Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Marinah

King walks forward and nods to one of the inside guards who immediately lowers his head. The guard gives me an unhappy side eye.

King takes my focus off the guard when he speaks. “We use Neodymium super magnets charged with electricity to keep them from moving more than a few inches. What we find interesting is they seem to know and don’t fight it. They almost go into a coma-like state after they realize they can’t escape.”

It’s time to look at the reason for my nightmares. Their flesh is a dark gray with twisted muscle for arms and legs that doesn’t look like it should twist in those directions. Patches of short dark hair cover most of their bodies. Long, lethal claws extend out at the end of all extremities. The genitalia is gone on both or they’re female or they had none to begin with.

Why is he showing me this? It’s wrong and they should be killed.

This will be at the top of the report to the Federation when I return home.
