The Boys of Colony Theta Ch.04

"Up against the wall?" Danny asked as he attempted to clean himself up. Fortunately, only a few drops of urine had got onto his clothes, the rest had dribbled onto his testicles and down the inside of his legs.

"I take it your mistress has some scolding rings in her riding room?" Robson asked.

Danny remembered the metal rings attached to the wall of Rebecca's riding room.

"Erm... yes." Danny replied, only that morning his mistress had mentioned spanking him up against the wall and Danny suddenly realised what she had meant.

"Yeah, well they're for scolding you on." Robson said bitterly.

"Scolding?" Danny asked.

"Scolding basically is any kind of disciplinary punishment that requires you to be held in place. Sometimes they just chain you to the wall and just leave you there to think about what you've done for an hour or two, and sometimes they'll spank you with a scolding paddle."

All women were expected to be responsible for their male's behaviour, both in the home and out in public - it was seen as shameful for a woman not to be in control of her male. To accomplish this, the use of corporal punishment, or 'scolding' as it had come to be known, had become commonplace. The United Global Council imposed strict guidelines however, which stipulated what kinds of punishments could be meted out and what could and couldn't be used to deliver them. Any form of whip for example, was outlawed, as was anything that was spiked or delivered electric shocks in any way. Only government-approved disciplinary items were allowed to be used on males. One such device was a scolding paddle - a flattened paddle made of either wood, metal or stiffened leather. Blows could only be landed on either the buttocks, inner thighs or the back of the legs, and a maximum of 100 blows was permitted for any single transgression.

Robson explained about scolding to an obviously shocked Danny. He was surprised that, in his four months since he had been discharged from the breeding colony, that the young male hadn't been scolded by his mistress on at least one occasion.

"Surely, your mistress must've scolded you at some point!" Robson said as he led Danny back up the steps towards the reception desk, "They love any excuse to mete out a bit of punishment."

"Well, the only time my mistress has spanked me was when I was caught watching TV without her permission. It's a long story about how it happened but all she did that time was spank me across her lap." Danny said, recalling the occasion during his first week with Rebecca and her daughters when he had spoiled the dinner because of his eavesdropping on one of Rebecca's Vidifone calls.

Danny explained how his first, and thus far only spanking came to happen.

"You mean you hadn't even been inside the riding room?" Robson asked, appearing to be somewhat shocked, "I remember the very first thing my mistress did once she got me back to her house after she picked me up from the colony, was to have me in her riding room and had me on her wall and she spanked me before I even had a chance to take a proper look around the place!"

"Why the hell would she do that?!?" Danny said aghast, "Isn't there a law against that? I mean, you hadn't done anything wrong, had you?"

"She just wanted me to know who was boss from the very start." Robson said, "As far as I know, there is no law against spanking a male for no good reason, just as long as it doesn't contravene the actual code of punishments."

Danny was speechless at what Robson was telling him.

"Oh, don't get me wrong." Robson continued, "My mistress is a decent enough woman and she wouldn't scold me nowadays unless she had a good reason to. Trust me Danny, I know being caged by your mistress seems cruel but from what I've heard about her from you it sounds to me as though you have landed on your feet. There are far worse mistresses out there."

"I guess." Danny sighed, "But why are the women allowed to get away with treating us males like this? Surely there must be someone somewhere fighting for change!"

"Well, if there is then they're doing a very good job of keeping themselves out of the gaze of the authorities." Robson replied, "If there was any form of male resistance movement out there it would've been smashed by the Enforcers and government forces years ago and its ringleaders most probably executed. Maybe there is an underground movement out there somewhere but I'm afraid to say it has slipped under my radar."

Danny returned to his desk with his mind full of unanswered questions. One of which was whether or not Robson knew more than he was letting on.

His ride home with Virginia once he had left work had been a nightmare. A technical fault had meant that the hovertram they were supposed to have caught had broken down and they later discovered that the entire system had ground to a halt. Instead they had to summon a taxi-pod, but what with the sudden demand for transportation it was over an hour before one of the little driverless vehicles finally whirred to a stop before them. The traffic on the way back was also hellish and it was getting on for six o'clock before they finally arrived home.

