Soniette had been with Cistera, talking for some time. Finally she confessed and introduced her, to Canuweis, (Brage'sdaughter) Enuweis and Chacoa (Dasec's daughters). Cistera had met both of their mothers and she was pleased, but puzzled, to see them.
It was Canuweis who let slip, about why, they were there and how, it had all been a waste of time. She was not a Kevletling, who liked the idea of coupling for the sake of reproducing more Kevletlings at all, she had managed to stop certain changes, from taking place that Enuweis and ChaCoa had not?
They were, both fertile (When a Kevletling is receptive to being sprayed by a male) whereas she, was managing somehow, to prevent, the chemical change, taking place.
A way, to keep perspective suitors at bay. Soniette also told Cistera, how she had caught Lehroem and Roengar her ‘Chosen two’ coupling with Enuweis and Chacoa, taking great pleasure, in spraying them and impregnating them
Such an act was illegal and punishable by death, she had to be present and they had violated the two Kevletling, ignoring Canuweis, pretty as she was, to pursue their pleasures. She had discovered, when they did NOT become pregnant, that the seed, they had impregnated was sterile.
This was another problem re sireing Kets ! Not uncommon, across the galaxies. For various reasons, some families, became STERILE, unable to reproduce ! A planet, who ended up with this problem, could resolve its, population problems in various ways.
The Sciestes of Galweis had implemented a cloning program and they were regarded, as THE authority on cloning ! It helped produce a healthy, if not very similar race of beings, but after time, healthy and prosperous. They used Progenesis.
Soniette, had been furious, realizing they could NEVER, sire Kets, despite the so called med reports, stating otherwise! Trickery on their part, with their intentions, being to secure her lands, her titles, her assets and not HER when it came to that!
She and her family had been lied to and cheated, dissolving the partnership between them.
She warned them never, to come face to face with her, or any of her family again.
They would be executed.
She had, spent some time, talking to her mother Benista, who listened and consoled her, but she was hoping, Nathan would be her savior? Now she had gambled, and lost?
Cistera listened intently then dismissed the Ketlets under escort back to the Bexes Flagship, they continued talking. Cistera knew Soniette, would not, allow Nathan, to impregnate her, not that she was too keen on him doing that either,
I have she said, some good news and you are going to hate me for it. ‘I’m definitely, showing signs of impregnation, we’re carefully monitoring changes taking place, so far, no problems.
We modified his DNA, to adapt to the added string forming the Fendiq molecular carbons.
To fuse, lock them in, with his DNA perfectly, no rejection. Of course, I won’t know for sure, until another Earth day.
Soniette, hugged her, Cistera sensed, she was trying hard, to be happy for her, but something on her mind, other than concerns she had already voiced. True there were, the troubles the battles?
Soniette’s father, was in the middle of defending his territories, AND, trying to stop, incursions on Fendiq territories, to help Cistera, whilst she, built up her forces. All in all the whole situation was taking its toll on all of them.
She hardly saw him. He had sent her mother to Dasec’s, far away from the main conflict zones. Cistera interrupted her. “Your fears, over giving him a son, an heir and helping your sisters, also to conceive.”
“Tell me, how I can help you Soniette, you know I won’t refuse you. Have you any other ideas, or ways we can help each other ?’ Soniette finally confessed about Dram, how she had spent the night with him.
“He won’t know anything Cis.” That Cistera was not so sure about. It was, ringing a very loud bell in her ears and that was because of what Nathan had once told her, about Dram.
His encounter with a Bexian female? She had started the transfer process but got frightened and had left before completing it.
WHY, Nathan had said, he must NEVER, have carnal relations with another one. IT will almost certainly trigger, the final processes. Uhh? Nathan had shook his head,
“He WILL transform! or try to and, mutate, or die from it!”
Cistera, stared in disbelief “Soniette you have no idea what you have done.”
“It was only copulating AND protected by me. NO insemination on his part re my body.”
She was angry with her AND here on the Raptor aswell, my guest!‘ Soniette started to hang her head her eyes moist, she was tired soo tired. The only memory that was deemed by her to be good had just been tainted.
Cistera, could see, she was really low. Cistera put her arms, around her. Thoughts, were on what Nathan would think, if he knew, what Soniette had done, re his friend Dram BUT ?
”Whats happened has happened, I can’t not, feel for you, and on reflection, Dram is a really good choice, BUT, I am now very worried about Dram and, how he is coping with your injection “
Cistera moved over to a coms unit.
“Tan” “Cistera ! You want to talk to Nathan ?” “No I need to talk to you urgently, can you come over to the Raptor and, I’ll meet you on level 4 garret 5, Tell no one, secure coms ? “
“On my way.”
Level 4 was the same level, Dram’s accommodation was on, Tan was already waiting for them. Cistera told her, under no circumstances, was she to tell Nathan. Personal confidences, she was about to declare.
“If you do I will, terminate you, without question.” Her final words on that, Tan was insistent.
“You won’t need to, I won’t tell him anything !” Tan was now listening, taking in recent events.
After listening about the injection, she stopped them,
“Medic sentient 290q4 and 3987q3 report to level 4 garret 5 now, with medipac gamma alpha 6 “ “Tan.” It was Dee’s voice. “Yo ! you alright girl ? Thats two powerful medisents.”
“Dee, can you, initiate sequence r599beta 7 immediate.” “Yo Tan done all visual and audio level 4 isolated and in stasis encrypt sequence alpha 2 initiated.” “Forgot that bit, thanks Dee.”
“Yo Tan you want me to monitor?’ ‘Standalone sequence 7 beta 4 ‘ ‘Yo Tan done’
She explained what she had just done, I’ve shut off all monitoring on this level , no one knows we’ve been here, they’ve got no record and we’re completely on our own ‘Cept for these’.
The two sentients appeared, she beckoned everyone to follow.
Dram was laid back on his sleep unit, a bit incoherent and had found standing difficult. He was cursing, someone has a lot to answer for ! Then the hatchway, he tried to sit up but failed.
Tan had the Medisents examine him thoroughly then she ran the results through the datastream analysing them, ‘Riak’. I need to talk to you urgent’ Riak appeared almost immediately.
‘I know, I sensed earlier, difference with Dram, Soniette, must, be left alone with him for a little while. I suggest everyone else, waits outside. they must complete certain parts of the process
Soniette initiated, or it will fail completely with deadly consequences.’ .
