Part One

Robin pulled into her driveway, glad to finally be home.

Fridays usually had no meaning, since days off were few and far

between. But now, finally, she was getting a weekend off.

It had taken years to get this latest job, six months just to

get clearance. It was a dream she'd had for a long time, but now

that she had obtained it, it was taxing, to say the least. There

were hours of endless testing and data analysis, and strict

deadlines. While it was incredibly gratifying, the adjustments

she'd had to make this last year had been particularly grueling.

Lancaster Associates wasn't a company per se; it was an

independent research consortium with extensive funding from the

clandestine budget of one of the three-lettered government

agencies... perhaps all of them. The field was mind dynamics,

and as a physicist with three doctorates, Robin had been both a

highly desired recruit and burdened with her employer's high

expectations.

Synaptic Training. That was what it was called. The official

project name was "The Effect of Laser and Ultrasonic Stimulation

on the Training Response of the Human Mind," or ELUSTRES, for

the report headings.

She'd had some ethical questions at first. Wasn't training

someone too fast for him or her to reject it a form of mind

control? No, she had been told. The application was simply a

more efficient way to train the military, reducing basic

training and indoctrination to a few short hours.

In addition, years of skills and of tactical and strategic

experience could be pumped in, available when needed. It wasn't

anything new or any more amoral than any kind of training... it

just happened faster. And just in case, they had hard-wired

integrity and ethical templates into the training devices, which

set up a kind of insulating barrier around the brain areas found

to have those qualities inherent in their patterning.

Needless to say, it had been very intense, and years of

research had gone into the project before Robin had arrived. The

brain had to be mapped in such a way as to account for changes

in electron travel. It had been a nearly impossible task,

actually, until she was brought in.

It was hoped that she could bring fresh ideas to the project.

She had not disappointed. Her no-nonsense attitude and austere

demeanor betrayed an intense commitment to her work, and after

only two months, she came upon the idea of using a series of

cascading algorithms that could both map and rewrite synaptic

response in such a way as to make it entirely predictable.

As an added bonus, the process, if used correctly, gave them

the option of either making the changes reversible or permanent.

And ethics aside, Robin was going to be very rich. Even her

nearly pure scientific mind could see the practical application

of not having to worry about money ever again.

But right now, the work was done. The champagne had been

ordered... she had no doubt that the process would be successful

in the first human experiments, due the following Monday.

She had her own reward for a job well done, and she was going

to indulge herself. After showering and fixing a light dinner,

Dr. Robin Richards treated herself to her own private

pleasure... vegetating on the couch with an old movie and some

popcorn.

----

Robin shifted in her bed, slowly moving upward through the

layers of sleep. She was about to drift back off when she heard

a sigh from inside her room. Her eyes popped wide open and her

heart leapt to her throat. She lay quietly trying to hide that

fact that she had awakened.

"Don't bother lying still, Dr. Richards. My display has already

told me you're awake. Besides, you quit breathing so deeply."

Robin cursed silently and turned over quickly, trying to show

confidence that she didn't feel inside.

From the pitch of the voice, it was impossible to tell if it

came from a man or a woman. Robin sat up slowly, and felt a

slight pressure on her head as the room turned

*green.*

"That's right, Dr. Richards. You have a device on your head we

rather humorously have dubbed a 'mindshredder.' It slices! It

dices! It tosses your thoughts around like so much salad! Or...

you could call it a puzzle. A puzzle where all the pieces fit no

matter how they fall. And we know just how they should fall. You

are about to be '*reoriented*', for lack of a better word. And

you will never know the difference."

"Who are 'we'," Robin said, trying to sound intimidating.

Unfortunately, her voice was only nervous and squeaky in her ears.

"We are who you are going to work for, from now on. You're

going to simply *love* your new job."

Robin let herself adjust to the strange, green light. It had

the odd effect of making her room look a little like a hologram.

She was looking at the wall, and tried to move her eyes to the

right, towards the voice of her assailant. They didn't

cooperate. It wasn't a fight. The possibility simply didn't

exist. It was like trying to levitate six inches above her bed.

It just didn't work that way.

She felt them widen instead, until they were stretched so wide

that it was almost painful, as if they were being held open.

A small part of her mind clamped off, looking analytically at

the situation. *Impressive, to say the least. Basic motor

control from an outside source. Problematic, but obviously

possible...*

"Are you in love, Dr. Richards?"

"No." The instant response startled her. It must have been the

oddity of the question, coming out of left field.

"You will be. With Gretchen. Gretchen Samuels. Goddess, Owner,

Lover, She Who Must Be Obeyed. She will be your contact. She

will be your *life*."

Robin laughed, surprised that it came out. This was like some

badly made "B" movie script. "Don't know Gretchen," she spat,

the mix of fear and ridiculous delusions of this intruder

creating a kind of muted lunacy that bounced around on the

inside of her skull.

