_ BOOOM _

I ran. Fast. I felt sweat running down into my eyes through the pouring rain.

_ CWRACK _

I knew I was in danger. I was fleeing... something. My eyes stung from sweat and the flashes of lightning in the pitch-black forest. The little light I had drove me forward. I looked up just in time to see lightning strike a tree and send a large limb falling down in front of me. I paused briefly, just enough for it to settle, before I lunged over it and across the slowly growing flames. My lungs burned from the exhaustion. As I focused ahead I barely saw IT. A large, black figure loomed above me I saw it raise a forelimb to strike--

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Fucking hell!" I literally broke my alarm clock. It was the third one this week. My heart was in my throat as I rose out of bed and forced my way to the shower in an attempt to forget the reoccurring nightmare. Listening to the shower run just kept the dream flowing, I just had to figure this out. Sure dreams are nothing more than your subconscious trying to make sense of the everyday events around you. But this? This had to be a message. Even reoccurring dreams have subtle changes in them that can be easily forgotten. This... this was burned into my very essence.

After the Great War with the High Lance Countenance and most of humanity fell into either servitude to the aliens or fought to the death as rebels. The few who did not chose either path had lived somewhat peaceful lives. Sure, the genetic experiments and direct changes to end the common diseases took two generations, but the outcome was grand. Most humans live to be five hundred now. I for one have just turned thirty. I am still called a babe, of course, even though I am sexually mature. Yet life could not be grander except for this bloody dream. A knock on my apartment door was a blessed distraction; I wrapped a towel around my waist and answered it. Thankfully it was Ta'ruuc, a canine type of alien that resembled a wolf, best friend and brother of mine.

"George, I heard you wake up again. Break another one did you?" "Yes, pup. Come on in." "Same dream, I take it?" "Yep." "This is what, the eighth day in a row? Don't you think it is time you go to the Cleric and talk about it?" "What is there to talk about? I am being hunted as a feral beast by a predator. You know all wildlife--'cept the birds--have been extinct for nearly a century." "What if you were meant to find this little creature and save it?" "Don't pull the Druid shit on me. Not now." "Come on, you know the Cleric, she can help." "Look, the tree-huggers could not tell me anything other than I need to chew on that Sand. The Old Christ Followers said I was an abomination. The High Order declared me as a Mystic Dreamer. I do not want another cult calling me something I do not understand. Kay? Kay." "Fine, I will drop it... as long as you drop that" Ta'ruuc pointed at my towel. I growled and pulled back above my hips. "And give you a peek? Hell! No! Not until I get something to bounce off my hips." "I could do that for you." The wolf stuck his broad tongue out at me as I retreated to the shower again. I knew he would take the initiative to make breakfast.

Once I got dressed, we ate the imitation meat and eggs and got ready for work. So much for a labor free lifestyle, right? At least we had a semi-easy job. Billboard posting. We go around the Megalopolis and make sure all the signs are properly showing the current ads and are running the current updates. Not bad at all for a 50 grand a year job and we are still running four hundred Credits an hour higher than the minimum. That's what happens when you are contracted by the Big Wigs in town to do the shit jobs... well there are the 'trash' collectors. We are just behind them on the payroll. I guess one could say we are the official unofficial narks of the city. We watch and we talk for extra pay. Luckily that part doesn't happen all too often.

"Pinky, come on, we are going to be late. You know how Wiggerton hates it." "Let the damn squirrel squirm, we are the only ones trusted to handle the diplomatic ads and he knows it. Besides, we can always tell me we were checking in at the Lance Post." "You would bring in the Council just to get out of being called on your lateness?" "Damn straight. Come on, maybe we'll get lucky and get to find a good lookout where we can watch some of free game." "Humans and their sex drive..." Ta'ruuc chuckled as he wagged his tail, he's no better than me."

We sat on the old style catwalk, a good five hundred feet in the air as we waited for the slow connection from our gear to the board to connect and check for updates. This was done just so we can observe the city. We both had our optical zooming contacts in so we were scoping out the living quarters of the area.

"Dude, hotty at Nine-thirty!" Ta'ruuc nudged me and I immediately snapped my sight over. Sure enough a nice Goas'da, a birdlike denizen, was airing out their feathers. Thankfully, nudity was not a crime and any onlooker could get a good peepshow if one just knew how to do it right... we did and get paid doing it. "Nice, but are you sure that's female?" "I don't care, all I see are drumsticks and hot wings." "Letting the predator out, are we?" The wolf did not answer as he licked his chops. "Shit, next door. Get the recorders." I hoped this was a simple B&E until I saw the criminal look over the fence and shoot the bird we were staring at.

