The Long Gift—Chapter 7
#8 of The Long Gift
Gill explains it all. Well, a lot of stuff while he's tied.
The Long Gift 7--Tied to the Past By Zmeydros AKA Lucien Quinn AKA Alexi Tishen.
Now that Jaime's sexual desire has been fulfilled, his curiosity asserts itself. "So, what's the whole story about why Chimera combine their DNA with other species?"
"I'll let Gill explain." Leneth moves so that Gill is sitting on her lap. She seems to be very much enjoying the fact that she is still tied to the gorgeous lanky lizard.
Gill moans and squeaks until they stop moving. "Wooo, I'm falling in love with your cock... Ahem, over five thousand years ago--before we even left our home planet--we were winning a war and the enemy became desperate. The enemy, the H'ti'suj'ij--their language was almost impossible to pronounce--had an amazing gift for science. They used it to produce microscopic machines that would only kill our ancestors. These machines could learn and adapt as a group. Eventually billions of Chimera died. Bodies piled up so fast that they couldn't be buried by the survivors. Our civilization crumbled."
The moment Gill pauses to think, Jaime feels impatient as he finds he can't imagine how the Chimera survived that. "Then what happened?"
"We won the war and captured the scientists that created the mechanized plague. We tortured them for months and in that time millions more perished. Eventually the lead scientist relented to stop the suffering of his compatriots. He used his equipment to communicate with the deadly swarm and the killing stopped. We thought we had won, there were celebrations on many continents as the survivors came out of hiding. But our woes had not ended." Gill leans against Leneth with a satisfied sigh. "Any questions so far?"
So many bodies, billions of them. Those machines were like the bubonic plague on a double dose of steroids or something. So many dead people. Would there even be enough survivors to clean up all the bodies? Would it be like that Monty Python sketch about the bubonic plague? "What did the survivors do with all the bodies?" Jaime cringes at his own question.
"They lit piles of them on fire, buried them in the ground, dumped them in volcanoes. Anything and everything just to get rid of them. The plague lasted over twenty years. Many of the bodies fed the growing numbers of scavenger animals over the course of the plague. Some of the survivors came out of hiding only to be eaten by predators. The only reason our race even survived is because we locked millions of ourselves in underground bunkers while our own machines continued the war." Gill shakes his head. "We were so foolish back then. Not about hiding in bunkers, the way we waged war over petty and meaningless things."
"Did the killing end there?" Jaime zooms in on Gill.
"No, one month after the lead scientist stopped the plague, he was tried and convicted--along with his fellow scientists--for committing genocide. He waited until his final words before his lethal injection was administered to make his move. He killed half the people in the holding facility using the machines that he was supposed to have deactivated. It turns out that he stopped the plague by giving himself direct control over the swarm. He had a transceiver in his skull that no one but his closest friends knew about." Gill's voice gets theatrically deep. He now had full control over the machines he and his team created. He demanded that he and all of his countrymen be released and threatened to kill every last one of our kind if we didn't obey; we complied, of course.
"It wasn't long after that that he was ruler of the world. He claimed that if he ever died, the plague would finish what it started." Pausing, Gill looks at the camera. "Any questions?"
"No, please continue." The suspense has Jaime clenching his fist.
"A secret team of scientists, working in a massive classified bunker, came up with a solution to stop the machines from killing all of us. The hundreds of thousands of us that were in that bunker with those scientists became test subjects. Many of us died before the solution was perfected and even when it was perfected, there were individuals that thought it was too drastic." Pointing at himself and Leneth, he says. "This is the solution. To give up most of our genetics and take on the genetics of other species. Especially some genes from our enemies. Our horns and backward-bending lower legs are from the H'ti'suj'ij."
Eyes widening in surprise, Jaime straightens. "No way! That's frickin' drastic."
"Oh yes, we gave up a lot just to be free of our mistakes. If we hadn't backed our enemy into a corner, we wouldn't have had to employ desperate measures." Putting a finger to his chin, Gill looks off into the distance. "To hide what we had done, we made it so that our race could transform into something indistinguishable from our normal form even though we had the genetics of other species. This required the use of microscopic machines. In time many of us felt more at home in our Chimera forms and were proud of our mixed genetic heritage. Once we became used to our new forms and the ability to transform, we set out from the bunker and started causing disappearances all throughout the globe. Labs like this one were built in old bunkers over the next few decades. We transformed anyone who was willing to give up their genetic purity for their lives. When the H'ti'suj'ij dictator died of poisoning, two-thirds of us died, but a half-million of us were left, enough for us to start our civilization again."
