Rats. Think the galaxies beyond didn’t have a similar creature? Cflenia had. Its tail admittedly was shorter, its body slightly bigger and it was a delicacy for the Fodawke who’s eyes searched for movement then pounced.
It always, for some reason chopped off the hard boney tail with its teeth before swallowing the remainder of the creature whole. Those things were feeding on the Regen waste.
The waste. Let me explain, because its important that we understand about what it contained. The remains of what had been partially started but not continued because of power failure, I know you’re asking what exactly ?
Well all life is made up of complex proteins and obviously DNA plus because we’re a carbon based life form carbon.
The regen capsules were primed to produce, nay clone cells and that included everything that went with that, proteins, DNA and more.
Including growth accelerators. So there they were, these rats; busily chomping away on this stuff. Three Fodawke swooped not once but four times and each time their attacks were successful. No longer hungry, they left the things to it, to return to the nests and the hatchlings. Most Fodawke were FEMALE very few males.
Which meant, they were now reproducing at an alarming rate.
The Cflen had used tools and similar to attack where they could and destroy the nestlings, seizing the eggs which were rich in proteins. Their hands were designed with three fingers out of the five. (Though SOME Cflen had six fingers!) and such tubes were only ever found on the left hand.
They produced small sharp boney hollow tubes, that allowed the Cflen to place these tubes against the hard exterior of the egg and to pierce it. Three distinct holes, from where they could suck out the nutrients, there was a distinct mark on the Fodawke egg that showed where the egg MUST be pierced.
That mark allowed them to accurately target the necessary sac, get it wrong and they would fail to hit the main sac containing nutrients.
Cflen would feed the younger Cflen by piercing the egg, withdrawing the tubes which slid back into their fingers as they now placed their fingers against the young Clen’s lips, for them to suckle on the ends of the tubes, swallowing back, the nutrients.
It had puzzled the Cflen how the Fodawke who for generations had ALWAYS used the same breeding grounds one might say NOT having the intellect to reason?
