Otherwhere Chapter 7: The Others Part 2

They came for Astra first. The Others. Rory studied them intently through the shimmering field. They looked like every bad alien stereotype out there. Tall, spindly, gray skinned, flat faced. The only deviation from the trope was that they had tiny eyes. The appeared to be naked but had no visible genitalia. Four of them. One had some kind of device in it’s hand that looked like a cross between a microphone and a flashlight.

“Step back from the door. Step back from the door. Step back from the door,” echoed a mechanical sounding voice. Like one of those bad speech synthesizers.

Astra stepped back and stood near her friends. The doors slid open with a soft woosh.

“What the fuck is this!” Dee demanded.

The mechanical voice said, “You are required.”

The Other on the right raised an arm and pointed to Astra, “You will come with us.”

“No, fucker! She’s not going anyplace…” Dee snarled and stalked forward.

The other with the device raised it and a loud hum emanated from it. The three girls dropped to the floor holding their heads and retching.

“Take her,” the voice said. Two of the Others moved into the cell and picked Astra up, carrying her away.

“Disobedience will be punished. Severity will increase with reiteration.”

The doors closed with a soft woosh.

When Astra regained the ability to think, she was on a table. She tried to move but found she was ‘stuck’ to the table wherever she touched it. It didn’t feel like adhesive, she just couldn’t move, like she was a part of the table.

“What do you want?” she asked. She was relieved to find that she could still talk.

“You are required.” The voice said.

“What does that mean?” she asked.

“You carry Ferzerp. We require it. We will take it.”

“What is…what do I carry?”

“Ferzerp is energy. You are a female of your species. You create Ferzerp. Ferzerp enables life. We require it.”

“Oh shit,” Astra whispered. “You’re the Others. You’re going to kill me.”

“We will harvest your Ferzerp. Destructive harvesting is wasteful and a sub-optimal result. We have studied the dominate species in this world-line and the efficiencies they have achieved harvesting Ferzerp from their symbiotes. We have instituted processes to duplicate their success. You will help us test our processes.”

Astra blinked. “But I don’t want to help you.”

“Voluntary cooperation is unnecessary.”

Astra heard machinery hum. A flexible metallic hose snaked out like a shiny tentacle with what was unmistakably a dildo on the end of it.

Astra’s eyes widened. “Wait, wait! Don’t you need me to cum to collect energy? You can do that all day, I’m not going to cum!”

Another metal tentacle snaked into view, this one with a hypodermic needle on it’s end.

“We have distilled the chemical triggers for arousal and will inject them. Voluntary cooperation is unnecessary.”

The hum grew louder as the needle and the dildo disappeared from her line of sight, moving down her body. The table’s force field pried her legs apart. She felt the phallus at her opening and suddenly felt a sharp pain at the cleft of her sex as the needle plunged home. She screamed and was suddenly drowning in arousal as her conscious mind receded.

“Voluntary cooperation is unnecessary” the voice repeated.
