Sarah Miller went in for CAP testing, finally, after her return from a special
medical mission to the Middle East.  Since the threat of a Sa'arm invasion,
most people had already been CAP tested. However, Sarah had been in a base
camp somewhere in Dubai at the time that testing became a prerequisite for
evacuation from Earth.

The problems began when the Middle East was removed from the potential
evacuation list by the Darjee. Sure, the threat of annihilation by an alien
race cooled the tempers of most countries, but the Darjee's announcement,
against the advice of all human governments, had made it nearly impossible for
Sarah and her co-workers to get out of Dubai.

The US government finally removed those workers by doing some old-fashioned
horse-trading. The Saudi prince wanted a few "key advisors" returned to his
country. In order to get those advisors, he allowed the US citizen "guests" to
return to the United States. It took nearly two years of negotiations for the
trade to be completed.

During that 2 year waiting period, many things about the testing process had
been changed. In order to improve the Confederacy's image among those who
would remain Earth-bound, all test subjects would receive nanobots to control,
or cure, diseases like diabetes, HIV, and cancer.

Sarah's test took nearly four hours, although she was unaware of the passage
of time. Four hours was still an unusual amount of time for an AI to run a CAP
test, though. When she emerged from the testing room, a large man in a gray
uniform was waiting for her.

"Sarah Miller?" he questioned. "I'm Jonas Reed, from the Confederacy Civil
Service Corps. May I have a few moments of your time?"

Sarah's surprise must have been evident on her face, because Reed continued
"If you could just step into my office for a moment, I have your CAP score
here".

She followed the giant man into the next room and took a seat where indicated.
"What is my CAP score? And, why do you wish to talk to me? I thought the
procedure was to be tested and then, if one's score is high enough, wait to be
extracted?"

He passed her a card, about the size of a playing card. "As you may know, it
has become more dangerous for those holding CAP scores above 6.5. Yours is an
8.2 and, as such, will make you a target. Terrorists have been targeting
people with such high scores and the Confederacy has taken to removing those
with scores over 8.0 immediately after testing."

He continued, "However, the AI has identified a small problem with you".

Sarah said "A problem? I'm not aware of any problem, except that I don't want
to fight. I'm a healer, not a soldier!"

Jonas raised his hand, "Please, let me finish." Seeing that she was waiting,
"I see that you desire to be a non-combatant, but you have high leadership
skills. The AI believes that the Civil Service may be an ideal posting for
you."

"What is the Civil Service?" Sarah asked. "I didn't know there were any
options except the Navy and Marines."

After explaining that the Civil Service group handled such issues as
concubines whose sponsors had died, along with working to help Planetary
Governors develop other services to back up the soldiers on the outlying
planets, Jonas asked her directly if she would be interested in becoming part
of that branch of the military.

Sarah thought quietly for a few minutes and then asked if her medical training
would be useful in the new service. Jonas's answers reassured her.

                        -----------------------

Jonas led her to a transporter and asked her to step through the doorway. The
ship she stepped onto was relatively calm since the crew was preparing for an
extraction. She met CPL Pete Taylor, the man in charge of the next extraction.
Taylor, like Reed was nearly 7 feet tall and, to Sarah's eye, huge. His
shoulders, she thought, were more than twice the width of hers.

 Jonas Reed, who Sarah quickly learned outranked many of the crew aboard the
Challenger, asked Pete to take Sarah down once the extraction got under way.
Pete looked distinctly pissed until Jonas showed him Sarah's CAP card...and
explained that Sarah would be a Centurion, the equivalent of a Major.

When Sarah arrived in the diner where the extraction was taking place, she
immediately thought of the bazaars she'd seen in Dubai. There were people
talking everywhere and everyone seemed to be wheeling and dealing. Women were
half-naked, or completely naked, and were doing anything they could to
convince someone to take them off the planet. Sarah wasn't truly surprised,
just somewhat startled because CPL Taylor had only been in the diner ten
minutes. She noticed that there were several men heaped in a corner of the
room who obviously no longer needed medical attention and, as she looked
around, she saw another man fall from a stinger blast.

Taylor spoke to her. "You're entitled to pick 6 concubines from whatever's
here, so long as another volunteer hasn't picked the person first. You
probably don't want all men or all women, since you're going to need someone
to impregnate your other concubines. I recommend you pick at least one woman
with strong maternal drives to take care of the kids, one person with strong
sub-scores for leadership and a couple of men to keep you from getting bored
with only one dick to play with."  He handed her a device designed to show her
a potential concubine's sub-scores. "Go pick yourself a family, Centurion."

