Cameron woke to the wet and warm feeling in his groin of someone’s mouth lightly around his glans, not sucking; it was just there holding it like a small babies’ dummy. He looked down the length of his body and saw a familiar reddish brown head of hair that was very soft on his naked belly.

At the first movement the head lifted up and the face turned toward him. As he thought, it was his best friend from school that his mother had taken great delight in slapping that day two years ago. Christopher looked exactly as he did then; still fifteen and his brightly shining green eyes were smiling at him.

With no conscious thought Cameron’s mind was going over all that had happened in the station as he slept. The information was coming in long bursts of hieroglyphs that he could now read as simply as English as the Bio sent it to him to bring him up to date with the days workings.

As Cameron checked his internal clock he saw that he had slept for thirteen hours and as he moved to rise all six of the bodies around him jumped up and with bright sunny smiles greeted him and asked what he would like for his meal. There seemed to be no breakfast, lunch or dinner time it was just meal time. The concept of morning, noon and night did not exist as far as these people were concerned.

A message from the Bio jumped into his head.

‘Besat when would you like to hold your staff meeting?‘

Cameron sent his thought back instantly.

‘Two Setayan, please inform all officers, and Bio?‘

‘Yes Besat?‘

‘I’m going to name you Jason, I don’t like calling you Bio as you’re part of me and vice versa I want you to have your own name.‘

‘I am greatly honoured Besat, I will be the first to ever be named, thank you.‘

‘Ok Jason, now show me the station status.‘

A large picture appeared in the air before Cameron of the whole station and as he thought of a deck it would be enlarged and the coloured dots of the people in that area would indicate what their rank was and where they were at that time. Cameron looked at his intimates standing patiently as he went through the whole of the station, they could not read the picture Cameron was getting as to everyone else except Cameron they could only see a large black space devoid of anything except the figure of their Besat.

Cameron finished his check and then with a thought he had the picture switched off and looked at his six boys.

“Well what have you got for me for a meal?”

Christopher spoke up first.

“Whatever you desire Besat it will be brought to you.”

Cameron had only in the last year started to drink coffee and the urge was now in him to get some caffeine into his system so he started with that and then ran up a food list that would kill three men, six naked and beautiful boys took off in two different directions as he made his way to the bathroom again to freshen up before eating.

When the overlarge meal was done with Cameron waited while his boys dressed him again in a new golden tunic and as they fitted the belt the three dots on his forehead tingled and the personal shield surrounded him as he moved toward the wall behind which his guard waited.

The wall shimmered and Cameron stepped through and took up his place between the four guards as they all stepped onto the mobiles to go to the bridge of the station to hold the meeting.

On entering the bridge Cameron took the central chair and looked around the room at all his officers sitting in tiers in order of seniority.

“Pramdul (greetings) Besat Khamrune”

“Pramdul Millideamian sipi Talimata Khamrune” (Greetings officers of station Khamrune)

Jopty stepped forward as the senior officer and took his place beside Cameron.

“Well general I have reviewed all the information on the problem on earth, as I see it the main trouble is that there is too much power wielded by the people who control the energy and technology sources, is that how you see it also?”

“Yes Besat, that’s it exactly.”

“So we need to take away their monopolies and therefore their power to rule by whatever means they deem fit and bring some order back into the planet and to avoid them destroying it entirely.”

“Yes Besat, what do you have in mind?”

“I’ve been thinking of finding a small country or island with a limited population which will make it easy for us to protect it from any inquisitive eyes and build some factories there to produce vehicles and energy systems for everyone to afford and stop the greed of the few at the top as quick as we can.”

“Yes Besat, how much advanced did you want them to be?”

“As advanced as we can make them without giving away any secrets that will allow the greedy to take advantage of the situation, I will need our technicians to develop a vehicle that is powered by similar systems as we use and then to produce small personal power packs for the homes so that the energy companies can’t compete with us, everything will have to be as cheap as possible so that all can afford them, any money we make can go to some sort of decent charities.”

