Day 3 AC (After the Crash)
Time: 10:30 (Endeavour Time)

---

We will probably have to revise our measure of time to fit with this planet's rotation around it's own axis soon though because it certainly is not following the 24 hours we used on The Endeavour or back on Earth for those who remember that. I don't I was born en route to what would become the first human colony outside the solar system. Astronomers had found what they call a class M planet that would be able to sustain Earth life form, such as us humans but also cattle, and plants. The Endeavour was built and launched. A second colony ship was then begun but that's as far as out history teachers knew. No one knew if the second colony ship was even launched and now … with The Endeavour gone … who knows … we might be the last humans in the universe … Three families, less than two dozen individuals in all. Yea, good luck with that.

It has been 2 whole days now I've spent either in bed or limping around on my improvised crutches with my broken foot in an equally improvised cast made from plaster bandages and two spare metal tubes about as thick as my thumb. Abeba says it will heal but also that because the cast isn't as firm as it should ideally be I might end up with a permanent limp. I'll get to how I got it later right now I just have to sort things in my head.

It was absolute chaos from The Endeavour's ship wide alarm to evacuate waking us all up in the middle of the night to me strapping myself into the navigations and communications chair in just my pyjamas shorts and a tight spaghetti strap top that left most of my belly exposed, to Owen climbing into the co-pilot seat and strapping in with our dad taking the helm, Nate and mum hopefully having managed to strap in for a bumpy ride down in the common room. Everyone was shouting at each other directly or over the COMs, to do this, do that, check this, check that.

I barely had time to get all of The Esmeralda's (our the Jupiter) navigations systems up before an explosion somewhere deeper in the Jupiter hangar helped us launch away from The Endeavour, or rather it threw us away from it, far away enough for us to not get caught in its wake as it began an uncontrolled spiralling descent towards the nearby star, what we now call the sun, ironic huh?

By the time Dad and Owen had The Esmeralda under control all we could do was watch The Endeavour break apart as it was pulled in by the star's gravity along with almost every Jupiter that had not made it far enough away from the hangars. I won't lie. I did cry because each Jupiter pulled in with The Endeavour housed a family and as far as I knew then Abeba might be on one of them, as far as any of us knew then we might be the last six humans outside Earth's solar system. I think we were all crying, or at least very emotional. I remember reaching across the consoles to take Owen's hand for comfort.

But then as the smoke cleared the external COMs started crackling and I burst into tears of joy and began to giggle uncontrollably as I heard the sweetest most treasured voice ask: "Is anyone still out there?"

It was Abeba. She was alive which meant that The Nyong'o-Robinsons had also made it far enough away from The Endeavour to not be pulled in.
"YES WE ARE!" I screamed ecstatically and almost leaped out of my seat.
"Cait?" I heard my girlfriend ask and then also cry out with joy.
"Beba Baby!" I called back and we both giggled hysterically with the pure joy that the other was still alive.
We were so happy that neither of us had to mourn the other while stranded in space that we barely noticed the subtle cough that also came through in our ear pieces. It was Riley Mercer making contact to let us know that the Mercer family too had survived the crash and that was it. Three Jupiters of 12 dozen. Better than just one I suppose but still not the best of odds for the survival of the human species.

And that … is why there is a contingency plan, an alternate breeding protocol. I guess there is nothing for it. After all even with the original breeding protocol in place I wa always required to produce at least two children, with two different males. As horrible as it sounds having to let two different males penetrate and leave their seed inside me sounds it would be a necessity in order for the colony to grow. With the contingency plan that number is now three with three different males. But hey what's a poor lesbian to do in the face of the potential extinction of her species, right?

Anyhow; we were in luck though. The fourth planet from the star that ate The Endeavour was an M class planet that the astronomers back on Earth must have either missed or determined to be too small. Or they had rejected it for some other reason. I don't know and it really doesn't matter either. It's not like we really had any choice but to land here.

All three Jupiters entered the atmosphere in formation and began looking for a good spot to land. It had to be near fresh water and with a climate that could sustain farming. As we flew across a large forest heading for a spot near a lake shaped somewhat like a seven Owen pointed at something as we passed over it. It did look like ruins of some kind of primitive structures. Was there already a civilisation on this planet and if so how would they react to an alien species arriving, that is what we would be to them after all, an alien species. Hopefully they would react better than I think us humans would have reacted, at least based on the books and movies written on the theme human response was never to just welcome the aliens. Then again the aliens rarely came in peace so …

Now for that damned broken foot.

It was as Dad started braking for landing that it became clear that one of the brake engines was damaged and the Jupiter wasn't responding as it was supposed to. I had forgotten to strap back in for landing, or more likely just ignored it, as I had retreaded to my cabin to talk more privately with Abeba and sure I did notice the Jupiter being a bit wobbly but it wasn't something that seemed to be cause for concern I did however decide to strap myself into one of the seats in the common room with Mum and Nate but I barely made it out of bed before The Esmeralda wobbled quite a bit more than before and threw me off my balance. As I grabbed for the door frame I felt my left foot fold underneath me followed by a piercing pain that suggested right there and then that it was broken, a simple, clumsy, stupid accident. Nothing more.

But here I am. Stuck on crutches while Abeba and Owen are off having fun exploring those potential ruins he saw on the way down. And of course Nate went with them leaving me all alone with Mum, Dad and Mia, and nothing useful to do. A simple stupid accident less and I'd be out there with them exploring plants and trees and all kinds of interesting stuff.

