😈

All caught up with this hot and seductive story! Mark may be having some fun and getting turned on, but I wonder if he thinks he is still ultimately in control - doing this for the monetary pay off while getting his rocks off at the same time. Alphas like a game, especially if they are cocky enough to believe they ultimately control the outcome. Can't wait to see how Mark's oral training plays out and then his trip with Bonerboy to their Master's house!

Thanks for sharing this amazing trailer! I noticed a similar scene in "Terminator 4", but unfortunately, it only included partial shots. However, after watching it, I realized I had previously seen a fan-made version by chance that was remade with a more muscular and rubbery look. It really turns me on, and I think you guys wouldn't want to miss it. So, I will include a link to that version -- just click [HERE](https://x.com/gymjunkiemuscle/status/1686096359089176582). Assembly lines and molding machines have always played an important role in my kink, though I never had a clear concept of them. But the elaborated depict of molding machine process in this chapter enriched one of my favorite kinks, and made it come to life. I'm captivated by both your writing skills and the attention to detail you've put into this (even though I'm not a native English speaker). Also, the Deja vu that Scott mentioned really piqued my interest, but I have totally no idea of it yet. Can't wait for the next chapter. Lastly, I have to say I feel tooooo fortunate that you, Rubbrsome, share the exact same kink as I do. Thanks for taking us on a ride through the epic drone world you've created that we all love, as always. FYI, I seem find a typo. "His gut hung far over his waste", does it mean "waist" IIUC?

The biggest problem is having to wait for the next chapter.

I love the slow built suspense of the series. I wonder if “one last chance to pleasure yourself” means there will be some form of chastity in the upcoming chapters. Also really dig the form-fitting and tightness during the measurements… it suggests a type of bondage (only thing missing I think was “shirt stays”. I hope the upcoming chapters goes into a bit more detail with these details. Also hopefully we will hear more about what’s going on in the main characters head as this is happening. Keep up the good work!

While I cannot remember much of this story, I instantly remembered the Law of Response. I remember that when writing, sometimes the story just takes on a life of its own. As a writer, you don't really plan out specific details. And when I was writing this chapter, the Law of Response just came out on its own. It was a "holy shit where did that come from" moment. I especially like how each response triggers the next response. And I wondered if I subconsciously got this from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. If you know that film, there's a moment in which Yoda warns a young Anakin Skywalker: "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." But in this case, I wanted to take that idea of cause and effect, and turn it into a perpetual-kinky-drone loop. And I've always liked the idea of the human mind being programmed at its most basest level. If you do something acceptable, the mind and body are rewarded. While unacceptable is punished. I just think it's human nature to comply, quickly fall in line and be programmed. Re-reading this chapter definitely hit most of my kinks. I hope it works for you. Oh ... and before I forget ... Chapter 4 will post on September 7th.

Well this concludes another story. Just because the previous chapter may have disappointed some readers, I knew I could still end the series on a better note. Obviously Scott didn't join the System as a drone, his mind could still be used to run simulations for potential threats. While he isn't a drone, he is still part of the System. And what's great .. he doesn't even know it. Meanwhile, his body is being used completely separately from his mind. I remember that when I wrote this, I was very happy with the outcome. The Matrix really influenced this ending, of course. Anyways, I hope you readers enjoyed this trip down memory lane. For some of you, this story is completely new. And for others, I hope you still enjoyed it as if reading it for the first time. I certainly did.

When editing this chapter, I was frankly shocked at the conclusion. I did not expect Scott to fail his test. As a reader, I want Scott to join the System. Not only does he fail to become a drone, but by the end, he is actively trying to destroy the System. What the fucking hell?! I think, at the time, I had already written quite a few stories in which the protagonist transforms into a mindless drone. And I probably wanted to do something different. So I had asked myself: what happen to those men that don't succeed? We've seen what happens to the Mike Hartmans of the group. We know what happens to when you become a drone. So what happens to the others? Where do their stories go? I also think I may have been doing something else with this story which may have been a little risky. I probably disappointed a few of my readers by not taking the easy way out. I think for any guy to read this story, and be really bummed out that Scott didn't become a drone, then it (in a way) affirms that you (the reader) should be a drone. That in a way, reading this story is "your" test. It measures where your mind is at. After reading about Scott's failure, and if you felt bummed out, then you were probably meant to be a drone or definitely belonged on this website. However, if you cheered at Scott's rebelliousness, then maybe you don't have the heart of a sub or would oppose the idea of being a drone. Looking back, I think I wrote this story for me first. I was measuring my own reaction against my writing. I really wanted Scott to be that drone, and I was measuring my disappointment that he didn't become one. In real life, there have been several instances in bondage scenes in which I haven't fully trusted the dom, and therefore haven't fully given myself over to the scene and completely surrendered myself. And in those moments, I came to question whether I wanted to be a boi, a slave, or a drone. Doubt starts to creep in, and you really start to re-evaluate what you want, what are you goals, and what kind of person you are. Do you fully trust the Dom or Master, and are willing to give them absolute control? Does any doubt remain? In this chapter, Scott's mindset was not there. But in reading it, I wondered and measured whether my mindset was. I hope that makes sense.

Hot. As. Fuck. I keep coming back to this series and love where it begins, the innocent oblivious jocks are just too cute, and the way you set things up like dominoes just waiting for that one push.... the scenes in here leave me feeling needy, and curious to how it might feel, don't think I'll be able to see a baseball bat and not blush and wonder after this for a pretty long time.
