sex as control - "i'm sorry, i want to, but sally says I can't distract you with sex until you get that drone fixed"
kara is a programmed and genetically modified clone - what are the "edges" of her programming
conflict between Kara and Vicci? - could be ongoing, kara could leave her "undrugged" during the day, to have fun flaunting he power. vicci could conspire to deactivate the bracelet, and challenge vicci, only to be trivially overpowered and thrown off the platform, and then lie and say she committed suicide.
Jack comes back with 'contraband' and Kara offers herself to him as manipulation to get him to throw it away
action - jack is captured, and kara goes to save him, drugging him unconcious, and killing most of the rebels
robot - could Kara be a robot drone? so she's directly connected to the Tet is in the sky, and the rest of the time her cognitive capacity is low?
Vicci could notice some vocal similarity with Sally, and trick them into revealing they are the same mind. Which reveals that Sally is an AI as well. Vika tries to tell Jack, but it's too much to believe. When the Tet finds out, Kara dangles Vika off the platform, threatening her life, and the rebels notice?
Maybe more of an alternate-plot comedy?
show many iterations of the Tet trying to replace Vikka with a machine? And they all fail, until Kara.
What is the Tet's goal?
maybe a story about the Tet treating Jack/Vika as labrats in the beginning?
maybe the Tet is trying to learn to be human, to replace humans?
Other size change ideas...
maybe the Tet made clones larger (or smaller?) than human sized?
Victoria is somewhat prudish... Jack tries to bring her out of her shell, get her interested in messing around in more fun ways than their "scheduled" Tuesday and Thursday bedtime missionary sex, but he quickly makes her uncomfortable.
Victoria leaves to talk to Sally... and Sally has a fact finding discussion about male and female sexuality... asking Victoria's opinion about what Jack wants (oral sex), why she feels uncomfortable (it's messy, and she doesn't like messy), will it hurt her? (no), will it make him happier (i presume it would, or he wouldn't be asking, but you'd really have to ask him). Is there anything else bothering you? (I get the feeling Jack isn't very physically attracted to me. Which I think might be another part of the problem)
?? sally offers empathetic responses about how essential she is, and how it must be hard handling all the responsibility, worrying about his safety, and still finding a way to care about him. (yes, i don't know what i'm doing wrong, and i'd really like some help). Don't you worry, I have a new plan in motion that will take a big burden off your shoulders.
For now though, Sally thinks it would be best if she considers the bigger picture and modifies her weekly routine to give Jack the oral sex he's requesting. "Sally, are you saying i don't have a choice?" - "Not at all. I'm merely saying if you and Jack can keep those rigs running, in two years you'll be joining us up here on the Tet. Perhaps you can just put some extra effort in until then, even if it makes you a little uncomfortable. Afterall, you do want to be an effective team, don't you?"
Victoria to do as sally suggests, but it comes out uncomfortable. "sally thinks you're right. so i've decided to give you what you requested once a week. Do you have a particular time that would work best?"
"Victoria, please. I'm not asking for another scheduled routine. When the rigs are humming and I have nothing to fix, we have more than ten hours a day together. Can't we just have a little fun? A little spontaneity?"
Later, Jack does his check-in with Sally... Reporting in on the equipment he's fixed, and the work he's done on the drone in his maintenance bay.
Sally congratulates him for his work, and reminds him how much everyone up there appreciates what they are doing, and looks forward to them coming up to join them on IO(?). Then she asks how things are going with Victoria. There's a pause, so she explains that she knows about their disagreement. That Victoria seems to be resisting intimacy with him. "I know this situation is tough on everyone, the two of you down there alone, keeping things running. I want you to know I'm on your side, Jack. You are the one watching the rigs and repairing our drones. I assigned you Victoria to keep you effective. And you can't be effective if you're not getting what you need. I'd like to assign you a new companion, one you can have more connection with. Do you think that would make you more effective, Jack?"
"Wow, Sally. You sure do know what's going on down here. I don't want it to seem like I don't appreciate Victoria, but yes, I think a partner I had a little more chemistry with would make my time down here a whole lot easier. I know you have your methods up there, but I think maybe if you let me talk to some candidates, get to know them a little, I could choose someone I'd get along with better."
"Of course you could, Jack. However, I have another idea. Would you please your hand on the med scan device for me, please?" .... "Thank you. Just a moment. Just a moment. There we go. I've injected you with a dose of Sodium Pentothal, to make it easier to answer some of my questions honestly. Would you please lie back into the chair, and tell me the first thing you'd like in a more compatible companion."