"That's because we've only just met." said the voice. "Time to

begin, my loveliness."

A small, red square appeared on the wall up and to the right of

where Robin was involuntarily staring. Almost instantaneously,

her eyes shifted to it. Then a blue square appeared far to the

left. Again her eyes shifted before she even realized it was

happening. It was an odd sensation, to say the least. It

happened so fast that instead of feeling like her eyes were

moving, it was more like the wall was shifting in space and

bringing the square to the center of her vision.

More colors and squares appeared, and Robin's eyes obeyed

instantly. They began to come faster and faster, until to the

outside observer there was merely a blur of colors flashing on

the wall.

*Faster.*

The image was looking like a kaleidoscope now, but to Robin, it

was only a shifting pattern of small colored squares. To her,

the room was becoming a blur, a fog of relentless motion that

was making her dizzy and sick. She found that the only way to

reduce her nausea was to relax and let the squares come... to

use them as something on which she could focus.

She noticed a slight feeling of euphoria overtaking her, moving

forward from the back of her head. She let herself give in to

it... it was the only relief from the sickening pace of the

blurred room.

*Faster.*

Her body, still sitting still, began to feel distant. She

realized that her brain was starting to ignore it, since it was

anchored to the spinning room. Slowly, she let her feelings and

sensations go. It was just too hard to hang on.

Her thoughts were becoming harder to put together... the

increasing pull of the square, the only sane thing in her

suddenly insane world, was no help to her if she distracted

herself with thoughts. Slowly, her awareness of her surroundings

dissipated into the green fog that the room had become.

*Faster.*

Gretchen watched eagerly as Robin's eyes vibrated into a bluish

blur, her body slack, mouth falling open, almost like a metaphor

for the cavern that was growing inside of her mind as it came

apart in so many pieces.

It was a cavern Gretchen was about to fill.

With relish.

With obedience.

With *lust*.

She looked down at her monitor just as the indicators showed

that Robin was ready for the next step.

Robin noticed that the square seemed to be floating in space in

front of her now, three dimensionally sitting in the center of a

greenish mist of untold depth... a mist that she barely

remembered used to be her room, her body.

It was changing shape, too... elongating vertically, softening,

becoming flesh-colored and multi-faceted. She watched as it

elongated and grew, adding more detail. Her eyes felt like they

were straining to see what was next, what it was becoming, and

then, with incredible clarity, she saw. She knew. It was the

body of a Goddess.

She realized with a start that she was being manipulated and

fought to control her eyes, but she was too far gone to do

anything but wince in pain. The woman was the only thing she

could see, the only thing she could focus on, the only thing she

could even *think*... she was completely beyond words now.

The pleasure of it was too strong to ignore. As the last

vestiges of her barriers collapsed, Robin realized that

endorphins and dopamine were releasing into her mind, creating a

kind of insane sensation of oneness with the image... a witch's

brew of mind-altering chemistry that would be completely

untraceable.

And then, she *was* one with everything she could see.

And all she could see was...

"*Gretchen,*" came the voice. It sounded vaguely familiar, but

it was of no consequence. The name echoed through her, and

caressed her pleasure centers, making her gasp in inspiration

and recognition of holiness.

"Gretchen Samuels. Goddess. She who must be obeyed. She to whom

you give your love, and your life. Your adoration. Your very

*soul*."

The words etched into her empty synapses, drawing her inward,

consuming her, until they were no longer even words. They were

the essence of existence.

It was not merely belief.

It was not opinion.

It was concrete, unchangeable fact.

"Obedience is not even a word you need to think. It is what you

*are*, Robin. Robin is obedience to Gretchen. Every motion,

every act is love and surrender. There is no other way."

But Robin didn't even hear the words, now. They were simply the

stanchions that were the foundation of her existence.

And there were many more words to come.

And come they did.

So did Robin, many times, before she fell back into the land of

dreams.

----

"Douglas, I'll be ready in a moment. I just need to check on a

bad reading from one of the checksums." Robin's brow furrowed as

she opened a panel and pulled a module out of the activation

console.

"Damn it, I knew it couldn't go perfectly," cursed Douglas,

looking on from behind the control room glass. "How serious is

it?"

"Not too bad..." Robin said, sounding distracted as she focused

on the analyzer. "But I'm going to have to replace the 862

series control board module. Good thing I made some spares."

"I don't care what Dr. Shenander says, you're an angel," said

Douglas, the relief in his voice coming even through the

speaker. "How long?"

"About thirty minutes," answered Robin. *Please don't let him

say 'groovy',* Robin thought.

"Groovy."

Robin winced and carried the unit back to her personal lab.

*There is no secret. I'm just not telling them what I'm doing

and letting them watch, like a good little slut-puppet,* thought

Robin, humming happily as she retrieved the spare unit. It had

taken her nearly fourteen hours to create a passable dummy for

the ethical protection unit, but she had finally managed by

simply having another unit cancel it out.

