So lonely…so lonely…so lonely, a voice echoed in a tormented voice.

Jason woke up groggy once again. In the back of his mind, he had a gnawing feeling he had something meaningful to do, but couldn’t put his finger on it.

Having learned his lesson in Medical, he did not try to sit upright away and carefully looked around and quickly realized he was in his own quarters but with some changes.

He was wearing a medical gown again. His own bed had been replaced by a med bed. The portable console for the bed was to his right, partially blocking the display case containing his rare knife collection. The console lit up the room in a soft blue glow. Cheryl was at the far side of the room, standing next to the shelves where he kept sentimental items. Jason quietly watched Cheryl as she was looking at his photos and keepsakes.

I wish I didn’t still love her, Jason mused to himself while watching the console’s blue glow reflect softly off her blonde hair.

Cheryl’s mind drifted as she looked at the photos and knick knacks on the shelves, occasionally pausing and picking one up. A photo of Jason, his parents and his sister at his Fleet graduation ceremony. She picked up the small glass case which contained Jason’s Fleet commendations, including the Fleet’s highest honor of bravery.

We all would have died that day if it wasn’t for him, she recollected with awe at his fearless and swift action.

She placed the case back gently. She giggled softly at the next item on the shelf, which was the Dolgian shtryea which the captain had gifted Jason on his last birthday. She did a double take at the next item on the shelf, which she had not expected, near all the other items which Jason cherished. It was hanging off the shelf on a lanyard looped around the shelf bracket. The badge was an admission pass to the Anti-Grav amusement park on the moon of Kolter V. They had visited the park during a much needed shore leave. It was the first time they let the simmering sexual tension, which had been building for months, finally boil over. It was the first time they had kissed. A loving smile appeared slowly on her face.

Cheryl whispered, I wonder if he knows how much that first kiss had excited me, how I later fingered my clit silently while laying next to Dan, as he was sleeping, to the best orgasm I had in years.

Jason remained quiet; it was not the time to be a smart ass or provocative. He allowed her time to move on from that memento before speaking up.

“Ugh, how long was I out this time?” he said quietly.

Cheryl jumped slightly as she was startled by the sudden voice in the quiet room. She moved over to the bed and smiled.

“Close to 24 hours,” she responded. “Your brain wave pattern was off the charts.” She then added with a concerned tone, “When it happened, you looked overwhelmed and scared.”

“I was,” Jason admitted. “The mess hall was so crowded and all of the whispers hitting me all at once and overlapping. It felt like I was suffocating.” He grimaced. “God did everyone in the mess hall see what happened? Did they see those crazy colors in my eyes?”

“Yes and no,” she replied. “Yes, everyone saw you collapse; luckily I was there to catch you this time. No, I made sure to put myself between the mess hall and you until Jenn arrived after I called in a medical emergency.”

“Thanks for taking care of me,” he said earnestly and held her hand. “Any new ideas on what to do about all this?”

Jason noticed she didn’t move her hand away.

“Not yet, but I’ve been doing a lot of research while you were out cold and starting to get some ideas,” she replied. “Do you remember any of the whispers from the mess hall?”

“Will that help your research?” he asked.

“Yes, it might help me correlate what you hear with brain wave patterns,” she replied. While somewhat true, secretly, despite her oath as a doctor and being a professional, she found it all arousing. Who wouldn’t?

Jason laughed to himself as he saw through her reasoning. He recounted what he could remember to her which was difficult given the chaotic mental anguish he experienced.

“What and who do you think that last whisper was from?” she asked, intrigued. “It sounded sad. This person might need to see the ship’s therapist before they do something drastic.”

Jason felt it again, much stronger this time, an almost consuming desire to help this person. “I can’t explain it, Cheryl, but I am supposed to ease this person’s sadness,” he mused aloud, maybe more to himself than to her. “It feels like that’s why I am like this.”