‘Jason please bring up an earth map for all to see.‘

‘Yes Besat‘

The large scale globe appeared in the middle of the floor which was as everything else on the station very big, being the bridge it covered the same size as three football fields, the globe spun in the centre for all of the officers to see it in detail.

“I’ve thought of one of the smaller islands in the southern Pacific region, like this one.”

The island of Niue lit up as Cameron sent a thought out to Jason to light it up.

“This is the Island of Niue; it is small and has a limited population, if we make sure some kind of employment is given to them, you will find they will be very helpful in keeping the complex safe from outsiders.”

All the officers took special note of the location and isolation of the island and nodding their heads agreed it would be ideal for what was proposed.

“Now General I want the best technicians on this, they have to develop a series of vehicles from one man to family size that use no oils or tyres and they must be able to be made from derelict vehicles that are scattered all over the planet. If we use the same energy source for them as for powering the homes and offices then they will not have to use fossil fuels and thereby take away the power of the men that have been controlling the planet for generations, it also by the use of old wrecks gets rid of the pollution caused by them as they decay. Now I want some other technicians to look at making the desert areas fertile so that we can cut down on the famine and create farming lands for them to use, this will cut out all the corruption that goes on in the so called aide programs to other countries. I think if we can feed more people and keep them happy we will have fewer wars so that should stop the arms manufacturers from making a fortune from other people’s misfortune.”

“Excellent Besat, I will have them start right away, now what about the men that rule countries and make decisions that cause most of these wars?”

“That’s going to be harder; I’m going to have to think a bit more on that as the other technology is developed, but if needs be we may have to take some direct action when it’s needed, especially with some of the more radical dictators.”

“Very good Besat, we will get it underway at once.”

“Thank you General, uhm would you stay behind when the officers have dispersed?”

“Of course Besat it is your wish, it shall be done, Officers of station Khamrune you have your duties you may disperse and go to them.”

The officers stood and with the knife edge salute to Cameron made their way out of the bridge area leaving only those that were on duty there to stay, Jopty looked over at Cameron waiting for him to speak.

“Pull up a seat General, now what do you honestly think, is it too much to try and do?”

“No Besat, I think you may have found a good way of bringing the planet back to a productive and peaceful state.”

“Thank you Jopty, I was a bit scared I might be whistling in the wind.”

“Whistling in the wind Besat?”

“It’s an expression Jopty; it means …uhm like hoping it will happen but not confident that it will.”

“I wouldn’t worry Besat, we have all the technology that you need and if things get too rough we have our troops as well.”

“Yes Jopty but I don’t want to use them unless we have no option; I only hope that the men at the top will see what we are trying to do and just admit that their days are over, but I have an awful feeling that we may have to take some positive action at some stage in the next few years.”

“I agree Besat; greedy men don’t give up power very easily.”

“We will just have to wait and see Jopty, now where should we take the station so that we can be close enough without raising every missile on earth at us?”

“If I may suggest that we go as close as the planet of Saturn as they call it and stay in its shadow we should remain unseen by anything they have on earth Besat.”

“That sounds good Jopty you may set them the course and get underway.”

“Thank you Besat, it will be done.”

Jopty left Cameron sitting there with the open view of the galaxy before him as he went to start things rolling toward earth and the new challenge that awaited them. It seemed to Cameron that it was no time at all and they were setting into an orbit around Saturn, he looked again at the mighty planet below them, its rings showing like a rainbow on a rainy day as they circled Saturn’s equator.

The technicians were making good progress on their development of the needed vehicles and Cameron was sure that in a few days they would be able to start to put their plan in action, he also knew that he would have to go down to earth and begin to make plans for the island and its people.

Cameron had called Jopty to discuss the methods they would use in financing and building the factories and at last they were at agreement about his security while on the planet when a bright flash of sapphire light momentarily sparked in his head.

“Wait a minute Jopty, Jason has something for me.”

The next two minutes had Cameron sitting rigid in his seat in the control room as the Bio fed massive amounts of information into his head for him, Cameron sent via his Bio link.

