Chapter 18

I wasn't sure why soldiers had brought me to Bethesda. I saw as we went through the gate that Bethesda was a naval hospital and was the national hospital. There was tons of construction going on, or had been when the plague hit. It appeared to have been suspended for now.

I was taken to the back door in a secondary building labeled "Reproductive Medicine." I had to fill out reams of paperwork and I was poked and prodded, weighed and measured for a while and eventually ignored before a doctor came in.

"I am Doctor Milar." she said. "I will be your doctor while you stay with us. It's my job to make maximum use of your semen so that we impregnate the most women possible."

"Well Doctor, I was essentially kidnapped and I don't want to be here so I am not going to help in any way. As I have told everyone else, you cannot make me do anything I don't want to do." I said.

"Oh Dear. I wasn't aware there was a problem. This just won't do. This could hold everything up. I guess my orders are clear, we must get what we need from you one way or another.

Hmmm... we have several way of extracting semen. Some are even a little painful. That's not a threat, just a consideration for you to think about. Are you sure you want to do this? We have many nice assistants that can help you," she smiled.

"I am sure you do, I am not an ordinary man, if I were I would be dead with the rest of them now, wouldn't I? You will eventually see that you cannot get my semen." I said angrily.

It took three days before they gave up on it and told the president they could not get one drop, not even one viable sperm cell out of me. They had tried. I had been given dirty books. Nurses and girls had walked around with buttons undone to get me interested. All to no avail. I was upset and wasn't having any of it.

I had thought so much about my treatment that I started thinking about what the aliens had done to me. If they had only changed my biologics it would be only a matter of 12 years or so before one of my sons could be used and misused in my stead.

They must have passed on my powers genetically. I could see that this was the only way mankind could continue. Governments come and governments go. The only way to control humanities population was if we men were reengineered so that we would not overpopulate again. I started to relax a little more with the understanding that things were under control. The more I thought about it, the better I felt.

Eventually they tried to force me to come by massaging my prostrate. I just clamped everything down. They eventually tried a needle into my testicles and they were shocked when it came up dry. I really did have total control.

"The President will see you in a a few minutes." The secretary said. I had been driven back to Washington to meet the President again. They now knew that at least part of what I had told them was true and that I had complete control of my gonads.

"What do you want, Fred? You know we need your unique capabilities for the human race to continue. Why would you withhold what we need so badly? We know you are capable of producing what we want if there are a hundred babies and pregnant women in Florida. Why would you do this?" She said.

"I just want to be treated as a human being. I don't want to be in some hospital ward guarded 24 hours a day. I want a regular place to live and I want a few of my friends up here from Holly Hill. Mostly I want to be treated as a real live person."

"I won't be treated as a medical experiment or worse, a slave. I want to be able to visit my home, and finally I don't want to see anyone dressed as doctors or nurses. I have had enough of that. If you do that, I will give you full cooperation." I said.

"Well, why didn't you say that before?" She said.

"I did. You and your people did not listen to me. You just thought "what does a boy know" and you condescendingly acted as if you heard me, and then you did what YOU wanted. You have wasted many days bullying me and only now are you willing to actually hear what I have to say." I said.

"What was the point if you were going to capitulate anyway? She said. "I see no point in what you have done."

"There are conditions. You are forgetting the aliens you so easily dismissed. You have no proof of where the blue plague came from. It seems to be too ingenious to be man-made. Every country has been hit so nobody shows an advantage, yet you don't believe what I have said." Fred said.
