Chapter 39

The next week between more of my class one type home construction, I took some of the latest shipment of computers and installed them into my second habitat. More games had been added and some ideas came from the security detail that tried to find any bugs. I worked my best to get the persons name into the game so he could tell everyone that he helped make it.

Some of the simpler games had targets flying across a wall and a heavy gun fitted with a laser shot at the target. If it was hit it would fall; if not it would carry on. Mind games would be popular and I made many geometric puzzles that would have to be destroyed or stacked correctly to work correctly. Most were time dependant and it was easy to get addicted to these.

I brought the family down and had them play the simpler games with little or no violence. Sofia was the one that surprised me by being the most bloodthirsty even if she used to be the most shy.

My now honest gangsters were asked to attend one of the meetings at the arcade. During the first moment of a game three shots were actually fired as the frightened men thought that they were being attacked. With little damage really done they took out the laser weapons and decimated most of the electronic predators fighting them.

I tried the erotic chess game, pitting Mr. Akutagawa and Mr. Ayugai against each other. A flip of a coin determined which side represented my beauties and which side represented my brawn. The naked male characters on the board preened themselves, showing muscle and even the large one between their legs. The female characters were naked too and tried to be indifferent to the male characters. When the game began Mr. Akutagawa played the female characters and the females used his name often to get their turn to move. The two genders on the board were constantly doing lewd acts, gestures or calls.

The male characters demanded that Mr. Ayugai play them first. Headgear was the only way to know the players chess piece. The game had to be stopped many times to allow the spectators to wander onto the board so they could walk through the phantom pieces so they would know they were not real. When everybody was at least a little satisfied the game began in earnest.

If a male piece entered a female's square, they would engage in various sexual acts and the vanquished piece would disappear. Mr. Akutagawa was a better player or perhaps he could separate his mind from the action before him but the women would trounce their male opponents more often. In the final move the victorious queen squatted on a very well endowed rook and sent him off the board for a true 'mate'.

Mr. Akutagawa came to me later and asked, "May I invite some of my richer friends down here? With some of my girls handy, business should be brisk."

I smiled at his idea and had to suggest that he open a brothel closer to the arcade. The idea did occur to me that a sex arcade could be opened after the technology became well known, as long as my name was not on the business.

The two weeks were up and I went back to a much more subdued meeting with the automaker. I went right to the many cars and found them very close to what I had wanted. Some changes had been made to suit their stamping mills but all were acceptable. Night had fallen by the time the verbal portion of the meeting was over and we got into the cars and went around the track that was used to test cars. The vehicles were fast and very responsive.

The majority of the executives were actually happy that the vehicles were made to spec because the vehicles responded better and they felt the safety rating was much higher. When we were done talking I went out to the car I drove and brought it to a workshop. Here I brought out another device, some tools, a few other exhaust parts and some new duct work.

I took one car in particular and without asking opened the hood and started to unbolt some parts to make room for my additions I brought. I connected it to the exhaust system and the air intake. Some parts were not able to put back or I had brought replacements. I changed a few settings and asked Mr. Hanabusa if he would get in the car with me.

We went around the track once at a regular speed then stopped and asked for us to be timed. I turned around to gain some room and then turned back and stopped. The pedal was thrust to the floor and the car accelerated much faster laying rubber stripes on the road in all gears. This had not been done before. When we got to the starting line we were already at sixty miles an hour. Our trip around the track was so quick that the man trying to time us had forgotten to push the button on the watch.

Mr. Hanabusa had been frightened by the speed but after a short time saw that I was in complete control of the machine and began to relax. "We seem to be travelling much faster than before, Sir Shawn."

"We should be doing 149 miles an hour. If the track were straight we should get to four more miles. With some modifications, I could get this engine to give us twenty more. Are you interested in a larger engine to get over 200?"

"I don't think so Sir Shawn. My old bones have difficulty taking this speed."

"Would you like me to slow down so you are more comfortable?"

"No, please continue."

When we pulled up to the group of executives they didn't move for a few seconds thinking the vehicle possessed. When one did start, the rest did too. They were all clamouring for information. I simply said, "Look under the hood. The turbocharger has been around for over fifty years and I just put it in here to see how well it worked. It may be a great selling point because it cuts down on fuel a bit and gives a dramatic increase in horse power. It is a little slow to catch up though and would be better suited to travelling where the speed does not alter much."

