Nanoverse Our first order of business that morning was to find a grocery story, and stock up on food. Fortunately downtown San Diego has a lot of independed grocery stores. So I used an ATM to empty out the maximum amount of cash from my several accounts, and everyone else, except Marcia, did the same thing ... and found a grocery store clerk, charging 400 percent plus for his food, but at least he accepted cash and was open. We pretty much bought out the store between all of us. Back at Mary's we saw that the major news channels were all getting dicey. It seems that anyone in any sort of leadership position whether corporate or government was now dead or had the rash, which was the same thing. Police, military, security personell of all shapes ... they were also dropping like flies (yet I was strangely unconcerned). All sorts of people from all walks of life were beginning to get the disease and I had now effectively lost the "pattern" to the deaths. We put everything away, then I called for another planning session so that I could get the background info on our two new arrivals as well as hear any ideas they had. "Ok, here's the thing," I said kicking it off. "I think to get started we should just all explain a little about ourselves, what we can do, what we know, any specialized knowledge, that sort of thing. Marcia, if you could tell us all a little about yourself." Marcia was the black haired 20ish hotty that Sue had added to the group. My suspicion was that if she was Sue's friend, she was probably intelligent. "Well, I'm currently the youngest holder of a masters in Neurology at UCSD and I also hold a masters in Electrical Engineering, I've invented two new neurological surgery procedures and two new types of lasers to perform the procedures with. Besides that ... well, there just isn't any time left besides school and my research." I just whistled. "Elaine, your turn." Elaine bit her lip, obviously trying to decide what to say. "Well, I graduated from Stanford with a masters in international marketing. Got married, and since then haven't done much." She looked down, and her voice became very small. "I guess I've just been a trophy wife." I looked at her incredulously. "Uh huh," I said drawing a look from her. "Just a trophy wife. You're probably the most meticulous planner I've ever met." She looked down again. "Yeah, I can plan details, but anyone can do that--" "No, they can't. There are big picture people, and detail people. Big Picture people are TERRIBLE at the details. I won't say exactly why, but I've nearly been killed or caught several times because of overlooking details. You're a detail person, little things never slip by you, and we're certainly going to need some of that. I'm going to tell you and Marcia a little about me. Some of what I'm going to say may sound a little bragadocious, but I promise you it isn't. I'm graduated from MIT as a valedictorian in electrical engineering where I specialized in security systems and bio-recognition. I was recruited by the State department where I was a member of Elite special forces as the department's top sniper. Most of my work was done in conjunction with speaking I did at various conferences and the like as I was at one time considered the world's foremost authority on electronic security measures. Sue here was going to be UCSD's youngest doctorate in genetics, and Mary is, of all things, a rocket scientist. She also says she can desalinate sea water without electricity and even produce electricity from the desalination process." "The problem that I see," Elaine said speaking up "Is that we've got a bunch of people with high intelligence to succeed in the old world, but no one, except you Stan, and maybe Marcia, who has the skills we need for the new world." "What do you mean?" "You've got military training. We'll need that to keep us safe, to stay protected. Marcia's got medical training. The usefulness there is obvious. What are we going to do when our current clothes wear out? What are we going to do when all the currently processed meat begins to go bad? What are we going to do when we begin, inevitably, having your babies?" I looked around at the girls. "Elaine and Mary, I want the two of you to jump on the internet. Look for a place in central california that is near the ocean and near farming. Do either of you know how to shoot a firearm?" Both shook their head, so I pulled out my 45 and laid it on the table. "This thing isn't to be farther away than an arm reach at all times. When I come back, I'll honk the horn of my truck a couple of times, and I'll shout from the front door that it's me. If anyone knocks on the front door, assume it's someone bad. I'd rather that you end up being sad for killing someone you didn't need to, than all the rest of us end up being sad because you didn't kill someone you should have. Me, Sue, and Marcia are going to take a trip to coronado." "Coronado," they all asked surprised. "Yes, NAS North Island and the Seal Base 1 specifically. We're going to want to pick up some military hardware. I've got some good stuff, but not enough for all of us, and certainly not enough if other folks get the same ideas I have. Remember, shoot first, ask second." To say that I was surprised would be an understatement of monumental proportions. The entire base was just left wide open. I had a field day. I found a SAM equipped hummer, and loaded into it two cases of missiles. Another hummer was loaded up with TOW missiles. That got a four cases of the tank killer. Finally another contained a fifty cal mount, and naturally it got loaded with as much ammo as it could hold. I found several cases of grenades, and grabbed an even two dozen HK M-53 Rifles and another two dozen 40mm grenade launchers to fit onto the rifles. Reluctantly I also grabbed an even two dozen of the piece of crap 9mm handguns regular military started using and a couple