The Z-1 Ranch

The Z-1 Ranch P-34 CGW©

Efraim strolled on the Z1 like he owned it, it was Saturday and everything was relaxed because people travel on that day. He was on a mission; he was going to retrieve his wayward son and take him back home where he belonged, he didn't belong with the likes of his dad.

Efraim had no problem finding the same cabinet his son was conceived in Eddie never changed anything in his life. Efraim pounded on the front door with his fist.

Chadwick not wanting to upset his dad who was sleeping by whoever was pounding on the door answered it quickly, he came face-to-face with his father. Chadwick looked at his father with a scowl on his face, what are you even doing here. I said goodbye I left you and that should be enough for you to understand no matter how thickheaded you are I'm finished and I'm not going anywhere with you.

Efraim went to grab his son who deflected his hand, boy I am your father and you will come to me whenever I call for you and you will live only where I tell you to live do you understand that you belong to me.

Chadwick raise his voice; I belong to no one especially not you I am here in my dad's home where I at and where I will live for as long as I want to. You need to leave here and never come back because you're finished for as I'm concerned. I love you, you're my father but I cannot stand you for what you did to my dad.

I see that he has already changed your mind, so what sorry sob story did he give you about the truth.

Father he didn't tell me anything, I read all of the letters from the courts all the transcripts to and from both of you. I can't believe that you were so selfish and so greedy that she would rip me newborn from his arms before he could even hold me much less nurse me. If there's anybody that's changed my mind it's you and your actions not dad. Contrary to your warped demented thought pattern he is the innocent one here and just as much of the victim as I am.

Efrain lunged at his son only to be caught in the gut by stiff fist. I said leave here and now father and maybe one of these days we can salvage what little bit of relationship we might have don't blow it because you to pigheaded.

Eddie come out of the bedroom area holding his stomach and was almost sent into fright, he saw Efraim standing in the doorway of his home.

There you are, you worthless piece of shit, I see you're still popping them out left and right, how many does this is make for you total.

Chadwick stepped in front of his dad, father back off he is got a difficult road ahead of him just conceived not long ago and its twins so he doesn't need any stress and none of your shit. I'm imploring you to please leave the Z1, please leave us be.

Boy you just don't get it; I'm not going anywhere without you. Your place is in my home where you belong and I will tell you what to do.

Efraim felt a heavy hand on his shoulder and the pressure bared down on his neck, it was Mr. Zach. Efraim I put you off this place years ago we decided to steal a baby from its dad, and I'm not gonna tell you again you are not welcome here ever again. And unless you want to the rackknar bait in the back 40 you need to walk away; the young man will get a hold you when he's ready but not before. Mr. Zack applied more pressure causing Efraim great pain he took one arm and bent it behind his back and escorted him off the porch to the front gates.

Zack shoved Efraim forward and as the man stumbled, he kicked him dead square his ass causing him to eat dirt as his face collided with the ground. You go catch the next transit outside the front gates and you will never ever bring your sorry ass back here if you know what's good for your well-being.

Efraim stood up and started dust himself off and was just about to say something when Zack pointed to the front gate and told him to leave. Efraim turned around and walked away pissed at the world.

Chadwick for you and your dad okay, that he didn't do anything to harm you or Eddie.

No Sir Mr. Zack, I was holding my own until you showed up am so glad you did. I should've looked out the curtain but I forgot my place.

Just to be on the safe side I'm calling Lex over so he can do a check up on your dad's pressure.

Jeremiah walked in and realized that something was very wrong, Eddie was upset and crying to be rushed to be by his side.

Jeremiah; for the next couple days you need to stay home and take care of Eddie, I'm going out to the main gate with a couple heavyweights to take care of something that should've been taking care of years ago.

Zack turn and got in his speeder and left headed out front. He called Madison, Ben, Tim and Robbie to the front gate immediately.

