There’s a song that goes ‘What a difference a day makes’ well if that’s true imagine what a difference eighteen months makes.

Like a lot of others I got my CAP just after I turned fourteen. It wasn’t a bad score 7.1, considering things.

I mean I was fourteen and I’d started a growth spurt just after turning thirteen, I was awkward and uncoordinated, not comfortable in my own skin and with no self confidence. My score was really carried by my intelligence, I mean I’m a straight A geek.

In the following eighteen months several things happened to me and my family that led to my retesting my CAP.

Firstly I started to grow into my body and more comfortable in my skin.

Next dad disappeared, taken in a Confederation extraction. What really hurt about that was he didn’t take my younger sisters as dependants. Suddenly I was man of the house.

I guess now is as good a time as any to tell you who I am, Rob McGregor. Son of Craig (the prick) and Mary. Younger brother of Jayne and older brother to Jenny, Karen and Samantha (Sam), all under fourteen.

But the biggest impact of my life was what my family call ‘The Incident’.

It was a purse snatch in a crowded park in broad daylight, the victim a pregnant mother, the perpetrator a drug addict. The thing was when the mother (Margaret) screamed I was the one who reacted and went to her aid. Also after tackling the guy I took control of the situation, getting police and ambulance, making sure the thief didn’t get away, seeing to Margaret and her children.

Being in a situation like that, changes a person. Standing in court, going toe to toe with the defence attorney and not backing down, had more impact.

Because of all this, I became a minor celebrity. A number of the girls at school wanted to show their appreciation for my actions. Luckily, I had started practising with Jayne. She’d taught me how to ensure my partner enjoys my attentions.

Another thing that happened, after dad left, was the realisation that Mum and my sisters were submissives. Where I had sat back and let everything wash over me, previously; I suddenly discovered Mum needed guidance and help, making decisions for the family. I had to take over.

Just before my fifteenth birthday I realised Mum needed a lover. But, I didn’t trust the men out there to do right by her. So, I took on the role. I discovered just how much I enjoyed being a dominant lover, much to both of our satisfaction.

I was freaking out about how my sisters would react. They acted like it was the most natural thing in the world that I would also sleep with our mother, and call her Mary. Jayne was also a constant companion and I would often wake to find one or more of the others had joined us during the night.

All of these things led to my having more confidence, being more decisive, and being more protective of my family. I became more assertive with my life, and had a strong sex drive (having to be dominant and meet the needs of two women you love can do that, I guess).

So it came about, that I retested for my CAP, at the start of the Christmas/summer holidays after my fifteenth birthday.

The result was a CAP of 9.3, my scores increased in all of the areas where I’d grown as a person.

To celebrate, we were going to the local mall for lunch, and then we were going shopping. I don’t know who this reward was for; me, or my sisters, all of them were with me and Mum.

I suppose having three incredibly beautiful Amazons follow you into the food hall should have prepared me for what came next but no, I was still surprised when the grey curtain fell.

An unbelievably tall woman stood in the centre of the food court, and gave a speech. She explained that this was a Confederation extraction and asked that the following named people come forward.

I don’t know if it was because we’d just walked into the area, or if it was something to do with my having just tested, but my name wasn’t called out.

I looked at Mum and Jayne.

“Do you guys want to go?” I asked.

They both nodded their heads.

I walked up to the nearest Amazon.

“There appears to be some mistake.”

“What?” the woman replied.

I handed her my new CAP card and said “I think my name should have been called.”

She took the card put it in a reader and seemed to talk to someone (an AI, I later found out). She handed me back my card.

“Yes, you’re right. My name is Corporal Harris, the Lieutenant has been informed that your name has been added to the extraction list. Do you require any assistance with you selection of concubines?”

“Actually that would be very helpful. Thank you very much.”

She called one of the marines to her and said “This is Private Koskov. She will answer any questions you may have, and will assist you with your selection.”

The corporal then turned her attention back to trying to restore some order into the mayhem happening around us.

