I recovered slowly in my room and regained my vision over the week. My interaction with Dr. Crowley taught me more about what happened to humanity and the new beings that now walked the Earth. Dr. Crowley called them “anthromorphic” or “anthros” for short. The first time I saw his face was somewhat shocking, I wasn’t expecting a talking wolf in my presence, but I soon adjusted and became comfortable around him and the other canine attendants. The decryption of the files from my pod took their technology staff almost a week to complete but they were finally able to tell me more about myself, as my amnesia had yet to fully pass.

My name is Keon Iona, but I had decided to go by ‘Key’. I’m of Polynesian and European decent – both areas are now non-existent, but the doctor felt that it was important that I knew my origins. I’m 26 years old, six feet tall, my skin is a tan, olive tone and my hair could be described as very dirty blonde. When my sight finally came back and I looked at myself for the first time since waking up, I saw I had a tattoo on my right arm. It began at the top of my shoulder and went half-way down my arm and showed an intricate, flowing pattern of lines and shapes with a sun-pattern in the center.

I also learned I was enlisted in the military of the “United States of America” which was important to Dr. Cowley since the US was a big influence in the start of anthromorphic research. What I’d done in the military was yet to be discovered but it must have kept me in good shape. My body was well defined, muscles visible everywhere – I was soon working out every day after regaining my sight; it felt good to workout, because it felt like I was actually doing something other than sitting in my room. Dr. Cowley granted me a computer so I could look up the history of humans and the changes that had happened in the world. It was a small piece of square glass that fit well in my hand, upon touch a hologram of an eagle head appeared that I could talk to, he would respond to my questions and save any information, photos or whatever else I wanted to recall. For example, I’d learned that ‘Earth’ was now referred to as ‘Corbis’, it seemed like all the countries bound together to become one as far as government systems go. Geographically the entire planet had changed and shifted, whole continents that I recalled were gone and others misshapen and moved. There were now districts rather then countries and district capitals were the major transportation hubs. From what I’d learned from the eagle head, most of the earths food now came from the terraformed planet of Mars. Transportation was done in hovering, flying ships, all buildings seemed so much bigger and taller then what I thought could ever be achieved. Corbis was green and bright and looked friendly in all the pictures the eagle had shown me. It was fun and fascinating to learn about and I felt like I was adjusting to the new world, even though I’d been confined for the whole time with limited interactions among only a select few anthros.

As far as I found out, humanity was decimated by a disease that, at the time, medicine could not fight. Those that were immune survived but were so far spread out and anthros were only just up-and-coming as a new race. Eventually anthros overtook the remaining human population and gathered the remaining humans for species protection. There are only about 1500 humans left, sectioned into small colonies across the globe that are monitored and protected by the Corbis Humanity Army (CHA) – a specialized corps trained in the care, breeding and protection of humans. Most of the humans left are females and males are a special thing to come by. It was this, I found out, that excited Dr. Cowley so much about finding me.

“Dr. Cowley…I’m learning so much about my history and about this new world around me but…when am I going to see it?”

“Key, you must understand you’re an endangered species. We would like to see the resurrection of the human race and I’ve been in contact with Corbis’s other research centers to get you in contact with those of your kind that remain. I’m waiting to hear back from them but in the meantime, I’m hoping to find you a safe, secure and welcoming place to stay.” His tone suddenly became more serious. “Not all anthros are as eager to restore the human race, many of them have a deep-rooted dislike for humans because of the treatment of their ancestors.”

I understood what he was saying but I was also excited to get out of my room and see the world on my own again. To meet people and see the new wonders and technology I’d been asking the eagle head about was making me impatient. Dr. Crowley reassured me it shouldn’t be too much longer before I’d have more freedoms, but first I had to become a citizen and registered human. He took me to an office area where they recorded my general stats – name, age, date of birth, height, race etc. as well as taking some blood and saliva for DNA and medical registry. They input this information as well as the blood vial and saliva swab into a computer and moments later a small, metallic-looking pill.

“Hold out your right arm, human.” The attendant was curt with me and seemed angry. I held out my arm and she took a syringe and implanted the metal pill into my forearm.

“Ah!” I flinched a little.

