Don't ------------------------------------------------------------------ 43. End + 30 days: Epilogue. ============================ It took Cathline ten days to work around most of the DNA system's security, She still couldn't design any new drugs but she could produce more doses of the designs already stored there. Nowhere could she find the design for version 2 of the fixer. In spite of several tries Kat,Robert and Matthew remained in their transformed bodies. A month after Kat's final transformation the group sat down around the large dining table for their weekly discussion and update meeting. "How are you today Kat?" Cathline asked. "Fine. I'm kinda getting used to this now. Matthew tells me I walk like a cheetah or something like that. Anyway I'll miss being able to be with normal people." Kat said. "She's a real animal in bed. You can't imagine what she does with that tail!" Matthew added with a grin, stroking Kat's tail as it rested on his lap. "How's your efforts to turn us back to normal?" Robert asked, getting back to the point in question. "Not going very well. That's what I want to talk to you about. I cannot do anymore. I just don't have the knowledge or the passcodes to get things going again. I really think we should destroy the machine. The guild may not want it but governments, the Mafia, anyone will. The guild could make a lot of money out of selling it's location. Anyway the longer we leave it, the more likely the guild are to come." Cathline said. "No we need it, I need to get back to being me" Robert complained. "Yeah being like this is fun for a while but I want to be human again" Kat said. "How do we know the guild know where the system is?" Matthew asked. "Liz must've had help to install it and fly it out here. She used the guild and so they must know where it is" Cathline said. "And if the guild pay us a visit?" Robert said. Matthew made a throat slitting gesture. "So the choice we have is to destroy the system and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, stay here and hope the guild never come or bug out, leaving the system for the guild or anyone to find" Cathline said seriously. "If we choose the first then we're stuck like this but then this curse could never be inflicted on the rest of the world. If we stay here there's every chance we end up dead with our throat's slit and if we leave, then we stay as we are and the system could then fall into the wrong hands again. Hobson's choice huh?" said Matthew. "Yep" Cathline said. "Wait a sec, you mean to say that you want to stay like that!" Robert said. "I made the selfish choice once. I'm not going to do that again. Yes I dislike this body but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I'd helped unleash that infernal system on the world." Matthew said. "I suppose" Robert mused. "Listen We'll discuss other things and then vote on it at the end" Kat said. "Agreed. What's next?" Cathline said. "We've been bumming around on this island for a month now. What do we do now? Do we go back and try and live normal lives or what?" Robert asked. "I'm staying here. I can't really go back to normal life can I?" Kat said bitterly. "Actually I've managed to decode Liz's diaries on the system. They should be downloading now. I'd quite like to write all this up. I've got tons of stuff from Stephanie Lane's notes so it should make quite a story. Y'know record people's thoughts and stuff. It'd help Matthew's defense for when I turn him in and besides the world ought to know what really went on." Cathline said. "Excellent Idea. What about you Robert what are you going to do?" Matthew said. "Assuming we destroy the machine, go back home and try and patch things up with Mon. I take it you still want me to represent you?" Robert said. "Yes Please. I'm staying with Kat. She still needs me as much as I need her. I'm staying put for a while" Matthew said. "What about Dr Bexley's money. If you prove you're not the real Dr Bexley then you lose the 300 million." Cathline asked. "Not necessarily. The money can be used to compensate all those who have been affected by Dr Bexley's evil. I would suggest 10 million for all the families of the cops killed by the guild. About 30 million will do me nicely and Cathline how does 50 Million sound to you?" Robert said. "The money isn't going to make up for it" Cathline said. "I know. But in principal.." Robert said. "I'll settle for 50 million" Cathline said. "That leaves us with 120 million to play with. That should be more than enough" Kat said. "There's one other thing before we vote. I want to take the last Rachel Martin dose" Cathline said. "Why? We should destroy everything to do with this" Kat said. "I think, with some work I can use it to restore my eye. We may as well use the machine for good before we destroy it" Cathline said. "Sure, you deserve it. How'd you feel about being the most beautiful woman in the world" Matthew said. "It's a burden I feel I can bear. Besides imagine having Rachel Martin defending you in court" Cathline said. "So when are you going to take it?" Kat asked. "Not for a while yet. I want to start work