I had thought for a while of fitting such a device to the diesel engines in the trucks and the ships but knew that the bearings would need regular maintenance and would not get this attention as an aircraft or a race car would. Cooling though would help a lot to keep this sort of maintenance to a minimum. The benefits would be enormous in fuel savings on this type of engine. It was all a matter of suitably impressing the owners of this needed maintenance.

They wanted to go back in and talk more. I had to bring them up to speed on the dynamics of such a device. Its advantages were obvious but the drawbacks were not given the same amount of attention. I had to re-emphasize these latter points and tell them the cost of repairing or replacing the units at their expense when their eventual breakdown occurred from poor maintenance. A race car though could use this equipment and even perhaps a way of chilling the air after it was compressed so even more could enter the engine.

Mr. Hanabusa asked the important question. "How much will your improved invention cost us?"

"No money at all. I do want your patents and your minds though." I paused a bit for effect then, "I will supply all the radios to this company. Mine are much better and will cost more accordingly but not too much. I will remove the points in the distributor in a few years and the new electronic modules will be purchased from me. As new electronics comes into the vehicle, I will supply it. After three years of supplying any particular part you can call for tenders and if you can find a better part cheaper you may do so with my blessings. The final request will be hard for you to swallow. Your culture and to a lesser extent the rest of the world sees women as weak and submissive."

"If I am able to satisfy you on our first agreement I will gain the first ten percent. My wife Mary will sit with me and be my voice when I am busy elsewhere. She will vote the next ten percent too when you find my electric car so appealing."

Nothing much was said but the latest request was indeed hard to swallow.

I left much later and was not too sure how the directors of the company would react. I had assessed each of them but they would interact and then some point would be stressed. Innate bias against a 'round eye', a woman and a neophyte would enter into the calculation. To predict what would happen was even too hard for me.

It was three in the morning but still early for me but I got into bed with Sofia and Liz. Sofia immediately turned and held me to her as her mind responded to my presence even if she was asleep. As her leg came over me I just positioned myself and rubbed the smaller head on her opening until she was able to painlessly engulf me. She started to come around as her pelvis was slowly stroking me.

"Oh Shawn you're back." She had to pause as some particularly good feelings travelled through her system. "I missed you. Hold my shoulders and suck my nipples. Ohhh ya, like that." The bed moves slowly but soon Liz was wide awake too and rubbing her clit. It was still a little tender from the way Sofia had sucked on it but that was of little consequence now.

Liz reached in a side drawer and took out two phalli. She quickly coated the larger and put it between her legs. After a few satisfying strokes she stopped and coated the smaller one. She wiggled a bit and got behind Sofia and slowly inserted it into the girl's rectum. It was stroked just a bit then inserted all the way. I could feel the hard lump through the thin membrane between both passages.

Sofia was having such enjoyment that she did not care what was done to her. When the unit started to hum softly then increase in amplitude she did respond. Her hands came to my head and her slim fingers wrapped in my hair and she squeezed as a different orgasm passed through her body. She grunted then let a long drawn out groan pass her lips. When she recovered she released my hair and held the pillow under my head.

Liz started to put her finger in Sofia's anus and pushed on the plastic phallus and then pulled the unit back on the cord only to push it back in. With me working on Sofia pleasure centre she had no choice but to spasm hard and even trap Liz's finger as her body shook uncontrollably.

Liz turned off the device but left it where it was. I moved Sofia's unresponsive body aside and climbed over Liz's waiting frame. I slipped in as if I belonged there. Her legs came up and wrapped around me and pulled me in when she felt me thrust. In then minutes she had three orgasms and I had one.

I kissed her sleeping face and covered both of the girls up with a sheet and moved to the other bedroom.

Juni was awake with Rachael. In the next room Mary too was awake but alone. She had her menses and preferred it that way. I pulled back the covers over Juni and she just spread her legs wide and welcomed me with her arms. With my first slow push Rachael too woke up and looked at us. The moon shed light through the window and she could easily see each of us. She kissed me with her had around my neck to ensure that she got what she wanted. In a minute she pulled back and smiled down at Juni then descended to kiss her lips then travel to her breasts.

My thrusts remained slow but my angle changed to stroke the portions she wanted done. I pulled Juni's legs up and put them over my shoulder and she picked up her pelvis to help. Rachael had more room and her had slid down Juni's body and stroked the small bump that was being rubbed by my cock as it entered her opening.

With one hand I pulled Rachael's hips closer and worked my fingers at her openings. Both girls were really getting aroused now. My mind inserted the finger into her opening now that her guard was down. She started to catch up to where Juni was and both rocked in step with me. When they were close I sped up and increased the sensations coming to them. They both orgasmed roughly together but I continued my motions.