Day 3 AC (After the Crash)
Time: 6 pm (Endeavour Time)

More like noon judging by the sun's position. It's been a confusing few days for the body to adjust to a seemingly shorter day. We're all still more or less running on a 24 hour cycle but the day here seems to be about 18, maybe 18 and a half hours long.

I must admit that it was curiousity that had me agreeing to join Owen on his expedition to find the ruins he claimed to have seen on the way down. Caitlin had also seen them as he pointed them out to her but the further we drove from the colony, as the adults call it, I'm not so sure, the more I began to think he hadn't seen anything at all but here we are.

From what I could see in the Chariot's headlights when we arrived about 10 hours ago, before Nate told Owen to turn them off, to preserve battery but also to not attract unnecessary attention from whatever might be lurking out there, the ruins appear to have been abandoned for a long time, long enough that it is more than plausible that whoever built them is either extinct or have moved on up the civilisation ladder. Kinda like how humans back on Earth moved from the neolithic to the bronze age and on to the iron age and so on. I wouldn't say that the ruins appear to be very advanced, perhaps equivalent to the bronze age back on Earth, maybe early iron age. Then again who knows.

Now that I've had time to look at it all in daylight I still feel that these ruins are not only very old but also about as advanced as maybe early classical era back on Earth. The stone work at least suggest as much. Now of course I'm far from qualified to speak as an archaeologist might have been and this is all concluded from what I've learned in history class and also from the level of engineering required to construct what must once have been a perfectly smooth pillar of some sort of stone that strongly resemble marble. I've collected a small sample that had fallen to the side and when we get back to the colony I'll show it to grandpa. I think he's the only one among us old enough to possible have actually seen real marble back on Earth.

I don't know what's taking Jaali so long. He should be breeding Lea every chance he gets by now, that white girl Khandi's new white ass husband brought into our family. He busies himself with the colony's security and that is, of course, important since we don't know what is out there.

Abeba's gone off with those two Drake boys. I certainly understand her curiousity at the chance of examining what may be the remains of a dead civilisation on this new world but I don't trust those two white boys one bit.

Now as for my daughter in law. I've told both her and that pale ass husband of hers that we need to implement the contingency breeding protocol as soon as possible but he doesn't like the idea of me breeding his wife and she dodges me every chance she gets. There is always something that needs her attention, be it fresh water from the lake, or meetings about setting up a farm and how to irrigate it, or any other excuse she can find to avoid me claiming my right to breed her. I'll be damned if she has another half breed kid before she has another pure African child.

Sadly though I may have to break a few rules to avoid it. I am after all the only African male here who is not related to her by DNA.

Day 3 AC (After the Crash)

Time: 2:30 (Endeavour Time)


It happened quickly I only made it back to the Jupiter within seconds to spare. If I hadn't my family would have been alive on this planet without me and I would have been killed along with everyone else that had been stuck on the Endeavour. I was conducting a briefing were we planning on doing a scouting mission a nearby planet. I had done these scouting missions before and was placed in charge of the team. As I was speaking to the General at the time the alarms sounded off and I sprung into action. My family was the most important people in my life and I wasn't going to abandon them. Heck I was the reason why they were on the Endeavour in the first place.

I rushed back to the Jupiter to ensure that I made it back to them safely. As I was the Jupiter's pilot I quickly dashed to the pilot's seat, my stepdaughter Teri wanted to fly but I wasn't having it. Maybe if it was a routine mission perhaps but not when the Endeavour was being ripped apart. So I strapped Teri next to me, she could be my co-pilot. Once I got the conformation that everyone of my family members were safe and strapped into something I flew the Jupiter out of harms way. I could only but hear the Endeavour come down, it was all I could do. At least my family was safe. Riley was the one that informed the other two Jupiter's that we were safe and a plan was formed to fly down to a planet and meet up with everyone else.

That was three days ago. Within those three days we came up with a breeding protocol. I for one had no issue in breeding with every single woman on this new colony. Still with the protocols being put in place I find myself being the one to enforce these rules. I have no idea how my wife Ana truly thinks of the new situation. I might have to speak with her privately. But I will not let anyone else beat me to breeding the twins. I will be damned if I let anyone else have a crack at them first before I claim them. I don't like what I've been told about the Drake boys and Jaali I have no idea about. I will claim my girls first before I let anyone else fuck them. So that was my plan soon. They are sharing an Cabin on the upper floor while my other daughter is in K Cabin, which is close to mine and my wife's.

Co-piloting The Dandelion in a high pressure situation was quite exciting even if I had of course wanted to pilot it. Then again Dad's a much more experienced pilot so of course it made more sense, considering that The Endeavour was breaking apart behind us as we got the hell out of there, taking so many less fortunate Jupiters with it into the sun.

No one seemed to know what had gone wrong, at least none of the survivors, three Jupiters in all. As I realised we were safe I grabbed both Riley's hand across the COMs panel and Dad's on the other side and just breathed. It had been stressful and it was a good thing Dad had taken the helm because I had made so many small mistakes that it had almost cost us an engine as we entered the atmosphere. Dad of course, being a much more experienced pilot, had saved us and being who he is had not yelled at me or even mentioned it until we were safely on the ground when he suggested that once we were settled in we should perhaps do a bit more training with him co-piloting and me, under less stressful circumstances first take The Dandelion out into orbit and then back in out of orbit.
"Practice makes for experience and experience makes for fewer mistakes," he said quite calmly.

