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

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.
