The Z-1 Ranch

The Z-1 Ranch P-91 CGW©

John picked up the trays as soon as the guard left them at the cell, he had to be quick or other inmates would take them. He brought them back to the bunk were Everett laid resting.

Come on dude set up, it's not much but breakfast is here and you better eat all. This particular guard is very nice and we want to show him that we are thankful.

Everett set up on the bunk as best he could due to the swelling in his vent, he took the tray from John and started to consume everything that was there. Normally he was picky about what he ate but for some reason he was starving.

Damn dude you're dripping; John remarked as he reached down and touched Everett's left nipple.

Please don't touch them, it will only make it worse they need attention and I don't have a pump.

You mean you got titties like a woman?

No, they're not like females, we can't hold as much as they become overloaded and start seeping the nectar compound that we make in our bodies. It is very nutritious for little ones; it's used to make all kinds of medical formulas and some grown-ups like to keep us under control. Some people find the flavor irresistible while others think that it's too sweet, but I will have to be drained somehow or they'll start squirting until they can relieve the pressure.

John looked around when nobody else was paying attention he applied suction Everett's left gland, he was rewarded with a mouth full of nectar which he greedily swallowed down. He looked up at Everett; damn that shit is good, has a sweetened honey taste but also a little nutty flavor combined.

Everett was very embarrassed that this grown man had just tasted his gland, but yet he was relieved because it let some pressure out. Thank you but it's gonna take more than a mouthful to help me.

Let's wait until they go out to the recreation yards and we will stay in, I'll drain them both. And if we got time, I'll get a little bit of nookie while I'm at it, I'm suddenly horny.

Once you bond with a Genman in a sexual situation and you drink his nectar, you will become aroused and need to express your seed once more.

Damn; where the hell have you been all of my life. I didn't have to get no stinky leg; I could've been getting some Genman puss all this time. I'm not ever letting you go anywhere but my bed.

Everett resigned himself that he would for the next 30 days be John Waters sexual relief bitch. He wondered if the big man would feel the same way after he found out that he had impregnated him last night. It was either stay with John Waters or face the rest of the cellblock and become the hoe. For as the sex was concerned, he was rough but it was bearable.

A search of the database for all criminal activity and arrest did not turn up Everett Gomez. The GBI was at a loss so they started to scan the individual photos of individuals that had been through the courts or were awaiting trials.

Everett had used his dad's pre-name of Stiles instead of his father's name of Gomez so that he hoped he could avoid being found out by his parents, that he was in the city lockup for 30 days.

The kind officer that had brought their meals to the cell stopped by to check on everything. John; I hope that you don't think you can keep him in the cell for 24/7 folks already know what's going on with the two of you. For lunch you're going to have to come out to the mess hall, there's no doubt that you will be challenged because he is very cute, but come on he's a fag boy and a dime a dozen.

This one's mine, and I will share him with no one and if I'm challenged, I will fight to defend what is mine. Tell him boy you belong to me.

Everett barely squeaked as he spoke; I belong to John he is my master and I will please only him for as long as I am here. I will not take up with no others, so they had not need to try to challenge him.

Okay you two understand and I'll pass the word around the cellblock, remember some of the other officers aren't as courteous and relaxed as I am. They hate fags worse than they hate those freaks called Genmen. They'll break their necks and swear they slipped on a bar of soap in the shower. You two be careful, the little one is too pretty to have something happen to him.

Zach and Ben left the Z1 in the capable hands of Tim and Luther, they could handle the Z1 just fine by themselves and if they needed anything it was only a communicator buzz away. Rico and Rusty and the children were on board along with Franklin and Rocco for a much-deserved rest and relaxation how long they would be gone only time could tell but everyone would have a great time.

Over the next two weeks John kept Everett's vent very full field, and Everett kept Johns newfound taste for sweet Genmen nectar satisfied. One morning Everett got up not feeling the greatest and hit his knees in front of the toilet and threw up everything but his toenails. John was worried about his cellmate and asked if there was anything that he could do?

Maybe some crackers or dry toast, but other than that I just have to let the sickness run its course.

What you mean sickness what the hell is wrong with you Everett?

I can't hide it from you any longer, sometimes Genmen when they cross with the human suffer morning sickness. Other times it doesn't bother them but it's more prevalent when the genman is carrying more than one.

Oh okay, I'm glad it's nothing serious so what little morning sickness that happens to a lot of people? What the fuck did you just say?

You know morning sickness, when one carries a child sometimes their body has to get used to it.

A baby, you are pregnant why in the fuck haven't you told me about this I never would have laid with you by known you were pregnant? I could've hurt you or the child.

John; the child that I carry was given to me by you. I can't stop nature Genmen can conceive with the human at any time the human presents viable semen into the reproductive system.

Everett; you're telling me that we created this baby in my hearing you right?

Yes; the first time you took me there was a burning sensation that you laughed about it and said; I must have blown everything up inside with that load. That's when it happened, please don't be mad.

Everett; you don't understand I cannot protect you one hundred percent of the time you still have 15 days left on your sentence. I have to see Henry the guard and find out if he can help protect you and the baby.

John went to the bars at the front of the cell to see if he could get Henry's attention. He waved his arms out several times until Henry finally acknowledged that he would be on his way.

What is it Waters, you and you will cellmate have a disagreement about the way things should be decorated?

John humbled himself to the guard. Officer I need your help with Everett it's not safe for him here. I can only be with him so many hours a day when they mandatorily split us up. I need to inform you that he is with child.

