Prologue
 
 

Dear Wayne,
 
 

You read your incoming? If you don't I'm going to have the System nudge you on this one. This is Cynthia.
 
 

I wish to formally express my appreciation for your efforts in my behalf in our encounter yesterday. I was most gratified with each activity in which we were engaged. For me personally, it was satisfying in the highest degree possible, and is now among my most treasured experiences. Thanks. I needed that.
 
 

The treat I have for you is news of Debbie, your old girlfriend, who left you at the factory. You have been led to believe she joined the Sisterhood, and have sniffed around from time to time trying to find out her Sisterhood name so you could communicate with her. She has now informed me she will be willing to communicate with you as soon as I havecleared the atmosphere of Earth. That is so imminent that I am probably off-planet as you read this.
 
 

I told you I was going on a long trip. It is a space trip, a high-risk venture. Even if it works as planned, it will be several years before I get back. I have chosen to straighten out my affairs on Earth. I have freed all my personal slaves, and your Debbie will be the last of them when I lift off. She has been on my staff since she left you.

 

Personal service in the Sisterhood is a voluntary association, a matter of vows. From time to time the subservient party has honest opportunities to renounce the relationship at will. Debbie has remained very loyal to me at all times, even at the risk of her own life. Our personal relationship has been one of total love. She has proved she is capable of rare dedication, from which I now release her.

 

What she does will be up to her. It is important for you to realize how true that is. She can have the whole weight of the Sisterhood behind her if she wants it, and the Sisterhood kicks ass. If she tells you to get lost, you do that. Take it easy for a little while, make sure you're still friends before you try being lovers again. She has been right in the center of some of the strangest events the world has ever seen. Emotionally, she has seen a lot of heavy weather. It would be good for her to relax.
 
 

Wayne, I think you should be prepared for the very strong possibility that she will spend a little time with you and then she will join the Sisterhood. I need to make it clear that she has never taken the oath as a Novice of the Sisterhood; she is not officially a Sister. The vows she took were to me individually. These having expired, she is completely free of all obligation in the eyes of the Goddess. Knowing the ways of the world, you are aware that the Sisterhood has a security interest in her. You won't be able to just vanish with her, but you can come and go as you please if she wants to go with you.
 
 

What may draw her back to the Sisterhood is her social status within the Order. She is respected by just about everybody, and there are some who love her. She may try to persuade you to join too, and if you consider that option let me add my urging to hers. The Sisters like you a lot, and not just for sex. You have been working with us quite a while, so you're used to our ways. Surrendering to the Goddess means becoming a sex object, and learning to accept pain. Those of us who know you don't think that would break you. We all think you could be whipped into becoming a pretty good dude.

 

Debbie isn't the same girl you knew. A helpful hint: don't, repeat don't get in any fights with her, until she's had time to bring you up to speed on her standing in Sisterhood combat sports. She's a contender, and quite frankly you could use a bit of training. I let you skate in a couple of passes yesterday where our darling Debbie would have cleaned your clock. Until you've figured out whether to believe me or not, just try not to piss her off.
 
 

She almost certainly has lost her ability to have an orgasm in a passive sex role without first experiencing pain. That is an unfortunate side effect of some of our sexual conditioning. I don't think it will wear off very soon, but miracles have happened. My best advice is to give her what she needs. Hurt her and let her come. It might make you sad to do that, but it is a lot easier to live with Debbie when she's happy. I lived with her longer than you did, remember.

 

You still don't know exactly who I really am, do you? I asked the System to write up some information you needed to know, and was surprised at the sensitive nature of the material produced. Also the amount; it's a meg of data. I checked with our security office, and they verified your clearance for this information. These selections would indicate a rather high initiation level if you were a sworn member of our Order.
 
 

Just for your information, I feel this means somebody in the Heirarchy has her eye on you. I think somebody is prepping you for some task, so keep your feelers out for some opportunity to pop open in front of you in the near future. That's just a guess, but I've made a kind of career out of guessing right.
 
 

Regardless, you should remain aware that having these documents doesn't make you a newspaper. Remain sensitive to the issues involved: we're still a secret society and we do kick some ass.
 
 

All my best to you and Debbie.
