying five children within your body all at the same time. You're high risk now, so no more working but half days.

Sam had passed out and poor Steve was left trying to hold him up from falling out a chair.

Can somebody get this big lug some smelling sauce I'm tired of holding him up. You mean I'm going to have five nephews?

Well, it doesn't have to be a nephew since it's human and Genmen it can be either sex I can't tell because there too firmly packed in but I can tell you there is one single child and the other for divided out from two eggs.

So that means two sets of twins are natural twins and a singular pregnancy, you are going to get very big Chip. You will need some help in the house later on in your pregnancy. So, if there's any family members that want to help out?

We can always call Isaiah he might want to help but that means someone else in the family has to know it and Sam wants to keep it a secret away from our parents until about six months along.

I'm not gonna tell anybody how they should notify anyone's parent, but this is a multiple birth and it's your first time Carry so they will likely be early, they can come as soon as seven months and that means they would be premature and require a lot of medical treatment.

Let me print out a couple of these photos for you one with everything circled in one with the circles removed. I give you three sets each, we can always go back and make more copies from the main file so that the children when they're born will have their own copy. I might suggest that you keep one for your records sent one home to Sam's parents for they can keep it and one to Mr. Ben and Mr. Zach. They are going to be very interested in this.

Smelling sauce finally arrived and Sam was awake and about two seconds. He looked it Chip and apologized, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to put that many in you.

Sam that's not how it works I was activated yes, your DNA caused me to drop multiple eggs and they available for your seed to fertilize them. While you were passed out the doctor told me that two of my egg split in one stayed a single, so we have a single and two sets of twins and this pregnancy. I really don't think we should keep this from your parents anymore.

Bro I don't know about the whole thing but Chip is correct, you might as well go ahead and tell father and mother the truth because this is going to be a big event. When Isaiah comes out to them it's gonna be a big enough shock. Plus, they need to know about me and Brody, he's getting ready to transition at any time so will be living together as a couple. After one year were gonna try to have a child.

What about Isaiah, he just 17?

Yeah, he's 17 and been fucking since he turned 16, or should I say he's been getting hammered since he was 16.

What in the hell are you talking about Steve?

Your younger brother is a fancy, you know a little light?

I don't understand I'm dumb what you saying?

Sam he's trying to tell you that Isaiah is a and has been having sex with another human male I think for the last year almost.

Isaiah is not gay, he's just Isaiah.

Sam every time Tuesdays and Thursdays he has a standing date goes to collect the mail from the mailman who is 19 and he gets hammered. In other words, they butt fuck, they had been doing it for almost a year now and as soon as he turns 18, he's moving out and moving in with Shia. According to Isaiah, Shia has a very good job, so he can provide a comfortable life for them without Isaiah have lift a finger. When they get ready for children, they intend to either adopt an orphan or pay someone to have a child for them.

Mr. Ben had the best plan that was for them to request a carrier to birth a child that was a hybrid. I think it's great personally. And if they both at different times impregnated the same carrier the boys could be natural siblings or there could be a girl. But he doesn't know about any of this. But just think about it if he is raising Hybrids, he could hear was one with us in that way would be away from the family.

No matter what father says, mother could always see her grandchildren, she's coming to market she's dropping things off for the farm. She can see your kids while she was seeing my children and any that Isaiah and Shia have. It's all-around win-win situation. Do you really think your mother is going to turn her back on her own flesh and blood grandchildren?

Know how father is with Eric, think he could resist bouncing one of his grandchildren on his knee? You stop and think about that, especially after he knows about these five coming along.

Sam your brother does have a good valid point, plus I need to get up and get dressed, we need to make this exam room available for the next patient. We can talk about this back at the house, Steve stop by and get Brody and bring him by, your brother is going to need a lot of convincing, maybe even pick up Benny.

Okay two future brothers-in-law on the way, see the both of you back at the cottage. Steve was really having a time understanding the whole concept of the multiple eggs syndrome that happens when some Genmen and humans conceive.

The cities were slowly starting to rebuild with the help of Genmen across the planet. The Consortium had been devastated after multiple raids on different facilities. They were zeroing in on the main leadership Council and it would only be a matter of time before all of those who did the horrible atrocities paid dearly. So many so-called Royal Females, were captured in the raids. The planet government was reluctant to turn them over to the Genmen counsel Fearing immediate reprisal and termination by the Genman.

What the planet government failed to realize was that the Genmen not only wanted to make them pay for what they did that fateful day on Solaris 10 but for the eons of torment that they had bestowed upon the slaves of their home world.