At least we got the entire event recorded. I called the Order and gave them the GPS coordinates then I closed off the connection and got into the hover truck. My partner was right behind me. He hoped the bird had no relatives, I could see it in his eyes. He wanted the meat. I don't blame him one bit, but law was law. He could not eat a citizen of the city after 'departure.' The criminal was long gone when we parked on ground at the crime scene. A minute later the High Order Knights showed and stepped out of their vehicles. I could never guess their Earthen kin, somewhere between a dinosaur and a crocodile with a little bit of newt in them. They all looked the same only their voices told their genders apart. Ta'ruuc said he could smell the difference, but he did have the superior sinuses.

"Here's the recording, Officers." I grinned; most of them hated being called that. "Thank you, Watcher." That hit a nerve; I really did not like that. I must be dealing with a smart one for a change. "Yes, we have been searching for this one for a while. Thank you for reporting this as quickly as you did. You can go to the barracks and pick up true meat." "What about this one?" Ta'ruuc asked I bit my lip. "The law has it order. Tasks must be performed first. If there are no claimers, you are the finders and have first choice." "Thank you, Sir Knight." "What is it with the Lance giving their dead to other citizens?" I grumbled and apparently the Knight heard me. "Every species eat different things. Your Dutre'ahn companion is a natural carnivore; therefore this meat will not be wasted by burning or placing it in the ground like your ancestors were known for. From what I have learned in the Academy, you humans can and will eat anything that does not eat you and even then, you still try." "Gee thanks." "You are welcome, Citizen. You two may leave, you have done your duty." The Knight bowed slightly then left us. "Come on, George, we still have a billboard to update." "Right, right. Something about this doesn't sit well." "So? We are not Knights of the Lance. We cannot get involved without risking our heads." "Not what I meant." I followed him back to our truck. "I am wondering if that dream I have been having is actually a warning about what might happen. What if I could be a victim?" "You could play that game for the next century and not find an answer." With a sigh, I acknowledged and fastened my safety harness.

We returned to our post and resumed the update. I spotted a couple of Dutre'ahn breeding like their Earthen representatives. Ta'ruuc recorded that one; I just could not help but shake my head with a smile. I finished the update and set the new advertisement for the new Mayoral election. Popularity contest... that is all I can ever think about it, but I am paid to post the digital ads. Before we left, we spotted another peepshow in the apartments across from the board. I looked and zoomed in, a human was pounding the ass of a male Hexrodil, a one horned creature that did not quite match the rhinoceros of the old savannas, but close enough to imagine the humanoid grazing the tall grasses.

"Is it quitting time?" "For an hour it is. Burger Barn?" "Why not. Even if it is expensive, it's real meat even if it is questionable." "That's the spirit. I think we deserve it." "Ta'ruuc, have you ever thought about killing someone and eating them?" "I am sure each species of the Lance has at one point or another. But... yes, I have. Did I follow the thought through? No. Hunters of sentient life are not given the satisfaction of a quick death." "I know that..." "Then why ask?" "The way you acted when you saw that bird. You had a primal look on you. It kind of scared me." "Really?" "Really." "Damn. Sorry, pinky, I cannot control my hunger at times. I thought you knew that already." "But it's getting bad. I think you need to put some of that vacation time to use and go to a hunting world to get that dealt with." "Only if you come with." "If there are lodges available. I am not one to sleep on dirt." "City boy..." I punched him before he slid across the seat. "Ow." "Serves you right."

After we ate, we had the ideal afternoon. No incidents, proper billboards checked and preloaded, and five more recordings even a rare human on human. By the time we got back to our apartment building, Ta'ruuc was already talking about his bottle of Ti'ashnal, basically vodka liquor from his home world.

"Come on, join me." "You know I cannot handle that shit. Give me my vodka." "We are off for two days and have two hundred plus hours of free porn to go through. I am not going through this alone." "Fine. But when I start puking, I am making sure it's on you."

