Chapter 46

  "Commander Freyr, welcome, it has been many days,” said Varta, emissary of Galar.

  The Skidbladnir had arrived in orbit around the planet Galar and Freyr, Karlan, and the elven duplicates of Anne Hathaway and Cameron Diaz had arrived to encourage their government to join the Lantean Commonwealth.

  “Indeed it has Varta, has your government looked over our request?” said Freyr, mentioning a previous communique he had sent to the Galaran government.

  "They have Commander Freyr, and we are wondering why the Lantean Commonwealth will soon replace the Protective Planet's treaty?” said Varta inquisitively.

  Freyr stopped walking amidst Galar's towering buildings, looked up at Varta and explained, “We at the Asgard High Council believe that the Commonwealth will serve in Galar's best interest because it allows a way for humans to protect other humans. As your people know, the Asgard are not gods as your ancestors believed but merely another advanced sentient species. We will try our best to defend this world from threats to allow for continual growth, however at this level in your development it is time for you to start defending yourselves.

  As Freyr was speaking Varta’s attention shifted to the beautiful women walking with them. The more he looked, the more they would look back at him with lust bubbling in their eyes.

  Freyr and the delegates from the Commonwealth continued to walk with Varta down the bustling streets of Galar. The world was extremely advanced with architecture reminiscent of Earth's 21st Century. With tall skyscrapers and monorails, its capital city could easily fit anywhere on Earth and no one would even notice. The group arrived at a wine gallery displaying all of the delectable wines and spirits from around Galar.

  “So your world specializes in wine?”asked Karlan as he gazed over the winery's menu.

  “Wine and memories,” Varta responded.

  “I didn't know wine and memories go together,” said Karlan comically.

  Varta laughed, “Well on most worlds they don't. We call it Ambrosia. The strongest and most intoxicating wine in the galaxy. It was created using a Goa’uld recipe and includes a host of ingredients that quickly befuddles the mind and brings bliss to the human consciousness. Galaran Ambrosia is so strong one glass can get you completely inebriated. We would have forgotten our own names if it wasn't for our memory transfer technology.”

  Soon, a young male waiter walked up to Karlan, Varta, and the elven replicants of Cameron Diaz and Anne Hathaway and handed them the most exquisite Ambrosia on the planet, a tall glass filled with a scarlet and gold tinged liquid befitting a king or ancient deity. "Thank you,” said the two elves in a lustful manner. As the waiter gave them their drinks he couldn't help but notice Anne and Cameron's big and beautiful breasts. Their cleavage was showing and their nipples were bulging right through their dress.

  "No p-problem ladies, enjoy the wine,”said the young man.

  While Karlan, Freyr and the others searched for an empty table, Cameron Diaz printed a holobadge and slipped it to the young man when no one was looking. "Hey my name's Cameron. When your world joins the Commonwealth, use this to contact me and I'll give you a tip you'll never forget,”said Cameron Diaz as she winked at the young waiter and squeezed one of her breasts.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  The young man smiled nervously and said nothing. He then forced an awkward smile, took the holobadge and nearly fell over as he grabbed his tray and walked away, sweat bleeding down his face.

  As the rest of the delegation sat down Varta began to explain more about Galaran technology to Karlan and the rest of the Commonwealth delegation.

  “About a century ago, we discovered a memory device left behind by the Goa’uld after the Asgard removed them from our planet. As in the case of your world, we were able to reverse engineer the technology and use its wonders to help elevate our civilization's progress. With this technology we have rapidly advanced at a rate that would have taken us decades. Imagine, in mere minutes all of the medical knowledge a doctor, or the technical knowledge of an engineer has accumulated, is transferred to another person. This technology could rapidly enhance the technological growth of a world by leaps and bounds and make one's citizenry brilliant,” explained Varta as he took a sip of his Ambrosia.

  Karlan was moved by Varta's words. Galaran memory technology was revolutionary, as revolutionary as Orban's nanotechnology. “Mending our two societies together through the Commonwealth could lead to extreme breakthroughs,” thought Karlan, and the two continued in deep conversation. After finishing the rest of his Ambrosia, Karlan stretched out his hand and printed a small cookie and gave it to Varta.

  "H-How did you do that? What is this wafer? ”Varta asked as Karlan materialized an Orbanian delight.

  “Matter replication technology. It's one of the many gifts you'll receive when your world joins the Commonwealth. All you have to do is think and these wrist matter converters will print whatever you need,”said Karlan as he printed an additional glass of wine to complement the one he had already finished. “My world, as I stated earlier, was also under occupation by the Goa’uld. When we overthrew their regime, my people also galvanized some of their technology and were able to create microscopic nanites that drastically enhanced the neural output of Orbanian citizens. With our nanotechnology we were able to take memories, knowledge, and even experiences from one person and transfer them to another. This helped us develop our civilization quickly. Recently, after joining the Lantean Commonwealth, we were able to make huge strides in our nanotechnology. Now our nanites do not merely store data, they can heal as well. That wafer you have in your hand is a sample of our medical nanites. Once you take that, not only will your intelligence and memory recall be amplified but you'll live a life of perfect health,”said Karlan as he printed an Orbanian delight for himself and popped one in his mouth.

  The emissary from Galar was intrigued, and quite tipsy. Without even thinking he took the small chocolate covered wafer and placed it inside of his mouth and began chewing.

  “Extrordinary. It tastes extraordinary; but how do I know if it works?” wondered Varta as he washed down the treat with the divine Galaran elixir.

  Karlan printed a knife, “Cut yourself.”

  Varta was clearly becoming drunk at this point, having downed his entire glass of Ambrosia in one gulp. He took the knife from Karlan and cut the inside of his hand.

  “Ouch.” screeched Varta. The rest of the winery turned to look at him, a look of terror in their eyes.

  "Sorry,” said the tipsy leader as he quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe his hands. “This better work or our two worlds will be at war,”said Varta sarcastically.

  "Look at your hand,”instructed Karlan.

  Varta looked down at his hand and to his surprise, the cut on his palm was gone.

  “Oh heavens,”said Varta. “I'm completely healed.”

  Freyr who was sitting beside Karlan, opened his mouth and stated, “If you were to join the Commonwealth, not only will you have access to the matter conversion technology but also the ancient database, hyperdrive technology, as well as these Orbanian nanites.”

  Varta looked at Freyr and Karlan dumbfounded then ordered another drink.

  As Varta's drink arrived at the table he noticed that Anne Hathaway and Cameron Diaz weren't wearing any underwear “Oh my,” he thought. “Anne Hathaway doesn't have on any panties.” As he began to sip his second glass of Ambrosia, he couldn't help but drift his eyes downwards noticing that the more he looked down the more their legs began to spread.

  "What about you two lovely ladies, how do you enjoy life in the Commonwealth?”

  "We'd enjoy it more if you were in it.” said Cameron Diaz, a hint of seduction on her lips.

  Both Karlan and Freyr looked at their two elven companions with shock.

  “You'll also have access to us, if you join the Lantean Commonwealth. Alfheim is a world filled with nothing but beautiful women who would do nothing more than make life more pleasurable for the men of the Commonwealth,”said the elf who looked like Anne Hathaway, making obvious flirtatious advances at Varta.

  Karlan laughed, then interrupted, "Please forgive the elves. The elves of Alfheim are biosynthetic lifeforms. Although they look human they are not, they were created – programmed if you will. Part of their programming is to seek out male liaisons as sexual partners, when we get back to Alfheim we'll have to –

  "When can I sign up?” said Varta, cutting Karlan off.

  “Um, excuse me?” asked Karlan.

  "When can I join your fucking Commonwealth.”
