Chapter 1: DNA
A few months later, Tallest Naizrra, having decided to create a smeet, rode an elevator tube deep beneath Irk's surface to the underground smeet growing area. Her footsteps echoed as she walked down the huge hallway with smeet growth tubes covering every wall. With the exception of the unborn smeets, there were no other irkens around since the birthing process was completely automated.
Finally, Naizrra reached the reached a maroon, cube shaped machine. This is the device that collects DNA from a parent irken and recombines it to create a genome which is unique but still similar to the parent's. This genome is used to create a new smeet. Although irken marriage is rare, the machine can also put together DNA from two parents. Naizrra placed a finger on a plate jutting out from the cube's side.
Machine: Beep, collecting genetic material. Please wait. Beep, collecting complete.
Naizrra removed her hand.
Machine: Processing DNA.
Suddenly, the ringing of an alarm pierced the silence.
Loud speaker: Warning, intruder located in the smeet growing facility!
A vicious, wolf-like beast dashed through the hallway, its indigo fur bristling in fury. The creature bared its yellow fangs pounced toward Naizrra. Thinking fast, Naizrra extended a spider leg and flung it at the creature sending it sailing over the DNA collecting machine. The blade of the spider leg left a deep scratch on the beast's cheek which leaked a drop of greenish blood onto the machine.
Meanwhile, a green smiley face appeared on one of the nearby tubes indicating that the smeet inside was ready to be born.
Naizrra: (To herself) No. Not now
A robot arm cracked open the tube revealing the adorable smeet inside. After attaching a tiny pack the smeet's spine, the robot arm zapped him into consciousness. The wolf beast eyed the little newborn deciding that smaller prey was safer than attacking Naizrra. Oblivious to the danger, the smeet blinked its huge, violet eyes and smiled sweetly at Naizrra and the wolf. Naizrra quickly scooped up the tiny infant and put her hover belt on high power. They zoomed through the maze of hallways with the fearsome wolf chasing close behind.
Smeet: Weeeee, this is fun!
Back at the machine, the drop of the creature's blood slowly dripped onto the DNA collection plate.
Machine: Beep. New DNA detected. Fusing genomes. fusing complete. Processing. smeet genome ready.
A smeet growth tube left the machine through an opening in its side and a robot arm slipped it into an empty slot in the wall.
Meanwhile, the hungry wolf beast had chased Naizrra into dead end. A beep sounded from Naizrra's belt indicating that it was low on power.
Naizrra: Why didn't I recharge this thing before I left? Come on Naizrra, think of something!
She searched for anything that could possibly help her. Her magenta eyes landed on a robot arm which was curled up by the ceiling. Using the last bit of power in her hover belt, Naizrra floated up to it. Naizrra typed some computer code on a keypad beneath the arm. After a few beeps and clicks, it uncurled and pointed to the snarling beast. It zapped the wolf's head as if it were zapping a smeet to life. The now unconscious wolf fell to the floor with a thud.
Robot arm: Welcome to life, irken child.
Finally, a pair of irken guards entered the smeet growing facility.
Naizrra: (thinking) Oh, now they show up. (to the guards) I assume you're here for this.
She pointed at the creature sprawled out on the floor
Guard 1: My tallest! Are you hurt?!
Guard 2: Our deepest apologies! This slaughtering wolf creature escaped the experimentation chamber.
Naizrra: Yes, yes I'm fine and so is the smeet.
Noticing the infant for the first time, the guards' faces twisted in disgust at the baby's shortness.
Naizrra: (thinking) I guess I can't expect them to care about the smeet. He is awfully tiny.
The guards carried the slaughtering wolf creature away. Naizrra: (thinking) Come to think of it, why do I care about the little thing, anyway?
As Naizrra helped the smeet down the tube the intelligence programming room, he smiled and waved.
Smeet: Bye-bye, tall lady!
Naizrra smiled despite herself.
Naizrra: Bye, little smeet. _________________________________