I then noticed a number of girls around me had stripped and were offering themselves to anyone who the Lieutenant had named. Small orgies had broken out in a number of spots with no regard for those in the vicinity. And it wasn’t only young girls, it was also mothers with children in tow, chasing after tickets off planet, for themselves and their children.

I looked at Private Koskov and put out my hand “Please, call me Rob” I said as I smiled.

“And you must call me Anna,” she replied with a strong Russian accent.

Looking around at what was going on, I had to ask, “Is it always like this?”

Anna looked around and said “Sometimes. Mostly we do more targeted extractions. But extractions like this one are to get numbers up. They always end up in ... as the Americans would say ... a cluster fuck.” She smiled at me as she added “So, what do you wish to do for the Confederacy?”

I really hadn’t given it much thought, then it hit me, I love chess, the planning, the strategies, the tactics. I wanted to plan the combat, military planning, I wanted to be a naval officer.

“Well I want to finish my education and then join the Naval Academy and eventually become a tactician. Hopefully, one who can organise better extractions than this cluster fuck,” I laughed.

“And hopefully more successful battle plans as well. Yes?” she looked into my eyes.

“Yes, and if there’s time, save the planet,” I thought wistfully.

Anna handed me a card reader and said “So now you must pick your concubines, Ensign McGregor.”

I looked at her quizzically.

“Your wish to join the Naval Academy has been noted, and you have been given the provisional rank of Ensign,” she said smiling at me.

“Please just call me Rob, Anna. Outranking you this quickly would be too much to take!”

We both laughed.

“So, Rob, have you any ideas as to who you wish to take with you.”

“Yes. First off, both my Mum, and my sisters” I said and pointed towards Mary and Jayne.

Anna looked at them, and then me.

“Rob, it’s noble that you wish to save your mother and sisters, but how are you handling the thought of having the sex with them...” she must have seen something in my eyes, for she added “Oh. You are having the sex with them. All right, but what of telling your mother what she must do. You must understand she will be nothing more than your slave, for the sex, and all the other things?” again looking into my eyes, she added “Oh, my. So this is okay. Ladies, if you please be giving your CAP cards? Thank you.”

“Rob you have your first. Now you have six more you must be picking,” Anna reminded me.

“So, Anna, what would you recommend?”

Anna read the two cards she had been given.

“Your mother, she has very strong nurture skills; but, she is also very much the submissive. Okay she is having trouble running family. Your sister she very okay on all scores, also, but not strong for the running of the family. You be needing a top bitch; one to be head of family, when you not there. Also, many women too many for one man. You need other man to help you in sex. How you feel if the other man be fucking your mother and sisters?”

“Honestly, I haven’t thought about it. I guess as long as I find him all right to be part of my family, I can live with it” I said nodding as I thought it through.

“This other man, he must not be dominant, as you must be only one that heads family. He must not be aggressive, no. He must be good parent, and protect family, also” Anna recommended. “Also, be remembering ... the looks, they not be so important. You can be changing them, on ship. It be the person that be important. Can they be endure what they must become: a slave?”

“Okay, then; a strong woman to look after the family when I’m away. and another man to help with keeping the women happy and repopulating. But neither can usurp my position as head of the family (I like that word ‘usurp’). Let the hunt begin!”

My first three picks were almost right in front of me. Tegan was the school’s ‘go to girl’, and organiser. She worked in the school’s office, and I’d seen her stand up to people who scared the shit out of me, when protecting her students. However, she seemed plain and lacking self confidence, in normal situations.

I walked right up to her put out my hand.

“Card,” I said more than asked.

She reached into her bag and handed it to me, and I handed it to Anna.

“What do you think?” I asked Anna.

“Your choosing of this one is interesting.”

“I know her from school. She almost runs the place, single handedly. She looks on the students as her children, even though she can’t be more than thirty. Also she can get things done like no one I’ve ever seen. I think she could get an orgy going in a cloistered convent” I said, smiling at my analogy.

“Yes, she is very good choose, for being look after family when you away. But is she heading family, or would they being walk over her?”

I looked at Tegan “So Tegan do you think you could look after my family when I’m not around. Are you strong enough to say ‘no’ when you have to?”

