A Slither

Adam felt his mother now wrapping her arms around his chest from behind him. He could tell she was trembling with fear as she pressed her pendulous 39DD breasts tightly against his back.

"Mom what was in the chamber?" Adam asked as his eyes searched the darkened cargo bay for any movement. Obviously, whatever was inside the chamber was alive when it got out but might not be right now. They had know way of knowing how long ago the unit had failed or where the 'contents' might be.

"A Slither." answered Linda still holding his shoulders and looking around the bay like a scared rabbit.

"A Slither?!?!" Adam said in complete shock.

"Yeah." Linda confirmed as her eyes began to tear up, "We were hired to bring it back along with our regular cargo. It was supposed to be so simple and it paid so well. I just didn't count on all the problems with the ship's systems....."

'Slithers' were a stupid worm like creature some 6 to 12 feet long. They primarily ate and reproduced, during an annual breeding cycle, but they produced a much sought after milky white fluid that was considered a delicacy throughout the galaxy. So far, no one had been able to replicate it completely.

Most of the time Slithers were very docile creatures, almost like earth's cows, except during their yearly breeding season in which the beasts became very aggressive in search of a mate.

By they way his mother was clutching him he knew the creature was in its breeding cycle and it was very dangerous as any female around was now fair game.

"Is it male or female?" Adam asked, fearing the worst and wishing they had some blasters to try and protect themselves with.

"Male." Linda told him wishing she had a blaster and was wearing something other than her little body suit and heels. Clearly her daring outfit wasn't made for combat and she felt very underdressed.

Suddenly they heard something moving behind them and they quickly turned to see what it is.

What is it?

Just cargo shifting or ???????
