Chapter 52 - Explain Yourself
Tuesday 21st February 2017
-------
Sam had been watching Ami sleep for the last couple of minutes but it was time to get up. He leans forward a little before licking her nose. A smile creeps across the sky blue ones face before she opens her eyes. "Morning Ami."
"I knew you were holding back. I am glad that you are finally expressing yourself."
"It is difficult for me to know exactly what you like as you said you had a fear of being naked after being abused. Wearing a skirt with nothing underneath yesterday would hardly impede anyone though."
"I was naked Sunday night in front of Silana while putting her markings on her hands. Yes I was nervous but I was fairly convinced that she had no intentions of hurting me. I therefore felt happy enough just to wear a skirt as I have offered myself to you and Silana I think understands. The skirt is mostly to stop Hymara and Lianta as they are a little unknown."
"That seems reasonable, but the fact you seemed to struggle a little and said no yesterday, was that just the fear and you rather liked it?"
"I have a dildo in most of my dresses Sam so yes I like it. It is more the fact that if I am not in control of what is inserted then it brings back memories and the fear along with it. I need to learn to trust you Sam so pushing my limits as you did yesterday is good and if it is you taking advantage of me then I can feel even better knowing you got something out of it as well."
"Well you did repay me yesterday by stopping Liphanya pushing me arse first into a wall so that was something."
"That made me feel funny for a while after doing that and I was worried that she may try it a second time. That is the only problem with my biotics, they are weak and I physically cannot manage much more than one action every couple of minutes. Unfortunately after my suicide attempt I bet I could only manage two actions before feeling awful."
"I guess the actual process is much like lactic acid in muscles then?"
"It is probably similar but since I probably know more about your biology than I do my own I do not know for sure."
"We should be getting up and having breakfast." Ami licks Sam's nose before shuffling across the bed and getting up. Sam can only sigh as he dries his nose on the duvet before getting out of bed.
-----
"I guess neither of you saw some interesting news pieces on Sam yesterday?"
"By interesting what do you mean Seliha?" Fosanta asking the question Kate wanted to but a mouthful of food prevented her.
"The fact he was hit by a biotic push from one of the workers. The quality given the lighting was not really good enough to see who but reports say that it was the hanger manager."
"Do you know if he is ok?"
"He seemed fine Fosanta given the push exploded just before it hit him."
"I know what you did to Maritha Adastra and I have been lifted with biotics but quite how dangerous are they?"
"I would have shown you Kate but I cannot be confident of not hurting you with a bioamp. A throw can kill someone if they are thrown backwards into something solid and crack bones if it is something that deforms."
"I think I will be ok without a demonstration Adastra especially when I have three clients to see this morning."
"I am going to send a message to Sam anyway as he may be bruised." Fosanta opens her Omni-tool.
"We must be going so can you tell us how he is at lunchtime?"
"I will Adastra. Have a good day." The two of them nod before leaving.
"Can I ask you to show me what I could expect with biotics if they were used against me? I have only been biotically lifted which was strange."
"Being lifted is a little strange Kate. Since you have finished your breakfast I will show you a push if you would follow me." Kate follows Fosanta to their spare bedroom. "Could help me put that mattress against the wall Kate?" The two of them tip the mattress off the bed and walk it along to the wall.
"I guess this is so that I do not get hurt?"
"I am hoping so Kate. If you could stand in front of it. My only piece of advice is to try not to push it away with your hands as it may hurt or break something." Kate nods and Fosanta releases a weak push directly into Kate's chest pushing her into the mattress a little.
"That is not what I was expecting, Kate catching her breath a little."
"I hope you are not bruised or hurt?"
"I am not as it was only like catching something heavy that was being thrown at me. I am not sure whether knowing what it feels like is a good thing though as I guess that was fairly weak?"
"It was the weakest I could be without having to use a limiter Kate."
"I can see how it could cause some damage in that case. We should be leaving as I have a meeting at ten." Kate noting the time on her Omni-tool.
-----
The five of them walk into the locker room, Sam carrying a box. "The message said one zero seven one for me."
"I am next to you then." Ami smiling and her smile getting slightly wider as Sam jumps with his Omni-tool beeping. Sam puts the box down in front of the locker before reading the new message.
Sam,
I heard this morning that you had been attacked yesterday. We were all a little concerned you may have been hurt.
Fosanta
"It is nice to know people keep an eye out for you but considering I did not message Fosanta saying I am a cripple in hospital, then they should have got the idea that I am ok."
"I am sure a quick message back would not hurt anything or take much time Sam."
"You are probably right Silana." Sam begins composing a quick message as Amistathya empties her items out of the box into her locker.
-----
"Good morning come in." Pheinova being in a good mood it seemed this morning. Fosanta walked into room 25001 to see Whesiva already at one of the three consoles around a square table in the middle of the room.
"Morning Whesiva." She looks to Fosanta and gives a nod and a smile before getting back to work. "This room is not overly large is it?"
"Unfortunately you are correct Fosanta. It has all the testing equipment that we will likely need in and enough space for one individual to be tested but a bigger room with more equipment and space would have been better."
"Why could we not have one of the normal testing rooms?"
"It is difficult to take them without the whole biotics department finding out about why and what is happening. We therefore have to make use of this room as best that we can. If you two need an excuse as to why you are not in your normal rooms say that you are on a course covering non-obvious behaviours of bio-amplification."
"Is there a reason you picked that topic Pheinova?"