A very pissed off and dirty Efraim stood out on the curb when Zack walked up with his motley crew. Efraim this is your one and only warning stay away from the Z1 don't ever come back here if you do the boys here will make sure you won't ever show up again. Chadwick will never know what happened to you other than that you disappeared from his life permanently. And I can promise you they won't find you on the back 40. The next transport is scheduled right about now you, get on that unit and you head back to wherever you want to head to just don't come back here ever.

The transport arrived right on time and it was none other than Lester Roland driving. Hey Mr. Zack what brings you out here this way you got me a special one here. He looks a little bit dirty and disheveled don't tell me he was causing problems on the Z1, at his age he should know better.

Lester he's got a return ticket to where he came from, make sure he gets back there his kind just don't belong here on the Z1 we don't take to those kinds of ways like the place that he's from and my guys have too much class.

By the way how's Francis and the boys doing, have the boys to get along just fine Irvin just went through transition and Dallas will be that way within a year, Denton still hasn't found anybody, some don't like our kind making babies, but on the bright side Francis just told me that he's pregnant again. One night of having fun and he takes it serious then here comes another little one.

Lester you know you love it just like you love all those boys of yours, replied Zach.

Lester laughed; Yep, don't know what I'd do without them, best thing I ever did was meet up with Francis. Didn't know a quick rolled the hay was going to come to be a full-time job as being a dad, but you're right I wouldn't trade it.

The two said the goodbyes Lester showed Efraim to the back of the transport bus and told him to keep his mouth shut and everything would be all right if he started to mouthing and somebody may shut it.

Lester pulled off and Zack thought his dealings with Efraim will be over, if he only knew the future.

Zach drove back up the driveway to the main house and waiting on the front steps was Chadwick. Mr. Zack, I need to talk to you about a problem that I have and maybe you can fix it.

Your Eddie's son Chadwick, tell me young man what can I get for you today or what can I do for you.

Mr. Zack you have a hold one of them human men back from the meet and greet there's one I want, he's very good-looking and he'll make very good material for a father. I want him to put a baby inside of me when I cycle. I already met him, I know he smells good and he's got a nice firm ass and the other part of him is nice too, it's large so he'll be up to reach all the way up inside of me through my vent to make sure my impregnation goes perfect.

It's a good thing that Zach wasn't drinking anything or he would have choked on it. But he had to take a seat and told Chadwick to take a seat also.

So, when just when did you meet this human may I ask?

This morning at breakfast Sir, he brought uncle Antonio by for a visit and when I went to hug him, he set all my alarms off on me and even made me get wet on myself. So, I know he is the one that's supposed to put a child inside of me for the very first time, I can feel it when I'm with him.

And do you know this gentleman's name by chance so that when I go to the dormitory and inform him that he supposed impregnate you on your cycle. Need to be sure I've got the right guy, I don't get some random guy, because there are only 60 single human males out there.

Oh yes Sir; his name is Carmen Grillo, he's about 6 foot 5 very nicely built, lite brown wavy hair, he's got a nice face, all of his teeth and he has got an ass on him for days. With ass muscles like that he could really drive the seed home.

Zack realized the young man was being very honest with him, but he almost went to laugh at him. Chadwick it's different with humans than it is with Genmen, when Genmen meet one will tell the other, they're ready and that they've selected him as a mate, if he would like to become the other parent they need to go somewhere and create the baby. Most Genmen don't have a problem with it unless they're already with someone else, but with humans it's a little bit different. You have to take a slower approach not be so forward or you'll scare them off, the human male usually likes to make the first aggressive move toward their prospective mate.

Chadwick let out a deep breath; Well that blows it for me, not only did I grab a hold of his ass cheeks I squeezed really hard, I ground myself up against him in the front and then while we were sitting at the table, I sat beside him and I took hold of his prong just let him know that I was ready. But he got really uncomfortable and for some reason he had to run to the bathroom to take care of something.

Young man, are you telling me that you reached in his lap and grabbed a hold of his crotch and his reproductive organ setting at the breakfast table.

Yes; that's the way you let a Genman know that you're really serious about him you take a hold of it and let them know that you want it and you're willing to birth his child. Did I do something wrong Mr. Zack because dad got mad?

