Chapter Text
The ship was first discovered drifting in space avoiding most planets that would be considered hostile. Which Nefarious thought was weird but not worthy of looking into when he saw it a week ago.
He was working on a weapon that would destroy his nemesis Captain Qwark.
“ Sir that Ship is back within our sector “
Lawrence says as he walks up to him holding the tablet to show his superior.
Nefarious waves him away not interested in a ship or its pilot who was lost.
“ It's probably some stupid squishy who doesn't know their way around the Galaxy”
He says
“ If they come near the space station have the defense system annihilate them “
He adds never really looking up from the weapon.
“ That's the thing, Sir, the Ship is requesting to be granted access to bord our station for fuel and well I have granted them access “
Nefarious turns on Lawrence his optics narrowing.
“ YOU WHAT?!, WHY!”
“ We have scanned the ship and it's a Lombax defense starfighter “
“ I don't care about the ship’s class, you let a space rat onto my station!”
Nefarious yells as he walks by Lawrence heading to the hanger where the ship would surely be docked.
His gears were grinding as he marches towards the hanger.
“ Computer proform a bio scan on that ship !”
“ Yes, Dr.Nefarious “
It was quiet for a few seconds.
“ Scan indicates two lombax kits “
Nefarious stops when he hears that.
“ Come again?, Kits?”
He questions
“ Yes Sir as I was going to tell you before you stomped off, The ship was on autopilot and is housing two infants which is why I didn’t figure them as a threat “
Lawrence says as he walked up to him.
Nefarious turns on Lawrence again but not in a threatening matter.
“ They are still Squishes Lawrence !”
Turning on his heel and goes back to head to the hanger.
He just got his space station built in a sector of the Polaris Galaxy where Tachyon would leave him alone till he could dethrone the little pest but he could wait.
They both enter the hanger to see the lombax ship. It was red with orange highlights and markings. The hanger troops were already fueling the ship.
“ You Lombax ship open your hanger !”
Nefarious orders.
“ No, you are showing hostile intent “
The Ship’s AI responds.
Sentient AI, Interesting.
Nefarious thinks before he clasps his hands behind his back.
“ Fine if I promise I won't hurt your cargo will you open the hatch ?”
He asks
“ This better include everyone in this hanger and security turrets as well “
The AI responds.
Nefarious was impressed this AI was observet in its surroundings.
He snaps his fingers which forces all the security in the hanger to shut down.
“ Disengage your weapons “
He orders
The Troops obey.
There's a hiss from the Lombax ship as the hanger starts to lift open.
He walks over to peer inside.
Just as Lawrence said there Two lombax kits.
He couldn't tell if they both were the same gender or not he's never seen Lombaxs before.
One in the driver seat was golden yellow fur with brown stripes, cream underbelly, large ears, a tail with a tuff of fur at the end, and large emerald green eyes.
The other one in the passenger seat had white fur with pale blue stripes, silver underbelly, large ears, bushy tail, and had large sodalite blue eyes.
He stares at them just as they stare at him with curious faces.
“ They look the same except for the tails”
“ the one in the passenger seat is a girl and the other is a boy “
Nefarious walks away from the cockpit.
“ Fill the ship up and send them away“
“ Your showing mercy to Squishes how unlike you “
Lawrence says
“ They are too cute to annihilate “
He mumbles while he makes his way to exit the hanger when one of his Terachnoids comes in.
“ Sir an Emperor Percival Tachyon has entered our sector “
He says
Nefarious growls.
“ Can you take them? I'm fueled up but I know Tachyon will follow me and shoot me down to kill them “
“ Why would I take two squishes?”
“ They are Lombaxs right ?”
Nefarious looks back at the Terachnoid.
The Terachnoid rises his hands up in defense.
“ Sir Lombaxs are the Galaxies greatest engineers in all known Galaxies having them would benefit you “
The Terachnoid adds.
“ A race of Squishes that is being hunted down by the same person who just entered my sector of the Polaris Galaxy?”
He says
“ Yes they made the tech he is using now to kill them imagine what these two Lombaxes could do when they reach adulthood, they could help you dethrone Tachyon “
The Terachnoid says
Nefarious thinks while looking at the ship then back at the Terachnoid.
“ FINE, Lawrence get them “
He yells.
“ Sir if I might interject but I think it's best for you to get them to start the imprinting process”
Nefarious looks at where Lawrence stood by the ship.
Nefarious growls as he walks over knowing that Lawrence was right. Leaning over grabbing the boy by the scarf of his neck and shoulders met which causes the boy's feet to curl up like a kitten with his right hand.
He did the same with the girl with his left.
“ There I have them”
“ Sir I doubt that's how you hold them”
Lawrence advises him as he grabs the two bags that wherein the backseat of the ship.
The ship closes the cockpit.
“ Thank you “
She says before she leaves the hanger before hyper jumping into another sector of the Galaxy.
Nefarious lifts both kits to where they looked him in his optics.
They were curled up and stare at him with wide eyes and chests heaving in rapid movements.
