Pea Pod - Give Peas a Chance

"So devastating a block of town was just a bluff?" she lazily asked.

"Someone harmed an innocent technician. Had someone gotten through my force field to harm Dolly, believe me, we wouldn't be having this discussion," Heidi declared as we parked where Huichaana had indicated.

"Anyone not involved would have been collateral damage," she sighed, shook her head and moved to leave on the gangway.

"Someone did take a shot," the Empress informed the woman, "The woman tried to kill my daughter. The response was incredibly measured, and had my constables been better trackers, it would have been handled internally. As it turned out they lost the perpetrator, Dolly offered the help of her Amazons and the shooter was brought before 'the one', for justice."

"So she was killed because she made the attempt," gloomy determined.

The Empress was becoming a bit annoyed with her and stated, "Actually, she was brought in and the powers of the Queen made her pronounce sentence upon herself."

"She committed suicide?"

Windy appeared next to her and said, "No, I carried out the sentence by breaking her neck. It was quick, painless, and humane."

"Who are you?"

"Huichaana, may I introduce you to the Amazonian, Windy Gordon, my second wife," I told the woman.

"I thought that Chimalmat was the Amazonian...?" Huichaana told us.

"Ah... I was just borrowing the word to help keep the peace," she promised. "There is no way I want, or could earn the job permanently."

"But you're almost two feet taller than she is," Huichaana told the constable.

"I do not have telekinetic abilities or the training the Amazonian has," she admitted, "I have seen images of this one take out much larger and younger opponents faster than can be believed. She ended a pretender to the throne and the poor woman never saw or heard the danger before her head was rolling down the street. No, I am no amazon. I am just a big constable hired to keep the peace in this town. Hell when I came out to determine the level of the threat, she stripped me of my weapons, and I never saw or felt her do it."

"I see, now we can expect to be slaves and have everything worth a damn taken by the new government," miss downer moaned as she unlocked the front door to the facilities.

"Empress, have I taken anything from you?" I asked.

"Yes Queen Dolly, you have," she admitted.

"Well, I beg your pardon and if you'll tell me what it is, I'll see that you get it back," I guaranteed.

"Even you cannot give my heart back to me," she laughed. "Other than that one thing, you have done nothing but give. You give to me, you give to the townspeople, and you give to even this sullen woman we are following."

"What has she given me?"

Windy answered for everyone, "Lenience. The old Queen would have had me kill you slowly for your attitude. Although she would never have cared to do the work Dolly is doing to bring our world back, she would have simply ensured her own comfort."

"So does she plan to help clean out the overloaded fertilizer production plant? Will she be repairing the haulers to get this to the farms? Then will she be driving tractors to plant the crops and spread the fertilizer? I doubt the Queen will be helping all that much."

I whistled and twenty five technicians came up in front of me, "Loyal technicians, would you please see to it that this place is functional and if you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask me. Oh and Heidi please have the towns people dressed and pretty before you send any of them home. Hang onto the ones who admit to having worked at the water or sewer plants or any who just want to hang around for now."

"Consider it done Dolly," she replied.

Power systems all over the place were coming on. The conveyors began to move. The plant robotic workmen were beginning to roam about doing their jobs, until one conveyor creaked loudly and ground to a halt.

I wandered over to investigate and saw two technicians reefing on a crowbar trying to free it up. I put one finger on the bar with them both still straining and pushed. The crowbar bent, but the conveyor started running right away, "Oh my goddess... it felt like a bulldozer was shoving with us."

The Empress elbowed Huichaana and said, "You were saying that she wouldn't lift a finger...?"

"What does she need an Amazon guard for?"

"Because they want to do it for her," the Empress replied, "You won't see anyone in her crew who wouldn't cut her own arm off if Dolly asked her to."

"They fear her that much?" Huichaana assumed.

"Hell no fool," the Empress remarked, "Every one of them loves her more than they love their own mother!"

"She makes them work like dogs," Huichaana observed.

"Actually, she makes them stop working. I saw her do it last night. They want to work for her. When they apply to come on this mission, they never ask what the compensation will be, because they don't care. They would do it for free. They know that Dolly will force them to stop working for meals and breaks and she often rewards them for exceptional work with an invitation to join her in bed," the Empress sighed.