The last three days have been quite busy helping Mac with repairs, both on the Jupiter and the Chariot, not that she needs any help except or someone to hand her a screwdriver here and a wrench there, but it's been something to do, other than of course checking out the boys from the other two Jupiters. That black kid is one hot stud muffin to be sure, and to be perfectly honest, his granddad isn't half bad either. None of the boys and men are but I know Dad will probably want to be first to breed us, me and Riley. He is after all when it comes down to biology only our stepdad, not that that matters one bit, we're a family and I don't recall ever really having called him anything but Dad. And if I know him as well as I think I do he will probably pay me and Riley a nightly visit just as soon as everything is properly settled in. Maybe even tonight.

Maybe flirting a bit with the black kid, Jaali I think his name is, when he passes by our Jupiter on his patrol of the perimeter might perhaps motivate Dad to act sooner rather than later. Or maybe I could be a little extra friendly to his son Theo and see if that gets him going. I wonder how he will decide which one of us to breed first, maybe he will make a competition out of it, like maybe who gives the best BJ.

Oh well. I should probably get dressed now and head down for breakfast, or maybe I should just head down to breakfast as I am, in just panties and a tank top that is a bit too small for me. Just for a bit of teasing fun.

I guess we are lucky, we survived. I don't know what happened or why, everything started so fast. I was purely focused on the younger children, making sure they were with us and secured in their seats in the crash cabin, the safest part of the jupiter from what I was told. Charles and the older children are very capable and I'm grateful for that. Even Mathias' dad survived, I guess I'm grateful for that too, but he has been real creepy since the crash. He is going on about the fine print of the contract, something about an emergency protocol. I haven't had time to read it carefully myself but somehow the crazy old man thinks it gives him the right to fuck me, hell breed me like a fucking prize heifer. He has another thing coming!

From what I did scan from the protocol though, the one man I can't get pregnant by is my own husband. Our shared children, as lovely as they are, prohibit us from having more until I bear and he father's three more. Three more! I guess we shall see how well those enhanced fertility drugs they distributed work on a woman my age. Of course, that assumes we will even take this seriously, I mean who reads all that fine print anyway? I'm going to make a point of getting out and talking to some of the women in the other jupiters, surely we are going to put our collective feet down and put a stop to this nonsense. If nothing else, it will keep me away from Capheus and his hair brained ideas.

Day 3 AC (After Crash)

Well, I guess I finally got to use my comm studies to good use...in the worst possible way. After the crash, I was thankful to reach Caitlin, hearing the Drakes and the Nyong'o-Robinsons survived the decent as well. Looks like the Mercer's will have new neighbors.

I will admit, it was nice to see Dad successfully land us safely in the surface, but that does not mean I'm happy with him. He took us out here and now we are stranded! You can practice for disasters all you want, but nothing will truly make you ready for the real thing. Thankfully Mom has been a calming force in all of this. As much as I want to be mad at her as well...I just can't.

Here is the other kicker from all this shit...breeding protocol! Yep, every girl gets to be knocked up. There is nothing we can do about this so I guess that means, Teri, Mac, and I all get to eventually be teen mothers while Theo can be a dad. Must be fun for the guys. Funny to think that we were told to always practice safe sex, so I guess that talk was for nothing. It's fine, now I can bring boys back to my cabin with mom and dad getting mad. I can just claim I'm satisfying the breeding protocol.

I'm noticed dad look at the family slightly different, even more so Teri and I. He has always been very protective of us all, but I wonder how he feels knowing that one of the men from the other families will be assigned breed his daughters. Then again, Teri has been sharing that same look back. As for me, I think I will go over and visit the Drake brothers soon. I wouldn't mind getting between them. Maybe I will bring one of them back here so dad can catch me...just to piss him off more.

I guess I should head downstairs for breakfast before my slutty twin sister eats everything. Besides, I have to convince grease monkey Mac to find some new clothes that are not dirty overalls.

I still can't believe it. Everyone, well almost everyone, gone! Just like that, it probably hadn't been 3 to 5 minutes from the time the first alarm sounded and all but 3 jupiters had been obliterated. Maybe there was hope for a few more, but from what I observed it was only by virtue of us being close enough to the explosion to be thrown free but far enough to not be damaged. Also that we were pointed away from the star, now our sun, that we weren't pulled into the gravitational field of the sun. The jupiters were cozy little ships but they simply didn't have the thrust to weight ratio to achieve escape velocity once launched towards a star at such close range. All those poor families, it breaks my heart to think of it.

I'm so grateful my family all made it out safely. Dad was a pretty good pilot, not flashy like some of the others, but competent. I like to think I did my part, the navigation was a little tricky what with escaping the star's gravity then working out the descent angles so we didn't burn up in the atmosphere of this planet we are calling Neomoria, or something like that. It was all so intense, then the landing. When I finally got to sleep it felt like I slept for days. My clock says 10:30 but it looks like sunrise, I'm all screwed up with time. I suppose I should go find out what the news is and maybe meet some of the kids my age. I suppose there will be a lot of chores to do, probably going to be pretty boring around here. I'm just glad Jaali is so vigilant, I feel pretty safe around him. Maybe he will go with mom and I to meet the other families tomorrow?

It looks like I may live after all. The wreck of the mother ship was horrific, I've never been so frightened in my life. Alex did a great job of flying us out of there and what luck to find a habitable planet within range. I'm just taking a quick moment after feeding the family breakfast, more by the clock than the daylight outside, or lack of it. Everyone is still kind of in shock what with all the death, but I just can't stop feeling how lucky I am to be alive. Sure things have changed, drastically but that isn't all bad. Not that I've had it that bad with the Drake's, I'm not really their au pair but it was a good cover story to get me on the ship without too much judgement from the authorities or other families.