I think Tegan was in shock, she just nodded her head.

“Do you want to get off this rock?” I asked her, and again she nodded.

“Do you have any children?” again a nod, but this time with two fingers held up.

“Good go and stand over there” I pointed to my family.

“You be wanting test drive before you be making choose,” Anna advised me.

I hadn’t even thought of that.

“Tegan” she turned “Strip.”

She looked around I don’t know why she was uncomfortable but she needed some prompting. Jayne whispered something to her. Slowly she undressed then I understood, she’d had a mastectomy and was missing a breast. Mary took her into her arms and hugged her.

I walked to her and said “Don’t worry you’ll be okay. Would you like to have sex with me?”

Again she nodded.

I looked around and noticed the looks of disgust aimed at Tegan. It pissed me off but now I knew the reason for her hesitation. I kissed her and she melted into my arms. I ran my hands over her body and found she was very sensitive to the touch. In the meantime she worked on my pants trying to extract my now hard cock. I placed my hand over her pussy, she was as wet and as hot as a tropical swamp.

“That’s all right, sweetheart. We’ve got plenty of time to discover each other. You can put your top back on if you feel uncomfortable, but only if you feel uncomfortable” she donned her top, but didn’t worry about replacing her fake breast. I kissed her forehead.

“You are good man, Rob,” Anna said to me as I wiped away a tear.

I saw Jayne had been joined by two of her friends: the twins, Krystal and Skye. They were obviously asking why Jayne wasn’t trying to get picked up, and she was pointing at me.

I remembered playing with the twins when we were younger. Then their parents were killed in a road crash, leaving them and their younger siblings with their ill grandmother. She sent them to boarding school, as she found it difficult to look after them on a daily basis.

I liked the twins, but they had a brother, Brett, who was my age and a real piece of shit. I was to find out he hadn’t changed.

“Rob, Brett is one of the volunteers today, but he won’t take the twins. He told them they could go fuck themselves and die with their Grandmother, for all he cared. Can you do something? Pleeease” Jayne asked.

The twins were nice people, so I wanted to help them.

“Girls, can you please strip?” I asked.

They looked at each other, then Jayne then me pleading.

“You know if you come with me you’ll be my virtual slaves don’t you?” they had matching expressions of shock “If you can’t do this simplest of things for me what will happen in the future when you have to do something you really don’t want to do?”

Krystal or was it Skye, I wasn’t sure, said “Please we’ll do it. It was just a bit of a shock. Boys usually aren’t interested in our bodies.”

I had to admit they were ‘pretty but plain’. They were also late in getting their curves.

When they were naked, I looked at Jayne. I saw an expression of displeasure.

“All right, Jayne, join your friends. Get naked,” I said, and that shocked her. “Hurry up, Jayne. Private Koskov wants to see and she hasn’t got all day!”

That should put her in her place.

Once she stripped, I hugged her and the twins.

“Welcome to the family, girls. Thank you for making them feel more comfortable Jayne.”

I kissed her cheek.

“Rob, can we ask a favour?” the twins said in unison, (some ‘twin thing’ I’ll have to get used too).

“Sure.”

“Well, Nanna has got cancer, and can’t really look after our younger sisters. Could you somehow take them, too?”

“How old are they?” Anna asked.

“They’re all under fourteen” came the reply.

“And they are your responsibility?”

“Yes, I guess they are.”

“How old?”

“Megan is thirteen and Mel is ten.”

I looked at Anna, and she seemed to be listening to her headset.

“Are they at the mall?”

“No, they’re at home with Nanna.”

“Rob, how do you feel about taking on two extra children?” Anna asked.

I looked at Mary, and then at Tegan. They both nodded.

“Yes, we’ll take them,” I answered Anna. “How will your Nanna feel about losing you all?” I asked the twins.

“She’s been hoping we’d somehow get someone to sponsor us, and take our sisters. She’s really sick. She has someone nursing her all the time. She only has a few weeks to live, if that.”

They were both crying. I thought about the grand old lady I once knew, and a piece of grit somehow got into my eyes, as they started watering.