"She forces them to pleasure her?" Huichaana exclaimed in shock.

"Now you just sound ignorant," the Empress replied, "I've been with her in bed and I'd give her the factory if she'd let me come back regularly."

"Oh, that won't be necessary," the Empress's brassiere stated, "You have already been given an open invitation to join the festivities whenever you feel up to it."

"I might add Huichaana, you will be working for me from now on," the Empress informed her, "I want you to give me your personnel requirements, and a list of what consumables you are going to need and whatever technical support you will need so that I may supply them. You will be properly compensated for your efforts and I believe you will find yourself living in comparable opulence to your life recently. However, there will be one additional requirement in your case."

"What would that be Empress?"

"When Dolly comes back, I want to watch you pledge your fealty to the Queen of Ka'an," the Empress insisted, "She's earned it."

"Don't even think it..." Windy cautioned before Huichaana could say anymore.

"I accept your terms Empress," Huichaana decided.

Chimalmat screeched, "I have my weapons! They were gone and now they're back..."

"I felt you might need them to help protect your Empress and Queen," Windy informed the constable.

"Thank you Amazonian, I will do my best," Chimalmat replied with a hug.

I wandered back and rejoined the group, "They almost had it. I only had to add finger pressure to their pulling to make the difference."

Huichaana whispered to Windy, "Is she kidding... she doesn't know?"

"If you tell her I may have to hurt you..." Windy replied.

"Queen Dolly, I beg that you accept my fealty to you and your regime," Huichaana asked as she knelt.

"Oh hell girl, get up! It's too hard to hug someone on their knees," I told her holding out my arms.

She stood wide eyed and frightened as I hugged her, "Relax sweetie, I promise not to hurt you." When she finally unstiffened and relaxed into the hug I let go of her, "By the way I have shared the Goddess's blessing with you."

"I'm glowing!" she screeched.

"That you are," the Empress observed, "But then, so are most of the others around here."

"Huichaana, could you direct a few of my girls toward where those haulers are parked? We should see what can be done to put them into operation," I asked.

"This way Queen Dolly," Huichaana urged as she headed out a rear door of the facility.

I followed closely and as I looked over my shoulder, I saw ten technicians in hot pursuit behind me, "Welcome to the fun ladies. Are you all having a good day?"

"Every day with you Dolly is a good day!" one of the ladies yelled loudly.

I yelled back, "I feel the same way! But the nights with you are awesome!"

One of the girls swooned but she was helped along by the others.

"It's true, they love working for her!" Huichaana almost fainted herself.

"Who the hell wouldn't? I'm pregnant, I'm cared for, and my Queen loves me! I would do anything for the person responsible!" the technician exclaimed.

"You are pregnant? How...?" Huichaana stammered.

"I thought that you were a grown woman? You don't know how women become pregnant?" the technician giggled.

"Of course I know... where, did you get the required material is what I was asking," Huichaana clarified.

"Jared fucked me senseless one night and offered to do it again if it didn't take! I'd like to make that stud mine permanently, but I couldn't be that selfish!" she admitted.

"The Queen is sharing the men she brought with her?" Huichaana asked in amazement.

"Hell no, the Queen is a, died in the wool confirmed lesbian. She brought those men for everyone else!" the tech laughed as she went to work on a hauler which was the size of a ten yard dump truck.

"Are you glad you joined up yet..." the Empress teased.

"Pregnant... The Queen rebuilds the world... We live in amazing times Empress," Huichaana stated.

"What of our times would you change, if you could?" the Empress asked.

"If the times are truly what I am witnessing, not one damn thing..." she seemed to almost run down.

Three techs were struggling to move a hauler off of parts of another so I walked up, placed a hand on it, and shoved. The machine slid 57 feet across the yard before it came to a stop, "Huh... we must be on a hill."

The three techs looked at each other with eyeballs the size of tea cup saucers.

When I walked back I stated, "Gosh when I gave those three a little help that darn thing rolled way the heck down that hill."

"There's no hill there," Huichaana whispered to the Empress.

"Shh... she might hear you!"

The technicians were gathered around the hauler and they began working to make it functional again. One of them started work trying to remove the dent my hand made from the side of it.

