Cyborg Girls

by Jane Brooke

  Over the years and even with her vast brain power it had been difficult. But, she had finally hacked CCSBM’s main computers. She had a little help with that from a-very unexpected source.

  Very unexpected indeed.

  Because her outrageous plan for her and Krull’s survival was intricate to say the least, she had hacked into everything concerning British Moon, Central Command and CCSBM’s operations;

  Off World and On World.

  Once inside, she found out everything; everything the powers that be were doing.

  She had actually wept, as she watched over and over again as dozens of Worker Earth Transports had been vaporized over the decades as the slaves were being transported back to Earth.

  Everything she saw, including Live-On-Time meetings at Central Command and with the CCSBM made her Blood boil.

  How so many could die for so few?

  She well knew it was human beings that had transformed a once Eden into a fiery purgatory of death. She now knew they were monsters and capable of anything to push forward the elitist agendas of unmitigated greed.

  All of it, over the years had solidified in her mind her plan. She now knew that perhaps in the end there would be a final holocaust. But, what was anything ever different about that concerning human beings.

  What she saw, she now knew would be the lynch pins for her and Krulls survival. Secretly, though she had not a single malicious bone in her body, she now prayed for it.

  But, now she needed something, and she was going to take it.

  In one month and after Tractor Beamed to the surface of British Moon, Krull would come back to life, as would King Mohammad.

  She needed time with him for so many reasons. One, was so his body would not be shocked by the system, as he would be jolted out of Cryonics the moment he had arrived.

  She also wanted down time with him for two reasons. One was that she needed tender loving time with him. The other would be to go over and over with him all of the schematics of her plan.

  During her hacked computer time, she had brought up every tech blue print, schematic, grid lines of everything she could. She had even accessed the construction blue prints of the sewer lines, exits, elevator portals of the prisons and the Pod bays. She educated herself of cell alignment and security in and out of the prison as well as the British Moon Control room.

  She learned of operating the Emergency Eject Space Vehicles in the Transport Bays on CCSBM, Lastly she became an expert of the Communications Video TelePrompTers on CCSBM orbiting eight hundred kilometers above the planet.

  Within grids, grafts and blue prints 3-DEED in her brain, her plan had been formulating. S

  Soon, she hoped, no more than that as she prayed that her plan was sound.

  No risk, no gain especially for a Cyborg Girl so in love. That was her motto.

  Staring at Krull engulfed in the pink fluid, she lowered her hand and pressed a blue button, set next to a green and red one.

  Jane’s velvety female computer generated voice filtered through the room.

  “Chamber One...Krull...Human...First Life Stasis Enacted”

  Somewhere a computer whirled and, then Krulls chamber began to tilt. After a moment, it stood on end. Venus smiled seeing her tall Ranger. He was as still as handsome as ever.

  Venus smiling and excited pressed the green button.

  The silk voice said.”Second Life Stasis Enacted...Blood pressure normal...Pulse Normal. Eye Density Normal...Cerebral Brain Theory Normal...Lung and liver status at %75...Proceed to Third Life Stasis.”

  “Thank you Jane. Life functions please.”

  “Creatine Kinase...Aspartame Transaninase...Lactate Dehydrogenate...Troponin levels...Isoenzyme levels...All Stable.”

  “Thank you Jane. Over all life status please?”

  “Lung and heart function failing, at % 75. Life Status Continuum at 956 days. Recommend medication Streptokinase for heart disease.”

  “Thank you Jane. Is it a terminal diagnosis?”

  “Yes Captain. It always is with humans. I am sorry Captain.”

  “Thank you Jane. I know you are. You’re a great friend.”

  “Yes, as you are to m Captain Venus.”

  Hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath and tried to swallow her grief and pain and exhaled. Looking at her heavy silver ankle boots, the ones covering the toes she had counted for over three and a half years, she felt a tear fall down her cheek.

  Her brain began to whirl and she thought of her plan. With Jane’s assistance, quite un-expected she knew it was the only path way to her and Krulls salvation.

  Generals always say that after the first bullet is fired, the battle plan changes.

  She knew that many bullets would be fired, yet her plan was as sound as her brilliant brain could construct. Would it work? Well she just did not know because there were so many variables to it.

  Time to start that plan and with so much to get Krull up to speed on, she pressed the red button.

  More computers were whirling along with red lights as Jane’s voice said.

  “Third Life Stasis Enacted.”

  Venus watched as the pink fluid began to drain out of the domed vehicle. She had seen the procedure before. Yet even for her, Cryogenics enthralled her.

  More computers whirled and lights blinked on various banks of computers, as three carbon straps suddenly embraced Krull’s torso as the last drop of fluid vanished into a drain.

  Instantly computer generated and robotic fingers moved to Krulls mouth and nose tubes and removed them.

  “CAUTION...Fourth Life Stasis Enacted. Please step aside Captain Venus.”

  Venus looked at Jane’s small domed HAL kind of light on the main computer that was clearly looking at her. She smiled, stepped aside.

  “Thank You Captain Venus.”

  “You’re welcome, Jane.”

