To all my sci fi readers, thank you for your emails of encouragement regarding this story. I hope that you will enjoy Chapter 2 as much as you did Chapter 1.
======================
Zhartha was busy navigating through the dense atmosphere of the planet that he had chosen to perform the necessary experiments. Its atmosphere was poisonous to him as well as the human subjects, but his laboratory was deep below its surface. Once his ship entered the huge artificial caravan created for docking, he set the computer to automatically guide and land the vehicle. He went to check on his specimens.
He enter the room marked: "SPECIMAN: MALE" and checked the monitor for vital functions. He saw that the specimen's penis was in an erect state and the male was humping as in copulating. He had not bothered to scan this specimen's brain; only concentrating on that of the female. He smiled slightly and proceeded to switch the brain monitor on to observe the male's dream.
Much in the same way as that of the female, the male was dreaming that he was copulating except this specimen was engaged with another male much to Zhartha's surprise. 'A flaw,' he noted to himself of himself. He should have checked this specimen's brain monitor during the trip. Then a smile crossed his face and he made a decision; he would alter the male's anatomy also.
"Retrieval," said Zhartha and a cylinder lowered from the ceiling. This would be his first of many collections from this specimen.
"Prepare to collect ejaculate of specimen," ordered Zhartha.
The retrieval unit slowly lowered over the human's penis and then slowly squeezed to almost a vacuum tight seal.
"Start slow pauses gradually increasing in increment until specimen releases," ordered Zhartha while he still observed the specimen's dream.
The male was now entering the rectum of another male who, in turn, was masturbating. He observed that the specimen's hips were thrusting in time with his entry into the other male's rectum.
"Arghhh," vocalized the male and began to release his sperm into the cylinder. 'It would seem that this species vocalizes release,' thought Zhartha and added that to his memory for later recording.
"Store sample and mark date of collection; keep viable," he ordered and the retrieval unit disappeared above.
Zhartha reached out his hand and cupped the specimen's scrotum; the male moaned. He softly squeezed and the male thrust upward. He released his sperm sacs, but was fascinated with the anatomy. He and all other males of his species had four and humans only had two; just another difference to note for later record.
"Probe," said Zhartha and the probe lowered from the ceiling, "scan specimen's rectum for measurement."
