In the year 3000A.D. the lunar colonies were completed and the chosen men and women were preparing to be the first to populate this new colony. They were sent in two by two; the top man and woman from each profession that were deemed healthy and of acceptable breeding age. Thus, the colony was known as 'The Arc'. They set up home and began compiling all their knowledge of their particular field into holographic learning projections, so that the future children of The Arc could learn a profession, and the race would never die out.
Only a little more than 100 years later, the bombs finally dropped on Earth. Entire nations were wiped out and what was left of the planet was now desolate and completely uninhabitable. The people of The Arc were now the only remaining survivors, and as the colony grew, their need to explore and inhabit planets to create future colonies grew as well.

The miners began that deadly procession back to the surface, carrying behind them twelve tons or uranium ore. Should the cart accidentally veer off track and hit a gas pocket, the whole mine would end up nothing more than yet another huge crater on the surface of Mars. Shaila, Ruhana, Krie and Ellz were strapped into their harnesses and crawled their way through the pitch black tunnel. They were blackened, wore little more than rags, and all had horrific wounds to their backs, where they had been whipped for not moving quickly enough, or for merely stopping to catch their breath.
Krie was the worst off from these terrible beatings. She was tall and slim, with perfectly formed breasts. She had tan colored skin, and long, black hair. Her back was riddled with whipping wounds. The two original archeologists on The Arc were Italian and Egyptian and their offspring had intertwined with Greek and Romanian families; these were Krie's ancestors. Krie's brother had died in the rebellion, as the people had tried to stop the political forces turning Mars into a slavery. Krie had just been a child, and hadn't realized why her brother had never returned or why she was being forced to make the harnesses for the older miners to wear. Now she was the only direct member of her family left, and at 18, was prepared to fight 'the watchers' with all she had.
The watchers were specifically bred for their task. They were descendants of athletes, weightlifters, sportsmen and the like. The men were huge walls of muscle, and kept the miners subdued using brute force. The female offspring were trained as builders, and erected huge palaces for the rulers of the human race - the politicians. Once a year the watchers were allowed to breed, and chose any miner they liked to serve this purpose. Of course, the female miner's lives could be made easier by doing sexual favors for the watchers, but any woman found pregnant before the breeding season would have her child removed to become either a slave for the politicians, or a future wife of the politicians. Krie had been one of these children, but as it was only a couple of weeks before breeding season, no one really noticed. Her mother had reduced herself to begging for her husband's life through sex; and now the nephew of this particular watcher, Krug, had his eye on Krie for his mate.
Krie only had two days left before the watchers picked their mates. Some of them were finding it hard controlling their lust for their chosen one, and instead humiliated them in front of their fellow miners by stripping them naked and forcing them to work like this. Each of the chosen women would be taken down into a 'breeding center' for a month. These centers were no more than dungeons, where she would sit and wait until night, and her watcher would come to mate with her. Once that month had passed, they would be put to work with the children, fixing the mining equipment and making new harnesses, and handles for sledgehammers.
The male miners were deep in the tunnels, digging out the ore. Krie and her three workmates went to collect the ore, and by chance were taken to the section of the mine where Ellz's secret husband was. They had married deep in the mine, as did many of the miners, and had consummated their marriage there. Now Ellz was stripped, and her husband knew that she had been chosen. Krie had told them that they must see each other before Ellz was taken to a center. Krie and her two other workmates began to load the cart as Ellz and her husband made love against the wall of the mine. For a moment, Krie was mesmerized by the motion of his penis desperately thrusting into Ellz. Krie imagined herself up against that wall with Krug raping her, as she screamed for him to get off.
