strange mating practices, Rak observed.
Noo shrugged a little uncomfortably. It is not that unusual. The dirg and the mybi gather to mate once a year on Ra.
Yes, but they are solitary creatures most times. If they did not gather during the mating season they would have no one to mate with!
These are alien creatures, Dae pointed out. We cannot expect them to behave as Mother Ra's creatures do!
We are wasting time here, Noo said impatiently. You two stay here. I will make myself appear as a female and discover what I can.
Dae and Rak exchanged a look.
I suppose you expect us to believe you will not seize the opportunity to mate with Kate if it presents itself, Dae said sarcastically?
Noo narrowed his eyes. I am the alpha. I will mate first in any case.
We will go with you, Rak said hurriedly. Closing his eyes, he summoned an image of the female form and struggled to conform his mass into that shape. He discovered when he had managed the transformation that both Noo and Dae were looking at him strangely. He looked down at himself, but he thought that he had managed the shape well enough. What?
Noo and Dae exchanged a look.
You are a very tall female, Noo said finally.
Rak frowned at him. If I am not tall, then I will have to be wide and I do not want to be wide!
You are an ugly female, Dae said tightly. You might just as well be wide also! And it is not a bad thing.
You do not want the males inside to try to mate with you.
They hit another snag when they tried to go in the second time.
"The show is nearly over-I'll let you go in for ten credits," the woman at the front told them.
The three exchanged uneasy looks, trying to recall some reference to credits that would explain what the woman wanted. Angry when he could not, Noo focused on the woman and searched her mind. A blank look crossed her features after a moment. Surprised, Noo sent a questioning look at Dae.
Dae shrugged. Her mind has gone blank. What do you suppose caused that?
She is not accustomed to speaking with her mind. Perhaps it is that?
I think we should go before anyone notices that you have fucked up her mind, Rak said uneasily.
I have not fucked up her mind, Noo snapped, but he turned and strode briskly toward the entrance to the mating hall.
Rak had turned to leave, but when he saw that Noo and Dae were hurrying inside, he followed them. All three of them jolted to a halt once they were inside, stunned at the teaming, screaming mass of females.
Gods! There are so many, Rak exclaimed!
It is just as I suspected, Noo growled, scanning the room. There are males in here!
Those are for security, Dae said dismissivly, and then froze when he spied the males that seemed to have captured the attention of all of the females. Those are performing … a mating dance!
Noo studied them for several moments. Gods! There are only six of them and there are hundreds of females here! They cannot all expect to mate with those few, he said angrily, far more worried that Kate had come here to be part of the mating ritual than he had been before he had seen the males.
Dae was studying the reaction of the females to the gyrating males on the platform. We could imitate them, he said doubtfully.
Why are they stripping off their protective skins, Rak asked doubtfully?
To incite the interest of the females, clearly, Noo retorted tightly. Do you not see the way they scream and jump up and down with excitement each time the males take another piece of the skins off?
Dae studied the females for a while and transferred his attention to the males again. I did not think they would look like that without the skins. I am certain the males on the space station did not-not just as these do, at any rate. These are more muscular and undoubtedly far stronger. Maybe the security guards, he added doubtfully.
Obviously this is why the females are here, Noo responded tightly. These must be mating males and the others are only for … whatever it is that they do on the space