"I used to teach it as an off campus subject for an Armali college Whesiva. I thought it would be preferred to the use of biological nervous systems to augment stability control systems in bio-amplification."
"It is as we could be a little creative if we were asked what we had been learnt."
"That was my thinking Fosanta. To begin what we need to do today. First I must point out that all Terasol files are only available to this room and please do not remove them on Omni-tools or data disks." The two of them nod. "The second is I think I may have one interested individual and there may be a second but it may have to be taken a little cautiously."
"Can we ask who Pheinova?"
"Ebaea is a friend of mine who I have known for many decades. She has always been keen to have a bioamp but the cost of one from Serrice is extortionate for something which they cannot guarantee performance on. I am sure she would jump at this opportunity and she is the right kind of individual. I guess you have both read the news this morning and seen a potential second candidate?"
"You mean the piece about Sam being attacked on his first day and the push exploding?"
"Yes Fosanta. I am hoping that you have kept ties with him after he was requested to not work here as we need to ask who it was."
"He is now living in Astys Building, apartment 801, with Amistathya, his servant Silana and his two commandos for security Pheonova. I am curious as to why you would like to know as Sam is not biotic."
"I understand that Fosanta but since he was right there then he may know who caused it to explode. The video footage the media has obtained has very poor lighting so it is difficult to know who caused it. It may well have been a worker but at least Sam may be able to narrow down our search even if it was."
"Can I ask to get us back on topic why you are a manager and not a designer when you can produce bioamps like this so quickly?" Pheinova laughs a little.
"I have not produced this in less than a week Whesiva. As I said I made this many years ago when we were designing the Pulsar amplifier range. All I have done is finished off and updated the design with a couple of individuals from that old team. I then gave it a little tweak to make it work for our application and to obscure how it works." Fosanta opens the file and notices three designs.
"Can I ask why there are three variations?"
"Ebaea will probably be happy enough to use 15mm for testing but she really does not like them for long term wear. There is a separate design for testing and the considered consumer version as the consumer version has a lot of hardware obfuscation and it also produces a lot of random noise to block sensors."
"I hope you do not want sensors in that design Pheinova as that may be a tough ask."
"We need DNA and neural mapping sensors Fosanta but nothing more. These designs are being made with the intention of only the given owner being able to activate and use them. The design would be quite sort after by Serrice Council even if it provides less amplification given it is much cheaper to make than their design and works for almost any pulsed biotic if some changes are made."
"How do you know what the Serrice design is like?"
"We have one in our labs on Thessia Whesiva. We like the design but we are unwilling to take the same approach as it is expensive to manufacture and has too much variability between units. We like the best we can get out of only a reasonable amount more than the cost of an Armax bioamp and have consistent quality and performance."
"That is good to know. I guess I should get to work putting the sensors in the test version?"
"If you would not mind Fosanta. I just have some more changes to make to the proposed consumer designs." Fosanta nods to Pheinova before they both get to work.
-----
"How long until you get rid of the two with guns?" Sam heard off to his left as they walked into hanger three. He looks over to see Liphanya looking over to him, a datapad in her hand.
"Well that depends on when I feel safe but given someone around here tried to squash me against a wall yesterday then I feel it is a necessary precaution."
"It was your own fault."
"Perhaps but it was hardly a friendly way to greet a new individual by mocking their choices and decisions. Ami is my bondmate and is not my pet; Silana while she is my servant is just looking for a quiet life where she is appreciated. I got the feeling from talking to her that she did not get that here."
"Servants are to be used as their owners see fit. If you are too weak to be an owner then perhaps you should consider letting Silana go."
"I considered that on Sunday Liphanya. Do you have any more advice?"
"Get a proper job sometime soon, perhaps in a warm office with comfy seats."
"Perhaps I should get a comfy seat that I can fold up and keep in the locker. Thinking about it, that would be a really good idea." Sam could see an annoyance forming on Liphanya's face. "If you have an issue with me being here then please speak to Olissa but I do hope you have a pleasant day." Sam decides to disappear into the ship before something happens.
"Do you have to be so annoying to Liphanya Sam?"
"Do either of you three think I was unreasonable?" Amistathya shakes her head.
"I think you may have to tread with a little more caution than you are doing at the moment Sam."
"I agree with Lianta but we have discussed with each other that we should be with you continually here. Unlike at Armali who have a tight security procedure, here I feel they take almost anyone who they have a job for and security is not much more than a door."
"I feel that is something that you should decide not me Hymara. Silana it can be difficult at times for me to understand what is reasonable and what is not after melding with Ami. I feel I am trying to be nice to her but I will take Lianta's advice and be a little more cautious. The fact you are defending her is worrying me though."
"Keeping Liphanya happy was one of the things everyone did to make their lives easier. The fact you seem not to follow that accepted wisdom makes me a little anxious as to what may happen."
"Nothing will happen Silana. It is just the fact she seemed intent on insulting or provoking me that irks me a little. I do not mind her being cold or uncaring as long as she is not aggressive in her intent." The three of them walk into the thruster space at the back to the ship to find a servant waiting for them. "Could we help you?"
"Erm, I, sorry, we would highly appreciate you informing us when you may finish the gas feeds." The Asari really sounding nervous.
"Can I ask if this is just for information or is it important that it is done before everything else?"
"I, sorry, we were informed to ask you directly for updates and not Liphanya."
"That will probably be a wise idea as I am not exactly getting along too well with her at the moment. She just needs to treat people a little better and everything will be much happier. Anyway is it important that we get the gas feed done soon or not?"