Mum (for that’s who she was just then) gave me a hug, and wiped my tears away.

I had more work to do. Next, another male.

I wandered through the crowd, looking for an appropriate candidate. I checked the cards of several and rejected them. Most thought I was gay, wanting a male playmate.

There were a number of couples in the food court at the start of the extraction. Many had broken apart trying to get picked up as individuals, with some, one of the partners was making unacceptable demands. I saw one couple where the husband was trying to tell the sponsors what he expected in return for fucking his wife. The last group were couples that just wanted to stay together.

Steff and Tom were part of that last group, they sat together at a table with three young children the oldest no more than five at a guess. I could see they were scared about being split up. I suddenly have visions of slave auctions with families being torn apart at the whim of a new owner.

“Cards, please,” I asked.

Steff looked at her husband and I heard, “You’ll be able to save the children,” she got her card and handed it to me.

I just stood there with my hand out, “Card, please.”

“Look, I’m not into that stuff,” Tom said.

“Good, neither am I. Now I won’t ask again: card please.”

I got both cards. and read them. I then looked at Anna, and she nodded.

“It should work.”

I looked at the young couple.

“My name is Rob and my CAP means I get to select nine concubines. Now, I’m only human, so keeping nine women satisfied would probably kill me.” I let what I said sink in. “So,” I looked at his card, “Tom, how do you feel about me fucking your wife? Do you think you could be in the same room with us, while I’m having sex with,” I looked at her card, “Steff? And while I’m fucking Steff, do you think you could fuck one of my other partners? And Steff, how would you feel knowing Tom will be required to help look after the needs of seven other women?”

Steff looked up at me and said, “Rob, we’ll do whatever we have to, to stay together. We thought we would need to split up, just to save our children. To be able to stay together? We never thought that would be possible.”

“Tom I need you to know that I will be head of this family. You won’t be in charge, even when I’m not there. There can only be one alpha dog in a pack, and I’m that dog. Any desent after we leave here, and you’re out the airlock. Do I make myself clear?” I looked very intently at Tom.

I could see him shaking “Yes, Sir.”

“The name is ‘Rob’, and as long as we understand each other, we will get on just fine. See that group of women?” I pointed to my growing family, “take your wife and children, and join them.”

“Thank you Rob” Steff said, and hugged me.

“Don’t thank me, yet. I’m told I snore!” I laughed.

As the family headed off Anna asked “Why you no test drive your new women?”

“Let me ask you something, Anna? How much of the day do you spend having sex?”

“I not know, for certain. With man, less than one hour ... if at all. With Natasha, one hour ... more, when possible days,” she answered.

“Anna from the cards, I can see how sexual the people are. It tells me all I need to know about them, sexually. It’s how we are going to mesh together as a group when we’re not humping. That will determine how well we’ll go as a family. Recently, I’ve discovered I have a knack for reading people. I think the people I have chosen, will work pretty well together. Also don’t forget, I already know five of the women,” I said.

Anna nodded.

“Now for my last two.”

“No you only have one to go.”

“No two.”

Anna was getting angry with me “You have CAP 9.3, you get eight concubines.”

I smiled at her just to piss her off “Yes, but this is an Australian extraction.”

“So.”

“The government here some how made a special deal with the Confederacy. We get an extra concubine. So I’ve still got two to go. I think the wording of this part of the agreement goes: ‘Any volunteer involved in an extraction within Australian territory is allowed to choose one additional concubine over and above their CAP limit’. Is that right?” I kind of asked nobody, hoping the AI would reply.

Anna looked shocked as she said “The AI has confirmed this is correct.”

Volunteers near by that hadn’t realised that they got a freebie, quickly began reassessing their choices.

“Anna, may I ask what is your CAP score?”

“6.9,” she mumbled.

“So, you currently have a limit of two concubines. But seeing as you’re currently involved in an extraction within Australian territory, by rights, you can choose one additional concubine.”

That very quicky grabbed her attention “You mean... ?”

She seemed to be listening to something.

“The AI has just confirmed that technically, by the wording of the agreement, you are correct.”