But now everything has changed. I don't really need to pretend to be anything than what I am, the wife of Alexander and Elizabeth Drake. I like to think I've been more of a second mom to the older kids than just the hired help. After all, they know I sleep with their parents, they aren't stupid after all. The sex is great, but from what I understand their is going to be a lot more of it. We had always planned for Alex to impregnate me once we reached our colony site and I'm excited for that. Tough break for Elizabeth though, with these new rules they pulled out she isn't supposed to get pregnant by Alex, but someone else. I guess we are all 'fair game' now and it is hard to look at the Drake kids quite the same way. I wonder if they are all thinking it, especially the boys. Maybe one of them will beat daddy to my eggs? Or some of the other men and boys of the other ships. It's like a sexual smorgasbord. Sure only one can get me pregnant, but it isn't like I can't let some other try, right? I think of all the families, we are best ready for this kind of environment, it isn't like we really chose to stop at just three after all. I'm not sure what is going to happen, but I don't think it will be boring.

Day 2 AC
0930 (Endeavour Time)

--BEGIN LOG ENTRY--

One thing they always tell you in training, is that the real thing doesn't compare. Turns out they're right. When the alarm went off aboard the Endeavour, it was like an automatic pilot took over my body: get to the hangar, get aboard the Esmeralda, make sure everyone's secure, strap in, etc. I sat in the weapons station, of course; it was little more than a popgun for blasting oncoming asteroids, but it was still my place on any ship. It seemed pitifully useless in the situation and I was shaking from head to toe. And then, off we went, very much like a bullet being fired from a gun, the Endeavour's reactor core acting as the propellant. But no one ever crammed a family of people inside a bullet. If they had, they'd be shot themselves for crimes against humanity. Luckily we managed to get our Jupiter under control before we crashed into something, and better yet, there were two other family groups with us. So, we weren't entirely alone, but nor did we have the numbers we set out with.

Enter the breeding protocol. I'm not gonna lie, I read that part of the contract a few times over just to make sure it was real. Being born aboard the Endeavour, we had a different set of expectations and rules than if we were still on Earth. According to the company that sent us on this wild goose chase*...well, what did that matter now anyway? We're all a little bit older and no more wiser than we were when we put our thumbscan on those datapads, not knowing what we'd end up going through... All those people. All of my brothers and sisters in arms, gone, killed in the most devastating ways I can think of. I had nightmares my first three nights here and I don't expect they'll subside anytime soon. I dream of watching them get crushed in the gravity, or vaporized in the star's superheated plasma. Somehow they all have the face of Jacinda, that sniper from B-Company. I was real sweet on her, was thinking of asking her to the upcoming dance...

Anyway, moving on to current events, because if I keep thinking about that, I'll go nuts. During the landing, Caitlin got hurt and I have been keeping her company almost around the clock, with my pistol tucked under my jacket, or my pillow when I sleep...I don't like the look Jaali's been giving her since we landed. And old man Capheus is on another level of dickcheese. Can Black people be racist? Apparently so. If looks could kill, it would be him, Jaali, Abeba and all the other women, and that's it. Cause he's been giving all the white men the evilest of eyes for the last 3 days.

Anyway, I've apparently been 'reassigned,' but at least I get to hang out with Abeba for a while. Apparently there's some ruins that Owen and she wanted to go explore. I would have loved to take Caitlin too, but at least I left her my backup gun. Just in case. So now here I am, making sure my expedition suit is still in one piece, waiting to head out. Hopefully, it won't take more than a couple days.

Oh, and one more thing about this breeding protocol. The fuck are we gonna do, eat sex? Dudes need to prioritize food, water and shelter before we start knocking girls up. Frickin idiots, for real.

--END LOG ENTRY--

(*=I had assumed that, from a legal standpoint vis-a-vis being able to be bound by a contract, those born aboard the Endeavour would be considered adults at 15. Possibly in other matters as well. Otherwise, some of the cast would not be technically bound by the contract, including the breeding protocol. Can discuss in OOC if needs be.)

Day 3 AC (After the Crash)
Time: 6:00Am (Endeavour Time)
Another day, another journal entry. I don't know why I bother with these, when there's real work to be done. While the other older men in the colony are obsessing over breeding right and divying up the women in the colony like they aren't people, we still need to finish the water pump from the lake to the Jupiters, so we don't have to keep hauling buckets of water into the ship's filtration tanks for washing and drinking. And that's just a start on top of figuring out what crops will grow here as a sustainable food supply, scouting the area for other resources, or just chopping wood. It's a blazing hot summer season now, but if the coniferous trees in the area are any sign, it will be a rough winter when it hits, and we'll need sources of warmth for when (not if) the fuel supplies of our little ships run out.

It's not as though I'm opposed to the so called "breeding protocol". I signed off on the original, and the contingency plan when I signed on for this mission. Elizabeth and I believe in big families, it's why we invited Mia into our marriage. Before the accident we were actively trying for our first child with her. If the survival of the human race, or just our colony depends on me knocking up a few of the lovely daughters around here, that's a price I'm more than happy to pay. Hell if Elizabeth has a few more, I won't complain, and raise em my own, though I still feel a little possessive of Mia, in a way that wasn't there before the accident, if I'm honest.

It just strikes me as hasty. They're thinking with their dicks and not their brains. Do we really want to bring all these kids into this new world without basic utilities, or a stable food supply? Make half our workforce have to waddle around with big pregnant bellies? At least there's a few people with some sense. Young MacKenzie has been helping out with the water pump. She's got a bit to learn still, but she knows how to work a wrench and isn't afraid of getting dirty, which is more than I can say for some of the other young ones here.