                        -----------------------

Sarah looked around and decided that choosing her males should be first
priority, although it appeared that all of the other volunteers at this
extraction were men. One of Taylor's cohorts trailed along beside her as she
walked toward the group of men at the side of the restaurant. She asked them
if any of them had women in the groups that had already been chosen. No one
did, apparently, so she asked them if any had women in the diner who wanted to
leave the planet. Two men raised their hands and Sarah stepped to the first
man, a black man who was somewhat overweight and appeared to be in his early
50's.

The man, Leonard Johnson, or Lon, had great sub-scores for paternity. His
downfall was his easy-going nature. Lon was the type of man to sit back and
take orders. He'd do anything you asked, but he wasn't big on taking action
without some leadership. The CAP card said he had great scores for being
inventive in the bedroom, though, which Sarah felt might prove invaluable in
the days to come. "So, Lon," she said, "which woman over there is yours?"  Lon
pointed out a tall, dark-skinned woman who had that elegant look and ageless
face that so many black women are known for. She also appeared to be nearly in
tears because none of the male volunteers had looked twice at her since she
was thin to the point of emaciation. Sarah told Lon to bring his wife,
Carlotta, over to her.

When they returned, Lon looking eager and Carlotta looking as if she was about
to lose her last friend, Sarah asked them if they had any problems having sex
with others. Carlotta's eyes showed that she'd be open to the idea and Lon
said "Hell No!" Sarah checked Carlotta's card and found the leadership skills
that Lon was missing, along with the marks of a very hard-working woman. "The
two of you can go over there by that soldier. You're going with me." Both
smiled until Sarah said "However, your clothes must be left here. None of the
other volunteers are wearing clothes, and you won't be either."

Sarah waited until both had dropped their clothing, then turned back to the
group of men and asked the other man who had indicated he had a wife in the
diner for his CAP card. His sub-scores, however, showed that he had a tendency
to beat on women. She asked him to bring his wife to her and, when they
arrived, had both strip immediately. The man, John, dropped his clothing in
record time. His wife, Amy Franks, took her clothing off very shyly. Sarah was
appalled at the number of scars on the woman's skin. There were a number of
round burns, some healed, and quite a few scars from stitches, in various
states of healing. Amy told her the scars were from "cooking". Sarah took her
card and looked at it. The sub-scores showed her that Amy had a 3.2 score,
with a strong tendency to be very submissive.

She decided fast. Looking over at the soldier, she said "I want the woman, not
the man." John Franks began protesting loudly and moved towards Sarah. "You
can't take my...." The soldier dropped him with one quick stinger burst.

Sarah sent Amy to join Lon and Carlotta.

She turned to the next man, who introduced himself as Charles Fralex. While
Sarah looked at his CAP card, he shifted from foot to foot and looked
extremely nervous. "What's the problem, Charles?"

"I don't want to take my clothes off in front of all these people." He said.

"That's non-negotiable. Is there a specific reason you don't want to be naked
here? If it's a problem with equipment size, remember, I can fix that once
we're aboard the ship."

 Charles looked over his shoulder at three kids sitting in a booth on the far
side of the restaurant. "Those are my step-kids. I don't wanna embarrass
them."

Sarah's answer was "Do you want to get them off this planet instead of letting
them become Sa'arm food? Then you'd better strip."

Charles removed his clothes while trying to stay out of the kids' line of
sight. "If you don't take us, my wife's gonna kill me for doing this."

Sarah motioned for Charles to come closer. "You'd better start showing me a
good reason to take you with me then, hadn't you?"

For some reason, this seemed to be Charles' trigger to turn on his charm.
After making sure Sarah was agreeable, Charles slid an arm around her, burying
his face in her neck. The other hand slid down her zipper so that he could
work a hand into her jeans. Charles turned out to have magic hands and had
Sarah cumming in minutes. When she got her  breath back, she pointed Charles
to the rest of her group. He asked if he couldn't help her pick out the other
2 women she needed and Sarah agreed.

The soldier stepped in and whispered to Sarah that Confederacy rules wouldn't
allow them to take the step-children unless Charles had adopted them formally.
Charles actually smiled at this, "Yeah, I adopted 'em the same year I married
their mom. They're mine legally." So Sarah had her first children for her new
family. Under the new rules for extraction, Sarah could have opted to have
Charles' wife extracted as well. When she offered this option to him, he made
a pained face and said, "Why, so I'll get to listen to her constant bitching
up there that my CAP score wasn't high enough to get out on my own? No
thanks!" A quick consultation with the escort soldier confirmed that Charles'
wife, Melinda, was very high strung and prone to be overly critical. Sarah
decided she didn't want to deal with those qualities while trying to put
together her new family.