With Rachael laying on her side I started to thrust with renewed vigour into Juni. I held her orgasm back but increased the sensations going to her till she started to plead with me for release. Her body could take more so I kept on for another minute before giving both of us what we wanted. Her strong muscles contracted and held me so tight that I knew her bones and ligaments were under a lot of strain. All of a sudden she just collapsed with a sigh. I bent over and gave her a parting kiss and pulled out.

Rachael was watching and waiting as I laid down behind her and slipped in with her legs closed. She bent at the hips more to give me the most room and I began to saw into her opening. With my mind I worked on both lower orifices and she too started to orgasm until she collapsed in my arms.

When she settled into a more natural sleep I pulled out to her small groan of loss. I covered her and then walked around the pad and closed Juni's legs and covered her too.

I walked to Mary's room and saw that she was waiting. She had gone to the washroom and used a douche and then returned. There were three towels under her rump. The women all wanted sex and the time when they would normally miss out bothered them. They didn't want to hurt my sensibilities but needed the reassurance I gave them. The only solution I could come up with was to have all of them no matter what time of the month they were on. As wives they felt obliged to do as I wanted and hid behind this fact as they too wanted this to happen.

Mary wiped herself and placed the slightly damp paper in a small waste basket. "I have been waiting for you Shawn. Do I still have to?"

"Yes, you have to. Your husband's carnal lusts are just too much for you." I kneeled between her legs and held her head as I kissed her lips. My member found its way unerringly home. She gave a sigh of contentment and started to respond. Mary was not as turned on when she had her menses but I did my best to overcome this problem and soon she was calling my name incoherently as she thrashed on the pallet. After this orgasm I made tender love to her from the back and we both fell asleep together with me still inside her.

When morning came I pulled out of my woman and plugged up the opening with my insubstantial finger. The coverings were pulled back and I picked Mary up and carried her to the washroom. She came to her senses as the warm water hit her lower body. She looked around indifferently and saw my face. "Good morning husband. You can put me down now."

"I guess I could but I like you in my arms." She pulled her face closer and she gave me a tender kiss to show a little of how much she loved me. I did put her down and then I started to wash her. As she knelt I started to shampoo her hair and she decided to suck me as she waited. Her hand and her tongue only moved. Soon I had to stop and hold her head as she like it as the shivers went through my body. In a moment I continued to wash her hair and then got her up after rinsing and gave her a thank you kiss and did the rest of her body.

When she was done, she went downstairs to make breakfast for the entire family. Things had changed in the last year and a half. The women in the house rotated duties. Kochiyo and Maeko were more like wives of Juni's father and so were treated differently now. They still worked hard but had to share some of their previous responsibilities with the other women. I did some work around the house too and still loved to cook.

With Mary starting breakfast I went into Sally's room still a little wet and started to tickle her foot. Her foot came away and I followed till the other foot tried to push the antagonist away. She came awake slowly as she usually did and opened one eye. When she saw me she said, "Good morning Daddy. She stretched a bit and she released a small amount of gas and smiled as she bent her face away from me.

"Get up Sweetie. I will give you a hand in the shower if you want."

She did want and pulled the covers back and stood up. With only a small look at my member she took my hand. We walked together to the washroom and I cleaned her for her day. She still tried to use her body to 'accidentally' touch me. I always let her have these small accidents but hoped that over time she would see me more of a father and less as a potential mate. Nori and some of the other boys were over here a lot at my urging. They played with Sally even though she was a girl and she seemed to enjoy the company.

I dressed Sally and tickled her feet again then carried her as she squirmed downstairs. When she was put down she ran to Kochiyo and Maeko calling them their name preceded by mommy. Her own mother got the name 'Mommy Mary'. Mary didn't like the term because she figured she should be the one and only mother but let it ride when she saw how it helped the other women.

When Morie came in she ran to him calling "Grampie" and was kissed by the older man. He had a tiring night but enjoyed the attention of his 'grandchild' nevertheless. She was escorted to the table and sat with the men and then the women to have our morning repast. It wasn't long ago that Juni was the only one allowed to do so.

"Shawn, an Arab company wants to look at the tanker. They must be fairly interested because they are sending over a dozen people to go over how it is built. The president is coming too. Can you speak Arabic too?"

"Yes, if I am not around just call and I will get to you. I am not going to the airport again to get anyone. We give them the red-carpet treatment and they only want to steal our ideas."

"This may be different but I agree with you."