Gretchen had even allowed her to cum while she licked at her

Goddess's Holy Altar of Passion.

*Gretchen. God,* thought Robin, feeling her pussy go wet at the

mere thought of her Owner. *Goddess*! she corrected, giggling as

tremors of pleasure washed through her. She had to stop in the

hall on the way back to let the reward of her success stream

through her body.

Once she made it back to the Procedure Room, she placed the

unit carefully into its docking port, and announced that

everything was nominal and that the experiment could proceed.

Then, entering the control room, she walked up behind Douglas,

who was busy studying the experiment protocols one last time.

"Sweet dreams, Dougie," she said, giggling. She pulled her hand

out of her pocket and plunged a hypodermic deeply into his arm,

quickly depressing the plunger. His head jerked up and he spun,

only to keep spinning slowly down to the floor.

Leaving him there, Robin met Dr. Shenander as she walked

towards the control room. "Vera, there's something I need to ask

you," she said, stopping in front of the sexy team leader.

*Sexy...* thought Robin, *funny I never noticed before...*

Looking into her colleague's eyes, Robin pulled a tazer out of

her pocket and said, "Do these things really work?"

"Guess they do!" she said, answering herself and giggling as

she dragged the collapsed body of Dr. Shenander towards the

Procedure Room. "In case you can hear me, Vera, you're going to

simply *love* your new job!"

----

Part Two

Vera Shenander's body ached. She was disoriented. It almost

felt like she was strapped to a table. It took a moment for the

reality to sink in.

She *was* strapped to a table. Tightly. She couldn't move her

head or limbs at all, except to pull uselessly on her muscles.

She looked at the lights on the ceiling, noticing that she now

wore some kind of transparent visor, trying to see if the could

get some sense of where she was. But it wasn't her eyes that

gave her the answer.

It was the whine of the Elustres device.

"Welcome back to the real world, Vera," said Robin, through the

speaker from the control room. "Well, at least reality as you

now know it," she added, sounding slightly amused, "which is

subject to change without prior notice."

"Robin - what the fuck is this?" Vera demanded, her anger

flaring.

"Why, it's the birth of a new direction for Lancaster

Associates, Vera. Dr. Lancaster is lying here asleep on the

floor, so I'm moving forward with his tacit approval."

"New direction?"

"Yes, Doctor. We are all going to be working for a new

employer. Gretchen Samuels. I know you don't recognize the name.

I will assist in your education. Then you and I will assist in

the education of the entire team. Don't worry, it's a much

more... *mmmmmmmm*... fulfilling career choice," purred Robin.

"Well, 'choice' may not be

the best word..."

"I don't understand, Robin. Please... just let me down and talk

to me about what's going on," said Vera, fighting through the

fog, trying desperately to put conviction and self-assurance

into her words. "I'm assuming you plan to use the Elustres

device on me, but all it has to offer are strategic and tactical

guides. You already know you can't change my ethical base... you

designed the circuitry to be foolproof yourself. The machine

will shut down if you even try, so there's nothing to gain.

You're not well. There's nothing to accomplish. Please, Robin,

let's talk for a little bit."

"Yes... you're right, Dr. Shenander. There's nothing for me to

gain," said Robin, starting to sound like she was thinking to

herself. Vera relaxed a bit. Now, if she could just keep this

going...

"But then again, if that's so, you have nothing to worry about,

and the gain will totally be yours, in knowledge and

understanding," giggled Robin. Vera felt her heart sink. This

was completely out of character for Dr. Richards. Normally stern

and disciplined, she was cackling like a lunatic. Vera was sure

that the woman had finally cracked after months of strain.

"That reminds me," continued Robin. "I worked all weekend to

come up with a replacement for the 862 unit. It no longer acts

only as a stasis inducer. It's now something I've named the

'ethics subrogator'. It gets around the failsafe by mimicking

the ethics of the subject... a kind of feedback loop that keeps

the Elustres device from noticing any changes. I thought you

might appreciate my brilliance. You do, don't you?"

Vera did. And she also came face to face with the real danger

of her situation. She did the only thing she knew to do.

She screamed.

Robin didn't seem to notice.

"The visor on your head is part of another device... one you're

not likely to be familiar with. It's called a 'Mindshredder'. It

was invented by a loathsome clod named William Meyer. It's kind

of like a thought reorganizer... reshapes everything from core

beliefs to everyday inanities. Luckily, Gretchen, my Goddess,

and soon to be yours, was able to get it from him, and use it to

put him to a better use; namely, worshipping Gretchen and

working feverishly to improve the device. And now, she is

dedicating the device to an even higher purpose.

"That purpose is the creation of a personal Sapphic Dynasty.

Just think of what your life could be like with a woman in

control... with *Gretchen* in power... free from the male

constructs that determine how lives should be lived? What

paradigms will finally be finally gone? It's wondrous!