For some of them I get it. Caitlin for instance. She and her girlfriend expected to have to fulfill their contractual obligations to the colony at some point of course. But that was when we had a full medical suite, with doctors who could induce an IVF, and they could pick their donors. Now it's possible that Caitlin might get knocked up by her girlfriends grandfather, or have to raise her nephews as her own if one of her brothers gets lucky with her girlfriend. That's got to be difficult. Even for the boys, who get the easy end of things by and large have got to feel a little weirded out at being reduced to breeding stock. Elizabeth tells me she's got a plant to smooth some of those rough edges, so I'll leave that to her for now.

Well that's enough for today, MacKenzie is probably waiting by the lake already.

From the ashes of disaster, grow the roses of success. That's what my mother always told me, and it's what I tell myself now. I'm not a monster. I grieve for all our friends and neighbors aboard the Endeavor who weren't as fortunate as we were. Our family was lucky. Everyone was aboard the Jupiter when the accident occurred. The kids were getting along for once and playing cards, while I had my face buried between Mia's thighs as we waited for Alex to finish up some maintainence to the jupiter's controls. In retrospect it was thrilling, me and our little lover clinging to each other as Alex detached our home from the failing colony ship, but at the time all I really felt was fear.

So we were lucky and many others weren't. It's a disaster but we will prevail. Frankly I'm excited for the breeding program. I can't keep it out of my mind to tell the truth. The primal necessity of it fires something in my brain and between my legs. Still I worry for those of my students who don't have my experience. As their teacher it's my job to guide and tutor them through what must be a traumatic time. I've called them over for a meeting at noon after lunch, where I will offer my services to any of them, who have questions, want to practice, or need a guiding hand when their times comes.

The Jupiter craft that Jason had been assigned to as Hydroponics officer had made it down intact. Jason had left the ship to scout the surroundings, while the rest had been told to stay put while he checked to see if it was safe. Jason wasn't sure he was the ideal man for that job, but sure, his old Marine training was ready to kick in, whether he liked it or not, and he was the person best qualified to spot any plants about to unload a face full of killer spores.

Sadly the decision to stay back had resulted in a complete disaster, as when the reactor blew up unexpectedly Jason was the only one far enough away to survive.

The explosion and smoke had been an easy target for a rescue and later that day he had found himself in amongst the only other Jupiter's to make planetfall.

He planned to go and investigate the local flora, hopefully with some help from a volunteer. His mind was on setting up some sort of farm, maybe starting with a greenhouse like structure. Discovering and cataloguing what was edible around here and what wasn't needed to be a priority.

To facilitate that end, Jason had put up a sign asking for volunteers to give him a hand with some botanical exploration, but other than that he pretty much stayed away from any of the meetings and decision making that was going on regarding the crazy ass 'breeding thing'. He was an outsider, and a reminder of all the Jupiter's that did not make it to the surface... and he felt like his presence was almost like an intrusion. Plus, even though it was necessary, he felt it was a bit fucked up.... even if he had spied a few women he would not have minded indulging himself with. Young nubile brunettes that were a step away from jailbait back on earth, coupled with tom boyish types, hot blondes, literal Milfs... there were fuckable women everywhere!

However, he had never had much of a problem getting a woman, so he decided he would just wait to see if any came his way, there was no rush in his mind... and things were a lot more pleasurable and long lasting when they developed naturally. Other men might like to hard fuck a woman and try to breed her, but after their brief attempt at copulation that would likely be it for them. He was more into long term repeat prospects, with women who actually wanted to fuck him... rather than women who were just going to be closing their eyes, then opening their legs in the name of procreation.

Still, if he found something smokable he was pretty sure that his noble attitude would change... he'd seen plenty of completely outrageous drug fuelled orgies take place while in the Marines... and the atmosphere around the landing site was palpably charged with sexual tension as men looked at women like they were prey animals, and the women skittered about wondering who was going to pounce on them first.

Day 3 AC (After the Crash)
Time: 10:30 (Endeavour Time)

Cara had been packing her equipment into the escape pod. Her Jupiter had been one of the newest and had the updated tech and other state of the art experimental systems. It had been a real work of art with the most amazing computer systems, but sadly, just like all the others, it was just too close and going too fast to escape the grasp of the sun.

She had grabbed a pack, her computer and VR rig as well as her software programs and toolkits, but the ship had lurched and she had been thrown into the pod alone.

And when she looked up again it was too late, the launch sequence had started and she was going to be the only one to leave the ship alive.

Luckily the auto tracking put her down near to the transponders of the surviving Jupiter's, and seeing that he already had a couple of twin daughters, it seemed that Mr Mercer had thought it wouldn't take much effort to look after three, so she had managed to settle in on board the Mercer family ship.

She had gotten to work on the computer almost immediately and already had her drone up and running for recon, but she had heard talk about some sort of breeding program, which sounded a little out there. It wasn't the fact that the colony would need to reproduce, it was the method and the urgency because of the loss of the birthing ship.

Still, she viewed it with a kind of detached apathy. There was a big difference between duty and recreational fun and she could separate the two easily enough in her head. One meant lying there, thinking of Earth and their new home and then kicking the man out of bed after their three minutes. The other meant pleasure, enjoyment and fun... and there were plenty of survivors who feel into that category... with the majority of them being women.

Still, she had largely managed to keep to herself, with the only real sign of her being the drone she flew about the place from her VR console aboard the ship. Ultimately this is what she had wanted, a new start, new challenges, she had just expected there to be more computers and organisation. The programs and sequences she had run... she wondered who else knew the real truth about the breeding program.