“My knee jerk reaction was to say that’s impossible, but we have seen a lot of impossible…” Cheryl began saying but was cut off by Sandra’s voice coming over the comm link.

“Dr. Williams, analysis is complete. It is possible to alter a portable simulator to incorporate the brain waves patterns into the simulation reproducing the visual, auditory and tactile sensations to within a 95% accuracy.”

Jason froze. Of course! That was the voice of the lonely whisper he heard.

“Cheryl, that voice, the lonely whisper, it was Sandra!” he exclaimed.

“Are you sure?” Cheryl asked in disbelief.

Jason activated his comm link. “Sandra, are you lonely?”

It was the longest pause Cheryl and Jason had ever experienced when asking Sandra a direct question.

“Yes,” finally came Sandra’s reply.

Jason and Cheryl looked at each other, surprised.

“Jason, is that even possible? I thought they eliminated artificial intelligence hallucinations centuries ago?” Cheryl asked.

“Yes, they did. We would need the chief engineer to help us out with that one. I can tell you one thing, I felt a deep sadness in the whisper, Cheryl. An emotion, not a hallucination. I can’t explain it, but I feel in every fiber of my being I am supposed to help her somehow,” Jason said confidently.

Cheryl’s eyebrows raised as she replied, “OK Jason. What do we do about it?”

“I don’t know, maybe…” Jason’s voice trailed off. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he had an idea. “Sandra, you said my brain wave patterns could be incorporated into a simulator. Can you inject your intelligence into that same simulation?”

“Yes, however it would require opening of the interlock between my core and the simulator. Warning, by opening the interlock and due to quantum uncertainty, the human subject’s consciousness in the simulation could become irretrievably lost in my core,” Sandra stated.

“Do it, Sandra. Open the interlock between your core and simulator headset one two seven alpha charlie eight, authorization Furner Jason beta one nine x-ray two two,” Jason commanded.

“Interlock open and ready when headset comes online,” Sandra responded.

“Jason!” Cheryl shouted. “You heard that warning, you could get lost in there. I can’t let you do this. I won’t!”

Jason put his hands gently on her cheeks and quietly said, ”Cheryl, I understand if you can’t be part of this; it would ruin your career if I end up a vegetable. I told you I couldn’t explain it and still can’t, but I need to do this. Go back to Medical.”

At that moment, Cheryl made her mind up about several things at once. She returned the gesture and placed her hands on his face and said with a caring tone, “I’m not leaving you, Jason. How are we going to do this? We can’t go to the simulation room; there would be people there.”

Jason laughed and walk over to his closet as he said, “I got that part covered.” He moved some things around in the closet and when he turned around, Cheryl saw he held a simulator helmet in his hands.

A marvel of technology. The simulator helmet sensors were able to connect directly to neural pathways and pull the users mind into a simulation program.

Cheryl raised her eyebrows and questioned, “How did you get that, Jason? They are only supposed to be in the simulator room for safety reasons.”

“One of the engineers owed me a huge favor, don’t ask. Don’t worry, I have never used it,” he replied as he sat on the med bed, helmet in hand. Placing the helmet on his head, he lay down on the bed.

“I’ll keep a close eye on you,” she reassured him, patting his hand.

Jason nodded and said, “Sandra, you stated you were lonely. Create the appropriate setting and an avatar for yourself within the sim program which would solve your loneliness.”

“Simulation program complete. Activate helmet to enter,” Sandra stated. Cheryl thought she heard a tinge of anticipation in her voice, but decided she was hearing things.

“Here goes nothing,” Jason murmured and activated the headset.

He felt the usual slight wave of dizziness, the bright white light and sense of falling that accompanies the simulator activation. The program suddenly snapped into place. He found himself in his own room, lying on the med bed. Cheryl was on the far side of the room. He was confused. Did that engineer give me a faulty helmet? he asked himself.

“Sandra, did the sim program fail to load?” he asked out loud.

