Tales From The Space Force
Author's Note:
This is a work of pure fantasy.
The story contains sexual activities and situations between a man and a Cyborg woman that are to be read only by readers above the legal age of consent. All characters having sexual relations are above the age of 18. All the character names, places are made up and not real.
As you can see from the title, this is a story about the new Space Force set in the year 2120. It's sort of "Ghost In The Shell" meets "Starship Troopers."
I started this when I got stuck on the Katja series, it helped to clear my mind doing something different. But I started to like the story and characters a lot, so I finished it. Maybe.
For convenience and to keep the story moving, everything has been converted to English such as language, measurements and names, etc. etc.
As are most of the stories I've written and will write, if you're looking for story that goes, "They met, they had wild sex, the end" I would advise reading something else.
I don't consider myself a writer or author, I'm a storyteller. So please take that into consideration when you read it, it should be read like someone is telling you the story. I am not now, or never have been an English major, so the grammar may not be correct, but it is like people really talk. I've never talked to someone that had perfect grammar.
I write for my enjoyment and for the people that like it. And remember, this is pure fiction and fantasy.
If you don't like how and what I write, oh well. Don't read it. My feelings won't be hurt.
For those of you that do like what I've posted so far, thank you and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

"Ghost in the Shell"
In the future, the line between human and machine is disappearing. Advancements in the technology allow humans to enhance themselves with cybernetic parts. By transplanting a human brain into a fully synthetic body, they will combine the strongest attributes of human and robot.
Aramaki: "When we see our uniqueness as a virtue, only then will we find peace."
Major Mira Killian: "My mind is human. My body is manufactured. We cling to memories as if they define us. But what we do defines us. My ghost survived to remind the next of us... that humanity is our virtue. I know who I am... and what I'm here to do."
Major Mira Killian: "Say something nice."
"Starship Troopers"
Rasczak: Naked force has resolved more conflicts throughout history than any other factor. The contrary opinion, that violence doesn't solve anything, is wishful thinking at its worst. People who forget that always die.
Tales From The Space Force (Part 1)
By 65rebel.
Prolog: It is the year 2120.
Back about 100 years ago, the United States stood up a new branch of the military called "Space Force". This drew a lot of humor from the citizens and a lot of the military people of the time, that ranged from jokes posted on what was called at the time "Social Media", to outright complaints that the country didn't need something like this. It was jokingly compared to an old entertainment vid of the time called "Starship Troopers."
The people were told the new branch was never really intended to fight aliens or things like that. It was really meant to deal with the copious amount satellites in use, space flight, cyberwarfare and whatever else that was developed. It was thought it would be easier and less confusing to have all these and various other things under one branch, instead of having it spread around between other branches and civilian organizations.
However, there was another, more important reason for its formation. It's secret mission and purpose that the vast majority of people didn't know about, was because of extraterrestrial contacts that had been made since the 1940's. This was not common knowledge, but was speculated on by many different people and organizations at the time, and the people had demanded that they be told what was going on and spoke of government coverups.
But, the leadership of the Unites States and many other of, what was called at the time, "Superpowers" knew they had to keep this secret to keep people from panicking if they knew the truth. Another old entertainment vid of the time cited the best reason for this; Two members of a secret government organization called, "Men in Black" were talking about it after the newest agent had been recruited,
"Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it."
And he was answered,
"Yes, a person is smart. But people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."
The first real contact in modern times was made in a place call Roswell, New Mexico in the 1940's. Not to go too far into detail, the aliens ship had crashed and they were assisted by the humans, but the contact was hidden from the civilian population. However, most people were certain that it did happen and were convinced the government was covering it up.
What was learned from that encounter, was that there were other people in the galaxy. Some were humanoid like us, like the ones who crashed, but some had evolved from different species, feline, canine, reptile and avian to name a few, but they tended not to go exploring that much anymore. It was also explained that the people who crash landed here had also come here during the beginnings of our world along with some of the other alien races. They had come to help us progress to where we are now and had also visited many other times since then to see how we progressed as the human race grew and learned new and possibly dangerous things.