‘Thank you Jason I will inform the General and we will make a decision from there.‘

‘Yes Besat‘

“Jopty I think we have a problem, Jason has just informed me that the planet has been under the control of the Melecasians for the last 20 Yan (2000 Years) and it is only since we have set our orbit here that he was able to pick them up.”

“Melecasians, they nearly killed your father when he was still young, they are the only race of beings that don’t respect the rules of engagement.”

“You mean the ones about killing Commanders or members of the Grandule?”

“Yes Besat, all other races we have differences with have agreed that Commanders and members of the Grandule are not allowed to be harmed, they can be captured and held for ransom but never killed.”

“But my memories of my father’s tell me he finally defeated them and they were never heard of again, how could they appear here on earth?”

Another sapphire flash went through Cameron’s head as Jason sent him more information about the Melecasians.

‘Thank you Jason, I will pass it on.‘

“Well Jopty looks as though a small number escaped before my father could finish them completely, it must have taken a couple of generations for them to reach earth with the technology they had at that time, Hmm let me see, yes that would be about the same time.”

Cameron again quickly did the calculations in his head to confirm his first assumptions and was not surprised that the Melecasians had possibly landed on earth in the year 0 or more precisely the period before Christ was meant to have been born. With all the other information that Jason had passed onto him and with the technology available to them the Melecasians had begun to take over the world at the same time the so called Jesus Christ had been born and with their advanced technology and machines had been viewed as miracle workers and had begun to move against the ordinary people of earth in a very smooth and quite brilliant way of using religion as its means of control.

Cameron passed on to Jopty his suspicions and how the Melecasians had achieved it so that now they had control of all the acknowledged religions and through that the power over the various countries by making use of the beliefs of the people who could see it as nothing more than “Gods will”.

The insidiousness of it amazed Cameron as he let his mind run through all the records Jason could find for him to view and when he had all that could be found it was so obvious that it was almost too good to be true.

The Melecasians, the one race that could totally destroy him were in fact ruling earth as far as Caucasian or Asian people were concerned, as it turned out, the Melecasians, for all their ability to change their appearance so that they looked like any other human on earth could not copy a person of Negroid decent, there was something in the melamine colouring that defeated their attempts so they had stayed with Caucasian or Asian humans as their models, they also had to go into stasis every year for two weeks to regain their control over the body they were purporting to be, it was the only time they were vulnerable to an attack of any kind as their shields were nearly as powerful as Cameron’s own.

“If all this is true Besat don’t you think we should pull back and rethink our plans?”

“No Jopty, we have to make a stand now before they are too strong for us to handle.”

“What do you have in mind Besat?”

“Are there any other stations we can call on if needed?”

“Not close enough for us to be any use Besat.”

“Ah yes I see now Jason has just fed it to me, Hmm, ok we go as we said before. Jason tells me that the only reason they didn’t know about me being there was the fact my Bio Physic wasn’t open but this time I’m going to have to double shield myself to stop them from knowing I’m there.”

“What about your guards Besat you will have to take more with you for protection?”

“Yes and I want extra troops to guard my intimates as well, I love those boys and I don’t want them to be used against me by being captured, call Colonel Pradam and his second in command please Jopty.”

“Yes Besat.”

Cameron sat and waited for the commander of his personal guard to appear as he ran through the information one more time to make sure he had not missed anything that could help him or his people to bring an end to the takeover of earth by the Melecasians.

“Besat we are at your command.”

Cameron looked down at the Colonel of his guards from his chair.

“Thank you Colonel, our plans have need of a little change, I want you to detail your second in command along with fifty guards to protect my intimates the same as they would protect me, those boys must never be left alone or injured in any way or by anyone. Next I want you to take command of fifty more guards for my personal protection while we are on the planet, the rest of the guards must stay ready and on call at all times. They are to be given the fastest of our fighters if they need to join us down there, if they are called down to help us then all troops in the station are to be on full alert for a possible landing. There are Melecasians down there on earth so we are going to be in a very delicate situation when we land.”

“It shall be done Besat.”

Cameron looked over at Jopty.