A lot of people were displaced with nowhere to live, a lot of them didn't trust the city anymore. Ben set aside 1000 acres so that 3000 homes along with access roadways through a planned subdivision Could be built. Anyone wishing to build a home had to apply for an application. When they found out that it was a Genman that was making the offer a lot of humans were distrustful, mostly due to poorly education about Genmen. Once the application was processed and they were through the family requesting the homesite had to agree to assist in the construction phase of the home. They were given a user's deed and title that allow them to live in the home for as long as they wished. They were expected to notify the construction maintenance company of any deficiencies in the home and when they no longer wish to live there, they would vacate the home so that another family could.

After a few seminars in the city explaining the situation with the housing families slowly began to trust more. Soon there were more applications than homesites, Zach suggested that they roll out some more property so that other families would have a chance at a new life. A total of 5000 acres was now included in the master-planned housing area. 15,000 new homes total were scheduled to be built. The Township was growing, and the Z1 would have to add more transit carriers to the four they already owned.

Caleb's mother Gladys had purchased the largest home that she could use until her new home was built outside the Township in the original master-planned area. With one due any day and another member of the household plumping up quite rapidly it was imperative that the bigger home be finished soon. Jake put three crews on into speed it up.

Solaris 10 would eventually heal from the scars that were inflicted upon her; people though would take longer to trust. Some entire families were gone. Carmine and Vincent were the only living children left of mama Celeste's family.

August Jessup was suffering from exposure to the radiation, Zahara is by his side as he slowly recovered. Claxon was taking it hard because this was the only parent he had. Augustus wasn't doing much better Zion has his hands full.

The GBI while monitoring transmissions picked up on an interstellar communication. It was from the high command contacting the Consortium, wanting information on the success of the attempt to neutralize the human bugs.

As soon as the Consortium transmitted, they gave away their location. This was impossible to find them, prior to old Genmen technology being reenergized and reengineered to work with communications devices on the planet. The main headquarters was at the top of the trade center of the stock market in Center City. The GBI activated an all points jamming system for a five-block radius around the trade center putting all involved in darkness.

The building was surrounded by GBI forces. One by one workers were brought out of the multistory building, no one was spared and no one could be let go until they were rightfully questioned. All of those on the top floor with the transmission originated were isolated from any communications with any other person.

They didn't get all of them because there were escape tunnels and auxiliary power sources to keep the tunnels functional in case just such event happened. But what the Consortium did not plan on was the five-block radius blackout. No communications and no power to any building. So, this left some of them trapped in their own maze of tunnels.

Each building had been secured in the five-block radius and no one was allowed in or out of the area much less the buildings. Employee files and records were checked against those wishing to depart the buildings. There were a few more cockroaches found and several ratlines.

The GBI considered the whole operation a success even though they did miss some of the members. This was a devastating blow, but it would take more than this to cripple the entire operations of the Consortium so the GBI would always be on the lookout.

Clarence who was once more of a free spirit had settled down into the role of daddy for young Tabatha. He made sure she had the best clothing to wear and every learning tool at her disposal. Tabatha had made a lot of friends in the neighborhood; she had become aware that the Genmen children grew quicker than she did but that was okay she always had kids to play with.

A couple of the livelier young genman began to taunt Clarence, saying some derogatory remarks directly in front of Tabatha. This was one day that Clarence wasn't in a particularly good mood, but yet his daughter wanted to go play in the park and he would not fail her as a parent.

She was swinging on the swings with the other young children when an arrogant Genman walked by Clarence and squeeze his buttocks. Want to send the kid home to nap that way me and you can have some fun and I'll give her a little brother deal with.

I am here with my daughter I don't want to hear that trash around her or said to me.

But you know it's what you need, you need a good stretching. Before Clarence realized exactly what he was up to, the young genman was lying face first in the dirt, knocked out cold. Clarence could not believe that he had just struck another Genmen in the face no less.

The other parents were a little shocked also. Clarence took a seat on the bench and buried his face in his hands.

Tabatha came over and set beside her daddy. That's okay daddy he deserved it he was no good for you, he was rude and mean.

Within a couple minutes Zach showed up and took a seat on the bench next to Tabatha. Young lady I need to talk to your daddy you want to go play with the other kids?

He was rude and mean to my daddy, you don't touch anyone unless you are invited that's just nasty, my mommy taught me that so he deserved what he got uncle Zach, please don't punish daddy.

Zach smiled at the brashness of Tabatha. I came here to check on your daddy to make sure he was okay but it looks like you have things well in hand. So, if you will excuse me, I will have someone pick up the mean man and he will have to answer for what he did.

