Evolution (part 3)


Note: Recently I found an old journal of mine. But due to the way I wrote things down I’m not sure if it was a story idea of mine or something I read or saw on TV. Either way I will write a four part story based on what I had written in the journal.

Evolution
(Part 3 of 4)

You are what you eat. - Victor Lindlahr
Never complain about farming with your mouth full. – A Farmer

A Nikushoku ship that had been orbiting a planet called Aka-Kasei begins its decent to the surface. It makes its way to one of the largest dome structures of the planet that is thousands of miles across and containing a most precious commodity, the main food source for the entire Nikushoku-Konchu and Shigai species.

The ship connects up to the landing structure as robots and machine units connect passageways and cargo areas to the main loading area. As containers are carried to and from the ship, several Nikushoku-Konchu make their way to an office area where others of its kind are waiting for them. After formal greetings the Nikushoku show their guest around the facility.

A facility that is located on a barren planet with a thin atmosphere and not enough air to even breathe properly. As they move around the area, they see the machinery and robots basically running the whole place. Their presents are basically to maintain them and to calm their livestock if they got out of hand, which rarely happens. But mainly to conduct experiments to increase their food stock.

In a huge warehouse area that could house the largest city of the known world, contains a population of over 40 million species the Nikushoku call Pinku Ushi. The whole dome structure contains six such warehouses on a planet that has nineteen more such dome structures on it. In one of these structures is a research facility that these Nikushoku have come here to see the results of an experiment.

They travel pass many caged rooms that look very similar to a Shigai apartment. But instead of Shigai there are several large Pinku Ushi that are well fattened up. Looking over test result, quality and the equipment used to create this breed of Pinku Ushi, going so far as even eating one of them. Seemingly please with the results they continue their tour of the dome facility. A question never asked was how does something so big are able to have offspring. Unable to reproduce on their own, they are given a helping hand from the Shigai people.

Every Shigai females on their home world has one of their ovaries removed by a certain age. The eggs are fertilized by a supply of sperm also taken from the male Shigai. Making sure every egg develops and then grown inside chambers for a certain time. During that time of development, the Nikushoku change the DNA around to increase the body mass and structure. Making sure the best meats of the body develop properly.

Over the years of DNA modification, if a newborn Shigai shows signs of a future defect later on in its life, the Nikushoku will take it to this planet for detail study. Several Shigai babies are collected from time to time for experimental studies at this facility or from some of the Nikushoku who are simply hungry.  The parents are never suspicious due to the nature of their upbringing. They firmly believe the Nikushoku will always protect the Shigai with their life and never harm them in any way. Little do the Shigai know that they are food for the Nikushoku.

A population passing 5 billion at times on this world making sure the Nikushoku and the Shigai population are well fed. Whatever scraps are left over from the newborn Nikushoku along with the bio waste from both species are sent back here to feed the Pinku Ushi. Even some of the Pinku Ushi are processed to feed their own kind if needed.

To describe the Pinku Ushi is a sight to see. Barely able to stand up due to their size, they huddle together for warmth. The Pinku Ushi are unable to properly use the bathroom so they simple pee or poo with no moral thought about where they are. Others of its kind simply eat the waste including whatever foods are placed in their cell off of each other. The Nikushoku breed only females for the extra breast meat.  Also to make sure that no offspring are accidently created.

Their average weight before they are processed is around 1,400 pounds (635 kg). They share a space with about six to eight others of its kind. Water is placed in small pool-like area that is big enough for only one Pinku Ushi.  Even as the water is constantly refreshed and clean, it quickly becomes very filthy as food and waste are constantly mixed in with it while the Pinku Ushi take turn drinking from it.

Their arms and legs are so huge that they only make an effort to move around when they are hungry. To do so, they use their elbows and knees to crawl around on the floor. Their fingers are so huge that they bend together as one. You cannot even see the vagina area due to the extra body mass blocking its view. They have no hair due to side effects of their DNA alterations. As they are all breed to be only females, their breast can weigh as much as 35 pounds (16 kg). Only the high ranking Nikushoku have the pleasure of enjoying these types of meat.