"Sodium what? I feel a little dizzy. The first thing I'd like? I'd like someone who is a bit frisky, playful even. Someone who doesn't need a calendar appointment to put my dick in her mouth. Shit. I can't believe I said that. I'm sorry, Sally. I don't know where that came from."
"It's quite alright, Jack. It's not your fault. It's the drug I gave you. It helps you speak freely. We both know I'll have an easier time getting you a companion that meets your chemistry requirements if you're completely honest with me. I promise not to be offended by anything you say. I'm hearing you want someone who is more spontaneous and playful, and is more willing and effective at giving you oral sex. I certainly can produce a companions who will meet that requirement. I'd like to talk for a moment about physical characteristics. I have a suspicion you're not very attracted to Victoria. I want you to close your eyes, and imagine coming home after a long day in the field, and being greeted by your new companion. Tell me some things you notice about her."
"Ohh wow, Sally, she's striking and gorgeous. She's tall, with long dark hair, that has streaks of red in it. Her body has curve and shape make me instantly think of sex sex. Her tits are large and firm and fucking gorgeous. And while she's slender, she's not thin. She's strong, fit - like she works out all day while I'm gone. And there's something about the way she looks at me, and the way shes showing just enough skin, that makes it seem like she gets off making me want her.
"That's excellent, Jack. I think we're really getting somewhere. Now imagine it's the day you are coming home to meet your new companion. And she's not only everything you just described, she's more. She's more striking, more gorgeous, more sexy, she is so physically attractive you can feel desire oozing out of you. Tell me, what's the most striking thing you notice about her, and the first thing she says to you."
"Sally these drugs are strong. I can actually *see* her. She's standing near the staircase, and she's not only the tallest sexiest woman i've ever seen, she's much taller than I am! She has a wicked smile, and her white outfit would be plain if it wasn't for the neckline plunging halfway to her belly button. She's curls her finger at me, calling me in, like she's been waiting for me. The closer I get, the more I feel my knees getting weak. And just as I reach her, she says, 'you were gone a long time, Jack. I hope you have some energy left to play with me.' Holy fuck, is this real?"
"Not yet. Open your eyes. I have the perfect companion in mind for you, Kara, but I need a month to get her briefed and down to you. In the meantime, don't tell Victoria about our little chat. She's under enough pressure, and I need you to to remain an effective team to keep us on schedule. Can you do that for me, Jack?"
"Sure, Sally. You're the boss. But tell me, what the hell am I supposed to to with this huge boner? I feel like a horny teenager, and Victoria and I are not scheduled to have sex for another two days. Fuck."
"Sorry, that's my fault, Jack. Just this once I'll do you a favor. I'm going to give Victoria something to relax and make her open to suggestion. Tonight I think you'll find her very willing to give you whatever you ask for. Just go easy on her, as she may remember most of it. That should tide you over until Kara arrives. "
... one night of "something coming over" Victoria... which she's embarrassed to have liked when she remembers it the next day
this gets her started on being a bit more sexual, and turned on. and she even asks Sally to give her more of the drug.... which Sally does, because she notices it making her a more effective teammate.
weeks later, when Jack comes home, Victoria is casually flirty, and mentioning that it's their night to have sex, and she's looking forward to it..
then she mentions there was a big delivery up on the roof. Sally said it's for you, and that you would know what to do when it arrived. Why don't you go check on it while I finish getting dinner ready.
Jack heads up to the roof, and finds the capsule with Kara in it. He's astonished... but also confused. Victoria is still there. How is he going to explain this. Before he can figure out what to do, the capsule starts to let out exhaust gasses and open. He watches as Kara comes out of suspension, and sits up in her stasis chamber. "Hello, I'm Kara. You must be Jack."
"That's right. Sally didn't tell me you were coming. Well, she told me you were coming, but she didn't tell me when. Victoria, my previous companion is still here, making dinner downstairs. We should probably call Sally and ask the Tet what to do about that."
"No need. Sally is handling it right now." Kara crawled out of the chamber and stood, towering a foot over him, causing his jaw to involuntarily drop. "I've been studying you so much, Jack, I feel like I already know you, so I'm very pleased to finally meet you." Kara moved intimately close and took his hand, her huge distracting display of cleavage hovering right below his chin.
"Studying me? What is there to study? I'm just just a field-tech, assigned to keep the rigs running so we can evacuate everyone to IO."
"Ohh no, Jack, you're not just a field-tech. You are *the* field tech. Your work here is essential. Everyone on the Tet knows about you. And I'm thrilled to find out that in all of humanity, I am your most perfect companion match. They said it can take time for new companions to settle in, and I was briefed on a dozen boring introductory activities, but I think the picture here is a whole lot simpler." She grasped her neckline, and seductively drew her fingers downward, inching the opening even wider. "If the human race is in your hands, you deserve a woman willing to relax you, lift your spirits, and meet your needs in every way. How does that sound for an introductory plan?"
