58 chapter 58
The male guard spoke," I know that we are both at sexual maturity and feel the biological need to pass on our DNA to the next generation. We have programmed by the leader to not mate because we are mere lowly guards. We are to be weeded out because we are not strong enough to be worthy to bare offspring!"
They were both leaning against the wall as they always did as they were feeding on energy but this time they were holding each other.
The female guard spoke,"I agree with you but the urge I have is something more than a
biological need! But I can not name the feeling."
The male guard looked over to his comrade and spoke," I know you are talking about! I feel the same way as well. I want to make offspring with you but that is not because you are just of the opposite sex than I."
She spoke," It is something I heard about years ago in passing."
The male Kodazaki spoke," What is it? I got to know, so please tell me!"
She sighs and begins to speak,"It was told to be called love."
The male guard gasped,"What! I never heard about love, as I do not know what it is all about."
The female guard spoke,"That is something that we will have to learn about."

Times goes by and the two guards return to work as they commanded and they act like everything had stayed as according to the culture's status quo. They do not give off any sign of what happened among them.
But the two guards knew all two well that things had changed among the two of them.
The male guard spoke back at their dwelling place," You want to go back to how things were originally? Can we forget all that happened among the two of us."
The female guard punched the male guard in the face out of anger.
She yelled,"Why would we do that? Why would we forget what had occurred between us! It is too late for that! We can't go back now!"
The male guard spoke,"What are talking about? We can go back to how we were before?"
The female guard swipes her arms in front of her.
She yells,"I am with offspring! We can't just make it go away."
The male guard was beside himself in shock.
The male guard speaks," I think that my hearing is faulty, please say that again."
She repeats herself,"I am with offspring! I have known it for the two days! My sensors had told me this fact!"
The male guard grabbed his partner in a gentle embrace. The couple was both happy and terrified at the same time. They did not know what they were going to do with their offspring or how they were going to raise it.
Kodazaki parents are not usually allow to raise their own child, since the Leader wants his underlings to be uniform in their actions. This is done by having the offspring kept in an enclosed tube, until full maturity. The Kozdazaki are programmed in their mission and orders by advanced computers. The second brain stores all this information with close to perfect memory. Uniqueness was abhorred by the Leader and his chosen commanders.
Only an elect few could live with their children, but that was less than three-tenths of a percent of the entire Kodazaki population. The two guards had no such honor and all three would be killed for such an act of noncompliance to the leadership.
The male guard speaks,"What are we going to do?"
The Female guards looks up at her partner with concern.
The female guard speaks,"I do not know what we are going to do, Dackle?"
The male guard spoke,"What did you call me?"
The female guard says,"I called you Dackle. I do not know why but I just did for some reason.
The male guard spoke,"I like that name! Dackle, I like it, Akra!"
The female guard spoke,"Dackle, I like the name of Akra! Thank you!"
The two Kodazakis are in a moment of bliss that they forget what trouble they are in.
The typical Kodazaki were not given a name, but they were just a binary number and a job title. That was all they were given and only the chosen elite had been given names. Right after birth a Kozdazaki had their potential determined by many a series of advanced computer programs. The offspring were put in a huge tube device and strapped to wires. Within mere hours, a Kodazaki's role in life decided for them. Over nine times out of ten, the offspring was correctly diagnosed of their
potential.
People were to just blindly obey the Leader and his commanders without any questions. The Leader found it was not important that his people did know why they did what they did. They were to just simply obey the leader. Knowledge was power in a culture where the common citizen had little such knowledge. The culture of Kodazaki was ran like a cult in that the common people had no power in their actions.
All the power was in the hands of the preset leadership and freewill was something that truly alien to the Kodazaki people. The people had to obey anyway or face certain doom. All those that rebelled were executed by bounty hunters.
ost Kodazaki didn't realize what was really going on and the few that did among the common people were forced to live free of self will. It was not an easy thing for a person to do but they had to do it anyway. The fear of death loomed over all that even pondered the possibility of free will. The people lived in constant fear of messing up and being killed for it.
