In his desert hideout, Juniper Tarkinsky watched the grainy holographic video with a mixture of surprise and fascination. A beast was ransacking a campsite, picking certain items with care before leaping into the air and out of sight. The reception was fuzzy, but there was no mistaking it, the video showed the rascal he's been on the lookout for the last four years. He had long ago put out a search wave, looking for any chatter of the beast's whereabouts, but he hadn't heard a peep loud enough that would make him come out of hiding.
Juniper was a well sought after scientist that specializes in mutation research. A leader in his field, he was courted by several companies to be employed, but Juniper preferred free-lance work, giving him the flexibility to take on projects that he was interested in.
Juniper had freelanced for Huebort during his last project, researching whales that mutated and had grown small feet. He was experimenting on a whale, when his assistant, Kara approached him with some disturbing news.
"Huebort is planning to sweep all of the Himuti," she said in a panic.
"What do you mean sweep?"
"They are planning to kill them all."
"This can't be," said Juniper, dropping the eye-dropper he was planning to use for the whale mutation before him.
"I overheard the big-mouth hunter talking about it last night over a monitor device," she said.
"When is this supposed to take place," asked Juniper, ignoring the small-sized whale as it started walking toward the faux ocean. "Maybe I can convince the head of operations to stall their efforts."
"I don't think so," said Kara," we've got to do something, and we've got to do it now or an entire species will be erased, and you know what that means."
"A break in the ecosystem," Juniper said horrified, "okay, tell me what to do."
Without much time to plan, they were only able to save a group of Himuti, escorting them out by large boats and directing them to a haven. After settling the Himuti, Juniper abandoned all of his research and went into hiding, studying the fascinating creatures at his leisure. He learned so much and had grown attached to the beasts. He had begun to learn their language before Huebort destroyed his hidden lab, torching it down to the ground and gassing the remaining Himuti, save for one, a teenage Himuti who was out gathering herbs while the burning took place.
Juniper could still remember the cries of the lone Himuti as he watched the lab burn with the remainder of his family still inside. It took Juniper years to teach the Himuti how to live alone and be okay without ever meeting a mate, something that they need for survival. Since the Himuti has not developed fully, he wasn't given a name by its elders and Juniper called him Aaden in the hopes that he determined the sex correctly. After years of traveling in hiding with Aaden, Juniper noticed a difference in the beast, who he had considered a son. The changes were subtle but noticeable. It started with howling into the night
uncontrollably. When Juniper tried to figure out what was wrong, Aaden would run away and not return until the morning. Its voice got noticeably deeper and his body started to shape with male organs, which caused Juniper some concern, considering that the Himuti sex only formed once they have found a mate.
Is he becoming Hermaphrodite? Juniper thought in a panic. He has been working on cloning a mate for Aaden but the cloning process was a bit complex when it came to Himuti. On one hand, he couldn't use Aaden's DNA for cloning if he wanted a mate for him, on the other hand, they were always on the move, just in case Huebort caught up to them.
As it turned out, Aaden developed full male parts and he was in a constant state of arousal.
He's searching for a mate, thought Juniper in disbelief, desperately.
Juniper tried making a serum that would cool off Aaden urges but the first disaster happened when Aaden started leaving sperm samples in small villages which the unsuspecting people would step in and have an unnatural reaction. The sexual energy seemed to help Aaden control himself momentarily but he would become obsessed with using his sperm to attract people into his web.
"You're going to get us caught," said Juniper stepping over a sperm sample. "Can you cool your urges a bit my boy."
"No," said Aaden, his head bent low.
"You need this?"
Aaden nodded his head.
Juniper went into his bubble and started thinking of ways to save Aaden but he was coming up short.
"I'm missing something," he said, tinkering with multiple formulas but getting nowhere. "I need to get back home to figure this out."
Aaden, being the intellectual creature that he was, decided that he was too much of a burden on Juniper and decided to run away on his own. When Juniper found out that he was missing it almost broke him.
"That rascal is going to be the death of me," he thought.
Four years in a secret hiding location, Juniper finally found Aaden and his goal was to bring him home so that way he could help the beast.
I'm finally here my boy,
he thought.

The Himuti was looking at me with regret as I prepared to leave for TRACE. It looked as if he was going to trap me in tentacles and never let me go.
"Remember, I have to do this for our babies," I said, placing my hand over my belly, reaching up to be picked up, the monster held me in his arms and gave me a long, wet kiss. The familiar warmth spread throughout my body and I leaned in and gave him a long hug, breathing in his scent. The monster had his unique smell but it had showered with me that morning and now its fur smelled of coconut. His grip was a bit difficult to wiggle out of and I had to push hard for him to release me.
"I'll be back and we can go, okay?"
He shook his head in affirmative and I turned to leave.

When I arrived at the facility there was a small group of protesters outside. I was surprised to see my Himuti's face on some of the signs.
