Chapter 17

"It's been only how many days now?" Emotion asked the computer

"Three days since the three other xenomorphs were placed in the same chamber as the Queen and since X-2.0 1's demonstration," The computer answered

"And she's only now just showing signs of possible fertilization?" Emotion asked

"Correct, according to my scans she is showing the possible signs of pregnancy. This is just a calculated analysis compared to the closest thing in my database that I could find to match the physiology of the xenomorph; we may have found the answer to our xenomorph shortage problem"

"This is incredible!" Emotion exclaimed. "Computer contact Fetch-X and 999 and the tell them to meet me at the Queen's chambers"

It was an amazing sight at what they had found when they all arrived. The walls of the cell were covered in some kind of black organic substance and the queen was suspended above the ground by black supports attached to her, the ceiling and the wall. The most astounding feature was the large egg sac.

"By the Maker" Emotion said in astonishment.

The much smaller xenomorphs were constantly moving from the queen to the walls of the cell maintaining the area, as it seemed. Emotion caught a glimpse of an egg shaped object in the corner and the watched in pure fascination as another was laid and moved by a xenomorph.

"She's even started to produce eggs," Emotion said in a hush excited tone.

Fetch-X and 999 were silent as they stared at the thing that sat before them.

"We need to find away to get those eggs," Emotion said aloud to himself "Maybe if we could construct some kind of crane or arm that could fit through a small hole in the field we would open manually it'd be able to grab one"

"We'll get to work on that right away my lord," 999 said.

"Excellent, make sure you make it out of the new acid resilient metal, I don't want to take any risks with this," Emotion said, taking a step closer to the cell.

Number 1 made his way down the ramp, and stood next to 999 and Fetch-X.

"I am sorry to bother you my liege, but one of the battle droids guarding the prisoners over heard them say something about managing to send a distress call to a Republic cruiser in a nearby system," Number 1 informed the captain.

Emotion's head switched to anger as he turned to face the droid.

"You are just now informing me of this" He said angrily

"I wasn't aware of the situation until now. According to the scanner, not one Republic vessel has entered Felucian space since the destruction of the cargo ship," Number 1 quickly added.

Emotion's mood changed again and he was again happy.

"Excellent, make sure to keep it that way and I want extra security added to this area as well," Emotion said rejoining the group.

Number 1 nodded and left to go pass on the orders.

"999 I want you to begin the construction of the egg extractor immediately. Fetch-X, continue to supervise the security of the xenomorphs," Emotion ordered the others.

"Yes sir," Fetch-X and 999 said together.

"Excellent, now then I don't want to be bothered from my research until the crane is completed and the eggs can be removed" Emotion said as he turned to head out "Oh I almost forgot Fetch-X I will also need you to assist 999 when he begins removing the eggs, we don't want anything bad to happen while the eggs are being removed"

Fetch-X said "Understood, sir"

With that taken care of Captain Emotion turned to leave to allow the two to work.

Back in Emotion's lab, X-2.0 1 was restrained to table, his head turned so that the mechanical half was facing up towards the ceiling. Emotion moved quickly, but quietly from the table holding the restrained 2.0 unit and his own desk. He was about to upload a program into the 2.0 unit that should eliminate the free will of the organic half of the 2.0 unit. Most 2.0 units didn't need the program installed, but with subjects like the clones, they tend to need a little extra to make them more obedient.

The program was completely and utterly unethical and inhumane. The fact that it practically destroys the free will of an individual and turns them into nothing more then and organic droid whose only function is to obey commands and follow orders went against several laws set by the Galactic Republic.

Emotion stopped and stood next to the table where X-2.0 1 lay. If the program is to work it had to be inputted while the unit was awake and functioning. This of course was the most dangerous part of the procedure because if the subject wasn't correctly restrained it could free itself and attack.

Emotion flipped open the control panel in his armor and activated X-2.0 1.

Immediately X-2.0 1 jerked awake with a gasp. It took in its surroundings and began to struggle against the restraints binding it to the operation table.

"You can struggle all you want, it won't do you any good," Emotion said, taunting the 2.0 unit.

"Release me now, Machine, and your death will be quick" The cyborg hissed at Emotion.

Emotion ignored the threat and pulled out an retractable cord from the control panel in his armor walked to the head of the table and plugged the other end into an open slot on the cybernetic half of the cyborg's head. Emotion then typed in a series of commands into the control unit in his armor.

X-2.0 1 suddenly let out a sharp cry of pain "What are you doing to me?!" It cried out in pain

"I'm making you more obedient. The program being downloaded strengthens the signal that controls your mechanical half and the one that I have. This means that both the 2.0 program and I have full control of your body, organic and mechanical," Emotion said, with almost no emotion

The 2.0 unit was about to try and attack the droid captain again, despite the restraints, only to find his anger and hatred for the droid grow less and less. Eventually the cyborg lost all of its desire to kill the droid and to escape. X-2.0 1 let out a sigh and relaxed on to the table as the Obedience Program did its work.

A sound chimed from the Emotion's armor control panel. Emotion looked at the screen to the see the words "DOWNLOAD COMPLETE" flash across it. Emotion removed the restraints binding X-2.0 1 to the lab table and removed the connection cord from its cybernetic head.

Emotion closed his control panel and said in a clear and loud voice "Xenomorph 2.0 Unit Number 1 can you hear me?"

The 2.0 unit moved into a sitting position and said "I hear can hear you clearly captain, I am awaiting your orders"

The yellow light in Emotion's head almost seems to brighten at that comment. However this wasn't exactly a sure sign that the Obedience Program was working.

"Unit, do you wish to kill me?" Emotion asked

"Of course not, captain, to kill you would go against my prime objective which is to serve under you and to guarantee your goal of perfecting organics is accomplished" X-2.0 1 answered.

Emotion almost shouted with joy, the program worked. Now that X-2.0 1 had been made completely obedient he could on turning more xenomorphs into 2.0 units and then he could continue his research on the xenomorphs without Count Dooku and General Grievous breathing down his neck.

"Power down X-2.0 1, I need some time to myself to think and I do believe you could some rest of your own," Emotion told the cyborg.

The 2.0 unit nodded before lying back down on the table to rest. Emotion hurried back to desk to pick out which xenomorph he should upgrade next and to come up with ways of controlling the queen.