Sure, he is and I'm the governor of the planet. Just because you been fucking the fag boy nonstop doesn't mean a damn thing.

No Sir Mr. Henry; it's not what you think. He is not normal he special and he has conceived a child due to my actions. He's had morning sickness all day long and is only kept Down crackers.

Henry looked at Everett. Boy what are you and speak the truth?

Sir, I am a pureblood and I am with child. Inmate Waters impregnated me and I now carry with in me a hybrid child.

That's impossible they did a physical exam on you to make sure you were put in the right category.

No Sir; I went from arrest to arraignment then was sent directly here with no medical exam. I can prove that I am genman if you wish for me to uncover my vent.

Fucking hell, administrations has screwed up again. Why in the hell didn't you tell me something or this?

After the first night the Harm had already been done. I didn't say anything for the fear of getting inmate Waters into trouble. I can stay in my cell for the duration of my time. I don't need special treatment just food.

You two keep it very quiet do not come out of your cell for anyone but me. I have got to inform the administrations and call medical to this block.

Ofc. Henry Davis went directly to the telephone system and called for medical report to section D cell three and wait on him. The next phone call he made was to administrations to inform them of the colossal fuck-up by everyone involved. This was a nightmare in the making for the uptown jail.

Medical arrived along with the warden to check out the story that had been reported by officer Henry Davis.

Warden was visibly shaken and very upset when he exited the cell. They had pureblood Genmen in the main population area, he had been placed in with a repeat offender and they had multiple relations with each other and according to medical he had been impregnated.

Warden contacted the magistrate on call and notified her of what had taken place. Not only had it been a rush to convict but the name was incorrect and he was a pure blood genman that had been placed by the magistrate that sentenced him into general population. And the cellmate had impregnated him. Had it not been for the cellmate worried about the safety of the pureblood and the child that he carried nobody would have ever been notified.

As soon as possible the name was corrected on the records the GBI search parameters for an M/P went off. This was a major fuck-up and heads would roll.

Everett was placed in the solitary confinement as was inmate John Waters.

Within the matter of an hour the central jail facility was crawling with Bureau agents. Tony Corday wanted questions answered, heads would roll because of this major fuck-up.

Stefano and Roderigo Gomez were notified that their son had been located but there was a situation that had developed and he was not available to be seen at that present time but they would be notified when he was available.

Stefano was pissed when the courts called him and demanded to know where his son was located.

He's been in central lockup for 16 days. There was an incident that has occurred but he is safe and as soon as we can clear up all the paperwork he will be released. That was directly from the warden himself.

The warden went to the solitary confinement talk to Everett.

Sir I need to make sure that John is okay, it's not his fault he didn't know what it was like to have sex with Genmen nor the ramifications of unprotected sex with my kind. Please do not blame him and put more time upon him.

I know sex between prisoners is not normally tolerated but this proves that it does happen and no one was forced. When a Genman's body finds the compatible mate, it will allow bonding of the two so he is just as much of the victim as anybody.

Inmate Waters is trouble there's no way around it. You are better off without him in your life your child is better off without him as a father.

Warden Guffey how can you say a child is better off without their biological father, maybe this child is just what he needs to become productive. He had never considered being a father but when he found out that I with child his first instinct was to protect us both. How can anyone be better off without their parent answered me that?

He has been in trouble his entire adult life, nothing major always small-time penny-ante stuff. Do you think a child will change him miraculously?

Warden do you think a child would not change him? I have been with him for over two weeks and he kept me safe when everybody else thought I was just a punk ass bitch that liked to get it in the ass. I showered with everyone else as he stood in the shower between them and me, keeping our secret and protecting me. Does that sound like someone who doesn't care about anyone else but themselves?

I will have to talk to the magistrate and see what she recommends for inmate Waters, as for you she is arranging release to your parents.

I am an adult I am 20 years of age so I don't have to be released to anyone but myself. I will wait for John to be released but only if I am allowed to speak with him first and you will be part of the conversation Sir that way there are witnesses.

Okay inmate Gomez I will serve as witness to your meeting with inmate Waters.

When the doors were opened up to the solitary sale that inmate John Waters was in and Everett walked inside Warden Guffey witnessed something that he didn't think was possible.

Everett walked up to John who circled his arms around him and hugged him tight. He gently kissed him on the cheek and asked if he and the baby were, okay? I didn't know where you were I didn't know if you're okay but it relieves my mind to see that you are okay.

Yes, John we are fine, my orders are being expedited for release. I don't know if the magistrate that's in charge of the double case right now will let you go early as time served but I have appealed to her.

John held Everett in his arms and let his hand travel down to his abdomen and gently rubbed the area. Are you sure he's okay, this is not been too stressful on you, has it?

No; I am fine, I'm two doors away here in solitary until my orders are processed. Because of possible retaliation by others, you have been placed here for protection. When word got out that you had a pure blood in your sale and had been having sex regularly it pissed-off a bunch of the convicts here in the central jail facility so they will keep you safe.

I'm not worried about me I'm just worried about you and the baby that you two get outta here safely.

Warden Guffey cleared his throat; you have my personal word on his safety. He will be relocated out of this entire area and a temporary sleeping arrangement will be made in the upper administration's office. I will take no chances that anything happens to him or that child you have my word on that. I just hope that magistrate don't dawdle around with her decision.