"I apologise but I do not know. I was only requested to find out when they may be completed."
"Silana, is there anything stopping us concentrating on the gas feeds and if so how long?"
"We need to complete power first as I guess if the gas feeds are going in then the fusion core will be started this evening. We can leave control until tomorrow but it will be the end of the day before the gas feed is completed."
"The end of today is therefore your answer. If your group leader would like it completing sooner then we may be able to work something out. I hope you have a pleasant day." She nods before leaving. "Poor individual, she looked rather scared."
"I guess some of the individuals in here see you as an individual more like Olissa than a servant Sam. I can hardly blame them as I was rather scared at first as well."
"I remember that. I guess I should get to work instead of talking."
"It would probably be a good idea." Sam nods to Silana before beginning to help her with checking the power systems are correct.
-----
"Seliha and Fosanta are not going to be joining us today Kate." Adastra sitting down at the table.
"I know about Fosanta saying she would be eating later but unfortunately I cannot as I have an appointment. What is Seliha doing?"
"Some piece of work she said she needed to get done before lunch."
"Did you not want to have your lunch later with her or do you have somewhere else you need to be soon?"
"I have spent most of the morning waiting for the simulator. We had to split the twenty metre design down into nineteen smaller plasma tubes. So that is what is currently running and until we get the results back there is not much we can do. It was estimated to finish in about half an hour. It is a pity we could not have had lunch earlier."
"It seems we are in the same situation then Adastra. Can I ask who started the show on Sunday in Eternity?"
"I may have teased Seliha a little too much. I was certainly not expecting her to react quite that way but it was good and it seems to have made her a little happier which is nice."
"Have you ever found her scary Adastra?"
"Not really Kate. She has been manipulative and a little forceful at times but she seems to care about me so it is not a problem. How are you finding Fosanta?"
"She is a warm, friendly and caring individual who I really care about. I am however still trying to wrap my head around the odd concept of if we are to have a child then I would be its father. Sam has this easy as he can essentially pick any Asari he wishes and it works out conceptually fine."
"You could always see if Fosanta was willing to adopt a child from a male and yourself if that is such a strange concept for you."
"I am sure I would be ok with it Adastra but it just seems strange. I must however leave as I have a meeting shortly."
"I will speak to you later." Kate nods before she leaves Adastra to finish off her lunch.
-----
"I wonder who that could be at this time of the evening?" Sam reacting to the sound of the door chime. "It would have to be while we are eating as well."
"I will get it Sam." Lianta leaves her food to go to the door.
"Good Evening. I apologise for interrupting but could I speak to Sam?"
"Pheinova?" She nods. "You are a long way from Thessia. Come in." Lianta gestures her in and shows her to a seat.
"Well I was not expecting it to be you who turned up today Pheinova. How are you?" Sam shuffles Amistathya off his knee before scooping his plate up off the dining table and walking to the sofa.
"I am well Sam. I am most surprised you are not still working at Armali."
"I stick to my decisions if I feel they are right Pheinova. That meant staying with Ami even if it meant having to move out of the house with the others and find a new job."
"That would be why I am here to be honest Sam. I cannot say much other than do you know who saved you from getting thrown backwards yesterday."
"That would be my sky blue one Pheinova." Sam gestures her to join him from the table.
"It is a... pleasure to meet you." Pheinova seemingly a little unsure about something as Amistathya sits down next to Sam and cuddles up to him.
"Let me guess, you do not like her body? I seem to be finding that most older Asari are either only accepting or outright dislike them."
"I am sure that you have likely been told why Sam."
"The sky blue markings on her arms and legs are natural. The rest are the result of someone giving me a marker pen. The black marks on my face and hands are also marker pen along with all the marks on Silana except the dark green ones."
"I was aware you had marks on your face, neck and hands from looking at the media reports Sam. I was not quite expecting to see Amistathya quite like this. The shamelessness of deliberately showing so much body marking is not helping me form a great opinion of you."
"I know I have been told why this stigma is attached to body markings but can I ask why it is so strong? Asari seem open and rather promiscuous at times so why is showing this a bad thing, especially in the privacy of our own apartment?"
"Perhaps you would be correct when we are young Sam but less so as we get older. I even thought tattoos were a silly idea when I was a maiden and it has only become a more contrasting viewpoint as I have grown older."
"I think you should at least consider an exception for individuals such as Adastra and Ami as they had no choice in their markings. I think it was Adastra, but I may be wrong, who said after I had complimented her that it was the first time she had felt happy in her body in decades. If an individual is willing to be tattooed then they should be willing to cope with the negativity but not those who had no choice just because of a random mutation."
"I guess you like them then Sam?"
"Ami is my bondmate and a wonderful individual Pheinova so that is a bit of a silly question. I also seem to empathise with marked Asari as all they wish is to be accepted as a normal individual. Can we at least get back to why you are here if you are intent on disliking Ami?"
"I am not sure I should. I thought if it was Amistathya it was to be a big risk already."
"I really hope that Athya having markings is not affecting your judgement Pheinova. I am Silana if you wish to know and no, none of the markings on my body are real or permanent." Silana making sure to emphasize the point so she is not given a negative first impression.
"I believe Silana is walking in at the right point here. I personally am fairly open minded towards others and I believe Lianta is as well hence why we were chosen to be Sam's security. While I know about how much some Asari detest tattoos as they see it as destroying a perfectly nice body, this almost bullying is a bit of a shock. We pride ourselves as a species on being accepting, respectful and understanding towards other species but we have some inability to do the same for ourselves. The fact you seem to be considering denying Amistathya an opportunity just because she has natural markings is a rather striking example of this differentiation." Hymara appeared to feel a little happier after the rant given the less tense look on her face.