But then they were also informed of some of the other species, that didn't get along with the rest. They hadn't been here to earth yet, but would one day. That was the main reason for the interest in our planet, the extraterrestrials were trying to protect us until we could advance enough to join them against the others.
Earth was pretty much at peace now, but that wasn't always the case. From the time Space Force was established to about fifty years later, both good and bad had happened. A civil war was averted in the United States due to the philosophical views of liberal and conservative factions in the United States, as it was called at the time. This civil war was averted by finally splitting up the country into three parts, conservatives in the east, liberals in the west and independents in the center.
These three parts lived basically how they wanted and were governed by a triumvirate of three elected individuals known as triumvirs, this was taken from an ancient earth culture called Rome. You could still live were you wanted, but if you did, you needed to follow the rules as they were laid down for the area. However, the countries military was separate from this and was made up of all three, though it should be noted that the majority of the people came from the conservative or independent parts of the country. This is just the general information on the breakup and what led up to it, as it would take too long to write about it here. However, it worked with surprisingly very few problems and most people were happy now.
The rest of the world was basically at peace also, or at least all the superpowers and the majority of what was called, third-world countries. This was brought about by the first "public" landing of the extraterrestrials. They had finally decided to make this contact openly due to a war being staged in space. They had protected our world as much as possible, but the different species decided we were finally at a point for us to get involved also. They had not wanted to wait till the last minute, but came early enough to help us train and develop equipment to aid the rest of the friendly species.
So, all the superpowers and many of the minor powers met with them and a pact was established to accomplish this. All the different countries and powers may have their differences, but they could see the sense in it all once they were provided with all the information. And their noses rubbed into it for some of the stubborn ones.
Many things were also brought to light because of this. The American Space Force, that was once laughed about was revealed for what it really was, an actual branch designed and trained to fight this type of conflict. People stopped joking about it once it was revealed for what it really was, along with the information that Russian, Chinese, and some others that had their own type of space force. The people were also informed that the international space station was actually created to help support this.
This helped keep the panic down once the common man was told of all this. Of course, a lot of more things would have to happen before earth was ready, but the people understood that we were not being blindsided. So, for the next thirty years since the official landing of the extraterrestrial's, technology leapt ahead leaps and bounds with their help.
A lot of thought had been put into this by the extraterrestrials. The ones we had contact with, they were called the Vagan's, that were teaching and helping us, were almost human in appearance. The only real differences were their skin color, theirs was a dark gold color, both male and female were bald, they were all over six feet tall, and their eyes were... cat-like... in appearance. They were fluent in English, Russian, Chinese, plus many other common earth languages. Since they weren't some type pf really strange, alien looking people, they looked very human, the people of the earth accepted them, for the most part.
Many things were developed, not only to fight and protect the world, but new power sources were built, new ways to grow foods so no one went hungry, and of course, medical developments that helped heal or stop common diseases from occurring.
Huge strides were also made in cybernetics and robotics, and soon there were robots and eventually, cyborgs. The most important fact is that many cybernetics were designed and built to enhance...not replace humans and the cyborgs were designed to look, feel, move and act like normal humans. Actual robotics was unpopular and was normally only used for military applications and to aid with things that were to dangerous for humans. The cybernetics also enabled the citizens to be connected to a vast network of information, and aided people who needed replacement parts due to sickness and injuries.
To explain this in a little more detail;
1. Cyber-enhancement; Enhancements made to humans that let them connect to computer networks and communication systems, and/ or having individual prosthetic replacement parts due to damage or illness such as eyes, hands, feet, arms, legs, etc. Plus, enhancements to be able to accomplish things easier and better.
2. Cyborg; The cyborg is a human who has had full-body cyberization, having a prosthetic body which has parts that can be exchanged or replaced when damaged. They still possessed their own brain, and was used in the case of people who were beyond medical repair. This was considered a great leap forward when the process for melding a human brain to an enhanced prosthetic body was discovered. Unless you interacted personally with them, you'd never know they were cyborgs.