John thanked Warden Guffey for everything that he was doing within his power to protect Everett and the child. He turned to Everett, I don't know how much longer I'm going to be in here, I'm sure there's gonna be some kind of charges or something that comes my way from all of this but when I get out I won't to see you.

I will be waiting on you to finish up your time, and I am very confident that no additional charges will be brought down upon you by anyone. And if they do, they can expect a team of lawyers to descend upon them.

The warden's communicator went off it was his secretary; he had a call from Sen. Ralph Moreself and he was waiting to speak to the warden. Warden Guffey turned snow white and told the guard to watch the two of them and let them visit but do not leave them unattended for any reason. He rushed to the main office so that he could have a video conference with the Senator.

Sen. Moreself was very pleasant when he spoke to Warden Guffey, under his order both inmates should be released immediately. Furthermore because of the colossal fuck-up by an incompetent judge and judicial system compensations were going to have to be made to all parties involved. Ofc. Henry Davis was to receive an accommodation for his professionalism in the matter and for keeping the young man safe. There would be a promotion forthcoming in his future. Since there was 3rd assistant warden's position open it would be filled by officer Henry Davis. He would make sure that nothing like this ever happened again.

Warden Guffey thanked Sen. Moreself and assured him that his orders would be carried out immediately.

Warden I know that you have discretionary funds and they will be replenished not to worry. Before the two of them leave the custody and care of the city they will be issued a voucher card each with 250,000 credits on both cards. You will word it in a letter that this is to compensate them for any shortcomings and mistakes that the judicial system made and please get them to sign off that way it limits our liability to that and that alone. Please do your best to get them to sign because it could cost us all whole lot more if they wish to get technical because of the colossal fuck-up the judicial system made on Everett Gomez.

Yes, sir I will discuss this with the two of them in my office and present them with the voucher cards and let them decide Sir. I will do my best get them to sign off.

That's all we can hope for, we just want this chapter to be over and closed.

The warden went back to the isolation segregation section and had Ofc. Davis help escort inmate Gomez and inmate Waters to his office.

Gentlemen, please have a seat here at the conference table Ofc. Davis, please take a seat also. Everyone set down then the warden sat down. I have good news for all involved, Ofc. Davis due to your people skills and the way that you handle yourself in a situation you are being given a promotion. You job is to make sure something like this never happens again he will be taking over the third assistant warden's position here at the central lockup. You will have a secretary that will help you as every incoming detainee will be interviewed and medically assessed through your office before they are placed in any cellblock.

You could've knocked Henry Davis out of his chair with a feather he didn't know what to say other than thank you.

That brings me to you both, as of 10 minutes ago the both of you are free. We are severely sorry Mr. Gomez for any indignities that you suffered at the hands of the judicial system and its lacking to properly address everything. Mr. Waters you have a lifetime commitment and are sentenced to parenthood. Your record has been expunged and you can start your life over again only if you choose to make right and do right by your child. I have two voucher cards and I will tell you what they are. They are valued at 250,000 credits each and if you will sign a statement not to take the judicial system and the jail to court in a suit that could last for years their yours. With 500,000 credits to start out your life together it would set the both of you up well. Personally, it would take me 10 years to make that and that's before taxation. If it wasn't for the free housing that I get along with modest food allotments I would be at this job. I know what I would do but the final decision is up to you.

Everett smiled and looked at John. Warden if I had not been out that night I would not been in that club and I would not have been arrested true so part of the burden also falls upon my shoulders. The colossal fuck-up by the magistrate that was on duty in the rushed court arraignment that falls back on judicial fault. But I believe that with the 500,000 credits we will be able to live nicely. I just don't want my son to grow up in the city. I want to find a ranch that will accept us so that we can raise our child peacefully.

There was a knock at the door and Tony Corday the head of the GBI opened the door and entered the room. Sorry to interrupt your meeting warden but we feel that the GBI needs to watch out for the best interest of this party.

By all means Mr. Corday please come in I just explained them what has been offered as a restitution for the colossal failure of the judicial system here.

Yes, I heard I was monitoring it just like we do all conversations when something of this magnitude takes place. If they are willing to sign this agreement it is up to them. Young man you say that you do not want to raise the child in the city and you wish to raise him somewhere peaceful did I not hear you correctly.

Yes, sir you heard me correctly but it's also up to his father and what his father wishes for him and I think John needs to weigh in on the conversation.

All eyes were looking directly at John. I don't have a problem with it whatever you want to do. I will follow you anywhere you go, if you believe the best decision is to sign the affidavits and take the credits that would be fine to buy me except for one thing they all belong to you. I'm not asking for anything; I've got a new life and a new start and that's payment enough for me.

Well, that does sound promising but I have the perfect spot for the two of you to start out with the child. It's a place called the Z1 ranch ran by the Spinelli family. Zachariah Spinelli runs it along with his mate Ben Spinelli and their family. Right now, there two oldest sons are running it while their parents are gone on holiday but they are very competent individuals and I would trust it with no one but. Three of my top agents live at the Z1, and they have their own families. There's plenty of work to be done, all housing is furnished for families along with the food allotments. I could tell you a lot more but the introduction when you get to the Z1 would be best. Schooling is exemplary, medical is second to none and the libraries and universities and museums their own the ranch itself are fantastic. It's someplace you might want to check out.

Everett, I believe your parents are very anxious to meet you, when you went missing, they did an all-out campaign to find you. You were registered here under your father's pre-name for some reason they found a paper with that name on it and that's the reason you could not be located when it was corrected in the system everything went off for you. They know nothing about the baby, and I don't think it would do anyone any good to tell them that it was conceived in jail. You can create your own story that the two you met you conceived the child in the backseat of a car that was left open, you both were arrested for trespassing. It's up to you, but let's not put a dark spot on anything that way your parents dislike John.

