“Felids shouldn’t have been using them for food. They have far more
value.”
Rupex turned to face Marcus, a scrawny specimen of a Leonid
with a scraggly, graying mane and slender paws more accustomed to
manipulating data than the firing mechanisms on starcrafts or assault
weapons.

“Only the poorest prides on the extreme outer rims eat humans. That’s
primitive nonsense. Probably just rumors.” Rupex paced with a sickened
sneer, his long tawny tail tapping on the floor of his craft as it swished
between his black boots. Humans. Too stupid to negotiate with their betters
properly. Selling themselves into contracts that spoke of “whatever service
deemed necessary.” Ha. Some Felids deemed a meal a necessary service of
their employees.
“I’ve heard plenty of prides on the outer fringes do it. But if my data is
correct—and it usually is—human females can be far more beneficial to our
species as mates rather than meals.” Marcus hurried forward, personal
computing device outstretched. “Look. One minor chromosome booster
delivered in the female’s heat cycle makes human eggs compatible with
Leonid sperm.”
Rupex paused in his pacing. A ripple of disgust ran down his spine,
forcing his thick yellow-brown fur to a constricted stand under his
protective black suit. “What… what sickness made you consider such an
experiment?” Rupex demanded, his voice slick and threatening, a snarl in
every word.
Marcus met his eyes over thick spectacles perched on his graying
muzzle. “You know very well what sickness, Ru.”
Rupex took a step back, eyes wide.
No one liked to talk about the Queen Fever.
SIX YEARS AGO…
Marcus spoke to Rupex and the rest of the crew, ten Queens and three
Knights. Ru, as commander of the ship, was considered the King of the
pride, at least until they docked and disbanded.
“I do not recommend we resupply at Tigerite-Three, sir. There are
rumors of a contagious infection that doesn’t respond to any treatment.”
“This Queen flu? Males are immune, is that correct?”
“No, sir, it isn’t that males are immune.” Marcus’ voice was suddenly
thin and tight. “It’s that males don’t die. They get the fever, but it seems to
pass harmlessly within a few days.”
“Then why would it impact a female differently?” Silvia demanded,
striding forward, her black uniform highlighting the magenta waves of fur
that trailed down her neck. “That makes no sense.”
“It could have something to do with the females’ heat cycles. Males
don’t have them. When a female is in her heat—”
“Enough of the school cub lectures, Marcus!” Rupex quickly shut his
medical officer down. “We need supplies. Only males will go on-world and
get what we need. We’ll be in and out of port in a day. Queens, males will
quarantine on A-Deck. You will assign yourselves to rooms on B-Deck.
There will be no fraternizing for the entire heat cycle, just to be on the safe
side.”
PRESENT
Rupex sat in his captain’s chair and looked out at the sprinkled black
and purple vista ahead of him.