While the kids headed over to join the soldier, Sarah and Charles spent some
time looking over the group of women still waiting to be chosen. Almost every
woman in the diner was naked now, except for two sitting in a booth in the
corner. Sarah moved over to that group and asked for their CAP cards. Both
women had them, but weren't overly excited about having to "perform like
trained seals in public" in order to get off the planet.

Louise Martin was 35 and had been divorced since her early 20's. She had one
daughter who was 15, so an adult under the new rules, and her daughter wasn't
with her today. Louise wore her dark brown hair long and straight, with
glasses covering her dark brown eyes. If she'd worn braids and buckskins,
she'd have passed for an Indian squaw. Something in Louise's eyes made Sarah
ask for Louise's card instead of turning her back.

According to the CAP card, Louise had a hell of a sex drive, but hadn't had an
opportunity to put it to work much while raising a kid. Now that the kid was
technically grown, she'd been working on expanding her lifestyle. Then the
Sa'arm had decided they were going to visit and Louise found herself either
having to chase some geek who had a 6.5 or listening to some dork rattle on
about how his CAP score should have been higher.

She herself had a 6.3, but knew that wasn't good enough to get off the planet
alone. She'd decided that she'd volunteer for whatever group started a 'defend
the planet' movement.

It hadn't been Louise who made the trained seals comment. That came from Betty
Alderman, an over-50, over weight, heavily made-up officious secretary type.
In Betty's world, everybody was out to get all they could from others and no
one did anything out of kindness. Betty's 2.1 CAP, lack of interest in sex
(from the sub-scores) and overly critical nature earned her a pass from Sarah.
Charles privately thanked Sarah for that one later.

Sarah asked Louise if she really wanted to stay on earth and fight, or if
she'd rather go help insure survival of the human race somewhere else.
Louise's smile told Sarah that survival was a little higher on her agenda than
defense. Louise also looked pretty excited when Sarah asked if Louise would
have any problem sharing a bed with either Lon, Charles, or herself -- or all
three.  Louise offered to demonstrate her abilities right there on the table.

Sarah told Louise to strip and head over to the soldier. Louise dropped her
clothes beside the table, revealing a decent set of breasts over heavy legs
and ankles. Sarah watched as the other woman walked across the diner with her
head held high. "No embarrassing that one!"

When they moved away from the table, Charles suggested they look for a younger
woman to round out the family. His reasoning, that younger women could produce
children longer and would have more energy to help look after the kids, was
solid in Sarah's mind. Together they moved on to the naked women in the
restaurant.

Sarah checked out a slightly heavier girl who had apparently been rejected by
one of the other sponsors because she was "too fat". Sarah happened to like
the way the girl's tummy was rounded, and she really liked the smile Ramona
Rodriguez gave her when she held out her hand for Ramona's CAP card. Ramona
had great scores for motherhood and sex drive, with lower scores for
leadership ability and willingness to fight. But the fight wasn't completely
gone.

Sarah's Spanish was rusty, but Ramona Rodriguez' English was non-existent.
They found common ground when the Puerto Rican girl stepped up to Sarah,
kissed her full on the lips, sending her tongue on an exploration of the
inside of Sarah's mouth that was guaranteed to make Sarah's head spin. While
this was going on, her left hand found Charles' dick and got it ready for
Ramona to drop and inhale him while Sarah's mind was still spinning. Charles'
intake of breath and sigh let Sarah know that Ramona was going with them.

Once Ramona swallowed, she looked back up at Sarah, then opened her mouth with
an unspoken offer to share her prize. Sarah smiled down on Ramona and then,
pointing to her group, said "Vamoose!"

Ramona, for her part, was hoping she'd be able to get her two year old, David,
picked up. She stepped into line, but tears were running down her face. When
Sarah joined her family, she asked Ramona what was wrong. The only words Sarah
understood were "mi hijo" and "nino". She turned to the soldier who had been
tailing her and asked if he understood any of it.  His universal translator
apparently allowed him to extract both the baby's name and location from the
girl and he reassured both that David would be brought to the ship as long as
Sarah wanted him.

Sarah immediately said yes.

Her family was complete.

