Tae woke in the safety of the ship's med-bay some time later, though it took him a moment to recognize where he was by his view of the ceiling alone. He'd only visited once since they'd left Luna and that had just been to get some painkillers for a nasty headache he'd developed during their first interstellar jump-- a rare but not unheard of problem for him on long voyages.
He didn't have a headache now, which was a relief, but as the fog of sleep lifted and Tae remembered what had happened to him planet-side he was shocked to find himself in perfect condition.
Heart hammering in his chest, Tae sat up sharply in bed and threw aside the blankets. He'd been stripped down to his underwear but the scientist realized he didn't have so much as a bruise-- his palms weren't even scraped despite his
knowing
he'd hit the ground hard enough to break skin.
"Oh, you're awake," a voice said and Tae turned to see a vaguely familiar man enter the main room from what was likely his private office. "I'm not sure if we officially met before; I'm Doctor James Rollins, head medical officer for the expedition," the man said with a polite smile as he dropped onto a stool beside Tae's bed.
"Tae Brandt," Tae replied. "How long was I out?" he asked and frowned as he looked at his palms again.
Rollins glanced at the communicator on his wrist. "About five hours," he answered and Tae stared at him in disbelief. "You would have woken sooner but we thought it'd be safest to keep you under while I was conducting your initial examination."
While Tae was relieved he hadn't been unconscious for several days it felt strange that it hadn't been that long since...
A shudder racked Tae's frame as the visceral sense-memory of the xyloid pinning him to the ground while its ovipositor ravaged the deepest parts of him overcame the scientist. He'd been under the influence of some sort of aphrodisiac at the time, which had rendered the entire experience one of the most pleasurable of Tae's life, but in retrospect it
should
have been horrific-- the sort of thing nightmares were made of.
And yet, even hours later, the ecstasy of what could only be described as a breeding frenzy and the sense of fulfillment that followed left him not just wanting more, but
aching
for it. It was wrong; Tae
knew
it was wrong to want to be so used by an alien creature they had little understanding of-- and yet he did.
"Cold?" Rollins asked solicitously.
"No, I'm alright," Tae said and waved off the blanket when the doctor tried to draw it up over him once more. If anything he felt hot-- just shy of breaking out in a sweat as he struggled to suppress the tantalizing memories of what had occurred on X-136. "I--" Tae hesitated a moment then pressed on, "I remember what happened... did your examination turn up anything concerning? Considering what we know of the creature and the nature of its attack I had expected it to deposit its eggs in me but that doesn't seem to be the case."
He
should
have been concerned, Tae knew that-- but when he absently brushed one hand over the still-flat surface of his abdomen he felt a bizarre sense of regret, or perhaps even longing, instead.
Tae looked at Rollins and found the doctor studying him with a frown. "Actually," the doctor said, "It did."
"What?" Tae demanded, stunned at first and then overcome by a strange thrill of anticipation. "But we know xyloid eggs are quite large, nearly the size of a first," he objected.
The doctor sighed and pulled down one of the mechanical arms hanging from the ceiling above then activated its display and made adjustments until it hovered a few inches over Tae's stomach. At first all the screen showed was his skin, but a moment's calibration by Rollins and suddenly it was showing Tae's internal organs. One more shift and it had isolated the scientist's reproductive system in real time.
To Tae's untrained eye everything looked normal, certainly no sign of eggs, until Rollins zoomed in to focus on the wall of the scientist's uterus to reveal a peculiar series of black dots that even Tae knew weren't supposed to be there.
"I'll leave the detailed explanation to Doctor Wolfsfeld-- I've already provided him with a sample I took while you were asleep, but it seems that xyloids have a parasitic system of reproduction. When it attacked you it deposited these tiny eggs into your uterus where they attached themselves to its lining in much the same way a single fertilized human egg cell would. These xyloid eggs are multicellular but seem to be mostly dormant for the moment-- no activity or cell division at all."
"
Mostly
dormant?" Tae asked as he stared at the screen, entranced by the proof of what the xyloid had implanted inside of him. There had to be at least fifty in the section of lining Rollins had zoomed in on-- who knew how many there were total. Hundreds? Thousands?