of cases 9mm ammo. I loaded two of them and tossed them to the two girls. I also loaded up two of the HKs and tossed noe to each of the girls as well. I loaded up a third, and also placed a loaded grenade launcher on it, and kept it for my own. I didn't give the girls a grenade launcher because of the weight. If they needed to fire it I wanted them to have as much accuracy as they needed instead of struggling just to hold the thing. "Uhh ... how're we going to get four vehicles back," Sue asked, looking at everything I'd procured for us. "By taking more than one trip," I answered. "Especially since we're going to want one of those troop movers too," I said indicating the long row of trucks, most of which also had trailers hitched to the back. "I'd just feel a lot safer if we were rolling around in the hummers, or at least had one with us in case of trouble." Sue got a wierd looking grin on her face. "Can we go have a look at the troop mover real quick?" I shrugged and lead them over, slinging the rifle over my shoulder. They looked as if they were lined up for inspection. Each one was spotlessly clean, a couple even smelled freshly painted. "So which one're we going to take do you think," Sue asked. I shrugged again. "Any of the painted ones with a trailer already attached will be fine." Sue pulled down the tailgate of the closest one and hopped into the back. "So we could take this one?" "Sure, why does it matter?" "Because I'd like to christen it first," she said, her wierd smirk growing into a full blown smile. Ahhhh .... now I saw where she was going with this, and so did Marcia, who moved behind me, her hands roaming on my chest as she leaned her weight against me and pushed me forward into Sue. We liplocked with Marcia reaching her one hand up under my shirt and tweaking my nipples while the others went south, and into my pants. My own hands were also busy, reaching up and under Sue's shirt to find her own breasts ... and then decided to just pull the tank top off completely. As I bent down to put my lips onto a nipple, I felt Marcia's hands begin undoing my pants. Which of course served to get my blood to boiling. As I ran my tongue across her nipple, I reached my hands up her skirt, fully expecting to have to pull down at least a thong. Nope, no panties at all, so I settled for just pulling her to the edge of the tailgate. I like "warming up" a woman by taking my mouth almost straight to the goods. Just as I had spread Sue's lips apart and began laying my tongue on that hot sweet morsel, I felt Marcia drop her lips onto my own tool. I think Sue and I both sighed together. I licked at Sue for a bit, then slid a couple of fingers into her while my tongue worked on her clit. She really liked that, especially when I began sucking her clit into my mouth and slowly pulling my head away, letting it ... pop ... out of my mouth. Marcia spent some time with her tongue, putting it all over me, and paying particular attention to my head, and on no particular rythm at all, would actually manage to deep throat me. How'd I get to be so lucky, In my whole life I think I'd met only two women capable of doing that to me because of my size, and in the last couple of days I'd already met two. I couldn't help but wonder if Sue could do it too. Sue's breathing quickened, I knew she was nearing an orgasm, and I stopped. I wasn't ready for her to "go" yet. Which drew a groan from her. "FUCK!" She swore. "Stan, don't stop. God damn it please keep going." "Nope, someone else's turn," I said, grabbing Marcia and bringing her up and putting her onto the tailgate. "Why don't you take Marcia's spot. Do a good job, and I'll make the wait worth your while ... promise." Sue hopped off and I bent my face down and went between Marcia's legs. She was sopping wet. I love a woman that gets hot just from sucking me off. In fact, Marcia was so boiling hot, that within moments of running my tonuge in circles around her clit, she was already starting to have trouble exhaling ... the first sure sign of a woman about to cum. So I took one hand and slid a couple fingers up her sopping wet pussy, and a finger from my other hand slowly eased past her rosebud. Sue, started by doing a somewhat typical job on my cock, taking me in only an inch or so past my head. Marcia was just starting to really orgasm hard when she slid that lusious mouth of hers all the way down my 8 inch pole. And then did the same "swallowing" thing Mary had done that just set my rockets off. It was like her whole throat was massaging me ... hell, it was. She slid off me, and then began flicking her tongue across my now seriously swollen head, teasing me. Marcia had now gone to the moon and come back, and was slumping onto the bed of the mover. I pulled Sue back up, and went back to work on her with my mouth, doing the same thing to her as I'd done to Marcia, a couple fingers up her love tunnel and one into her rear. "Hooooolllllly shiiiittttt" she said, not exactly quietly. Marcia sat up and got behind Sue and began gently pulling on her nipples and spinning them. Her breathing started to quicken as I tongued her clit and pumped her pussy and ass together. "Faster ... do it faster ... fuck that's good. Yesssss" I could feel her legs tighening and loosening, so I increased the intensity of my hands but not the pace. "Ohhhhh gooddddd," she said. "Harder with you tongue too. " It sounded like she tried to say something else, but her body went into a hard orgasm. Speaking, other than a kind of wheezing, simply wasn't possible any more. I slowly eased up, and when she gave the final shudder, I stood up and gave her a sloppy kiss and then did the same with Marcia. "Aren't you two the most delicious kittens on the planet," I said as we kind of hugged each other. "Damn it Stan," she said panting. "I swear you've got to be the most proficient lover on the planet." I had just pulled up my pants when