Everett looked at John, we met at the nightclub went out to the parking lot, found a door open and got busy in the backseat that sounds a lot better than you were conceived on the bottom bunk at the central jail.

Whatever you want to tell them I'll back you up, but you know were both arrested for vagrancy and neither one of us had enough money to pay bail so we got 30 days. Embarrassed to call your parents so you decide to set it out in jail since we were both together.

My parents are going to kill me, I disappear I leave am worried and I'm pregnant, all because you did not use the genman condom you went cheap and used a regular human condom.

Well, it sounds like we're getting our story together, so you are you going to sign off or do we drag this out in court that's all you have to decide?

Everett reached for the paperwork slid one copy to John and he took the other and they both signed their names.

Warden Guffey handed the two cards containing the sum of 250,000 credits each to Everett and wished the two of them the best in life. The meeting included and Tony Corday escorted the two of them to the front gates. There was a vehicle there waiting for them and it would take them to a clothing store for they could both pick up fresh clothing.

After they had changed into new clothing the driver carried the both of them to the Gomez family home. Stefano and Roderigo were overjoyed to see their son, but who was the gentleman with him, and why were they holding hands?

Everett hugged his father then his dad, I'm so sorry. I really screwed up big time and I panicked.

Before we get started father, dad I would like for you to meet John Waters. We met at the club and that's where everything started. I won't go into a lot of detail but we borrowed somebody's car or at least the backseat of their car. And I hope you're ready for grandchildren because the condom ruptured.

I don't understand how in the hell did you land up in jail?

I didn't have my ID with dad, at least not my right ID. I've been sneaking into clubs for several years now and I used one under Everett Stiles and that's the name that I was booked under. John had his ID but since we were using someone's car without permission even though it didn't go anywhere, they got is for B&E of the speeder. And then it went downhill from there. John and I were placed in the same cell so he protected me. I never should've been in general population because of what I am. But John never let anyone get near me.

Nobody but him, so are you sure that you're with?

Yes, sir very sure all the way down to the morning sickness. I didn't even let John know about the baby until the morning sickness hit. We used a condom but it broke he figured with spermicide condom had only that was okay. We were each other's first, I was his first Genmen and he was my first anyone. It's my fault, had I not been there I would never met John he would not have fell for me.

But there something that you two need to know, I will not raise this child in the city so that he has to hide who he is and what he is. And I don't feel that it's fair to the child that you're carrying dad to put him through the same thing that I lived through.

We're going to relocate to the Z1 ranch, I have been reading on it and John can get a job there at the ranch and so I can relax until the baby comes. They have housing, food allotments, clothing allotments, they sale the nectar at fantastic prices and all of it goes on a voucher card so that the money can be spent anywhere when it's needed. John's income from his job will also go on the same voucher card. It has a school, a medical facility, a library, a museum and a university. We are going to look at it, you're welcome to come along but that is up to the two of you.

Stefano looked at his mate, Roderigo I do not care what you think at this point in our lives. We must go beyond what we think and consider the child that you are going to birth soon, Everett is correct we need to go with him and his chosen one to check out this place. I have been reading also without your knowledge and I believe that it's worth the effort it requires to go there.

Whatever you think Stefano, and the sooner we get there the better off we will be because this child isn't going to wait forever. You know sometimes the second one's, little early especially when it's been almost 4 Celebrations ago since I birthed.

Start packing your suitcase when we get home, we are going on holiday trip to the Z1 to check everything out. Everett you and John get to lead the way we will follow.

Zach was relaxing when his communicator went off, Ben growled at him but he answered it anyway. This is Zach how can I help you?

My old friend Zach how are you doing Tony Corday here and I need the Z's assistance with something. I've called for Kevin Hollis to report to the space docks to pick up a package and bring it to the Z1. Your place is the only location with expertise handling stasis pods.

Zach set up in the chair; did you say a stasis pod? You have a stasis pod in your possession is the cryo- system still working?

Yes, it is but we don't know for how long. It was brought into the spaceport in a shuttle pod. Can you meet the stasis pod Sir?

Tony I am at the oceanfront with my family and guest but Tim is in charge of the main operations and Luther is second in command while we are gone.

Tim's perfect for this, let me give you a rundown of what we've got on the occupant. He is a research biologist that was placed in cryogenics 450 years ago. And before you pass out, I said 450 years. His name was listed as Jonathan Argola from a place called Houston Texas, he was a member of NASA and The Space Force. He is also infected with the RMG-1 Virus. But that's a simple inoculation now, back when he was floating around in space it wasn't that's what wiped out most of the earth's inhabitants. Hell, it's the reason the first settlers made it here, they were inoculated and sent here when the cure was found.

You're telling me that he still has an active case of the virus?

Yes, Zach I am, but use a sterile room with precautions given, introduce the anti-virus and 24 hours later he's clear.

Tony; give the medical staff that you need out there all of the information and notify Tim that he's coming in. Tell him I said; handle it just like we were there it's all up to him.

Jonathan Argola was a normal participant in the space programs, 6 foot and 165 pounds 28 years of age, he was about normal. He worked his butt off studying for the program just like everyone else when the plague broke out. He was on a long-term deep space flight to Mars Observatory when a few crewmembers began to fall ill. Nothing could really be done because they were in a contained area using rebreathers and barely adequate ventilation systems. Most of the staff that were awakened were infected immediately as he was.