“General is there anything else we should consider at this time?”

“No Besat everything shall be as you ordered.”

“Thank you General, then let’s get this underway and we can start to settle once and for all with these pirates down there.”

Without realising it Cameron had been thinking and giving out orders for nearly five hours and now that things were on the move he decided it was time to return to his quarters for a little R&R and a meal that was long overdue.

As Cameron entered his apartments his six boys stood and smiled at him and at once scattered in different directions calling out that his bath will be ready in a moment and his meal is being prepared for him, Cameron smiled to himself and went through to his oversized lounge to sit and unwind as the boys laughed and giggled over their duties.

Cameron had been toying with an idea as to how to get one hundred people down to earth and not be discovered and then as he listened to the chatter and noise of the boys it came to him, it was so simple it could only be as boys being boys, with the guards having to be armed with their batons it was necessary for them to be a part of the group.

He decided they would make a landing in Australia at night and then get transport to the city of Sydney and from there depart to New Zealand and then on to the Island of Niue, the whole time posing as a school group that had won a baton and marching competition and the trip was a prize for winning. It would mean a little interference in the news media to implant some small hardly noticeable clippings in various media that the boys had been their local champions and the problem was solved, the batons could be taken with the guards as a part of their personal luggage.

Satisfied that he had made the right decision for the group he settled back as the boys in charge of his meals came to him with trays of food and sat on the floor close to his feet as they held the food up for him to pick from, the sounds from the bathroom told him his bath would soon be ready and then maybe a little fun to relax with.

Although sitting relaxed and comfortable his mind was still running at full speed with current updates to the stations status and the preparations being made for the trip to earth. It still amazed Cameron that all the time his mind was working via Jason’s link that he never seemed tired from the constant stream of information.

‘Besat it is mostly information that is stored in the part of your brain that has been opened up in stasis so it is not a drain on your strength, the part of your mind that was working when you were on earth is still the part that handles your normal living. The 70% that was opened for you is like a computer storage vault so that you can call on it anytime you need it, as you have seen if it is important then I send you an alert via the flash of light you got earlier, the blue light as you have seen is for emergency information.

Red is for imminent personal danger, yellow is for danger to the station, a white flash is for psychic danger which the Melecasians are very adept at and was the reason your father nearly died when he began to rid the galaxy of them. He was in stasis for 5 Metayan to recover as the Melecasians are very strong mentally and we have not yet found a positive way to be able to stop them, your personal shield will protect you to an extent and I can boost that from here as well, the guards will use their batons energy to add further to that but you will still be in very real danger if they try to get to you through those means.‘

‘Thank you Jason, that fills in a couple of holes for me now.‘

‘Thank you Besat.‘

Cameron sat back and thought over this new information and realised that if he was not careful and did not plan properly his life was not going to be for very long or the lives of his station personnel. A shudder ran through him as he thought that his life could be over before it began with the Melecasians so close, his father’s memories came to the forefront of his mind and he could see through those memories just how dangerous the opposition could be. He shuddered again and then indicated to his boys he was ready for a long hot soaking and would not say no to some company as he did so, the boys all smiled as they began to undress him and themselves in readiness for the coming bathing.

“Ok boys you go first so I can watch those butts wriggle in front of me.”

Cameron stirred from his nap taking in the familiar yet strange surroundings as the past few days caught up with his senses, his six boys were sitting around patiently waiting for their Besat to come to consciousness. They had pampered him in his bath and then stayed with him as he drifted off into a light doze as the pressure from the task of running his huge station had caught up with him.

While he had slept Cameron’s mind had raced on unabated putting together plan after plan for the return to earth, and now he was again alert it all seemed to drop into place and he smiled to himself as he saw the outline of it all.