"But weren't the Ha'ti'sej'i--He'te'sug'id--your enemies still in control of things?" Jaime feels a knot in his brain as he tries to pronounce 'H'ti'suj'ij' through the speaker.
Leneth laughs, causing Gill to moan and throw his head back. "Sorry Jaime, that was just too funny."
Jaime giggles. "Yeah, It's going to take me a while to get that one down."
"No, they were a fractured and beaten people at the end of the dictator's reign. He started seeing enemies everywhere and would use his tiny machines, which had spread to every corner of the planet, to kill select groups of his own kind. They were lucky that when he died, they stuck to their original programming and left the remaining H'ti'suj'ij alone. The H'ti'suj'ij were having a civil war one month after the dictator's death. We let them fight because we had no means of stopping them. Eventually, they numbered less than us and stopped fighting. That was when, for the first time in my race's history, we took pity on our enemy and gave aid. Some say this compassion was a side-effect of taking on the DNA of other species, that we would have never found peace otherwise, but there's no way to know for certain." Gill smiles faintly. "After that, we eventually took to the stars with one mission: to make sure that no race would have to experience what we experienced. To spread genetic diversity to every corner of the galaxy. That was two thousand and three hundred years ago."
"That coincides with when furries first started appearing on earth. No one has ever come up with a satisfying explanation as to how it happened, or how it became possible for furries to mate with other furries or humans and still have babies. Well, I guess the people that claimed aliens did it were right, though. All furries can't be part of your race, can they?" He leans on the glass as if being closer to Gill will get him an answer faster.
Leneth speaks up. "No, we mixed the genes of species on this planet to make sure that humans would never have a plague like the one we had, natural or man-made. We didn't want to populate the whole world with our kind because that would mean that we just took over and didn't allow your civilizations to develop naturally."
"That makes a lot of sense." Something about the way Gill told the story causes Jaime to wonder. "Gill, you said 'we' and 'our' when you told me that story. It sounded like you were there or something."
Gill's eyes widen. "Time for a different subject. How does your body feel now that you can move it? Is it natur--"
"Why are we switching subjects? Yes it feels natural." Moving his arms and legs, Jaime accentuates his point.
"Good; you're coming along even better than I had hoped. Sometimes people experience pain at this stage from nerves that are irritated by the change in the tissues around them."
Seeing Gill speak so seriously as he's tied to Leneth causes Jaime to smirk. It would take anyone walking into the room a bit to notice that anything was awry. To a casual observer, it might just look like one naked herm is just sitting in the other's lap. "You really don't want to revisit my earlier question, do you?"
"No, I don't." Gill moves his legs into a more comfortable position and Leneth squeaks this time.
The moment she recovers, she kisses Gill's shoulder. "Come on, Jaime and I are very open-minded."
"I promise to explain before you two leave this facility. I realize that you two would probably not find my secret too unsettling, but I don't want to chance someone walking in on us. I've had some very surprising reactions in the past." Wrapping his tail around Leneth, Gill smiles faintly. "I wonder how much longer I'll have the pleasure of Len's intimate company."
Leneth hugs Gill. "I think I'm starting to shrink. It's been over twenty minutes already."
"Still feels really tight to me." Gill bounces on Leneth, causing Leneth to moan. He sighs happily after he stops. "This is the second largest knot I've had in me, but don't feel inferior about yours, because the largest was actually quite painful and it took my body an entire day to repair itself."
Leneth kisses Gill's neck. "Glad you like it. I thought seven inches with a sizable knot was plenty. I know enough not to go for too much of a good thing." She looks at Jaime. "I think Jaime's going to love trying my fox cock out."
Jaime feels warmth rush through him as he imagines her taking him from behind as he's bent over the hood of a car. "I can't wait to get out of here so I can try that out."
"Me either." She licks her lips.
"So, do either of you know why Mary wasn't in her chimera form?" When Jaime asks this question, he feels one of his still-growing cat ears fold down while the other stands straight up. It's awesome! Now he can make expressions with his ears!
Holding up a finger, Gill thinks for a moment. "You'd probably have to see her chimera form to understand that. She becomes a dragon herm with six large breasts, two tails, and two large cocks. It's a rather unwieldy form and she tends to save it for having sex with tall partners that can take her cocks without getting hurt. To fully assume that form, she also has to hook herself up to a transration."
At first, Jaime is consumed by the thought of Mary turning into a dual-cocked dragon herm. He would be happy just to play with her twin cocks if he couldn't take them inside. His hand brushes one of his nipples as he thinks about it. Then the rest of what Gill said finally sinks in. "What's that?" Jaime's guessing that it helps with transformations, but he can't even begin to guess how.
