The Second Machine
by Pan
Chapter 1:
"Ew," my 18-year old sister said, pushing me away in disgust. I quickly pressed the button as she stormed out and shouted back over her shoulder, "You're
so
gross!"
I'd been expecting that reaction. I was disappointed, but not surprised - after all, it was the sixth time I'd heard her say it. As far as my sister Edie was concerned, however, it was the first time I'd asked her to suck my cock - and the first time she'd rejected me.
People will call me a genius. They'll also call me a pervert, but that won't matter, because even as they object to following my every command, they'll obey.
Just like my sister.

The first machine had been pretty easy to build; if you know as much about the human brain as I do, you know exactly what wavelengths to transmit upon. Every thought we have is electricity, after all, and if you can manipulate electricity, you can manipulate thought.
What you can't do, I discovered after months of testing, is fine-tune people's thoughts. Can't be done - the alterations are too subtle. They're almost impossibly small, and the slightest error would cause the changes of a different thought. I'd tried for a long time, but I was finally forced to admit - I didn't have the "mind ray" that I wanted, able to rewrite people's thoughts based on my every whim.
But what I'd discovered while meddling was fascinating in itself - I'd learned that by transmitting on the opposite frequency to the hippocampus's electrical pulses, you can cancel them out - and as we all (should) know, the hippocampus is where long-term memory is stored.
As long as I hit you at the right time, you'll forget the last ten minutes ever happened. Gone, as if erased from time itself.
After confirming that it worked on rats, I tested it on myself - I used a video camera and a meticulously-kept diary. I had a memory eraser - useful, but I knew that there was more that I could do. The ability to alter the brain's impulses directly is an almost totally-unexplored field - probably for ethical reasons, but I wasn't letting that stop me.
I knew that I had the potential to do anything. Great and terrible acts.
And so I built the second machine.
You can't fine-tune people's reactions, write their thoughts like you're programming a computer: but what you can do is block the part of their brain that compels them to act on their reactions. I could never convince Obama to hate America, but I /could/ get him to unnoticingly obey my commands to destroy it. As long as he was focused on how much he loved the US, he wouldn't notice that his actions were contradicting his emotion.
At least, that was the theory. It wasn't quite working, but since my first machine let me replay the same moment again and again, I could keep on refining my experiment until I was successful.
The next day, Edie didn't blink an eye when I asked if I could use her as a "test subject". I knew she wouldn't - I'd asked her the same question the last 7 days in a row, and she was always happy to help out. As far as she was concerned, I was just her nerdy brother - and she was one of the few people who saw the potential of my genius.
I hooked her up to the machine, watched as it scanned her brain function, and made a few notes. Over the past week, I'd become extremely well-accustomed with my sister's brainwaves. Without even looking at her, I could read her exact emotions, just by watching the peaks and troughs of her mind.
Today I was sure that I'd made a break-through - instead of trying to diminish the activity, I'd altered the machine so that it amplified her real reaction, allowing my changes to slip through unnoticed, and (in the process) bring her emotions back down to a more normal level.
Either this would work, or she'd be so disgusted by the idea that she'd throw up.
Part of it, I can't deny, was simply because I was horny and my sister was hot. Edie has always had a body to kill for, and the few glimpses I've had of her curves have left me curious as to what's hidden underneath her stuffy clothes.
But the main reason for using my sister as a test subject was simple - if I could make her do something completely against her nature, then I knew that I could affect anyone, anywhere at any time. If I could get my sister to suck my cock, then the human race was mine to play with.
I set everything up, asked her a few sample questions, and then got to the moment of truth, if you will. (and believe me, I hoped that she would.)
"Edie," I said, my eyes darting back and forth between my computer and her face. "Suck my cock"
My finger was hovered over the machine that would ensure the past ten minutes hadn't happened as she responded.
"Ew!" she exclaimed, her inflection extremely familiar to me by now. "You're
so
gross."
But this time, instead of pushing me and storming out, she got down on her knees in front of me.

The portable version was, I had to admit, a bold move - but what's the point in complete control over someone if they have to be strapped into a machine while you do it?
Since the previous day, Edie hadn't said a thing about my odd request. She definitely hadn't forgotten - unlike in experiments 1--7, this one hadn't ended with me using the button, and I could tell from her demeanour that she remembered me asking her to suck me off.
If my hypothesis was correct, she wouldn't remember actually doing it - I was sure that she'd performed the blow-job completely unconsciously, even trying to talk once or twice while my cock was in her mouth. When it was done, I'd told her that she could leave, and she'd sarcastically thanked me, as if there had been nothing keeping her in the room in the first place.
Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do (short of erasing her memory) about her remembering that I'd asked for head, but we've always had an unspoken rule that we sort things out between ourselves. I think the last time one of us went to Mom was when she was 8, and the merciless teasing I'd given her for the next few months had ensured that it wouldn't happen again.
"Edie," I said, ignoring her glare and pressing the button on my new, portable device. "You've got a great body - you should take your clothes off and let me see it."
"What the hell is wrong with you??" she asked angrily, standing and beginning to unbutton her shirt. I tried to keep the look of triumph off my face. "First you ask me to...to blow you yesterday, and now this?"
She continued to rant and rave as the rest of her clothes hit the floor, and soon she was standing in front of me, completely starkers for the first time. I drank in the view, but knew that I had to hurry - there was too much to test before Mom came home, and I had some vital questions that needed answering before I could continue my experimentation.
"You can put your clothes back on," I said, and she looked confused for a second, before redressing in silence. When she was done, but before she could march out of the room, I continued.
"When Mom comes home, I want you to offer to cook dinner." I instructed her calmly.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, bro?" she exploded. "You are being so fucking weird at the moment - why the fuck would I do that? I hate cooking dinner. You know what, just leave me alone!"