on your tales and check the dose out first." Cathline said. "Let's vote. Who wants to destroy the machine thus keeping themselves in their present body for good?" Kat said. Cathline put her hand up right away. Matthew did the same."Oh well" he said Kat looked down at her furry body and swished her tail for a bit. Then at last she put her hand up."What the hell" She said. "Robert?" Cathline asked. "Promise me, this machine will never see the light of day again?" Robert said. "We promise" Cathline said. Slowly Robert put his hand up. "Motion carried. When do we destroy it?" Kat said. "Tomorrow" Cathline said. The next day the remnant went into the bunker and retrieved a Rachel Martin dose for Cathline and another, different dose as evidence. They powered off the system and then set to work dismantling the computer systems that was the heart of the machine. The components they couldn't de-install they smashed, the others they built up a large pile of hardware on the floor. After several hours work the system was completely wrecked. "What do we do with the processors and hard disks?" Matthew asked. "Open them up, smash the disks and then take the yacht out to the deepest part of the ocean and dump them." Kat suggested. "Let's do it" Matthew said. >From just above the surface Dr Elizabeth Bexley watched the remnant pack the yacht with bits of her machine. She hated being a mermaid, not ever being able to walk amongst people again, having to eat cold fish every day, not ever having the pleasure of shaving her legs and all the little things that people take for granted. "One day I'll be back" she vowed. Elizabeth was pleased that Kat had not escaped transformation as she saw the Kat creature walk down to the beach and collect another part of the DNA system. Kat looked up and nearly spotted Elizabeth. Discretion being the better part of valor Elizabeth flipped over the in water and with a flick of tail vanished beneath the waves.. 44. End + 6 months: Epilogue - Cathlines Tale. =============================================== I've just about finished writing things up now. It's taken ages to piece all the bits together and ensure all the plots and nuances are there. Still it should be ready in time for the trial. I've just finished a long walk alongside the shore. It really is beautiful here, Liz may have been evil but she had good taste in Islands. I don't know whether to tell Kat and Matthew that I'm almost ready to leave. Maybe in another day or so. My biggest problem is loneliness. Kat and Matthew are very much together and although I've offered a threesome a couple of times they just don't seem interested. It's not that they're deliberately shutting me out, they're not. It's just that I need some companionship now. When Kat and Matthew's first anniversary came up a few weeks ago I did take the yacht and visit another island for the evening, how I wish I had someone here to share this wonderful island with. I walk past a rock pool and look at my reflection in there. It's hard to imagine that a little under five months ago I was just plain old Cathline Richards, the girl who's eye had been burned out over a year ago now. The face looking back is that of the awesome beauty of Rachel Martin. I remember with glee feeling my body change and turning into the goddess I now am. When I opened up my left eye and could see again that was one of the most wondrous moments of my life. I cannot but think of the friends I'll leave behind when I go. No doubt I will be back but I suspect my work will take up an enormous amount of time. Still the friends I have made here will last me a lifetime. Better get back it's mine and Matthew's turn to cook lunch and Kat gets SO hungry these days. "Lot's of meat" so she says. 45. End + 32 Days Epilogue - His Tale. ====================================== I sit forlorn on the rocks near the jetty, just watching the ocean. I've been out here for an hour or so now, trying to get that elusive all over tan. I'll get used to being a woman, I've no doubt of that now. Even now my memory of being a man is fading. That's not to say I like being a copy of Elizabeth I don't. I just accept that's who I am now. The destruction of the machine yesterday sealed both mine and Kat's fate. Unlike when I refused Elizabeth's offer a year ago I know I've done the right thing. I've still got my appeal to attend and I'm dreading it. Robert is very,very good and seeing as we have some real proof this time we are in with a shot. Quite what will happen if we lose I don't know. Still the trial is several months away. I'm starting to get used to Kat being as she is now. Kat hides her feelings well but I know she wants to be back to normal as much I want to be a man again. Still we have the cards fate deals us. On the whole we are very happy together, it's just sometimes I wish things had worked out as they should have done. 46. End + 1 year: Epilogue Christine Adam's Tale. ================================================= Just like when the shuttle blew up or when the first OJ verdict was announced ,everyone remembers where they were during the second Bexley