"It stands for Transformation Ration. They are slightly heavier than a kilogram and they contain materials that the machines inside us can use to help us transform into forms that are more massive than our own. When we transform into a form less massive, we create the material that goes into transrations. One of the most common uses is for those of us that choose to become taurs, but that transformation often takes multiple days, so it's either used when we visit planets that have taurs or when we make a decision to be a taur for extended periods. The DNA we're giving you along with the machines will allow you to transform throughout the rest of your life. Any large changes will take a fair amount of time, however." Gill brushes a bit of Leneth's fur off of his arm.
Wait a minute, if he wanted to, he could become a taur and have awesome taur sex? Taking weeks off of school or work to fully enjoy that transformation might just be worth it, but then he would need to budget the time to change back... "Why does your kind only have machines inside the body? You're advanced enough to have mechanical bodies or awesome cyborg laser cannon arms."
Leneth giggles. "Laser cannon arms... Sometimes you sound like you're a twelve-year-old from the eighties."
"When I get my laser cannon arm and vanquish all my enemies, we'll see who's laughing." Jaime starts laughing at his own ridiculousness.
Laughing harder, Leneth bounces Gill, who starts squeaking and laughing. When Leneth recovers, she smirks at Jaime. "You don't even have any enemies."
Putting on a false thoughtful expression, Jaime says, "I better start making some then..."
They all giggle and then Leneth speaks up again. "One reason we're not all cyborgs and/or androids is that we want to learn more about the races we're helping without messing up their societies any more than necessary. Do you think things might go badly if one of us was hit by a car on earth and people saw robot parts all over the road?"
Jaime cringes. "People would probably rent the Terminator movies for advice about what to do. Then things would get weird."
Gill bursts out laughing. "Those movies are actually really popular amongst us."
Giggling, Leneth says, "That makes me want to name my wireless router 'Skynet' and watch those movies again..."
"Actually, on worlds where there are cyborgs, some of us do get implants and other modifications. Given our history with AI and mechanized warfare, we shy away from pursuing those technologies. We have seen other races do great things with AI and tiny machines, though." Gill turns his head and uses his long tongue to lick Leneth's muzzle.
"Has your race's quest to furrify the universe prevented any disasters?" Sighing internally, Jaime wishes that Kurt was here so he could enjoy Jaime's new word.
Leneth snickers and Gill smiles at Jaime's comment. Then Gill looks thoughtful. "Yes, at least four times since we started. Only one of those times involved circumstances similar to what we experienced. The others were when prevented a disease from wiping out the population. Epidemics are much less frequent on worlds that we've helped. Some say that the diversity we provide helps dissolve racial boundaries and leads to more healthy world governments. When we add hybrids to the population we spread them homogeneously through the world population. It seems to have more of a positive effect that way."
"I think earth is better off," Jaime offers.
Leneth bounces with enthusiasm. "Damn right it is!"
Gill moans at Leneth's sudden movement and then he looks back at her. "I think I can pull off of you now."
Holding Gill down, Leneth growls playfully. "You're not going anywhere."
"Are you sure you can't release me?" Gill reaches behind himself and fondles Leneth's breasts. His tail joins in. The sudden onslaught of pleasure has Leneth murring and moaning. While she's distracted, Gill uses his legs to pull off of her. A pop can be heard as Leneth's knot comes out of Gill. "OOH!" Gill says as cum pours out of his pussy onto Leneth's lap.
Before Leneth can respond to the situation, Gill is licking up their mess. Jaime brushes his clit as he watches Gill's pussy drip onto the floor. He starts to rub a bit harder when he watches Gill lick Len's crotch. The moans from Len make it even more enjoyable.
Gill gives Leneth a sloppy kiss when he's done and then walks over to the wall terminal. "Jaime, it's time to immobilize you again. You ready?"
"Gotta do one thing really quick. Len, come here and put your lips to the glass."
Leneth walks over. "You won't be able to feel anything."
"It's the best we've got." Jaime puts his lips to the glass.
Giving the glass a nice big kiss, Leneth looks into Jaime's eyes. When they break the kiss, she smiles. "I love you."
"Love you too." Standing upright and letting his hands fall to his sides, Jaime says, "Okay, I'm ready."
"Just stay still and think about something other than the loss of motor control that's about to occur." Gill starts interacting with the terminal.
