Jodie took a deep breath as she stood outside commander Blake's office. She knew that today was the day, the day when everything would change. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm her nerves before she stepped inside.

As she was escorted into the office, Jodie couldn't help but notice the unfamiliar face sitting next to commander Blake. She furrowed her brows in confusion, wondering who this person was. But before she could ask, commander Blake introduced her.

'Jodie, this is General Cox,' he said, gesturing towards the high-ranking officer in front of her. 'He will be leading our mission.'

'It's an honor to meet you, sir,' Jodie said with a salute.

General Cox nodded his acknowledgement before turning to the other person in the room.

'And this is Lieutenant Jane,' he said, a small smile gracing his lips.

Jodie's breath caught in her throat as she saw Jane for the first time in three days. They had been inseparable since they first met during training, but their secret relationship had to be put on hold when they were assigned to different missions.

Their eyes met and both of their faces lit up with joy. Jodie and Jane's love was forbidden, but in that moment, all their worries and fears melted away as they were reunited.

Jodie will be joining your team, Lieutenant,' General Cox said, breaking the moment between the two women. 'I expect the best from both of you.'

Jane's heart dropped at the news. She knew this meant that Jodie would be going on the dangerous mission with her. She dreaded the thought of Jodie being in harm's way, and the thought of her being responsible for Jodie's safety on the battlefield weighed heavily on her heart.

Jodie, on the other hand, felt a mix of emotions. She was thrilled to be working with Jane, but also worried about her safety. They had only known each other for a few days, but their bond was already so strong that the thought of anything happening to either of them was unbearable.

Commander Blake continued, 'As you are both aware, we only have time travel capacity of four and it's a one-way trip. Myself, General Cox, and you two, my two finest marines, will be facing this mission together.'

Lieutenant Jane interrupted, 'Sir, may I speak?'

'Yes, Lieutenant, continue,' replied Commander Blake.

'I'm a little confused as to why Jodie has been selected for this high-priority mission. She's been in training for less than a week. Why put a rookie on such a delicate operation? I could choose one of my finest men who have had twenty years of combat experience.'

Commander Blake replied with a smile, 'How did Jodie do in her training, Lieutenant?'

'Well, sir, I've never seen anything like it. She excelled at every turn. In my sixteen years in the military, I've never seen a commando or a marine with such ability,' Jane responded.

'And did Jodie not defeat you in unarmed combat?' asked Commander Blake.

'Yes, sir, she did,' Jane admitted.

'Exactly. Jodie may be a rookie, but she is a natural-born leader and an exceptional fighter. I have no doubt that she will make a great addition to our team on this mission,' said Commander Blake confidently.

But then, Commander Blake's expression changed. He turned to Jodie, who was standing silently in the corner, and said, 'However, there is something you need to know about Jodie before the mission.'

Jodie's heart skipped a beat. She feared that her secret would be revealed. She had been dreading this moment. She looked at Blake with pleading eyes, silently telling him not to reveal her secret.

But Blake continued, 'Jodie is half machine.'

Jodie's head dropped in shame and she felt a tear escape her eye. She had wanted to tell Jane the truth, but she had orders to keep her true identity a secret.

'I wanted to tell you, I really did,' Jodie said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jane, who had a deep dislike for the machines due to her family being killed by the hands of Sky-Sex, reached for her side arm in shock. But she didn't draw it, as Commander Blake quickly calmed her down.

'Jodie is on our side. And she's more human than machine,' Blake assured Jane. He then proceeded to brief Jane on Jodie’s story.

Once Jane caught up with Jodie's story, she was completely taken aback. She looked at Jodie with a mixture of disappointment and admiration. Jodie, sensing Jane's feelings, had a look of apology on her face. Jane's initial shock and skepticism slowly turned into understanding and acceptance. She realized that Jodie was a valuable asset to the team, and her personal biases should not get in the way of the mission. she couldn't help but still be mesmerised by Jodie's beauty, and all she could think of was taking Jodie back to her quarters and suck on her little pussy.