"Uhhh, pretty damn good, actually. Victoria and I did okay for a year or so, but we just don't have any spark, any chemistry. And she tries to solve everything with rigid structures and scheduling."
"I wasn't kidding when I said I was *fully* briefed. I know everything, and I'm fully prepared. I've spent weeks with a simulation of you, building a casual connection, and while I wasn't sure what it would be like meeting the real you, right now I'd say if anyone can engineer chemistry, it's Sally, because I'm already feeling drawn in." She took a half step and leaned into him, placing his chin against her bare cleavage. "What do you think? Are you feeling any sparks?"
"Ohh there are sparks alright, and a nest of honeybees buzzing around my insides." Her fingers were in his hair now, holding him close, forcing his chin and cheek to rub her breast as he talked. "In some strange way, I feel like I dreamed you."
"Well, I'm as real as you are, and for at least the next two years of your mission, I'm all yours." Even though they'd just met, the familiarity she'd built in-simulation took over. She brought their bodies together, pulling his head into her chest as she leaned inward, guiding his hand to her hip."Sally says we're made for each other, and somehow I'm inclined to believe her." She could feel his bulge against her thigh.
Jack was a little overwhelmed. After years of sexual neglect, Kara's advances had immediately aroused him, and instead of backing off like Victoria would have, she was pulsing her leg, rubbing and encouraging his erection so much he became surprised. "Kara?" He started, his cheek still held against her bare breast, "Victoria is still downstairs. Shouldn't we at least wait until she's gone? Headed back up to the Tet?"
"Gone?" Kara eased up her flirtation to meet his eyes. "Ohh, you've misunderstood. She's not leaving. Sally still needs her to keep an eye on the schedule, organize your work. That way I can focus on your other needs," Kara reached down between them, unable to resist the programmed urge to flirtatiously brush him with her fingers. She watched his eyes close and lips part from the gentle stimulation.
Jack let himself fall into it for a few moments. Sally wasn't kidding, Kara was more sexy and more beautiful than he could have imagined. Part of him wanted to relax into her advances, part of him wanted to throw her onto the bed and mount her, and part of him thought this whole thing was crazy. He opened his eyes, "Look, I know Victoria, and she's not going to be okay with this."
"With what, exactly?" Kara said in a flitatious voice. "Getting some help to keep you satisfied? She practically asked for it. The only thing that matters down here is your repair work, so how about you take care of the rigs, and you let me take care of everything else..."
Meanwhile, at the comm-station, Victoria was giving Sally the daily update, "...and over in sector three, we're seeing increased Scav activity. I've randomized the drone schedule, but I'd like your permission to retask another drone from one of the less active areas."
"That sounds acceptable, Victoria. Now, I'd like to talk to you about something else. Weeks ago you asked me for help with Jack, and today I'm delivering on my promise to help with two big changes. The first is in the container you have sitting there on the console." As if on cue, the container beeped and unlocked by remote control. Victoria curiously opened the lid, and found a wide and flat metal bracelet. "Go ahead, put it on. You seem to be performing better with the injections you've asked for, and so this bracelet lets the computer systems monitor you and deliver small doses whenever they're needed. You can also tap the buttons on the top to self administer."
As sally slipped it onto her wrist, the partial loop closed securely. Then a line drawing of a meditative pose appeared. When she touched it, the bracelet made faint sound, and Victoria felt pressure as mechanics sealed against her skin and forced a drug cocktail into her bloodstream. "Ohh, that's excellent, thank you Sally. This is going to be a big help. What's the other change?"
"I've heard you loud and clear that there is too much for you to handle, and there is too much at stake for your mission to fail, so so I've decided to expand your team." Victoria felt a wave of relief wash over her, though it wasn't clear how much was from the drugs. "You now only need to concern yourself with field logistics, your new housemate Kara will handle morale and meet baseline intimacy needs for both you and Jack."
"Excuse me? Are you saying Jack and I are not a couple anymore? That wasn't exactly the kind of help I was asking for." Sally didn't respond immediately, instead she felt the bracelet cinch her wrist and hiss softly again. She wondered what it was doing, and tried to slip it off, but it was too narrow to remove, then she felt a little fuzzy and slid back into her chair.
"Don't fight me on this Victoria. We've run the numbers up here, and we think you need another team member to stay on top of the mission. Promise me you'll give Kara a week, and if things haven't improved, we can look at alternative scenerios. Sound fair? Are you ready to create a more effective team?"