Cameron rose from the bed still naked from his bath with all his good bits standing erect as is normal for a 17 year old, the boys smiled at him as they began to dress him but not before a slim young blonde that Cameron remembered last seeing on earth working in a fast food dispensary and had had a sudden rush of lust for as he was handed his cheap meal one night from the boy, he was about 16 years old and stood 5’6″ tall, very slim but with an outline of developing muscle under the thin uniform shirt of the dispensary, his lips were deep red and slightly moist as though he had been wearing a type of lip gloss, the eyes were a piercing deep blue and had gone straight through to Cameron’s libido making his old baggy jeans tent out in front. Now the boy was here.

When Cameron exited his apartments and emerged into the hall where his guards stood patiently waiting for him, he noticed that they all now moved around him with the batons at full extension like a spear ready for any attempt from a now known enemy, even in the protection of the station they were still alert for anything that the Melecasians may try.

Cameron alerted ‘Jason’ as he moved toward the bridge for all the officers to again form for a meeting to finalise all the details for the coming return to earth, Jopty was the first to greet him with a knowing smile after seeing the slightly flushed cheeks of his Commander.

“Pramdul Besat Khamrune.”

“Pramdul General, are all officers assembled?”

“Yes Besat.”

“Ok good, now I have come up with a full plan for our return, the basics you already know. General I want you to get our best communications people to infiltrate some of the main newscast stations on earth and plant the story of the school marching team like we discussed, then we need to organise three large buses to meet us at Ayers Rock in the Australian desert for 10.00am local earth time tomorrow to pick the troops up. Find a small company that will be only too glad of the business, any questions they ask just tell them that we are flying in to see the Rock at dawn but want to be bussed back to Adelaide to catch our flight to Sydney, we are going to use a transporter so I want my flyer to be kept in readiness here just in case it’s needed.”

“Yes Besat.”

‘Jason, produce a visualisation for the officers so that General Jopty can go over it all with them.‘

‘Yes Besat‘

The large area in the centre of the bridge shimmered as Jason produced what appeared to be a living image of Ayers Rock and the surrounding area for the officers to look at.

“The transport will land here on the Northern side of the Rock, we are less likely to be seen by any night watchers there and the Rock is big enough to hide us from prying eyes. Once landed everyone is to behave like a lot of young school boys on an outing, don’t look like a troop of guards is that clear? I realise that it will be hard for the guards to relax but we must appear to be having fun and not a force of invaders.”

“Yes Besat”

“Now General we have to do something about money; it would seem strange for us to be going around the country without a credit in our pockets, I will need you to synthesize credits for us to use until we can set something more permanent when we have landed. Each person must have at least 100 credits in their pockets, you have seen the clothes I was wearing when you picked me up, I want you to see about producing something similar so that we will blend in, you can tap into the local Vid networks on earth today and get a good idea of the young guy’s fashions; nothing to extreme General just try to make us look like any other teens on an outing, casual but not too old.”

“Yes Besat.”

“Next we will need accommodation while in the city of Sydney until our flight to New Zealand so you had better arrange that as well, some small hotel that will accommodate 107 school boys for one night, not too fancy General we are only school boys from a country town with not much money to spend. Right the following morning we fly to New Zealand, we need to get a flight out of there as soon as possible for Niue, hopefully the same day, so try to work something out there as well General.”

“Yes Besat.”

“Now I’m sure there will be a credit bank on Niue we will have to have an account opened in a company name so that we can draw on it for our venture. I don’t like to cheat but there’s no other way we can do it so you will have to get into their computer system and set up a line of credit for 10 million credits that will be used to obtain the needed land on the island and to start to pay the people there for their help.”

“Yes Besat, have you a name for your company?”

“Yes General, I thought about using the name of our home world but the Melecasians would soon wake up to that the same as if I used my father’s name, so I came up with a good old earth name to try to keep us hidden as long as we can. It will be called, “Niue Neutron Electronics”.”

“Excellent Besat, we will have everything set ready for you to begin, the construction of the factory will only take two earth days and we can gather a lot of the needed scrap vehicles during those first two nights to start the production, if you would care to come with me after the meeting I can show you the transports and the power plants our technicians have developed for the production line.”

“Thank you General, I’m interested in seeing what they came up with. Right now General that’s all I have so you can set out the duties for the officers and get them onto it, I want to be ready to leave in ten Setayan.”

