Part 15: Returning to Bikini Beach, Luke nearly bolts in panic over his mind. Changing to Lucy, Luke remembers far more than he expected.

The thot plickens. Our heroine and her friend are about to have all their realities torn apart and replaced by things they never even imagined. Secrets are brought out, changes occur and Brandy and Sherry are introduced to Toni's home world and culture.

This is a short chapter, because there simply wasn't any other good place for the chapter break. The next chapter will be considerably longer. Look for it on Monday.

FROM BEFORE:

“Oh God…!” The idea I could have a baby had never entered into my psyche. The idea I was a woman was tolerable as a short term concept. We were the most advanced intelligent race ever, at least that we knew about. I was positive medical could find a cure. Now, Sherry was telling me I could possibly not only have a baby, I was designed as a baby factory! Damn those who did this!"

And now;

Part 5: Luke gets a two-week Bikini-Beach membership, so Lucy is around for a while. Jen tells her own dark history.

Part 6: Lucy goes through the next few days.

Part 7: Lucy attends the July 4th Celebration at Bikini Beach. For her, it's less celebratory and more revealing in a most distressing manner.

FROM CHAPTER 1: "I had wandered down to the galley after reading the reports coming in from medical and control. All our efforts were turning up negative. Our search teams had yet to find the cause. Medical had yet to find a cure. I felt tired, physically and mentally. My mind was shut down from fatigue when David and Toni walked in. I was totally exhausted, as none of us had much sleep the past ten days."

“Want to see your infection carrier?”

“YOU FOUND IT!” I turned around so fast I almost fell out of my chair. "Them.” David held his hand over my table and hundreds of little black balls that looked more like BB’s bounced and scattered everywhere."

So, our brave crew has found the source of their "problem." What is it? Where did it come from? Why them? Settle in and begin to find out all those answers and more.

CHAPTER 24 – Better Together
Once I’d made it to 100 I peered out the door. There was no sound, no movement.

CHAPTER 20 – Do You Remember

In autumn the temperatures stay warm in Southern California so I lay in bed wearing just my chemise reflecting on events.

CHAPTER 19 - Flake

CHAPTER 15 – Sleep through the Static

“So how’s things?” Dave asked

“All good” said Tim.

“Just all good?”

“Could be better you know aye Dave, lot’s been happening” Jeff added “don’t really know who to trust these days and who’s gonna stab you in the back, you understand”

CHAPTER 13 – Crying Shame

CHAPTER 11 – Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

We sat around the kitchen table discussing the situation we found ourselves in.

“You look nice today” Tim had commented to me as I walked out so I did a little curtsy with a smile in return.

CHAPTER 10 - Enemy
I stopped dead still, like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. Jeff and Jacinta looked at me startled.