trial. I was at home with the kids and they had been playing me up rotten. I had been following the trial for a couple of months and was still sceptical of the defense. A pretty blonde(who was supposed be Robert Abbey) was mounting the defense and the prosecution seemed to be ripping her to shreds. What made it all the more puzzling was that Rachel Martin was there speaking for the defense. She claimed her name was really Cathline Richards and she had taken the form of Rachel Martin in order to restore her left eye. The first shock came when the defense called in Jane Stephens. Now I'd followed the first Bexley case pretty closely(she worked in my home town) and remember seeing pictures of Jane Stephens. A stunned silence went across the courtroom and indeed most of the country as a tall athletic 'woman' walked in. I say 'woman' because she seemed to be part tiger, part woman. She had a woman's shape but had feline features. She was covered all over in orange and black striped fur and had a long furry tail. She stood proud and aloof in the dock and gave her name as 'Kat'. Several members of the jury fainted and the trial was adjourned almost immediately. This 'Kat' gave testimony on how a ragtag group of the real Dr Bexley's victims overcame Dr Bexley and prevented the spread of her horrific DNA altering technology. Until Jane Stephens aka 'Kat' walked in the tale was of pure fantasy now it was reality and it gripped the entire nation. The trial continued over the next few weeks as doctors confirmed that 'Kat' was really like that at a genetic level. The final proof came with the screening of what the papers called the 'world's luckiest transsexual' . The images of a man slowly turning into a body double of the old Jane Stephens wowed an already hooked country. With such strong evidence the prosecution's case collapsed and Matthew Stephen's appeal on the grounds of self defense and acting in the best interests of the US was upheld. Reportedly a presidential pardon was on the card's if the appeal failed but that can never be proved. Furthermore the money from the Bexley estate was to be shared out to all those who's lives had been destroyed by Dr Bexley's evil. My viewing was interrupted by my youngest, James screaming that he'd just spilt his milk all over the bathroom carpet. Never mind I'll catch it later on the news. 47. End + 2 Months: Epilogue - The Lawyers Tale. ================================================ I sit on the plane back to the US and take stock of where I am now. I've now resigned myself to being Jennifer Porter forever.I can't say I like it but compared to what could have happened I think I've done ok. I do feel as though I wasn't part of the 'in' crowd like Kat and Cathline were but I'm proud to have done my part in stopping Dr Bexley. In some ways it has been fun and I'll never forget the experiences we've had here. I spoke to Monica on the phone a few weeks back and she's happy to see that I'm alive and the story of how we dealt with Dr Bexley had her enthralled. She was, however much less happy to hear that I'm still a woman. She's finding it very difficult to get to grips with this but said we'll talk more when I get back. Which should be in about three hours time. I wonder how she will react to my news. Oh well time for some sleep. I land at JFK and walk down the same corridor that John did so long ago. In my mind I can see Matthew waiting in the lounge, spotting John, giving chase and then finally shooting him. So much has happened since then. I look up and see Monica waving at me and I run up and hug her. "I've missed you" I said. "You to. I've booked us in at a holiday inn. You must be exhausted so let me drive." She said. "Mon, I'm sorry for running off" I said. "We'll talk tomorrow, you rest" I don't really remember the journey to the hotel I just remember waking up the next day. I reached over to see if Monica was there but she was sleeping in a separate bed. I just went back to sleep again. "Hello sleepy head" Monica said when I awoke. "What time is it?" "About 11am. I got you some breakfast" Monica said and handed me a tray. "Thanks" I sat up and started to tuck into my toast. "I've had a lot of time to think when you've been away" Monica said. My heart froze. What was she going to say. "And?" I replied. "I still love you but I don't see myself sleeping with you. I've tried to look at a woman and think 'she's cute' or 'nice ass' but it doesn't do anything for me. I know sex isn't the be all and end all of a marriage but it IS important. I want to stay with you but I won't sleep with you. I'm sorry the thought of being with another woman, even if she is my husband turns me off" Monica said sadly. "I know and strangely enough I agree with you. Part of me does still fancy women but somehow it doesn't feel right, well at least for me. When I was on the island Cathline offered to teach me how to make love to a woman, as a woman but as soon as she started to stroke my breast I just went cold. We had to stop there and then. It was then I decided that if I was to be a woman I needed practice as a woman and that includes