“Yes Besat, all will be ready for you by then.”

“Thank you General Jopty.”

Cameron watched as the officers discussed the plan and the parts they would play in it then as he sat back and relaxed again a small blue flash went through his mind.

‘Yes Jason?‘

‘Besat, I have just intercepted a vidcast news item that may be of interest for your venture.‘

‘Ok Jason let me have it.‘

The instant pictures of the newscast ran through Cameron’s mind as Jason fed it to him as it was seen on earth, the five major fossil fuel companies along with three major car companies and seven power suppliers had joined together to form a worldwide conglomerate and therefore a total monopoly of transport and power supply to the whole of the world, they could now control all supplies and prices as they deemed fit; the ordinary man and woman on earth was now at the mercy of the conglomerates.

‘Thank you Jason.‘

Cameron heaved a sigh of relief at his decision to go ahead with their plan, it was just in time to break up what would amount to being total control of earth by the men behind the conglomerate, suddenly a thought hit him.

‘Jason?‘

‘Yes Besat.‘

‘Can you trace the members of the conglomerate and find out if any Melecasians are involved.‘

‘Yes Besat, I’m sorry I should have thought of that aspect before.‘

‘It’s ok Jason; let me know as soon as you can.‘

‘Yes Besat.‘

Cameron sat back to await the information as the the officers now filed out of the control room and Jopty joined him on the control dais.

“Well Jopty, looks as though we may run into the Melecasians sooner than we thought if my suspicions are correct.”

“How so Besat?”

“Jason just fed me some information about a takeover of all earths transport and power supplies, I have a feeling it is the first of the Melecasians total takeovers.”

“So you think we may not have as much time as we first thought Besat?”

“Yes Jopty, I think this is going to be a lot tougher than we thought, if the Melecasians are this far along with their takeover we are going to have to move quickly and be ready to fight if we have to.”

“Everything will be ready when you want it Besat.”

“Thank you Jopty.”

“Now Besat would you like to see what the technicians have developed for you?”

“Yes Jopty, lead the way.”

The two left the bridge and headed down a corridor that Cameron had never used although it was all in his head in the form of a perpetual map but it was different when seen in real life, the immense size and distances were not conveyed on the maps he had.

The mobiles set them down outside a smooth wall and as he stepped forward the wall dissipated and the two boy/men walked into a laboratory the size of a large stadium on earth, the first thing Cameron saw was the sleek looking vehicle on the centre of the floor, it looked like a low slung racing car without wheels, its outer skin was shimmering in the overhead lights with an almost lethal look about it.

“So Jopty tell me about it?”

Jopty called over a young boy who looked about 13 years old but Cameron knew he was more like 100 years old.

“Besat, this is the single passenger vehicle, it has a speed of four hundred earth kilometres per hour, all the safety systems in it will be keyed to the owner so no one will ever be able to take it without his permission. We have also added full security systems so that he cannot have an accident or will be hurt while inside the vehicle, the power pack will last two earth years before needing recharge from a prime source that will be the units over here that will go to the house holds for power supply. These power plants will regenerate their own renewal from the ionosphere without need of servicing.”

Cameron looked again at the sleek little car and the power packs for home use with astonishment, the car was the same size as a roadster and the power packs were no bigger than a small knapsack with all six sides being smooth and with no openings or hatches to enter.

“How do they get on for selecting a colour for their vehicles, earth people like to be independent when it comes to their vehicles, they like to show their own personalities in them?”

“They can select any colour or combinations of colours and feed it into their consoles, the vehicle will adjust itself to their needs, we have installed a small computer system for each vehicle and the owner will have a wrist mounted relay to carry with them.”

“Thank you for all your good work Technician, I’m very pleased with your efforts.”

“Thank you Besat it has been a pleasure for us all.”

“Well Jopty, they’re a bit more advanced than I thought they would be but it’s too late now, when the Melecasians see them they’re going to know something’s up.”

