The Tree - outline
Concept:
Sci-Fi future universe with human FTL. Several humanoid races are connected across the galaxy.
The caste-based Kandori race erupts into civil war between the commoners and the 'female ruling elite', over the tight control of 'The Tree', a scarce plant whose fruit triggers adolescent females to develop unusual size (8-9' ??), strength, sexuality, and intelligence. Of the three known carefully guarded Trees, one is destroyed, one is captured, and one escapes with Tezana Utora to earth.
Directions:
(1) The last Kandori daughter from the ruling Utora family (Tez - Tezana Utora), escapes to earth with her family's tree, befriending a human man and attempting to reassert stability over her people
(2) the liberation struggles to manage the extremely limited resource of the tree they captured. Use of the tree immediately changes the dynamic in their ranks, as Liarra quickly takes over the liberation and elevates two female scientists to study the tree.
(3) When (Tez) fails to re-establish elite control, we see the effects of The Tree on human females, as she attempts to establish a new elite on Earth.
Q - how do these adolescent girls get away from their 18 y/o life?
Characters
On Earth
On Kandor
Story 1 - Tez, the last Kandori elite, escapes to earth, befriends a man, and as she tries to figure out what comes next for her, she uses her elevated capabilities to take care of him financially and sexually. Making him wealthy and pampered.
Story 2 - The rebel liberation, after successfully killing the elite and taking possession of a tree, and led by newly elevated Liarra, struggles to blend their idealistic goals with the constraints of reality. Meanwhile, Liarra's populist intent gives way as she experiences easy physical and sexual dominance of men.
Story 3 - Two elevated rebel liberation scientists demonstrate some of the challenges with thrusting mental, physical, and sexual superiority on adolescents who are insufficiently prepared.
Story 4 - On Kandor, an exclusive member of the sex-worker caste is elevated. We see her clients swoon and lavishly compete for her attention; and her explore new superiority over her clients.
Story 5 - A low-end commoner member of the sex-worker caste is elevated. We see some of her clients distance themselves, as new johns gravitate towards her. She enjoys a new alpha-female status among her peers, causing some to hate and others to love her.
Story 6 - Support for the Liberation grows on Kandor, and Tez's supporters at home tell her she should stay on Earth where it's safe. She reaches out to Earth authorities, seeking asylum, and is granted it. Knowledge of her presence on earth triggers a flurry of press about her, Kandor, and elevation.. which she follows up with an interview. (during which she puts a favorable but condescending spin on Kandor's commoner independence, "all children must establish their independence")
Story 12 - Gent's ex g/f Suzanne and her younger sister Lisa descend on Gent after hearing about Tez and his connection to her. Tez forces an experiment on Lisa, Gent's ex g/f's younger sister... elevating the first human. Without the Kandor training and preparation Tez was provided, Lisa is practical drunk on herself, demonstrating her mental, physical, and sexual superiority like it's a new toy -- to Gant, the only man she has access to.
Story 13 - Tez, Lisa, Gant discuss recruiting other male partners, but Tez has much to learn about humans. On Kandor, any man would gladly become part of the harem. On Earth, men are often put off by women who are taller than they are, let alone more intelligent. Lisa hatches a plan to recruit men from the fetish scene, by constructing an elaborate role-play, and then (after confiscating phones and the like), having the men experience their fantasy live, being seduced by Tez and Lisa.
Story 8 -
Story 1: As the elite is being crushed, one leader uses subterfuge to send her daughter (Tezana Utora - Tez) with her 'tree' (possibly the last in elite control) smuggled on an outbound ship. (how?) She is discovered by Gent, a 24 y/o human male. When they are not able to understand each other, he reaches for his mobile to start a universal communicator -- but she freaks out, obviously afraid of the computer. He understands and puts it away. He helps her, bringing her back to his apartment as she protects her 'package' with her life. He tries to make her comfortable, safe, fed. She finally warms up to him and appreciates the help. They hug. / The next day, when he's gone, she checks her tree, and talking to herself about how she 'doesn't know what to do', she considers her mother's words, and how she needs to keep the elite alive, to preserve peace for her people... but also knows if she takes it she won't be able to hide among the humans for long. She decides she has no choice, and takes the fruit. She experiences a rush of disorientation, then clarity about what she has to do. She fights exhaustion, hacks into his computer, learns how to secure her traffic, and discovers the state of the Kendori civil war. Then she spends some time to learn basic English. / When he returns, he's surprised to find her at the computer, and even more surprised when she responds in broken English. She briefly explains what happened, and then explains that she has to stop the civil war and save her race. She also feels a rush of attraction and asserts she has to go. He finds her unusually attractive and tall. He appeals to her not to rush out, offering to help, making very rational arguments... he's finally able to stop her by appealing to her needing to get some less conspicuous human looking clothes... she picks some items out on the computer, to be delivered in a few hours. Their proximity has heightened their arousal, and they fall into developing feelings for each other.
