Chapter 12

Peter Pan, well Eric anyway, meets Wendy and his shadow is reattached.

When Peter Pan and Wendy meet for the first time, Peter was attempting to reattach his shadow to himself. Since soap failed to glue his shadow back onto himself, Wendy offers to sew his shadow onto Peter with a needle and thread. Peter crows at his reunion with his shadow and Wendy sulks as Peter acts as if she had nothing to do with it. But when Peter tells her that “one girl is more use than twenty boys,” Wendy is so excited by his compliment that she offers to give him a kiss. So Wendy gave Peter a thimble to represent her kiss to him, and Peter gave Wendy an acorn button as a kiss in return. Each wore the symbol of love and friendship on a chain around their respective necks.

After much sole searching Eric made his decision. He wasn’t much like his Grandfather/Father he thought to himself. His Grandfather/Father could not remember ever being born, or young, or ever even being really old for that matter. According to his Father, he might as well call him that he conceded to himself, he had always been middle aged, or just like he was now for thousands of years. Maybe he was a new chapter of this tale Eric told himself.

Of course it was distressing to learn that his own Mother, Linda Macman, was really another one of his own Father’s many daughters produced from his many incestuous matings over at least 1,000 years. He was born from that incestuous mating that Wendy kept track of. Well actually Father and Wendy established a breeding program and there were still over 300 women of childbearing age on the list to be done by Father right now Eric learned.

In Eric’s Mother’s case Eric learned that Wendy had ported her up to the ship and Grandpop used a triger to re-hypnotize her. After Father fucked her, of course him and Wendy used the word inseminated, Wendy scanned her and determined if his sperm had hit it’s target. If it had she was ported back down to her own bed. In the last several hundred years this had become SOP (standard operating procedure). Father complained that sex had become too much like work, just another job to be done.

“Wendy port me onto the bridge or whatever you call it. We have a lot of work to do and I need to get started. Eternity waits for no-man and all that rubbish, ha, ha. We might as well get started. Have you made up the crew list yet Wendy?” Eric asked.

“Yes, we have Eric.”

“WE” Eric questioned.

“Yes Eric your Father and me have made up the list of crew, but you still have to do your duty to the Breeding Program and the 300 women...” Eric broke in on Wendy’s prepared speech that he had heard before.

“Wendy what is MY relation to these women. Your the record keeper on this “Breeding Program“. Wendy have you ever heard of the “Six Degrees Of Separation Rule.” It’s the quint idea that all people are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other. It’s also known as the 6 Handshakes rule. As a result of the rule, a chain of “a friend of a friend of a friend” statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. It was originally set out by Frigyes Karinthy in 1929 and popularized in an eponymous 1990 play written by John Guare. It is sometimes generalized to the average social distance being logarithmic in the size of the population.” Eric waited for Wendy to respond.

“Yes, Eric I have heard of the this rule, but the Breeding Program is still of paramount importance Eric. Monica and Sharon have both, without any outside influence on our part I might add, requested to be impregnated with your child. They believe in the Program.” Wendy reminded Eric.

“But ALL these women are directly related to me damn it. These are my real sisters Wendy. How...” Wendy broke in.

“As I have already explained to you Eric I monitor the mothers, all the mothers, with my nanobots from the time they conceive till the baby is born. Any defective genes are removed long before the baby is born. There is no chance that a lethal recessive gene could ever be passed down from either your Father’s or your DNA with my screening Eric.”

“But Wendy the next go around will be me and my daughters, then me and my granddaughters, then my great granddaughter, and on and on, and all my direct bloodline Wendy. Where dose it end Wendy?”

“As we told you Eric it’s necessary. Your Father had the same moral reservations when he started the Program 1,000 years ago in China. Your Father was a War Lord at the Battle of Langshan Jiang (Wolf Mountain River), where the Wuyue naval fleet under Qian Yuanguan defeated the Wu fleet. Qian used flame-throwers ignited by gunpowder fuses to burn the Wu fleet. It took you Father 1,000 years to successfully breed you Eric for those rare genes that allow you to direct me the Ship, and you to be immortal like him. We all especially Sharon and Monica have high hopes that their sons will inherit those same genes from you. That your bloodline will breed true and you’ll be able to pass on those genes to your children. Most of this 300 waiting right now would fight to breed with you right now if they knew this Eric.” Wendy told Eric.

“Yes, yes, but that’s another thing, these women have been hypnotized and brainwashed by my Father.” Eric pointed out to everybody.

“Oh, get over it Eric. They love what we, you too Son, turn them into. Monica and Sharon aren’t less they’re more of everything. They love what you’re turned them into Son. Get over it, and you’ll love it even more when Monica and Sharon start helping you seduce your own daughters...” Eric broke in.

“That’s sick Grandpa...” He exclaimed before both his sisters cut him off.

“But true never the less Eric.” Monica and Sharon both put in.

“Eric you’ll remain young, but we’ll get old and eventually we’ll die. You’ll have to face that fact sooner or later Eric. How better to guard our secret and our children than to make sure they are just like us.” Monica told Eric.

“You would enslave your own daughter Monica?” Eric was shocked.

“No Erica if it is a son like we want, even plan for, I would want to be enslaved by him when he came of age, well matured anyway and carried the gene, but if it’s a daughter, which your Father says is more likely, I will bond her to you like I’m bonded to you Eric.” Monica finished.

“One day all our sons and daughters will be able to operate the Ship and be immortal like you and your Father because of the Program. One day there will be hundreds of ships just like Ship because of the Program Eric. One day all our sons and daughters will be immortals because of us and our sacrifices Eric.” Sharon put in.

“Yes, the future will refer to the sacrifices we made for the Program, but to us that are here now living this dream it is no sacrifice at all. For us it’s the best life we could have possibly asked for.” Monica and Sharon finished up together.

“Are you now ready to fulfill your duty to the Program Eric?” Wendy the Ship asked again. He had discovered long ago that the Voice in his head was due to an implant in his brain put there by Wendy’s nanobots years ago.

“Ok, since I appear to be the only one with a incest taboo problem bring on the harem 300. How are we going to do this Wendy?” Eric asked Ship.

“As you said Eric your Father has already hypnotized and brainwashed these women. Most of them are happily married and have been trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for a while now. Unknown to both the wife and husband my nanobots have been keeping her from getting pregnant. Your Father would have me to port her up to me and then just drape her over the couch and fuck her. He even quit using the hypnosis to make it a pleasant experience for them. As you already know he actually refers to it as he inseminates them now. To him it’s become a job now Eric. After I confirm the swimmer has indeed met the egg and it is viable I ported her back down to her bed. Because of her prior hypnotic programing she has a pleasant dream and discovers she is pregnant days latter.” Wendy explained Grandpop’s style.