"I gave the auto company my turbocharger and I think they will accede to my demands. I think General Motors is planning something along the same line as what I am doing. Perhaps we can get to market sooner."

"That's good. Those old men don't bend very much and it takes a lot of force to get them to change any of their old ways."

Looking at Mary I said, "How are your companies doing?"

"We took advantage of a few government incentives and got a contract to build three more cement plants on Hokkaido. Some exciting and profitable new ideas to go with them occurred to us."

"Tell me about your plans."

"Juni is going to sell me one of the pieces of land. It is near the clay that we need and seaborne transportation. I have already signed a proposal to purchase. The cities that need our product are putting together a plan to issue a common bond. We will in effect get a zero percent loan covering all three properties for ten years. Juni and I worked out that it will have been easily paid for by then. That is the time you wanted to start a rotating maintenance schedule so that you can refurbish all the cement plants we own.

"One of the smaller machine shops is not at capacity and could be working on some of the smaller parts. I wanted to talk to Mr. Hitomi here about a contract to use his rolls and men to fabricate the dryers and mills. There will be just enough excess capacity for our own cement plants to supply us with our own building materials.

"The furthest area has a fairly consistent river nearby that could supply alternate electrical power and I have made up a proposal to dam a small stretch and generate our own power until our own generating stations come online. We are very near a high voltage corridor and we can sell our excess very easily. We could also purchase but the first way is profitable.

"When your electric cars become popular we can set up a quick charge stations and have a convenience store to bring in some extra cash. There is more than enough traffic to warrant this expenditure. The other two areas have little extra at the moment to sell them. Our own power could be used for quick charging with the amount of traffic but the cost of transporting surplus power will be prohibitive.

"Long term prospects for all three are excellent and towns or at least suburbs could be set up in each area. Our emissionless process will allow high density building and a ready market for our power and products.

"I have already drawn up plans for integrating all three areas into our rail system. One site has a block of properties next to our proposed plant. It is presently listed as for sale. Sofia and Rachael are working on a proposal to show you. They want to make a large amusement park. They asked me to get your feeling on the matter first." The girls in question simply bowed their head and kept quiet while Mary talked for them. "They say that they will need an initial outlay of ninety million American dollars. An additional investment of only ten will see the park running till it gains profitability. They and the rest of us believe we can get at least twenty percent return on our money per year till competition in other countries attracts foreign tourists away. Disney had opened a park in Anaheim, California six years ago and after a rough start had made the park a must-see for any family with young children.

"By that time much of the boom will have past and we can safely demolish the nearby cement plant or as I suggest make it resemble a particular theme in the present planning. We just remove the equipment and shift the capacity to other plants.

"Liz came up with the idea of putting the Japanese terminus of our space link at this area too. Actually her vision has merit. People will come to see cargos travelling to space and stay for the park. Juni has more suggestions and you should hear them from her."

Juni was unaccustomedly shy and said, "I want to build large hotels based on themes from the park with a monorail taking visitors to various areas. The nearby ocean could support yachts and even a small port if you provide an adequate break wall. We could make a large area exhibiting marine life.

"Your glass is very strong and with rubber gaskets in many places would be safe to make giant tubes that would carry visitors under the water and allow them to see the local fauna. We have heard of some areas in America having large pools with captive animals. I was proposing a series of pools so large that they are almost free. This portion of the park will only bring in fifteen percent on the money that other areas will bring."

She added after a pause, "The start up cost will be much higher too and that was why I was hesitant about bringing it up. You may have to design and build large ships to harvest the oceans. The seafood will be sold for a good profit. Your figures show that the present population will grow immensely. The poorer choices of fish can be ground into fish meal to be given or sold very cheaply to the third world. The offal can be packaged and fed to the inhabitants of our marine exhibit."

I thought on their words for a while and saw that they had indeed put a lot of thought into these proposals. Mary and Juni had a thick sheaf of papers using sound accounting principles why we should continue. They had not given them to me yet but were prepared to if asked.

"How will this impact on our cash flow? Will partners be needed or should the park go public?"

Mary answered first, "We looked at the prospects for your dividends in the new automotive market. You should bring in twelve million a year to start and a further fifteen selling parts to the company. If they can be convinced to go electric sooner then the prospects are even better because we make the motor, control systems and the energy cell. We might even be better to make our own cars. Your other business ventures will not be impacted, other than some positively as we purchase supplies and services from them."