Not exactly Chadwick but let me go out to the dorms and I'm going to have a talk with this young man Carmen that you are very interested in and I'm going to find out what he thinks.

Sir I'm just not interested in him I'm ready for him to take me and put his child inside me now, but I told dad I would wait till I came in cycle.

That's fine son, you go back home and let me think about things for a minute and then I'm going to make the visit, when I get through there I'm going to come by and talk to you and your dad and your stepfather just so that were on the same page I don't want you going off and doing something that you going to regret later on.

No Sir; I would never regret a baby by him, only if it's one time that's fine with me but if he wants to put one inside of me every nine months, he can do that because he's my mate.

Zach set there on the porch shaking his head as he watched young Chadwick bound off to the house. This younger generation will be the death of me, I swear some of these young men have never been to one class of Genmen school, we need to get the education system here going so they can all be well-informed.

Zack looked up and was so glad to see Madison, just the person I need to have on my side, these young ones and their hormones are about to drive me up the wall, I got one that wants to mate with the human no matter what. He's already picked his mate out and is making plans to get pregnant as soon as he can no matter if the human wants to do him or not, he'll do the human if he can hold the guy down long enough to mount him for a good ride.

I know what you mean Mr. Zack, we got one in the household too it seems that young Bryant has got him a human suitor and we found out at the coming home ceremony he let the human sample his nectar, kiss him, hold him, fingered his vent and they went as far as performing some kind of oral sex on his vent. He claims it was fantastic and his eyes rolled back in his head, I don't know what's going on and poor Benjamin is lost, he's afraid to tell his father that the boys are getting out of control with their urges.

Yep I know exactly what you mean in fact I need you to drive me to the single men's dorm so that we can talk to these oversexed humans and maybe put some ice on the parts that are overheating.

Jake and Madison arrived at the dormitory and it was very easy to find Carmen he was standing right there at the front door, Mr. Zack told him have a seat at the table outside he was needed to find someone else but they all need to talk.

Carmen was nervous as hell, he's afraid maybe Eddie or one of the other ones might've said something about what took place this morning.

The big beefy Nolan was also easy to spot at 6-foot 6 light blonde hair and as big as side the house. He was enough to scare anybody, anybody but Bryant, he lusted for the big man.

Mr. Zack set down and looked at the men, I'll tell you why I'm here it seems that both of you have caught the eyes of a couple of our young genman and as soon as they hit their cycle, they fully intend to be caring your children. There is one other here, that we will talk to in a minute about his situation also.

Carmen what exactly happened this morning between you and Chadwick and don't spare the details I've heard a lot.

Mr. Zack, I carried Antonio to his brother's house so he could have breakfast with the family, his nephew hugged his neck then he grabbed a hold of me he started to wrap his arms around me but instead of patting me on the back he grabbed my ass with both hands and squeezed as hard as he could, the guys tonight are going to make fun of me because I got bruises from his fingertips. But that wasn't the worst of things as we sat at the table, he set next to me and scooted right up against me the next thing I know his hand is on my crotch holding my dick and he's not just holding it, he's jacking me off, he got in trouble with his dad and it gave me a chance to get away from him and go take care of myself in the bathroom. Sir it's been a while since I've been touched by anyone even myself, living in the dorm you can't just jack off anywhere, this young man is a sex maniac. If he had his way, he would have stuffed me in the bedroom stripped me naked and fucked me to death.

Madison chuckled; well at least you would've gone with a smile on your face if he would've fucked you to death.

Carmen frowned; I mean he's cute yes, but why is he so damn aggressive? What does he want, a quick roll in the hay or something like that?

Unfortunately; Carmen that's not what he wants, he wants you to impregnate him when he comes into cycle. He wants to carry your child and your child only; all he can think about is you and him making love in every possible position there can be. And from my time here on the Z1 which is several years now running the place, when you have one so determined like Chadwick is, he will do just about anything to get what he wants.

And that brings me back to you Nolan, I understand that you were having a little escapade with young Bryant even before he hit his transformation would you like to explain that.

