“Great Mother, I still don’t see the need for the empress to have opened relations with these people again,” said Clave dryly.
“She is concerned about the mutants we were forced to leave behind on Earth, my lord,” replied Melmore. “Also, she felt that our homeworld and its people could benefit from our technology.”
Clave snorted and said, “The Akkadians and ‘The People of the Books’ are living proof that even mutants from Earth are a prudish and annoying lot! And as for the humans, they are greedy and violent. They will care nothing for what is good only for that which they can corrupt for war!”
“Lord Talos shares your opinion,” said Melmore, “and even Beral III is now having reservations about sharing anything with them. However, not all mutants from Earth are unredeemable, and you forget that your own ancestors, the mighty High Lord Cato, General Lord Wayne C. Brent and High Lord Titus were all Earthborn mutants.”
“This…is true,” said Clave slowly. “Actually, there is one human among the newcomers I was rather fond of…despite my reservations.”
“Luther?” Queen Tabitha giggled.
“Who is, Luther?” asked Melmore.
“He is one of the American President’s aides, and the only one that doesn’t seem to be a prudish, scheming, tight-ass!” said Clave.
“Oh some of the others have begun to loosen up,” said Tabitha. “I think only the presence of their leader is keeping many of the younger ones from going completely native. Besides…from what I’ve seen, they have
no
right to pass judgment on us!”
Both Lord Clave and Melmore looked at her. “What do you mean?” asked Melmore.
“If they behave themselves, I’ll show you later (chuckle) in private after they’ve gone. But if they become self-righteous and condescending to our ways, you and the others will see it much sooner. Either way, it will be most amusing…trust me.” Melmore and Clave looked at each other again and shrugged.

President Chambers and several other world leaders and ambassadors from Earth looked on nervously and in great embarrassment as the feast in their honor got underway. The Akkadians also were not in the least comfortable. The Illyrians had, in hindsight, been very accommodating to the sensibilities of the outsiders when they were in their country, but the Melmorians couldn’t care less. From the nudity to the food, Melmorians did not in any way try to please the alien’s senses of rightness. Live animals were brought out in cages and feral mutants killed and devoured them raw on the spot without bothering to cook them. Wine and Beer were flowing freely and already several of the younger Melmorians were making advances on the various mutant guests. President Chambers noticed that several young human females and males were being sent over to the human’s tables. These people were just as naked as the mutants, and despite being human, were culturally Bellasarian through and through. Two young women appraised Luther, but seemed hesitant to approach him, but then an Illyrian mutant smiled and whispered something in their ears and both women giggled and quickly made places for themselves on either side of him. President Chambers was a little at a loss as what to say. Poor Luther knew he was being watched as well. The human girls were very curvy and attractive. One was black and the other…he would say white, but it was hard to say. She appeared to be of some Asian and Caucasian mix. He had no doubt that there was a lot more than that in the mix though, even the black girl had hazel eyes.
“I trust you’ll let the boy enjoy himself tonight, hmmm, Lady President?”
President Chambers looked over to the queen’s place. It was not her voice that she had heard in her head. She looked at the elder sitting in her place of honor, and the other woman smiled.
“Yes, it was me. I have been told by the queen and several of my Illyrian friends here, that he, the one called ‘Luther’, is very likable and doesn’t hesitate to take on our ways. Our humans have been told that he is a man who knows how to have fun…when it is appropriate. Shall I tell the young women I was wrong? Or should I tell them the truth. He will not oblige them because his mistress does not approve of our ways.”
President Chambers had seen this woman before when she and the others had been escorted into the queen’s presence. The mutant leaders had all showed this woman GREAT respect, even the kings and queens. The woman’s ankle length white hair marked her clearly as an elder of great age, possibly a former queen herself. That was something else President Chambers had noticed about the Melmorians. In Illyria, the elders she had seen had all worn clothes that were conservative by Bellasarian standards and acceptable by even Earth standards, some of them even wore veils, but not here. The old woman was tall and beautiful almost beyond belief. Aside from her jewelry, the elder was quite naked. Her form was curvy and she was very well-endowed. Her complexion was light olive, which made her lustrous, snow white hair stand out pleasingly. Her eyes were reptilian. Most of the human men from Earth were speechless. Many were embarrassed as their bodies responded against their wills. Ambassador Cain looked as though she would melt. Desire was all over her face. The American President and several of the other human dignitaries looked at the old woman with ill-concealed envy. Although she looked like a woman in her twenties, it was more than likely that this bitch was far older than anyone in the room. There did seemed to be some similarity between her and Queen Tabitha, who practically jumped at her every request and paid heed to her as if she was the goddess Nana herself, making Chambers conclude that she was a direct ancestor.
“Elder…”
began President Chambers, not certain of what she’d say.
“Elder, the young man may do as he pleases. It is your way and your country, after all.”
“Indeed,”
replied the elder.
President Chambers had word passed to her people (particularly one) that they should enjoy themselves if they chose to do so. Melmore was genuinely shocked. She had hoped the American would say or do something that would offend her, so she could then have an excuse to send them packing from her land…and maybe the planet, but the American woman was too sharp. She had failed, just as Bellasaris had in Illyria. That is, that’s what she thought. Suddenly, a woman from among the delegates stood up in outrage as a Melmorian woman nearby giggled and took her companion’s arm. It was an innocent gesture of affection, but one of the human dignitaries’ panicked thinking that it was going to lead to more.
