"Move out of the way, Repecki. Humans coming through." The loud voice echoed in the expansive corridor.
"Pardon." Ummul stepped his hulking blue mass to the side and looked down at the humans. "Beg your pardon, Lieutenant. Was I moving too slowly?"
"Ensign Ummul, I'd heard we let one of you on board." Lieutenant James Collins looked the creature up and down. Which was a considerable task. Repecki were a tall species, this one standing at over seven and a half feet. Their planet recently joined the Outer Consolidated Planets and Ummul was a pioneer by joining the fleet. "Of course, you were moving too slowly. Are you on duty?" James eyed the Outer Planets uniform.
"Yes, Sir," Ummul said in his deep, grinding voice.
"You're an ugly blue bastard. Almost like us, but not quite. It's uncanny. Don't you think, Sir?" James turned to the human on his right.
"Blue skin, bald head, oafish size, pointy ears." Lieutenant Commander William Darling squinted up at the creature. "It's like God wanted to make man, but was too drunk. Is that what God did, Ensign?"
"Um... which god?" Ummul was unprepared for this hostility. During recruitment for the fleet, it had been all smiles and compliments.
"You look slow and dimwitted." James stared up at the alien's unblinking blue eyes. "Are you slow and dimwitted?"
"No, sir." Ummul shook his head and tried not to make eye contact with either of the two male humans standing in front of him.
"We saw him move. He's clearly slow. And he does look dimwitted, doesn't he?" William shook his head like it was a real pity. "So, we have these now. What do you know about them, Lieutenant Collins?"
Ummul looked to his left and right but the corridor was empty, no other officers there to help him.
"He has repulsive ears, right Sir?" James was so casual belittling a blue giant.
Ummul was actually quite proud of his ears, the focal point of Repecki beauty.
"I suppose. Those ears are quite unsightly. Are they standing at attention too or are they always like that?" William took a step closer, moved his head to the side, and looked up, examining Ummul's right ear.
Ummul let his ears droop.
"No, Ensign, keep them at attention." William looked back at James and smiled.
The alien's ears went back up.
"Well, anyway..." James clearly had a point he wanted to get to. "These Repecki males are so ugly that they have to use some sort of roofie spray to mate their females. I read an article about it." James laughed.
William laughed too. "Savages." He looked back up into Ummul's face. "Is that true, Ensign Repecki?"
"Repecki is my species, Sir. I am Ensign Ummul." The alien took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
"Tell me more about your savagery, Ensign Ummul," William said as he continued to laugh with James at Ummul's expense.
"Well, Sir." Ummul did not want to discuss intimate mating details with these humans. But he must obey orders. "We call the spray the Invitation and it is merely a subtle aphrodisiac. Like a few glasses of your red wine." The words caught in Ummul's throat as he looked down at the haughty faces. Humans rarely acted like the small, frail species they were. Neither officer said anything, so Ummul continued, "Repecki males offer the Invitation after courtship. It simply readies the female for intimate contact both mentally and physically. There are physiological changes the Invitation induces that -"
"Stop, Ensign. You're going to make me vomit." William stopped laughing and James, following his cue, stopped too. "Now I'm picturing a giant blue female as ugly as you. If you ask me, the fleet consolidated too many outer planets, we're now bringing in the flotsam and jetsam."
"Our species are actually very similar, Lieutenant Commander." Ummul tried to relax the tense knots in his shoulders. "I do not think we are flotsam or -"
"Do not interrupt a superior officer, Ensign," James barked.
"You're aboard the Driftwood, a high-level C-class starship," William hissed at the dumb alien. "This is an assignment I'm sure you don't deserve. If you fail to please me, or Lieutenant Collins here, I'll see you reassigned to a junk hauler. Understood?"