Day 3 AC (After the Crash)

Time: 5AM (Endeavour Time)

So we've been asked to document our thoughts in these journals. I don't know what to say. I mean one moment we were all on the Endeavour, the next we're here? Were exactly is here? That's what I want to know. Who is going to be reading these journals? To me they seemed stupid but that's probably just me. I guess I should start from the beginning. My name is Owen Drake and I'm eighteen years old. In fact I'm part of a set, a twin. My sister Caitlin and I are dizygotic twins if you believe it. Between you and me she got the better traits. She's much better academically than me. Though whenever I'm fixing things, whenever I have tools in my hands I'm calm. Nothing bothers me anymore. So that's what I've been doing for these three days. Fixing things. Ensuring that our Jupiter is good to go. I have no interest in being a solider but I would use a weapon to protect my family if it came to it.

When it all happened I was worried about my entire family of course. Worried for their lives and my own. I had friends on the Endeavour. Friends that I will never see again. Because I know in my heart that they are all dead and we are the only survivors. God that didn't make sense to me at first. But I had a lot to think about. My parents told us about a breeding protocol. Something that we have been thrust into and I got to be honest. I'm interested in it. I mean who wouldn't be? And I've been looking at my sister in a different light now. I know she doesn't like boys but maybe she would loose her virginity to someone she knew rather than someone she didn't and I've been seeing the men here look at her with those hungry eyes.

I feel guilty for her injury. She shouldn't have been injured and maybe if I was a medic I could do something. But I fix machines rather than people. I was Dad's co-pilot as we took the Jupiter to safety and as we reconnected with the other two. I have to admit though. I held onto Catlin's hand a little too tightly. I was scared, but I didn't want to let everyone else know it. I know Nate would probably say something about it, but it was a horrible situation that we were all in but at least my family is safe. That was one good thing that had came out of this entire situation. Our family survived.

I'm actually about to meet up with Abeba and Nate. I discovered some sort of ruins that got me excited. I actually hadn't told Dad about it or really mentioned it to Catlin. On the afternoon on the first day once we all got the clear I approached Abeba about it and was excited to know that she too saw the ruins. I've heard about a symptom of people seeing things in great distress and was glad that I wasn't suffering from it. A mirage I believe some people it back on Earth. The Ruins themselves seemed to be made out of marble from what I've read. It would be fantastic if we got to explore before the adults decided to explore them and take the glory for it. Anyways more journals to come I suppose. For now this is Owen Drake signing off.

Day 3 AC (After the Crash)
Time: Midnight (Endeavour Time)

I really should be going to sleep, but who can sleep right now? It's easy to imagine going camping and listening to the crickets outside. There's nothing like that here. I could pull up some ambience sounds maybe, but it's not the same. It's like licking a picture of and ice cream cone. It's just not the same.

So much has happened. Maybe that's a big part of why I can't sleep. The last time I was sleeping like a baby alarms ripped me out of bed. Talk about a rude awakening. It all happened so fast. I went to bed safe. I went to bed with the entire ship safe. The next time I closed my eyes to go to sleep, so many were dead. Dead. I thought about writing something like gone or passed, but no. The truth is they're dead. That words sounds so heavy. Then again, death is heavy. I guess I'm afraid of what will happen each time I close my eyes now. Stupid really. We take a risk every time we close our eyes. Life is meant to be lived after all.

Enough of that heavy stuff. Lets move on to even heavier stuff. Breeding. Nothing like talking about death and nightmare to make a girl wanna spread her legs for some guy to pump her full of his cum. That ranks right up there with belching and farting to get me in the mood. I can't count how many times I've heard a guy belch, and I told him, 'that'll get you laid'. Really. I can't. So now I'm supposed to drop my panties for these guys around here? Yeah. Whatever. I remember asking mom about the sex. She called the birds and the bees. I laughed so hard. Then she told me, 'No. Don't do it'. That's it. I found out about it on my own, but dang mommy dearest. I could have used a little more help. You should have seen the look on my face the first time a guy wanted a bj. I was shocked that I actually got to put his cock in my mouth. Go figure.

Mom is handling all this like I knew she would. She said something about some ruins, but I know her. She'll wait until we've been here for at least a week, sneak off with supplies she's secretly stashing, and then skip out before dad can say anything. Dear old dad. She thinks he won't be crazy about her going off to study them, but come on pops. That's her job. Mom studies all about cultures and anything she can get her hands on to teach her more about them. He won't be able to stop her. He's gotta know that. Mom is as headstrong as he is.

Theo is probably already making some kind of chart he can use to keep up with the girls he nails. Some crude rating system too. One star, a good lay. Two stars, a good bj. Three stars, she's a squirter. Four stars, she likes anal. Five stars, all of the above, and he's in love. Thing one and Thing two are already settling in nice. Wonder if they have a betting pool on who will sleep with the most guys. Maybe betting on who will get knocked up first. Who knows with them. Personally I try to figure out the exact number of items of clothing they'll come to breakfast in. I'm waiting for the day they bounce down naked or at least topless.

Well Drake and I are already working on some kind of irrigation system. Gotta water the plants we're gonna try to grow. This society is gonna expand, and that's gonna take food. I wonder if there's gonna be a hunting party going out. I wouldn't mind shooting again. We'll see. Eventually they have to. Everybody likes meat. Heck we're gonna have to take meat to make babies right. Plus there's a stray living here too. The jury is still out on that one. Mom taught me to always be cautious, and after losing so many people it might not be a bad idea to not get to close to anybody. Then again, what's the fun in that? Life is meant to be lived, and baby I'm gonna live it.