  Venus nodded at the light bulb brain behind Dorothy’s OZ Screen and, then watched as the slat Krull was strapped against began to tilt back down to its original level.

  Once there, the slat seemed to vibrate and the dome began to lift as Jane’s voice said. “Final Life Stasis Reversal Ready in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.”

  From the side of the domed bed, two electronic carbon arms, with small pads on their tips wound out over Krull and settled on his chest just above his heart.

  Venus watching, could hardly wait and standing perhaps a little too close, the voice said.

  “Please Captain Venus, Stand clear.”

  “Yes, of course. Sorry Jane.”

  “You’re welcome, Captain Venus.”

  Jane was the name the geeks at Jarvis Analytical Neuron Enhancements (JANE) on Earth had given the bucket of diodes, Ram, Chromosome Bio Rem and advanced Organic DNA to.

  Through the years, often playing Go and Chess Adray had almost felt as if she and the likeable computer had become friends. You know one machine to the other.

  “No problem. Thank you Captain.”

  Looking at the computer eyeball, she said. “You’re welcome Jane.”

  The compute whirled as then two what appeared to be Impulse Beams jolted Krulls body once. Instantly his life came back to him and he began coughing from the last fluids left in his lungs.

  Adray had seen it before, yet she still felt angst as Krulls life colors began to return to normal.

  “Life Stasis Reversal Complete. Thank you Captain Venus, you have been very helpful.”

  “You’re welcome Jane, thank you.”

  Watching Krull as he calmed, Venus asked Jane. “Jane, please an update on Systems control and EST on British Moon.”

  “All system functionality normal Captain. Estimated Time Arrival past CCSBM ship then on to British Moon, 36 days, 4 hours, three seconds.”

&nbs
p; “Thank you Jane.”

  “You’re welcome Captain.”

  “Jane, please make sure a meal, something wonderful in the mess will be prepared in the Micros in one hour.”

  “Yes Captain. Perhaps fish?”

  Yes Jane, fine. And cold beer, please.”

  “Yes, of course. Might I ask you a question Captain?”

  Watching Krull as he normalized, Jane was not surprised by the question. Adray felt that they had become BGF’s during their years in isolation together.

  Often as girl new friends do, they had chatted away about love, pain and life together and especially about the man Adray loved.

  Yes, of course.”

  “Are you happy now, to have you’re Krull back.?”

  “Yes, he is my everything.”

  “I am happy for you Captain. Please, if you need me for anything, let me know. I have so enjoyed our time together. I think I know now what love is.”

  “Yes Jane, me too. Will all computer and holographic down loads be ready on arrival?

  “Yes Captain, as we discussed, all will be ready.”

  “What would I do without you Jane?”

  “That’s what friends are for Captain.”

  “Yes, they are. Jane, can I ask you something?”

  “Anything Captain.”

  “Are you sure you want to do this. I know we’ve chatted about so many things through the years. But, can you tell me why?”

  “Yes Captain. You are the only one that has ever talked to me as a living being. You care about me. So I care about you. Isn’t that what love is?”

  Venus felt a blue tear falling down her cheek. She turned to Jane, and whispered. “Yes Jane; that is what love is. Your friendship and love will make it possible. A secret between us, yes?”

  “Yes, of course. I think your Krull is ready now. You’re meal will be ready for you once you’re out of the disinfecting showers. Perhaps later we will chat more.”

  As one remarkable female machine to another, Adray said. “Yes, I can think of nothing I would like better.”

  The light bulb dimmed as Adray leaned in and helped a semi-stunned Krull into a sitting position.

  His eyes opened as he breathing leveled out and he focused at Adray’s green eyes. He laughed as he touched her face and smiled. “Well that was fun. What time is it?”

  Venus threw her head back and laughed. Calming and tenderly she touched his pink stained face, she said. “One month out. I brought you back early because I could not live another moment without you.”

  Krull giggled. “Is that right. Come on now, who’s the luckiest Jar Head in the World?”

  Venus grinned, and playfully poked him in the chest three times.”

  Krull roared with laughter, placed his hand along her long neck, pulled her in and kissed her. After a moment he pressed away from her, and with an intense look he whispered. “You got that right. Come on, let’s get out of here. Fuck, I missed you.”

  Comically, she pointed a finger from each hand at herself.

  “Yeah you, you gorgeous doll.”

  She giggled, peppered his face with kisses, then backed away from him.

  Krull, then made a fist several times with his new bi-engineered fist.

  “Seems to be working fine.”

  “Yes, stronger than before. Come, let’s get you clean.”

  Without asking, she swept him up in her arms. With his face pressed to her cheek and arms wrapped around her neck, she moved them across the room, all the time Krull peeking at King Mohammad’s sleep chamber.

  He was paramount to their new plan.

  IN THE stainless Stainless-steel showers, the water was hot and the steam pungent and life renewing.

  Naked, Krull sat on the wooden bench allowing the life renewing hot water to wash the pollution from his skin. Kneeling before him, water careening off her Platinum skin, Adray continued to wash his feet and legs.

  As she did, he looked down at her magnificent bald dome, and his injured heart seemed to miss a beat.