Mr. Zack; I tried to walk away but I couldn't, he came after me he kissed me, his hands went on my ass cheeks, first in fact his hands went down inside my pants and grabbed a hold of my ass cheeks and my dick when I went to say something, he kissed me and put his tongue in my mouth. I've never ever heard of a genman French kissing anyone. Where in the hell did he learn something like that?

At the coming home celebration yes, we did sneak off I wanted to talk to him to tell him we needed to cool it down, but one thing led to the other, I got the taste of his nectar and it was all I could do not to mount him. Now that he's transitioned, he sent me a communicator message telling me when his suspected cycle date starts and that I need to be ready to make a baby with him. It's not just me it's him also, bodies do things out of nature, but a heart wants what a heart wants, I would never ever do anything to hurt him, but I don't know how his family's going to react. I know I heard his brother just had a baby and even though his brother-in-law's nice he supposed to be a big son of a bitch and I don't want to have to fight him.

Madison stood up and held out his hand, Nolan welcome to the family I'm the big son of a bitch you don't have to fight, I just want to make sure that you don't accidentally hurt Bryant his first time or break his heart now that would really piss me off. But it's not me you have to worry about. Mr. Ben, his father and that puts a whole new spin on the ball game. But don't worry he's a good guy he's just has a gruff exterior around everyone but at home he is a gentle caring individual who loves all of his children no matter how they arrive.

Antonio came bopping out of the dorm and saw everybody then remarked; well what's this a party or something, why I wasn't invited.

Zach replied; you're invited so have your ass a seat young man, we need to talk about another young man that you've made some disparaging remarks about.

I'm sorry Mr. Zack but I didn't know what I was looking at was a genman, guys aren't supposed to be built like that, they're not supposed to have the most perfect butt in the world. I thought it was a woman leaning in that speeder, I should've known on this ranch it's only genman but what's so weird is I didn't say anything I thought it, he picked up all my thoughts. I was going to try to apologize to him and he knew what I was thinking, I can't win with this Bailey character.

Zack and Madison both snickered; Zack cleared his throat, young man let me let you in on a little secret about Genmen, there are some that when they are so in tuned to another one's genetic hormones and pheromones they can read their thoughts it's like you're talking directly to them and no one else, it's scary when it happens both for the reader and the one that's putting out the vibes. In fact, all three of you guys are in deep trouble when it comes to these young genman, they've already chosen you to be the first ones in their bed and they all fully intend to conceive children by you three, but that's where it gets a little different.

Carmen; Chadwick is going to fuck you to death that's all there is, he's going round and round on you and you better be to keep it up because he's going to keep on coming after you until he is sure he's pregnant, now Nolan all you gotta do is tear it up and knock it up, you've got a passive one that is ready to submit to you and to be only yours, that brings us back to you Antonio, now boy you've got a wildcat. He wants to be bred by you but he doesn't want to allow you to touch him, you have to tame that cat and when you finally get in his vent, he's gonna calm down and you and him are going to have wonderful sex for the rest of your lives but he's going to fight you keep you out of his vent even though he's going to present it to you all the time, every time you try to get into it he's going to turn around and push away and try to fight you off, it's just the way some Genman are wired but once they are conquered you can do anything you want. Their yours for life and they will not mate with another Genmen no matter what.

We've got a month and a half on one of them, the other two have almost 3 months before they come to their cycle I want to set up a date night tonight, you will have chaperones for the six of you, you are going to be on a date taken care of by yours truly, you going to Constantine's for milkshakes and burgers, star birds or whatever you want to eat as a group date you will not be allowed to walk out together, at the table you will sit opposite oof each other no Genmen - human matchups, this is a date and a date only. So, you gentleman need to make sure that you're at the main house on the front porch at 6:45 PM ready for your dates, do not make me send a search party for anyone if you decide to get cold feet, because you will have a warmed ass courtesy of my shoe.

And don't worry about the other young men they'll be there, some of them may be hogtied and gagged but they will all three be there. Madison and his partner Benjamin will be your chaperones so do yourself a favor don't even try it because if you think Madison is scary wait until you meet Benjamin, he'll eat you alive. Okay all three are free to go back inside, me and Madison are going back to the main house for a while, we've got work to do we will talk to you later.

