Out in the Periphery and Outer Rim of known space, where there are no laws or governing bodies, all manner of misfits, miscreants, and outcasts flee to the edges of government-controlled space. For the past 20 or so Earth solar years, the Federation has had no reason or interest in further expanding their territory, which allowed criminals and the like to escape to a spattering of colonized asteroids and planets just outside of their iron rule and regulations.
On this particular planet, along the twisting alleyways and dark streets of H-3798, lined with make-shift living units built upon living units, stacked high and haphazardly with no particular order or fashion, there stands a quaint one-story building unit on a corner. While the exteriors are worn and weathered to match the general gloom and hopelessness of the make-shift city that sprouted around the “designated” spaceport, this unit in particular always seemed just a little bit…cleaner than the rest of the city (not by much though). But enough for most folk to recognize this unit to be slightly different from the rest of the planet. And for the more experienced and discerning denizens, the expensive alloys of the fortified walls sent a clear message to stay clear of the place unless they had business with the owner. But for the misinformed and the stupid, the well-spoken security systems, evident from the consistently one-sided firefights that have since charred the streets and buildings directly across from it, was evident enough not to cause trouble here. However, the biggest and most visible cue that really made the place stand out, was a large neon sign in the shape of an evenly shaped red cross. An ancient sign denoting the presence of a clinic or health care facility.
In the brightly lit laboratory, a woman wearing a white lab coat hums away absent-mindedly, as she examines the research data displayed on the screen with vested interest. Her sharp green eyes scanned over the information at incredible speeds, as she shifted through all manners of research data and experiments she conducted over the years. She abruptly stops flipping through her holo-screen at the bio-experiments tab, but her bright red lips just as quickly thinned into a frown as she considered the financial costs to continue this line of research. Hm, need to make some credits… the doctor pondered to herself. Maybe it’s about time to sell another prototype weapon schematics to the black market. She made a mental note to do just that.
Feeling a little refreshed, and even a bit excited, about the prospect of continued research and experimentation, she flipped her long black hair to the side with a slight flourish and stretched back comfortably into her chair. Her straight bangs settled neatly over her brow and black-rimmed eyeglasses, as she pulled her arms and legs outwards from her thin feminine body to work out the knots from sitting for too long. Her casual movement partially reveals the full-body black latex-like suit she always wears underneath her otherwise unassuming lab coat.
She exhaled lightly, only to have her mood ruined from the tell-tale incessant beeping from a proximity alert coming from one of her consoles.
“Ugh! For fuck’s sake. Stupid sacks of meat never learn.” She growled in frustration and spun her chair to face the console, her drones already on standby and mounted turrets ready to deploy at her command. “If these degenerates don’t need medical attention, I’ll make them need medical attention, those stupid pieces of evolutionary rot, unmelted space garbage…” She continued to mutter obscenities to herself as she pulled up multiple security feeds to get a good look at the intruder.
“Stupid sack of meat that’s…an orb…of…what the hell am I looking at?” The Doctor peered at one of the feeds and dragged the digital window with a swipe of a hand and enlarged it in front of her. “What in the name of…is that...is that a...belly? Swollen torso? Looks…human…Oh my. Is she pregnant?! That pregnant?! Ahahahahaha! Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Oh my, look at her go! Ha! I can’t believe someone has outdone my dear Callista. HAHAHAHA! Oh grand! How grand! I should save this and send it to her. She will be so jealous!
“Ahahahaha. Haa…oof, that looks like quite the active brood she’s carrying. Oh dear, looks like she’s really struggling. She might actually pop at this rate…oh dear. Well, that’s not good. Guess I should help– wait a minute…is that…CALLISTA?! Oh shit, shit shit shit shit–”