“Hold still!” She barked, “Now I need to scan it and make sure it’s in the right spot.” She took out a small, handheld scanner and waved it over my arm. It made a light ding sound and a projection appeared with my face and general information. She then swiped through a few more menus that showed my DNA information as well as other things like money, occupation etc.

“Key, you’re now a registered citizen of Corbis! Everywhere you go you will be scanned, if you need to use money or find transportation or call for help you can do that at scanning stations.” Dr. Crowley grinned and clapped my shoulder with his paw. I felt excited to be a new-world citizen, it meant I was one step closer to getting out into the real world.

A few more days passed and Dr. Crowley had found a place for me to stay. It would be in the ‘Corbis North District capital of Arctosia’ with a colleague of his, Dr. David Schindler and his daughter Sakari. Dr. Schindler lived in a small cottage style house in a quiet suburb of Arctosia. I learned his hobby was collecting ancient technology – his house was full of old computer monitors and TVs, boxes of circuit boards and books. He was an old Armadillo and was one of the least human-like anthros I’d yet to see. His daughter on the other hand, looked like a young, blonde English Springer Spaniel with lots of human characteristics. Her paws appeared to be more like hands, she walked on her hind legs, and she appeared to have quite the voluptuous chest. Her snout had a white patch near her nose covered in blonde speckles giving her the appearance of freckles. Her ears had long, wavy hair and she wore bows above them making them look like pigtails. Dr. Crowley dropped me off along with a small unit of what I can only assume were CHA soldiers.

“They will stand guard and make sure that you’re safe here and Dr. Schindler will care for you. If you want he and his daughter can show you around the capital. I’ll keep you updated on what and where the CHA will want you but for now, we know it’s best for you to adapt to your new surroundings and make yourself comfortable. I’ll bring you the contact information for the other human centers along with a tele-com device later in the week.”

And with that, Dr. Cowley shook my hand and left. I turned and Dr. Schindler opened his front door and let me in.

“Please sit Key, you must be exhausted.”

I sat in a large, comfortable chair in the front sitting room – it did feel good to sit. “I guess I am, but simply put, I’m more just excited to be out of that room and laboratory.” I breathed deeply and closed my eyes only to have them open wide, surprised at the sound of loud yelping

“DAD! IS THIS HIM?!” Sakari came out of nowhere, she was wearing a short jean skirt and tight, white crop top, showing off her fuzzy yet slim midriff.

“Sakari!” Dr. Schindler chided, “Where have your manners gone?! Please, be quiet! Our guest is tired and I’m sure you will have the chance to talk to him later, please go to your room.” She gave him puppy-eyes and then quietly turned and left the room, her tail low. “I apologize for my daughters intrusion…I adopted her as a pup and I’m afraid she still seems to be quite the puppy. She’s very rambunctious and loud,” he turned to me and smiled, “But she’s fun and has been the light of my life.” I could tell he was close with his daughter and loved her dearly.

“You know Dr. Schindler I am quite tired and wouldn’t mind laying down.”

“Upstairs and to the left.”

I took my small backpack and headed up, the room on the right had the door partially opened and I could see Sakari sitting in her bed, she looked up at me and her ears perked up, her tail started wagging and she quickly came to the door. “I’m so sorry about earlier, I get easily excited. It was nice to meet you and I hope we can chat some time…I’ve never met a human before.”

“Yeah no, it’s fine. Nice to meet you too. Goodnight.” I went into my room and closed the door, threw myself onto the bed and passed out.

I awoke several hours later; it was still dark out. I swiped over my arm implant and the time appeared in a hologram, it was 2:30am. I was hot and soaked in sweat. I took off my shirt and pants I had passed out in and put on some shorts I’d made from a pair of sweat pants and headed down to the kitchen for a drink of water. I stumbled a little down the stairs and rubbed my eyes, there was a soft glow emanating from the kitchen already and suddenly I was on alert. I rounded the corner quickly with fists raised, ready to fight whoever might be there.

“Oh!” Sakari dropped the milk carton on the floor, it spilled everywhere and I felt foolish for feeling threatened. That’s what the CHA was here for right, to make sure we’re safe here.