Day 3 AC (After the Crash)
Time: Indeterminate


I've kitted out my room aboard the Mercer Jupiter. Increasing computer efficiency by 15% was easy, I've networked the computers together and have divided my tasks. I have schematics for both wind and water powered generators if the need arises, as well as primitive steam powered turbines... in order to keep the computers running. This is purely a precaution, as the solar panels are sufficient for my needs (at least for now). I need to have the tech working, I didn't sign up for a trip back to the stone age.

I skimmed over the ship logs for the endeavour, plus the itinerary and manifests. Aside from the families and crew there appears to have been indications of a stowaway and a falsified entry by someone. .. it was very well hidden. The data is corrupted, possibly due to identifies being swapped, but it reads like Dr 'something'... Smith maybe?

It's probably nothing and likely doesn't have anything to do with the disaster that transpired. That poor soul would likely have been a victim along with everyone else who wasn't lucky enough to make planet fall.

I have set up a few comm channels for news and music, but there's nothing really to report on yet. A few people are fucking each other, which is to be expected, but the whole 'breeding protocol' thing is inefficient nonsense, set up by old people who haven't yet realised that they are on the way out. This world is for the young, and the young need two things.

Computers and tech. I don't envisage the reactors failing for a long time yet, and we have solar power, so it's not urgent.

Optimized offspring. Males over forty are basically useless, sperm wise. If children are needed then it's pretty obvious that the youngest, strongest and most virile men should be the ones farmed out as studs, doing most of the copulating. Matching old men to young women makes no sense... the young men should be matched to everyone... and the old men should settle back and enjoy their golden years. Certainly I believe strongly in capable fathers and someone who can be there for my children growing up... not some old guy stuck in a wheelchair due to old age. I have no intention to breed with anyone older than thirty, tops, the thought of having to do so makes me queasy.

I also have zero intention of waiting to be 'selected'. If anything the women should be doing the choosing, not the other way around.

I have taken steps to ensure that I have a believable explanation and a way out if things become problematic. The triggering mechanism is small and discrete, assuming the computer records I created fail to impress.

Several computer simulations of the social situation, along with predictive algorithms and my own SEER software, indicate that there is at least a 37% chance that the colony will likely suffer a 'trigger event' within the first six months.

This will lead to it splitting into one or more factions. Given the low numbers, it does not seem probable that politics or religion will be the trigger. Most likely it will be caused by someone committing, then trying to justify, a violent sexual assault of some sort... or an unjust punishment related to a crime taking place and alienating those left from the 'leadership'.

Statistically and historically speaking any episode of open tyranny, enforced slavery, rule by fear, or domination of certain types or groups will result in rebellion and the eventual inevitable elimination of the person responsible. It's important to identify the correct side to be on at an early stage, although switching from one to another is sometimes possible if performed correctly.

In any tech versus back to basics dilemma, I will, naturally, have to side with the continued use of computers and tech, regardless of the severity of other factors involved.

This journal is being level 9 encrypted. Given the educational set up, current colony priorities and my average life expectancy, I calculate that I will have been dead forty seven years by the time anyone decrypts my work.

Well, this was unexpected! In hindsight, given all the things that could go wrong with a ship and complex as the Endeavor and a mission as complex as saving humanity, it was a definite possibility. Though I suppose complete mission failure would have been more expected than just our small sliver of humanity surviving. I certainly have to count my blessing that my immediate family survived. Abeba has been fortunate that her very special friend Caitlin survived as well. Lots of emotional trauma to go around but certainly some bright spots to focus upon.

It is difficult to share my perspective with Khandi, but this whole breeding protocol is not to be overlooked as a bright spot. I mean hell, there is always the temptation to fuck around, now its a friggin' duty! I'm so glad some comely girls survived in the other jupiters as well. I especially haven't told Khandi that I look forward to the idea of her fucking some other guys and frankly I want to watch. She is a sexual goddess and given that I get to go after a lot of pussy, I can hardly begrudge her doing the same, but damn I want to see her in action as well. But how do I explain that to her? Good problem to have I guess.

Abeba and Jaali will do fine I think. Poor Lea isn't ready for this but then who is really, I hope she can learn to enjoy it. I mean sure the sex will be fun and I certainly plan to sow my wild oats at every chance but all these babies so quickly. I'm not sure it has been well thought out, but humans can be pretty adaptable when the situation calls for it. Well time to go see what this Brave New World has in store for yours truly!

What a week it has been. I mean, with the crash and so few of us surviving screwing everything up and with the whole breeding thing being enforced, quite roughly in some cases it seems. I spoke to one of the Mercer Twins (Teri I think) after the weird and very hands on sex ed Cait's mom held for us kids and she said that Lucas had basically raped them both to breed them. Sure, he's not their dad by blood or anything but what a fucking a-hole to do that to them anyway. And that's not even the worst of it. He had made one of them go to visit Granddad to let him have his way with her as well and on top of that it seems that in return for that favour I had been promised to Lucas in the same way. I can't believe granddad would make such a deal. Neither could Jaali when I told him what I had heard but he said that it was Granddad's deal not mine and he would of course have my back if I refused.

Granddad talked at length about keeping the African dna pure when we confronted him about it, but who the fuck cares about that now, here. We're lost forever and Africa is little more than an abstract concept to me, and to Jaali. Neither of us have seen it or have any relation to it, no more than we do to Earth really.

I've decided to stay with Cait at the Drake's Jupiter ever since. I just don't trust Granddad not to make sure he keeps his (my) end of the deal one way or another. And besides, I can't even bare to look at him since I found out from Mom exactly what he had planned for us as a family, that he had wanted for Jaali to breed me and Mom, and that he would as well. It's just sickening to think he would even consider such things. I honestly almost threw up as sick as I felt.