                        -----------------------

Upon arrival on the ship, Sarah's group quickly found a corner and she had
everyone sit down on the deck. Then, following the instructions of CPL Taylor,
she gathered up everyone's CAP cards, ascertained their medical status and
asked about any other children who needed to be retrieved from the surface.
Lon and Carlotta were apparently raising their daughter's three kids by
different men, so they were added to the list. Sarah took special glee in
adding Amy's two boys, Taylor and Matt, and two girls, Missy and Ashley, all
under 10, to her list, thus insuring those kids wouldn't be the target of
their abusive father any longer.

Once all 17 of them were in their pod later, Sarah got down to business.
First, she established rooms for the kids by gender, including a crib for
Amy's daughter Ashley who was only 16 months old. Then Sarah asked the AI to
show the occupants of the pod how to find food, bathroom facilities and fresh
clothing. All of the concubines wore the same "uniform", a gray shift that
covered almost nothing. Similar clothing was provided for the children,
although Sarah deliberately added underclothes or diapers for them.

Since the goal was for everyone to get much better acquainted, Sarah chose one
bedroom for the adults and decreed total nudity in that room. She also let Lon
and Carlotta know that they were no longer married and that they could not
sleep together until Lon had sex with every other woman in the pod.

The first night together as a family was spent with everyone getting to know
each other, and Sarah made sure they got into the down and dirty of things.
She asked each concubine in turn about their work history, favorite foods,
sexual history and abilities. Sarah already knew that her concubines would
have to do double duty as staff on their new colony, so she wanted to
ascertain each person's strengths before they arrived.

As she expected, Ramona and Amy would spend most of their time handling the
children. Amy, as the more experienced mom, would lead in this area, with
Ramona making sure the kids didn't browbeat Amy into giving them their way.
Since they'd all been fitted with a universal translator during the initial
medical screening, everyone could now speak directly to Ramona.

Carlotta and Charles each had strengths in leadership areas and weaknesses.
Carlotta had been from the projects on earth, which meant she was really good
in tough situations. She also had an innate ability to guide people into
following her lead.

Charles, for his part, had been in middle-management. He'd managed a few
convenience stores, then had moved on to restaurants and the like, so he knew
how to negotiate between the unreasonable demands of higher-ups, while still
getting good results of those left in his care. This meant Sarah could leave
him in charge of her family while she was gone without worrying that he would
stray far from her instructions.

Louise had been in sales, mostly selling dresses to fussy, upper-class women.
Her sales skills, honed by convincing women they looked good in that expensive
ugly dress, would be used heavily.

As the evening went on, members of her little group paired off for sleeping.
She instructed everyone to get to know one another physically as she motioned
Charles to follow her.

Once out of the group, Sarah turned to Charles and asked him to finish what
he'd started that morning. Alone, Charles was much more aggressive in bed
which suited Sarah fine. They spent some time just kissing and talking before
moving on to more advanced maneuvers. Charles was thrilled to have a woman who
actually responded in bed rather than waiting for him to do all the work.
Sarah, who had never been shy in bed, was thrilled to find a man who wasn't
intimidated when she told him to move his hand lower, or higher. By morning,
he was exhausted. Sarah was glowing when she went for her training from Civil
Service Representative Jonas Reed.

Jonas entered the briefing room, which actually was just an area separated by
a clear screen which was sound-proof but see-through. His briefing was short
and to the point. "You will be the only Civil Service representative on Kon-
at, a planet in the Delta Sector. You will be responsible for caring for any
concubines whose sponsors reject them, both on the ship and on the planet. You
will also be responsible for any concubines released by losses in military
actions. You will be their representative in relations with the colonial
government. There are some reports in the archives from other CS officers
about what has worked for them and what has not worked for them. Read them
carefully as they will be instructive in dealing with the new Planetary
Governor and the military on the planet."

Sarah already had her uniform showing her new rank. Now she asked about
uniforms for her family group. Reed explained that some CS officers had issued
a quasi-uniform for members of their groups whom they used as staff. However,
concubines were not allowed to wear any rank insignia, and their uniforms
could not be black or gray, since those were the colors of the military and
civil service. "Otherwise," Reed said, "You're pretty much on your own out
there."

She was shocked that there wasn't a more extensive training program and she
told Reed as much. His reply made it clear that she, like all the other CS
officers, would have to learn by the school of hard knocks. Then he added that
she should send regular reports about what worked for her and what didn't
work. One of the CS officers on another planet was working to put together a
training manual, but day to day concerns had kept that from happening quickly.