"Can any of you sweet girls give me an idea what our progress is?" I asked the gathered technicians.

One girl wandered over and said, "We have three haulers functioning and the one you helped break free should be up and running in no time. By the way, thank you for helping Dolly," she judiciously added.

"I wasn't much of a help. Your girls had so much pressure on that thing I just touched it and it rolled down the hill," I told her.

"I would never argue with the queen," she remarked.

"Keep saying that kind of thing and I'll make you the queen," I teased her.

"Akna would miss you too much Dolly," she wisely replied.

"Ooh, I like you! You don't play fair at all!" I snickered.

"Whenever someone wants me to follow an act like yours, I would never wish to be stuck in a situation where my performance would appear so sad," she admitted.

"Heck with an ounce of common sense and a great team like your girls behind you, anyone could do it," I assured her.

"Unfortunately I do not have your knowledge of Earth to aide me," she begged off.

"You got me there," I acquiesced. "I guess I'd better keep the job for now."

"I could think of none better, Dolly," she assured me.

"I can't either," I admitted, "Damn it!"

My technician started laughing so hard she fell to the ground.

Huichaana looked at the Empress and asked, "Did she just try to give away being the Queen?"

"She threatens to do it all of the time I hear," the Empress smiled, shaking her head, "The problem is no one would ever let her. The people would tear the replacement into tiny shreds and insist on her taking the job back. Wait until you meet the Princess Akna. She was a common lab tech who refused to believe she was saved, so Dolly made her the Princess of the land."

"What a lucky girl!" Huichaana exclaimed.

The Empress laughed heartily, "Don't tell her that. When she was made princess, she had to promise that she works for her subjects and that she must rule, as Dolly has ruled. She tells me that the pressure is unbelievable and for her to rule, the most loved Queen of all time will have had to have died."

"Poor girl," Huichaana declared.

"Akna went from lucky to poor in a matter of seconds," the Empress laughed.

"Well," I loudly stated, "It looks like we have little to do out here now, what say we adjourn to the waste plant and see how they're doing in there?"

Everyone agreed and we entered the facility to meet up with a bunch of technicians milling about, "Did we run into something we couldn't fix?"

"No Dolly, we have completed all repairs and the facility is running, although without anything to process.

"I believe we should all reassemble aboard Heidi, except maybe for Huichaana who could stay if she wishes to reacquaint herself with the place," I directed.

"I believe that would be wise Dolly," Huichaana agreed.

As we were climbing aboard Heidi, the Hauler techs caught up with us.

"Heidi, have you gotten the location for the water plant?" I asked.

"I have indeed Dolly," she replied, "Chaac was most helpful and is anxiously awaiting our departure."

"Is everyone who is coming, aboard, Heidi?"

"Yes they are Dolly, including Ray and I'm certain his partner is totally glad for it," Heidi tittered.

"Did your vessel just make a joke, Dolly?" Chaac asked.

"Doesn't your vessel joke?" I asked innocently.

"Ah... I had a ground vehicle once but it never told jokes," she admitted.

"I'm teasing you, Chaac," I admitted, "Heidi is the very first artificial intelligence to ever attain sentience."

"That is both amazing and frightening," Chaac decided.

"I heard that from Mayahuel as well," I admitted.

"Heidi is sweet and devoted and she knows to be a good girl or she may not get to orgasm anymore," I tried to console her.

"Your vessel orgasms...?" Chaac declared while shaking her head.

"I never orgasm and fly, Chaac," Heidi stated.

"Well, I cannot make that claim," I admitted.

"You can barely go a few hours without orgasming, Dolly," Meka teased, "But it does make for some damn spontaneous parties!"

The Empress filled Chaac in, "When Dolly orgasms, she puts off a scent that makes everybody, males or females, young or old, want to have sex with anything close to hand, but when she has a massive orgasm, everyone with her has one too."

"She must be universally hated by the lesbian brothels," Chaac determined.

"On the contrary, the brothel workers love her and we even have one aboard who earned an evening with the Queen and as soon as the Getaway is back up and running. She'll be spending two week in a target rich environment!"

"You have the Getaway operational?" she asked in amazement, "Moreover, what is a 'target rich environment'?"

