Earth the beginning of the fall

Chapter 16

Outer Space Earth's Orbit

"What's taking so long?" Glaetse ask "it's almost done sir" looking over at his communications expert Glaetse spoke "you do realize, that if those signals aren't completely jammed by the time commander Glubyu calls back, your next promotion will be finding out just how long you can survive floating in outer space."

Glaetse watches as the color drains from the stint's face, at the mere mention of the commanders name, "ahh scout leader sir" Glaetse turns his chair facing the captain of his ship "what is it captain Gnien'idi?" Glaetse asked "scientists Dah'ehla as sent message that he would like to have a word with you."

     Releasing a sigh Glaetse asked "can't it wait?" "Well he did say it was urgent" Gnien'idi replies. Getting up from his seat Glaetse looks back at his communication expert "see to it that this is finished by the time I return, it won't be long that the commander will contact us again I want everything in order by then."

     "Yes sir" was the immediate response he received, turning back to his captain "captain you have the bridge" Glaetse said then headed for the door, as the door opens he could hear Gnien'idi voice behind him saying "captain on the bridge, scout leader leaving the bridge was the last words Glaetse heard before the door closed."

      Dah'ehla looks up as the doors open to his lab, and watches as Glaetse strode in "This better be really important Dah'ehla." "Do you think I would call you here if it wasn't?" Dah'ehla retort, his tiny heads face scrunched up with a look of annoyance, while the brows furrowed on his much larger one. Contemplating this for a moment Glaetse replied "no I don't think you would."

      "Good, now that we've gotten your moment of idiotic questions out of the way, let's get to the reason I called you here..." pausing for a few moments Dah'ehla clasped his hands together wringing them with a worried look crossing his faces. Finally getting tired of the scientist consternation Glaetse said "well out with it already."

"Ok remember how I was against releasing the grakels with out proper testing, but commander Glubyu didn't really care, and with the added overdoses of the bio species eggs to further facilitate the rapid growth process that I was all so against, and the..."

"Yes yes, Dah'ehla I'm aware of most of the concerns you had about it, but from what I've seen you've managed to single handedly pull off what many off the other scientists failed to do, despite the physical difference in the bio species appearance And sizes all of them still retain clear obedience for the commands given, carrying out the task to their final breath, and why even worry about the grakels, before I may have had my doubts based purely on the fact that they were no more than twice the size of a hand. But after what they did to the space station and it's crew, I'd say you have nothing to worry about."

     "It my seem that way but there was always something to worry about, before it was if they could survive more than just a couple hours after full maturity, That's why I had to have three times more than the usual amount. But now because of situations not factored in we're faced with a serious problem."

      "What are you talking about Dah'ehla?" With a sigh Dah'ehla walked away, seating him self on one of the two stools in his lab, placing a elbow on the table next to him he prompted his fist against his right cheek, brushing a thumb against one of the hoop earrings in his cheek, while resting his three other arms on his lap.

      "You should grab the other stool I think you'll need to sit down for this, by the way did you managed to stop that shuttle from going back to their planet, I'd have stayed for the show but one of my alert system went off backing the lab here."
