ChI Birth Of The Savior Irken

Chapter I: Birth Of The Savior Irken

Story By: Andrew Vargas

February 20th, 1989, In Earth time/years, an Irken child is born. "It's a boy" said the delivery machine. Sadly the mother of her newborn son never got to hear those words She died giving him birth. The machine then sent the Irken baby into a cleansing chamber(very messy birth). Not many Irkens give birth. Most are genetically engineered. Some are even killed at birth, to prevent them from becoming a tallest. Such is the fate and horrible secret. The Irken baby soon reached the Irken baby inspection room. Again, to prevent the tallest.

Today there were only six Irken babies to inspect. So the current tallest, Drax, began inspection. The Irken baby who caused his mothers death was the fourth in line. The first two Irken babies were killed, the third had passed the examination and lived. Upon the fourth inspection, the Irken child somehow managed to grab hold of his mothers cloaking device. Of course the machine knew he was there but Drax did not. When he viewed the tube, he told another Irken soldier accompanying him, "this one is empty. . . Fix the machine." The other Irken quickly replied, "y...yes tallest, at once."

The fifth Irken baby passed inspection, but sadly the sixth did not. She was also killed(the sixth Irken baby in line). So the small Irken accompanying Drax emptied the tubes with a push of a button, sending the three babies to their parents.

Irkens have one of the worst ways of discovering if their newborn(s) is alive or not. If they discover their baby pod is empty, they are told that the child's fertilization was not complete. If it's occupied, the parents are shipped off into war or planet conquering, leaving the child to be raised a little bit of their early lives by machines. When the father of the Irken child saw his pod was empty, due to the baby Irken still disguised by the cloaking device, he was shattered. Finding out his lovers death was for nothing and he had no offspring. The Irken father cried and dropped his lovers soldier-pack into the pod. He then configured the pod to blast off into anywhere in space. Just so he could forget it all.Just before he pressed the button, he was assigned to conquer a planet two galaxy's from his current location. He forgot about the pod and took off.

He arrived on the planet, but was soon ambushed. He tried to flee but the was soon shot down by blue-ish plasma liquids(water). The species he was assigned to conquer were the Tinock's of planet Tinochia. A Tinoch soldier inspected the Irkens ship, all she found were weapons and a letter of the Invader Irken lost love. She heard crying. It was the Irken baby. Tinoch's can see heat, but can't see anything cold. She discovered the Irken child was chewing on the cloaking device and was resting on her mothers soldier-pack. The female Tinochian picked up the Irken child with one hand. Trinoch's are incredibly big, fifteen times as bigger as a regular Irken, slightly taller than the tallest of Irkens. The female Tinochian read the letter.

In this letter it was written, "My beloved is dead. She died giving birth, but no child was inside, explaining the empty pod. So I drop my beloveds soldier-pack into the pod where I was to see my child. My child I were to name Opaque, the same name as my soldier nick-name. This letter too I shall send into space with the empty pod where Opaque were to be; as soon as I finish conquering the planet Tinochia. Farewell my love, I will re-name the planet over you, and I will call that day, Opaque’s day. Farewell my love, farewell my child." The female Tinoch decided to spare Opaque and take him as her child. She explained the tragedy to the Tinoch leader. The leader agreed. As long as the Irken child is raised as one of their own, and doesn't know anything of the Irken way.