“Yes Besat, but we will shield the factory and your presence for as long as we can and hope that they are too worried about their control with the conglomerate falling apart so we can get a lot of the units out and then it will be too late for them but I’m afraid it may come to a fight sooner or later with them.”

“Yes Jopty you’re right as usual, mind you that gives me an idea.”

‘Jason?‘

‘Yes Besat.‘

‘How long would it take you to create a super computer that we can take down there and advertise it as a new design computer for the use of modernising the technology of earth? It can’t be too advanced we don’t want to wake up the Melecasians just yet but far enough advanced to be seen as a new wave of technology that may keep the Melecasians from jumping us before we have things up and running.‘

‘Three Setayan, Besat and I will have some designs for you that can be built with existing technology on earth but will give a better output.‘

‘Fine thank you Jason set it up then please.‘

‘Yes Besat.‘

“That should do it Jopty, Jason is going to design a computer to take the creation of the new power packs and cars on, as though it was just invented, it should give us a breathing space while the Melecasians are running around trying to find out what’s going on.”

“So confusion may do the trick instead of force Besat?”

“Exactly Jopty, now let’s get back to the bridge.”

‘Jason, would you inform my intimates that I would like a meal on the bridge please?‘

‘Yes Besat.‘

By the time Cameron and Jopty got to the bridge Cameron’s boy, the young Asian was standing there patiently waiting for him.

“Besat you would like a meal?”

“Yes Choi, will you get something hot for both myself and general Jopty, we will eat in here.”

“Yes Besat, who would you like to serve it for you Besat?”

“Well I think you and little David, ahm, General do you have an intimate that you would like to serve you?”

“No Besat, intimates are for your use only.”

“Oh yes Sorry it was in my head all the time, Choi ask Peter to come as well to attend General Jopty.”

“Yes Besat.”

Choi took off at a run to do his duty as Jopty turned toward Cameron.

“Besat that’s very kind of you to offer one of your intimates to me.”

“It’s my pleasure Jopty, I wouldn’t have got this far without you, I think you deserve something special, would you like the boy Peter to stay with you in private until we are ready for the landing?”

“You would allow that Besat?”

“Yes Jopty, it’s the least I can offer you for all your patience and help.”

“Thank you Besat but it is after all my duty to you.”

“Yes Jopty but I think you have done a lot more for me than you realise, I’d like to share with you to show my gratitude.”

“I can but accept Besat, the honour will never be forgotten Besat.”

Choi returned with the other two boys carrying trays of hot food in their hands and began to feed the two boy/men sitting on the bridge, while Choi and David, the young boy from the railway station, smiled and handed food to Cameron Jopty with a smitten look on his face was fed by Peter the tall slim redhead, Cameron could see that Jopty was totally taken with the boy at his side and smiled at the thought of the two of them together, a small idea crept into his mind as he watched the pair.

“Jopty, do you have a partner?”

“No Besat, when I was chosen for this station my partner could not come with me.”

“What about the others on the station Jopty?”

“Most of them are life partners Besat, it is the way, but with myself it is different.”

“How so Jopty?”

“My duties are too onerous to have a partner with me Besat and also it would not be good for command of my position to have him come with me.”

“Well I feel you should not live alone Jopty, you like us all need the company of another.”

“Yes Besat, but it was the decision of the Gandule.”

“Then I feel you should have a partner Jopty and as Commander I would like to offer you one of my intimates to be with you if you so wish it.”

“You would allow one of your intimates to be with me Besat, that is indeed an honour far above my station.”

“I don’t think so Jopty, without your help I wouldn’t be here now, who would you like to accompany you from now on?”

Cameron smiled to himself knowing full well who Jopty had his eye on.

“Besat by your command and with your approval I would like to be tended by this boy Peter if you agree.”

“Jopty by all means I agree, I can see you are taken with him and by the look in his eye he has taken to you as well.”

“I am truly honoured Besat.”

“Then it’s done. Peter from now on you will attend to General Jopty as though it were myself agreed?”

“Besat it is your wish and my desire to attend to the General.”

“Good that’s all settled now whats for dessert Choi?”
