A Strange Planet called Zigrida Pt. 03

Ia'lena said, "Why are you telling me this?" She said the DNA we got from Noi'plita's sperm sac is much different than the usual male's sperm. Its molecular chromosomes numbers differ, making it much more vital.

Our male's chromosomes are arranged in 38 with 18 pairs and three sex chromosomes, two female one male.

The male you found has 46 arranged in 23 pairs and two sex chromosomes; Noi'plita and Tlipion. Your sisters are having girls because, in us, the girl chromosomes are dominant. With just minor differences, both your sisters will be having babies that look 90% like themselves.

As you know, it takes eight months to have a baby, but this new DNA creates babies much faster, five months gestation.

She went on to say this is just amazing.

The one difference is we can hold our male one's life seed in the Sac compartment indefinitely until used. The male one you found sperm lasts a week, then it disintegrated. The commission sends us to your people asking for help finding the male. She said," Everyone is looking for him, aren't they? Aa'luan responded by saying we have sent the word out, that no one can catch males, for now, only the Azulla's male-one, and only the Azulla's allowed to capture him.

Ia'lena said." Of course, we will do what our leadership requests. Aa'luna left.

Back on the ship

Scott in his room, using the intercom, requested Lisa and Mellissa to meet him in the conference room to go over research findings and strategies.

Both were replying yes, Commander. Lisa placed the ship on the auto navigator.

In the conference room, they all met; Scott said, Okay, Lisa report.

Lisa's report, A Bot, was sent to the dark moon's surface performing research on the light rock mineral, still waiting for its information. Also, nothing regarding the radio wave.

Mellissa looked at them both. After extensive bioanalysis of the commanders' specimens, I have a lot to go over; it determined cell regenerative properties from some of the elements when the Commander met the people in his little mission to the planet.
As you know, looking at Scott, you said for me, "To use all necessary resources." I restructured some repair bots, making this a team effort going around the clock. I want you to look at the review screen.

Both Lisa and Scott looked up, eyeing it, what they saw was Steve, the Engineer!

Mellissa continued, I needed a specimen to, pardon my technical terms, I know he was; I mean, he is our friend and member of the ship.

Brain cells, among others to conduct experiments to determine if they will restart. Your placing the body in cold storage put all his cells in hibernation. None of his cells are disintegrating; as she looked back at the viewscreen, she went on, the bots perform all kinds of analysis, as you can see. We used three cells in a petri dish; the screen then zeroed in on one chamber holding a compartment under the microscope.

Mellissa said, "it's alive and regenerating.

A frozen stare with wide eyes! was the look on both Lisa and commander Scott's faces

Mellissa went on, I can produce a few hundred regenerative cells, but Steve's body needs millions, and it must get done before the other cells die, when out of the hibernating cold, and that is 5 minutes.

I need a specimen for a complete blood transfusion; she looked at Scott; Commander, we will need one of the females from the planet's surface, sir. We could get both Steve and Mike back, then find a way to get through the radiation barrier, looking at Commander Scott with shoulders back and unblinking eyes.

The Commander said, "We have no choice." Looking at Lisa, anything else you wish to add.

Yes, I am going with you; the last time you were caught and abused, right? Scott thought, yes, you better.

A merger between Commander Scott and Ia'lena

The time arrived for him to contact Ia'lena; she was in her room again. It was at night; everyone was in bed. She was not worried about anyone hearing as the walls were soundproof. The blue light lit up; her heart was excited and pounding when she said hello?

It's Scott, the male-one I called as promised.

Ia'lena said," Hi."

Scott said," One of our other male-ones is sick and needs help."

Ia'lena noted," We do have bio chambers for any sickness but haven't used them since the radiation. These saved some males; it's just that the devastation hit so fast we didn't have time to protect them all."

Scott thought to himself," perfect." I'll get her to come to the ship willingly, taking some pressure off his conscience.

Ia'lena thought to herself," Oh my, I can catch them all, a whole group of them," with a tight-lipped smile. Then, with a staring look at this tracking pin, she said," I will need something from you; if you say no, then I will not help you."

Scott unconsciously knew what it was. Saying to her," I have no choice? I will."

Ia'lena then, with a soft giggle, said. "Meet me here tomorrow night at this same time. Come to the window on the right side of the organic house with the tent leaf tree. Please make no mistake; the other girls will turn you in. You have already gotten them both pregnant."

With her thinking, next, it is going to be me. She turned off the pin.

The Commander asked," Lisa, are you ready? Do you know the plan?"

Yes, "We will continue stealth to the house. You go inside, and I wait 5 minutes, come up to the window and stun her. With the extra suit, take her back to the ship."

"Great!" the Commander said.