I sighed and grabbed the towel, “I’m sorry Sakari, my instincts kicked in and I thought you were a threat.” I started mopping up the mess.

“Key, it’s okay, you don’t have to do that,” she was wearing extremely short cotton shorts and a tight tank top. I could tell she didn’t have a bra on because her nipples were popping out from under her shirt. She turned around and grabbed another towel from a bottom drawer. As she bent over her shorts rose up and her bottom appeared to be of human form – round and rather large. I only noticed because her shorts revealed so much of it. I blushed. I hadn’t seen a human woman in God knows how long and my mind was confused – it still was trying to register Sakari as a dog rather than an anthro. She turned around and realized I had been looking at her and she started fidgeting with the towel she grabbed to help clean up. “I just turned 18 you know…” she looked up at me with her large, bright blue eyes. I gulped, looked down and kept mopping up the milk. “I wished that someday I would meet a human. I just love science and I think what happened to your race is terrible. I really hope that you can help save it Key and I hope I can help in whatever way you might need.” Her hand brushed mine as we cleaned up together. I was hard and I knew she could tell my tent was pitched in my sweat-shorts.

“That’s really nice of you Sakari and I appreciate it,” suddenly she was nuzzled up under my chest, she had ducked between my arms because I was on all fours cleaning up.

“I can be as nicer” she said it in such a seductive tone and started sniffing my crotch.

“HEY!” I got up and pushed her away as her nose rubbed against my hard dick, “Excuse me but this is personal space,” I put my hands in front of myself so she couldn’t see quite as well.

She scoffed, “I’m sorry Key, I was just greeting you!” her tone seemed amused and slightly aghast, as though I should know that it’s normal for people to randomly sniff my crotch.

I felt foolish and embarrassed, “I’m sorry, I guess you can greet me?” I put my arms up in question and shrugged. She moved in closely and began sniffing, I could feel the cold from her nose and the warmth of her exhales on my dick. It felt good and suddenly she gave it a lick through my shorts. I gasped and looked down, her eyes looked up at me longingly and her tail wagged. I realized I’d been had and she started laughing.

“Key you’re so gullible!” She got up and had to wipe the tears from her eyes she was laughing so hard. I was immediately soft.

“You know, I just came down here for a fucking drink and I thought someone might be in here to kill me. I don’t know what the fuck is going on in this new world! I don’t know who the fuck you are or what these new fucking customs are! You two invite me into your house and then you go and start laughing at me like I’m a second-class citizen!” I didn’t realize that I had begun shouting and Dr. Schindler had come into the kitchen.

“What the hell is going on here?!” he shouted over me. He was wearing what looked more like an old woman’s nightgown then what he should be wearing.

“I just came down for a fucking drink and Sakari – “

“Spilled,” she cut me off, “I spilled Dad because Key startled me. He was being nice and helping me clean up and I was teasing him and he had had enough.” Now her eyes were watery for a different reason.

Dr. Schindler sighed and calmed down, “Sakari, what have I always told you? Be kind, be understanding, be accepting…especially towards those you do not know. Go to bed and I’ll clean the rest of this up.” She left the room but not without shooting me another longing glance. What the fuck was up with that horny little pup? Dr. Schindler then turned to me and his face turned to a scowl, “I opened up my house to you, I know you’re still adjusting but we are just like people – you have no right to go around yelling at anyone, especially my daughter!”

“Dr. Schindler I’m sorry I didn’t mean too I just…don’t appreciate being made fun of.”

“No one does boy and she will tease you relentlessly,” his look softened, “She makes fun of me all the time but I know it’s how she shows affection. She’s a playful puppy after all. Just make sure to be nice to her and please, do not yell at her…her home life prior to my adopting her was not the nicest place to be. It is late though,” he grabbed a glass from the cupboard, filled it with water and handed it to me, “and we should be sleeping.”

I chugged the water, thanked him and went back upstairs to bed. Sakari’s door was closed and I felt a slight pang in my chest, I really hope I didn’t hurt her. As I drifted off to sleep I thought about talking with her and imagined myself apologizing and embracing her…the feeling of her warm, soft fur against mine was relaxing and I drifted off into a deep sleep.
