Founders Ch. 84

84: Wednesday, Taurus 11, 231. 0600 hours OST: Startup

Dawn was showing through the window when Berte rolled Zach onto his back. She straddled him, her warm cunt slipping tightly onto his turgid morning wood as he awakened. She smiled enigmatically out the window as she rode him. Her firm pink-nippled DD milkers bounced and swayed hypnotically. She made quick, high, guttural sounds of satisfaction. No text to speech this morning. She was in her own world, as usual, but also entirely with him.

Anna started to fuss. Berte smiled down at him and sped up. She knew his body well and knew he was close. With a grunt, he caught her as he orgasmed and thrust his hips up. His semen shot very satisfyingly into her as she moaned.

She climbed off, spilling it, grabbed Anna, and nursed her with a sigh of relief. Berte switched her to take the pressure off the other breast as well.

They took turns showering and holding the baby. Berte had generously unloaded his personal items from the excursion vehicle. They had fresh changes of clothes, therefore, in the bedroom. And Anna had fresh baby clothes. "Alexis texted out an invitation to everyone to breakfast, 8 AM, at the Breeding Bitches Saloon," Berte said.

The tiny curvy blonde engineer and the lanky blond doctor walked there. They strolled their cute bundle of joy Anna in her black plastic baby carriage, arriving well ahead of time. Alexis was in a big comfy black plastic bed right in the middle of the ground floor. Beside her was a black plastic stripper pole. Michaela was assembling black plastic tables and chairs. It appeared that the beginning of a black plastic bar was growing out of one corner.

Zach checked Alexis and baby Anarchy. They were fine.

"Zach, I want you to take over Colette while I'm incapacitated," Alexis said.

"There's only a month when she'll be back in action but you won't be yet."

"She needs attention during that month."

"I'm not going to whip her or anything. Orgasm denial is as far as I'll go."

"Fair enough. If she needs a whipping, it can wait until I'm on my feet. Will you do it?"

"Agreed."

"I'll have her report to you as soon as she's ready for sex," Alexis concluded.

Once everyone was present and breakfast was served, Colleen stood up. "We have a number of matters to discuss and hear about in no particular order. Khushi, why don't you start, since you have by far the most wonderful news."

"Allow me to demonstrate," said Khushi. She put Aaron on the table on his tummy. With coaxing, he rolled over by himself onto his back. This elicited applause from those assembled. Khushi was such a marvelous dancer. Zach was gratified but not too surprised that Aaron was showing early signs of dexterity.

Khushi continued, "I'm about to start leaving Aaron at home with Zach during the day. I will initially be focusing on getting the semiconductor factory set up and working. This facility will take months to initialize. We need it at a high priority."

"We certainly do," said Colleen. "Anming, you go next."

"I will be sitting with Zach as he cares for babies, or staying with the babies if he goes out to treat an injury. Michaela will be with me. We'll be working on the theory and caring for any babies old enough to need to crawl around. Once they can move it's no longer feasible to carry them in a sling all day."

"That makes three caregivers," said Colleen. "I will also be involved in caring for babies at some point. I am also our benevolent dictator, police department, and legal system, to the extent we need one. I'm appointing Alexis to be the mayor of our fair village. The judicial and executive branches should be separate. Until we have more than half a dozen babies in daycare, I'll help Charisse and Aanya in the farm dome most of my shift. I have to get used to calling it a shift instead of a watch.

"The most important thing I have to mention will happen four years, or two Martian years, from now. Around about Colony Mission Three landing, I will be leaving to fly spacecraft again. I'll be back every seven hundred and eighty days, and I'll stay for seven hundred and eighty days.

"This is probably as good a time as any to bring up the subject of time, namely years. A year here is about two Earth years, six hundred and eighty seven Earth days, to be exact. So we need to stop using Earth years for most things and start Martian years, or it will get too confusing. This means the age of consent is ten. That's actually eighteen point eight Earth years, but we won't tell the young 'uns. And most notably, Zach is only seventeen." Hoots and catcalls to him accompanied this revelation.

"You're next, Ayana."

"I am on maternity leave until the first of Rishabha," Ayana said. "As soon as I'm back, I will be making the rounds instead of Zach. I'm available for infant care as that expands. Until then, it's the agriculture dome unless someone needs me for something else.

Ayana continued, "I want to bring up an important point. For our own emotional health and our children's development, we need more color in our environment. This black plastic everything is fashionable in its way, but we need more variety."

"I can modify the 3D printers to add color," said Berte. "I can also manufacture paint and dyes."

"That will be great, Berte," said Colleen. "Colby, please go next."

"In seven hundred and sixty-nine days, I'll be gone for seven hundred and eighty days," said Colby. "After that, I'll be back and forth to Earth just like Colleen, except on a staggered schedule. When Colleen's here, I'll be there, and vice versa." She looked at Zach.

This was news to Zach. It made sense, since she was the CEO of everything. He could give her the benefit of the doubt. She had probably intended to tell him in private the previous day. Then the argument had happened. He didn't know what expression to have. "I'll miss you," he said. "I hope you'll come back."

She came over to him and hugged him tightly around the head. "I'll always come back, baby," she reassured him. "And when I'm not here, Colleen will be, so you'll never have to miss us both."