"You articulate a valid point. I was here to offer the individual who saved you yesterday Sam to come to Armali in the near future."
"Well it would not be for propulsion if you are after biotics so it must be for testing and I guess since you are targeting specific individuals it is a new development part. You may as well come clean as Seliha was almost the same when trying to get Adastra to join the pulsar testing group."
"This design is being completed tomorrow and results will determine whether it gets scrapped entirely or gets advanced into a custom product. We are offering the customised product to the test participant to keep once it has been tested against the test version to ensure there are no discrepancies in results."
"Why would Armali give away bioamps?"
"We throw away fifty testing bioamps a month Sam, if an individual can make use of them then they may as well do so instead of having them incinerated. The two questions I have to ask if you are to accept are, do you have a 15mm holder Amistathya and will you be happy with a personal design bioamp with no text or logos on at all?
"I could use a dress and can I colour the design how I wish?"
"You can make the design however you want. I guess from your response that I should provide a 15mm holder."
"You do not need to Pheinova, Ami's dresses are essentially created from a bioamp holder and they still work as such. I guess you just wanted her to put it on before she arrived?" She nods. "So when should we arrive as Thursday I would really like to keep free as I have a passenger transport to look at and Friday afternoon Seliha and Adastra are going to come around here?"
"I do not think it would take long so Friday morning would be ok. I will happily pick Amistathya up from here and bring her back."
"I would not try to separate me from either Ami or Silana Pheinova. I will come along and go to meet Adastra or something. Silana can stay with Ami while she is testing to keep her away from everyone else."
"That is all well and good Sam but I need this keeping quiet and having you make an appearance will create suspicion."
"What if I said Silana needed to be tested to see if she could biotically catch either myself or Ami as there has to be an individual on each team who can. It is plausible as Silana was not a team previously and so had no need to be tested. I can say Amistathya is keeping her company."
"I can see that being believable. If you could meet Adastra in the Skylounge then I think Usarta would prefer it as having you going into a development room could cause headaches."
"I will and we could always get a lift back here with Adastra and Seliha."
"Then it is agreed. I will arrive here to collect you on Friday morning."
"Have a pleasant evening." Sam gets a nod off Pheinova before she leaves the apartment. "Ok I am starting to believe getting people to understand the marking condition you have Ami is going to be a struggle at best."
"I know it would be more worthwhile talking to a sunfish Sam but I really do appreciate you for trying."
"I think it could be the shock of seeing something different Sam. I was a little like that when I first looked in the mirror the other day but now I really like what you have drawn on me."
"I am glad you have warmed to them Silana. I believe you two wished to have some questions answering this evening about us three?"
"We did. I just need to go to the toilet first though." Sam nods and Lianta leaves.
-----
Adastra leaves the dining room table to go to the toilet. Seliha waits a few moments to allow her to get up the stairs. "I hope neither of you two are offended but I am hoping that Adastra will accept an offer on Friday while we are at Sam's apartment."
"An offer of what Seliha?"
"A ritual Kate. It is not easy to get the more traditional ones here on Illium. I have a friend at the Thessian facility who has agreed to put one on the parts freighter. It means I should be able to pick it up on Friday from Armali."
"Why are they not easy to get hold of?"
"I will let Fosanta tell you later Kate as I want to keep this a surprise." Kate nods and the three of them get back to eating. It is a minute or so more before Adastra turns up which gives Seliha a bit of confidence that she did not hear the plan.
-----
"I said I wished to get to understand you three a little better but I am confused as to where to start." Sam looks over his shoulder to see Lianta just walking across from the bottom of the stairs.
"Well, Ami is a little difficult to explain for the moment. Silana has an agreement separate from the contract that she is willing do as I suggest. That is the reason she has two stripes on her upper leg and not one."
"So you just do as Sam asks Silana?"
"I can make requests Lianta but it is up to Sam as to whether I get what I want or not. He may accept, negotiate or decline my request and his opinion is final. If Sam makes the request then there is a little scope for negotiating as Sam is not mean but generally what he requests is final."
"Is that a little clearer about Silana?"
"It is. What is the agreement between yourself and Amistathya?"
"We have agreed that we can consider that we own each other but she must compensate me for what I do where as I do not have to do so. I actually think this agreement is remarkably similar to what we had before with the contract."
"So Amistathya, if you wish Sam to do something you need to provide him a reason to do so?"
"Yes, I already owe Sam everything so I feel guilty if I do not offer something in return Hymara."
"Could someone explain why you get these silly ideas at times as I think that is what is confusing Lianta and I the most."
"The coloured shower gel was Adastra's idea, hanging Kate upside down was Ami's idea and going to meet Silana was my idea as it was a bad day the day before. I have no idea who you can blame for the ritual, it was my idea for Olissa to come while we were ill as everyone was here and it got things sorted out. It was my idea to use the coloured markers that came in the box with the ritual as it would have been a waste otherwise. I was intending to keep the marks that were made hidden but Ami decided otherwise. Ami was the one who decided to kiss me in front of the reporters, not that I was complaining. Does that clear up who caused what Hymara?"
"It does but it does not explain why Sam."
"Adastra likes being a little silly so that is self explaining. I think Ami is both exploring her freedom and only having a bit of fun with the individuals she trusts no matter what anyone else thinks."
"Is Sam right with his assumption?"
