Ray Davies has awakened with the worst headache he ever had. Surreal dreams of blue-skin aliens swirl through his brain.
After finally regaining consciousness, Ray slowly begins to realize his bizarre situation — he’s been abducted by aliens, and they want him to do what? Breed? What the effing hell! This should be the stuff of every teenage boy's fantasy or a bad B sci-fi movie. The only saving grace is the Melynans insist on physical contact as spelled out in their holy tenets.
Captain Sonaris Gen 2-2 couldn’t believe her luck. A potential genetically viable male had finally been found on this small, blue planet they have been scanning in orbit for the past several weeks.
Now, all the captain and her shipmates have to do is: abduct Ray Davies without being detected by the natives’ primitive but annoyingly effective technology; test the efficacy of his genetics; and transport him back to their home world of Melyna without alerting the other two First Explorer races.
Unbeknownst to his alien captors, a disgraced Melynan guard seeks vengeance on her race by becoming a spy. She pledges to lead an attack on the secret medical center housing Ray to kidnap him as a prize for her new gray-skin masters, who would extract his genetics with an inhuman apparatus.

The deadline chime bit into Captain Sonaris Gen 2-2’s subconscious like one of the venomous spiders on her home world of Melyna Seven.
Only 22 days left until the transport black hole -- TBH -- appeared just outside this small solar system to whisk the fleet back home. It did not matter if the search was successful or not.
The TBH would be accessible for only a solar day before it collapsed on itself, stranding any stragglers. It took too much energy for the Council of Planets to keep it open any longer than that.
Sonaris Gen 2-2 stabbed at her vid screen to mute the tone that only reminded her failure could be catastrophic to her race. It had taken countless entreaties for the Council of Planets to allow her people to be part of the expedition to this far-flung solar system that only held life on one planet.
The third planet from its sun held the only hope for all Council inhabitants that were desperately seeking the genetic diversity that would save their races. Thousands of years ago, the First Explorers seeded their genetics among the primitive two-legged primates that inhabited the watery, blue world. It eerily reminded Sonaris of home, despite being half the size.
This is probably what attracted the First Explorers to investigate the world and find compatible hosts for the breeding experiments. Those hairy primates were the first alien species that successfully produced viable hybrids, which would act as genetic store houses in case the First Explorers race needed an infusion of new blood.
