Video Over IP Permits South Pole Surgery

Henry Malmgren writes "Last week at the South Pole research station, we successfully completed knee surgery using a video over IP link back to the United States. The article is light on technical details, but what we did was to use a Polycom VTC unit to send a video signal to Raytheon Polar Services HQ in Colorado. Our signal went primarily over a Marisat satellite at T1 speeds, and then HQ redistributed the video to Boston via a dedicated ISDN line. We had signal problems several times during the transmission with Marisat, so we had to switch to a NASA TDRS satellite towards the end of the surgery. We also used an Iridium phone as a voice backup for the times when we couldn't get decent quality over either bird. During the surgery there were three cameras that we used to send back video to the states. One was the built in camera on the VTC unit, a second was a handheld Sony 8mm unit, and a third was a black and white "Doc Cam". This was a head mounted camera with a LED light unit that was built on station by our Senior Communications Technican, Jon Berry. This allowed the transmission of video from the Doctor's perspective. Unfortunately, while the Doc cam worked great locally, and we got great recordings of the surgery from it, it didn't work well over the satellite link. The camera view jumped around so much that it didn't compress well over the satellite link. The best video was obtained by putting the hand held camera on a tall tripod which was able to look directly into the surgical wound."

    "I'm a man!" I groaned. "I've been fucked by a man's cock! I'm not a boy anymore!"

    I scooped Dad's and Uncle Brian's shit into my hands and smeared my body with their warm filth. Lying on the floor of the basement, wallowing in the waste of these two men, I gazed up at the candles. They flickered silently. I lay at the foot of the cross as upon an altar where I was the victim being offered up to the God of raunch!

    Dad and Uncle Brian held me in their arms. Our filthy, smelly bodies rubbing against one another. My cock stirred and jerked upward within the confines of the leather jockstrap. I reached down and pulled it free, stroking it with my shit fillled hand.

    The warmth of manturd on my cock, the stench that wafted into my nostrils made my body tremble and my asshole, my dirty asshole, quivered at the sensation it had just felt for the very first time!

    My tight boy hole was no longer virgin territory. My father had filled me with his manhood and his seed. I belonged to him now in a special way.

    Reaching up to my Dad, I grasped the back of his neck with my shitty hand and drew his lips towards mine.

    "Am I a man now, Dad?" I whispered, as his lips grazed mine.

    "Yes, my son!" he answered, softly. "You are now a man!"

    Uncle Brian slid down, trailing wet kisses along my filth covered body. Closer and closer he slid his mouth towards my hard cock.

    "Mmmmmmmmmmmm!" I moaned, as he took my raunchy dick into his mouth and sucked. "Yeah! Suck my dirty dick, Uncle Brian! Fuckin' suck your shit off my dick!"

    I squirmed, thrusting my hips upwards, sinking my cock deep within my Uncle's mouth.

    As he sucked on my dick, he reached up and to his left, ramming his fingers up his brother's asshole!

    "Aaaaaahhhhhh!" Dad groaned, welcoming this intrusion. "Fuck! Give it to me Brian. Fist my shitty hole!"

    Slowly, Dad got up on all fours. He positioned himself over me, his cock hanging over my mouth.

    "My fuckhole is so hungry, Brian! I need your fist up my ass!"

    Uncle Brian took his mouth off of my dick and knelt between my outstreatched legs and Dad's upturned ass. He worked several fingers in and out of Dad's asshole. The pasty goo oozing out of Dad's shithole served as lube as Uncle Brian inserted all five of his fingers in Dad's butthole!

    "Fuck yeah! Give it to me, little brother! More!" Dad groaned, pushing his hairy ass back onto Uncle Brian's disappearing fingers. The knuckles penetrated. Dad maoned out loud and reached for the bottle of Rush.

    I could hear him inhaling the vapors from the bottle deeply. I sucked his cock into my mouth.

    "Ah fuck!" Dad cried out, as my head jerked upward to swallow his semi-hard cock and Uncle Brian's hand sunk into Dad's gaping, hungry hole!

    "How's that feel, brother?"

    "Fuckin' wonderful, Brian! Fuck me! Punch my ass, little brother!"

    Uncle Brian scooped some of the shit from my body and coated his arm with it. Sighing with animal lust he began fucking Dad's ass with his fist.

    "More! More!" Dad grunted, pushing his ass back taking more of Uncle Brian's arm up his ass. "Find something up there you like, Brian?"

    "I feel shit, Chris!" Uncle Brian yelled, "I can feel your fuckin' butt slop!"

    "Yeah! Dig for shit, little brother! Dig for my stinking shit! That's your playground, Brian! Give it to me, fucker! Punch my dirty ass!"

    Uncle Brian pistoned his fist in and out of Dad's ass. When he withdrew his hand completely I could feel Dad's warm shit oozing out of his asshole onto my dick. I sucked his cock harder.

    "Yeah! You fuckiin' cocksucker! Suck my dick, Philip! Suck it while your Uncle fists my shitty asshole!"

