Baaul: A Change of Heart

Chapter 10: Unlikely Alliance

The sun had since set, which made the sound of nocturnal wildlife chorus out around him. The heat was the highest it had ever been, but his body netting kept him relatively cool. He sat in a large tree, overlooking the ooman city as he went through the notes Xai’an sent back to him from his report. It was unsettling information.

Though they hadn’t been able to provide a possible motive for the reconstruction of animal parts, the lab that he had found earlier seemed to be motivated toward inducing sexual arousal. The male was interested in mating. It was unusual for males to engage in the mating act outside of their rut or outside of a female of their own kind approaching them. He knew the male wasn’t in his rut, because the pheromone evidence would be all over the place.

Baaul had to investigate this matter further. He needed to know if he had taken ooman females already or if he was hunting for them. Did he plan to do a mass breeding or did he have a particular mate in mind? Of course, it wasn entirely possible that the male was using lesser intelligent species to mate with, but he had severe doubts about that. For one, there were very limited animals here large enough to survive a mating, so there was no point in him choosing this area if that was his choice. Another was these herbs were geared toward ooman’s.

He swiped the files away and looked down at the city before him. It was even more pimative than the cities that Z had come from. That was ooman nature for you though. Selfish with resources to anyone but ‘their own’ and even then they still withheld.

For a moment, he just sat there, listening to the combined sounds of forest life and ooman city life. From his tracking, the files on hand, he now understood some of the reason why the Yautja kept going back and forth between the forest and the city. He was hunting for resources for his studies and bringing them back to specific lairs in the city. Baaul wasn’t entirely sure why that was the case, but he was sure that was what was happening. The male was getting comfortable here in his own little cut out territory here on Earth.

He would put a stop to it.

Baaul stood then, ultimately deciding to return to the forest to continue his hunt for the male. Based on his previous tracking, he was able to determine that the male preferred to explore the forest at night, so there was a better chance that he would find him there.

As he hopped from tree to tree, Baaul’s mind kept returning to that ooman facility. Something was bothering him about it and ultimately, he decided to make his way toward there. It wasn’t long before it came into view. Several of the rooms within the building were dark, as oomans were naturally day driven creatures, but there were a few lights still on.

Some of the oomans sat behind their monitors, typing away while others gathered in small groups to converse with each other in what appeared to be an eating quarter. Then there were the oomans that were confined to their rooms. It was a prison of sort, he ultimately realized. Some of them were sleeping, but there were a few that were awake in their beds.

One, a young male, had a hand-held device out, showing him video of two oomans mating. The lone light in the room is what drew his attention, but then he noticed that the male was stroking his cock to the images. Baaul chittered and averted his gaze from the male. Not for modesty or embarrassment, but because the thought of a male pleasuring himself to the images of others disgusted him.

He had mated with females of his own kind before, though none of the sessions ever resulted in offspring as they had been meant for pleasure only, but he had never needed such a low method of engaging in a sexual act.

He scanned the surrounding area and found fresh tracks of the male. They started out on the roof, circling as if he had been pacing, and then they led back into the forest. Though something bothered him about those tracks. Baaul lept over until he could land on the ground and lean in to observe them. They kept facing the facility. When Baaul looked up, he was surprised to see that it was the ooman female’s room that he had noticed before.