Two of the security staff picked up the Genmen and drug him out of the park area away from the families that were enjoying it. A night in lockup might cool him off, that was after medical checked him out.

Zach followed the security as they loaded the Genmen in their body and carried him over to the clinic area so he could be assessed.

Matt walked out of the exam room, well Mr. Zach let's just say cracked upper jaw broken lower jaw and five teeth knocked out. Whatever he did to make Clarence react like that it must've been bad because Clarence is not that kind of a Genman at all. He is so tender kind and peace loving. So, I imagine he deserved it, I'll bondage jawbones back together and put his teeth back if they can be if not, I'll put him artificial one's in.

Maybe he needs to go back to reeducation, because he's got good genetics so we don't really want to throw them off of the Z1 Sir. His name is Artemis by the way. Doesn't have a record works full-time but for some reason he stepped out of bounds and Clarence put him back.

Zach thanked Matt for everything that he did and he would see Artemis in the morning after a night in solitary lockup.

When Zach returned to the main house Ben was a little concerned, is everything okay with Clarence and Tabatha?

Ben they could not be better, but the other young man's going be sore for all while. Clarence cracked his upper jaw, broke his lower jaw and knocked out five teeth with a single blow. Whatever he said and did I have no doubt he deserved what he got. Clarence was only protecting his child, as she protected him when I tried to ask questions.

The young man's name is Artemis and he is in solitary lockup for the night.

Are you going to expel him from the Z1?

Ben I really do not know, Matt has suggested reeducation and retraining. The young man has never been in trouble before, has an exemplary work record and great genetics according to Matt.

Okay, but I want to be there in the morning when you see the young man.

You are welcome anytime to tour with me.

Zach's communicator flashed and it was Matt he needed to talk to him about the toxicology screen that came back on Artemis.

Yes, Matt how can I help, you said something about a toxicology report?

Yes sir, there was a high spike of a street drug that is popular with some of the younger crowd and humans. Zarloff-3 is all over the streets, it's a mind-altering chemical compound that causes people to do things that are suggested by others. Other words if you are high on it and I suggested that you jump off the building, you would jump off of the building without any control over the situation.

Okay Matt thank you very much, Ben and I will both be at security locked up in the morning. This has to be investigated, we cannot let a dangerous drug like that end up here on the Z1 being utilized by anyone.

Another thing Mr. Zack I doubt that he realized that there was anything out of the ordinary, it causes a psychosis than a memory blackout. I spoke to one of the others that was in the area, he came by to check on his friend. They had been in the Township and they both had got beverages from a street vendor, he claimed that his had a little tart taste so he had thrown it out. So that was his reason to come check on his friend.

Thank you, Matt, responded Zach.

Sam was a little nervous about contacting his mother. Hollie Samuels was pleasantly surprised when the communicator went off and it was a message from Sam. She was very delighted to hear from her eldest son. Sam how are you doing, is everything okay for you and Steve at school and at the ranch?

Yes, mother it's fine were both doing very good. Tell me is Isaiah around with the tablet that he likes to keep with him according to Steve?

Yes, he's at the table right now and he has the tablet with him why?

His father still in the house?

No, those two had another round in your father stormed out. Isaiah and his dad do not get along at all and I have no reason to know why.

That'll all be explained later mom, tell Isaiah to answer the tablet when I send my message, please. I need you to watch a video call.

Steve was holding the tablet on Sam's end so that he could get a long shot of Sam and Chip holding a photograph.

The video started out on Sam by himself.

Mom now that you and Isaiah are side-by-side I hope, can you see me?

Yes, I can see you just fine son, what's this all about.

Okay mom Steve is going to show you a photograph and I want you look at it and then I want to show you a second photograph that I want you look at. I would like for you to tell me what you see.

Sam held up the photograph that was not marked.

Mom what do you see in this photograph?

I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at if I knew what I was looking for maybe it would be different but I don't see anything really?

Okay mom here's another photograph that has some things highlighted our circle to indicate what you need to be looking at I want you look at the photograph really good then I want you tell me what you see.

Sam held the second photograph that was circled and indicated where assorted feet and hands were.

Holly looked intently at the photograph on the tablet, Isaiah zoomed in on a couple of the circled places. She wasn't for sure what she was seeing but it could look like tiny feet. But there were so many.

Mother now that you had a chance to look at the second photograph can you tell me what you think you see?

Sam I'm not really sure but I think it's a foot of some sort but is too small to make out clearly. Plus, there are so many of them.

Isaiah was very cautious not to say anything because he had a good idea of what it might be.

Steve backed up away the scan photograph, and setting side-by-side were Sam and Chip holding the two photographs.