Therefore we spent the next four hours drinking, eating, and shifting through our recordings. Granted, we deleted a third of it due to no sexual action with the subject. The two hundred turned into a steady three hours of viewing tomorrow we would work on editing and blocking out faces so we can put it up for sell later. This side venue made us thousands over the past few years. At least we kept it declared as voyeurism. This kept us from paying royalties to the people. There had been a few times where we gained commissions. These were fun; usually a politician wanted us to record him or her getting pounded by large groups. Close-ups are a lot different than watching on a catwalk. Ta'ruuc even joined the orgy during one session. I kept professional during it, though the Countess asked him to 'breed' her. Considering it was a representative of his home world, he eagerly accepted. I never asked if he sired anything from her. After we made the final cut, we sighed and rubbed our sore groins.

"Dude, we need to get laid." Typical Ta'ruuc, he always has some kind of smart-ass remark after our editings. "For once, I agree. Shall we go to the bar?" "Yes!"

So we went. When we got there, the possibility to get a mixed date rose through the ceiling. Yes, it was mostly males roaming the floor. Yes, most of them are non-human. And yes, they barely wore coverings. Seeing the exotic packages was actually interesting to me. I was actually thinking that I might go and ask one of the Gautra'nam and see if they had two dicks like most lizards. That thought sent chills through me. Even if I called myself a 'Pure Female' kind of guy, I did find myself with thoughts slipping towards males on occasions. Ta'ruuc, being the kind of person who loves to smile, already had a couple of males eager to join him in a booth while they take turns tasting the goods. I shook my head and went straight for the android that served the drinks. I asked for whiskey and showed my ID. Luckily, the Lance never changed the drinking laws for humans. As the drink was poured, a very beautiful Dutre'ahn female came up and gave me a sniff as was the custom with the race. I absently sniffed back, she smiled.

"You have a mate, human?" She asked with an intoxicating voice. "If you are asking about the additional scent on me: no, he is just a very close friend. I guess we could call ourselves brothers..." I blushed, I was rambling and I didn't have any alcohol in me yet. "Oh, good. Maybe then I can ask if you would be willing to help me." "In season?" I asked casually, knowing the race's concept on sex was a big help with this one. "Uh... yes. Are you available to help me?" "We both can be if you are that willing." "I do not wish a litter. But it would be nice to have a proper mating if he can cover himself." "I will make sure of it myself." "Is it rude to ask about the human organs?" "To some, not me though." "Is it true humans do not tie to their mates?" "Very." "Then you will be used most." The way she smiled at me sent an odd shiver down my spine. "I am glad to be of use." I glanced over to Ta'ruuc and nodded.

We left shortly after with my date and Ta'ruuc's little play toy, a near dwarfed Ganishian-what appeared to be a mouse-like creature. The little male barely could keep his hands to himself on the ride home. Which was fine by me, I could hardly say no to two willing hands that are willing to grope me while my surrogate brother drove. By the time we all entered Ta'ruuc's apartment, I was so stiff and ready to pop that I was moaning from the very motion of walking. I barely waited for the door to open before I started to strip down. Wouldn't be the first time our neighbors saw me naked, definitely not the last. A small pair of fingers quickly found their way into my ass, which made me squeak.

"You were right, pup, he is uptight and needing a good pounding." The mouse, whom I found he called himself Mack, spoke with a chuckle. "If you play everything right, you might just be able to convince him to cross the gender line." Ta'ruuc laughed then went to the fridge to pull out pouches of filtered water for us. "Don't wait on me to get the party going, I'll get supper cooking. We got one night to play before work hits us."

That is what set off the orgy. We lost ourselves into sex for the next twelve hours. I think at one point Ta'ruuc tied me. My ass was sore for a while after. But I digress, a week of orgies was grand, but the sex was not the only thing that was interesting. The murderer we recorded made another hit on our route and we witnessed it as well. The Lance was beginning to suspect us to being involved in the mess. We got our meat from the first event, and now this... giant of a sort. This victim was a water resident... at least his earth representative still exists... an Orcadian, turns out Orcas are not true Earth creatures they were placed here well over a millennia ago by their anthropomorphic cousins to protect them from a deadly disease. Either way, their kind freely gave their dead to the smaller creatures of the Lance and this made us feel like kings. Of course Ta'ruuc could not help himself and had the poor male's dick cast for a personal toy before we made soup from it. The tapered shaft came out to be close to five foot long. Mack left us just before this victim, so it was just Valerie that joined us, that fox that followed me home. Her season was most rambunctious. In the end, she forgot to keep Ta'ruuc at bay without a condom. In fact, she swore to stick around until she found out if she was pregnant which meant we were going to be fathers... hoorah. The first morning after her heat passed, we woke, peacefully, side by side. I smiled at her as she sleepily wrapped her tail around my leg. I saw Ta'ruuc's tail flick as he continued to slumber. At least he was smart enough to own a King size bed.