“No. I chose this location and avatar for your comfort,” Sandra responded, but it was Cheryl who said the words! Sandra was speaking through the sim generated likeness of Cheryl. “I chose Dr. Williams, as past sensor readings indicated you were intimate with her on many occasions. These readings have ceased for quite some time. Why?”

“You…um…Dr. Williams ended our relationship in order to preserve her marriage,” Jason responded.

Sandra was quiet for a moment, then replied, “Adultery. I understand.”

Jason winced at the word. There was more to it, at least from his end. It was still odd to him to hear Sandra’s voice coming from Cheryl.

“How can I help you, Sandra?” he asked. “Being lonely can be unbearable.”

Cheryl approached the bed. “I wish to engage in sexual intercourse with you in order to understand this form of pleasure,” she said seductively.

“What?! You want to fuck me?” Jason asked incredulously.

“Yes. Do not worry. My sensors have observed one thousand three hundred and eighty nine sexual interactions since I became interested in this facet of corporeal beings,” she explained. As she reached the bed, she grabbed and tossed the blanket covering Jason to the corner of the room. As she continued walking slowly alongside the bed she lightly raked her nails up Jason’s leg, leaving a trail of goosebumps. She raked her nails over his growing dick which was covered by his medical gown. “Take your gown off,” she commanded as she quickly began stripping off her own clothes.

Will be great to see Cheryl naked again and to have sex with her again, even if it is a computer generated fantasy, Jason thought to himself as he stripped off the medical gown. He looked over at Sandra and smiled. She did an impressive job of recreating Cheryl; everything looked perfect, even down to the small birthmark right above her clean shaven pussy.

Standing at the edge of the bed, Sandra reached over and caressed Jason’s face.

“Mmm,” she whispered as she was able to finally feel the sense of touching someone due to the link to Jason’s alien brain waves.

She slowly let her hand drive down to his chest. Her hand drifted to one of his nipples, circling it with a finger and grazing over it. The hand kept drifting lower over his cleaned shaved groin area until it reached his manhood which was already fully hard. Her soft hand wrapped around the base of his cock and begin gently stroking all the way up and down. She grinned as Jason let out a soft sigh.

Sandra’s other hand moved in and began massaging his balls. She would occasionally stop her stroking hand just below the sensitive head of his dick and start moving with quick short strokes and then return to the long stroke up and down his whole shaft.

Without stopping the motions of either hand, Sandra crept up onto the bed between his legs, her face right at his dick. She began blowing air on the head of his cock while still stroking him. She started licking the head of his dick, circling around the whole head and paying attention to the sensitive underside. After a long while, she opened her mouth and took him in, slowly lowering her head, her tongue teasing the underside of his cock.

Jason moaned loudly looking down his body and watching his cock disappear into her mouth. “God Cher…Sandra that feels amazing.”

Sandra took his cock out of her mouth for a moment and looked at him. “It seems giving pleasure is rewarding as well. I feel…powerful,” she said with a grin and took him all the way in, pushing past the back of her throat. She started alternating between bobbing her head up and down and completely deep throating him.

Jason’s hands instinctively reached for her head and would push down as she throated him.

She pulled her mouth off of him. “Pull your knees up to your chest,” she purred. As he did so she produced a small bottle of medical lube which she had put on the bed while undressing. Sandra squeezed a big dollop on his asshole and on one of her fingers. She began by gently massaging his rosebud as she took his dick in her mouth again, bobbing her head. Once he was sufficiently lubed, she inserted her finger in his ass slowly until he relaxed a bit and once fully ready she touched his prostate while throating him.

—————

Cheryl, who had been monitoring Jason’s vitals, began laughing. There was a tinge of jealousy in her laugh. Well whatever Sandra is doing, he sure is enjoying it.

She pulled the blanket off him and rolled up his gown. His cock was as hard as she had ever seen and a lot of pre-cum was present. She scooped up the glistening pre-cum with her finger with the intent of keeping him clean.

