The Story of Gary Turner & Alyssa Breckner
Gary Turner was
careful
.
When most people were unfrozen on the Station they immediately started experimenting, pairing off with different men (or women) to see who they could get the highest score with.
But not Gary. For two weeks Gary didn't partner with anyone, despite the best efforts of women like Laura Giancomo and Shelly Rendler. He wasn't even moved by an offer of oral sex from Susan Shinn.
At first people thought that maybe he was a Resistor, someone who was refusing to participate in the Experiment. But that was far from true. Gary spent the first two weeks talking to women, but just talking to them, finding out about likes, dislikes, passions, and life back on Earth. Women quickly grew frustrated with him when they realized that this was not simply verbal foreplay and Gary would not be pairing with them.
But then two weeks after arriving Gary
did
pair with Gabriella Lozatti. Then two weeks later he paired with Samantha Arlen. Both times he achieved respectable above average scores in the low to mid 600's.
What Gary was doing was partnering with women who he thought would be a good match for his own gene traits. He interviewed them to try and figure out what their gene traits were and then thought about whether they would be a good complement for his. He was approaching the Experiment in a very methodical way that Graylor and Frog would have approved of.
Alyssa Breckner was much the same. She interviewed men in the same way as Gary interviewed women, searching for men who could complement her traits. She had been unfrozen just a few weeks before Gary but had only partnered with one more person than him.
And so when the two encountered each other they quickly realized the methodologies they had in common.
They had a quiet candlelight dinner in Bermuda.
"I worked in Public Relations for the World Government," said Alyssa. "Every time a new regulation or revenue enhancement measure came down, I had to explain it in a way that people could relate to."
"Relate to?"
"To explain to them how it could benefit them, how the World Government was working to help them, to meet their needs."
Intuition. She has intuition and understanding.
The conversation gradually turned to his work and interests. Gary had worked his way up from a lowly project manager to Vice President of the Bessemer Corporation, a medical technology company which made mental reconditioning devices for the Politically Insane, used in mental hospitals around the world.
He's worked his way up to the top. He's hard working and diligent,
Alyssa thought.
After dinner they took a walk in the Cryo Chamber. It might not have seemed a romantic setting but Alyssa had suggested it and Gary agreed.
They walked past the rows and rows of frozen bodies. The giant multi-level room could easily accommodate several hundred cryotubes, though not all of them were occupied. As they walked passed the bodies Gary saw nude men and women, usually in the primes of their lives, in their 20's or 30's or early 40's.
"Handsome men," Alyssa commented, with a tight smile.
"And beautiful women," said Gary, stopping in front of one gorgeous woman who caught his eye. It just happened to be the body of Survey Service Commander Sophie Astor, perfectly preserved in cryogenic suspension. Sophie was totally nude, her hands at her sides, her hazel eyes staring straight out at them. Her large, firm, nuclear tipped breasts stood straight out and were a remarkable contrast to her narrow hips and flat stomach. Between her legs her dark pubic triangle looked trim and cute.
Alyssa put a hand on his shoulder. "Would you like to fuck her, Gary?"
Gary looked at Sophie's sexy body and gulped. She looked like a holomodel.
"Would you like to take her and make her yours?" Alyssa asked, her eyes shining.
Gary imagined himself plunging inside of Sophie's cunt, feeling that sexy body pressed against him as he fucked her vigorously. With an effort he turned to Alyssa. "It's not about that."
"Then what is it about?" Her hand wandered over his shoulder.
"It's about finding a compatible mate," said Gary.
"I know," said Alyssa. "It was obvious you were asking me about my gene traits at dinner." Her hand roamed farther.
"Was it that obvious?"
"Um hm," she said. She kissed him lightly.
"I noticed you were doing the same too," said Gary. He kissed her back.
"Um hm," she said again. "We both know what we want, don't we, Gary?"
"Yes, we do," he said.
And then Gary let her pull him down the ground and they did it, right then and there in the Cryo room. Even as Sophie Astor's blank eyes stared at them, Gary made love to Alyssa, plunging into her pussy as they consummated their pairing. From time to time he glanced up at Sophie, but her expression was totally unchanged.

Afterwards, as they lay together on the floor of the Cryo room, Alyssa giggled, "I've never done it here before."
"It was your idea."
"I thought it was the perfect opportunity, with that sexy ice cube turning you on."
"You were the only one I had eyes for, silly," said Gary, pinching her. He took a deep breath. "So... you'll agree to partner with me, of course."
"If I didn't, then I just had sex for nothing," she laughed, which kind of hurt him. "Just one thing, though."
"What?"
"I want to make a tiny adjustment to our gene plates. Nothing really significant. I just want to tune down your gene traits associated with independence just a little bit."
"What? Why?"
"Well, independence is a good thing, and I always like that in a man," she said, stroking his body. "But it can adversely affect some scores like Community and Emotional Self Awareness."
"It's funny because I was thinking the same thing."
"You were?"
"That maybe we should adjust some of your gene traits down a bit," said Gary.
She sat up abruptly. "Why would you want to do that?"
"Your gene traits are magnificent, really," Gary assured her. "But your concept of self-preservation may be a bit too strong for some things like Community and Population. I just want to lower that a bit, just a bit, while playing up my empathy just a bit. That would be perfect."
"I really think lowering your independence is the way to go," Alyssa said firmly, rubbing his body more strongly.
"I really think adjusting your self-preservation is the best way to go," said Gary.
Alyssa gave a nervous laugh. "How do we resolve this impasse?"
"We... we could ask Graylor's opinion."
"That lizard? No, I wouldn't leave this in his hands." She gave a bitter laugh. "I'm told The Federationistas started out trying to mix and match on their own and did a terrible job of it. That's why they leave it up to us now."
"Then how do you propose to resolve this? A compromise? Maybe we each adjust each other's gene plates as we want?"
"A compromise yes, but not a simultaneous one," said Alyssa. "If we do that and it doesn't work out we'll never know which adjustments were right or wrong."
"True."
She started to stroke his penis. "I have a compromise. Let's try my adjustments first, and then, if the pairing doesn't go well, we'll do a second pairing with the adjustments you want."
"Why do you get to go first?" Gary asked.
She started to stroke him more vigorously.
"Oh... oh......"
"Are you ready to let me go first, Gary?"
