Evolution and Adoration[alien x human][manxman]

CHAPTER 5

  General Nataani looked up at the agitated male before him. He could see the shifting colours which showed Achaana's high level of distress.

"You have been increasingly disturbed since your early return from the human Base, Achaana," he said, indicating the other male should sit. "Will you now explain all to me?"

"I believe I made a mistake, le mita Dasan," Achaana said to his superior.

 "I have come to the notion that Jaydon may be a latent empath newly emerging. I think that his sexual reaction may have been, in part, induced by his unknowingly picking up my attraction for him. My ce remained hidden from sight, although the sight of him naked and his proximity did excite me. I was wrong to leave without speaking to him again. I neither liked nor trusted his Colonel. I felt his dislike of us and of Jaydon. I feel...something...like a...a darkness. I fear for Jaydon, Dasan Nataani. I want to get him and bring him here."  

  "Do you believe he would come willingly?" 

"I think he would, but that it would be opposed by Colonel Gethin. I hoped you might cite that we wish to take charge as the incident involved a Takuskan and, technically, was on Takuskan soil. It is our concern and we can therefore demand he is released into our custody."

"It has played on your mind," the Dasan observed. He knew Achaana intimately. Such behaviour was out of character for the well-disciplined Takuskan. He trusted his instincts.

 "I will give you and Kangi time to be approaching the Base and then call Gethin. If anything has befallen the young human it will not give them time to disguise it. If Gethin prevaricates I will threaten him with instant closure and eviction of the base and its personnel. Contact me when Kangi and you are ready to leave our Base."

"Pila mita, Dasan Nataani," Achaana murmured his thanks before rising and crossing both sets of arms across his body and bowing to his General. He headed out to find Kangi.

Nataani watched and then flicked a switch on his desk communicator. 

"Secure line," he said in response to the enquiry. If Achaana was right about Gethin, then Nataani wanted to know all he could about a man that could prove to be an adversary.
