Isa and Z, had been elsewhere. They, had come across some ‘illegals’? BUT, not where, the bulk of their kind were to be found?
When, the Cflen, had invaded, a number of them, had fled into the ‘hills’ well; towards the mountain areas. 
River folk and forest folk, never went there. Too many spook stories and encouters that put them off. Hence they had survived with little or no interference from others.
Thus they, had been left undetected, until now. Not so sure about the newcomers BUT they seemed pleased to see THEM?
A surprise, that these so called ‘runt of the litter’ primitives, were actually not so stupid or PRIMITIVE as had been implied?
There was, a good reason for that. Their elders would beat down, punish even execute those who came across as intellectuals.
Thinking, meant thought and thoughts, gave rise to revolution, rebellion. Usurping the stupid, dumb, fat ‘ogre’ who ruled over them.
The same as them, but a huge. grossly overweight slob, who had his minions, carrying out his orders. NEVER, daring to question them.
This lot, until their escape, had lived in fear, of their OWN kind. Young strong and working together had shown their true strengths. No one was superior to the other. ALL were equal.
Their defences; WERE PRIMITIVE. Isa was able to help them, by providing them, with some new ideas AND, a promise, to aid them, with weapons, to make sure, they, could stop any outsiders, from taking over their encampment OR!
No religious beliefs. No indifference to learning more about religion? Gods, goddesses, Enightenment?
HoHo appeared, to have some power, over the others. HoJo was definitely respected by them all. They, were against accepting help, from these outsiders.
Nothing, came without a price attached? An ideology long lodged in their psyche. Most from past experiences.
In the old settlements, NOTHING was ever done without bargaining, demands and the taking by those, who could do so, with impunity. Something HoHo ,did not like about these two; they made her nervous.
They left them, after some food and drink. A shuttle craft of sorts? Small and room only for four at most. “WHY don’t you two come with us and we will prove to you you can trust us?” 
BoBo and her ‘partner’ HoBo, eventually volunteered to go with them. They had struggled when it came to what they had to offer the settlement.
A sense of insecurity, of failure? Many of the others, had tried their best, to convince them, they were valued.
Aboard the craft, it, soared up into the skies and vanished.
HoHo brought them together. A short meeting and they were packing up the settlement to head over to a new area.
One, that was unknown to the new comers. A mountainous area, with some deep caverns. A lot of ways in a lot of ways OUT.
SiLo and KoBi, had been left behind. THEY were well hidden.
IF what HoHo suspected was true, the two they had taken, would NOT be returning.
Landing at a site, amidst a mountain range, a massive alien craft, bigger than they had ever seen before, in front of them? HoBo was speechless. BoHo was frightened. VERY frightened. She, had witnessed the arrival of the Cflen craft, but this?
This was massive. Milling around it, hundreds of beings, with strange markings. A kind of war paint? Isa kept reasuring them, NOT to be afraid. These were friends NOT enemies!
One of them, approached her. “Take them and give them food and refreshments.” Some around them now ushered them towards a building. “We found them at a settlement and NOT where they were supposed to be. Illegals.”
“Convince them, to become Zealots and we, will spare them; all. Any resistance and we will execute the two, you have told me about, who appear to have some influence.
In front of them all! NO mercy. If we need to enslave them;
I, will have that female added to my harem. The sooner we take over this planet, the better.
We, are having problems, with the Chx device. It WILL be operational BUT, will take longer than we would have wished. Sabotage by a stranger who we still, have not identified. We can do little in reprisals until the Chx device is fully operational.”
The sight, of a craft, landing nearby, as out of it, stepped Zgai and Zuke? He, recognised them, almost immediately.
SHE, was NOT, looking her usual self. Something had disturbed her? Zuke was soon telling all that had happened.
Looking at Isa and Z he ordered them back to the Vae. To take over from these two. It would NOT until their forces were fully active be a good idea for them to remain there.
“Now Zgai, lets go somewhere and relax. “ She nodded. “You Zuke, go meet those illegal primitives, be NICE and take them back, to their settlement. Make friends! We need, to know, all there is to know and more?”
He nodded, as he watched Zgai head away, to the building nearby. A domicile, where she would be savagely taken by him. Punishment ?
She knew that, she liked the idea of that. They, could have been punished, for what had transpired BUT, taking the beating, giving herself to him, guaranteed neither of them, would be.
Zuke, had found the two and, they were soon, loaded back onto the craft they had originally arrived in.
The destination, was already programmed, into its systems. 
This primitve female, was making him ‘hot and bothered’. HE, was a nuisance and, the sooner, he got to their settlement the better.
The incident earlier, had left him; with a lot of frustration, a lot of anger.
Arriving there it was deserted. Just the three of them. Looking around, at how empty the area was? “Where are they?”
Eventually, they would wait for some time. NO one appeared.
They were however, being watched, by a well hidden
SiLo and KoBo. About to move out and, make themselves known, when SiLo, saw the shape, of a weapon in his hands?
She, had seen similar, used by the Human(a) military. A powerful VERY powerful weapon. WHAT if he was friendly was he doing with that?
It was getting darker. BoHo and KoBo, were going to leave him.
He, was making it clear, they would NOT, be leaving him, until others; made an appearance.
He, was not one, to be tolerant, of having his time wasted, especially thanks to a bunch of primitives? His loins were stirring. Standing to attention was an understatement. Damm he could poke someones eyes with this.
He hissed at BoHo. A raw in your face rasp that was threatening.
BoHo, was shaking with fear, from hearing his threats at them. In his hand was a weapon? He fired it at some rocks that now, exploded? “Now shut up, sit down and if your kind, do NOT appear, then that is what will happen to YOU! “
A short time later, he had ordered HoBo to go and find them. He, would keep HER as his hostage. They both knew, there was NO choice here. HE had to go and, leave her. The moment, he left, Zuke moved in on her shoving the weapon into her chest.
“NOW we, can have some fun, now that annoying ! is out of the way. Let’s have you strip naked and SLOWLY!” He ran his hands over her, squeezing them, pulling at them, as she squirmed dragging herself away from fingers tugging at her light clothing, pinching her. He hit her.
BoHo, had felt the sweat building up, the water, across her legs, as she could no longer contain her fear, her body reacting to it, as she peed and pooed herself; the stench, had him reeling back from her, as he hit her again.
Then it happened. The stranger from earlier? A whistling sound, echoing from its ‘lips’? She noted, the expression on his face, as one of terror? Then IT, was stood to one side of them.
Frozen unable to move, he was jerked back away from her, as IT, waved its hand at her, her body slowly moving out, from where she was. A hand on her, as she felt her bodily functions, appearing never, to have been a problem?
“YOU two, can come out of hiding! “ Silo and Kobo were being pulled out of hiding towards BoHo. “Take her !” In front of them HoBo. “ I am the Jester. You DO NOT, trust these beings! “ Then they were GONE.
Zuke, was still, unable to move. “It seems you still have not learned your lesson AND you also have a bad memory. I told you. gave you a message to deliver to your bosses.
Perhaps, some more of this, will jog your memory.” The pain, he was experiencing, was again, crippling, but this time, even worse than before.
He was screaming out in pain. That lasted for some time, until, he eventually, passed out.
It was some time later, when he woke up. Inside the space craft, back where Zgau, was attending to her beaten body.
She, saw the craft land but no one get out?
Staggering over to it, she watched the hatch open and out he stepped,. Watched by a number of Zealots ?
Naked and trying to mask his fury?. Across his head a symbol as though tatooed there?
Omega, Infinity. One person knew what it was.
The mark; of the dammed...