Danny fretted that since he would be late getting the dinner started that he would be punished for it. Robson's words from earlier that afternoon, about women needing little to no excuse to dish out a spanking, still rang in his ears.

"Stop worrying about it Danny!" Virginia said, trying to calm him down, "Mother wouldn't punish you for that - she's not like a lot of other women out there. It's not your fault that we're late, it's the stupid hovertram network's fault!"

Virginia was right, when they finally arrived back in the apartment they were greeted by a warm hug from Rebecca rather than any form of admonishment that Danny had been fearing.

"I'm just glad the two of you managed to get back okay." Rebecca had said once she had taken down Danny's leggings and underwear to remove the chastiser from his penis. She then dispatched him to his room to finish undressing and then to the kitchen to get the dinner started. He felt a blissful sense of relief as his malehood was finally released from its titanium prison, although almost immediately the realisation that he would be back inside it the following day tempered his joy at his release and brought him crashing back to Earth in an instant.

"All hell seems to have broken loose out there - the entire hovertram network has ground to a halt!" Rebecca continued once Danny had returned, now completely naked and he started preparing the evening meal.

"Well, I wouldn't say it's as bad as that." Virginia replied, "Just a damned inconvenience that's all."

"Well, nevertheless I'm just glad you made it home eventually!" Rebecca said.

Once they were all gathered around the dinner table, Rebecca made an announcement to Danny.

"I shall be going on a business trip next month Danny, and I would like you to come with me."

"Yes, My Mistress? Where are we going?" Danny replied.

"Only up to Newcastle for a few days, it'll be pretty boring I'm afraid but I was thinking you might like to visit the plague memorial."

The National Andrasta Plague Memorial had been erected on the site of the largest burial pit that had been used in Britain during the height of the plague's devastation. It had become a site of pilgrimage for males up and down the country. Mackenham pit had once been an opencast coal mine that had supplied coal to several coal fired power stations in the north east of England. Following its decommission it had remained as a scar upon the landscape, however once the severity of the Andrasta Plague had become apparent and the numbers of bodies began to pile up, Mackenham pit, along with several other opencast mines and quarries dotted around the country, had been pressed into service as burial pits. Day after day, truckloads of male bodies and the ashes of those that had been cremated arrived at the site, tipped in unceremoniously in their hundreds. The scale of the disaster was unlike anything anyone had ever witnessed.

The area was eventually covered with a layer of rock and topsoil once the plague had run its course, and all but the few males that had been rescued and safely sealed away from the disease in a hastily converted underground mine, had fallen to the deadly outbreak. A national competition had then been held to mark the spot with an enormous memorial, dedicated to the eternal memory of the billions of men and boys across the globe that had died from the Andrasta Plague.

"Yes, My Mistress - I would like that very much." Danny replied.

"Excellent, I shall book a nice room for us." Rebecca said, "There should be enough to keep you occupied in Newcastle while I shall be working. There are plenty of museums and galleries for you to visit - and plenty of shops of course. I'll give you some spending money for you to treat yourself."

"Thank you, My Mistress - that sounds wonderful!" Danny said.

"Well, I know having to wear a chastiser has come as a bit of a shock for you so I think it's only fair to do something nice for you to show you that I'm not a horrible ogre." Rebecca said as she finished up her meal, "That, and of course to thank you for your exemplary obedience at the showroom yesterday."

"I would never think of you as an ogre, My Mistress." Danny said politely even though it wasn't entirely true, "I accept now that you only have my safety from other women in mind and I am truly grateful for your concern for me."

"You're a good boy Danny, I truly am glad that you are a part of my family." Rebecca replied.

The Long Arm of The Enforcers

It was a Saturday afternoon and both Eve and Virginia had accompanied Danny to the city centre. It was Rebecca's birthday the following Tuesday and so the three of them were in town to choose a suitable birthday gift. Eve had bought her mother a small painting from a gallery belonging to a local artist. It depicted the sunset over the moors to the northeast of the city. Centuries earlier, those same bleak and forbidding moors had achieved notoriety as the chosen burial ground of two child-killers who disposed of their young victim's corpses under the soil of the heather-clad hills. Today however, they were hailed as a pristine beauty spot, a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Danny had chosen a silver plated wristwatch and had had it engraved with Rebecca's crest on the back.