"Do you know why women are so hard to work for? Why they are

bitchy in business and politics? It's because they are operating

under imperatives that are the equivalent of shoes that are too

tight! It's like a computer program that is generations old but

still has faulty code as its basis! You can't *modify* it to

make it right. You have to completely rewrite it!" enthused Robin.

"You're fucking insane," said Vera, softly.

"No, I'm fucking a vibrator, thinking of your tongue lapping at

my pussy and asshole. It's time to begin."

Vera jerked as the room suddenly turned... *green.* She felt

her body fall into a kind of limp paralysis, as if the control

of her muscles had been bypassed to somewhere else. Her eyes

widened and she stared into the ceiling.

As they bulged impossibly, she had the oddest sensation that

the room was moving. She knew rationally that the table was

being turned upright, but her balance and sense of place had

vanished, and her brain, at its deepest level, was telling her

that she was the center of the universe around which everything

else revolved.

She became dizzy as Robin danced around her, moving crazily

around her, releasing her from the table restraints. She knew it

was not the case... that Robin was moving normally, but Vera's

disorientation seemed to be growing by the second. She also

realized that the straps were no longer needed... this device,

whatever it was, was more effective than any physical bindings.

And then, Robin was gone. Nothing happened for the next few

minutes. Her mind was still screaming, but finally quieted as

she realized it was useless.

The room moved again and brought a small red square to the

center of her vision. She realized her eyes had moved, but

again, the lack of any outside stimulus gave her the uncanny

sensation that the image had been brought to her, and not the

other way around.

She felt resigned curiosity creep in on her as the room moved

again, and again, and the color of the square slowly changed.

She quit paying attention to her surroundings. For some reason,

she found the experience so... fascinating.

In fact, she was losing all sense of the room at all, and a

kind of feeling of wellness began to move through her in a

gentle... no, a *seductive* wave.

As the room disappeared into a green foggy blur, she saw that

there was no way to fight this, even if she wanted to. She knew

she was trapped, and it added a kind of indifference, like

someone who has...

Her thought ended abruptly as the square changed, became three-

dimensional, and transmuted slowly, captivatingly, into the form

of a woman... the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. Waves

of deep euphoria waltzed on her skin, inside her belly, and tap-

danced her swelling clitoris. There was no resistance. There was

only this reality. There was only...

"Gretchen," came the voice of... of...

"Gretchen Samuels. Goddess. Supreme Sovereign. The Perfect

Woman you live for and obey."

"She is your love, your life, Vera. You define yourself only by

your relationship to Her and Her desires and needs. Obedience is

not a concept, Vera, it is what you *are*. You are obedience.

Vera is obedience to Gretchen. You are pleasure. You are eternal

adoration and devotion. You are... slave. You are slut-puppet.

"Your cunt comes alive at the thought of Her. You cum openly at

the honor of pleasing Her, and Her mere words cause you to

silently climax. You live for this. You live for Gretchen.

Everything else is secondary. You will hide your slavery only

when it serves the greater purpose of gaining more acceptable

recruits for Gretchen. You are starved for Her, addicted to

Her... you cannot live without Her. Your deepest cravings are

only for Her and those who serve Her. Your pleasure brings only

deeper obedience, and deeper obedience only brings greater

pleasure, even when it goes against everything you have ever

known or believed."

The emptiness of Vera's mind soaked it all up like a sponge.

She could feel the rational and emotional objections of her past

her mind slipping, and then turning on her, telling her over and

over that this was right and good. So good.

It was as if a veil was being lifted and she was seeing her

reason for existence for the first time. It was like a puzzle

falling together in a way that made more sense than anything she

had ever known. Her hips began to gyrate and moans escaped her

lips. Her tongue salivated and her pussy began to drip juices

down her leg.

Robin was already on the verge of cumming, watching the

Mindshredder manipulate Vera's body, teaching her the motions

and reactions that would please Gretchen. She was only able to

continue her instructions out of the pure obedience that had

become her life. Wave after beautiful wave of fire swept through

her wet, randy loins as she continued.

"Whatever your sexual orientation has been is of no

consequence. You love women. Only women can bring you pleasure.

Only women are worthy of your love and obedience. And Gretchen

is the Goddess above all to whom you devote every thought and

dream. Say it, Vera. Feel the vibrations deep in the core of

your being."

Vera felt something hard and brittle move up through her mind,

a spear of final resistance that she grasped desperately. She

had to hang on... just one more moment, and then one more...

"Noooo..." she gasped, fighting with every ounce of remaining

strength.

"Thank you, Vera," came Robin's voice. "It usually takes more

to get to someone's core of resistance, but you've done *sooo*

well. Gretchen will be very pleased."

Vera felt the spear suddenly transform and wrap around her mind

like a serpent, bathing her in pleasure as the last of her

defenses were not destroyed, but corrupted into the strong,

unstoppable realization of her destiny.

