CHAPTER THREE:
Layla was pregnant and I had all kinds of concerns ! Would our offspring be able to reproduce?
Was it a boy or a girl ? How did Layla keep this from me ?
She was 2 months pregnant and I had no idea ! Geez you could have told me anything, before I would have believed she could become pregnant and I would not know !
In a typical Layla calm and totally feminine way she just reassured me all was OK and everything would be as it should be. Her only question for me is she was undecided if we should have a boy or a girl or both ?
“What, you can have twins” ?
She just smiled and let me know she could have a litter if we wanted to !
“Good gosh almighty” !
All my life I have avoided the consequences for a brief moment of pleasure and now I was going to be a Daddy !
Layla told me that there would be a new addition to Tiki. It would consist of a vat of growth fluid and in another 30 days she would place her developing fetus (s) in to the vat and we could watch our child develop and grow.
After I got my breath back and some form of sanity returned to my shocked system I managed to let her know I loved her more than life itself and whatever she wanted would be fine with me... (I hoped ?)
30 days later there were two little blobs of fishy things that almost looked human in the growing vat Tiki had provided. When these blobs were fully developed and able to survive outside the vat there would be a female and a male baby.
“Amazing for I never expected to be a Daddy ! I suppose I am lucky she did not decide to produce a litter of the little buggers err/twins ” !
OK now that was settled we decided to return to a near by USSB base and transfer our children to a more secure environment.
We had been doing flag ops on several different worlds and I must admit it really was allot of fun. The last world had propeller driven aircraft which they used for transportation and war. I basically scared the crap out of some of their bomber and fighter aircraft pilots .. This was a safe world for us to play with for at this level of their technology they could not interfere with Tiki and her ability to maintain flight.
Since becoming an expecting father something changed in me ? I always figured the odds and trusted science and my abilities to get me through “whatever” but now I felt the weight of being a real 'no kidding' daddy and I think I did not know how to handle it. Layla picked up on this immediately and got a firm grip on the tip of my left ear and as she twisted she made me promise to consult the MAIN for the future of our lives and our children. She can be very physically persuasive at times, ouch!
I do not know why I am so hesitant to bother the MAIN ? Sometimes I am to independent for my own good. I suppose it comes from earth and watching some cashier at a checkout stand who can not figure out how to make change without the cash register telling them the proper amount to give back.
OK. Our little twins will be able to reproduce the old fashioned way when the time comes. The Falongsaid and Earthlings actually come from the same genetic stock and have not diverged or been separated by time to such an extent that interbreeding by copulation is outside of the norm. Little had I known at the beginning of our relationship there was a 100% chance that Layla could become pregnant by me.
I had never liked what pregnancy did to some Earthly females with the stretch marks and their breast reduction which ended up looking more like pancakes or two fried eggs over time. With this method of reproduction Layla looked and felt the same as she always had; which I adored and in truth was thankful for.
At 7 months in the growing vat the twins became more than a bunch of cells just splitting and growing to survive. At 14 months the twins were released from the birthing vat and sent to what most would consider a physical and learning vat. By the age of two they were released and joined us.
With Layla and myself being USSB psychics we spent everyday communicating and psychically holding our children. When they were finally released they came running naked across the room and basically smothered both of us with kisses and exclamations of a young persons excited talk ! Their vocabulary was about the level of a 6 or seven year old on earth that was raised the old fashioned way.
My heart almost melted with the bond and love I felt for these two kids. The girl was named Ding and the boy was named Dong..You should have seen Layla's face when I suggested Ding Dong for names; priceless !.. OK Layla would not go with those names so we decided on Sky for the Boy and Fhaa for the girl. They liked their names which was important to both Layla and myself.
As Layla and I were psychically pair bonded our twins became all part of that bonding except they were not psychic (no Chip). We could feel them as far as happiness or sadness and even read their minds plus we could psychically place thoughts in their heads by staring but it was a one way street at this phase of their development. These poor kids would never be able to get one over on mom and dad and knowing Layla it is probably for the best they did not even try !
Other things were going on with USSB while we were trying to provide the best possible outcome for our twins growth.
The mapping Droids from one of the extra dimensions had picked up in frequency and everything at USSB MAIN was indicating their would be a major incursion into our dimension in not to distant a future. The extra-dimensional droids were from the so called Shabock dimension and were coming to our side of this multiverse in the hundreds of thousands. These were not mapping droids but intel droids that were spying on just about everything in our dimension.