The girls had worked on projects before. They had given reports like this to with Morie present but this was the first time he actually realised the intelligence and remorsefulness of his daughter and my wives. These were a little upsetting for he was raised to think that women were not capable of doing this without leaving their femininity behind. The noises coming from the rooms when I was absent suggested that this may be a reason. To think that his daughter and the rest had changed into men was very disheartening. A small part of his mind fought the trend by saying that women down through the ages had done that sort of thing when their men were unavailable.

Other ideas came flying through his mind at the mention of the large fishing boat. This seemed to push the distasteful idea of woman's sex from his thoughts. The image his daughter gave reflected the one he had nourished all these years but had never found the possibility of interesting a buyer in. With his new son in law he knew that the possibility of building a ship like this was much greater.

"Shawn, I don't know about the rest of the proposal but I like the idea of harvesting from the sea. We can process all the fish onboard and with large diesel engines we can make giant freezing units. Small ships are so ineffective and dangerous that I think we should build one or at the least make plans for them."

"I think you are right and so are the girls." Turning to the rest, "Did you run all the criteria through the computer?"

Mary answered again, "Yes we did and I downplayed the figures consistently to be safe."

The next day in my very private workshop, Morie phoned, "Come over Shawn. The Arab wants our newest ship and is ready with a cheque."

I put the large aluminium flange I was working on back on the floor and drove over to the yards. Morie was easy to find and I saw him with a short dark man of about sixty. Abdel Assad was the president and manager for a Saudi prince that had decided to ship the oil his family owned. It was a profitable sideline and was a way of using some of the large amounts of money the state produced.

When I climbed to the deck I waited and was introduced by Morie. I replied in Farsi which the man spoke very fluently. Arabic was the main and official language of the country but Abdel Assad had come from Iran as a boy and preferred this language. There were three others present and I addressed them in Arabic and asked what they thought of the ship.

We got superlatives to no end but it looked like this time it may indeed mean a sale. We discussed additional equipment and saw that the price was not that important to them. I stressed the safety equipment for the ship and for the crew more than most would. I explained how our radar was better than most military units and that I had a simple sonar that would give depth soundings all the time. The expense of the double wall was stressed because it was a major cost and I didn't want petroleum to be released into the oceans or as had happened onto a beach or a fishing ground.

With my new turbocharger in mind I talked about the efficiencies and power of the diesels when my new modifications were added in a few weeks. The man though was not worried because oil consumption was what he was in favour of. I stressed as much as possible that the bookkeeping would show how efficient the ship was and how much this would reflect on the president.

We produced records of how the 'Juni' was doing as evidence. I mentioned that the next time she came in we would install the turbocharger on her to along with the cooler. A computer was also considered because I could see the engine one day reaching an efficiency of fifty percent.

The men left to converse with the prince and return the next day for more information. When they finally left I told Morie what I thought and found he thought the same about the sale.

We walked over to the main office and I took the draughting board and drew up the plans for the additional equipment. On the maintenance schedule I made sure the unit was to be serviced regularly. Morie took the plans and then looked at the detailed plans of the turbocharger itself and said, "Who will make this?"

I thought and saw how I could juggle some jobs and get one of my shops to make a few of these units. The ducts could be made by others as could some specialty clamps. When the list was made I gave it to Mori and called some of my shops to tell them to finish the present job but start on the new job I was going to give them next.

I dropped the prints off to the shop and went back to making more modules that would be needed in space.

Next week we sold the ship. The prince himself came to see the purchase and to meet me. In his country the term Prince was only used in the cadet members of the family while His Royal Highness was the approved method. Here the term prince was denoted for people in line for the crown but that was not the way in Saudi Arabia. I gave him a generic set of platforms that could be used to transfer cargo in ports not deep or big enough to handle the ship. There would have to be made in any country wanting the cargo. A small island close by with a steep drop off was ours and the petroleum was carried by large diameter pipes to the refinery a few miles away.

I demanded half down on the ship and the prince was wondering why all of that was necessary. My reply about the money needed to build the space station sounded very good to him. "Sir Shawn, have you considered taking passengers to space for a fee?"

To Prince Yaseen I said, "Your Royal Highness, the suit alone cost much to manufacture and is built for only one particular person. The fuselage of the ship can accommodate one or more people but the cost of putting them in orbit is very high. Not only fuel but canisters of air, water and a larger life support unit are needed. The Americans figure that it takes one point two million American dollars to place a man in orbit. My figures are much lower but there is still a similar cost in equipment. Not many people could afford such a high cost for such a short trip. One day I will make a large ship that could take people from the earth and be much like current aircraft but that day is not here yet."