"It is hard for me to describe to people Lianta. If I can see potential for personal satisfaction or excitement in a situation I feel I must take it if I have the opportunity."
"I think I understand Amistathya but it is not really helping us."
"What did you get on Wednesday Ami and could the others join in?"
"I think there may be enough for us all to have some fun." She has a think for a few moments. "Can I trust you two not to hurt me?"
"We have tried our best to stop you being harmed Amistathya. Why do you ask anyway?"
"In my personal belongings which I got back from Atansys last week I had an extra box. Someone is keeping an eye on me but they are being very secretive. The box has a number of things in for a messy evening of fun. I thought you two may wish to join in but I am unsure if I can trust you."
"What do you mean by messy evening of fun and why are you unsure?" Amistathya looks to Sam.
"I have said this before Ami, Hymara and Lianta look intimidating but they are not. I guess I should explain so we are not here waiting for Ami all evening. She was sexually abused in her past and so she has a hard time trusting people when she is naked."
"If you are happy to still offer Amistathya then just tell us what we can and cannot do. Both myself and Hymara have been taking orders for longer than you have been alive so we know what it means to break one."
"I will get the box and meet you all in the bathroom." Sam and Silana seem the keenest and quickly stand as Amistathya goes to get her box from the storage room. Hymara and Lianta follow behind Sam and Silana into the bathroom.
"Do you have any idea what is to happen Sam?"
"Well mess does not mean a shower if that is what you are thinking Hymara. Quite what, I have no idea. Ami has been a bit of a tease by not saying when I ask. If you are worried ask her if you can see what is to happen before agreeing." Sam pulling his t-shirt off as he talks.
"It is just I have never done this before with an individual I should be protecting." Amistathya walks in with the box. "Amistathya, would it be ok if Lianta and I looked at what is in the box first before agreeing?" She locks the door with a carefully placed elbow before turning around and placing the box in the middle of the floor.
"You can look if you wish." Lianta goes into the box as Amistathya moves into the corner by the bath before beginning to take her clothes off.
"Ok, I see what Amistathya meant by you not being quite what I expected Sam." Sam laughs as he puts his clothes to the back of the worktop.
"I am still wondering quite what you all expect Hymara. Seliha seemed to have a similar not quite sure how to react look."
"I think it is the fact we are a mono-gendered and female species that confuses us the most Sam. The fact you are very similar but yet you are male is a very strange concept."
"Will the strange concept be stopping you of staying Hymara?"
"What is in the box Lianta?" She holds out a large bottle of something for Hymara to take. "Oh."
"That was my thought as well Hymara. Can I ask while we are trying to get some questions answered why you get these kinds of items Amistathya?"
"It is a gift from the same individual who gave us the ritual. Are you going to stay or leave us?" Lianta looks to Hymara as Sam digs in the box.
"Do you know who it actually is now as I have a suspicion it is not Sha'ira or Holana?"
"I have only really spoken to her once and she was a waitress at the time."
"So you have only met her once and yet she gave you a ritual?" Amistathya nods her head before taking the bottle out of Sam's hands as he was reading the label. "Are you going to tell us why?"
"I think the sky blue one is more interested in what is about to happen Lianta. I bet she knows Ami quite well though and they have met more than once. It is just that the last few times it was not exactly the best situations to get to know each other better."
"Can you at least tell us who it is Sam?"
"Not unless Ami is happy for me to do so. I apologise Hymara but she is going to quite long lengths to keep herself hidden and I am confused as to why. I think Ami was trying to get us a meeting with her when we go to Thessia but I am not sure what is happening about that. Are you going to stay with us or not as we are waiting for you two if you are?" Sam moves to the box and pulls out a second bottle and looks at the label.
"Standard rules and no melding or toys." Silana and Amistathya nod to Hymara who seems happy enough to begin undressing.
"I have no idea what standard rules are."
"Basically Lianta and Hymara would like you to stop something if they ask you and no fighting."
"Right so basically no fighting oh and no sex with me either please. I am waiting for Ami to have the honour of being the first Asari." Amistathya smiles before squirting Sam with something. "Hey. Can I ask what this actually is?"
"It changes your skin colour to green where you lick it."
"You have not seen me yellow have you Lianta. It is not a pretty sight." Sam sighs. "I may as well help you make it an even coating Ami as I see I have little choice." Silana goes to the box and pulls out a bag of what looks like white sand. "Let me guess, that is edible as well Silana?"
"It is Sam although it does not list a flavour." Silana makes a hole in the bag and sticks a damp finger in. "Oh that is not all that pleasant. It feels like you are licking broken glass until it goes fizzy." Hymara pulls out one of the two small pots of something and opens the lid.
"I wonder what this is?" Hymara looking at the viscous green liquid in the tub.
"Ami, have a go at Silana for a minute. Hymara." Sam gestures her to hand over the pot which she does so. Sam prods his finger into the pot only to find it bounces off as if it was made of rubber. "I know what this is." Sam pours some out into the palm of his hand before handing the pot back to Hymara. He then rolls the fluid into a ball and throws it at the floor, only for it to bounce, hit the ceiling and Lianta to catch it only for it to begin to run between her fingers a few seconds later as she watches it. "That is cool although quite what you could do with it I have no idea."
"Can you save me half a pot? You can play with the rest as you wish."
"I guess you are not going to say why either?" Amistathya shakes her head with a smile as Silana finishes off covering her legs. Sam takes the bag of sand from the floor and liberally coats the two Asari. "What?" Silana hands the bottle of lubricant to Hymara. "Would you like a hand before Ami decides to kill me?"