Mom you know I told you I had a roommate; this is my roommate Chip.

Good afternoon young man I hope everything finds you well replied Holly.

Yes, ma'am I am doing just fine, about the photographs that were holding would you like to know about them?

I don't really know what I saw but if Sam would like to answer the questions yes, I would like to know.

Mother, what you have seen in the photograph, was actually made by an 8- D scanning system, we have here at the Z1 in the medical department. It is used during certain times of a Genman's life especially when he's carrying.

Sam, are you trying to tell me that that young man besides you has a baby in him?

Sam laid his hand the upon Chip's stomach, yes mother that's exactly what I'm trying to tell you Chip is pregnant and I am the father of the children.

I don't know what to say I thought I raised you better than this, you two are not legal.

Mother we are bonded together in a Genman ceremony. But he's just not pregnant he's very pregnant I want you to go back and count the feet and I'm going to count them back to you.

Sam started counting off the number of feet and pointing out each one of them when he counted the last foot and said 10 feet how many babies does that make mother?

Holly Samuels had to steady herself on the couch. Of my gracious five babies, that young man is carrying five babies at one time!

Yes, mother Chip is carrying five grandchildren for you and father. I don't know how to talk to him about this, with all of the problems that he and Isaiah are having I don't want to compound this on his shoulders. So, I have a proposal for you and father.

Chip is going to need help around the house with daily activities as the babies start to grow. Since father and Isaiah need some space between the two of them and we have an extra bedroom he could stay here with Chip and myself and help.

There will be plenty of room for you and father to come visit also as the babies get closer. Mother I know this is not what you dreamed of having a hybrid-grandchildren and not pure humans.

I can't say that I'm surprised Sam, there's not an overabundance of female humans compared to males. I figured that this might happen once you were around them for an extended length of time. Isaiah has been showing me the pad picture box that has all the information and things that the government's website does not have because is interlinked with the Z1 ranch in their archives.

But may I ask where will Steve be staying if Isaiah is at the house and the other room will be for babies?

Steve turned the pad toward himself; mother I have my own house here at the Z1. It's very nice it is three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a very large kitchen a dining room a living area and a greeting area. So, there's plenty of room for everyone when you come visit. And I hope that you do because I would like to introduce someone to you when the time is right.

Steve Samuels, I sure hope you haven't got anybody in a family way, because I will beat the tarnation out of you.

No mother that will not be happening. Number one his father would kill me and nobody would ever find my body, number two is we need to be in school we need to be educated before we ever think about starting a family. We have discussed this in detail and we will be taking double precautions.

It sounds like you have a firm idea of what takes place.

Yes, mother I do and Mr. Ben read me the riot act about any Oops, because if that happens, he'll rip my seedpods off.

I don't know about Isaiah I know the distance between him and his father should help because there's a lot going on but he has a tendency to be headstrong as you know.

Sam chuckled; how well I know about Isaiah but I can guarantee you between working and sleeping he won't have time for anything else. He will have Saturdays and Sundays off but he will have chaperones. And between me and you I no one chaperone that would have no problem kicking him in his pants so hard he will have to pull them down to walk straight.

He will continue his education right here at the Z1, there is no slacking allowed. He might think he's getting a break from father but he's gonna be very busy. And there won't be no hanky-panky going on around here like there is elsewhere.

What do you mean by hanky-panky Sam?

Mother is best if Isaiah leaves for a while, I have a little feeling that he's trying to grow up too fast.

Wait a minute Sam my life is just that my life, don't nobody tell me where to do or what to do in my life.

Isaiah that's where you're wrong, you're not old enough, and you have a whole lot of learning to do. You will be setting in some of the classes that the young genman have to go through and you will see what life is really like. But for now, we have to get father's permission and mother will talk to him if needed be, I will talk to him. Try not to mess this up because you are getting off of the farm, something that you have been wanting for over a year now. Don't make me say everything I know.

Yes, Sam I understand, I will gladly come out and help. This will really piss Collin off but he needs to grow up a little more.

Mom how did the harvest go this year, did you get enough funding for the rest of the season or do I need to send money home.

Sam, you do not have to worry about us, we ended up with five times the amount of a normal harvest because it was done all at one time by those fancy machines in the fields are already flush with next seasons crops. The Spinelli's buying the property and allowing us to live on it plus enhancing our ability to farm has been a blessing. Even your father is impressed, the new improved seeds and planting procedures have made us productive again along the water systems that they have graciously bestowed upon us. When the credits were applied to our account so that it can be spent anywhere. It was more than your father or I have ever seen in our lifetime.

