Genesis 34:1-34

D.I.N.W (Drug Induced Nuclear Weapons)

Sebastian had always thought of the Eastern side of the planet as a no go zone. Never had Qarlia offered any sort of interest in forging an alliance with the humans and never would they. However he had not expected this turn of events. "What should we do?" He asked his sub-commander.

Julian continued to stare at the message on the screen. Qarlian wasn't a tongue he was familiar with and ever since he had been sent to this lovely place, he had not once attempted to speak with a non-human. Language had never been his strong point, killing people was. "Well, he's the Qarlian Pope. If his son doesn't give her back then we're completely powerless to do anything about it". He turned away from the screen to face the Farhead Captain.

"Yes but she's a member of our bloody team! I mean, I could wait for backup to arrive but what's that going to do? How am I going to explain this? You know what those loving Aliens are like." Sebastian loosened his collar. "They're savages".

The kidnapping had taken place in Alley 5, a notorious nightclub in Varkon, the only place that served alcohol on this godforsaken planet. The girl in question had joined the Farhead Academy five years ago and worked her way up quicker than Sebastian had ever expected. He knew that the Academy would not be happy about one of their famously notorious scientists going missing.

"loving get him on the phone. I'll have a word with them. I'm sure they'll understand that we're not the best people to piss off". Julian gritted his teeth as he spoke and started to key in the code onto the screen. "I guarantee he will understand that messing with Earth isn't the best thing to do in this day and age." He said.

�Well, I don�t think it�s going to help if you threaten them here� Sebastian sipped his water anxiously. �I think it�s time to be diplomatic. It�s very likely that she has been raped on that ship and the responsibility falls on us, one of our subordinates went missing while she was at a place where she shouldn�t have been for God�s sake.�

Their Environmental Research on the planet had started 10 years ago and when Sebastian was first sent there 7 years into the project, the general had warned him that if a Farhead employee was ever killed or even injured during a research mission, his head would be on the line. The research firm was known to be the most prestigious human company in terms of the capabilities of its most valuable asset, its employees.

As the communicator beeped, Sebastian signaled at Julian to be quiet by putting his index finger to his lips. "Let me do the talking. I have a plan to save our jobs"

The Qarlian that appeared on the screen was none other than Guru 737, the highest level clerk in the country. "Greetings" He put up his hand and smiled, revealing his sharp teeth, the sole visually identifiable difference between Qarlians and Humans.

"Good evening Ruben 737, I received your message about the human girl your son has taken captive. As you know, in our culture this is not considered normal behavior and I am extremely angry with you Qarlians". The emotion in Sebastians voice was stale and did not match the meaning of his words. �What do you propose for us to reach a compromise?�

�Well, my son is rather fond of the girl and the young sir wishes to marry her.� The cleric stopped smiling. �My son�s wishes are very important to me. If you let him marry her, I will put forward 90 billion credits to fund your research programs.�

Sebastian turned to his second in command, whilst pushing down on the mute button. �That would fund the rest of our time here�. He hissed

Julian looked at him in horror. �But��

�I�m going to accept it.�

Before Julian was able to respond, the captain had already turned back to the screen. �We agree to this. I think that is all for now, please move the funds through to our account. I will be in touch.�

Guru 737 grinned again. �Very well. One last thing��

�Yes?�

�Would you like to attend the wedding?�

---

Julian walked out and headed straight to his dorm on the other side of the camp. His fists curled with anger and his face clearly displayed his resentment at his captain�s decisions. The company was obviously more concerned about its money than the well being of its employees and Sebastian was obviously more concerned about his job than the return of a young innocent girl who would be tortured by these Aliens for the rest of her life.

Inside his cabin, which was larger than all of the others apart from Sebastian's, the sun was shining through the partially blinded windows. Julian went straight for the top drawer compartment and before long he was sitting on the bed, looking down at a small plastic bottle in his hands, fully prepared. It wasn�t like he had been taking Zion for a long time, nor was he addicted to the drug but he definitely needed some right now. There wasn�t as much blood this time but the effects were more severe than last time. Julian lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.

When he awoke, his hand went straight for his pistol. The dreams had not been kind to him. Bloodshot eyed, he stumbled towards the door and reached for the handle. It was nighttime now and the camp was quiet.

Sebastian was still awake and Julian could only make out three other people inside the communications center when he arrived there. He tried to quickly figure out a plan inside his disorientated head before he disposed of that stupid thought and ran straight in.

The only thing the young Farhead Privates smoking outside heard was the sound of shouting and gunfire. A few minutes later, they watched as the launch pad came alive and two missiles shot out of the ground.