Communications between the earth and the ship were spotty at best. Mars was put off limits because the colonists there were clear of the plague. They could only go back into isolation pods and go into cryogenic deep sleep. The Pegasus 7 was placed in a deep space trajectory. There was a beacon that was set to notify anyone coming up on the ship that it was infected with the RMG-1 plague virus.

Jonathan recorded a short message and send it to his loved ones back home. He took his place in his pod and push the sequence for the cryo- chambers to begin the process of deep freezing his body until someone with a cure finally run up on the ship.

Jonathan had no idea that the Royal attack force would blow the Pegasus 7 out of orbit as they used it for target practice. After all it was an old earth ship that showed age and no life signs. 450 souls were on board and his pod was the only one to be ejected and floated through space until he was picked up by a freighter headed to Solaris 10.

The freighter's engineer plugged into the data port of the pod and realized what they were dealing with. He notified the spaceport that they had a hot one coming in.

As Tony Corday explained to Tim what the situation was, he set there in shock.

All of the doctors at the clinic were equally shocked at the mere mention of the RMG-1 on board the pod. They had read about the disease and studied the aftereffects on the old earth planet in the human population. Here was the first time that a first liner as they were called would be allowed to be studied. They were very aware that he was still a human being and had rights but following his progression after the antidotes were administered would be exciting for all of them to watch and monitor.

Rupert was very concerned about the condition physically of the inhabitant that was contained in the cryogenic tube. Mental was one thing but physically he would have to have rehabilitation from such a long confinement.

Tim called Madison to the office so that he could get his take on the situation that was going to present itself to the Z1.

Madison showed up and asked Tim how could he help him?

Madison let me ask you one thing, when you were first awoken after 107 years in stasis what was it like for you to meet the people on this planet?

Honestly, I was scared shitless, I know I'm not a little dude by any means but some of the purebloods and humans dwarf me. This was the first time that I ever put my foot down on soil and I wasn't sure if it was for real. Why do you ask Tim?

We have a human that is in a cryo- tube after his stasis pod was ejected when the ship that was transporting him was attacked. He's never seen this before.

What you mean he's never seen this before? Where the hell's he been at?

His cryotube is 450 years old Madison, he doesn't know about Solaris 10, he doesn't know about the Royals, Genmen or even the Goran. He comes from my time before first contact was made with earth.

So, you're saying if he sees a pregnant Genman walk by, he's gonna lose his mind?

He could; but I hope he doesn't we need to help educate and guide him because he is in a whole new world and we only get one time to make a great impression.

So, he missed out on the cure, the war to end it all, and the mass exodus from Earth and the moon?

He's been a Popsicle for that long yes, so it's my place to introduce him to us here at the Z1. He's not ready for the city, so the GBI is sending him here. First, we have to get him cured of the RMG-1 virus and do some physical rehab on him.

Have you seen him yet, at least picture maybe?

Yes, and he looks like a normal human. 6-foot thin build, according to his photographs and data sheet he was in good health.

If he sounds like that, you're going to have trouble, there's going to be plenty of Genmen ready to put their vent on the line to welcome him here.

That exactly what I'm worried about. I'm drafting up a communication to the entire ranch, be cordial, be courteous and friendly but not too friendly in a sexual way. Did I leave anything out?

You do realize there are going to be gawkers, they have never seen a human from the pre-plague era. I would put him up at my location, but let's face it I've got kids falling out of every doorframe. Let's just see what kind of person he is first, to figure out what kind of host he will need. That's my suggestion.

In a very good suggestion Madison, looks like our guest will be arriving in about 10 minutes, let's go ahead and head to the infirmary to see what we need to do.

Tim and Madison arrived at the clinic and met up with Rupert and Matt Stirling.

They had already started to flood the cryo- chamber with the RMG-1 Antiviral gases so when it arrived at the Z1 the detoxification will already be started. It was standard protocol to keep the planet clean. The RMG-1 virus killed so many on earth, it attacked the human race and within days the entire ethnic group was eliminated. If you even had one drop of Negroid blood in your lineage there was no hope. It spared the Caucasoid and Mongoloid races, but the Negroid race was eliminated. Nobody knew where it came from or how it arrived on earth but it was deadly.

Earth had never dealt with anything of this magnitude, and it was horrible. Even though Mongoloid and Caucasoid races were infected, they built a natural immunity to the virus, that they could carry it but not die from it. Some blamed diseases like sickle-cell that only affected Pure Negroid or Negroid mixed-races in the humans for the termination of entire race.

Monuments were built education centers were opened so that no one would ever forget that an entire race had been eradicated due to a simple virus. Some blamed government scientist, Rogue Countries others blamed warmongers looking for an easier way to kill out their enemies. Whoever or whatever caused the virus to attack was never found out. It took 220 years to finally come up with a cure for the rapidly altering virus, other words known as a retrovirus. It had so many different levels of infection it was unbelievable. Just when they thought they had to cure ready it mutated, much like the SARS-2 virus in the early 21st century. Millions of people died during that era but like everything else they found an enzyme, isolated it then they were able to defeat it. So many so-called vaccines were administered by governments in a haste to defeat it that they killed even more people with the side effects.

Jonathan had made it through the first steps of the administering of the antiviral compound, had he been of mixed races he would've died immediately. All looked good when he arrived at the isolation systems ward at the infirmary clinic. Matt and Rupert went to work on him immediately as Tim and Madison stood by waiting patiently.