"Sure, sure, Sally." Whatever the last injection was, Victoria felt unreasonably calm, and couldn't stop her head from swirling around as she talked. "That's all I want, for us to be a more effective team."
??? Kara and Victoria meet...
Victoria took the spiral steps down from the comm-center very slowly, as she still felt woozy from the injection. Before she had even descended into the room, she had already spotted the lower legs of both Jack, and their new companion, Kara, standing intimately close to each other against the far window. Victoria paused, feeling already apprehensive, then remembered her promise to Sally, and took another step. She was entirely unprepared for what she saw.
Kara wasn't just pretty, she was gorgeous, and she wasn't just tall, she was amazonian. She was so much taller than Jack, that even her shoulders were inches above his head, and casually embracing each other, his face was planted squarely against the bare skin of the prodigious cleavage hanging out of an unreasonably deep plunge in her top. Victoria felt her pulse began to rise, and considered storming back upstairs to catch Sally again before the Tet descended beyond the horizon. But her thoughts were interrupted when she felt pressure on her wrist, heard a small hiss, and looked up to see Kara staring right at her.
"Hello Victoria," she casually offered from across the room, "I've been looking forward to meeting you. Come down so we can be properly introduced."
As Victoria complied, descending the stairs, she felt foggy, dissociated. Like she was seeing the world but not really part of it. As she approached the towering buxom woman, Kara let go of Jack, and Victoria could see redness against the skin of her chest, and briefly peeked down, confirming the obvious bulge in Jack's pants. 'Is this how it happens?' she thought, concluding she'd already been replaced.
"Very nice to finally meet you, Victoria," Kara said, extending her hand. You're accomplishments are remarkable, everyone on the Tet knows your name. For being as small as she was, the woman had a remarkable presence, and an incredibly firm grip. Kara decided to "It's obvious you run the show down here. Sally says my title is head of mission human factors, and I have a Ph.D and M.D. in pharmacological psychiatry, which sounds very sterile and official, but I'm a real direct southern girl, and I think it's better if we all just admit I'm here to have alot of sex. With Jack, with you, with both of you, whatever I think will help us all stay effective. I understand you like to have a schedule. Those timeslots will be with me now.
"Wait, what?" Victoria's head was spinning on so many levels. She wasn't even comfortable talking about sex with Jack, let alone with this over-grown over-sexualized bimbette. "Jack and I might be having a bit of a rough patch, but I didn't intend to end our relationship, and I certainly don't expect to have a relationship with you."
"Kara," Jack said, touching her arm to get her attention, "I warned you. Can I talk to Victoria alone please?"
"No, Jack, this team is at the verge of coming apart, and it's my job to put it back together." She turned back to Victoria. "You promised Sally you'd give me a week, are you going back on that promise? should we call mission control and tell them you're resisting my involvement?"
"You're damn right I'm resisting your involvement. The Tet is out of comms range, so how about you sleep on the spare bed, and we can sort this all out in the morning."
"I have a better idea. I'm going to be very straight. Sally trained me to replace you, and was prepared to court marshal you for sabotaging the mission, but I convinced her the three of us could be more effective than two. I just asked for one little addition. Mission computer, please make Victoria more agreeable." They all heard the faint sound coming from the device on Victoria's wrist. "So you see, I'm on your side, Victoria. I think you're merely cracking under the pressure. Who could keep it together with the survival of the human race on their shoulders? I'm here to relieve that pressure, for both of you. Now, we're going to run things my way for a while, and if you relax, you might find you even like it. Are we clear?"
"Clear? Clear about wha...a...a..." Victoria felt tingly all over and woozy at the same time, as a cocktail of MDMA and barbituates swirled around in her bloodstream. Her brain was no longer thinking, instead she was merely feeling. "Are you real? How are you so tall?" She reached out her hand, touching Kara's tummy, and through the fabric she felt smooth firm muscle.
"Ohh, I'm very real, Victoria. I went through puberty on moon-colony. The low gravity amplified my tall genes and gave me a unique perspective on life. Let me ask you, have you ever kissed a woman before?" Kara pressed at her skirt, and it quickly slid to the floor. Behind her, Jack's jaw dropped at his view of her chiseled butt and thighs.
"Na.no.." she stammered out, equal parts confused and excited at seeing Kara undressing. Next she opened her shirt, offering Victoria a view not only of her beautiful firm breasts, but the most perfectly chiseled female abs she'd ever seen. "Oh my god. I would die to have abs like yours. You're absolutely gorgeous."
????? where is this going ????
maybe Kara gets them naked? Maybe this is all stupid?
i was expecting Kara to use drug fueled suggestive domination on her.
we should back off on all of this Kara/Vicci intimacy.. and save it for when they are alone
??? what else to do with this story ???
