structure.”
    “Chemical
structure? Hell!” Roofus nearly yelled, “Living creatures. We are living
creatures.”
    “True, but all
creatures are a chemical structure,” Tabulan said, “You are lucky that you are
one of the latter ones. We know a lot about you Nestorians now, that is why you
are very little affected by our experiments and after a few more minor ones, my
experimentation regimen upon you will be finished.”
    “By what right do
you claim to do these experiments?” Roofus said, “No volunteering, nothing.
Just grab whoever and start doing your tests.”
    “We are the most
advanced empire in the entire galaxy,” Tabulan said, “What we do is for the
best of all, even if primitive nations do not understand it yet.”
    Roofus was furious
and wanted to yell insults. But then he remembered he was a spy, he was sent to
collect information on the enemy. That’s what he should do first. Now he knew
why the abductions were happening, but he needed to know why they were doing these
experiments.”
    “Suppose I give
you that,” Roofus said calmly. It took him great willpower to restrain his
anger and the Mercurian was a bit surprised by his cool voice, “but why are you
doing these experiments?”
    “We need to
understand how your body will react to our chemicals…” Mercurian Tabulan had
begun speaking when he was cut off by the sound of footsteps approaching his
lab.
    “Better close your
eyes and pretend that you are asleep,” Tabulan changed the topic, “Military men
will not be courteous with you.”
    Roofus followed
his suggestion and then he heard someone walk in.
    “Chief Tabulan,” a
voice said, “I need those results now. We are preparing for the ground
invasion.”
    Ground Invasion .
What was this newcomer babbling about, Roofus thought. Then he remembered that
he had been tracking a Mercurian invasion force and by now they must have
reached one of the planets of Nestorian Republic. He felt a certain degree of
relief knowing that he was back in his own country’s space but also felt a
shiver at the prospect of Mercurians capturing one of their planets. He just
hoped that General Bakus had received the signal he had beamed before being
captured and was coming to meet them with full force.
    “I am not done
yet,” meanwhile the scientist replied, “Why can’t you use that        
di-tri-methoquadrofenylbutline…”
    “Speak Mercurian
not Chemistry with me,” the man said irritated.
    “The Hollutan Gas,
Admiral” the scientist said.
    “Can’t,” Admiral
said, “Hollutan Gas is dark blue and their soldiers will see it. Besides, we
don’t have sufficient quantities of it because it only works in high
concentrations. You had promised a colorless, odorless gas that works in low
concentrations and that can knock the Nestorian soldiers unconscious fast.”   
    “Admiral, you
can’t just order the chemical compounds to do what you want, like you would one
of your subordinates,” Tabulan replied.
    That was it,
Roofus thought. This Hollutan Gas, that was dark blue, he had encountered it
and that’s how he had ended up unconscious. Now he remembered what had happened
after his spaceship had been pulled in by a Mercurian battleship. He had taken
out his laser gun and vowed to fight till there was any charge left in his gun
battery. He had walked around in the bay ready to fire his laser at anything
that came in and then he had smelled a strange odor from above. When he had looked
up he had seen the ceiling pumping in a dark blue gas and then he didn’t
remember anything after that.
    The admiral and
the scientist seemed to be locked in an argument as they were raising the
volume of their voice.
    “When then? When
will it be ready?” Admiral asked.
    The room and the
equipment vibrated along with the whole spaceship before the scientist could
reply. A screeching alarm rang out and blue lights started flickering above.
    “Damn, looks like
we took a hit,” Admiral said,