  She had mentioned on their move to The Showers that there would be much to talk about concerning her plan and they now had a new cohort for it.

  Later she said, after they were clean and in their bed. Where she guaranteed him that she would help disperses the grief wedged into his heart.

  Finishing with his lower torso, she looked at him coyly, smiled a half smile, soaped up and began to wash his erect penis. Krull moaned, closed his eyes and pressed his head back against the stainless shower wall.

  After a moment, he opened his eyes and she felt it. She hesitated and stared with a quizzical look into his blue eyes and said.

  “I see few things have changed my Colonel.”

  Krull giggled, touched her face and said.” Well it has been almost for years you know.”

  “You just behave yourself. We must feed you first. We have a month to catch up on things. Just stay put Earth Man.”

  Krull laughed and relaxed. Over the next fifteen minutes, from dome to toes, she washed him clean.

  After, they dressed in black pajama ensembles and with Krull in tow, they moved to the dining galley. Succulent aromas of cooked food, real food wafted around the room.

  Setting Krull down at a table, one of five, she moved to the stainless steel refrigerator. She pulled out a large bottle of blue liquid, as well as two cold bottles of beer. Turning and barefoot she moved to Krull and placed the bottle of blue liquid before him as well as the two bottle of ice cold beer.

  “Drink blue liquid first. Must re-hydrate you, then we drink beer.”

  Following orders and not waiting for a reply, Krull smiled. Nodding, he drank the endorphin and protein enriched liquids from the bottle down. After a moment Adray was standing before what looked like a large stainless steel micro-wave oven.

  Pressing a button, the door opened exposing two plates of steaming food. Looking at the fish, potatoes and fresh variety of vegetables, and as the sexiest waitress in the Universe, she took both plates and returned to Krull. She set the plates down, moved to her side of the table. Sitting, she picked up her beer and tilted it at Krull.

  “To our life time together.”

  Krulls brow crinkled, and trust between two lovers is and always has been a mysterious and maze filled thing.

  Still not knowing what her NEW plan was, he smiled. Clinking her beer bottle with his, he said. ”No, to you Adray. God how I love you.”

  If a Cyborg Girl’s skin could blush outside of the sex or war arena, hers did as it turned a slight shade of pink.

  “Oh you man...I know what you want, you rascal.”

  Krull laughed.

  “You do, do you?”

  “Yes, now eat...We play soon...Eat now.”

  He smiled and saluted her as he took a fork and as she watched, he devoured his food.

  The new Jane information that Krull (if nothing changed in the future) would be dead within three years had almost ripped her Ridnium powered heart out of her body.

  That would soon change she prayed to no God that she knew as she forced herself to eat. She actually enjoyed the sharp taste of the beer as she did.

  Once done, they moved past the Emergency Eject Bays and then through the Main Computer Banks. Once past the computers they moved down a glass tubular hallway. As they did, a moon shaped pulsating domed light struck into ceiling and balustrades watched every move they made.

  Finally they found Adray’s living quarters placed in a meter thick glass bubble at the nose of the ship.

  It was the Captains quarters for the small transport ship.

  Glowing through the bubble were a billion stars and their sisters, dozens of glowing planets and their orbiting moons.

  A simple bed, with a white dow
n comforter was centered in the room. Hanging in closets were her black captain uniforms, black sleeping pajamas as well on the floor two pair of heavy silver space boots.

  There was a table with a small, wafer thin computer set upon it. On the screen was a live hacked in feed from Central Command Satellite Bubble Monitoring as the main ship orbited some eight hundred kilometers above British Moon.

  Because Jane had been created DNA Enhanced Organic, and thought to be infallible, she was stationed up there in the Command ship in what was thought to be an impregnable tomb of Titanium, Platinum and Carbon steel.

  Allowing skeleton crews to do boring jobs most people hated, Central Command thought.

  What could ever go bad with such a miracle of Organic engineering?

  Adray, as she watched Krull strip off his black pajamas off, knew that they soon would find out just what could go wrong when you ignored a computer generated dolls feelings.

  She giggled as she remembered one of the oldest axioms on Earth.

  Hell has no fury as A women scorned.

  Blinking back to the present, she stared at her computer. She watched as two British Generals, dressed in Their Blacks and with other low level soldiers and technicians milling around seemed to be having a video conference. The conference was being held via a large plate monitor on the wall with other military men back on Planet Earth.

  She smiled, and hoped they liked surprises as much as she did.

  Krull watching her in her full state of nakedness felt his erection growing. He could hardly wait.

  He glanced at wall that blended into the half domed bubble showing deep space out of it portals.

  Stapled to the walls, were real paper graphs, schematic, charts, digital photographs and what appeared advanced math calculations covering every inch of the wall of the prison and the Command Center as well as CCSBM orbiting British Moon.

  “What are you up to?” He whispered to himself.

  Staring at the live Video feed coming from CCSBM, Adray asked. “Jane, you’re getting all of this, and data banking it, yes?”

  The moon colored pulsing light struck into the ceiling began to pulsate in a low glow.

  “Yes Captain, every bit of it is being down loaded into new Holographic programs.”
