"I guess congratulations are in order." Pam looked over the medical screenings for the Mormon sisters. "You're both pregnant... right around the first trimester for both of you." Pam looked up and smiled. Gail was the only one to return her smile. Zinnia looked like she might be sick. Their husbands had both gone a little pale. "But of course, you already must have known?"
"That means that I conceived...
before
the Errand arrived?" Zinnia rubbed her arm absently.
"It's a miracle." James forced a smile and patted his wife on the back.
"It is at that." Gail nodded.
"That's the good news. The bad news is that your blood work identified some of those estrogen-like hormones we're calling the Errand effect." She looked at the women. The doctors said the Errand effect was like a second adolescence, and Pam could clearly see these women had filled out like many who had spent time on the mysterious ship. She tried not to look at their bulging bust lines. "Maybe that's why you... um... committed that act with the portmaster?"
"We may never see the Messiah again, but I'm proud we served him in every way possible." Gail beamed at the inspector general. James squeezed her hand uncomfortably.
"My sister has been through so much. She's a bit confused." Zinnia's jaw was clenched. The news that she was pregnant, and that it had advanced so quickly in a short time, had hit her hard. "We were under duress. The Winthrops threatened us. We had to fuel the ship. And she didn't mean to do that thing with the portmaster."
"I would do it again if only to --" Gail was cut off when James coughed loudly. She pulled her hand away from his.
"What did the Winthrops threaten you with? Surely you could have come to us for help?" Pam had been through dozens of interviews since the Errand had left with the former inspector general on board.
"They were very scary, ungodly people." Zinnia nodded firmly. "I think I need to go home and rest now." She stood. Everyone else in the room stood, too.
"I have some more questions. If you wouldn't mind telling me more about Jacob Winthrop. Is he the 'Messiah'?" Pam moved between the Mormons and the door.
"My wife and her sister are clearly unwell." Dale put his arm around Zinnia's waist. "We will return to our homes and meditate on the plasma discs of Sagittarius A. When they are feeling better, perhaps we can come in for another interview."
"I will never see my husband again, thanks to that wretched inspector general." Tears formed in Gail's eyes. "What good is any of this without his --"
"Quiet, Gail," Zinnia snapped.
"You can see they're unwell." Dale stepped toward the door. "If you aren't going to charge them with a crime, we're leaving."
Pam stepped aside. "I do have more questions. We'll be in touch."
"Very well." Dale opened the door. He led his wife out. James followed.
Gail leaned close to Pam on her way out and whispered, "I carry the harvest of the savior of man. I may never know true bliss again, but I shall herald his message."
"Tell me more." Pam waited, but Gail only smiled and left the room. Pam didn't have the foggiest notion what was going on, but she would watch those Mormons like a hawk. She wished she could arrest them on the spot, but all of Tigov had rallied around Gail and Zinnia. Pam sat down and sighed. She missed Tabitha. She prayed the former inspector general was doing as well as possible. Maybe she would find a way to return home.

"Oh... no... oh... no... it's happening... again... eeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii." Tabitha rode Jacob hard. It had been two days since she'd been allowed to see him, and she had never been so hungry for a man.
Seeing the beauty of the inspector's twisted face as her eyes rolled back reminded Jacob of all that he had lost when she'd expelled them from Tigov 19. "Tabitha... Tabitha..." He had to wait for her orgasm to pass. When it did, he slapped her boob to get her attention. "Tabitha... you're a smart... lady. What should I do... uh... uh... now?"
"Cum... Jacob... I need you to... cum... now." Tabitha undulated her whole body on top of him, pushing that monstrous dick deep into her belly. "Uuuuggghhhhhhhh... how does it know... how?" It found a weak spot inside her and exploited it.
"About the Errand... I mean." Jacob respected this woman, even as she begged for cum. "There is another station... a few years away. We could get there... and try... again. Or... ah... ah... we could go back into cryo and head for... New Canaan."
"New... Canaan... is the safest... for you... for the Messiah." Tabitha tried to concentrate. Another climax built inside her. "I will go... into cryo... if you ask. Whatever... you want... Jacob... ooooohhhhhhhhh." Her climax crested. Tabitha trembled all over.
"Yeah... it sucks... but yeah..." Jacob tried to let their plans slip from his mind. He didn't need to think about them now. He was joined to a beautiful, smart woman. He gazed at her hard nipples and the blue veins under her pale skin. He resolved to live and spread life. "I'm going to cum... in your pussy... Tabitha."
"Oh, yesssssssssss." Her hips pumped up and down, trying to finish it. "Pleasssssssse."

"It's settled then?" Mary looked at Jacob, a half-frown tugging on her lips. Her son nodded at her. There wasn't anything halfway about his frown. She sighed and sat straighter in her chair, looking at the room full of women. "It is settled. In order to make fruitful the new world promised to us, we will go back into cryo. How long before everything is ready, Judy?"
"Well, if I wasn't slowed by this little miracle..." Judy patted her enormous belly. A screen appeared in the air before her. She moved numbers around with subtle hand gestures. "I could do it in a week. But I'm slower now. I'll have Humility help me, but even so..." She shrugged.
"We will prepare for a couple weeks' time." Mary stood and straightened her uniform. She rubbed her own swelling belly. She was just starting to show. "That is all for now."
"There is one further order of business, Member Mary Winthrop." The computer's soft voice cut in before anyone could stand.
"What is it, Errand?" Jacob was quite curious. Maybe the ship had thought of some way to keep them out of cryo.
"When we arrive at New Canaan, I will be restricted by various planetary protocols. One of these directs that I must wake the pastor and the designated arrival crew of thirty-two colonists."
"Well, wake us up first. Maybe a year out." Maureen did not see what the problem was.
"I cannot do that." Errand's voice cooled. "When approaching New Canaan, only the designated crew must wake."
Judy raised her hand. "I can reprogram the computer."
"No, it was blasphemous what Mason did. We should not interfere with the hand of God." Mary shook her head.
"I mean..." Maureen wasn't so sure.
"We really can't do that." Humility leaned forward. "The whole mission might be put in jeopardy if we go against His will."
There was silence.
Penny raised her hand. "What do we know about the pastor? Is he also the captain?"
"Yes, as senior pastor, Elijah Sterret is what you would call the captain of this ship. He is devoted to God, but of course he knows only the old ways." Pricilla had been dying to speak. "I'm friends with the pastor's daughter, Charity. The whole family was deeply committed to Colony Control and our mission when we left Earth."
Quiet ruled the table again as people thought this over.
"I assume he has a wife?" Tabitha thought this was all rather obvious, but no one had said it yet. There were several nods in answer to her question. "Tame the wife, tame the husband. If she might please you, Jacob, that seems like using the tool we have for the problem at hand. Your safety cannot be guaranteed unless we control the ship's authority structure. So, we wake them up now and tame them before we all go into cryo."
Everyone looked at Jacob.
"Truth Sterret is a pretty woman. I mean, I don't think that even matters given the stakes. But I don't know her well. Pricilla?" He looked to his sister.