"Since we are trying to be a part of this then you will hear no complaints from us Sam." He just takes a breath and makes a mental note to be confident and respectful before helping Hymara with Lianta.
"You two have quite a few scars. I guess most of them are from weapons, they all look quite small though?"
"Most of mine are from idiots with pistols Sam. Although this one," Hymara points to one on her upper right thigh, "was from a rifle. We can knit bone quickly in medical facilities to be as strong as it was before but I still feel it at times."
"Luckily we have not had any large gashes although I have a knife wound." Lianta turns around and points to a blue grey scar just below her left breast.
"I guess the idiot did not remember that left and right are the opposite way around when you face someone." Lianta laughs.
"No it was not intended to kill me Sam. The individuals just wanted me out of the way so puncturing the lung is a great way to do that. It was quite an effort to get to the medical centre like that."
"I bet. Your turn Hymara." Hymara hands the bottle to Lianta as Sam gets sandblasted by the two bored ones. "At least wait until we can all be covered, just be patient." The two of them nod with a smile as Sam shakes his head and helps Lianta.
"Are you a little nervous Sam?"
"What has given it away Hymara?" Sam stands back up after helping to cover her legs. He goes to sit down on the floor next to Silana and Amistathya.
"I think I speak for Lianta as well when I say we would probably prefer you to be too rough than be quite so, placid." Hymara and Lianta take a seat on the floor. Sam looks to Ami and suddenly has a plan so thinks English would be a good idea about now.
"You go for the left one; I will go for the right." Sam looks for the nod off Amistathya before turning to Silana. "Could you cover them before we jump?" Silana smiles and nods. "So you would rather I was a bit more forceful then Hymara?" She nods as she and Lianta get coated in the sand. Sam turns to Amistathya and nods before flattening Hymara against the white tiled floor, Amistathya doing likewise to Lianta. "Surprise." Sam makes sure to grab her arms before moving closer to her face. "Now what first." Sam feigns a kiss which Hymara actually seemed to fall for before he begins to lick her nose.
"That is mean."
"Sorry Hymara I was taught well although I thought you did not want to get intimately involved."
"You have me pinned to the floor, covered in lubricant and you are rather a turn on. It is rather difficult not to feel somewhat aroused and excited." Sam licks down the length of one of her folds and smiles as he sees a green tinge begin to appear several seconds later.
"I wonder if I can draw something. Silana, could you hold Hymara's arms down and of course you are free to do what you want." Silana does so and begins to lick Hymara's forehead as Sam decides a simple large tree growing from her azure would be a good start. He decides to do the top of the tree first and work down to the base of the trunk in stages.
"Sam, please just do it." Sam just stopping just short of licking her where it was obvious she wanted to be after he had drawn branches over her nipples.
"This is a good time for an incentive Hymara." Sam looks over to Amistathya who only had a large grin on her face as she held her tongue out and had Lianta move herself to be licked.
"Whatever you want Sam just..."
"So you will sleep tied up in the bath for a couple of fingers and a clean up?"
"Hymara, why are you even contemplating it?" Lianta thinking that is an awful bargain but she was also wishing she could make a bit of a bargain with Amistathya right about now.
"For one night only it is a deal." Sam quietly laughs to himself as he pushes two fingers very easily into Hymara and instead decides to add a third before beginning to slip them in and out. Sam does not have to work much more than a minute before he feels every muscle in her legs tense up, her muscles tighten around his fingers and her backside rise off the tile floor accompanied with a short pause in her previous low groan. A couple of seconds later and she relaxes with several deep breaths and a slight purple flush to her face. Sam pulls out his fingers and begins to clean her up a little while making the base of the tree. He made sure not to be mean this time as her time needed to end, otherwise they would be here until next weekend.
"Silana, I think we need to let Hymara sit up." She lets go of Hymara's arms and Sam helps her up. "It seems you can draw a picture with this stuff although the fact it feels like ploughing a glass field with your tongue is not a great bonus. I guess you enjoyed it though?"
"It will be worth every moment of a bad night. Thank you Sam."
"No problem. It seems those two are getting on well."
"If you promise never to call me Amistathya again then I will let you orgasm Lianta." Lianta seemed to be almost at breaking point of frustration with Amistathya skilfully keeping her just before the point of climax but never quite giving her enough stimulation to take her over the edge.
"You are..." Amistathya gives her azure one more lick for more incentive a devilish grin on her face. "Ok Athya." Hymara can only laugh as Amistathya just about manages to avoid Lianta's flailing but she made no doubt with her loud moan that it was pure relief finally. Ami takes her time afterwards to clean up before offering her a hand to sit up. "Remind me never to be stuck in a room alone with you Athya if I do not have a gun."
"I thought you said to me on the Citadel that you would never shorten anyone's name for any reason Lianta?"
"I would like to see you try." Hymara gestures for Amistathya play with her before lying back down on the floor.
"I hope that has answered why I do silly things now Lianta?"
"It has in the most difficult and pleasantly abusive way possible Sam."
"Do you just want to watch Hymara or would you like to help me give Silana some love?"
"I need a few minutes to recover Sam." He nods to Lianta before walking behind Silana pushing her down to the floor on her front. He collects her arms behind her but makes sure to be gentle.
"Let us see if your tribal markings are correct." Sam whispering to Silana before licking the underside of her folds. He quickly runs out of folds to lick before remembering that she said she liked her neck touching. Sam licks from her shoulders and up her neck instead. It was instantly obvious from a small shiver down her spine that he was on to something.