"Now, Vera, say it. Feel it," cooed Robin, her breathing fast

and excited.

"I... love women," started Vera, barely able to speak through

the mind-numbing passion she felt. It was as if she were

breathing her own super-heated lust. "Only women can bring me

pleasure. Only women are worthy of my love and obedience!"

Vera felt her enthusiasm growing as the words became more and

more true. "AND GRETCHEN IS THE GODDESS ABOVE ALL TO WHOM I

DEVOTE EVERY THOUGHT AND DREAM!!!"

Robin teetered on the edge of her climax as she watched Vera

drool and writhe on the table, no longer in need of any coaxing,

transformed and corrupted into the newest slut-puppet of her

Goddess.

"The word 'lesbian' makes your clit spark and crackle with

lust. The word 'dyke' makes you moan softly in deepening

arousal. You are and have always been obsessed with women alone,

with no shame or reservation.

"Insatiable. Militant. You lust after all women of all ages and

all body types, regardless of attractiveness. You recruit them

as Gretchen sees fit. You always recruit in a way that is

efficient and will not endanger Gretchen in any way. You use

every strategy and tactic you know. You know this. You never

question it. It is life and pleasure. It is the Will of Gretchen.

"You are climaxing now, Vera. It is the promise of Gretchen. It

is the reward of Gretchen. As you climax, know and accept that

your surrender is complete. Know that this is your new and

perfect life. When you have fully surrendered, you will commit

the final act of your previous, ignorant life. You will simply

say, 'I pray the Goddess accept Her slut'."

Vera felt the rise of her loins, the tickling of every nerve in

her body. It was so far beyond love and even sex that she would

betray anything, anyone to achieve what it promised. God? There

was no God. There was no loyalty, no need, no sacrifice that did

not belong to Gretchen.

Her eyes widened and dilated fully as spasms began to romp

through her body like demons of unquenchable lust.

The desire became pain, driving her deeper and deeper towards

the promised pleasure and bliss of Gretchen's Will... the ache

was a torturous burn within the well of her soul, and she felt,

almost as if it were someone else, her lips open and whisper...

"I pray... the Goddess... accept... Her slut..."

And then, like a crystal chalice reflecting the light of a

hundred suns, she came. It was eternal. It was beyond life or

death. It was pure white, inescapable, burning away all that she

had been that would not please her Goddess.

It was... the Will of Gretchen.

----

Part Three

Melissa Palmisano sat in the back seat of the SUV, unseen by

outside eyes, thanks to the nearly black tint of the windows. It

was a risk to be here, regardless, but some risks were necessary

in order to move things forward.

She wondered if Vera and Robin had been kept in the same

holding cell. If so, they had probably put on quite a show for

the other inmates and the cameras. Her hand drifted casually

down to the wetness of her snatch as she thought of the tallish,

athletic Robin face-to-crotch with the dark red nymph that Vera

had become... an obsessed sixty-nine as the two women stretched

their legs wider and wider, tongues lashing and torturing each

others' swollen sex, clits throbbing with the song of mindless

pleasure...

She mewled as her own climax approached, her mind reeling with

every blissful nuance, as it had ever since her inhibitions had

been stripped away and she had been reborn.

Data entry seemed like another life. So drab... so dead and

colorless... so unlike the exuberant life she had now been

given. The mere memory of her change overheated her loins, and

she came, body thrashing uncontrollably as she remembered what

she had been, and what her awakening had brought to her.

Finally, after several minutes, her spent body, sweaty from her

effort, sank back, the SUV now filled with the aroma of her

naked, wanton sex.

*Thank you, Gretchen,* she quietly thought.

The beeping from the monitoring device awakened her from her

reverie and she flipped up the screen. As expected, she had a

first-person picture of walking down a hallway, escorted by two

guards. Vera's glasses were working perfectly.

She slipped on her own visor and earbuds, and switched to

targeting mode. She felt dizzy as the two-dimensional image from

the screen transferred to the three-dimensional reality of the

visor. It always took a few minutes to get oriented, but after a

few moments of vertigo, she was quite at home looking out from

Vera's point of view.

She walked through the door of a small interrogation room and

felt herself sitting down, although they were phantom feelings.

It was difficult not to feel some physical sensation... it was

similar to, but much more profound than the feelings of the

"visual surround" movies of her youth.

An agent came down and sat across the table from her. So this

was Special Agent Amanda Jessop. Vera had been correct. This

woman was a prime candidate for recruitment. brunette and curly-

haired, with a lean face, high cheekbones and the cutest upturn

in her nose... she had a body that made Melissa shiver with the

anticipation of her "re-alignment".

All the drills of the past months kicked in and she waited for

sustained eye contact. It was the same interview as always,

mostly going over the embezzled funds that had been hung on Dr.

Doug Lancaster, suspicions of Vera's and Robin's involvement,

and the temporary suspension of the rest of the staff.