"Morning, my furless mate." Her smile warmed me. "Morning. Shall we slip out and fix breakfast?" "How about we shove someone's snout between us as we mate?" "After you use... this." I rolled over and took a pregnancy test out of the nightstand drawer. "I hear that this brand is highly accurate and can even determine the species of the sire." "You know my race far too well, human. Very well." She licked my nose as she took the small device and went to the bathroom. As she did her thing, Ta'ruuc opened one eye and chuckled quietly. "You should have gone with her idea. Would have been a wonderful thing to wake to." "I guess it would be nice to wake to that." We both looked to the bathroom as we heard Dutre'ahn curses. I barely understood the string of words, but I did make out the slang that they adopted from Earth.... Not to mention the triplicate 'Shit's' that followed the native tongue. "Guess one of us is a father." I smiled and scratched at my friend's ears. "Both of you sired young." Valerie looked as though she was going to be sick. "Shit. I better call my agent and tell him the pill failed... there goes my modeling career." "The Cycle cannot be controlled only sated. All of us are taught this as pups." Ta'ruuc rolled and threw his arms under his head. "I'm Earthborn. I was not raised in the Pack like you... humans raised me." "My apologies." I sighed and sat up to look at her. "We could take you in. We get paid decently." "I-I'd have to... marry you both. How else could I get by?" "I doubt you have to marry both. Maybe one." Ta'ruuc joked as he nudged me in the side. "I have a billion credit loan on my car." "Shit, girl, how can you do that to yourself and not save anything back?" Ta'ruuc stood; I turned to watch him and got slapped by his tail. "I make half that in a year." She crossed her perky upper breasts, I finally noticed her other four. "I planned to have it paid off in five years. Now... I do not think I can do it." "I bet you can just take a few months off then return to work. Call your agent and talk to him." "Fine."

I watched her pull her VisComm™ out of her pants and commanded it to call a 'Frank' then walked into the other room. Ta'ruuc huffed as he scratched his ass then went to take the shower. As he did that, I got up and followed Valerie out and headed to the kitchen. The chilly morning air helped wake me the rest of the way as it flowed across my bare flesh. I heard a muffled huff as I pulled out the skillet from under the grill top. I turned in time to watch her fall back against the fridge.

"Frank told me to sell my car then hung up on me. I am so screwed." "Can be." I joked as I ground myself against her. "I would not mind scrambling some eggs before cooking some." "Now's not the time, sweetie. I wonder if I can still have a drink without harming the pups." "No alcohol for you. I am sure you can join the Watchers with me and Ta'ruuc. I know I would not mind having someone else to have an actual conversation with." "Wait. I thought you were posters?" "That's our official title. We get paid for both and make a side profit on voyeur films. Together we can make a quarter million a month." "Really? You are civilian spies? How do I sign up? I really do need a job since I have recently become jobless." "How are you with heights?" "Well considering I was renting a penthouse. Decent enough." "Go get dressed, I will call our main boss and get you a proper interview."

With a sigh, she left me alone. I called the Lance office that we reported to and set her up with an on-sight trial. At least I was a district lead, which Ta'ruuc did not know; few knew under my rank. I got the go-ahead for a stand-in interviewer while I did the proper trial run with her. When she returned, Ta'ruuc was on her tail with a grin as wide as his muzzle would allow without losing his jaw. His tail wagged at an outrageous pace that added to the bounce in his step.

