Landing!

"Ohhh, yes." Raya nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes!"

'...'

"Yep." She clapped her hands together. "Very interesting."

Unlike what the Paru had thought would happen, Raya wasn't touching him. He wasn't touching her.

Matter of fact, she wasn't even naked.

"Taking a sample from your skin led to nothing. It's almost like your cells are moving too fast for the telescope to notice them. No. More like... Vibrating too fast? As if they're about to teleport, or change into something new. Constant mutation? Huh..." Raya explained while tapping the screen in front of her.

'Blue Balls is a worse condition than I thought it was.'

"Oho." Raya scratched her chin, an impressed smile on her face. "Tapping just that comment of mine into the database made it pop up. Looks like I'm not the only one who has tried studying your kind."

'Oh… That could be trouble…' The Paru remembered its harmless brethren seconds later. 'Nah.'

Raya's gaze moved from the screen to the Paru standing a couple of steps away from her.

"Parus?" She muttered. "Unreadable genetic code… Unreadable cellular… Ugh…" She scratched her head. "Nothing useful then?"

A couple more clips led to,

"Oh, looks like there is someone who uses your kind."

The Paru reacted physically to that sentence, which made Raya chuckle.

"I'm not sure if your intelligence is common in your species, or if it's just you…"

The Paru took a step closer.

"Wanna know what you're used for?"

The Paru didn't really want to know. Actually, he would have rathered no one knew.

It was obvious what terrible weapons Parus could be turned into. If fed enough species with unique abilities, then an unstoppable army could…

"Garbage disposal."

'...'

"This guy uses and sells Parus for garbage disposal, as well as the disposal of waste. Basically, anything unwanted goes into you…" She scratched her chin. "That's kind of creative."

'So it's a known fact that we can eat everything? It's just the evolution part that's…'

Raya remained silent for a bit, and the Paru started walking away.

"How very strange. That Planet we found you on…"

The Paru immediately froze.

"Isn't at all where your kind is from. How curious… As a matter of fact, that whole Planet was strange."

The Paru walked away, leaving Raya deep in thought, wondering.

The Paru, on the other hand, didn't need to wonder.

'A Planet made for me…? No, that's unlikely. This was just a coincidence. It is strange for a Planet to only have four Species… Evolution doesn't work like that-'

The Paru's eyes widened as it realized,

'That meteorite… What was it called again? The one on which all the Parus were…'

[The Kyrio meteorite.]

'Yes, that one… It answers the question, doesn't it? Either the ecosystem was destroyed by that meteorite hitting the Miro Planet, and only four species survived, or… The Species came with the meteorite? I mean… Riding it? Is that even possible? I suppose it could also be a mix of both. The meteorite bringing Parus and wiping out most of the ecosystem… That's possible, isn't it?'

[It is, indeed, possible.]

'Won't tell me the answer?'

[It is not necessary.]

[Additionally, you haven't shown signs of cooperation.]

'Uh…' The Paru looked away before shrugging. 'Okay.'

With little less than twenty hours left before landing, the crewmates went to their rooms to get some sleep. At all times, one of them had to remain in front of the command board to ensure that the ship didn't go off trajectory. 

"Fuck." Jay cursed. "Just had to be me…"

The Paru, not feeling the need to sleep, moved towards,

'Shit.'

"What are you doing here?" Roka asked. 

She was standing in front of her room, the door still closed.

Roka's eyes narrowed, and she stepped closer to the Paru.

Seeing her from so close, the Paru was reminded of how Roka's body was leagues above that of the others. 

"I saw the mutt disappeared. There were traces of blood on the ground."

'...!'

"Did you kill it? Did you kill it… Then did you eat it?"

Roka stared, and the Paru remained immobile.

"I feel stupid talking to a pet, but Raya did say you had some brains in you…" The Commander stared down at the Paru. 

The difference in height was huge.

The Paru's gaze moved alternatively from her face to her breasts.

"Well, if you did kill him… Ha." Roka chuckled. "That would make you a bit cooler than you seem."

'Nice.' The Paru sighed internally.

It tried to enter the room with Roka, but she didn't let it.

The Paru waited a bit, before moving across the spaceship.

To the ventilation ducts!

Unfortunately, upon arriving at its favorite spot…

'She just went to sleep. Ugh, disappointing. Mmm. Let's see...'

The Paru turned away, choosing another path. 

While moving towards Roka's room, the Paru had heard some other familiar voices.

A hole was made through the duct.

"Think Rayais still running tests?"

"Don't know." Rea shrugged. "Why you do care? And get out of my room." 

"It's not your room. Eight of us used to sleep here. I'm going to sleep here." 

"Oh, for fuck's sake, Liz. There's enough place for everyone to have a room."

"Don't care." Liz shrugged, before taking off her pants. 

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING??"

"Getting undressed. Cause I'm going to sleep."

"WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS SO WEIRD?"

"Um… You're the one making it weird. We used to just-"

"WE USED TO! BUT NOW IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US!!"

"Just shut up about it already." Liz took a seat on her bed. "So? Do you think she's done with the tests?"

"Why? Do you miss the pet?"

"Mm…" Liz shrugged. "I like it. It's cute."

"Ugh… Now you're talking like the guys."

"I like cute things. Sue me."

"You know…" Rea started as she took her pants off. "With that strong body of yours, you could have all the males for you. Your arms, your shoulders… They would definitely be at your beck and call if you…"

Liz lowered her gaze as she pressed her lips together. She was blushing heavily.

"If I…?"

"If you stopped being such a little bitch."

"Huh?" A vein popped on Liz's forehead. " A little bitch?"

She placed a hand on the side of her head, cracked her neck, stood up, and stepped closer to Rea while cracking her knuckles.

"Did you forget who you're talking to?"

"No, wait! This is unfair! You're a soldier! You're-"

It took less than a second for Rea to be immobilized on the ground, her neck between Liz's thighs.

"Who's the little bitch now?"

"I said… I said it was… Unfair…!" 

"Who's the little bitch now?" Liz repeated, increasing the pressure around Rea's neck.

"So… Un… Unfair-"

Before Rea could get the word out, Liz's hand slapped Rea's ass, making it jiggle.

"Your ass sure is your strong point. Your flat breasts though… You would have trouble, wouldn't you? They say size doesn't matter, but that's not really true, is it?"

"Let go of-"

Rea's sentence was interrupted as her ass was slapped a second time!

"WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS SO GAY?!" Rea shouted.

Meanwhile, inside the ventilation ducts…

'They sure get along well.' The Paru thought to itself. 'They're very close. Interesting…'

The Paru stepped away, eager to test a theory he had just come up with.

'Graniliths, and Wizzos…'

Less than twenty hours later, the spaceship landed on the -Tyl- Planet.

The Planet that would change everything for the Paru.