Story 2: The commoner rebels (mixed gender, but led by women), did secure one of the precious trees. Unfortunately, neither the men, nor the post-adolescent women can benefit from the fruit. One of the older female leaders of the rebellion tests it anyhow, taking the fruit, getting no results. She turns to her younger trusted underling (Liarra), giving her a speech about her responsibility to and position in their cause once she's elevated, and then presents her the fruit to consume. She feels disoriented and exhausted, and they escort her to lie down. / When she comes too, she's partially elevated, much smarter, more confident, and several inches taller (6'5"). She insists on an immediate assembly of the liberation leaders. Liarra is immediately front and center, her elevation getting reactions for both male and female leaders. She explains how their first priority is controlling the commoner population's expectations - she needs to address them. To meet their goals, they need to research the tree, learn to cultivate it in quantities, but that will take time. In the meantime, they need to show that they are not a new elite, by converting women outside their organization (this was not at all part of the plan, and gets resistance). She explains why it's necessary, and how they will constrain the application process. Then she turns her focus to the men. Support for the liberation among men is much more tenuous, as many are concerned about what their place will be when the fruit is widely available. It's going to take them a long time to make the fruit available to all women, and if they want their cause to survive that long, they need to give men more reason to support them than resist them. She summarizes her plan, explaining that of the 9 available fruit, they will use 2 for tree scientists, 1 for the lottery, 3 for members of the 'sex worker caste', and keep the remaining 3 unused. The liberation leaders roar with disagreement. She defends her plan, first to the female liberation leaders who have to be patient before their daughters can be elevated, then to the men, flirting with them and making the case that her plan is the best way to enlist the men to their cause. Then she transitions into reminding them that the elevation increases her sexual appetite, and that she would be delighted for the men present to be the first to help her satisfy it. (causing animosity with the women, and immediate interest and obedience from the men)
Story 1: Gent wakes up unusually early, finding Tez next to him in bed... reflecting briefly, before being startled at her unfamiliar appearance. Upon inspecting her, he realizes she's easily (7' tall), and both more fit and voluptuous. While he's trying to figure out what is going on, Tez wakes up, startling him before realizing how he's responding to her new appearance. She cautions him not to be alarmed, then tries to quickly explain the Tree, and her race's governing elite. He summarizes her long explanation with something funny, trite, and unfavorable to the ruling elite. She explains he's seeing it like a commoner. She explains that there isn't any problem with a female dominated society, after all, it's quite arbitrary that men are dominant in many societies. The challenge is managing a transition that involves an entire race. She asks exactly what he thinks would happen to his society if overnight every human female, not just the righteous and just, but the devious, manipulative, and evil, became physically, mentally, and sexually superior to men. He grumbles, admitting there could be some problems, before reacting and questioning what she means by 'sexually superior'. She assumes a sexual posture, easily seducing him, and demonstrating how easily she can command his attention... (? before finally giving in and satisfying him.) / Afterwords, she returns to her cause, discussing how the liberation will approach the coming weeks, and what she must do to thwart them. (she needs to stay safe and address her people. let them know that they have a living governess) he objects to her use of the word 'governess', and they talk about the subtleties of English, trying to find a proper word. Then they discuss how to keep her safe, and she explains that she's actually safest staying with him in hiding. Any attempt to move is a risk, as the liberation may be looking for her, and that Earth government is resisting taking a side on the conflict. / He jests that he's not sure if he's housing a fugitive, but he's willing to take the risk. She flirts and sexes him up.