Virginia's gift however, was a little more different and required Danny's assistance. It was a 'Lasersculpt', a type of machine-made sculpture that used a laser scanner to create a perfect replica of any object. The scanned object was digitised and would then be milled and sculpted by a laser-sculpting machine in any medium from wood to marble and even precious metals. Danny's input was to be the model that the sculpture was to be based on. Needless to say, and much to Danny's annoyance, it required that he would have to pose in the nude.

"I want it to look like one of those Ancient Greek sculptures." Virginia had said to the scanner operator whilst Danny undressed, "Something really classy, like a discus thrower or a runner."

"A very good choice, Sister." The scanner operator replied, "And what sort of material would you prefer? Since it is to be an Ancient Greek style, some kind of marble would be my recommendation - we have some lovely pieces of Italian marble just come in last week."

"Sounds nice, but isn't that sort of thing a bit pricey?" Virginia asked.

"Well, it would be if you were after a particularly large sculpture, if it was no bigger than 45 centimetres then we could do it for you for just 800 credits. And the Italian marble is quite exquisite for the price, utterly flawless and as white as driven snow." The scanner operator explained.

"Okay then, 45 centimetres it is then." Virginia replied, "What do you think Eve? A nude sculpture of Danny as a Greek athlete would look lovely on the pedestal in the dining area, don't you think?"

"I think it would be lovely." Eve replied, "Although wouldn't the scanner pick up the mark on his bottom?"

"Ah, that shouldn't be a problem," the scanner operator interjected, "I can set the scanner so that it ignores it so that in the finished piece the skin on his buttocks is uniformly smoothed out."

"Well, that settles it then." Virginia said, and then turned towards Danny, "Are you ready Danny?"

"Yes, Mistress Ginnie." The now naked Danny replied politely.

He stood there totally naked except for the glittering titanium chastiser on his penis. Virginia unlocked it and removed it and set his penis free, albeit temporarily.

They had him stand in the middle of a circular device that filled an entire room at the back of the studio. The scanner operator had positioned him into a suitable pose to look as though he was about to throw a discus, even though he had nothing in his hand. The discus, the scanner operator explained, would be digitally added later on.

"Would you like him to be depicted with an erection?" The scanner operator asked, "It's not strictly in keeping with the Ancient Greek style but it's always fun to see a boy with a hard cock."

"I think mother would like that." Virginia said, "She often tells me how she enjoys seeing Danny hard. This way she can see him hard all the time!"

"Good, that settles it then." The scanner operator beamed, "Would you care to do the honours, Sister?"

Virginia took up the scanner operator's invitation and stepped into the scanner enclosure. She spent several minutes stroking Danny's penis and bringing him towards a satisfyingly full and aesthetically pleasing erection.

Once the scanner operator indicated that she was happy with Danny's erection, she spent a few more moments to manoeuvre Danny into the final pose before they all then retreated from the scanner enclosure and into the room next door where all the control equipment was located.

"Okay Danny, just hold perfectly still for the next 30 seconds." The scanner operator said over the intercom into the room next door, "Keep your eyes closed until I tell you. It might take us a couple of attempts before we get a good enough scan, but hopefully all this won't take long. Okay, here we go, in 3... 2... 1..."

On the count of zero the scanner came to life, slowly rotating around Danny's naked body as he maintained his pose as best he could.

"My word Sisters!" The scanner operator said once the machine was in motion, "He's a very pretty little thing isn't he!"

"I guess he is rather." Eve replied as she observed Danny posing naked through the window into the scanner room and on the monitors that displayed his image from many different angles.

The scanner operator zoomed one of the cameras right at Danny's erect penis so that it filled an entire screen.