After more than an hour of resetting vitals and pumping fresh oxygen into the stasis pod, they slowly brought his body back to normal temperature. Jonathan Argola slowly started to become aware that there were people outside of his pod. He broke into a moment of panic as he tried to tell them to stop what they were doing.

Matt reached up and hit the intercom system that had been tied into the pod's system. Good day sir; I'm going to ask you to settle down and listen to me. Your stasis pod is here in our clinic and you are slowly being brought out of your hibernation. I can assure you we are very aware of your status. Just to let you know while you were still sleeping, we pumped a gas into your pod and let it filter to your body.

The gas that we put into your system had an antiviral compound which eradicated the RMG-1 virus which your body contained. Do you understand what I'm telling you Mr. Argola?

Jonathan shook his head yes; his throat was dry and he was not capable of speaking at the present.

Good; my name is Matt I am your doctor along with me assisting is Dr. Rupert. We have a couple of visitors here waiting for you to disembark when your stasis pod is ready. They will welcome you here to Solaris-10 where you have been brought. There is a lot of questions I'm sure that you need answered and as soon as were out of the danger zone and we have some food in your system not it's going to be liquid diet for the first few days due to your stay in stasis.

Do you know anything about the Pegasus 2 and why your emergency shuttle pod was jettisoned?

Jonathan shook his head yes, then he made a gesture with his hands like something was blowing up.

Okay; you were the only survivor that we are aware of, your pod was picked up floating in the Valarian System. You were put in the cargo hull of a transport that was headed here to Solaris-10. When they arrived your stasis pod was immediately flooded with the gaseous compound to eradicate the RMG-1 virus before you were brought to the planet surface. You are in the Solarian system of planets and this is the only Class-M here. You are very lucky that someone else didn't pick you up and use you as a bargaining chip. But from the looks of it they had used your shuttle pod as target practice several times.

Matt filled in medically as much information as he dared to Jonathan saving the big surprises for when he was freed from his stasis pod.

Another hour passed by and his core temperature was up to 98.6 so he had thoroughly warmed and Matt decided that it was best to go ahead and bring him out into the atmosphere of the room.

Okay boys last chance, I'm fixing to pop the lid on this case and anything that's in there with him is out here with us if you don't feel safe, you're welcome to leave at this point other than that were here for the long haul. Rupert, we need some warmed nourishment for Mr. Argola, I think a nice cup of fresh warm nectar is in order especially by one that is suckling.

Rupert squinted his eyes at Matt, if looks could kill he would be dead. But left the room and went to the decontamination section and changed before he left out. It would take him a few minutes but he would make sure and have two mugs of nice fresh warm nectar for the man. After all Jonathan Argola was very nice-looking, lean muscular swimmers build with just the right amount of body hair to accent a human's defined body.

10 minutes later Rupert returned carrying two mugs of fresh nectar. This would definitely give the young man an advantage after so many years in the pod.

Tim and Madison helped unlock the cryo- chamber, they lifted the heavy top off of the unit and everyone got their first real look at the dashing young man inside. The outfits that they had them sleeping back in the day were very flimsy and left nothing to the imagination. This was not wasted on Madison at all.

Slowly Tim and Madison helped Matt tilt stasis chamber to a semi-standing position. It was in a position where Jonathan could get used to the weight of his body but not the overbearing on his muscles from being unused for so many years.

Rupert was right there with the first mug of warm nectar and encouraged Jonathan to take a sip. Slowly the man sipped a little bit of the nectar, when the taste hit his tongue and throat it was like an electrical jolt through his body. And like most humans when they first taste nectar they try to drink it all in one fell swoop.

No; drink it slowly or I will have to cut the straw off. You need to take small sips and get your body used to taking nutrients are you will throw it all back up and this stuff is too expensive to waste I worked hard making it.

Matt snickered as he knew the truth of the matter, and in a way, Rupert did work hard to make that nectar, after all with a youngling at home nursing all the time it took a lot out of Rupert.

Jonathan thanked for the source of nourishment and slowly tried to regain his voice.

You behave cautioned him; stay where you are and slowly sip this nourishment. When you get through the 1st cup then I will get you the second one but you need to take it slow. I know it's so damn good tasting but still calm down there's more where that comes from and if I know everyone around here you will have as much as you need.

Matt decided to get down to business; the compound that you're consuming is a highly nutritional liquid food source. It will help your body bounce back to his once from the looks of it pristine state. Right now, you cannot walk because you have been in stasis for too long of a period.

How long sleep time Jonathan asked?

Matt was contemplating what to say when Rupert decided to rip the Band-Aid right off. I don't mean to startle you are upset you at all but you were in that pod for 450 years Sir. Everything you know is no longer it is a new world out here; you live in a new place now in a new time. You will see things that amaze you, and some that might disgust you. But whatever it is this is the best you got.

Matt, Tim and Madison stood there with their mouths open after Rupert just blurted it out. Well why beat around the bush about it rip the Band-Aid off and get it going he's gotta know it's not the same world he went to sleep in he is 478 years old, and I don't mind saying damn good-looking for his age.

The last statement about his age and good-looking caused Jonathan to blush a little.

Well; you still have a sense of humor after all those years frozen like a vanilla popsicle. You're going to fit in here at the Z1 just fine I do believe.

What is Z1 mean? His voice was still shaky as he attempted to speak.