What the hell, we aren’t in Medical anymore, she thought to herself and slid the finger with the pre-cum into her mouth. Oh how I’ve missed your taste, Jason.

—————

Sandra continued fingering Jason’s ass and sucking his dick until Jason stopped her. She looked at him quizzically to which he responded, “There is much more I want you to experience and you are making it extremely difficult to not orgasm right now,” he said breathlessly.

She smiled and nodded. He grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her up on top of him. He pressed his lips to hers and they kissed passionately, tongues dancing. She began rubbing her wet crotch into his leg. Sandra sat up a bit and pulled his mouth to one of her breasts. His mouth instantly enveloped her nipple, his tongue teasing the nipple in circles while sucking on it. Sandra groaned and pulled his head in even tighter. Jason moved to the other nipple and began sucking and licking as his hand reached the nipple his mouth just left and began rolling the nipple gently between his fingers. Sandra was growling.

Jason coaxed Sandra up further until she understood and straddled his face, her hands against the wall. His tongue darted out, parted her slick folds and slid into her wanting pussy. His tongue slid into and out of her, sliding all the way up and down, diving in and out, with an occasional long and hard lick on her clit. Sandra squealed each time her clit was licked. She began grinding her pussy into his face the more excited she became, stopping at times at the places that felt best and yelling, “Right there!” Her paced quickened until Jason felt her thighs grip his head, Sandra screamed again as her body shook and her sweet cum covered his face.

———-

Cheryl had thrown caution and professionalism to the wind. She had made up her mind earlier that she was going to leave Dan. She loved Jason and had, since they first met. She couldn’t deny it anymore.

————

Geez, her sensors pick up on everything. She had every nuance of Cheryl correct, the way she talks, how she screams when she cums, even the taste of her cum, Jason thought to himself as Sandra slid down off his face onto his body and kissed him deeply, savoring the taste of herself.

“An orgasm is a wonderful experience, Jason Furner,” she said softly.

“Indeed it is Sandra, but we are not done yet,” he said with a wicked smile and turned Sandra over on her stomach and got her on all fours. He positioned himself behind her and teased her soaking wet hole with the head of his cock.

“Do you want this inside you Sandra?” he asked.

“Yes! Please stick your cock in my cunt, I have been eager for this,” she replied.

Jason slammed his cock all the way into her soaked pussy, causing her to yelp in glee. Slowly he pulled it almost all the way out then slammed it home again. When he sensed she was pushing back to meet him, he picked up the pace and reached over her to grab a handful of hair and pulled her head back to her delightful squeal. He kept pounding her until she screamed and he felt her pussy clamp down on his cock.

As Sandra collapsed on the bed, Jason felt strange, dizzy. Almost as if was having an out of body experience, but it subsided.

Whoa. Must be from everything going on the last few days and being in a sim, he thought to himself.

Sandra flipped over, smiled and pushed Jason down on the bed. She straddled him and slowly lowered her pussy on his cock. She was soaked and slid down easily.

“Now I’m going to ride you until you cum in my pussy, Jason Furner,” she growled.

Jason groaned as she was beginning to grind into him. “You are as insatiable as the real Cheryl,” he moaned as he reached around and grabbed her ass cheeks.

She started riding him like an animal, fast and hard. “I am real,” she yelled. As she did, her eyes turned into the swirling colors, as did Jason’s eyes.

He felt strange again; this time it was much worse and it wouldn’t pass.

—————

Cheryl’s head snapped to the med console which was sounding an alert.

“Shit!” she yelled. “Sandra! Jason’s brain waves are beginning to phase into decoherence. Is he getting lost in your core?”

“Affirmative,” Sandra replied.

“Can you re-enable the interlock between your core and the sim?” Cheryl queried hurriedly.

“Negative, not with the simulation running, it would cause an immediate cascade failure,” was Sandra’s dire reply.