"A cock as nice as that makes me wish I could afford to have a male of my own." She said wistfully as she focused on Danny's engorged organ and then surreptitiously hit a button in order to take a still image for her to keep in her personal 'rogue's gallery' of all the penises she had seen throughout her employment at the laserscuplting firm. "A weekly ride on a Consort is the best that I can afford on my salary. I mean sure, Consorts usually have bigger cocks but just to have one all to yourself must be really nice. How long have you had him?"

"Just over four months now." Virginia said, just as the machine came to the end of its cycle.

The scanner operator scrutinised the image of Danny that now rotated in front of her on a holographic screen.

"Hmm... Not bad for a first attempt." She said, and then pressed the intercom button to address Danny, "We'll just take a couple more scans to be sure Pretty One. Just keep still for a little while longer."

"He belongs to our mother." Virginia continued once the scanner operator set the machine in motion for a second time, "But she shares him with us on a rota system so that we're all properly serviced by him."

"I'll bet he looks wonderful tied down on a riding bench." The scanner operator mused.

Another couple of attempts later, during which Eve had entered the room to re-stimulate Danny's penis to prevent his erection from subsiding too much, the scanner operator seemed happy enough with the results. She instructed Danny to leave the scanner room and to rejoin them in the control room where he could be put back into the chastiser and for him to put his clothes back on. Everyone, save for Danny himself who had found the whole thing to be mortally embarrassing, gasped in wonderment as first the raw holographic scan, and then a fully rendered impression of the finished product rotated in three dimensions on the holographic screen before their eyes. The discus itself, and a roughly hewn pediment upon which the image of Danny's nude form stood, had been digitally added and the whole thing resembled a perfect replica of an Ancient Greek statue.

She had informed them that the laserscuplting machine would take a couple of hours to produce the finished sculpture and that they could pick it up later that afternoon. With nothing better to do during that time, they headed back to the city's main shopping mall to get something to eat.

Danny had seen women in dark blue uniforms several times before during his excursions into the city centre, but it was always from a distance. He assumed they were police officers and paid very little attention to them. But it was the sudden look of concern on Eve's face as a pair of blue uniform wearing women appeared to notice Danny's presence and started to head in their direction.

"Shit! Don't look now Ginnie, but I think a couple of Enforcers are heading our way." She said to her twin sister.

"Enforcers? Where?" Virginia asked.

"Over there." Eve said, nodding in the direction of the approaching officers.

"Is there a problem, Mistresses?" Danny asked.

"Erm... hopefully not." Eve said, trying her best not to alarm Danny, "They probably just want to scan you."

"Scan me, Mistress Eve?" Danny asked.

"The chip in your neck." Eve explained, "Just to confirm your identity and to make sure that your owner knows where you are."

"Good afternoon Sisters." The older of the two Enforcers said as she stopped before Danny and the twins.

"Can I help you, Officers?" Virginia replied politely.

"We'd like to carry out a routine scan and a couple of tests on your male there." The senior officer said in an officious manner, "Does he belong to you?"

"He belongs to our mother. We're just out buying her some birthday gifts." Eve said.

"Very good. I am Senior Enforcement Patrol Officer McLeod and this is my junior, Enforcement Cadet Cooper." The senior officer said, introducing herself and her junior to the twins, "I am training her how to carry out routine stops and examinations. Could you follow us please, Sisters."

"Erm... sure." Virginia replied.

The two Enforcers beckoned Eve, Virginia and Danny to follow them. They took them towards the back of a large clothing store. The cadet carried a case with her that contained the equipment they would need to conduct the examination.

"What's going on, Mistress Ginnie?" Danny asked, "Have I done something wrong?"

"It's nothing Danny." Virginia replied, trying to reassure Danny, "They just want to carry out a couple of tests and ask a few questions, that's all."

"What sort of tests?" Danny enquired.

"I don't know." Virginia admitted, "I've never been in this position before. All I know is that if an Enforcer says she wants to stop and check a male you have to let her get on with it otherwise we could all be arrested."

"What for?" Danny said.

"Failure to comply with a request from an Enforcement officer for a routine stop and exam." The younger cadet said, who had obviously overheard the conversation.
