Max chuckles when I inform him, rather than ask, that he’ll be living with Athena and me. That makes him happy enough that he wastes little time before kissing me, stripping me, and carrying me to the bed as I giggle my head off. Then he brings me to orgasm several times before finally cumming himself.
Suffice it to say that I’m blissfully satisfied, even if both of us are sweat-soaked by the time we finish. Our st round is with me riding him in the cowgirl position, which he loves. After he cums in me for the 3rd time, I y down on his chest, then kiss his neck and contentedly murmur, “Keep that up, and Athena and I might very well keep you around for the next couple of hundred years.”
Which makes him chuckle as he lightly runs his fingers along my spine. “Sounds like a good pn to me.”
I’m not going to be compining about him jumping my bones. As far as I’m concerned, if Max wants to fuck me silly, then I’m eagerly ready to oblige him, since I’m almost always horny when I’m around him. The only time I’m not is that time of the month. Just the thought of that is gross, so it’s not happening.
Anyway, a teenager’s hormones are no joke, and I’m not going to pretend that I’m a goody-two-shoes like some girls I knew on Earth. I love sex, and I’m not afraid to admit it. I only hope he’s ready to be tag-teamed after Athena recovers from having our baby, since Athena enjoys sex just as much as I do.
As an aside, I meant what I said. We can easily be with him for a couple of hundred years. Barring any accidents, we’re told that we’ll be able to live to be around 300 due to our longevity treatments. Those treatments repair our telomeres, amongst other things, so we age much more slowly. Other than the basics, the what and how they lengthen our lives was a closely guarded secret back on Earth, though I’m positive that we have the information with us.
Once we reach about 220 or so, the effectiveness begins to wane. Until then, we’ll look like we’re 18, and remain fertile for a much longer period. A popur newscaster on GNN was given it by her parents as an 18th birthday present back in 2164, and she still looked like a gorgeous young dy when we left Earth. That’s right, she was 104 years old and looked 18.
Anyway, we fall asleep with me on top of him, and his arms stay around me until the chime announces that it’s dinner time. Grumpily in my case, since I’m rather comfortable snuggling with him, we clean up, dress, and make our way to the dining hall. After we get our food, we see Athena and head over to join her. She grins knowingly when she looks at us. “Going by your happy glow, I’m betting that not only did he rock your world, but he said yes.”
I grin and ask, “Did you think I’d allow him to say no? I told him he’s living with us, and that’s that.”
She snorts and giggles. “Good!”
“Ladies, you know I’m here, too, right?”
I look at him and quietly squeak out, “Eek!” Then with a mock shocked expression, I ask, “When did you get here?!”
I grin mischievously as he chuckles and shakes his head while Athena ughs. When she manages to stop ughing, Athena says, “Seriously, though, I’m happy that you’ll be with us.”
He smiles with a slightly amused expression. “Was there ever any doubt? I’ve had plenty of offers, but you two are the only girls I see or sleep with. I think I’ve made how I feel about you two obvious.”
Anyway, you get the idea of what we talk about. We finish eating, Athena and I tell him that we’ll see him ter, and then we both kiss him and head to our cabin.

As you can imagine, to the uninformed eye, the activity in the Avalon is absolute chaos. True, it looks chaotic, but it’s controlled chaos. You know the military, nothing is done without a pn in pce. Much of the activity is centered around the cargo hold and the nding bay as we direct the transfer of cargo and selected passengers to either the shuttles or the space pnes, which are then transferred down to Novis. Trust me, my cargo controller and the cargo crew are busier than one-armed monkeys with two bananas.
Thankfully, I’ve only lost my temper once, and for a good reason, too. A shuttle pilot left the flight path that I set for him, and he almost hit a passenger pne. Had it not been for me invoking the computer override for his shuttle’s flight computer, he’d have killed 33 people, along with destroying a lot of vital supplies and equipment. I don’t know why he wasn’t responding, and at that point, I didn’t care. Believe me, saying I’m furious with him is putting it far too mildly. When he nded, I stormed out of my control room and chewed him out, up one side and down the other. You might wonder how a Second Lieutenant can get away with doing that to a Captain. It’s called positional command, so while he’s flying, he’s under my command.
He was grounded and referred to his wing commander for further punishment when my father found out that he spent almost the entire night drinking. His commander had him stand for an Article 15, even though he could, or in my opinion, more like should’ve, referred him back to my dad for court-martial. He almost killed a lot of people and destroyed irrepceable equipment. For those of you who have no idea what Article 15 is, it’s non-judicial punishment, meaning he was punished by his commander instead of being court-martialed.
His commander sentenced him to two months of extra duty, forfeiture of all pay and allowances for two months, confined him to his cabin when he isn’t on duty for a month, and reduced him in rank to Second Lieutenant, along with giving him a stern admonition that if he was caught having even a single drink before the colony was up and running, he would throw him in the brig and let him rot there.
It takes us just over 91 days of 8-hour workdays, 6 days a week to set down the initial supplies for the colony. Meanwhile, the residents develop farms and ranches to raise our food so that we won’t be so dependent on our supplies. Plus, it’ll be nice to have fresh food.
Also, engineering crews spread out across Terra to begin setting up pnetary defenses. It’s easy enough since all they need to do is transport the resources to the location, let the Nanos do their job to build them, then come back when they’re finished and hook it up to a high-capacity fusion power supply.