Story 2: Liarra is fully elevated (9'), and a commanding presence. She wakes with two of the men from the leadership sleeping around her, waking them and pleasuring them to entertain herself. She pleasures the first, and then dismisses him, explaining how he should spread word of his time with her, making the finality of it clear.. before turning to the other, and explaining that he gets to pleasure her, and he gets to stay with her another day. / Following that, she meets with the young partially elevated scientists, explaining how they were chosen for being prodigies, and thus trained in science at a young age. Discusses their findings about the tree. Their progress, their plans. After the science, she changes gears and talks about relations with men. She goes over how it's important that they not give men any reason to fear them. That they not demonstrate their physical strength, or show any overly dominant tendencies, even if they have them. How their sexual appetite will increase, and how they can choose their own partners, or she can bring them some. The geeky scientists are embarrassed at her direct discussions of sex. Rache has never been with a man. Liarra tells them not to worry, just focus on the science, and she'll make sure their other needs are met.
maybe?? - Liarra holds a meeting of the liberation leaders, voting on some issues. The men all vote with her. One of the women raises a motion to reconsider the fruit allocation. All the men vote with her, but the women vote against.
Story 1: Tez records her address to her people. Emploring them to consider carefully whether they want what the rebel liberation is overring them. That the imbalance, both between genders, and between young and old, could destabilize their civilization for a decades. Reminding them that the elite guided them to peace and prosperity for over two thousand years. Then she shifts to a call to action, asking them to reject the liberation, to arrest them as enemies of the state. Do this, and she'll gladly return to their homeworld to re-establish order. / After sending the recording, she immediately starts seducing Gent "again", to his mild protest that he just serviced her. She apologizes, reflecting that now she understands why her mother and the other elite always had multiple male partners. The elevation gives her amazing clarity, but unstoppable sexual urges. She should probably do more to help him, rather than just demanding to be sexed all the time. She asks if he can spare some seed capital for her to earn him money though tradable markets. They talk about 'how much'. She explains that her race's advanced chaos theory science should yield double digit daily returns -- which shocks him. He jests at his 'tough situation', and how he'll just have to do his best... as she reaffirms her seduction -- and the two go at it.
Story 2: Liarra addresses her people, with her plan to free them from the control of a ruling elite. That she's their liberator. That at that moment she has scientists working on the secret of the Tree, and how they will not stop until she's bred enough of them to distribute them widely throughout society. That they will no longer lumber along as a slow moving race, but with millions of them elevated, societal challenges will bow under their new collective intellect, and they will become one of the most advanced races in the galaxy. / Then she shifts to address the men, "selling" and enticing them with a female gender that is caring, generous of spirit, beautiful, and more driven to carnal pleasure. Their men have not only been unfairly burdened with the lions share of the responsibility for supporting their families, but they are all too often cursed with partners with lackluster willingness to satisfy their physical needs. (don't be offended ladies. you've all been there, knowing what your man wants, and being just too tired or disinterested to provide it). Elevation is the cure for all of this and more. Once elevated, women will not only work hard to relieve some of a family's financial burden, but they will have the energy and drive to treat their man to whatever kind of sexual seduction and attention you desire.
Story 3: Racha (scientist) is having trouble focusing, and Yasmara (other scientist) asks if she's still refusing her male (foreign word for 'attendants'). Racha breaks down, confessing he came again the night before, and she didn't dare open the door, and how she could smell him through it. Yasmara laughs and encourages her to given in, that it's in her nature now, and if she just lets go her body will take over. Racha explains her reluctance, despite feeling more and more queasy, distracted, and sweaty.
??? what happens next? Yasmara sends her home (you're no good here anyhow), where she muddles through her first sexual experience. Midway through, her body takes over, and she becomes a little too forceful in her extracting pleasure from the man who came to see her. Hurting him as she grinds herself to orgasm more than once. When her pressure is finally relieved, she realizes what she's done and apologize profusely. He is just glad she didn't really hurt him, and tries to just lie down to recover... but her curiosity gets the better of her, and when his body starts responding to her, she can't help but enjoy pleasuring him.
