Till is right . Do not trust the protector. He iss not acting like his reputation. He could use the Raptor to take offensive action if he felt it was the right thing to do. Bzup will learn from him if he acts hostile. Can Bzup defend himself from the protector ? He might be able to use sound as a weapon.

I am suspicious of the visitors, still. Their open and eventually encouraging attitude could be a cover to get the ship to find the aliens. They know the crew believes in Bzup so they have to practice misdirection to get what they really want--to kill the aliens. Kim who is staying separate on the armed Raptor can destroy the aliens when given the approval by higher headquarters no mater what the other visitors say. A war could be started.

I got the impression that the new project will be cathartic for Greg. He will not be exploited like in his painful past , but will join in new sets with Len and get money finally. The money will set up their business plan like the have dreamed about. . Mr Heyward has his goals and ideas, but Len and Greg will get what they want. One can always wonder if Heyward will try something new or stresssful, though. Dan and Vaughn should not worry about their facilitator role. In the end, Len and Greg were willing to participate and showed they were more of a couple and that is very good.

So much has been learned over the past day-But for now, it is important that the Master says that Bzup is a visiting alien. If the visitors f disagree, they will find that they are not in charge and over ruled. The visitors could either accept the Master's opinion and learn from Bzup or be sidelined and cause a painful confrontation. We will see what happens soon----

Well, the secret not exposed on comms was that his dad was joining him and others for the important mess on the ship. We once again learned about Marc's extensive training plans and hopes. The real excitement happened on the shuttle trip taking his dad to his next assignment and finding enemies ships threatening a company ship, Marc and his dad used the shuttle's new capabilities to disrupt the enemy and its missles. In the end, Marc and his dad were safe and victorious, Hooray! Wojak was unsettled by Marc when he was directed to fly the shuttle, Apparently, Marc knows about his "issues", but what issues? Wojak does silently lust after Marc and Wojak hopes he does not know that. Now, Wojak will see Marc tonight . Will he talk to him and try to get closer?

George had another successful voyage and mission without any errors or disasters. The Royal family is happy and his lady friend is well accepted. Calvert even helped William see the merit in Carmella. George and Calvert also had productive talks. Calvert saw Caroline's hands in his and George's problems. He feels she has lost as things turned out and she is worth being observed and not confronted. They do no need now to fear her---at this time. Things are looking up. I think George and his friends deserve this good fortune while the country is at peace. He can happily attend to family and related matters and put his house in order. I expect he will no be held back by anyone at the Admiralty. I bet he can expect a command and sea duty when war begins again,

This story about Ricky Albert as a new resident in New Youk City has a lots of promise. He is on his owm now and wants to move beyond his successful boy band role to become a respected adult performer. So far, he has kept his past successful singing role hidden. Along the way he could meet some good people and some very bad people. Following his adventures will be interesting.

A new set of possibilities has opened up by Bzups reactions, interests and new capabilities. Creating an eye so he can see increases the possibilities of much better communication and understanding. Jem and others need to learn as much as possible and maybe prepare Bzup for visitors. The crew needs to keep an open mind about the role Bzup plays. What the aliens want and the role Bzup is playing are not known. Is he a friend or foe ?

Interesting description of Marc's serious training experiences and his expected role in the future running the family's major corporation. He is on track to lead with capabiltes few will have. We see him take three trainees through a course and impress them even though he is younger than them. One, trainee, Janek, has the hots for him but considers him out of his class and reach. Unexpectedly, the shuttle is told to arrive at the ship commanded by his sister to get lunch and to top up his stores. Something is up and she did not want to tell him over the air. What is going on?

These two might need a guardian angel in the form of a surprise outside advocate who is searching for them. Marta and her boss(?) are not expecting anyone to try to save or free Josel and Zdain.Right now, they are facing imprisonment an death unless ???

Well, Andrew finished his book and finished his book tour. Now, he intends to write a story set in Costa Rico, a lovely place to live, instead of another book in his popular fiction series. His writing life is as moving on to new things as is his poor love life. His core remain his family and housekeeper. He is missing a real , loving partner and maybe hs writing would focus and improve if his love life blossomed. Ahmet and Matt are in deep trouble. They have been sexual partners and feel for each other. Matt found an intimacy missing with his sex with the owner. The owner, Kanaan, left for a while and they connected in Matt's room. But, the Captain was not happy he could not find Ahmet and the owner realized Ahmet was lying to him when the talked upon his return. He will be closely watching. As Matt worried, others will turn them in if they are caught. The owner will not be forgiving , if he feels betrayed.

No longer guests, the two are made prisoner in a small cell in the rat infested celar. Marta is not what she appeared to be. She is holding them for use by an unnamed female until they will be killed. Is the female the former desired date by Josel who is now in the towm Maybe, more will be revealed in the morning. Could the sttench in the cellar be a dead body? We learned more about Zdain and he does not fit the image Josel has of him. He was the opposite to Josel. He is a loner and not regarded highly by his parents. His older brother, now away in the Army, was considerd better, brighter and friendlier. Zdain paled in ncomparison to him in his parents' eyes. Josel always had friends around him.