"Ah, the puppy must have gotten a scratch behind the ears." "Bite me." He stuck his tongue out at me. "Well, come here then. Oh, you have an on-sight interview so you will be joining us all day." "Screw you, pinky, I know you would do it." I flashed my teeth at him before I returned to the grill top and really began to cook. "Ta'ruuc, since we three are now bound together, I was thinking I should kill off my lease and move down here. Or we can move to that plot your Pa wanted us to have." "Sure... bring that up. Fine, it is already in my name anyway since they moved to that retirement neighborhood. It would be a quiet place to raise pups up at." "Point sharpened and thrown." "And point received. I'll call the landlord and set it up for the two of us to move out. I am sure the neighbors will enjoy not hearing your night terrors waking you." "No kidding, I am just glad that the past few nights have been peaceful." "Nightmares? Do tell, George." I sighed; no way was I going to make it out alive on this battlefield. "Fine:

"There's a thunderstorm... lightning flashes brightly as I run through a dark forest. Thunder shakes the very ground I race upon. All four legs going as fast and hard as they can go. Lightning flashes, striking a branch above me. The branch falls, flames aplenty, I stumble as I try to change paths. I manage to look behind me and see the thing that is chasing me. I cannot see what it is. All I see is sharp claws being raised to strike...

"Then I wake...usually screaming and breaking clocks." "To me it sounds like you have parental issues or abandonment issues. Let me guess, you were raised by Ta'ruuc's parents." "Partially. They found me on the streets when I was fourteen." "Thirteen, bubba. Don't go making us a year older than what we are." Ta'ruuc corrected me in a solemn tone. "Yeah. Point is: I was abandoned by my parents living in our house still going to school paying bills with part time jobs and crying myself to sleep because I did not have enough money to buy food. Ta'ruuc, being a nosy little asshole, forced his way into my life and eventually into the ramshackle home I lived in. Once he found the bad part of my life, he had his parents intervene. So... yeah, we are brothers. Can I stop talking now?" "Go get a hard swig, George, I think you earned it." Ta'ruuc gave me a squeeze before pushing me away from the cookware." I nodded and found my way to the liquor cabinet and took a swig of the Ti'ashnal and grimaced as it burned its way through me.

At least everything was quiet until we arrived at the Billboard Inc© office. I glanced at the building and sighed. For the first time, I realized that the Lance made everything look generic. Both of the Dutre'ahn looked at me.

"Nothing is the matter. Let's go. The rep is waiting for us."

We easily spotted the rep, a feline member of the race Kistamona. I always get growled at because I mispronounce it all the time... apparently most races cannot hiss properly. We met up with the cat and played as nice as we could. The lady turned out to be rather friendly and the head of a district further north than mine. I am so glad I do not have the years on me to get the interview job. I like staying in the shadows.

"You all can call me Yucca, like the Earth plant. Now, here is where I take her off your boys' claws for a bit. Go and get your assignments and gear. You have done the Lance a great service last time and we do hope you record more of the same." We nodded before moving away from the ladies. "George, tell me something: Yes or no, are you a district lead?" "What gives you that idea?" "You got her an interview in under an hour, and I have a feeling we are going to get a highly populated area today. More so than normal. So, yes or no?" After biting my lip I spoke softly, "Don't tell anyone... ever. I am supposed to stay anonymous." "So, that's why I always see your box full of shit." "Mostly junk reports stating nothing." "Right." "Let's keep it that way. I rather not be forced to have you reassigned." "Agreed. Looks like she's returning." "Already, damn that was quick." Both had big grins as they came, both of them eyed me carefully. "George, Ta'ruuc, enjoy your day with your newest coworker." "We will that is for sure." Ta'ruuc smiled and fought his tail to keep it from wagging wildly. "I look forward to your reports." Yucca winked at me then turned tail to leave to force Valerie into the company's system and onto our 'squad'

The first hour was just teaching her the basics of the cover job. Then we started on the primary job. She quickly caught on and began pointing out potential criminal acts and perfect recording sessions. By lunch, we had enough shots to make a good sell, one B&E, and one vandal with paint. She would do just fine on her own if she wanted. Though I doubted she would leave her males during her time of need, but I am sure she would return to modeling since they can go places where we cannot. More than once I caught Ta'ruuc sniffing her, I just smiled knowing that he finally accepted her as a proper mate. His tail provided a deep look into his demeanor, the stiffness and slow wag showed him being alert and protective. His body instinctually told him to protect his bitch because of his young. I know enough about the species to not make her squeal otherwise he would attack me in a blind fury. At the end of the shift, we had three warrants, fourteen hours to edit through, and three pairs of aching feet. Later that day, we sat in a booth at a 'quality' fast food restaurant, Speedy Jim's. This Orcadian owned and ran place had wonderful food despite the aquatic denizen owners. 'Jim' always came over to talk to me; I enjoyed talking to the 'man' as we shared stories of the home worlds. He is not a native and could not travel.

