Rose became vaguely aware of her surroundings as her eyelids fluttered open. Smells like a hospital, she thought and opened her eyes fully to see white walls and medical equipment. Okay definitely a hospital of some kind. She looked at the bed she was laying on and the straps holding her feet and hands to it. A hospital that I'm stuck in. Even better. Just then one of the aliens in a long lab coat walked up to her. She was smiling at her with the utmost sincerity and even reached down to stroke Rose's hair. She flinched back from her touch, but the woman's smile didn't waver.
"Hello. I'm doctor Ya'kha. It is our pleasure to welcome you to our planet and an honor that you are participating in our studies."
"Not like I had much of a choice" Rose mumbled grumpily, gesturing to her tied up extremities.

"This is a fertilization center. Our race is sterile you see. If we do not inseminate our females artificially, we would die out."
"Oh… You're not gonna do any weird experimentation on me, yeah?"
"Of course not. We simply fertilize, then send you on your way. We have collected the genes of almost every race across the stars and it is our pleasure to provide you with whichever one you choose."
"But how does that help your race?"
"Oh human eggs aren't compatible. But we believe every female should get the chance to be a mother and it is our duty to provide that. So what shall it be? Human I suppose?"
Rose's adrenaline that came with being captured faded, replaced with something much more dangerous; hope.