"Your Queen has devised a plan to import thousands of earth men and put them up at the Getaway, so that our people can go there and receive sperm injections," the Empress told her and then blushed.

"You tease me, Empress," Chaac accused, "But it is a lovely dream."

"Honey, it's not a dream! Dolly has an Earth consulate there, men are flown in believing they are on a tropical island on earth, and our women train to act like horny girls on an island without men and in seduction techniques to lure men into giving them a semen shot. There are a myriad of reasons this is the best way to handle things. She has even set up the Ōllamaliztli in such a way that the man of honor gets the winner, and if he so chooses he can have them both!"

"That will make the man feel like a king! He'll likely keep both women for as long as they will stay and make every effort to fill them both with his emissions! Queen Dolly is indeed devious in the ways of love!" Chaac exclaimed. "Dolly, may I express my fealty to you and your regime?"

"Not without a big squirmy hug and the blessing of the goddess," I declared with my arms outstretched.

She melted into my embrace, unlike Huichaana, and squirmed back, "A lowly government worker could dream of a night of bliss with a Queen such as you Dolly!"

"Hell girl don't dream about it, experience it! Heidi, add one ticket for our four-hour lezathon!" I requested.

"You're teasing me Dolly...?" she assumed.

Windy appeared next to her and said, "I sure hope you have been in training or we'll have to stuff you full of Life Paste tomorrow, just to keep you alive."

The Empress declared, "I'm only sorry that I won't be able to attend tonight, the doctor has me on rest and recovery for the next two days."

"What happened to you to so deplete your reserves?" Chaac asked.

"I attended last night," she admitted.

"It actually lasts four hours?"

"I have no idea, after three hours I was done!" the Empress admitted, "But I'd sell my soul to attend another one!"

"I've been told that after a couple of months girls build up the stamina to attend more often," I offered.

"How the hell can you attend every night?" she asked.

"The Pea Pod plant made me like this," I affirmed.

"My poor king," she wailed as she hugged me.

"It's not so bad I do have 14 children that I fathered," I admitted.

"That is a terrible loss for Ka'an," she declared, "A male that is so prolific who can no longer supply the needs of our people."

"Don't you know it girl," Meka exclaimed, "My king was so resourceful that he tricked even Windy and made his escape into the jungle, leaving almost no trace! Windy was promising to commit suicide, I was tearing the jungle apart to find him, and the few other males we had were rejoicing at his loss."

"Rejoicing...?" she asked.

"You have to know that he was a force with which to be reckoned," she snickered, "Those other males were losing women to him in droves, they found themselves being required to work out and jog. When the King went missing they stopped working out, knowing they were the only alternative."

"That's too bad," Chaac judged.

"Have no fear, they have begun working out once again, since they are now just a few of many," Meka laughed, "My poor King though I finally found five days later. You know her as Dolly. Her resourcefulness is miraculous, she has out thought the most powerful artificial intelligence ever conceived, but done so is such a way that she dragged it to sentience and she made it love her dearly."

"You got that one right Priestess Goddaughter!" Heidi added. "I should also like to inform you that I have arrived at the waterworks."

"It appears very peaceful here at this facility. Isolated as we are up in the hills above town, I don't know why you wouldn't try to stay up here," Meka surmised.

"I did for quite some time, but as peaceful as it is, it can also become very lonely," Chaac admitted as she made her way off of Heidi.

I heard the loneliness in her voice and hugged her before she could lead us to the facility, "You don't have to be lonely anymore. We may even find you a well hung stud to stay with you always."

"Meka, are you sure that you haven't substituted a ringer for the real Queen? I mean, she knows what everyone wants and...and she gives it to them!" she exclaimed with naked admiration.

"Honey, you don't even know the half of it yet," Meka snickered, "There's a waiting list to join this crew that is three hundred and fifty people deep, and that's only the ones who are actually qualified."

"I am only qualified in water treatment and hydroponics," she sighed. "Once upon a time I was actually selected to crew the starship."

I hollered, "Freeze, right there!"

The poor woman wet herself, but stopped instantly.

"Did you just admit to being an expert who was to crew my starship?" I demanded.

"It was long ago Queen Dolly, but yes, I was being trained to support the hydroponics on Bitol's starship," she stated looking sheepishly.
