Valiant(94)
She shook her head. Definitely not.
He nodded. “Do you want me to move to allow him to shoot you? Is all of your hope gone now?”
She shook her head again. “I’m not ready to die.”
“They will have to gas us. It will take time,” he whispered.
Tammy stared into his eyes and nodded. “Gas us.”
927 flashed her a smile and turned. His smile gone, he said, “Order your gas. It is the only way you will get her from me.”
“Fuck,” Mike growled. “Let me shoot through him, Doc. I’m pretty sure I can miss all the vital organs. He’ll recover.”
“It was just a ruse to get him to breed with her. We’ll drug his food. He’ll have to eat or drink at some point. Turn off the water to his cell. Once he takes the drugs he’ll be forced to breed her. I didn’t want to cloud this experiment but he’s too stubborn. We’ll have to use the breeding drugs. Perhaps if it doesn’t take the first time we can get him to breed her without the drugs after he’s had her once.”
“Why don’t we just gas their asses, force him to give up his goodies, and inject them into the bitch if you want to see if she can get a doggy in her oven?”
“I tried to explain this to you already.” The older man sighed. “We’ve been testing them for years. Their sperm is different than ours. We discovered that during intercourse their sperm load is high but only if they are aroused. When it is manipulated manually, if we force their sperm, their count is substantially lower. It also has a very short lifespan. It dies quickly, almost within a minute, and until we can figure out if it’s because of being exposed to oxygen or if it’s a temperature issue, we can’t effectively resolve the problem. We lost a lot of our equipment when we abandoned our facility. I need him to breed her naturally for there to even be a chance of success.”
“Why didn’t it work with the animal bitches?”
“The females aren’t producing any viable eggs. It is only the males who have the ability to reproduce. I need to make a few calls to order the drugs I need and see where we are on the transfers. The men are coming tomorrow to enclose more space and add in four more cells. If this one won’t breed her, maybe the other males will.”
Mike laughed. “Wow, you are going to have her doing five of them? Think she’ll survive that?”
“I don’t know. It depends on if the other four kill her or not. This is important work.”
“Who gives a shit if they can breed?”
The older man hesitated. “We lost the ability to make more of them a long time ago. We haven’t been able to replicate what the doctor who created them did. Every attempt has failed. It is faster to deal with their reproductive issues than to start from scratch to try to replicate how they were created. We tried that for years and couldn’t do it. If you enjoy getting paid we have to figure this out. When Mercile got busted, all their assets were frozen. We’ve nearly run out of the money we transferred out before that happened. We’ve had to turn to more creative ways to make money off them and figuring this out is a priority.”
“Wouldn’t they be weaker if you breed them with regular bitches?”
“No. They have very aggressive and dominant, engineered genes. They will come out fully engineered just the way we made them to be if we can breed them with humans.”
“Cool.”
“Cool is if we can work out the problem and get this one to impregnate her. We’ll be able to breed our remaining males to regular woman and have hundreds of products within the first year. Think of the profit margin and how quickly we can replace the ones lost. We’ve learned a lot over the years and won’t make the same mistakes with the younger ones. The newborns will be trained from birth to take orders.”
“Way cool.”
“It’s more about survival. We’re probably all wanted by the police and unless you want to flee to some third-world country to sell trinkets to tourists, you better get on board fast to make this work. This is going to keep a paycheck coming your way.”
“Damn.” Mike looked grim. “I didn’t know things were that desperate.”
“Let’s leave them while I make those phone calls. Maybe he’ll breed her soon. He hasn’t had use of a female in a long time. It was another reason I wanted him. His resistance has to be down.”
Tammy listened but she didn’t hear them anymore. She watched 927 carefully. His body finally relaxed and he released her arm, turning to look down at her.
“You are frightened.” He inhaled. “I would not allow them to take you.”