“I must protest, Queen Tabitha!” shouted the woman and the room became quiet. “I endured this once before in Illyria, but even the Illyrians had the decency to at least wait until most people had finished eating to begin fornicating all over the place! And why do we have to look at people’s bare asses and tits everywhere! The Illyrians didn’t…”
“This isn’t Illyria,” said a Melmorian noblewoman, “in case you haven’t noticed! So, our dislike of clothes is not to
your
liking, eh? Then go back where you came from!” Her man quickly jumped to his feet and moved between the two women in an attempt to keep peace.
The Earth woman looked down and gasped. The young man was quite naked aside from his armlets, wrist bands and other ornaments.
“You…You are an IMMORAL people!” screamed the woman, still looking at the young mutant in…well…awe.
There were now angry shouts from the gathered mutants, only the Akkadians seemed to sympathize with the human woman. The Earth delegates were very nervously looking around themselves. If they all died here tonight, all the mutants would have to do is return Bain to this realm and close the dimensions. The people back home wouldn’t even be able to avenge them. One of the mutants transformed and even the woman who spoke out now realized her danger. President Chambers notice the tips of the elder’s fangs appear as her full lips began to form a smile.
“Silence ALL!” shouted the queen, now rising to her feet. The room suddenly fell silent. The human woman began to stammer an apology, but Queen Tabitha held up her hand silencing her. Nearby, her mate, Lord Clave stood opening and closing his hands. “So you think we Melmorians are immoral, eh human? Not just Melmorians I think, but Bellasarians as a whole…aside from those people,” she said nodding to the Akkadians. The woman said nothing. Queen Tabitha snapped her fingers and what appeared to be a DVD case was placed in her hand.
“This
was borrowed by my daughter from one of your people back in Illyria.” The queen held up the case. It was clearly a pornographic film. “Hmmm, ‘Big Bruno the Destroyer’? What is it side two is called, ‘Bimbo Babes Banged in Brooklyn?’ Is ‘Bimbo’ an Earth tribe or a class of women? I assume this is a sample of ‘Earth’ culture?” There was silence in the room. Chambers immediately shot a look at, Luther.
“Don’t look at me!” said Luther quickly.
“Automatically blaming, Lord Luther, hmmm? No, Lady President, this was owned by a woman. It is a crude and outdated mode of storage, but we have managed to rig up something that will play it.”
“Wait! That won’t be necessary, Queen Tabitha!” quickly stammered the president. “Your point is made.”
“No, but I think it
is
necessary,” said Tabitha with a malicious grin. “My people would love to see the culture of the self-righteous people of Earth.” The disc was placed in a device and a huge screen appeared and the DVD began to play. Immediately an image of an attractive young woman with five men appeared. There was little story to this movie as the action began immediately.
The Earth people were mortified. “It would be the side with the gangbang,” said Chambers dryly.
Curiously, the mutants were watching it seriously, almost as though it was a class assignment in school.
“Hmmm, she’s not bad for a human,” said a young Illyrian noblewoman.
“Yes, for a
human,”
said Princess Bella. “But she is in no class with our women. She has only basic skills in love-play.”
“Did she make this thing to impress potential mates with her ability?” asked a young Melmorian man who was clearly
unimpressed
.
“Why does she needs so
many
men?!” asked Queen Bal.
“Humph! They’re an inferior lot. Just
one
of our men would put that silly human through such paces that she’d go mad and ten human men wouldn’t be able to satisfy her again,” replied Princess Abe.
The Earth dignitaries and their aides listened to all this with fascination, embarrassment and even rapidly growing self-consciousness. These Bellasarian people watched an extremely filthy and explicit porno and analyzed it like a documentary. For many of the men present, their comments did little to raise their egos as human men from Earth and they had a few Earth women now curious about Bellasarian men.
As for Queen Tabitha, she and Melmore were very much amused. Their people couldn’t grasp that this filth was for nothing more than human entertainment and sexual pleasure. They actually believed that there was some higher reason for that woman on the screen to be debasing herself with all those men. Many commented that it appeared as though she was being used as a sexual
thing
rather than a mate or friendly companion. The word “Slave” came up once or twice as well. When the film finally reached its messy conclusion the queen raised her hand for quiet.
“My fellow Bellasarians, this…visual program was made for the pleasure of humans to watch. Evidently, they become sexually aroused by watching others have sex and will pay to see people act out their fantasies. The woman and men in this thing were
paid
to do it.” A murmur of shock and soon disgust rippled among the Bellasarians, both mutant and human. “This sort of visual entertainment is very common on Earth and can be found, so I understand, on their computers for free or purchase and can also be purchased in stores. I understand that there are even films of people coupling with children and animals.” Cries of outrage and disgust were now heard among the Bellasarians. “And still others where people are tortured and killed for the pleasures of those who have become too jaded to become aroused by
this
sort of thing now.” There was a gasp of horror from the gathered Bellasarians…even the Akkadians. “I wonder how they can be so offended by
our
ways. I’d imagine many would be pleased to just watch. Or perhaps they’d rather see babies raped or women defiled by horses.”
“That’s not fair!” cried a woman. “Such films are illegal! People who make them are severely prosecuted when caught! They have no place in our society! And as far as I’m concerned, there is no place for porn
period
in our society!”
“But they exist, no? They exist, despite the risk and the despicable nature of the acts because there is a market for them…right? Indeed, the more bizarre and hard to get, the higher the
price
for these things, and thus there are always those who will perform or exploit others to do so, right?!” The room was silent. “Your people will do
anything
for money! And you actually get pleasure from watching this? You dare to point your fingers at
us?!”
Chambers watched with a sinking feeling as the white haired beauty stood up. She was visibly pleased.
“You people have insulted us in our own land. Indeed, in our very home. You have NO manners and you are proven hypocrites. You will stay the night and then leave my land. I will see that the empress hears of this affront. I am done!”