"Are you still feeling so confident?" Lianta smiling a little at Hymara becoming a little agitated.
"It would depend, what Amistathya wishes me to do."
"I will make you a deal if you agree to call me Athya Hymara."
"Go on."
"If you orgasm before Silana then you must agree to do what I wish for one evening. If you do not then you can be in a bed and not in the bath tonight, but still tied up." Hymara looks to her left to see Sam gently teasing Silana. She tries to think of a way out of this but decides to take her chances and takes a breath before nodding. Sam upon hearing this decides to get his own back on Amistathya. He lets go of her arms and squeezes his hands between Silana's breasts and the floor before teasing her nipples with his fingers. Sam feels her heart rate and breathing quickening and so goes for one long, slow lick up her spine. Sam feels her tense almost as if he was turning up a dimmer switch as he gets nearer her head. She tries to move away from under him but it was no use and she gave in to the inevitable, her body quivering in happiness. Sam carefully moves off her and she takes a number of quick breaths before a longer one, opening her eyes and turning to look at Sam.
"If you would just roll over Silana." She does so and even makes sure her legs are spread. "Ami, it seems Hymara has won." Hymara upon hearing that news thanks the goddess for the timing and gives in resisting with a groan and a bit of sliding around on the floor. Sam just smiles at the sight before finishing his work.
"I am impressed Hymara." Lianta helps Hymara sit up after Amistathya had moved away not at all disappointed at the outcome.
"No Lianta, Athya could easily have made me loose but she did not seem to want me to."
"I got what I wished from both of you and I also helped you Hymara."
"How do you cope with Athya Sam if she is like this?"
"I let whatever happens happen Lianta. It is the only thing I can do."
"I will just let everyone recover a little before it is your turn Sam." Amistathya having an innocent grin all over her face.
-----
"Can I ask why rituals are hard to get hold of on Illium?" Kate asking as the two of them settle into bed.
"Most of them use plants that are native to Thessia. They also tend to only like soil which contains element zero which makes them difficult to cultivate on other worlds. There are other rituals but some of the alternatives loose something and feel a bit cold."
"If you are feeling any pressure at all to offer me one Fosanta then please take your time. I would appreciate it if we were not just following the others. As I said on Saturday, I would like it to happen before we think of a child though."
"I remember that Kate, do not worry. I will try to think of a nice one that is fairly quick as I think you would appreciate that. I am just hoping that Seliha has had a similar idea and picked something legal that does not take several days."
"She probably has knowing those two but at least we will not be around to see some of it at least. We could go out on our own on Friday night together."
"I have an idea for that but I will keep it as a surprise. I hope you sleep well."
"You are not pushing me are you?"
"No Kate. It should be nice, different and just us two."
"Ok." Kate gives Fosanta a kiss as she gently strokes her folds. "I will sleep better now." Fosanta laughs a little with a smile before turning out the light.
-----
Sam was the only individual who was still covered in a film of drying lubricant and sand, four Asari seemingly content just to watch and wait. "I am not sure whether to be disappointed or thankful that you have not all jumped on me yet. I am curious as to why nothing is happening though as surely you have recovered." Sam just looks across to see them all with a slight smile on their faces. "Since you seem to be between me and the shower I may as well have a bath then if no one wishes to have fun." Sam leans over and turns the tap on before looking back.
"I apologise Sam."
"Why Silana?" He was sure this was a setup but was not sure how or why.
"I feel I am upsetting you and I do not like doing that to my owner." Sam turns around to turn off the tap for the bath before being pushed in head first. Sam tried to get a grip on the side of the bath to stop himself falling but the ever reliable lubricant did its job yet again. He was just glad the water was not much more than five centimetres deep in the bottom of the bath. He manages to untangle himself before looking up to see Amistathya jump over the side of the bath to pin him in the water.
"Let me guess, it was you who pushed me." She just gives Sam a pleased smile.
"I guess we should have a shower and clean up in here." Sam hears Lianta saying through one ear as the other is full of water. Amistathya leans down to be next to his ear.
"I will have sex and meld with you Sam. The catch being that the water will be running until we are both satisfied." Sam closes his eyes and tries to get the situation he is in out of his head until he hears the water running which just brings everything back in a vivid clarity. Amistathya carefully moves herself without letting go of Sam's arms to be positioned just in front of his cock. She slides onto him in two increments, an excited pause between the two, before leaning down and looking into Sam's eyes. He knew that she hoped he would know as it was not like he could hear anything other than the tap running, his heartbeat and for the moment, breathing. Her eyes turn black and Sam feels her tremendous arousal at the situation which only adds to the list of things that are making him so horny he thought he may pop. Ami begins to slide on his cock and the pleasure from not only himself but from Ami makes his mind unable to think of anything other than floating in a sea of pleasure. Ami seemed to try and continue making only a handful more thrusts before the sea of pleasure enveloped them both warming glow. The fact the water was now over Sam's nose meant nothing. Ami managed one more thrust before their muscles joined with their minds in being practically useless. The virtual world in which they were in suddenly became clouded with panic. Ami breaks off the connection and pulls Sam out of the water to a deep breath and a couple of coughs.
"Goddess, are you ok Sam?" Hymara clearly panicked by the situation.
"I, I am fine." Sam sounding a little choked and out of breath, another cough and several more deep breaths soon solves that.
"What were you two doing? I just thought you were having sex before having a bath."