    "Fuckin' shit pigs!" Uncle Brian shouted. "We're fuckin' dirty pigs!"

    "Fist my raunchy ass, Brian! Shove your fuckin' arm up my dirty ass!"

    Uncle Brian lunged forward. Dad's greedy hole swallowed his brother's arm up to the elbow!

    "Yes! Yes! You fuckin' bitch! Pound my ass, Brian! Suck my fuckin' dick, Philip! Don't stop! Please don't stop, the both of you! Aaaaaahhhhhh! Fuck!"

    Uncle Brian and I worked in unison giving pleasure to Dad. The one fisting; the other sucking; Dad moaning in ecstacy.

    "Need more!" Dad yelled. "I wanna feel Philip's fist up my ass with yours too!"

    I gasped as Dad pulled his dick out of my mouth.

    "Get back there with your Uncle, Philip, and shove your fist up my hungry asshole! I want you both at the same time!"

    I wiggled myself from beneath my Dad and knelt beside my Uncle Brian whose arm was embedded in his brother's shithole.

    "There's some crisco in the toy bag, Philip. Lube your hand up with it."

    I retrieved the can and proceded to grease up my hand and forearm.

    "Are you ready, Philip?"

    "Oh yeah!" I hissed as Uncle Brian retracted his arm to his wrist.

    "Fuck me, guys!" Dad hollered, "I wanna feel the both of you up my ass digging for shit!"

    "Slide your fingers up your Dad's ass, one at a time, Philip. Do it slow. Take your time. When you're all the way in, hold my hand!"

    I did as I was told. One finger at a time.

    "Fuck! Fuck!" Dad yelled. "Give it to me, son!"

    Slowly, my hand disappeared into the gaping, dirty hole. My hand slid alongside that of my Uncle's and he curled his fingers around mine.

    "Ah shit!" Dad let out a loud gasp. He looked back at us, his eyes glazed with lust. "Fucking pigs!" he screamed. "Fuck me! Fist fuck my shitty ass!"

    In tandem, Uncle Brian and I pumped our fists deeper and deeper into the willing, hungry asshole. As we fisted Dad's ass, Uncle Brian kissed me deeply. Our mouths greedily sucking each other's tongues as our fists punched away in the sewer of my Dad's filthy butthole.

    "Aaaaaahhhhhh! Yeeeeessssss! Yeah! Pound my motherfuckin' dirty ass! Fuck me! Dig the shit outta my ass, you fuckin' sluts! Fuckin' pigs!"

    As I gazed upwards, the candles flickered softly, casting their glow upon the cross which the three of us, eerily were kneeling before. Together, we were upon the altar of Raunch. A new sacrificial lamb was being offered up to the God of Shit!

    I clasped my Uncle Brian's huge, uncut cock in my free hand and began stroking.

    "Jack me off, Philip! Make me cum!"

    I pull and pull on his cock, milking the pre-cum from his pisshole. He reaches for my dick and returns the favor. Stroke for stroke, we masturbate one another as we bury our fists up Dad's filthy asshole.

    A million shocks of pleausure envelope my body. I'm tingling all over. So much has happened to me tonight. So many new discoveries. Pain with pleasure. Pleasure with pain!

    The journey that began several months ago has opened up for me a whole new world that I embrace willingly.

    "Yes! Yes! Jack me off too, Uncle Brian! I wanna cum again!"

    Together, the three of us pull on cocks. We are untied, bound together in a very special union.

    "Fuck! Fuck!" we gasp in unison, "I'm gonna fuckin' shoot!"

    Our bodies heave and tremble. Dad impales himself more deeply upon mine and Uncle Brian's fists as he ejaculates upon the floor.

    One by one. One right after another, our cocks explode sending ropes of cum flying in the air.

    As Uncle Brian and I retract our hands from Dad's ass, a slurping sound is heard. His puckering bud flares and a foul smelling fart hisses from his fisted hole. It's stink fills my nostrils as I collapse onto him, my mouth at his asshole. Sucking. Nursing at the brown shit log he's pushing out of his asshole into my mouth.

    I tumble onto the floor, my mouth filled with Dad's shit. Uncle Brian collapses beside me and kisses me deeply. A sloppy, slurping shit kiss. Dad too, crashes to the floor, panting heavily in the aftermath of his orgasm. He moans and releases a flow of warm piss that streams its way towards Uncle Brian and I.

    I am in heaven! The journey of a boy to manhood is completed.

    Epilogue

    January 1, 2000

    It's cold outside. The wind is whipping snow against the window. I'm making this enty into my journal sitting on a rim seat gazing at the falling snow.

    Dad is under the rim seat receiving my morning dump, the way he always does, in his hungry mouth!

    As for Uncle Brian. He lives here with Dad and I now. He's our lover. We're each other's lovers. Strange isn't it, how things come about?

    As Dad feeds from my asshole, Uncle Brian is sucking on my pissing cock. Outside, the snow is swirling. Everything is beautiful. What more could a sixteen-year-old teenage boy ask for?

    You tell me!