Jem and crew see wonderful progress and growth in Bzup. Growing fingers and possibly eyes are astounding. The master and crew consider Bzup a friendly alien. But, I can expect the new capabilities of Bzup might be seen as something to be be feared and he might be seen as a more powerful enemy by the visitors. They might want to study him and get him to shore where he can be cut up. But first conflict on the ship could take place.

Did Will provoke a firestorm this evening before the big reveal by exciting JJ? “Just remember not to be a self-absorbed asshole tomorrow. Try to help him out.” “Leave,” he commanded, so I did." Will JJ remain calm and decide to consider what would be good for Kris? Can JJ keep quiet or might he tell Kris now ? The reveal could be forced out tonight and not Sunday. This is a real test for JJ.

Please do not put anything in writing to Maria. Could she get litigious.She is unsettled for now and confirming anything in writing could set her off or grow grudges, The boys are agreeing to be partners and actively are seeking to broaden their experiences and tastes . They tried and like opera and want to go back. Their range of food choices is growing. They are not "fuddy duddys."

What a risky, enlightening experiment. Bzup was released and seemed to release a long sound message into the sea. Interestingly, he went insidr ate fish and willingly moved to again reside into his tank or home. We will find out in due course if some thing responds to Bzup--another biologic drone or even an alien controller? This first contact with humans has been harmless so Bzup and his boss might not be concerned. However, I suspect the official human visitors will be appalled the freedom Bzup has and might assume he is a threat. The visitors could upset the peace and scare everyone. Things might be contentious if and when a new alien visitor appears.

Will and Brad had a serious, useful, open and enlightening conversations. Will was impressed with Brad's newly revealed motivations. Plus, he explained clearly why he needed to go to Harvard--to become his own man. He and Travis are anchored in love with each other and can give each other room to grow. They are both taking risks. The next 4 years will be challenging for them But, right now the next day will be challenging and likely shocking for Kris. He is going to be tested. Can JJ step up and help Kris rebound? Kris is going to find, I bet, he has a new extended family that be there for him.

I agree with Al Norris. Bzup is an AI creature. He seems benevolent and is not acting hostile. Is he sending back sound data to whomever is controlling him? Jem and the crew are considering his rights under the Compact. I guess we can consider the official arriving to be at odds with the crew. They may suppose Bzup is hostile and want to see how to kill him. His alien controllers might well object to any mistreatment. The aliens may have much more powerful weapons than the colonists, I hope the officials do not provoke a war.

I appreciate the detailed explanation of Marc's training, testing and family life. You are creating an interesting world. He has done so much and have serious goals and he is not yet 14! I want to see how this story unfolds.

Emmett remained safe. What a horrible trauma wascaused by a tainted Dex. Finley was the hero and saved Emmett, He promised to continue protecting Emmett. Emmett returned home and had a meltdown. His recent pressures brought him down . What is next?,

Wow--Gills found a naked, very handsome man in his bed. But he started out as a strange object from the sky. Now, he shocked Gills. They barely spoke and the tattooed man needed to sleep. Logan barely knew what was happening, He was very surprised he was nice to Gills at work. He used to hate him. Tonight he felt something strange was overtaking and possessing him. Does he want who or what Gills captured at night? Logan is so confused.

I am worried that Jamie.s nemisis is going to up the pressure and increase his cockblocking. But, are there not guys on campus or nearby who just want sex and one night stands? Jamie may have to go where no one reads the Xpress, I think. Oh, the weays to discredit further Jamie are many. Jamie could be followed and more stories could result. Fake news about him being seen at the campus clinic for STD meds could be printed or just posted inline. With the advent of AI and Jamie's web shows, he could be simulated creatively on line or mentioned in gossip columns as enjoying crazy, kinky or BDSM scenes like jacking naked using toys in a classroom, being naked tied up and handcuffed with a speader bar, being sucked off at a campus glory hole or adult movie type theater, etc. The guys who would pursue Jamie now could really bother him.

Oh kbois--You are so cruel to mention a laptop in a 55 chevy. Let us not going chasing a thread unless you think it will really end up as relevant. I really do not care about the motivations of Mr Black. He gave Andrew the knowledge and real world experience he needed to advance his book project. Plus, he began the connection that may pan out for Matt and Andrew. Andrew is the good, well grounded soul who could be the right person to help a rescued Matt recover. Heck, could they be eventually good , loving partners?

Andrew is solidly grounded. We now learned his current sexual partner is not the right person for him and other guys are interested in his bank account. Andrew has an outline and will begin writing Stolen Lives. He editor will course correct him as necessay. This is a risk for him since he readers like his fiction books. I hope it works out for him. Sadly, Matt is going to lose his virginity to his owner. It scares him but he has no other choice but to agree. He is a pawn until his owner tires of him. Maybe an agent for his owner will contact Mr Black and then Dante to take a well used Matt off his hands for sale at the Market. Matt's owner seems to like new, young men. Matt may reappear in Andrew's orbit through a phone call or email from Dante.

I think the mutual kiss at the end is the start in a new phase in their relationship. River began accepting pain then being tied up and then handcuffs and spreader bar while loosing himself in a feeling of bliss and a near religious experience. Kenji extended his treatment to comforting aftercare. I bet River is a special person for him. The both need to talk. River needs help and feels he needs more from Kenji. They can decied what makes sense. I hope Lukas gives him good advice.