Sarah's next task was to decide about changes to her body and the bodies of
her concubines. Since Sarah was a fairly fit 28, she originally thought she
wouldn't need a lot of changes. She'd changed her mind after looking at the
various military people around her, though. She decided that her height should
be commensurate with the people she would be working with daily, so went for
the full two meters in height, with corresponding gains in muscle strength and
stamina. After seeing the carnage at the diner, she knew that she might have
to physically handle a concubine at some point in the future.

She decided that all of her concubines should be similar in height and age to
her, with corresponding increases in muscle for the men and adjustments for
the women to make child-bearing easier. Both Lon and Charles received
enhancements in their ability to extend sex, recovery time, and size of
equipment. She also had both men's weight adjusted to slightly bulky since she
preferred men who weren't super skinny.

For the women, each one's ethnicity was enhanced. Adding a few pounds to
Carlotta's elegant build seemed to make her even more regal, while Sarah had
Carlotta's hips widened and breasts enhanced to make it easier for her to have
kids.

Ramona kept her rounded tummy and beautiful posterior, while gaining in
height, although Sarah still kept her somewhat shorter than everyone else.
Ramona's changes made her look like a Latin princess. Her baby's reaction said
it all, "Mommy pwetty".

For Louise, Sarah chose to keep her slightly on the heavy side, but slimmed
down her legs and ankles. This emphasized Louise's high cheekbones and
confident manner.

Amy was the toughest concubine to make changes for, so Sarah actually asked
Amy what changes she wanted. Not surprisingly, Amy wanted all of her scars
erased and bigger breasts. Sarah gave Amy both, while removing the stretch-
marks from child-bearing and asked the AI to add in some nannites designed to
help heal the internal scars from Amy's abusive life. The AI actually made
some recommendations to help Amy's new family heal those scars as well.

The concubines each spent about 4 hours in the medical chamber, in three
separate shifts. When each one came back to the pod, everyone marveled at the
changes that had been made, but it took several weeks for all of the changes
to be visible. Scars and minor issues with size of breasts and penises
happened almost immediately, but changes to height and overall body mass took
some time. Everyone had to learn how to handle their new, basically larger,
bodies.

Amy's transformation was the most startling. She went from a mousy looking
woman to a blond bombshell in a few weeks!

*********

Life soon settled into a routine. At Sarah's insistence, each adult in the pod
spent time with each of their pod-mates. She learned that Ramona was
insatiable, especially when paired with a woman. Ramona was pregnant with
twins by Lon before the ship arrived on the new planet.

Carlotta turned out to be the biggest surprise. Her regal bearing actually
masked a woman who had no problem in the sex arena. Charles spent several
exhausting nights with Carlotta treating him as her personal playground.

Amy, who Sarah feared might need a lot of coddling to get started, actually
turned out to be the sexual powerhouse of the group. Since the AI had
recommended lots of cuddling, with no pressure on sex, Sarah advised her male
concubines to concentrate on making friends with Amy. She also specifically
told each man to spend an entire night with Amy doing nothing but cuddling
before moving forward.

Charles spent the first evening with Amy after her transformation. He lay
beside her, talking about various things they had in common: love of their
children, hope for the future, minor anxiety about what their new world held
in store.  Afterward, while Charles was running his hands up and down Amy's
back, she took matters into her own hands. Charles' swiftly indrawn breath had
her laughing at him. "Not expecting that, were you?" she grinned.

Charles shook his head at her. "No. Sarah told me to let you take the lead
tonight."

"Well, I like the lead I've found." Amy kissed Charles, then stroked her hand
on him. "I love the way you feel in my hand. It's been so long since I've been
allowed to control what happens during sex. Do you mind?"

In answer, Charles spread his arms out on the bed. "Lead on, little lady. Lead
on."

A few nights later, Amy and Lon spent a night together. The next morning, his
only comment was "That girl is a firecracker in bed!"

********

Sarah decided to use the "daylight" hours on the ship to train her family for
what she expected to find on the planet. Luckily, her group was going to a
planet with a political system already in place. The Planetary Governor had
apparently modeled his government on the American system, so Sarah hoped her
family would be able to easily grasp the rules on Kon-at.

Once they arrived at Kon-at, Sarah escorted her family to their pod and made
sure that everyone was comfortable and accounted for, then went to see Mike
Farris, the Planetary Governor.  After chatting with Farris for nearly an
hour, Sarah looked forward to working with him. She felt that she had finally
found a place where she and her family would definitely feel at home.