It was decided that we needed to do a little more than just send mapping droids to the Shabock dimension. So we to started sending more capable droids to take a 'look see'.
It did not go well!
Out of the first hundred droids we sent, communication was lost shortly after their arrival into the Shabock dimension.
So..... we sent some seriously high tech droids that could cloak their whereabouts or due to their metaphysical structure change and look like any other space rock.. These Droids were able to report on what was actually going on in the Shabock dimension and, it was not pretty.
In the Shabock dimension the creation of artificial self replicating intelligence was the down fall of the creators. Once this intelligence became self aware all biological sentient beings were just in the way of this intelligence and its' expansion. The creators had tried to pull the plug on their creation but it was to late, plus, this A.I. Intelligence figuratively got pissed to the point of considering all Sentients to be a danger to its' very existence. Plug pullers one and all!
“NOT GOOD”!
Once USSB analyzed our Droids information it was decided to send one ship that was outfitted to protect itself from the weapons the droids had detected the Shabock A.I. Used. This was an unmanned ship (no Sentients aboard) that would be directly controlled by USSB MAIN. The ship was one of our small midsize triangles that was close to 200 feet long. Nothing special except for its' defenses.
I was concerned that USSB might get some nefarious virus from making contact with the Shabock A.I. But I was assured that was an impossibility. I did not like the sound of that but who am I to raise a ruckus ?
The ship departed and was attacked within the first few moments of it's arrival. This A.I. was everywhere in the Shabock dimension. Really not to hard to understand when you consider the exponential growth of such an intelligence which over the millennium had nothing to stand in its' way of reproduction and growth.
We were able to watch the mission via the onboard sensors of our Shabock bound USSB ship and to me it looked like an earthly bleeding Capybara being attacked by a huge swarm of piranha in some Amazonian river. The USSB ship using several of its' tractor beam nodes ripped the first swarm of attack droids to pieces in the blinking of an eye. Then only moments later, three rather large ugly ships appeared and tried using cutter beams on our USSB ship. We had expected this and as their beams touched our force field a huge feed back loop was initiated and these ships blew out their cutter nodes. They then retreated but our USSB ship followed and when they were in the proper position our ship materialized an antimatter torpedo that detonated right in the middle of their loose formation. Needless to say the were vaporized.
It got rather peaceful after that.
USSB MAIN knew where the old home star cluster for this Shabock intelligence originated but as indicated before this A.I. was everywhere. We needed to communicate with one of its' droids but up to this point they had all been dead set on destroying our ship. We could have just captured one of their droids in our dimension but we needed to insure our very own droid intel was correct about their weapons and the response to our arrival into their Shabock dimensional universe.
Once the 3 big uglies had been destroyed our ship returned to pick up some of the bits and pieces of the attack droids. These pieces were scanned and analyzed for possible self destruct mechanisms and communication relays and when we found what we were looking for the pieces were tractor beamed aboard.
The little Grays onboard the USSB ship were busy beavers going through the junk and assembling this and that until they created what they needed. This new creation was then released back into the Shabock dimension as our USSB ship phased back into our own dimension.
This entire operation lasted less than two hours of earthly time.
Within the next few sleep cycles all the Shabock droids in our dimension either became inert or returned to the Shabock dimension.
Now that is the way to fight a war !
My whole concern about USSB getting some virus from the Shabock A.I. was misdirected and wrong. Upon completion of a new droid from the pieces of the dismembered Shabock attack droids, USSB had simply transferred our own version of a virus with some of the rules that govern USSB A.I. Our newly made Shabock droid had dutifully then gone about its' business transmitting and infecting all A.I. In the Shabock dimension.
It was to late to save the billions of sentient life forms this A.I. had destroyed but at least it would not be starting the same process in our own dimensional back yard. On a more positive note the entire Shabock dimension was a place USSB could expand into and seed sentient life forms with even the help and assets of the once evil A.I. that had previously ruled. Approximately 500 billion Galaxies with trillions of stars with planets for us to seed with sentient life was now available if we could muster the assets to send there.
Same old me, “I like happy endings”.
Also I got to thinking about Layla and family going into the Shabock and doing some of the seeding ourselves. Hummm ?
Layla was pregnant and I had all kinds of concerns ! Would our offspring be able to reproduce?