"Thanks, Jim, your fish is wonderful as always." "Too bad it import. Heard Earth fish had true taste." "I personally would not know." Jim handed over the bill of which Valerie paid the credits due then we made our way home. Tomorrow we would have to start to pack up both places and get them ready to ship then we would have to go to Valerie's to pack her things.

The next three days we packed and shipped everything to our home away from home. Valerie was in awe of the place. She did not think any thing like this still exited, of that I am sure.

"A ranch! You got a ranch!" Her voice echoed over the open land. "It is just a couple hundred acres. One of the last of the largest land plots left in private hands." I shrugged and flashed a smile at Ta'ruuc. "Hey, I wonder if the pond is still clear." "One way to find out." "Bare run?" I asked him. "Animal style!" Valerie stared at us with a questioning look. "Take it off, girl, nearest neighbor needs a looking glass to spot us." I chuckled as Ta'ruuc sped off on all four in the bare fur towards the pound over the hill behind the house. "Fine, but if I even feel anyone clamp my hips, they will be getting my jaws." "Oh? You promise?" "And will draw blood too." "Oh, baby." I chuckled then followed Ta'ruuc in the nude run.

Behind me, a growl sounded then I was quickly over taken by a nude Valerie and her wagging tail. Despite not being Terrain, both ran like the canines of old Earth. When I caught up, she was just about to jump into the water. With a wicked smile, I tackled her and tumbled with her into the water. I laughed as we came to the surface, she snapped her jaws me.

"Fucking ass." "Keep tempting," I smiled as I reached up to scratch behind her ears. "D-damn you.... Ah, fuck, lower... there... YES!" "Keep the belly rubs for later." Ta'ruuc splashed us as he paddled around us. "There's something new near the center of the pond, still got the lungs?" "Guess we'll find out." So down I went, quickly grabbed a chest-sized box then came up forcing my way between Ta'ruuc's legs to flip him. I was rewarded with a kick to the back of the head; I just cringed as I laughed it out. "Done soaking the fleas, pup?" Ta'ruuc gave me a growl as he righted himself and made for the shore. "Let's just get that opened up." So I went to the shore and sat the box down beside the wolf. I tugged on the latch, it opened without resistance. "Um... when did you're folks buy a Cryogenetic Facility?" "Excuse me?" Ta'ruuc pushed his way to the box and saw the watertight sealed deed along with an analog key. "Dude, there's also a set of coordinates with this. We need to find this... wait... this is in your name. We don't own this... you do or, if you want to be literal, your parents." "So..." I lost my words, jaw ajar and such. "George, if I am reading this right, this is a genome facility. You know a post apocalypse facility. I doubt there's a list here. I bet it would be a big book." "We have a couple more days before we have to be back, think we should check it out?" "Just remember that I refuse to be left here alone." Valerie stood in front of us, with her fur sticking to her skin I could just imagine her heavy with young; it turns out to be a beautiful image. "Wouldn't dream of it." "Well, since we are already bare, how about we have some fun." "I think I would rather eat before anything else." Valerie chuckled heartily. "Though I do like being able to walk around without feeling like strangers are staring at me for a change... do we have to dress?" "Your human is coming out, love." Ta'ruuc seemed a little miffed. She hiked her tail and went for the house. "Idiot." I muttered and went after her.

We ate then made our way across the country following the coordinates that we found. It was overrun with weeds. We barely could make out the building that led into the mountains. As soon as we entered what we thought was the main building, a computer operated system identified me and began to power up the facility. Ta'ruuc whimpered as we were let into the confining space of a hallway. The artificial voice mentioned that we were entering the first of five check points. An android met us at the first door, it informed us-well, me- that the checkpoints were to insure proper atmospheric levels were in place and security to make sure nothing was going to harm the 'subjects' within. Once we made to point two, my ears began to pop and apparently I was not alone as my mates whimpered and shook their heads. An hour later, we passed all the doors and had met up with armed bots. They escorted us to a pair of large vats that was covered with frost. I froze, all I could stare at the tanks. Memories shot through me painfully.

"Damn...those are my parents in there. Where's the control panel?" "THE CONTROL PANEL IS ATTACHED TO THE CRYOGENIC CONTAINERS, MASTER LANCE." One of the armed guards buzzed off. "Thank you... Wait... Lance?" I asked and got no response.