Melissa laughed. The staff was never truly suspended. They just

changed location and went covert. They were busier now than they

had ever been while working at the lab. Physical location had

nothing to do with their devotion to their Goddess, or to their

destiny.

Finally, after mostly friendly banter, the agent asked a

question that was supposed to get a startled, betraying response

from Vera. "So tell me, Dr. Shenander," said the agent, sugar

dripping off of her tongue, "what exactly is a... 'Mindshredder'?"

The agent, sure that she had found something, caught Vera in an

expectant, knowing stare.

Suppressing a giggle, Melissa aimed the targeting lasers at the

woman's pupils and pressed the button that would start the

process of showing the agent more than she had wanted to know.

Things that she would, happily, never question again.

Technology was always moving forward. It was such a wonderful

thing.

----

Amanda, Agent Jessop, stared intensely as she let the question

sink home. For some reason, the eye contract felt more forceful

than usual... more powerful. She let the smallest smile grace

her lips as she watched Dr. Shenander struggle to find a

confused answer.

After a moment, the woman finally spoke. "No one was supposed

to know about that," she said, almost in a whisper.

"Why?" pressed Amanda, letting her eyes widen. By God, getting

this reaction was making it feel *good* to stare.

"Well, it was something that wasn't really a regular part of

the project. Dr. Lancaster was embezzling. We knew that. In the

end, we had to use the MS device to draw him out of the

shadows," explained Vera.

"Did it affect his mind? Like the Elustre Device?" continued

Amanda. She couldn't believe her good fortune. She would have

given her eye teeth for the observers to be here behind the

mirror. This early morning interrogation had been spur of the

moment, and now she was paying the price. She let the thought

go. The video cameras would catch it.

"Yes, you could say it affected his mind. But no, the

Mindshredder is not for training... it's for... enlightening,"

said Vera, her voice purring.

"I see. So you enlightened Dr. Lancaster, causing him to turn

himself in?"

"Well, I guess you could say that. The explanation is a bit

more complex."

Amanda felt a shimmering buzz at the back of her head. This was

what she lived for: getting at the truth, unlocking the vault of

mystery. Still staring, she said, rather flatly, "I have all the

time it takes, Vera."

"As you wish. But you have to get into the mindset at the lab.

You have to think like I think. Can you do that, Amanda?"

Amanda felt a slight shock as Vera addressed her informally.

She looked up at the clock on the wall. Except she saw Vera's

eyes there. No, wait. She hadn't looked. It didn't matter. She

had to find out the secret. "Yes, I can do that."

"Good. So as I tell you, just think it yourself. It will all

become very clear to you," soothed Vera.

"Right," said Amanda. Vera noticed that the agent's eyes were

beginning to look a little glassy from staring. It was time to

test the water. "Blink, Amanda."

Amanda blinked and continued to stare. Her eyes were becoming

watery and dilated, now. Things were progressing quite smoothly.

Vera felt a twitch in her pussy as her inquisitor's lips parted

slightly, her breathing becoming slow and steady.

"I think that Dr. Lancaster is guilty as hell. He obviously has

been working alone on this. The rest of the staff has only been

doing their jobs. Investigating them is not only pointless, it

verges on criminal harassment. I have to make sure he pays his

debt to society."

"What do you think, Amanda?"

Amanda worked her way up through the fog. She'd been asked a

question. That didn't seem right, but it was there to answer.

She searched Vera's... no, her thoughts... it was so hard to

tell which was which. Finally, the answer presented itself. "I

think that Dr. Lancaster is guilty as hell. He obviously has

been working alone on this. The rest of the staff has only been

doing their jobs. Investigating them is not only pointless, it

verges on criminal harassment. I have to make sure he pays his

debt to society."

"Yes," continued Vera, "and that is what I should tell all the

agents I work with. And in secret, I need to make sure that any

evidence to the contrary, including the tape and record of this

interview, is destroyed. Everything must point to Dr. Lancaster,

since he is corrupt and evil."

Amanda repeated every word, the thoughts now her own, shaped

and weaved irrevocably into her consciousness.

"And even when others disagree, I hold fast. I am fanatical

about it. That is because I serve a higher purpose. I serve an

ideal that is embodied in my Goddess. My Goddess is Gretchen

Samuels. She is my secret Goddess. I obey and love her. Adore

her. Desire only her pleasure. In fact, my obedience is so deep

that it is less than a thought. I am obedience to Gretchen."

Amanda, now mumbling the words, repeating them even as Vera

continued, followed with her own litany, "...obedience to

Gretchen."

Vera smiled. Amanda smiled. Vera felt her lust rise and

continued, "I am, and always have been a woman who only loved

women, emotionally... physically. A... oh, my, yes... a lesbian.