going out on dates with men. I guess it's an individual thing. Matthew Stephens is quite happy to make love to 'Kat' , I mean Jane Stephens and that's his thing, well mine is that I want to see what it's like with a man" I said. "So where does that leave us?" Monica said. "Dunno. I still love you. Maybe we can share our house and the rest of our lives but not our bed. Double date some cute law students maybe?" I said. "I guess" Monica said sadly, tears forming in her eyes. "Hey don't cry we'll work this out" I said and put my arms around her. 48 End +1 Year: Epilogue Steve's Tale. ====================================== I've missed working with Stephanie Lane. Dean's asked me if I wanted to move into reporting rather than just camera work. I accepted about five months ago and I've enjoyed it immensely. In fact just after the second Bexley trial I met Robert Abbey. Well, we hit it off right away and it's taken me three weeks to get up enough courage to ask him/her out. Tonight will be our first date. I'm so nervous waiting for Robert to turn up. I've realised why I wasn't attracted to women before. It's not that I'm gay it's that I just don't like women. Sure I like their bodies but not the way they carry on. How does the song line go 'Why can't a woman be more like a man'.It may seem strange to other people but not me.I want a man for a companion, with a woman's body for the other times. Robert fits the bill perfectly. Fuck he's here already. I hope I look ok. 49 End + 18 Months: Epilogue Dean's Tale. ========================================= We still miss Stephanie Lane around here. I realise I was a pain to her and teased her all the time, but she was the best reporter I had. Matthew Stephens and Rachel Martin dropped 'Kitty Liz' off for me to look after. I take it as an honor to do so. I hope Stephanie will be happy in my house.I've made her a special box and everything. Stephanie played no small part in the defeat of Dr Bexley's plans.From a personal point of view I'm pleased that this station played it's part in stopping a horrific proliferation of Genetic engineering. There was a knock at the door. "Hi, Steve come in" I called. "Quick look at this" He said and switched on the TV in my office. As 'hail to the chief' ended the president appeared on screen. "Are we getting this?" I said. "Yep. The whole country is watching" Steve said. The president started to talk. "Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you for taking the time out to listen to me. You will all remember the result of the Bexley trial some four months ago. The evil that a single, twisted woman had wrought upon so many shocked this entire country and many around the world. The lawyer in that case, Robert Abbey argued that unless stopped the Bexley affair was only a small taste of things to come. He spoke of entire armies of genetically enhanced 'supermen' programmed to fight against normal human beings, of criminals being able to change face to avoid detection thus giving the authorities no chance to apprehend them. This nightmare scenario represents the greatest threat to the human race since the development of atomic weapons. We must not make the same mistakes again." The president drew breath, as if about to say something monumental. "Fucking Hell" I said. The president continued. "Since all records of this device have been destroyed we have been given a breathing space. We have to act now to prevent this nightmare from happening. So in response to this threat, the US put forward a proposal to the United Nations. This proposal said that all records and materials pertaining to the human genome project be destroyed immediately. Further more the use of modified humans against any nation will be classed as using a weapon of mass destruction and will be met with in kind. The possession of Human Genome materials or records by any individual in any nation will be met by a swift and immediate response by NATO and other alliances around the world. This resolution has been unanimously passed and a target date of the end of the year for destruction of said materials has been set. " The president paused and then went on. "This ruling is now known as the 'fury directive'. I will update you later when the 'fury directive' has been implemented by my government. Thank you for your time" The president ended and the screen went back to it's normal program. "That sounds extreme" Steve said. "I don't think so. It sounded extreme because it IS an extreme situation. He did what needed to be done. Listen I want you to get on this now " I said. "One more thing" Steve asked. "And that is?" Why doesn't anyone do things right away, Stephanie was just the same. "Robert's divorce has come thru. How'd you fancy coming to my wedding next year?" Steve said. "You and Robert Abbey huh?" I said, amazed. "Yep. Actually it's Robin now. Him and Monica thought that divorce was for the best and now that over it's left us free to marry" Steve said, a grin all over his face. "I'd love to come. Now get on NOW" I called. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have You Missed a Part?.