Story 1: Tez explains to Gent that by using the 10k earth credits he supplied, and applying compounding leverage strategies and chaos models over ten Earth days, she's been able to earn 834k earth credits, and in another ten days, she should be able to achieve 6.3M, with a +/- 3.4M error factor. - Gent doesn't believe what he's hearing. It takes him two months to earn 10k credits, and she made 800k in a week? He struggles to calculate how long it would take him to earn that much, and she quickly confirms it would take him a little over 13 years at his current rate of earnings. She shows him his account balance on the screen, and asks if it would be okay if she moves them into a larger (nicer) apartment? He's still shocked as he agrees that would be amazing. That she's amazing. He kisses her deeply. Commenting that he can't even believe she's real. She holds him and explains that it makes her feel really good to make his life better. She kisses him and makes quick use of her breasts and body to rile him up, teasingly asking if there is anything else she can do to make his life better.
Story 4: A conservative faction organizes to back Tez and stop the liberation, mostly made up of men. Until science can figure out how to use the Tree to elevate both men and women, they want to see it controlled and used by only a select few. Though they want the elite council to admit male representatives, and they want ...
???
Story 12 - Suzanne and Lisa descend on Gent after deducing his connection to Tez, the famous Kandor living among them.
They are shocked meeting Tez, and put off at the realization she is Gent's sexual partner. After the shock of meeting Tez, the girls are filled in on the Kandori conflict (but not her possession of the tree).
Tez corners Lisa privately, and asks her if she would be willing to make a great sacrifice, if it had a chance to bring about a period of peace and prosperity of all of Earth. After some vague discussion, Tez force feeds her a fruit to her. She loses consciousness, making Gent and Suzanne quite upset. Tez succinctly explains why she did it, knowing it could have killed her, with no remorse.
Before Lisa even wakes up, it's clear the elevation is having an effect on her, as her size and appearance changes. Tez explains what a rare gift she's been given, that it'll change her life forever. That so far her human transformation seems equivalent, and in a few days she'll be the first elevated human, and the most intelligent and alluring human on the planet.
When Lisa wakes up the next morning (7'), Gent and Suzanne are at her side. She explains how weird she feels, how she just remembers passing out. Gent apologizes for dragging her into this. She feels her rekindled attraction for him. When she sits up and holds his hand, she's surprised at how small it is, and asks what's going on. Gent tries to explain Kandori elevation, to her disbelief. He directs her to a mirror, and challenges her to look and see for herself. She gets out of the bed, walking awkwardly, and shocked at her suddenly tall and fit appearance in the mirror, especially when Gent stands a foot shorter, and Suzanne even more. She faces him, asking how this is possible. He explains the tree, and how Tez made her a human test subject for the elevation, again apologizing. She asks if it's complete, or if she'll turn out like Tez, turning back to the mirror to admire herself. Gent explains that they are not sure, but so far she's responding just like the Kandori. Meanwhile he's distracted by the way she's posing and touching to inspect herself. She notices, 'Gent, why are you looking at me like that? Are you attracted to me?' causing him to try to apologize and rationalize what it's like to see an elevated human. she interrupts him, 'please, don't apologize. when he and Suzanne were together, she used to lie up at night wishing he would look at her that way." / Suzanne pulls Gent away, chastising her sister for acting this way. However, Lisa retorts that she 'had her chance with him', making extremely forward moves on him, and driving Suzanne to leave, before she seduces and fucks him.
Tez eventually checks in, asking casually if she's finished enjoying him, making clear it didn't bother her. Tez asks her questions to confirm her mentality acquity increase, then explains her responsibility in the new elite Tez is creating on Earth. She also explains how her sexual needs will increase, and sharing Gent will not be enough to keep them both of them sated and focused, so they'll need to choose more male partners. Gent expresses some light protest at Tez having other male partners. She cuddles up to him, and starts touching him as she awakens him to the reality of his new situation. Tat he's part of the (foreign word), loosely meaning 'the harem'. That he needs to let go of his antiquated views of gender relations, established during barbaric eras thousands of years ago. That in bringing the Kandori traditions of elite and (the harem) to Earth, the few chosen men, like himself, will have the sexual freedom every man dreams of... shared and sexually pleasured by enlightened women, with no restrictions, no jealousy. Though in turn, the enlightened women will enjoy the same freedom, to different and multiple partners. That even though his untrained limbic system may initially experience some jealousy, that surely he can see the value of a modern and fair arrangement.