Reserves of our food and other supplies are being kept on the Avalon until more hermetically sealed warehouses can be built. I’ll be able to transfer to Novis when they’ve built the command center along with the system traffic control system for me. Athena, along with most of the other medical staff, have already been sent down. She calls a lot, but she’s still badly missed. Of course, Max and I are still onboard the Avalon, so we’ll both be gd when we can join her.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇
[TC: 119, 01]
Finally, we’ve transferred everyone and everything we need down to Novis. The Avalon will be manned for the foreseeable future until both the pnetary and the orbital defenses are fully set up. Defenses, other than the instaltions around the colony, are kind of on the back burner at the moment since getting the colony stable is the priority.
Today we finished transferring everyone and everything to Novis, except for a skeleton crew to man the Avalon, and a party is pnned for this evening, which is set to continue for a couple of days. Look, it’s just as important to rex as it is to work, and people have been working their asses off. So, Dad and Colonel Dayton talked and decided that we’d have a festival kind of thing. Plus, we’ll be holding them regurly, so people are sure to get breaks.
Believe me, I’m looking forward to it. Today, though, I’m busy checking out the equipment in the system traffic control center. I’ve also been assigned to train a couple of other people to help me. One of them, a 17-year-old by the name of John, was useless, as all he could do was either stare at or try to flirt with me. I sent him back to HQ to be reassigned along with a request for a repcement. Hopefully, it’ll be someone who won’t be so enthralled by me.
The other one is an 18-year-old girl named Zoe. Smart, serious, and eager to learn is all I can say about her for the moment. I might mention that I’ve been promised a traffic control AI when the Nanos have enough time to make one. Even when they’re free to do so, it’s going to take at least 3 months. After all, AI cores are complex, and the more complex something is, the longer it takes to make it.
After the st shuttle of the day nds, Zoe and I shut down our stations, and gather our things. We stroll through the bustling streets, chatting as we make our way. She separates from me to head down another street to her house, saying that she’ll see me ter. I continue on my way, nodding and waving to people I know, and occasionally stopping to have short conversations with a few.
Roughly 10 minutes ter, I finally arrive at our house. Stepping inside, I announce, “I’m home.”
Athena calls out from upstairs, “Welcome home, babe! Now get that cute ass of yours up here, and get ready, or we’re going to be te!”
Max is nowhere to be seen, so I assume he’s off somewhere helping to finish up final preparations for the party.
In the bedroom, I find Athena finishing up her makeup. Walking over, I softly kiss her neck so that I don’t smudge her lipstick, and reach down to rub her abdomen. Smiling at me in the mirror, she points her thumb over her shoulder at the bed, indicating the outfit she already id out for me.
“I took the liberty of selecting your outfit for tonight, as I assumed you wouldn’t be home on time. Now hurry up, shower, and change clothes. We have a half-hour before your Dad’s speech.” She turns and pyfully sps my butt. “Now, move!”
It’s the middle of spring here, so what she picked out for me is a silk cream-colored sleeveless v-neck blouse, an emerald-green pleated mini skirt, off-white lingerie, and white ankle boots with 3” block heels. It’s a very cute outfit, and I’m positive that I’ll look fabulous in it.
Giggling, I walk over to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Afterward, she helps me style my hair, then I put on my makeup. Finally, I dress, slip on my boots, and stand up to see Athena smiling at me.
She nods approvingly, takes my hand, and we carefully walk down the stairs. Remember, Athena is due in a couple of weeks, so walking downstairs is awkward for her. Hand-in-hand, we walk out the door and make our way to the town square.
The community gathers around the small stage set up there, which has band instruments set up on it already, along with a mic stand.
We don’t have to wait long before Dad takes the stage. He smiles and nods at people on his way to the mic, then begins speaking.
“Good evening, and welcome, everyone.
“It’s been a long, hard haul to get us to today. We’ve lost loved ones and valued members on our way. Some familiar to us, some not, but that doesn’t mean that their loss doesn’t impact all of us. Due to those tragic losses, some of our people have made far greater contributions and sacrifices than others. They voluntarily gave up everything they knew to take on new roles in our society so that humanity can survive.
“You folks know who you are, and you have all of our undying gratitude. Your gift to all of us and humanity’s future gives us all an excellent chance of seeing our future generations learn from the many mistakes made on Earth. Let’s learn from those mistakes, and strive for all of us to do and be better. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
“That said, today is a special day. A day when we’ve set up our new home. We have everything we need to succeed, and it’s up to all of us to take care of each other and help one another so that we can thrive as a community. The good book says that we are our brother’s keeper, and that is truer now than it has ever been before for every one of us.
“It’s with great pleasure and satisfaction that I can stand here today to give a welcome speech. Now, it’s time for us to celebrate and recognize all of our achievements so far. Believe me, simply surviving until now is a massive accomplishment for all of us, and this weekend is dedicated to all of our hard work. Mond… First day will come soon enough for us to worry about the challenges and hard work we still face.
“We pn for these events to be regur occurrences to give us breaks from the exertion and tedium of making a new life for ourselves.
“Weather control made sure that we’d have a gorgeous weekend to enjoy ourselves. So, dance, drink, and revel in the fact that we’re alive and on Terra, our new home.
“In closing, I’d like to thank you all for your hard work and community spirit.”
They walk off the stage, and a band walks on as they do.