Cait is sleeping but I just can't. All of this is just too much.

It hasn't been all bad though this week though. It was fun to go exploring the ruins with Owen and Nate. Nate even found himself a pet of sorts, a rather weird looking dog-like creature that for some reason seems to stick by his side like glue, as if it had known him for a long time, as if it had already been domesticated once. Of course that sort of fits with what we found at the ruins. There is, or at least was at one time, a civilisation here, a rather advanced one at that. Maybe not like us but from what I remember of the classes in Earth History at least equal to the people who built the pyramids. I can't wait to go back there with more supplies to investigate further and stay there longer, really dig into it to see if we can find any traces of where the people that lived there went, and of course to see if we can find any clues to their culture. Maybe even some useful information about this world the universe has forced us to make a home out of.

Speaking of Nate by the way. He can be really stuck in his views on things, like when it became obvious he had seen Owen and me having sex, for breeding purposes only of course, and I had had to explain to him that it was what Cait and I had been planning all along, for Owen, and then Nate himself, to father children with me and for Jaali to do the same with Cait, to keep our children as closely related to both of us as possible. The original plan was of course for it to be done through IVF but since that option is now out the window there is nothing for it but to do it the old fashioned way. He still seemed a bit awkward about it, said I had cheated on his sister but I sensed that the suggestion that he would get to breed me as well kind of smoothed it over, at least a little.

Personally I think he should try his luck with my step-sister. I don't know why but I think they'd make a cute couple. Jaali seems to have his eyes set on the Mercer Twins, both of them it seems but who can blame him, they're absolutely stunning. And honestly, I wouldn't mind a piece of them myself either, maybe a foursome with Cait as well. Now there's a thought to sleep on, or at least have a wet dream about.

Speaking of foursomes, it was of course weird to do it with Cait's mom watching and giving instructions but on some level I really enjoyed that sex ed class and I can definitely see the four of us, myself and Owen, and Cait and Jaali, hooking up like that again to breed. Not that I am really looking forward to having kids, not yet. The plan was for us to wait until we'd finished school, lived together in one of the apartments on The Resolute that had been built to house the growing numbers of colonists. That won't happen now though. At least we live together now though because no matter what I am not going back to live under the same roof as Granddad.

Day 6 AC (After the Crash)
Time: Late evening.

It wasn't something we had had a lot of time to talk about before Beba and my brothers went off to explore the ruins they had spotted from orbit as we crashed but that night after they had returned and we had all spent most of the evening calming Beba down after she found out about her granddad's plans for her we ended up in Owen's cabin, soon to be mine and Beba's, and the two told me what had happened between them at the ruins. I wish they had talked to me first but in a way it is all according to the plans we had already made about having children, except for the physical intimacy part of course, that was never part of the plan, but with no medical lab to do the the IVF what choice do we have?

It was Abeba who first brought up the idea that now with that option gone and the fact that to bear children I would have to have sex with boys and even if it would at first only be with her brother it might be a good idea for me to not be a virgin when he bred me. I hate that word. I mean what are we? Cattle? I mean I understand the necessity of it, especially now with so few of us left alive after the crash but still. Why can't they call it reproduce at least?

Anyhow. It seemed that Beba and Owen had already talked about it and agreed that I might feel less uncomfortable with someone I already had an emotional bond with, not that Jaali is a complete stranger exactly but my bond with Owen is deeper and I've known him all my life after all. So ... I know it might perhaps sound weird and even disgusting to some, that I agreed to let my own twin brother deflower me that night but ... it made sense and in the end I don't really see the problem. It's not like he was going to impregnate me or anything. Besides Beba did most of the work while I focused on her. It wasn't until the last few minutes Owen lay down on top of me and put his penis inside me.

I will admit that I didn't exactly hate it. I mean Beba has used a dildo on me before and it was almost the same thing, especially with Beba grinding against my face at the same time. Almost. The angle was different and the way his testicles slapped against me and his pubic bone beat against my clit was very different from anything I had done with Beba before, usually when she fucked me with the dildo she used her tongue, or her fingers, on my clit, a totally different sensation in every way.

I don't know how long it lasted because I was totally lost in eating Beba out and savouring her moans as they mixed with Owen's grunts but eventually he pulled out and instead of wasting his semen on my belly or breasts or anywhere else Beba got off my face and sat down on him letting him unload inside her, which makes sense since the plan still is for her to have his baby.

Owen then went down to my old cabin to sleep and me and Beba curled up together with her as the little spoon.

Earlier today I was sort of grateful for what they did last night, as Mom decided to throw us all a curve ball of epic proportions. Although I suppose I shouldn't really have been all that surprised that she took the idea of sex ed to a whole different level, no ... it wasn't even the same ball game as it had been in school. After all Mom and Dad has never really been shy about showing their affection, not between themselves or with Mia, our ... hmmm ... secondary mom? At least not within the family, outside she is simply the au pair. I've got a feeling that is about to change now though.

Anyhow; Earlier today. It was actually quite nice to be able to hold Beba's hand, to kiss her and look into her eyes while her brother fucked me. I think I could actually get used to it. I mean, not like I was turned bi or anything by actually having a real penis inside me for the second time in my life but as long as Beba is there as well I can at least enjoy it to some extent which is a good thing since it will have to be a regular thing now, at least until I am pregnant. What a weird thought that is really. I mean sure it was part of the plan but I thought we would at least have a few more years to get there. If I'm honest the idea of starting a family, even if it is with Beba, through our brothers, scares me a little. We're all far too young really, to have children and to raise them, not that I have any doubts Mom, Dad and Mia won't help, or Khandi for that matter.
