Chapter 158 - EVO
***Tirnanog, Thich Fortress City***
***Magnus***
I blinked as I returned to consciousness in Gaia’s familiar dream world. The bungalow had already turned into a second home away from home as far as I was concerned, so I gave myself a few seconds to relax and acclimatize to the dream. Always waking up right after falling asleep was always a little disorienting.
Once I felt okay, I rose from the deck chair on the bungalow’s terrace. Then I turned and headed into the bungalow, hoping Astra would already be present to receive the daily update on what was happening at Thich City.
The dream was a welcome opportunity to stay up-to-date with my wife. The military aspect of our mission was already handled by the communication devices which the organisation brought with them when they left Earth.
I smiled when I heard familiar voices upon opening the glass door, leading inside.
“And I am telling you, I can hardly be held responsible if a few humans start an orgy,” Gaia exclaimed right as I entered the living room. “All I did was give them compatibility advice. It’s not like such services weren’t already offered by the local doctors. The only difference is that I am doing a much better job at it. Am I truly being ridiculed for improving the previously atrocious success rate?” The avatar rolled her eyes. “Humans are ridiculous.”
Astra tore at her hair, clearly frustrated. “It’s not like we are not thankful for what you are trying to do. But don’t you see that’s exactly the problem? Those people believe in you religiously and then what’s essentially their goddess tells them with whom they can do it, then what do you expect to happen among a population of people who have been living in enforced celibacy for their entire lives?”
“They could have always just taken the risk and fucked anyone they met on the street!” Gaia defended herself. “How am I to blame for them being afraid to try? As I see it, those early excesses are just the natural consequence of some nutjobs allowing it to go too far. It will sort itself out if you give it time.”
