✅ Project SETI: Surrogates for Extra-Terrestrial Insemination

Part XVII: Eye of the Storm

          Soon enough, it was just Julia and Gabriel, working to ride out the effects of the anesthesia and revive Nova. Julia had taken over compressions when yet another round passed with no response from him.

          "I'm going to try the anesthesia reversal agent," Gabriel said urgently as he moved over to the pharmaceutical counter to draw it up.

          "Adjust for the overdose as best you can," Julia reminded him.

          He drew up a larger syringe, a 3mL chamber full to the brim, and promptly inserted it into the port. It was a thick substance that took a bit longer than usual to push through. When he was done, he undid the restraint on that arm so he could hold it up. Julia stopped compressions to see if it had any immediate effect.

          "For fuck's sake," Gabriel growled when everything still came up alarms and zeroes. He felt a lot of frenetic energy in that moment; he wanted to be a part of the resuscitation effort, but the near-painful throbbing in his rock-hard member was screaming to do otherwise. "You good to continue CPR for now?"

          "Yes," Julia replied. She continued to do that very thing. "Remember... the reversal agent is a long-acting thing. If we can ride this out until it takes full effect..."

          "You'll hang on, won't you, sweetheart?" Gabriel said to Nova. He briefly caressed his face as he found the table's console nearby and adjusted it so that it would sit a little lower, and then he spread Nova's legs so he could fuck him properly. "You're going to show me just how strong you can be."

          He threw his pants toward a wall and moved a fold on his boxers so that his dick was unimpeded. When he was done, the table had finished adjusting, so he promptly inserted himself inside of Nova. He shivered at the warmth and wetness that enveloped him, and noticed in the same moment that the table's lower height was actually assisting Julia and her short stature, too.

          "I'm going to try epi again," Julia said when she completed the cycle.

          She rushed away, drew it up, and rushed back, all in less than a minute. Gabriel continued to thrust into Nova in the meantime with his hands resting on his large, distended belly. He pressed into it with his fingers occasionally and could still feel signs of life within—and he found himself oddly overstimulated from palpating his bump and fucking him at the same time. He idly thought that Nova would enjoy watching it later—he wouldn't even allow himself to consider that he wouldn't see the other side of the code.

          Gabriel turned to watch the monitor when the asystole alarm broke to show a premature ventricular contraction. It traces another a few seconds later, followed by something that wanted to be sinus, but it quickly grew weak and highly irregular.

          "I'm going to shock him," Julia warned as she reached to adjust the defibrillator. "Are you going to—?"

          "Nope," Gabriel said over the hum of the device charging. "Do it."

          Julia pressed the discharge button without saying anything, and Gabriel cried out when he felt Nova's body contract from the inside and simultaneously saw him spasm in front of him. He held very still afterward—the edge came on so fast from that alone, he almost didn't have time to stop and side-step it.

          Julia let out a short disgruntled sigh when the monitor showed even more PVCs that quickly gave out into atrial fibrillation. "Shocking again at three-hundred joules."

          Gabriel loudly sucked air through his teeth when Nova jerked around again while he was inside of him. He felt something tingly at the tip of his dick, and he wondered if it was the electrical current or something different. The monitor blared asystole again, but Gabriel didn't stop pushing into him—he acknowledged it, on some level, but on another very real and present level, he felt like this is what Nova would have wanted from him right now.