They know exactly who's Paying the best prices and they find the buyers for us. I'm almost getting used to this new place that they put us in. Now since the problems in the cities and they put people closer to us your father is a little standoffish. But I have convinced them it's a good thing that way when we have leftovers from our crops that are not sold and we have not eaten I can always trade and barter with the neighbors.

Mom it sounds like you were enjoying this portion of your life. You had it so hard for so many years along with father, but raising us the way that you did, it taught us to respect everything and treasure it all.

Okay mother the video that you that was on the tablet that Isaiah has is recorded from our end. He can play it back for father he comes in so that he can learn that he is about to become a grandfather in about 6 ½ months.

Now we did edit the portion about Steve out, other than he has a place of his own here as he goes to school. And it is in a file under `Surprise'. I'm sorry that I'm gonna have to cut this conversation short but remember that you are welcome here anytime.

Chip broke in; I expect to see some grandparents at the birthing so that these babies can know where they came from, I have no family that I'm aware of because I was raised on a corporate farm. I was the result of a breeding that was not wanted nor needed. I was raised in a growth center as they call it. I am blessed to be here at the Z1 and doubly blessed with Sam and these babies that I carry.

Son do not worry; I will be coming out to check on you and these babies that you carry and if father doesn't want to come that his loss. But he has a soft spot for little ones it's only when they get to being a teenager and feeling their hormones, does he get grumpy. I love all of you, take care of the babies and I will see you soon.

Holly had Isaiah turn off the pad and disconnect. This is a good thing for you, if your father found out you were fancy it would not do well for you. Isaiah, I love you but I don't understand this way of life that you're choosing for yourself but it is just that your way, your life.

Isaiah hugged his mother.

Shane and Collin came walking in the front door not five minutes after the video visit was over.

Might have known you were in the house and not working, Isaiah your laziness is going to stop, I will not have laziness under this roof.

Holly turned to Shane; husband I had him busy. I received of communication message from Sam and he instructed Isaiah how to use the pad so we could have a face-to-face visit. It is stored on the pad thing so that you may view it also. And while we're talking about it, I have given Isaiah permission.

Permission to do what wife?

Watch the video and you will find out; I swear this free time you have now is not being used wisely. You just find another way to gripe at our third born.

Isaiah took the pad and took it to his father who was now seated in his reclining perch as he called it. Isaiah opened the file named "Surprise" and backed away as his father watched.

Shane set there without an expression on his face as he watched and listened to his oldest son speak. The cold heart of this weathered man began to warm and thaw as he realized that he would be a grandfather for the first time. After the video ended, he handed the pad back to Isaiah.

I agree with your mother, you need to go, you need to learn the ways of others. You will not stay here when you age up and I fear that you will be gone forever. I hope that this does not happen, going to the main ranch and living with your brother, helping him out in the time that he and his chosen one, are in need will be good for you. Take every advantage that you can get to learn everything you can Son. You have my blessings to experience now.

Isaiah; I know that we argue a lot and do not agree on much I am rough on you and hard on you because I know you are smarter than you apply. Don't grow up too fast, learn and grow wisely.

Isaiah thanked his father. This was not the reaction that he expected and it threw him off of his game.

Before you go to do whatever, you need to do today, Isaiah. Call your brother and let him know that in one weeks-time to expect a formal visit from his family. Whatever arrangements he needs to do he can have done by then. We will stay for two days and you will stay on afterwards to assist them.

Yes, father thank you so very much, I'll make the call in just a minute when I get a little more composure. Isaiah really wanted to go outside in pinch himself to make sure that he was awake and it wasn't some kind of dream.

Collin looked at his father; do we really have to go to that and place for Sam and Steve are at with them others.

Yes, we are and yes you do, either you can walk straight or you can walk with a limp. I will not have any disrespect from any member of this family. Sam has made a choice and it was his choice as an adult to make, so I don't want to hear another word out of you. And if I find out that you have disrespected anyone at the main ranch, I will pull your pants down in front of everyone and blister your bare ass with my hand. And that's the end of this discussion.

Collin had never seen his father turn that fast, he had always had Golden boy status in his father's eyes but this was something new, he'd never seen before and he did not want any part of it.

Yes, father not a problem sir, I will not embarrass the Samuels family.

Holly was very pleased with her husband; she would be very happy to see her two oldest sons in the environment that made them happy, with their loved ones that they took.

Unbeknownst to poor Collin, he had been recorded by the pads camera when his father had given him one up about his actions and attitude. And it was going straight to Sam so that he would know that his father supported his choice in life. Isaiah was ready to send the file to Sam and Chip and pushed Send, it was done.

Coming Soon P-101