As each part of his body becomes inert to his mind, Jaime thinks about running, cuddling, and playing in this form. He thinks about being a herm in his everyday life and how much warmer he'll be with fur covering his body. The thought of showing Kurt his new form causes him to feel joy. The thought of having a tail to wrap around Leneth causes his heart to soar.
Putting on his unitard, Gill says, "Okay, all done. I'll be monitoring your progress from my office. If you want to see me in person, just call out my first name a few times. Oh, and you have access to computer files about your new heritage, so be sure to check them out."
Being immobile again causes Jaime to feel trapped. He calms himself by moving the camera from Leneth to Gill and then back again. "Thanks, Gill."
"No problem, and good-bye for now." Gill walks out the door.
"You okay? Your camera looks like it just got OCD." Leneth sits in the chair next to Jaime's body and picks up her laptop.
"Not moving really sucks. I'm trying to occupy myself."
She smiles into the camera. "Maybe you should read some of the things Gill gave you access to."
"Good idea."
* * * * *
Five days later, Jaime is even more excited about his body. He now has a backward bend to his lower legs, fully-formed ears, an almost-formed tail, fur that covers his entire body, a muzzle with whiskers, and horns on top of his head. The giraffe spots on his fur are really cool and his eyes are an awesome coppery color. He feels sexier than he's ever felt. Sex... He wants sex... He wants out of this damn tank so he can fuck Leneth senseless. "Gill, please report to Jaime's office."
Leneth giggles. "Let me guess, you want to get out of there?"
"I'd take just getting off again. I'm turned on by seeing you naked all the time and now my body is really turning me on. If I had a way to see my own pussy, I might have a mental orgasm." As Leneth puts her laptop to the side, he sees that she has a couple fingers of her other hand buried in her cunt. "And now you're masturbating right in front of me."
"I started reading some porn after I came back from the workout room. I don't know if I can wait until you're out of there to have another orgasm. You're body is making me really wet." Her cock starts pushing out of her slit as she fingers herself harder and moans. "And hard!"
"If you keep doing that, Gill might pounce you when he comes in. I think he liked your knot even more than he let on."
Gill steps in front of Jaime's camera. "What gave you that idea?"
"The silly grin that wouldn't go away the entire time you were tied to her."
"I've never been good at hiding things like that." Walking over to Leneth, Gill fondles one of his breasts. "Did you really call me over here to have another go with your mate? My first guess is that you wanted to move again."
Watching Leneth and Gill wouldn't be that fun if he couldn't move... "You're right. I'm horny and stir crazy at the same time."
Gill stops touching himself and gives Jaime a serious look. "Just wait twenty-five more hours and you'll be out of the tank. Then you can satisfy her yourself. If I meddle with the process again, it could be thirty or forty hours before you get out of there."
He zooms in on Lennth's crotch for a moment and watches as she moves her fingers in and out of her glistening sex. "Oh, well, Leneth, do you think you can wait another day?"
Leneth pulls her fingers out and licks them off. "If I don't look at you too much and stop reading porn, I might make it."
Looking at Gill, he tries to get the image of Leneth fingering herself out of his mind. "Gill, will I be too weak to do anything when I get out of this tank? Haven't my muscles atrophied or whatever?"
"That was one of the first problems with this process that we corrected. You'll need a few minutes to get used to your new form, but we've made that process much easier as well. Once we've released you from the tank, you should be able to bonk Leneth within a half-hour." When Gill says the word 'bonk' he starts making a very lewd gesture. He brings his obscene hands right in front of Leneth.
Chuckling, Leneth starts using her tongue on Gill's hands, making his gesture even lewder.
Trying to keep a straight face, Gill starts giggling. Then he finally can't take it anymore and starts laughing. Jaime starts laughing when Leneth cracks up.
Leneth recovers first. "Thanks Gill, I doubt I could find a better doctor if I tried."
"It might take a while, but I'm sure there's someone more talented," Gill says with a wave of his hand.
"But they wouldn't have your bedside manner." Leneth pokes her tail at Gill's clit.
"EEEP!" Gill's entire body straightens as he throws his head back.
Jaime giggles along with Leneth.
With a thoughtful expression, Gill grabs the end of Leneth's tail. "These medical jump-suits do little to protect the medical staff from sexual advances. Perhaps I should redesign them."
"To make them more susceptible to sexual advances." Leneth sits up and gropes Gill's firm ass.
"Capital idea, Len." Gill ruffles the fur on top of her head.
She releases him and chuckles. "You better get out of here before I tear your unitard off to get at the sexy flesh underneath it."
"EEP!" Gill playfully runs out of the room.
Jaime and Leneth have a good laugh.