I found the panel and followed the small onscreen instructions and brought the people within back. A counter came up and showed 12:01:59 and started counting down. I grumbled as I realized it said twelve hours. I huffed and turned to the others.

"Let's... look around or maybe find a place to nap. Twelve hours to go." "MASTER LANCE, FACILITY RE-INSTALLMENT COMMENCES IN T MINUS THIRTY SECONDS SHALL THE SYSTEM TAKE COMMAND OF THE PROCESS?" "Yes, please." I was a little frustrated with the monotone voice coming from all the androids especially since it was the same voice. "Let's find a decent place to have a little fun." "I'm good here." Ta'ruuc chuckled as he removed his shirt. "All we got are machines to watch us, let's get a spit roast going here." Valerie shocked as she was faster to strip and kick Ta'ruuc to his knees.

I followed suit and quickly shoved my growing erection under her tail and right into her ass. I heard her growl over the growing knot n her muzzle and smiled. I lost track as did the others. When we heard a hiss come from the vats we parted and dressed. Saying we were wore out was a heavy understatement. We watched as two humans appeared from the vats as the fronts opened outward and up. Both were nude and definitely older than me. The man was first to move.

"Well, hello, George. Has your mother woken yet?" I was dumbstruck. I recognized the voice as my fathers... yet... "N-no." "Is that Hai'atuu?" "His son, sir." Ta'ruuc gulped just as stunned as I was. "Ah, that explains the shock. The animals shall be waking and being spread here soon. Can you two help me detach from the life-support?" A few minutes later, father was moving and getting his wife out. Once she was free, he turned to me. "How did project Lance turn out? I was yours after all." "I..." "I figured that would happen. Amnesia was a high probability. You started the diversity of humanoid creatures throughout our galaxy." "So the High Lance... is actually... me? Shit." "Language, boy." The woman hissed for the first time and weakly at that. "No. This means that I actually rule the galaxy. We need proof..." Father laughed, "Come with me."

What seemed like a full day, I learned of my past and the project that became the High Lance. With the papers in hand, we left with the facility running on autopilot and went straight to Ta'ruuc's parents. The old wolf lit up like a fire hitting a dry wheat field.

"Henry? You're awake? Damn you look good. Far better than me in my old age. Do you realize it has been nearly a millennium since you went into that mountain?" "Do now, son. Thank you for taking in your older brother." "I just hated lying to him, but it was for his safety. If the Church found out... well...." "We have proof now. You still have the 'Case?'" "In the closet behind you. Ta'ruuc, help this old man up." Ta'ruuc helped his father as things ran through my head. "So you are saying my own nephew is the same wolf that I have been sleeping with?" "Not biologically, but yes." The old wolf chuckled as he went to the table while father brought over the case. "Proof that not only that I am the oldest in the entire galaxy but that I was created by humans to destroy cancer and other deadly diseases. Along with you standing with us, albeit, younger. We used to run all over that pasture and always ended up swimming in that pond. Just like you and my boy. Come, we must not waste more time. We must get that crown they made and place upon your head, George Lance. We need you before they wage war upon another galaxy." "That's only a rumor...right?" "No. It is not." "Now I know why those dreams have been haunting me... I am the lost sheep..." "And you have been hunted for all your life without even knowing. Why do you think I kept you from all religions?" "Because to them... I am God." "And the Church would kill you for blasphemy. Now with hard proof, you can stop the hunt and turn it around. Then I can finally rest for the first time in a thousand years." "Dad!?" Ta'ruuc whimpered. "Hush, pup, I am not going to kill myself... just... relax."

We rushed to the to the Countenance and presented are case. Though they grumbled and demanded more than the thousand year old papers, they could not deny that as soon as I stepped into the court and reports of extinct animals popping out of nowhere made my case easier. The crown was mine within the hour. I and my mates went from lowly shadow watchers to royalty within a day. My only response to my people was that I was always watching and that I live for them to have peace.

A week later the former Lance was found on the streets gutted and ripped asunder for wanting war with an unknown galaxy that would take loved ones away from the galaxy for several generations. I slept soundly, that dream returned and I finally saw it through, I found the creature to be a bear that was falling to its own death for having a flaming tree limb through its torso. I made sure that all lived happily for years to come...