But before Jane could act on her desires and take Jodie back to her quarters, their commanding officer, Commander Blake, interrupted with the mission plan. The serious atmosphere brought Jane back to reality and reminded her of their duty as soldiers.

Although she was still captivated by Jodie, Jane knew that their focus had to be on the mission at hand. With a heavy heart, she pushed her desires aside and listened to Commander Blake's instructions. They had a job to do and there would be time for personal matters later.

Commander Blake spoke with determination. Tomorrow morning, the four of us will travel back in time to 2039, specifically to January 12th, just under three weeks before the activation of Sky-Sex. Our first objective is to locate General Cox's younger self at his home. Before the world descended into chaos, General Cox was a skilled military strategist and held a position at NATO representing the US Air Force. We will inform him about the dire future that awaits mankind and persuasively convince him to aid us in our mission by providing us with troops and necessary equipment.

Lieutenant Jane interjected, expressing concern about the possibility of being detained for security breaches.

General Cox assured her, stating that once he sees his future self and understands the gravity of the situation, he will be easily persuaded. He also added that his younger self has always been sexually deviant and will be immensely drawn to Jodie.

Jodie then voiced her own concern, as any sexual contact she has with males leaves them infertile. General Cox responded by revealing that he was born infertile and thus, it will not be an issue. He even joked about wanting to feed Jodie his cum right then and there, but was unable to due to his impotence. He assured his team that if they can use Jodie's seductive powers and persuade his younger self that they are offering her sexuality as a gift, then he will be putty in their hands.

Lieutenant Jane stared at Jodie with an envious gaze, the thought of Jodie having sex, especially fucking another man made her stomach churn. But she knew this was all for the mission's sake. Commander Blake explained that General Cox had a dangerous weapon, a satellite D.E.W. that could release an EMP pulse cannon.

On the day of the assault, just five minutes before they reached the island, General Cox would launch an EMP blast. This would disable all electrical equipment on the island, including their air defenses and ability to send out any distress signals.

Although the EMP blast should also disable and scramble Sky-Sex’s mainframe, they couldn't take any chances leaving her intact. With their boots on the ground, they would plant C-4 explosives to completely destroy Sky-Sex and the lab it resided in. It was a risky mission, but they had to succeed for the safety of humanity.

As Commander Blake's voice echoed through the briefing room, the tension could be felt in the air. His words were heavy with the weight of responsibility, and everyone present knew the gravity of the mission ahead.

'We've estimated that around thirty armed troops will be on patrol on the island,' he said, his eyes scanning the faces in front of him. 'They won't be particularly skilled, just your average infantry with no real combat experience.'

The room fell silent as Commander Blake continued, 'All of the new worlds have voted unanimously that the life of thirty soldiers are expendable for the future of the human race. All threats on the island are viable targets. Shoot to kill.'

Lieutenant Jane and Jodie exchanged a look, both understanding the magnitude of what was being asked of them. But as soldiers, they knew their duty and were willing to sacrifice everything for the greater good.

'Once the mission is a success, we have no idea what will happen to the timeline,' Commander Blake continued. 'What will happen to us in the past, or what will happen to everyone here in the present. We won't know what memories we will have of the mission. All we know is that Sky-Sex will cease to exist. All we can suggest is that if you have any unfinished business or want to make peace with any friends, family, or loved ones, you should do this tonight. We will see you tomorrow at 8am. We are the future of the human race.'

With those final words, the room erupted in a chorus of 'sir, yes sir' as both Jane and Jodie stood to attention, saluting their superiors. From the corner of her eye, Jane could see a tear forming in Jodie's eye, but she quickly blinked it away. They both knew they had a job to do.

As they left the briefing room, the weight of their mission hung heavy on their shoulders. But they were determined to give it their all, for the future of humanity rested on their success. They could only hope that the sacrifice of thirty soldiers was enough to secure a better tomorrow.