When all the Pinku Ushi in a cage reaches their desire weight, a robot will appear to activate a sensor implanted in their brain that will kill them instantly. The robots then guide the bodies to the part of the floor with a built in conveyor belt that will move them to the passageway conveyor belt that carries them to a processing center in that area. In a short period of time, this group of Pinku Ushi is cleaned, processed and ready for transport to their final destination. Any scraps left over are fed back to the rest of the Pinku Ushi.

The cage is sprayed clean as a new group of Pinku Ushi are brought in and deposited into their new home. They have been age accelerated to look the age of 10 but mentally the age of a newborn. Weighing around 190 pounds (86 kg) they speak in forms of grunts and facial expression as they are not educated but breed for only one purpose in life; as food.

Nearly everything of this species is used. All the blood and fluids are cleaned, processed and packaged with added drug mixtures for the Shigai to drink. The best meats are sent to the Nikushoku-Konchu home world. The bones, ligaments and internal organs are all turned into different forms of food. Even the skin is processed as food or as clothing for the Shigai children to wear. And just like the Nikushoku, the Shigai do not cook their food. They eat it raw.

In time, this new crop of Pinku Ushi will be ready for processing in less than 10 years’ time. And harvest time is every day, somewhere on this planet. Food processed and packaged, loaded up and delivered to two different worlds on a clockwork schedule. Even if the Shigai knew where their food source was coming from, there was nothing they could do. Even though both groups are of the same race, they already looked completely different. The Shigai are slender, healthy and strong while the Pinku Ushi looked more like a mutated pig than an offspring of a Shigai.

In one research lab they are testing a group of Pinku Ushi on how quickly they can shorten their growth cycle. In this group, they were able to speed up their growth in just under five years’ time. They watch their growth even at the cellular level to make sure there will be no abnormalities. If all goes well, the twenty more domes currently under construction will provide a more permanent food source for the Nikushoku-Konchu.

The Nikushoku do have a twisted since of humor. They will place a Pinku Ushi and a male Shigai in a cage together to watch them interact with each other. The male Shigai, who is driven to reproduce, will try to mate with the Pinku Ushi, just as the Pinku Ushi will try to eat the Shigai. As a more twisted sense of fun is whatever the outcome of the game, the Shigai and Pinku Ushi are both left to be eaten by the other Pinku Ushi. Games like this provide the Nikushoku with a more God-like superiority over the whole Universe.

They celebrate their talents of recreating a species into two different life forms. They marveled of the many worlds they have conquered. Their species, with a rather long life span are living on more and more worlds. The Pinku Ushi is the perfect food source for them. And as this planet is used as a food processing planet, they are creating facilities like this on other worlds. But in order to do this the Shigai would have to multiply as well. Or do they?

The visiting Nikushoku enter a test lab where the Shigai race are recreated using a new genetic engineering process. They have finally learned to reprogram the egg and sperm of the Shigai to multiply upon fertilization. From a simple fertilized egg, eight to twelve newborn Shigai can be created.  Plus they are able to rewrite the genetic code of the Shigai to make it into any shape or form they choose it to be. Looking at this new creation inside its cage was a sight

The Nikushoku created both sexes of this new species, giving it a different way of self-reproducing. More breasts were located along the belly. Its arms and legs were made shorter and stronger to easily move around. The face was elongated so they can easily reach the food and water.  This gave it a flat nose connected to its upper lip or jaw. You cannot see the neck as it was part of the upper shoulder and the head. A side effect covers their entire body with short thick hair. The Nikushoku called this new species Nakajinagu.

The Nakajinagu grew well in lab conditions. They would eat anything that it was given. The rottenness of meat to a live Shigai, the Nakajingu didn’t care what it ate. If approved by their leaders they plan to take a few of them to the Shiga home world of Konchu no-Su to see if they can survive there. The Nakajinagu’s DNA had been altered so much so that they look nothing like the Shigai. Plus the area they plan to do their test on the Nakajinagu will be on a series of islands in the northern hemisphere of the planet, far away from the containment cities of the Shigai.

If all goes well, in a short time this new breed will be carried to other worlds to eat anything the Nikushoku will let it eat. In a short time they can multiply there numbers greater than all the Pinku Ushi on Aka-Kasei. In a short time they can replace the Shigai as food for their offspring. In a short time the Shigai, once the human race that considered their species the top of the food chain, will be permanently placed at the very bottom.