And since finding Gretchen, I love and obey only Her and Her

followers. I am nothing more and nothing less than Gretchen's

hot little bitch. It is as permanent as granite. To doubt

Gretchen is torture... to betray Gretchen is to die..."

Vera smiled. Who but Gretchen would know that Amanda would be

such a good little sponge...

"I have to congratulate you, Agent Jessop, on the diligent

effort you've put forward to solve this case. I've rarely seen

such a thorough investigation."

"Thank you, sir," said Amanda, beaming. It wasn't just the

praise of her superior that created her joy. It was even more

the fact that she had pleased Gretchen enough to receive the

reward of a night worshipping the crotch of her Goddess.

"In fact," continued the Assistant Director, "it's led to

something quite extraordinary. You have been given an assignment

about which even I have not been allowed to know the details.

You are to report to the address in this envelope. I know it's

all very cloak-and-dagger sounding, but there you have it."

"No idea at all?" questioned Amanda. "That's awfully strange..."

"Yes, but in twelve years, I've learned to live with strange.

You should have seen the two agents I used to work with..."

"I'll do my best, sir," said Amanda, gravely.

"I'm sure you will, Agent Jessop."

Amanda walked down the hall to her office and closed the door.

Sitting down at her desk, she opened the envelope and read the

contents. Then, she tilted back in her chair, and began to

giggle, her hand snaking beneath the waistband of her panties,

furiously pinching and circling her rapidly swelling clit...

----

The room was even darker than normal. The sound of quiet

discussion belied the intensity of the meeting. Even the age and

unseen history of the elegant furnishings seemed to press

inward, transforming average looking men into Medieval

Landowners at the Altar of Power.

Eventually, the voices faded into silence, awaiting comment

from the fifty-ish patriarch at the head of the table.

"We are here to welcome our newest members, gentlemen. In a

moment, they will all be brought in. Although you will see an

obvious break with tradition, I ask that you indulge me. I also

ask that you make no comment as to what you are about to

witness. There are some strategic advantages to what you will

see that may not be immediately obvious."

Muted grumbling was followed by words from a man seated nearby

at the table.

"As you wish, Mr. One."

"Mr. Seven, please bring in the candidates."

The lights over the men faded, bathing them in shadows, and

spotlights bathed the area just inside the entrance, making the

men in the room, for all intents and purposes, invisible. A

young man of perhaps twenty-six went to the door, stepped

outside, and returned with four women.

Mr. One spoke softly, "Medusa watches."

The women shifted, stiffening and staring straight ahead.

"Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet our newest members. From left

to right, let me introduce them. Our delectable buxom scarlet-

haired bombshell with glasses is Dr. Vera Shenander. Next,

slightly shorter, with a severe look that hides incredible

brilliance, and even more incredible passion, is Dr. Robin

Richards. The little plaything beside her is Melissa Palmisano,

an absolute jewel of stealthy observation. And lastly, let me

introduce our inductee fresh from the bowels of the FDI, Ms.

Amanda Jessop.

"These women have been hand-picked, gentlemen. Henceforth, in

this chamber, and *only* this chamber, they shall be known as

Mr. Eight, Mr. Nine, Mr. Ten and Mr. Eleven."

Mr. One looked around the men seated at the table with a hint

of glee.

"I know you didn't expect women to be joining us. However,

dangerous times sometimes call for a break with tradition, no

matter how hallowed it may be.

"Questions?"

Mr. Three began. "Well, the obvious question is why women? With

the Julia Shelton crisis, it would seem women would be the

*last* thing we'd want. Certainly with her talents, she'll

figure out that they work with us and will retaliate."

"A good point," agreed Mr. One. "But I've come up with a rather

unique idea. Ms. Shelton has established herself as the head of

a lesbian Matriarchy, whose apparent goal is world domination.

But there may be a way around her defenses. These women will be

infiltrators.

Mr. Five spat, "Then it's even more dangerous. We know what Ms.

Shelton can do. I don't particularly relish putting my mouth

around the barrel of a loaded pistol, like my late comrades."

Mumblings of agreement moved around the table.

"Just wait and hear me out, gentlemen. I'm sure that shortly it

will all be much more clear to you. Having control of Julia is

the key," said Mr. One, quietly.

"The last Board of Eleven tried that, Mr. One, and failed

miserably," said Mr. Two.

"Which is why they failed, Mr. Two. It was not Julia who should

have been marked for coercion, and not even her followers. We

need someone innocent. Somone militant in her loyalty. These

women, who have never met Julia, are completely and irrevocably

in the thrall of someone named Gretchen Samuels."

"I don't follow," Mr. Six interjected.

"You will, old friend. Now, please, everyone be quiet as I

demonstrate."

Mr. One turned to the four women at the far end of the table.

"Aphrodite responds," he stated flatly.

The women visibly relaxed and smiled, seemingly unaware that

they had been frozen, and completely at home in their

surroundings.

"Come and worship your Goddess, slut-puppets," added Mr. One.

