The intake of the red mist entered the lungs first, and within a single breath spread into the blood stream. Seconds later the eyes became clouded with a red hue causing them to see only heat as though looking through a thermoscope. Heart rates soared, blood pumped, veins and arteries expanded and the brain was flooded with a chemical mixture like no other.
Remal would later describe the effect as a Vulcan described the bloodlust a Vulcan has during the deepest throws of Pon'Farr. Everything hurt, yet everything felt, sensitive. He blinked as his eyes clouded over, clutched at his chest as his heart raced. On the air there was a new scent, one driving his actions.
Behind him, Kay was having her own reaction. The chemicals within her cause a chain reaction of sensations she had only ever felt once before. She could seed the infrared heat signature emanating from off Remal's body and though something in her brain told her not to, she reached out and touched his back gently.
In one movement he stood, the sheet falling away, turned and pounced on top of Kay. His face moved up her chest, past the beating heart within her, to within inches of her face. Both of his large arms held his frame above hers, by only an inch. His heat radiating. She recoiled in anticipation of his reaction.
"Hold on, what am I looking at here? What is that?" The CSO (Chief Science Officer) asked her technician on the controls.
"Ma'am?"
"Grid 9A. Enhance that, is that another appendage?"
The tech enhanced the screen in the location she had indicated, putting on display all that was Remal's manhood. "Ah, that would be the equivalent of their species' genitalia, specifically the males."
"Where the hell is that supposed to go? It's... enormous!? Almost the same size as his forearm." The CSO (Chief Science Official) reacted. The item in question on the screen suddenly moved. "Did.. did it just twitch on its own? I wasn't told these specimens had independent movement."
"Seems a bit exaggeratory, however, I believe it was an involuntary throbbing convulsion due to his abnormally high blood pressure. From the spectrograph, it appears the body has shifted much of its blood flow from the cerebral cortex into the new appendage for the purpose of what they call coitus or intercourse."
She eyed the tech for a moment before curiosity got the better of her. "Do you have such an appendage?"
The tech cringed at the thought, "More or less, I mean a lot less actually. But you know as well as I we no longer utilize ours the way this species seems to. I believe it's been more than a millennia since the last documented case. I've heard it was, primal, inefficient, and messy." He finished.
"Oh, I am going to write so many papers documenting this. I'll win the Senger award easily."
"May I remind the CSO that by artificially controlling the experiment we have not correctly followed the approved Scientific Method and our control group has been tainted."
"Shhh... I'll deal with that later, Something is happening."
Remal was so close to Kay's neck now, he breathed in her scent and something in his mind clicked. She wasn't his. Even as Kay tried to pull him in closer, Remal pushed back, stood and moved like a hurt creature into the distant corner of the room. He was fighting every instinct, every action and chemical endorphin in his brain.
Kay, for the most part, was now suddenly both afraid and curious. Together their brains were firing on a primal chord. Her own body parts were telling her what they wanted her to do, even the chemicals coursing throughout her body were driving her actions. But she was also a logical thinker and Remal's reaction told her he was rejecting her advances.
"What just happened?" The CSO was on her feet hovering over the controls. "They were just about to... do.... something! What happened?"
The tech was plugging in numbers and trying to analyze the data wht the CSO leaning on his shoulder. "I'm checking." He pulled up the footage and replayed Remal's motions. After a minute of pondering he admitted, "I'm not certain but I do have a postulation."
"Well? Let's have it." The CSO demanded, clearly perturbed.
"This particular specimen has a unique genetic marker resulting in this series of nose ridges." He pulled up a diagram of Remal's face side by side with a medical diagram of his nose. "It's possible his olfaction receptors will only respond to the smell of another of his species or a specific mate."
"And that is enough to override his primary sensibilities? Impressive." She stood and considered her options. "Pull up a list of the other specimens, cross reference for any others which contain this same genetic marker."
The tech did as suggested watching the chart cycle until one particular specimen appeared. "Specimen 0010. Looks like she was processed through the system only a few minutes ago. They indicated a unique protein marker in her system, implanted the Ramant DNA, and returned her to her cell.
"Good. Have her brought to the study chamber right away. Let's see what happens when we reintroduce a compatible subject. We'll learn something from this experiment yet."
"What of the X-97 infected female?"
"Send her back to cell chamber, but keep her isolated from the others. We don't want any natural impregnations to happen without consent."
"Aye ma'am."
Minutes later the partially clothed body of Kaylen Rhenora, specimen 0010 was deposited inside the study chamber where a fully alert Remal sat still huddled in the corner. What happened next would test both of their resolves and level of endurance.