I saw Sue get wide-eyed and heard someone clearing their throat behind me. It was another hotty. Seriously, abso-fuckin-lutely, hot. She was sandy blond, and cut like a diamond. Muscles rippled in her arms and legs as she leaned against one of the trailers and placed the gun in her hand into a hip holster. My guess is she was pushing 6 foot, which made her very tall for a woman, and was also probably around my age, mid 30s or so. She wore cami pants but a sleevless white form fitting top that accentuated her curves wonderfully. I wiped my mouth a bit sheepishly. "Can we help you," I asked as she made it pretty much instantly obvious she had no hostile intent. "Actually, that's what I was wondering." "I don't follow," I said confused. "Well, I'm sort of alone. All my friends and family died, apparently I'd left the military just in time. With the way things are, I can survive here on the base for a long time with all the MREs and such ... but who wants to live on that. I was sort of hoping I could join you." "What'd you do while in the military?" "One of the few combat certified chopper pilots in fagru 13." "In what?" Marcia asked. "Fagru," I said answering. "It means fast attack group. She's a former marine that ran air support for force recon ... that means she isn't just good ... she's shit hot, and I'm not just talking about her body." "Ah," Sue said, "Then the short answer is we could certainly use you ..." Sue turned and looked a bit shell shocked. "Well, I mean ... if you think that's ok Stan." I laughed my ass off. "Darlin, if you think it's ok, then it's more than fine with me. Hell, a chopper pilot would come in REAL handy." I turned to the new comer. "Can you fly the bigger ones too ... the cargo choppers?" "I can fly anything that's rotary." "Then lets load up everything into the largest chopper you can find. Then we can come back and load up a combat chopper and as much ammo and missiles for it as we can." "Where're you folks holed up?" "The San Diego Mission. It's large and defensible, and will be more defensible when I'm done with it." "What're you going to do?" "Take several of the hummers and put them into certain locations. When I'm done there'll be at least five locations covered by SAM, TOW, and 50cal and three others covered only by SAM. If anyone wants to come at us, there'll be a rather nasty surprise waiting for them. By the way," I said approaching with my hand out to shake hands. "I'm Stan Hanson." She looked at my hand then jumped into my arms, planting one hell of a kiss on me considering there was no tongue involved. "I'm Sheila Lief," she replied breaking the kiss and looking at the women. "You've got it right," Sue said deadly serious. "We need to keep this man happy." "Now hold on just a damn minute," I said instantly furious. "If you guys are having sex with me out of some sense of obligation or something you can just--" Marcia silenced me with a punch to my arm. "Shut up Stan. None of us are doing anything we don't want to do. But if this woman is going to be one of us ... well ... it would be helpful if she understands that you aren't exclusive, but you're ours at the same time. If she's one of us, then she needs to keep you happy, just like you keep us happy, or shit just ain't going to work Stan. Jelousies will develop. Look, that's something I don't want you to worry about. Elaine has the whole thing figured out. When you go to bed, one or more of us will go with you, and you don't have to worry about it. It'll be taken care of so that everyone gets what they want and what they need. At the same time, if you feel like you want any of us, just say the word. We'll all understand. Actually, Elaine was planning to have this discussion with you tonight. Looks like you're just getting some of it a bit early. She'll go over it better than me. We've just got someone else to put into the mix is all. I don't see a problem, and we can certainly use her skills. That she's already got certain ... inclinations towards you ... probably helped by your performace with us ... only makes the whole situation better and easier for everyone. Got it?" I smiled broadly. "Well shut me up and put me in my place. Who am I to complain about the situation I'm in!" The three of them laughed, and we loaded up into the vehicles and Sheila lead us to a massive hanger. She seemed to know exactly where she was going, and in moments had the loading bay door down on a ch-130. The vehicles were loaded up and sheila had us hang out. A little while later, nearly 30 minutes later in fact, she showed up with a forklift loaded up with two pallets of boxes. She dropped those, and left. For the next hour she loaded up one pallet after another with little in the way of explanation. Some of the boxes I recognized as holding ammo or missiles. About three hours later, she pulled the forklift into the now crammed helicopter and shut it down. "Besides ammo and missiles for the choppersI'll want that we'll come back and get later, I also grabbed a pallet of MRE's, a pallet of batteries, a pallet of radios, a pallet of rounds for the HKs, another for the 9mils. I also grabbed a pallet of stingers, medium range SAMs for the hum-V mounts you said you want, TOWs, and a pallet of 50 cal ammo. When we come back, we'll grab some more to load in behind the chopper." "Good work," I said. Not long later, we were settling down at our new home. Everyone helped as much as they could with the unloading, then we all went back, picked up a Cobra chopper, some more ammo, unloaded, then grabed a second Cobra. With night approaching, we decided to stop there, but Sheila made it pretty clear she wanted a good twenty of the Cobra's and suggested we should destroy all the other combat stuff that we didn't have room to keep or simply didn't want so that it couldn't be used against us. that night, I was pleasantly surprised with what the women had planned