Zack and Madison got into the speeder and pulled off when Madison looked at his boss, Benjamin; eat them alive are you kidding me he's a softy.

But they don't know that, so best they be scared and toe the line when it comes to rules.

Both of the men laughed.

A couple hours later Zack received a frantic call from the front gate, the transit had returned and was requesting a medical team to assist with an emergency on board.

Madison and Zach rushed to the front gate there by the front entrance door to the transit vehicle stood Lester and he was beside himself. Mr. Zack, I didn't know what else to do you told me to watch after him and get him back home but we had problems let me rephrase it he had major problems. I didn't know what else to do but to turn the transit around after my last drop off and head back against company policy.

Your rider and another customer had a few words about him sitting in the back of the bus. The other guy was almost 7-foot tall, blond headed and built. This guy didn't stand much of a chance. With the new system I don't have cameras in the back yet so I couldn't tell you what went on until one the other passengers said that to others helped your guy while the big blonde guy took his liberties.

There's so much blood back there I don't know if he's going to make it, halfway through the trip here he started moaning and crying and screaming that he was burning on the inside. I deftly know what that means the other guy was human in this older genman that you sent on the transit was in the process of his first time with the human.

Lex and the crew arrived and they took Efraim to the center so that they could pack him to help stop the bleeding and calm him down. The next few days was going to be difficult for Efraim at his age. Zach asked Madison to drive them over to Eddie's place because they needed to speak.

Eddie was very calm about the incident, he often wondered how kind of thing had happened before because Efraim was too proud of himself and always talking trash to others especially humans. He wanted to protect his son during this bad time so he asked Zack to take him to the clinic so that he could sit with Efraim as the first few days of the impregnation hit him. Jeremiah was concerned about his mate and offered to set also, they would take shifts. Efraim might be a son of a bitch but he was still Chadwick's father and for that much deserved respect.

Efraim was in bad shape when Zach, Eddie and Jeremiah arrived, because there was no biological father the burn process had caused Efraim's temperature to spike and he was packed in ice to help calm him.

After four hours his temperature started to drop and Lex told Eddie to go to the house and get a little rest, and be there beside him for the night and maybe after they told Chadwick he would want to see his father.

The next morning Eddie called to check on Efraim before deciding to tell his son.

Eddie had Chadwick set down and Jeremiah stood beside him, son I got some news about your father and it's not good.

Chadwick looked at his dad with nothing but contempt in his eyes, don't tell me the old Bastard fell off a cliff and died. His words caused swift action from his dad when he slapped his son upside his face.

No matter what he is, you remember one thing he still your father without him you would not be breathing life. If I ever hear that again from you, you'll get worse.

Chadwick apologized to his dad, and asked what was wrong with his father.

You know your father is a gruff person, and he doesn't play well with others especially humans but yesterday it went too far, he and three humans got into altercation on the back of the transit were there were no cameras and according to another passenger two men held him down while the third man mounted him. He hurt your father on the inside and now he's carrying the human's offspring. He doesn't know it; he is still out of the process. Lex has got his bleeding under control and his fever is down from the conception, I don't know how at his age he will react that he's carrying for the first time and it's a hybrid because you know how he hates human mixes.

Chadwick looked at his dad and held his hand up, dad I'm surprised that something like this hadn't happened before, he was always bragging about how strong and how big he was that no one would ever be able to mount him, not a genman and deftly not some weak human. I think it's called karma and he got his payback for what he did all those years ago to you and me.

Maybe you're correct son, maybe you're wrong but he has to handle the situation properly, and in nine months there is going to be a baby and there's no doubt he going to birth it if he leaves it we can raise it or he can stay on the Z1 if Mr. Zack will let him and he can raise his son, we will all support him but he has to make the first choice and the first step because he's going to be a dad.

Zach left everyone the clinic to step outside for some fresh air when he noticed the transit bus was still there and Lester was just standing beside the door. He walked up, hey Lester what's the deal why haven't you left yet?

