Chapter 8. The spy mission
May 6th 2027
"Maureen O'Hare and Sally Machin you have been selected for the first mission
into Erlik territory," Major Sutton announced. "Your training isn't as complete
as we would have liked but things are moving fast on the island. We know the
Dutch group is still there but not what is being planned. We feel they may be
doing a deal that is against the interests of this country and to the benefit of
their own. For the rest of today you two are suspended from normal training
routines and will be attending briefings ready for a possible landing tonight.
Dismissed."
Their training had been tough especially for the first week. They were made to
work harder than they ever thought possible, their arses were continuously sore
from the leather hand and their vaginas from being fucked many times a day.
However, possibly because the flesh became inured to the pain, life had become a
little more tolerable. Moreover because of the self-defense training, they had
become much more confident in their ability to take care of themselves.
It wasn't really surprising Maureen and Sally had been selected. They were firm
friends and with Maureen's skill with a bow and now knives and Sally's self
defense skills they made a very good team. Unbeknown to them, it was
anticipated, indeed it was expected, they would quickly be captured and it was
then they would be of most use to the government. A choker with a microphone in
the form of a crucifix was firmly affixed around their necks. The device
transmitted directly to an information centre in Southampton and thence to the
national information headquarters.
"Surely they'll call it off in this weather," Sally stated as they sat huddled
in the lee of a boat at Lymington. "It's more like winter than May." The weather
was unseasonably cold and now it was blowing force 5 and raining.
Pete, one of the S.O.F. soldiers was sitting alongside. He was to take them to a
quiet creek he knew near Yarmouth on the island. "They'll only call if off if
there is a chance the boat won't make it in the sea and with this northerly
wind, we should be okay. They will argue that it would be better to go in
weather like this when visibility is low as they are less likely to spot us."
Five hours later, soaked to the skin they peered over the bank and tried to make
out the lie of the land in the gloom. Everything appeared quiet. They were alone
as Pete had sailed the boat back to Lymington. Maureen pointed to a motor boat
tied a little way along the shore. It was useless to the owner as the engine
would no longer work but it would provide shelter for the pair and perhaps give
them chance to dry out and rest. S.O.F. had provided them with some equipment
including a large Bowie knife and a gemmy. They used the latter to prise off the
lock. Inside the vessel was well appointed. Soft beds with duvets, water and
toilet. They also found items of tinned food. First though all they wanted was
to get dry, get warm and get some sleep. Without any hesitation they both
stripped off and climbed under the duvet together. Maureen pulled Sally close to
her bosom until their breasts flattened against each other. She kissed her
friend and lay back. Both were too tired to worry about anything more. "At least
Staff won't be around to warm our arses tonight," whispered Maureen as they
drifted into sleep.
Sun gleamed fitfully through the portholes before they awoke. Sally carefully
looked out. "There's an Erlik on patrol," she announced. He passed by without
stopping. Their clothes were still wet, so Maureen suggested they open a tin of
fruit salad to save their emergency rations and then wait for nightfall before
moving.
"And what will we do all day?" asked Sally, laughter in her voice.
"I hate to say this Sal, but I am already missing all the cocks we had access
to. Maybe we should relieve each other."
"You Lezzie you! But I have to agree. I'm horny too so we might as well make the
most of our time." Again they went under the duvet but this time with no thought
of sleeping. Sally suckled Maureen's breasts and then concentrated on her
vaginal area. Soon both were slurping at each other's cunts and mewling as they
reached a climax.
"I hope you boys in the information centre didn't come in your pants," Maureen
said quite loudly as she fingered the crucifix, "I can see now why you didn't
put and on/off switch on this thing."
Dusk came and they decided to move. "It's quite a long walk to Ryde especially
if we have to keep stopping and hiding. Let's see if we can find a dinghy or
something and go by water." A mile along the waterway, they found a rowing boat
but no oars. Sally pointed to a nearby shed. "Maybe in there." Again it wasn't
difficult to gain entrance and find what they wanted. The oars were longer than
the ones for the boat but they couldn't be too choosy. Both were glad of their
newly found muscles when they had to lift the dinghy down to the water. They
daren't slide it because of the noise. The tide was flowing in the right
direction but the water was a long way out so it took some time to reach it but
once there they were able to row quietly away from the shore and make their way
along the Solent.
Rvwn returning from his patrol was puzzled when he arrived at where the dinghy
should have been. There were marks in the grass where it had sat but no boat.
Dawn was just breaking and his night vision eyes could see clearly the
impression. He looked seaward but could see nothing. Looking landward he noticed
the shed lock just hanging in place. Remembering he was supposed to keep a
special watch for human females than might be coming to spy on them he decided
he'd best get back quickly to his command post. Taking great looping strides he
hurried to his commander and explained to him. Hearing his story the commander
picked up a cell phone. Although he didn't trust the things, Penny had shown him
how to use it and he hit key 1. Murnst fumbled with the instrument before
answering and then reported to Jacob. Penny overheard.