She stood up to address the crew as a whole. "And since we're on the subject of Zach having his nut sack properly fondled, I've made a new schedule. At first, this chart might look confusing. Well, I agree, it is! It comes from interviewing everybody to find out how they'd like or need Zach. There's one day apiece for each of the seven wives to spend our shift doing childcare with Zach. Or in the early days, Zach can bring Aaron and watch us work. The Breeding Bitches get him at breakfast and dinner. Berte and Aanya share him at lunch. We each spend the night with him on the day we spend our shift with him. But there's an important improvement. Some of us get a bed buddy to help us with Zach's overnight horniness. You all no that I love Zach dearly. But I, for one, like to be able to walk the next morning. Our bed buddy will share Zach's, heh, loads, and also take him in the mornings." Colby beamed at them. "Oh, except for Charisse, Colleen, and Khushi. That brave trio want him all to themselves all evening, night, and morning long. Charisse, of course."

"Woo-hoo!" cried Charisse.

"Colleen, well she said since she's not flying right now, she can afford to be a happy cripple once a week." There was laughter and applause for Colleen.

"And Khushi, as we all know, can handle anything."

"I'll attest to that!" Ayana piped up.

There was applause. Khushi accepted their attention in good spirits.

"In summary," Colby said, "I believe my new plan will satisfy all our urges without crippling anyone." She received a well-deserved round of applause.

"Was Zachary consulted in this?" asked Anming.

"Hell no," said Colby. "This is for us. Plus, allow me to demonstrate. What do you think of my plan, Zach baby?"

"Sounds good," said Zach.

"See what I mean?" said Colby.

Anming didn't see, but she sat back and folded her arms.

"That's everything for me," said Colby.

"Michaela?"

"Will continue to work with Anming on Unified Field Theory. That's it."

"Berte?"

She texted out her response and let her phone do the talking. "As you can see, I'll be fucking Zach's brains out at lunchtime, and also one evening a week. Oh, and yes, I'll be running our automated construction equipment to build new buildings, domes and power plants. That's probably more what you were asking, weren't you? But anyway. Caring for Anna. Building shit. Fucking Zach. Reading fanfic. Sleeping some. That's about it."

"Thank you," said Colleen. "Alexis?"

"As your undemocratically elected mayor, as soon as I climb out of this hospital bed, I plan to shamelessly pander to all of you. Meals will be here for the time being. And any objections to putting Zach to work during meals? You know what I mean. Since we aren't in mixed company anymore excepting Zach."

"My digestion would be better if you spared me," said Ayana.

"Oh but Ayana, you know that Zach almost always elicits pretty songs from our comrades. And I know you're partial to a song from a pretty girl. Zach just makes that one grunt or roar at the end. Simply face the other way and ignore Zach's ending noise, and you'll have pleasant mealtime accompaniment."

"Very well. I can always wear headphones like I did in the bubble."

"I also object," said Colby. "It's not a good precedent to set. Soon enough, we'll have a crowd of bright little tots running around learning everything they can see. This is adult business, and I don't think it should take place in our public spaces."

"I have to agree," said Colleen. "We had our share of wild public sex on the Interplanetary Vessel. I contributed to that. But it's well past time to tone it down in public."

"Aww, here I am, stuck in this bed for weeks," said Alexis. "I'll miss all those sweet, sweet opportunities to watch and jill off under my blankets."

"I feel your pain," said Colleen. "I imagine we can set Zach's meals in the room at the top of those stairs. As soon as you can climb them you can go up and watch."

"Fair enough."

"Anyone else who's interested can go up there to eat and watch," added Colleen. To this the women muttered and waved away the suggestion. Almost all of them would watch passively if presented the opportunity. Some would even openly masturbate if it happened. None of them other than Alexis were interested in announcing their voyeuristic tendencies so boldly.

"Thank you. As your mayor, I'm here to smooth every irritation, however slight. And you know that we all love Zach," said Alexis. "But as matters stand, we won't see another man in seven hundred and seventy nine days." There was a collective groan. "I'm not promising anything, mind you, but we're hatching a plan to bring the miners here." There was applause for this. "I'll keep you posted. Like I said, I'm here to fix all your problems.

"And aside from being mayor, I'll run our mining operations. I'll continue to assist Colette in making her next motherlode find. Don't give me that look, girl. You know you deserve the credit. Just live with it. Okay, that's all for me."

"Zach?"

"As you heard from the others, I'll be focusing on childcare. I'm doing rounds until Ayana is available. I'm on call twenty four seven for medical emergencies. As the colony grows, we'll get other folks in to educate our children. As time goes on I'll focus increasingly on being a physician and surgeon."

"Colette?"

"As Alexis mentioned, I'll be working on mining."

"Charisse?"

"Aanya and I are responsible for the farming dome and our food supply. At this point, we can produce far more than we consume. We have no stockpiles at present. We'll be doing our best to create some large stockpiles. There's no doubt we'll need these at some point in our growth curve."

"Aanya? Anything to add?"

"We'll be setting up our labs and facilities to produce our lifeforms designed for Mars. At some point in the near future, we'll begin some limited testing."

"Thanks for coming everyone," said Colleen.

Many people, including Zach, got up to leave.

"Not so fast," said Charisse, grabbing his right arm.

"Waited patiently," said Michaela, grabbing his left.

They led him up the stairs to Michaela's bedroom.