Awe; they went and shut down my damn rig, they got pissed at me for doing the right thing and bringing your guy back. I was told to throw him on the side road and drive off and leave the piece of trash since he would nothing but a Genman, but they don't know my life, they don't know about Francis and who he really is, they think that he's my wife.

The company that I worked for almost 20 years now was bought out by some new corporation, they're talking about cutting off this route just a harm the new development here.

Zack thought about the situation for a moment, Lester if I told you that I was buying for new transport buses to totally rebuilt and to brand-new ones would you come to work driving for me at the Z1, you know we have room for your family so you don't have to worry about being away from them for so much. The buses will run here to the Township to the city and back to hear bringing new customers new clientele to the museum library the restaurants into the Township for the new centers there plus we're going to have new neighborhoods and schools.

Mr. Zack you don't have to convince me when I heard you were going to build you up museum library plus talk about rehab at the community Township out there, I thought you were losing it and maybe you'd been out in the sun too much, but when I saw you break ground and the buildings going up I knew that you had a plan. You know I have four boys and Francis just told me number five is on the way. Denton needs to find a mate and none of them are be allowed to cross with the old Farmer's precious Genmen heard. The only reason that Francis an hour there is because got a free house he can sell off nectar Denton and Irving both sell off nectar, and with the deal worked out with the old company I got the transport residents to and from the breeding sessions along with my regular route. Now that that's finished were stuck. Hell; I can't get home, Francis told me we would find a way to get me there and to stay put asked for a room if I needed to from you but Sir I need to get home to my family.

Lester don't worry about that you have one ride coming up, and if I know my situation correctly my partner next door will be taking you home and style. And when y'all leave that old farm boss is going to regret the day.

I don't have any pay yet Mr. Zack, can you tell me how much the nectar brings here so I can tell you how much I can afford to pay.

Lester let me ask you one thing, what are you getting per ounce over there.

Not really sure that's Francis department so I can call him. Shit my communicators dead so I don't know what to do.

Zack popped his open, what your number I'll call.

Zach's communicator was ringing when a very polite voice answered on the other end asking could he help him and who was calling please.

Francis this is Zachariah Spinelli of the Z1 ranch I'm standing right here with your husband Lester and I had some questions for him about nectar prices it your location if you don't mind me asking how much are they paying the old farmer per ounce for you all live now.

Mr. Spinelli he just renegotiated a new contract after some upgrades were made to the old storage system because we were losing too much, we get 250 credits per ounce now we have to go through a broker and he takes 50% then the remaining 125 credits are split equally between the farm and the producing Genmen so that equals out to 62 ½ credits per ounce Sir which is better than what we were doing.

Zack's mouth fell open; did you say you get 62 ½ credits per ounce and that's it no more.

Yes; Sir we were only getting 50 credits per ounce but we got a 12 ½ credit raise replied Francis.

I'm going to ask you something Francis if you got the chance to move to a new location that promised you in contract a minimum rate for your nectar with no surcharges by a broker would you consider moving if it also included a home for you and your children, education for them health care for them and jobs.

Mr. Spinelli; I can tell you right now, as soon as Lester gets back with that transport we are packed and he can bring us to wherever you're referring to, this place here will be a distant memory. May you're not pulling my leg are you going to get us into someplace worse than where we live in now.

No Francis I would never do that to a genman never at all, and if you don't like this place, I will let you choose a new location and I'll pay for all relocating cost for you and your family. But working here driving Lester's routes are going to be less intense, he will be home more often; we will make sure that the boys will only have two be to per room. And you don't have to worry about any out casting here we pride ourselves on our families of hybrids. So, what do you think?

Sir; may speak to my husband? The boys are here right now they're still performing their chores and I think Lester and I need to talk real quick can you please let him use your phone.

Zack handed the phone to Lester he walked away for a private conversation. After a few minutes Lester returned; Sir they are packing right now as we talk and as soon as we get them out of there, I feel safer for them.