"They probably think the quickest way here is by water," she deduced. "Murnst,"
she went on, "I know I am only a woman, but I am a human woman and think like
them. If I were them, I would hide in the boat during the day and then carry on
when it got dark. I would guess they want to get to this place to find out what
is going on so I humbly suggest your men be particularly vigilant around here
later on."
Murnst grunted but accepted what she said. The group returned to their business
around the table. Good progress had been made but there were several points not
yet resolved. At least now Yvette wasn't being obstructive. One of the biggest
problems was the area to be covered by the cushion to protect the Erliks. For a
circle to cover the elongated area of the polder, the overlap on the mainland
and sea would not be acceptable. In the end Per came up with the answer when he
asked, "Can Steirnon produce two smaller circles and have them overlap to more
or less cover the area?"
Penny consulted Steirnon and he agreed it was no problem but before he did
anything he wanted to consult Penny personally to find out all that was being
agreed. "When we come to a full agreement, Steirnon, I will come to you and
explain it. So far it seems nearly ideal for the Erliks."
The Dutch farmers thought it could help them too if the Erliks agreed to share
their skills. All had been most impressed by the plant growth the Erliks had
shown them on the previous day. Largely it seemed based on plant companionship.
Plants that grew better when planted side by side.
*****
Four Erliks threw the two bedraggled, mud covered women into the room. A bag
containing their equipment followed. Their plan might have worked had not the
weather once again turned against them. All day they had spent in an open boat
tied alongside a large ship they couldn't climb aboard. Mid afternoon, the
weather once again turned showery wet and windy. Soon they were soaked and cold.
At dusk they started off again but were barely in sight of Ryde when they were
spotted. Unfortunately in their efforts to get away Maureen lost an oar, and the
wind blew them on to the mud where the Erliks quickly captured them.
Jacob asked two Erlik women to strip and wash them. He had no liking for the
smell of the sea shore. When they were brought back naked he allowed Penny to
interview them. "So what's your story?" she asked.
Sally started to give the story they'd concocted. They didn't want to walk the
road from Gosport to Portsmouth so they'd decided to row across but the wind had
taken them away from the mainland and pushed them here.
"Bullshit!" Penny unusually used an expletive. "Two innocent ladies, just
happening to be travelling with a portable bow, large knives and various other
unusual items. Two innocent ladies standing in front of a group of men naked and
not blushing, not even trying to cover themselves. I think that is odd, don't
you?" Maureen and Sally just stood. "Two ladies wearing similar chokers, each it
seems permanently fixed or fixed so the Erlik ladies couldn't take them off.
Strange. Names ladies, please. Your real ones not something made up.
"Rachel Harding." "Alison Mitchell."
"Try again Ladies, you don't seem to be on my list."
Jacob interrupted with an instruction to two of the Erliks that had brought them
in. Quickly they were on their backs over the Erliks lap. Both Sally and Maureen
now knew they were going to get the real thing, not the leather hand.
"Whap! Whap! Whap! The Erlik hand hurt at least as much as the false one but
they knew to keep still and didn't do more than whimper as they received a full
dozen. Penny could see the Erliks were expecting to mate with them as well so
she waited. Both women were turned and placed on their hands and knees and raped
doggie style. They really could feel the difference this time between the
soldiers cocks and the Erliks. Again their training and the large dildoes
allowed them to take the Erliks with comparative ease.
The Dutch group including the naked Yvette looked on. Several sported erections
even though they'd made use of the Erlik females that had been provided.
Penny retrieved a pair of wire cutters from the girl's kit and asked one of the
Erliks to cut the chokers free. She explained to the Erliks in their own
language what they were and what they did and then spoke in english, "To all of
you listening, tell John Lloyd not to do anything rash. Tell him I am not his
public enemy No. 1 and am working to free the world of the suppression cushion.
However this invasion has put the time scale back. Had he cooperated and
negotiated properly instead of underhand workings and deceit we may well have
been able to free England but I am sure Steirnon will not agree to it now, or
not until the Erliks are settled permanently." Turning to Jacob she asked him to
get one of the Erlik guards to throw the chokers as far into the Solent as
possible.
"No one is listening now except us. We know you are part of S.O.F.T. so for
starters tell us your real names."
"Maureen O'Hare" "Sally Machin."
"Well Maureen and Sally I would think your training has been thorough enough for
you to know what to expect while you are here. Have you families on the
mainland?" Both nodded. "And I expect your training was so secret you've had no
contact with them for while?" Tears flowed as they thought of their children and
husbands. "Later, I will try and let you phone them. No promises but if I get
the whole story from you, then I will see what I can do to save your hides a
little." Penny turned to Jacob and spoke in erlik. Returning to the two women.