This was Tim's territory; my name is Tim Spinelli my family owns what is called the Z1 ranch here on Solaris 10 we serve as a refuge for individuals that don't quite fit into society yet. We have a sister ranch next door by the name of the Hawthorne ranch owned by Ed and Carter Hawthorne from Hawthorne industries. And we have a lot of smaller satellite farms and ranches across the planet. We are a rural area but we serve as a central hub for all those that we serve. We have construction, vegetation cultivation and some light industry here at the Z1. We have a historical Museum that's part of the interactive display, my father's prize possession his library of recorded events books and memorabilia. We are home to an excellent school for the children and we just opened up Z University.

And I almost forgot the best part we have a cutting-edge medical program for all of those in need not just the select few. We are three hours on the average from the largest city but that's the world into itself. Every trouble that old earth had, the city keeps fresh and current. Here we don't know poverty, homelessness, hunger, lack of medical or anything else that the outside human world knows.

As Tim spoke Jonathan was already started on the second mug of warm nectar. This was the best drink he had ever tasted in his entire life. He had to get the recipe for this one because this was going to be his main thirst quencher.

If he only knew what he was consuming he probably wouldn't have thought that, and again maybe he would.

Matt checked all of Jonathan's vitals and decided it was safe since he had finished his 2nd cup of nectar that Tim and Madison could help the man out of the pod so that he could stand up with them supporting him. He needed a little dignity and feeling that he was in control of his body was the best way to show it.

Tim and Madison helped stabilize Jonathan and slowly eased him out of the cryo- pod, he was still very shaky so both of the guys held onto him firmly he had his arms draped around their necks and both held him at his waist to try to help stabilize. There was a loud audible pop when Madison looked up almost in horror.

Tim looked at Madison did you just you know what?

A very embarrassed Madison shook his head up and down, it's not that time I don't know what in the hell happened but yes, I just popped my vent.

Let's get him sit down in a chair and you can go check yourself then come back but don't touch him.

A confused Jonathan did not know what anybody was talking about and just brushed it off.

Madison left the room in a hurry trying to make it to the nearest facility that was open. By the time he got the door locked he was drenched. His vent was pouring slick, he didn't do this during transition what the fuck was wrong?

About 10 minutes later a very embarrassed Madison came back into the room wearing a different pair of bottoms. He had to borrow a shield from one of the clerks and a pair of scrub bottoms from the linen closet. His pants and underwear were soaked with pure slimy slick.

He asked Tim to speak privately, I'm not in cycle Tim if that's what you think I've still got two months left but when his skin touched mine, I exploded I don't know what in the hell happened?

Rupert came over to check on Madison who was blushing profusely. It will get better, the gases that were pumped into the system to eradicate the virus must have brought his own pheromones out. You just reacted to his pheromones is all, is nothing sexual on his part but if he asked you would bend over that's just because you're a human Goran cross. Something about his chemistry activated you. Be careful when you go home, we don't you getting knocked up. Then Rupert chuckled, yeah Zach, he really would have a rackknar of his own, if he come home and found you all swollen up.

Go to hell Rupert, that is off limits for everyone.

Rupert slapped Madison on the shoulder told him not to take it seriously.

Doc I don't mean to be a pain but how long do I have to stay in this boring atmosphere? I mean it's white it's clean and it's sterile. That just says it's boring.

Let me work on something along with my colleague here and we can try to get you put in another area with security locking. It's nothing to do with you we just want to keep you safe so that only medical staff and a select few have access.

There are people that have never seen an earth born human especially one from the plague era. Some people might be curious others might be dangerous toward you because of the unknown. And we do not want you getting hurt at all. So, you keep your seat and Tim will keep you company, we will be back in little while.

Matt and Rupert Sterling left the room to make a decision on where Jonathan should be housed as he recovered.

Jonathan looked around at Tim and Madison as they set there on pins and needles. Okay guys I know there's something up here. This isn't my first rodeo and is not the first time that I will be surprised but where the hell exactly are we at because there something off about this place.

Tim looked at Jonathan and responded; what do you mean by all about this place?

There are no females around here, all I've seen is males what am I living on now a world full of men? What are you a bunch of clones?

Madison started to laugh; definitely not clones that's for sure even though some do resemble because of their parent's closeness, but no interbreeding.

You seem like you're intelligent enough to comprehend what I'm about to tell you remarked Tim. I have some information about the Z1 facility that we can look at and I can explain everything and then there's a lot more that you need to witness for yourself.

Here on Solaris-10 there are two distinctly different humanoid races and a couple minor players on the side. Matt is pure human, mother - father everything just like every human should be then there's Dr. Rupert he is a Genman he is a humanoid race but he is very different in the way that he is built.

Like how do antennas come out of his head brings thinking or something?

No Jonathan, but I do want you to keep an open mind when you start hearing everything. Genmen were from a different solar system and they were created through selective breeding programs there are different classes of them. They are male and females in the race yet both can reproduce children.

Both can do what did you say?

I knew that would throw you for a loop, both male and female have reproductive organs but the males carried two sets. When there's not enough females produce offspring, the males submit to carry children for other males.

They were designed this way by the original breeder's who sought a way to increase a slave labor force. The original race was the Goran race and through Genetic Manipulation with captives they created the genman race. Goran DNA was mixed with a second DNA and the product was genman.

Over 50 years ago a cargo transport crashed here there in ionization storm, the survivors of that ship were marooned here. 98% were male and only 2% were female. The females were the ruling class and they did not take kindly to being overpopulated by the males.

