Pete's POV

It was a privilege to be one of the three chosen to go to Earth and marry a human. But we were all nervous and a little scared. Would they really be as peaceful as they had seemed in the negotiations? They have such a violent history. Would they stick to the treaty? It had been a few days since Patrick, Lynz and I had returned to consciousness. It was time to learn more about what we faced.

"I'm ready when you are." I said, signaling to Patrick to start the upload. I closed my eyes and watched the transmission as it fed directly from my brain stem to my optic and auditory nerves.

Beginning Transmission Now -----

Humans have physical characteristics very similar to Corlians. At first glance, we look the same. There is a few key areas that differ. Our leaders foresee it as an exciting endeavor that will require patience and creativity. But we're confident the two worlds can find a way to blend.
Humans are a gendered people. Here's a diagram of the male and female human. (I felt my core freeze up. This could still work. Maybe.) What follows is an example of human copulation. Unlike our species, they need both to reproduce, however sexual activities occur between all gender couplings. First there will be rough diagrams. Then a few live examples will follow.

I stared at the first diagram. Man and Woman. So similar to us until you strip away the clothes. Then they are so different from us. Their sexual organs are somewhat hidden yet on display at the same time. Vulgar really but fascinating just the same.

But nothing could have prepared me for the live example. Two beings in each others arms, kissing, stroking, doing all manner of touching. It was familiar and strange all at the same time. It would have been strange to watch any beings engage in such a private activity. The added allure of seeing so many new things was more stimulating than expected. I could feel myself starting to shift into my semi-solid state but I tried hard to fight it. I couldn't tell where the others were because of the download but I really didn't want to embarrass myself by acting like a teenager with a dirty magazine. Then the couple started doing things I was completely unfamiliar with. They took turns using their mouth to pleasure each others sexual organs. Then they placed them together, fitting them like puzzle pieces. It was shortly after this that they started climaxing. I could now see that humans stayed solid throughout sex, something we could not. So this was the difference that we were expected to blend together with patience and creativity?

End Transmission -----
Oh shit. I thought I was scared before. Now I'm terrified.

Lynz's POV

No one spoke. We just stared at each other for quite some time. It was Patrick who eventually broke the silence.

"Everyone's finished the transmission? Good. We have 11 months before this is an issue so don't worry. We've got plenty of time to think about a solution."

I let out a sigh of relief. While I was completely intrigued and aroused by the transmission, and was also apprehensive. How would we be able to merge together when they stayed solid and we do not? The whole idea of copulation is for two to merge their entire being into one single space. If we stay solid, there is no arousal. If we go into semi-solid form, can they still merge? What would it even feel like?

“Don't worry, I think it will be fine.” Pete looked at me skeptically, while Patrick put on a confident face. “Really. I think I have the beginning of an idea. Or at least a place to start.” I plugged myself into the main computer and started looking up the database's information on Corlian copulation and physiology. Hundreds of years of history, facts and figures appeared before my eyes. This was going to take awhile.

Patrick's POV

“Crew members of the ship Questra, are you there? Repeat, crew members of the ship Questra, are you there?” We all confirmed through our auditory nerves and started listening.

Beginning Transmission -----

Warships from Killame are headed to Earth as I send this message. They discovered our plan to align ourselves with Humans and as a result, plan to destroy life on Earth. They know our landing date. We will no longer be going to Earth, however an attempt will be made to take the Humans you were to marry to a safe location off planet. New flight instructions are being sent to your ship now. Most likely, a Human ship carrying the spouses will meet you at a space station. We will send further instructions as we can. Best of luck to you all.

End Transmission -----

Well, I don't know if I can bluff my way through being confident about this one. I know I shouldn't look down, shake my head slowly and sigh, but I do anyway. We are going to end up living on some God forsaken moon with a solid, gendered being as a mate. If the Killamians don't kill us first.