"Jacob has agreed to have you in his family unit. I guess you know what that
means?"
"Yeah," answered Maureen, "We get beaten and raped by him, just like at camp!"
"At least you are prepared for it and didn't have too much bother earlier. I
could ask for you to be transferred to Murnst's soldier camp if you want
something rougher." The two women shook their heads. "Well then tell us how you
were recruited and what you've been up to these last few weeks."
May 8th 2027
Agreement in principle had been reached by midday and the government of The
Netherlands had authorised a go ahead provided the suppression cushion was
lifted except for the area that was still needed to protect the Erliks on the
Isle of Wight. Penny had to explain it all in detail personally to Steirnon. She
guessed why it was to be personal as he had be kept informed all the way
through. Martin phoned from Gosport. He had ignored his bosses and brought a
cameraman down to the port. "Try and get to Ryde as soon as you can. I'll
arrange for you to be met here. With any luck I'm going to do another space
broadcast in the next hour or so and if you can get here you may be able to meet
and film the people involved."
*****
"Once again you are forced to see me in the naked flesh. The British government
will not allow me access to their news system and indeed I fear I am still enemy
No. 1 as far as John Lloyd is concerned.
For the rest of you I have good news. We have reached an agreement with the
authorities of The Netherlands for the Erliks to live on the major part of the
new Freisland Polder when it is ready in a few months time. Until then they will
continue to occupy the Isle of Wight. Once the Erliks are safely transferred to
their new home, the only remaining part of the suppression cushion will be over
their polder and a very few miles around it. However, until then, I have
negotiated the total lifting of the cushion except for a hundred and twenty
kilometre radius circle centred on Guildford in Surrey. The cushion will cover
the Isle of Wight and will also restrict access from London which will remain
fully under the cushion. The channel port of Dover will be free as will the west
country and northern ports. This should enable supplies to get through. I am
going to have the honour of operating the controls to reduce the cushion in a
few minutes.
Further lifting of the cushion may be possible but only after we, Steirnon and
I, feel we can trust the British government not to act in any way harmful to the
Erliks. Two of their spies have already been captured and for their own safety
are being held on the island. We know others are in training.
Now if I move over...... Whoops!" Penny flew across the room. "Sorry, I'm not
used to this zero gravity bit." Steirnon came into view, put his arms around her
shoulders and took her to the control panel. Prior to the broadcast he's shown
her what to do. On a map of the world, parts of the northern hemisphere where
blanketed over. Penny operated a wheel and reduced the diameter of the blanket
to 240 kilometres and then pushed it until its centre was over Guildford. "I'm
sorry Guildford," Penny said, "I've nothing against your city. You just happen
geographically to be in the right place."
"For the rest of you who are now outside the cushion, please try and make the
most of your new opportunity. For many I realise it has been a dreadful
experience but for those living under the warring factions in the Middle East
and in Africa you have experienced peace. Please try and continue to live
together in harmony.
Please also remember, the Erliks were not responsible to the chaos of April 1st.
They have strange features and strange customs by human standards but in reality
they are peaceable people who are farmers at heart. We can learn from them and I
know they have already learned a lot from us. Not all of it good. Let us all try
and live in harmony with them too."
As usual after the transmission ended, Steirnon held her tightly to his chest
while his piston prick pummeled her vagina until she had climaxed twice and he
had poured his semen into her womb.
An hour later she reappeared at the house in Ryde. "Hi Martin," Penny greeted
him as she searched for a dress to cover her nakedness, "Been here long?"
"Ten minutes, I think we've been introduced to most of those here but they
wouldn't let us unload the camera until you got back."
"Well I suppose we ought to do the usual prestige things like interviewing Jan
for his views, and the others too, particularly for Dutch TV. Your bosses still
might not accept it." Penny and Martin did this.
Yvette seemed very subdued. When Penny was able to get her alone to ask the
problem Yvette asked, "Are you really pregnant with an Erlik child?"
"As far as I can tell, yes. Are you likely to get pregnant too?" Yvette nodded
and began to cry. Penny tried to calm her. "You could get an abortion," she
said.
"No, I'm a pro-life campaigner. I can't do that. I wasn't on the pill or
anything because I never went with a man, not since I was raped when I was
sixteen. With our better standard of living these days I'm probably still able
to have babies at forty and I am at the fertile time of my cycle."
"Yvette, all I can suggest is you brave it out. Have the baby and be proud of
it. Tell the world you did it because you had to. Say it was necessary to help
get the cushion lifted." Penny paused. "I shall do the same. I don't know if I
will want to live with the Erliks full time but after having sex with them I
wonder if any man will satisfy me. Did not Murnst satisfy you? After the hurt
and indignation went?"
Yvette just nodded.
