I didn't smile, at least not fully. It did dawn on me just what this all meant, and Even though my parents, and especially my mother, had taught me to respect women, The idea was very appealing.
I did, however, manage to keep my facial expression under control as she turned around, and looked at me with a critical eye, "Good... you don't find this amusing or funny... if you had, i would have boxed you around and had you locked up for 10 years"
I raised my eyebrows and looked at her skeptically, she shrugged and turned back to her desk, "In any case, I am glad that you are serious about this... There may be big problems in the future, after the rest of the population gets over their shock and realizes that YOU are the only male..."
I nod, "you realize that all of our old social systems probably won't work... "
She nodded and threw up her hands, "Yes, yes... let's discuss this later... Go see my secretary for your work assignment, and go back to your quarters"
I wonder why she suddenly got so defensive and put out, but I shrug and obey, turning about and leaving her office. Because of the revelation that I am the only male, I begin to see all the females around me in new light. In the office, her secretary is busy typing away at a computer terminal, and there is a mother and her three daughters sitting in chairs.
I look at them strangely, then i notice a sign on the wall labeled Medical-Bay, and I assume they are waiting to enter.
I turn to the woman, or rather young lady that is sitting at the secretary's desk. She is pretty, with carmel hair, and deep blue eyes. Several strands of her hair have fallen in front of her face as she types, and she keeps blowing them out of the way. The girl, for she doesn't look much older than early teens, looks at me, "Your work assignment is Technical Maintenance... Level B. And you need to have a medical check before you go to work, please wait there until the doctor is ready." She points to the door and I nod.
I take a seat and wait...