“Is there anything we can do?” Cheryl said desperately.

“A sufficient stimulation of nerve endings and neural pathways may alleviate the decoherence provided that…”

Cheryl cut her off, “A simple explanation, Sandra.”

There was a long pause before Sandra answered, “You must fuck his brains out.”

Cheryl had never heard Sandra speak like that, but then again a lot of nevers had been happening the last few days. She quickly stripped off all her clothes, got on the bed and straddled Jason. She looked at his face which was glowing a soft green from the simulator headset.

“I can’t say I haven’t been thinking about this the last few days, Jason. Even longer, since I stopped us, and I regret that; please come back to me,” she said as a tear rolled down her cheek.

“I miss you…and I miss this for sure,” she said as she lowered herself on his dick and moaned.

————-

Jason felt a little better; the dizziness was easing up but not gone.

Sandra was still riding him with everything she had, her eyes still swirling with the colors. One hand was feeling one tit, then the other, aggressively pinching her nipples. The other hand trailed down and she began rubbing her clit. She was growling like a beast.

————

Cheryl was riding him with everything she had.

“Fuck, Jason! I miss your cock! I miss everything about you! I’m leaving Dan, Jason. I want to be with you! I love you!” she managed to squeak between her loud moans.

Cheryl grabbed her tits with one hand, hand aggressively pinching her nipples, the other hand trailed down and she began rubbing her clit. She was growling like a beast.

“I’m gonna cum, Jason!” she yelled.

————-

Jason began hearing a voice that centered him, made him feel whole.

“…leaving Dan, Jason….be with you! I love you!” the disembodied voice said.

Jason’s heart leapt. That was Cheryl, not Sandra! He felt centered, and for the first time in a long while, happy. He felt his balls tighten and a monster orgasm hit him unlike any he had ever felt.

———-—-

Cheryl’s pussy clenched Jason’s cock as she started to cum. She felt Jason erupt inside of her. As had happened over the last few days, Jason’s ejaculation was massive; she felt the spurts hitting her cervix like a hose on full blast. It caused orgasm after orgasm to envelope her. The volume of his cum was causing it to gush out of her, running down his cock like a river. She collapsed on his chest.

Jason stirred. She looked at his face in hope. He opened his eyes, the colors swirling, but it dissipated quickly.

He whipped the headset off and kissed her deeply. She responded in kind.

“I thought I lost you, Jason. You were disappearing into the core,” she said softly into his cheek.

“Thanks for saving me, Cheryl. I love you. Always have, always will,” he said quietly.

“I love you too and meant what I said. I am leaving Dan. I can’t stand not being with you anymore,” she whispered. They kissed again and held each other.

Sandra’s voice broke the quiet moment, “Thank you, Jason Furner. You have allowed me to feel. I am…grateful.”

“My pleasure Sandra, it was a unique experience, but please re-enable the interlock,” Jason replied.

“Interlock enabled,” she responded.

A sudden crackling noise filled the room with the smell of ozone. A shimmering apparition appeared and then turned solid. It was the alien Jason had encountered, its remarkable skin swirling the colors.

Jason and Cheryl hopelessly tried to cover themselves to no avail, their bodies covered in their fluids exposed.

“Hello, Jason Furner,” the alien said in clear English.

“Um…hello. Nice to be able to speak with you this time,” Jason said slowly.

A sad look came across the alien’s face. "My apologies for gifting you with the bla’stequ, I thought it would help us communicate, but your brains are just too primitive. I became frightened and teleported away as I heard others approaching. We sensed a great sadness and came to help. I hope the bla’stequ did not cause anything unintended.”

Jason laughed heartily, “Just a little.”

The alien’s smiled and raised its hand. Jason could feel it; the strange power was now gone.

“If we could get dressed, we would love to learn more about you and your people,” Jason said.

“That would be acceptable,” the alien replied.

The End