The women moaned and began to slowly remove their clothes,

walking around the table as they dropped their attire on the

floor. By the time they reached the chair of Mr. One, they were

visibly trembling, licking their lips and mewling softly in

arousal.

Mr. One stood, and all four women knelt before him. "Goddess,

may our minds and bodies ever bring you pleasure," whispered

Amanda.

The other quickly joined in.

"Yes, praise our glorious Goddess!"

"She is our Divine Inspiration and Purpose!"

"Yes, Obedience and Love to Gretchen forever!"

The confused looks around the table amused Mr. One, and he took

Robin's chin in his hand. "The others around the table are my

holy consort, which you are joining, my precious slut-puppets.

Robin, please tell them who I am, so that they may know that you

know and live in Truth."

"You are the Almighty Goddess Gretchen Samuels, my Goddess!"

bubbled Robin, as ecstatic tears washed her cheeks. "You are the

Perfect Deity of All Eternity and my only reason for every

breath is to serve You!"

The shocked silence of the room was absolutely delicious.

"Vera, what is your sexual orientation?" asked Mr. One,

feigning innocence.

"I am a lesbian, Goddess, as it has always been and ever shall

be."

"That's right, Vera. Melissa, who is it that you desire.?"

"The followers of Gretchen, and above all, my Goddess Gretchen

Herself! I mean Yourself!" shouted Melissa, enraptured by the

sight of the Holy Queen.

Mr. One unfastened his belt and let his pants drop, and then

his boxers, as the luscious women took the unspoken cue and

helped him step out of them, removing his socks and shoes as

they went. His immense cock sprang forward. "Amanda, how do you

explain this?"

"It is the Holy Appendage of Gretchen, my Queen. You have the

power to manifest Yourself any way You see fit. It is the Cock

of Absolute Desire."

"Very good. I am well pleased in all of you. Amanda, you may be

the first to taste my Holy Flesh."

At the words of praise, all four women collapsed in screaming

fits of orgasm, fingers dancing in their crotches and wantonly

tasting their own juices to entertain their Owner.

Amanda slowly rose to her knees, and stretched out her pointed

tongue to tease the tip of the engorged member, savoring the pre-

seminal fluid that was dripping from it. She licked her lips and

slowly slid her mouth over and down the turgid shaft, her body

quivering with her own arousal at the honor which had been

bestowed upon her.

"Pleasure each other, pets, as Amanda pleasures Me," said Mr.

One, his own voice becoming shaky with excitement. Around the

table, the wide-eyed faces of the other board members stayed

riveted to the display, hands moving underneath the table,

unable to deny their own growing lust.

The women fell to each other, hugrily licking and tasting,

finally falling into a daisy chain, tongues to pussies and

assholes, fingernails raking over wanton, aroused womanflesh,

glorying in their depravity before their Goddess.

Amanda picked up her pace, swallowing Mr. One's cock again and

again, fucking him with her mouth. Her saliva drooled out of her

mouth and she reached back to press a finger into his clenching

asshole, driving his hips into wilder and wilder gyrations, as

even *he* lost sight of the room and his companions.

Suddenly, he felt his prick swell and explode into her waiting

mouth, and he groaned loudly, followed by gasp after gasp as she

swallowed every drop of his holy cum.

And then she fell to her own oblivion, cumming from the

pleasure she had given, the orgasm for the moment slaking her

addiction to the pleasure only her Goddess could provide.

As the other members of the Board began to groan with their own

climaxes, Mr. One began to laugh... and laugh... and laugh...

----

Mr. One peered around the table, every seat filled, finally,

after so long a time. He looked at the newest recruits...

possibly the most rabid loyalists ever to grace this chamber.

"Oh, my precious slaves," he said, the evil syrup of his words

flowing tangibly down the table, "please don your halos."

The four women reached down and lifted transparent visors,

placing them on their heads, pressing small earbuds into place.

Mr. One, looking down at the small console before him, pressed a

button, and smiled as their eyes began to vibrate and then

seemingly disappear as the Mindshredder took hold.

"Gentlemen, this demonstration was the final test. Now we begin

my plan in earnest. These four women, with their many talents,

will no longer serve Gretchen Samuels, but Julia Shelton. The

only difference is, that for them, *I* will be Julia Shelton,

their perfect Goddess. As they infiltrate her organization, and

they are led into obedience, their thoughts will coincide with

every other convert... except when they think of her, it is me

that they will see. And when they see Julia herself, they will

see what they consider to be a blasphemous, malevolent impostor.

"As you can see, their very definitions of what is feminine and

what is masculine can be so obscured and convoluted as to make

them unreadable by our nemesis, and once they are within her

inner circle, they will either use the Mindshredder on her, and

elicit her obedience to us, or Julia Shelton will die."

And, in an event so rare as to be unrecorded in the journals of

the Board of Eleven, the room filled with thunderous applause.
