Hello and welcome to a disturbing thought. My boyfriend and I came up with this together and I took it from there. Will forever be marked as M rating because there will be smut. Sort of of. It's a mix of book and movie, mostly leaning on the movie. The smut is coming so hang in there, read this first chapter and leave a review to unlock level two.

Ker and Johnnie sat around a fire in some cave building, some years after the earth revolt. They had all nearly forgotten Terl, but Ker still had a responsibility to keep him alive until he died. Yet the humans were all more than happy to leave him to die. Ker drank the dwindling remaining Kerbango from the dome and sighed as he contemplated life. Out of everything that had changed he would miss Kerbango the most. Hopefully other colonies had, it if he ever left Earth now. All five of his wives were dead, any kids he had were dead, he was one of the few Psychlos left on Earth but he didn't seem to mind it. He accepted it and didn't care about the rest, he would die here as his homeworld was dead.

Chrissie and Johnnie were talking excitedly about being pregnant, Ker didn't understand the phrase- I mean how could they Both be pregnant?- but he figured it was a human expression for SHE was expecting. At first she had come to the fire with a hand over her belly and she and Johnnie spoke in human language. To which Johnnie explained in Psychlo what they were saying.

It made him think back to some files he had discovered from the long defunct science department on Earth that had once existed for study. It hadn't lasted very long and had been decommissioned long long before Ker ever arrived but upon doing some cleaning of files and figuring out how his job would work, he came across things that had been lost to neglect. Terl was only thorough when he wanted to be and Ker doubted he even knew of the files existence. If he had, he must have destroyed other files and simply failed to find the last and what Ker thought, was the most important piece.

Ker's mind fluttered with a deepening whirlpool of what he had discovered and nearly forgotten. He wondered if Terl remembered. He had to go to the Psychlo he had betrayed, for life of course but all the same betrayed. That same night he lumbered away from the fire, making way into tthe cold night to the transporter car. He got in and drove until day light to the Fort where Johnnie imprisoned Terl, no one had questioned him, Johnnie trusted him enough to let him be.

Ker liked his position here on this rim star planet. He was someone and forever would be a higher status that Terl ever had been above him. He stepped out of the car and into the overcast day.

Once inside the fort and within sight of the imprisoned Psychlo, he had to smile at how far this one had fallen and screwed up. Terl had taken to sulking and any and all reports said as much. He would hardly eat and would sit in his cage in a corner, staring at all the gold. His amber eyes gazing out in hateful longing.

As he approached Ker said, "The man-animals are multiplying. All it took was to move out of the mountains, out of radioactivity." He chuckled. "Looks like they aren't so endangered now huh?"

Terl refused to look at him. Brewing in his own turmoil. The Midget set down a couple extra canisters of breathe-gas for him and began to circle the cage.

Ker smiled, "Speaking of offspring. Don't you have one?"

"If I did they would be avenging me right now." He growled.

"So you don't think those experiments with the she-animal worked?"

Terl stopped and stared into space.

"You were so clever you know, for a while there. Pretending as if you never saw much of man animals before, tricky tricky." Ker grinned that grin that infuriated Terl. "But Myrl recorded all of it before he died, one disk is all I could find. You lied good, but not that good." He began laughing. "You tried to hide it but Myrl outsmarted you."

When it was apparent Terl didn't know much about any potential offspring Ker left as suddenly as he came. His amber eyes glared at the traitorous midget with endless fury as he walked away. His talons endlessly scratched grooves in the floor by his legs as his mind ticked in deepened thought.

He had lot of time to think to himself.

The female man-animal came to them just five earth years before Ker showed up. He remembered her but that was a long time ago now, over ten for certain. By the time Terl came on as Security Chief, Chinko research had been mostly on the males but hardly on the elusive females. As when he had captured Johnnie and tried to learn of their habits, they had done studies on nearly everything except what was important. Long ago, Earth had had a dying science department made of a single Psychlo named Myrl, after the Chinkos were gone.

Just as he was out the door, opportunity showed up.

It was Terl who discovered a lone female captured in a raid. While she was processed, word was sent to the Corp and the scientist, Myrl, received permission to study her. He was a second rate scientist, in Terl's opinion, who got lucky off the work of his predecessors. After the Chinkos, this one was sent in more of to collect and go over their work and bring it back to Homeworld for the records. Instead he received funds to do with as he saw fit.

Terl did not expect the Corporation to take Myrl's sudden interest seriously but someone must have been amused by the thought of studying the man animal species because he got the funds.

Crap lousy funds!

But he had had limited time.

He acted on it and got Terl wrapped up in things he would have paid to forget.

It was true that He had killed Myrl, blamed it on "natural causes" and no one cared otherwise. Sent his body back to Psychlo and no one ever knew of what the dead one had seen.

Though he was sure he had destroyed all of Myrl's files, now he doubted his confidence. Ker knew things he shouldn't, curse that traitor! Terl had to ask himself the same questions though because he didn't know for sure. He couldn't know, last he had given it thought he thought she was dead. . . . .
