James continued to think. If you know where you want to be... ok. Under what circumstances would my crew agree to this? Um... if all of them were sleeping with V too. Which is going to have to happen if they want children. And this line of thinking is making me hard again but not saving humanity. Remember that? After everyone is awake, find one of your women, probably Jo, and screw her brains out. But in the mean time, try thinking with the other head. OK, what did we learn? That it's hard to think around V but we already knew that, that's why we rethink all this when she's not around. And... V just talked me out of the entire 'save humanity' plan as part of agreeing to it. No... not quite. She's right about other communities. That's going to require serious thinking and serious planning, both by people smarter than me. Fine. As for this community... V is willing to zap people. It takes sex. She's unwilling to go public and take responsibility and/or organize this. She wants people to come to her but she's not willing to tell anyone that she can do this. So, we're still dealing with Jennifer's issues about taking responsibility. Big shock there. OK. Fine. No problem. Nashwa has already started the ball rolling. Questions are already starting... Who is the biggest gossip in this place? Irina would know.

Not trusting himself to speak, or even think, James turned and walked out of the room. It was cold shower time. A few minutes later, with cold cavern water washing over his clothed form, he trusted himself to think again. Nuts that a guy with four wives was sexually frustrated. So, did he need a fifth wife? ...A fifth wife? Why not come out and say, did he want V back? Want? Yes. Willing to tolerate his wife with other men? Hell no. And that was over and above what his other women would think. And there was what V wanted (clearly not that), and that them-together was a total disaster last time. And all of this self awareness CRAP was besides the point. If he had her all to himself then humanity went under. Ergo V couldn't be his. Not now, not tomorrow, not 'some-day', not ever. And he still wanted her. Dam it. Even if she wasn't his? ...now there was a head twist of a question. Friends with benefits? Fuck friends? That... was wrong. Before... back in high school... Before he wasn't dealing with a super who could control her fertility and who could take care of herself. Somehow "take care of herself" did NOT fit well in the same sentence as "her" and before he wasn't married. So... what he needed was to screw his ex-girlfriend occasionally, without his wives leaving him or his needing to kill V's other boyfriends. Sure. No problem or potential for problems there. Nothing easier. ... ... ...maybe

I think you meant to say "grooming to go into law" ... or at least I hope you do. I shudder to think of the result of a Eugenics program designed to result in a lawyer!!