“ Sir I believe you are scaring them by holding them like that “
Lawrence says as he walks up to him holding two large bags on his shoulders.
Nefarious sighs and cradles them in his arms like he's seen what mothers do in holomovies.
“ This is embarrassing “
he mutters while he walks away with Lawrence following behind.
“ So do we know how old they are ?”
He asks
“ The ship said they are barely a year old “
Nefarious lets out an aggravated sigh.
They enter the living quarters where a large couch, large holoscreen tv, coffee table, and bar resided in the area.
Setting the kits down on the couch while Lawrence puts the bags on the coffee table.
“ All right let's see what in these “
Nefarious says as he unzipped the first bag.
He was quite surprised to see an OmniWrench Millennium 12 which sat on top,
He sets the wrench aside.
There's a pair of weird-looking boots but on closer inspection, he saw they were hover boots, a blanket, some kind of book on parenting for lombaxes, few canisters of formula.
When he opens the next bag.
He saw Omnihammer millennium 13 which sat on top of the other bag.
This one had a pair of goggles, an orange scarf, few canisters of formula, a blue blanket, and few bags of diapers.
Nefarious picks up one of the bags of diapers looks at it.
“ Those are diapers sir to clean them when they well you know “
Lawrence says which Nefarious cringes at the thought.
“ Speaking of which I think it's best to check them now and learn how to change a diaper “
Lawrence says
Nefarious stands up not wanting to do any of this parenting.
“ You do it”
He orders about to leave the room but stops when he hears chirping noises.
Looking over his shoulder to see that both of the kits making the noises at him while they rolled around on the couch tempting to sit up straight.
“ I believe they want you, sir “
Lawrence says
Nefarious sighs.
“ Fine but you're helping me !”
He yells pointing a finger at the robotic butler.
Lawrence just chuckles.
“ Of course Sir”
He says.
If Nefarious hated Squishes before he surely hated them now when he had to clean and girl while Lawrence cleaned the boy showing him how to clean them and change their diapers.
“ Disgusting “
Nefarious growls as he wipes the girl kit's butt with a wipe from one of the bags.
“ It's not that bad Sir, think of it this way when they start to get older you won't have to do this anymore”
Lawrence says finishing up on the boy’s diaper.
“ And how many times do I have to change them?”
“ I would recommend four to five times a day or every three hours “
“ At least you got the formula for them “
Lawrence says as he opens one of the canisters.
“ Shall I show you how to make a bottle for them sir ?”
Nefarious glares at Lawrence cause he can sense the Butler was enjoying himself with teaching him how to raise the kits.
Making the formula wasn't that hard just needed a bottle which both bags came with four each a couple of scoops of the white powder and warm water then shake the bottle.
The kits had managed to sit on the couch were staring at one another while reaching and poking each other.
The girl spots Nefarious and makes a chuffing noise which makes the boy look in his direction and also chuffs with her.
“ Well they know when they are being fed and they make a noise to tell you they are hungry “
Lawrence says
“ Can’t they talk ?”
“ Sir they are babies they are talking but not in words you going to need to listen to them to understand what they want “
Lawrence says.
Nefarious was all ready regretting taking them in he didn’t expect to have to learn a new language which was just them making noises.
Nefarious fed the boy this time while Lawrence fed the girl.
Nefarious watched at the boy grabbed onto the bottle with his little five digits hands and drinking the contacts.
“ When he’s done be sure to burp him “
“ Burp him?”
“ Yes, just hold him to close to your chest with his head over your shoulder and lightly pat his back till you hear him burp “
Nefarious rolls his optics but dose what Lawrence instructed.
He hears a little burp from the kit.
He pulls the kit away from him and looks at him which the kit dose a chirping while reaching for him.
“ See Sir they are imprinting on you “
“ I don’t understand this imprinting you speck of”
“ It means they will see you as their parent and will be loyal to you “
Nefarious puts the kit down at his side on the couch.
Lawrence puts the girl down by the her counterpart who mewed while he bounces when she was sit down.
They had a animate conversation of chrips, chuffs, mewing and purring.
Nefarious watches them for a moment learning the noises.
Lawrence leaves to get back to his chores leaving Nefarious alone with the kits.
He hears a yawn which he looks to see they where both on their sides curling into one another in one huge ball of fur.
He grabs the two blankets coving them to keep them warm.
While they slept he grabs the remote to the holo screen.
Turning it on to the news which was showing Caption Qwark.
Nefarious growls but watches the news anyway it’s not like he could leave the kits alone.
Spotting the book he picks it up and starts to read it.
The book wasn’t exactly helpful in anyway which he tosses it in the trash.
Nefarious sighs as he lays on his side facing the kits using his body like a safety rail to ensure the kits didn’t fall off the couch.
I’ll see if I can get more help in watching you two.
He thinks before powering down imitating sleep.
Lawrence comes back to inform Nefarious that Tachyon had left the sector going after the AI ship like it said the employer would but stops when he sees that his boss and kits were sound asleep.
“ I’ll come back later “
He says before leaving the room
