A dimly lit room...
Two voices...
"You have returned!"
"Yes, I have."
"Well, what did the Emperor say?"
"He said that if we don't help him finish our latest plan, he will let us live for fifty Blox-cycles in the bodies of Garglians."
"Everything but that! My core is still shuddering whenever I recall that memory..."
"Don't worry your molecules off about that one. Nothing can go wrong, right?"
A vertical, metallic cylinder in the middle of the room lit up. Next to it, to gaseous forms were hovering. One of them was green, the other one was pink.
"Well, the past projects went well... after all, we are the best cloners of our race. Most of the planets we landed on could be conquered by using our creations."
"True, but most of the time, we simply cloned others of our race. This time, the Emperor wants us to manipulate the DNA of a race we know nothing about."
"We are the top genetic engineers of our planet, are we not? Instead of worrying, we should get to work."
"You're probably right... okay, his Evilness wants us to impregnate seven natives of that planet... preferably ones that live close to each other, so we have a better chance of overseeing our project."
"I agree. However, we should make it look like they were impregnated naturally, so they don't become suspicious. We will send a hibernation ray to the surface, and while they sleep, we will get to work."
"That's right. And while they grow up on Earth, our instructions will be genetically implanted into their brain. When the time is right, they will know what to do..."
"Yes, and prepare their home planet for our arrival. Um, which reminds me... what is the target planet called?"
"Earth. In a solar system far away from our own. The inhabitants call themselves 'humans'. They haven't even heard from life outside of their planet before."
"Excellent! This means they also don't know about our technology either. Um... and how many genders does their race have?"
"Only two."
A sigh of relief. "That's good to hear. Remember when we conquered Thraxx? Since Thraxxians have nine genders, we had to find nine different DNA samples for each of our creations..."
"Let's take a look through our cosmic periscope."
The two colored clouds hovered over into another corner of the room, where a strange, mechanical contraption was attached to the ceiling.
"Adjust the periscope a bit, it is not aimed at the solar system we need to see."
"Why don't you do it?" The voice sounded a bit whiny.
"Just transform! You know perfectly well we can't use our controls when in this gaseous state."
"But floating as a cloud feels so relaxing... oh well, as you wish.
The pink cloud floated down to a small table, and with a wet sound, became a wet, pink blob. The blob extended a long, pink tendril that suddenly grew out of its surface. The tendril reached for a small crank at the side of the machine and turned it around.
"I hate having a solid form... at least you didn't force me to turn into a rock creature. In a gelatinous form, I can at least bend my body as I wish."
Another tendril came out of the blob. In no time, a small eye appeared at the tip of the stalk, which looked through the lens of the periscope.
"Yes, that's Earth. Blue and peaceful... these humans will stand no chance against our lovely creations. Which DNA samples did you choose to combine with the specimens while they are still in the womb?"
"A fine selection from creatures living across our mighty empire."The green cloud floated over to a shelf with several vials. "These are the races we will splice their DNA with: A Weedrian, a Celsian, a Spllrx, an Abyssian, a Wurpz, a wild predator from Earth - I forgot the name - and some DNA from our own race."
"Excellent! Then the specimen with our DNA will be their leader. Any objections?"
"Negative. Our project can begin. As soon as our targets sleep, we can gather their DNA and create the embryos, which we then put into the respective mothers. After that is done, they will wake up without knowing anything about us. Okay, is the ship ready? Our target of choice is a place called..."
