Repopulated Ch. 07

Her part was simply to breed more eggs that would be injected with the mysterious gene altering fluid and given to the Tonkains to spread to new victims. Given time, they should be able to free enough converted humans to take the fight to the aliens, but she wasn't sure how that would work.

She had considered that Doris had lied to them, but if she had, there was very little she could do about it - not until the woman revealed her actual plans, which she was hoping was about to happen.

The voice paused, then began again. "Attention, everyone! You are desired at the central hub for an important announcement," the voice purred in English. "This affects all of us equally, so attendance is mandatory. You will find it impossible to disobey. Come."

Kate blinked as she got to her feet, obeying as naturally as she breathed, the creature about her neck giving her a solid squeeze. Well, that was an unwelcome feeling. She hasn't been forced to do anything by her symbiote in quite some time.

She was disappointed in Doris for using them this way, but she supposed she couldn't blame her. If she really was finally going to reveal her plans, everyone would need to know.

Jackie frowned as she lowered her arm, her breasts bobbing as she spun around on her foot. "I'm getting quite tired of this," she complained, the two of them marching for the door, which irised open for them.

Kate sped up, linking an arm through hers as they wandered out into the passageway. They were soon joined by more converted humans, two of them hugging each other as their legs moved as one. They were dressed similarly to Kate, and the one on the right gave her a wide smile.

"It's good to see you, Kate! I'm pleased to see that you two are still a happy couple," he rumbled in a masculine voice.

This appeared at odds with his statuesque figure, though the way the other alien was leaning on his arm gave him a masculine air. It was nice to know that being converted into an alien hadn't changed everything about him.

She glanced at his belly and blushed. "It looks like the two of you are getting along just fine. I suppose I don't have to ask. I can easily imagine what you've been getting up to."

"Indeed," he growled, patting his wife's arm. "She's quite frisky and inventive with her new... appendage."

His face began to glow a dark blue and Kate decided not to press him further. This was getting too weird for her, though they were going to have to figure out how to handle it at some point. There was no getting away from the fact that they were all identical, busty aliens sporting tremendously huge and sexy dicks.

Janice pressed into his side. "It took him a long while to admit how much he likes it, but now we're both top flight breeders! We've even been complimented on the number of eggs we've produced!"

That was an odd metric to be proud of, but Kate let it pass. "Do you have any idea what this is about?" she asked, gesturing at the corridor ahead.

"No," exclaimed Janice, her eyes darting away. "We haven't seen anything of our overlords since that day we had that melee."

She squeezed at Ben's arm. "He punched one of those guards in the face! I thought for sure he'd be pulled aside and punished for it, but nothing has happened. It's almost as though everything has been swept under the rug."

"It probably has," growled Ben. "I have to say I don't really trust this Doris character or whatever faction they belong to. They might very well be worse than the aliens who promulgated this invasion in the first place!"

"I seriously hope not!" shuddered Kate, remembering what Khanja had almost forced her to do. "I don't believe it. None of us has been harmed or forced to do anything we dislike, so I think we should wait and see what she has to say for herself."

"Yes," murmured Jackie, "but it doesn't bode well that she's compelling us to show up. That means she's set herself up as the local warlord. She might be working for them."

"That's a grim thought," Ben said, his eyes glowing a more intense blue. "If she tries anything, we'll give her a fight she doesn't expect."

Kate liked his optimism, but if Doris really had seized control, there was probably little they could do. She shook her head. "We're almost there. Let's stop all this speculation and ask her."

They stepped over a fleshy tube on their way back into the audience chamber where they had seen the fall of Khanja the week before. The display screen had been repaired, and the stage was empty, lit by a series of circular spotlights

Coupled pairs of muttering breeders circled the periphery. She recognized a few of them from their rest periods down below, though she didn't know them well. It was interesting how all walks of life were represented among their numbers, from janitors to white collar businessmen.

The aliens didn't appear to have been picky, or perhaps they had been looking for attributes that didn't align with human markers of status. At the very least, they were all couples, which in the end may have been the only differentiating factor they cared about.

Preexisting sets of lovers did make the most sense for a population you were planning on continuously breeding. Kate swallowed, suddenly realizing that all of this wasn't as random as she had originally thought.

The spotlights moved to the center of the platform, highlighting a dark, circular hole. The whispers of the crowd faded as a whirring noise filled the room.

The platform was moving, revealing the form of a converted human standing proud next to a large cage which was covered in a draped, blue sheet. She raised her head and clapped her hands as she spotted her audience. "Welcome, everyone. Your presence is required so that I can present the next stage of our evolution!"

She gripped the sheet in her hand, whipping it away dramatically to reveal the fallen form of their former master, Khanja.