Well hell have you ever heard of a female that like to take orders from a male. I got no problem with females but most the time their pigheaded bitches. Take two guys and we can get something done put a female in between the two of them and you got a holy fuck up.

Tim chuckled as did Madison. To survive after we realize that we were free and no longer in the constraints of the ruling Royal families we scattered on the continents only to be brought back together because the humans that inhabited the planet did not take kindly to a pregnant man. The gays had no problem because they could have children when they bred with us.

We have two different types of hybrids; a human hybrid is usually a Genman and a female human that produce a child. The child has the body of a standard human but can produce the by reproductive offspring like its original parent. Then you have your Genmen hybrid which even though his 50% of each parent is 99.99% always male and has the dual reproductive body of the genman parent.

Okay let me catch up with that, it's going take a little while but how did everybody get so buff and built? Genmen are genetically enhanced to be more robust strong frames, rapid healing and resistant to most all human diseases except heartache.

Tim, I don't mean to be rude but exactly what the hell are you and Madison?

I am a Genman hybrid, my biological father was human and my birthing dad was genman. Madison over here is a creature of a different light.

Creature really, you call me a creature okay I'm going to remember that the next time I see a pothole in your big asses sit in the passenger seat. All jokes aside Jonathan I was not born here on this planet I like you spent time in an isolation pod frozen waiting to start a new life.

I was born on an orbiter that served as a supply depot until it was attacked by the Royal defense force. We traveled hundred and 180 light-years as excess baggage and tell my father decided this planet was good enough. He was from old earth like my grandfather and spent most of his time in the mechanical section working and keeping the orbiter up straight. My grandfather was a deep space pilot and was gone quite a bit according to my dad and my granddad, they fell in love and look at me I'm the result. Now Granddad was something of a different enigma, far as we know he was one of the only surviving Goran's to escape the royalty's hatred.

The royalty hated their original creator so bad that they put a bounty on them and hunted them down like rackknars. If you were found you were killed immediately no questions asked. Just like the orbiter when it was attacked. My dad hid us out the both safe but I look through the cracks in the module where we were located and I saw enough death and destruction to last a lifetime. So, I am a Goran human hybrid, I react differently than normal hybrids that are Genmen bred. But I have both reproductive sets just like a Genmen. One Genmen here not to be named, Tim that's his name that is the other half breed in this room. Madison smirked.

Jonathan set there silent did not say a word, he was considering what his next option was. You said that you have some information that we can view do you mind me any of this information?

Sure, I grabbed father's private album, if he knew I took this out of the reading room I would be skinned alive. You should've seen me trying to sneak it by Jarvis, I still thinking you because that man knows everything cannot keep anything from him.

What is a Jarvis May I ask?

He runs the main house, between him and his grandson Franklin they keep the place spotless everything in order and several little hybrids under control. I have a half-brother that is less than one celebration old and he is a little shithead. But he does not challenge Jarvis because he does not like walking with a pillow tied to his butt.

You mean Jarvis will tear his little ass up?

Don't you know it, I was a little snot at times but a couple of good rounds of his butt tanning and I straightened up. Now before you get carried away, I do not look like either of my parents because I was adopted by Mr. Zach who I call father, Ben is my adopted dad.

For the next two hours Jonathan was thoroughly engrossed in the album of the Z1, it showed everything from way back even when Zach was a child, there were photos of Zach and Ben when they were young and when they were on their house there were still photos of them together.

Jonathan yawned; damn you think after all the sleeping I did; I wouldn't be tired but I am getting that way.

Not a moment too soon Matt and Rupert returned only this time Rupert was on daddy duty. I'm sorry somebody was cranky and would not go back to sleep after he had his supper so if you don't mind little Matthew needed some time with his parents.

You mean you two guys that little bundle of joy?

I'm afraid so, only about a month old but hybrids tend to grow rapidly just like Genmen. I see that Tim has filled you in on a lot of information but there's still a lot to learn.

It's been very long since I've even seen a child this young, we blasted off from Earth on our trip to the outer rings none of us knew we would ever see another living soul especially after virus broke out.

Rupert walked up and set beside Jonathan and help the baby close enough that he could touch the child. This was the best kind of therapy, hands-on.

I still have a hard time understanding the full way things can happen but I think that I need to learn a lot about my host. But I'm getting tired is there somewhere that I can lay down that's not near that piece of metal.

Matt walked up; we have a place all set out for you over in the next building. I hope you don't mind the way the room is decorated between Mr. Ben and Mr. Zach they took great care in decorating certain aspects of the ranch so that when first meetings occur, they can make the new couple feel relaxed so everything goes smoothly. You are perfectly safe there and you will be monitored. Only medical staff which is Rupert and myself along with Tim can enter this room after we lock it off.

I will be on night duty in case you need something in a personal nature way. I'm sure that the drink that you had early today will let itself be known bright and early tomorrow morning if you know what I mean? You will start the day out with a very nutritious meal brought to you by Tim. Donnie already has a completely new of everything that was consumed normally for human meals during your time and he will do his best to replicate any five-star restaurant.

Tim if you don't mind if we can get him placed in a wheelchair, we can wheel him over to his room. He will be taking the old West suite.

Sounds great, wide-open stars on the Mesa, rustic surroundings even occasional owl maybe even a coyote.

Sounds like y'all thought of everything?

Yes; here at the Z1 we try, because here you are with family.

Coming soon the Z1 ranch P -- 92