That's great because my grandson Ty and Mr. Ed Hawthorne the partner next door will be taking the jumper and going up and picking up your family. While they're there Ty is going to negotiate a new contract for all of the remaining Genmen for their nectar because it'll be greatly improved over what they get now the farmer can use some of the profits to fix up the place and expand if he wants to. It gives him the option of keeping his farm rather than selling out to some corporate raider. We can bring them under the umbrella of the Z1 family so that residents can travel to and from here without any cost whatsoever. They can come to the museum and learn about their history the children can get educations that they would never have a chance to any other time. There's our medical care, were top-notch were just as good as any human hospital and in fact we're affiliated with Hawthorne Memorial Medical Center in Central City. Ty will carry all the necessary contracts with him and if anyone else in the area that have small ranches or farms are interested the same proposal will be made to them will be those corporate raiders one way or the other.

Lester was greatly impressed with Mr. Zack and his generosity, he waved goodbye to everyone as the sky jumper blasted off from the Z1 headed to the Diamond H Farm where his family was waiting.

47 minutes later Ed circled the jumper and got into a landing pattern. As he set the unit down on the Diamond H, there were a lot of people looking at the unit and wondering who was about to get off.

The owner of the farm introduced himself to Ed and Ty and inquired what business did they have on his farm.

Ty took over; dear Sir I am the business accounting and representative from the Z1 ranch owned by Zachariah Spinelli, we are here to extend you ungrateful offer to help you bring your farm into the future and placing it under the protection and guidance of the Z1. We want to improve and replace your nectar gathering system with the state-of-the-art unit so that you can be guaranteed that no nectar will ever go to waste again. We would like to extend you the courtesy of our new solar powered systems so that every occupant of every home can have power at their disposal free of charge. We are not the big corporations and in fact that's who we fight against. We want your people to have the opportunity to view a history of the genman race before they arrived here on this planet, we have a complete museum this interactive a library and were getting ready to open up our own educational system to be sure that Genmen children are highly educated and given every opportunity to expand themselves in the future. We have a top-notch medical facility and one of the best breeding facilities there is our conception rate is 99.99%. By using our breeding facilities and allowing your Genmen to travel to conceive a child or even our breeders to come here and the child will be conceived on your farm.

I understand that you have a buyer for your nectar at this time but he is taking quite a large chunk of your profits. The current rate at the Z1 for nectar per ounce as of this morning is 1500 credits here's a copy of the latest report right here Sir; if you look at it and study the report. At the Z1 we take a processing fee of 10% that equals out to 150 credits the remaining 1350 credits are divided equally between the farm owner and its inhabitants. If my calculations are correct that 675 credits per ounce each. We issue all Genmen and expenditure card every Monday morning the previous week's sales for nectar are applied to their expenditure card. At 10 ounces per day time seven days at the current value you're looking at 67,350 credits for the genman producing the nectar and 67,350 credits far farm. We would hope that you would make improvements to the farm and plus lift yourself up to a better way of living. The newfound wealth can enable your residents to purchase goods for themselves so that they feel better and you're not taxed so much by having to supply as much. We can show you new ways of hydroponic gardening, and as far as the old dilapidated housing units go we have a building system that is consider what they call a pod they are brought out unfolded put together in one day you have a new home most of our units are two bedrooms one bath but they can be connected through a special system to enlarge that, they are cost +10%. We have a weekly program were if we the genman decides it take a job outside because is not a enough work here are we have a special building program going on at the time and we need more help on the Z1 we have dormitories that they can stay at free of charge the nectar that they produce and pump will still be the property of the diamond H. When they stay with the Z1 we house him we feed him we make sure that everyone has a medical examination to make sure that they're in good health, so it's not difficult to understand that were here to help you just got accept it feel free to talk it over with the residents here see what they say about it if they have any other questions I'll be glad to help them out with any answers.

The old farmer scratches head walked off set down and called a Council of the residents to see what they thought of Ty's invitation.

Lester was talking to Francis and there was a little bit of discussion going on, there was some finger-pointing going on between him and his oldest son Denton who stood a good 9 to 10 inches above his father.

