"It's all here. Food for a few days, my equipment and most importantly," Ava raised the small container with the pheromone, "this thing".
"Seems like you're ready. Make sure to bring them home safe," her boss Sophia said, and they parted ways.
Ava's job as a young biologist was to protect endangered species throughout the galaxy. Her next target was a group of creatures that had to be moved to a safe location from their now hostile environment.
She woke up to her ship announcing their arrival on the alien planet. She changed clothes and went outside on the red grassy land. Here, the air was breathable for humans, but local industrial activity had poisoned the land, endangering local beings.
Ava looked up on her personal helper device and located the creatures. The walk towards them took only a few minutes.
There were five of them. They were taller than 6 feet, a tad taller than Ava. Their purple humanoid like bodies were covered in long tentacles (but not long enough to touch the ground), with a pair of large eyes on their faces. Her device told her they weren't as intelligent as humans, but that they could cooperate. They were docile and generally welcoming to the presence of humans.
Unfortunately, these were some of the last of their species. Ava's job was to take them into her ship's cargo container and lead them to a new home.
Her job was relatively simple. She loaded her pheromone dispenser and burst some of it on the air. The creatures reacted positively, but didn't move from their place. Then, Ava walked a little further away and sprayed some on the air again. They seemed to notice her, but they just wouldn't budge. They'd walk briefly but ended up staying in the same place.
Ava was confused as to why it wasn't working. She checked her personal device again and read some more. It said they're very passive creatures, but they would enter intense periods of activity when met with their opposite sex.
"Damn. Does that mean you all males? That sucks," Ava said to herself.
"Why isn't this crap working anyway?" She looked at the pheromone container. "I guess you're too smart to know there aren't any females here. It's just a liquid I'm squirting."
Frustrated, Ava walked back to her ship to figure out her next step.
She spent a few hours reading resources about the creatures, but she always ended up with the problem of needing a female one.
"I don't have one of those. I don't have a fem..." she stopped short of her thoughts.
"What if I use the pheromone on myself?" Eva thought about it for a while. "Maybe they'll be attracted to me and follow me back to the ship. Ok. Spraying it on myself won't work, but what if I drink it?"
"Wait. No. That's crazy," she thought. "What if they actually think I'm their mate? Would they try to fuck me with those... tentacles?"
Ava thought about it for a minute. The idea grew on her, and she was actually starting to feel aroused by it. "Maybe I'll even have a little 'fun' with them."
Without another thought, Ava drank the whole container up.
"Ugh! Is this what your females taste like?"