"Sorry, I cannot think at all Hymara." Sam closes his eyes to try and work out what is happening and where he is but everything just feels like a blur. "The best I can offer, is to tell you tomorrow." Hymara seemed torn between what she had just seen and how much she trusts Amistathya not to hurt Sam.
"Just promise me that you will not do anything other than wash yourselves and then go to bed this evening." Sam nods as Amistathya shuffles away from him, pulling his cock from her pussy. "We will see you both in the morning then as we have cleaned the floor."
"We will not make any more mess." Hymara nods and she along with Lianta leave. "Would you like to have a bath with us Silana?" She thinks no to begin with but then remembers that Sam may still be disappointed so it would be a good opportunity.
"I will Athya." She gets in behind Sam before licking his neck. Sam laughs given he was too happy to have a go at her. "What would you like me to do Sam as I would quite like to make up for earlier."
"If you would use the washcloth on the side to make sure I am clean I would appreciate it." Silana leans past Sam to his right to pick up the green washcloth. "I feel exhausted. That was..."
"Difficult?"
"Words would never even begin to scratch the surface Silana."
"I guess you melded then?"
"We cannot really admit to that."
"I understand that Athya. You were not too bad at being fairly clean already Sam."
"I appreciate the help. Are you ready to get out?" Amistathya nods and the three of them get out and dry themselves. Silana quickly puts her underwear on as Sam and Amistathya scoop up their clothes off the worktop. "Silana, could you tie Hymara's arms folded behind her and tie her ankles to her arms?"
"I think I can manage that."
"Thank you." Silana nods and goes downstairs as Sam and Amistathya head to bed, Amistathya locking the bedroom door after she has entered. "The fact I felt none of your past was just... I don't know. It makes no sense."
"The mind concentrates on the strongest thoughts and feelings and ignores the weak ones." She just hoped Sam did not put two and two together or if he did that he would understand.
"I think Hymara was thinking you were trying to kill me." She says nothing but just climbs into bed. "I must ask but were you?"
"I know now that you trust me with your life Sam. That and I struggle to think of a time I have ever been so aroused before."
"The latter sounds more like it. I am going to need an explanation for Hymara tomorrow and I have none. The two of them already have little doubts over you Ami and I am fairly sure this is only going to cause more." Sam hears a knock on the door.
"Could you get it Sam?" He nods and gets out of bed. He opens the door to find Silana standing there.
"I deeply apologise if I interrupted anything but Hymara asked me to at least ask if I could keep an eye on you tonight. She did not seem to grasp that I cannot make demands and she cannot tell me what to do without your permission. I am only asking because I think it would calm some nervousness."
"At least come in for a moment while I decide." She nods and does so to see Amistathya sat up in bed with the duvet around her.
"I think they are both worried that you are dangerous for Sam Athya. I am not sure quite what to think as I do not know what happened."
"Have a seat on the bed Silana." Sam jumps in and shuffles up next to Amistathya as Silana takes a seat at the foot of the bed. "Would you like to explain Ami?"
"Silana, can you promise not to tell anyone else?" She nods. "My dark streak as you call it Sam is secretly very desirable for me. While I would be content with normal things the fact you seemed open to me messing with your mind and the fact you accepted a dangerous ritual made me realise you may be accepting of my other desires as well. I will never cause you at least lasting pain and I could never actually kill you Sam as that would feel like killing myself."
"That explains the why you do what you do, but not why you thought trying to drown me in the bath was a good idea."
"The fact you were in a cramped space would have made getting out from underneath me difficult. I therefore had a pleasing upper hand but it needed something to make it that bit more special. I then remembered what Sha'ira had said and wondered if I could do something similar as it was certainly an intriguing and arousing idea."
"Why did you do it to Sam though?"
"I thought the experience would be a little extreme but not unpleasant for him as he trusts me. I deeply apologise for the second or so between you being desperate for air and me pulling you out Sam. I can only guess it felt longer than that and it was rather uncomfortable."
"The less said about that bit the better."
"So you do not feel upset or angry at Athya at all Sam?"
"I am well aware that I should Silana but I don't. I am not sure if it is something Ami has done to my mind or just through her constantly driving me insane that I am starting to accept it as normal."
"I have not changed anything more since we broke the contract Sam as I have had no need to do so."
"That at least is good news. I still need to work out what to say to the other two tomorrow as I think they are a little scared of Ami now."
"Lianta seemed happy but a little unnerved. Hymara seems the most worried at how you seem to be able to manipulate others to your whim." Amistathya puts her arms around Sam and snuggles up to him.
"Can I ask why you seem a little unhappy?"
"You know I dislike making anyone unhappy Sam. It sounds as if Hymara thinks I am evil and I only think of myself. The fact she could even be thinking that hurts me."
"I think we best get to sleep as this just seems to be making us all unhappy after a good evening. Silana, if you feel it is best then you may for tonight sleep behind me. All I ask is no excessive touching." Sam shuffles over to be on Amistathya's side and Silana gets in behind Sam. Amistathya wraps herself around Sam before giving him a short kiss and putting her head down on the pillow. "I guess you are comfortable wrapped around me?"
"It makes me feel happier." Sam laughs a little.
"I hope you sleep well Silana."
"Same to you both."

Notes.
There is a little I need to say other than I hope individuals remember back the previous chapters otherwise some of this could be a little confusing. I will post the next chapter on the 26th of December for all those individuals who need some relief from over-eating. I wish everyone a pleasant holiday period.
A review or a rating would be greatly appreciated if you could spare a little time to do so.