Ed walked over and asked Lester if he could help, if you can talk to his oldest boy in mind he's got something in his head that he can't leave here right now he said he's got something too important here he's not leaving I try to tell him nothing is more important than family so he has to leave he said absolutely positively he will not leave.

Ed looked the young man; son follow me what's let's talk about what you got in your mind.

Ed introduced himself as did Denton they walked inside of the sky jumper and had a seat in the pilot area. Ed started out; okay boy what's his name and how far along as he.

Denton's mouth flew open, how did you know? Sir; we haven't told anybody in fact if the farmer found out Rudy would be in trouble. Not as much trouble as he is in now but we're not allowed to have cross breeds here on this farm because the old man just doesn't believe that Genmen and humans should mix. Now he's a good guy don't get me wrong there he's just old-fashioned thinking. We had been so careful for the last year and a half than a little over two weeks ago we had an accident and the condom broke and not only did he conceive and get pregnant he is very pregnant. We've already named them.

Well I can guarantee you one thing son; I'll have a talk with the old man, you go get your significant other and tell him to pack. We don't leave any family members behind, they're always welcome at the Z1 and the Hawthorne Ranch.

Denton was out of that ship in a flash, told his father and his dad he would be right back and he took off running.

Ed was off the ship and walked over to the farm's owner, Lester could tell there was something up because the farmer was shaking his head no. Ed's finger was shaken at the farmer's face and with a few bodily moves he could tell really quick that it wasn't going to be nice if the two didn't come to an agreement. Ed reached in his back pocket took out his wallet and pulled out a stack of bills he rolled them up and crammed them into the old farmer's hand and then there were a few choice words exchanged. The farmer looked down at the money in his hand and just shook his head.

Denton came walking back carrying a small bag in one hand and leading a very young looking very short Genmen with the other.

When Ed looked at him, he realized that the young genman was not only young but very short it was sort of like a Mutt and Jeff situation.

Denton walked up to his parents and introduced Lester and Francis to Rudy; Father-Dad I want to meet someone who means a whole lot to me and the only way that I'm leaving here is if you let Rudy come also. I know you may not understand it but I'm not going to abandon him, not now.

Francis looked at his oldest son, boy you are a head put taller than him, how in the world do you think he's ever going to be able up to keep up with you.

Rudy spoke up for himself; Mr. Francis for the last year and a half of your son's life I have him satisfied and pacified, and if you want to do this to us that's just fine, I'll stay here and I will raise Dalton and Sherman by myself. Denton can come visit his sons whenever he wants to, he's got an open invitation but I'll not go anywhere that I'm not welcome.

Denton looked at his parents, the last year and a half we've been together, every chance we got we snuck around and we've been safe being very careful when we have sex so that he wouldn't get pregnant and the farmer be mad at you. But about at three weeks ago we had a failure and he conceived twice. I didn't want anyone to get into trouble so we were keeping it quiet until we had enough money saved up and we could leave, we had been talking about going to the Z1 so that we could be together but if he can't come along, I'm not going.

Francis hugged his son and then apologized to Rudy for his rudeness. Are you sure it's twins and you did have two burns very first time?

Yes; Sir I'm very sure and I have already gained 5 pounds. I know the Z1 has one of the best clinics and delivery systems for Genmen in the world and that's where I want these babies born, someplace safe not out on a wooden platform in the barn.

Ty was going over the contracts with all of the genman, the old farmer had even called in some of the other local owners to see if they would like to take advantage of the Fortune that had befallen them. By the time Ty was through, he added 13 new small farms and Ranches to the Z1 family. He had hoped to maybe persuade this one, but he knew definitely his grandfather would be proud of how he represented the Z1 family.

As everyone loaded into the sky jumper and they said their goodbyes, Ed reminded everyone at the Diamond H that within the week there would be a regular tram service from their little area directly to the Z1 and the outlying Township they were just waiting for the units to be delivered and they would see Lester again when he came and picked them up.

Everyone cleared back and with a roar of the engines the sky jumper lifted up and they were off to their new home the Z1.
