Growlin immediately went down the corridor to his office, where he asked his research heads to meet him. The first one to arrive was Treeowin Freeos.
“Treeowin, what a coincidence, I wanted to talk to you. I had been informed that you had been pressing to resurrect a Flayer, is that correct?” said Growlin without waiting for the other to arrive.
“Yes sir. I have. As head of the Resurrection division it is my job to investigate the animals of the old Homeworld, and we know from the records that the Flayer was one of closest evolutionary cousins, and it is also my belief that we will find out a lot about the mental powers of us when we resurrect it, as you already know sir” came the deep, almost growling voice of Treeowin. If Growlin didn’t know Treeowin he would have said the Resurrection head was angry, but he always sounded like that.
“Well then I have good news for you then. In an effort to stop this monster Thant the Council have authorised the resurrection of one, and only one, Flayer”
“Excellent sir, I will get right on it” Treeowin replied emotionlessly, and then he turned and left the room. Growlin frowned somewhat, and his ears twitched slightly, but he then shook his head and returned to his work. He stood and greeted the next of the Research section heads.

Treeowin had never really disobeyed orders directly, unless you counted guidelines that said to resurrect anything you needed permission, but they were only guidelines. He walked along and turned towards the least used section of the base upon the moon. He walked briskly towards the area which he had got for his own use. And then he turned into a high security lab.
“Anything been happening while I’ve been gone?” he growled to the tech sitting at a bunch of surveillance consoles.
“Nope, they’ve been just prowling around in there” the tech replied indicating the massive glass wall that separated the control room from an animal enclosure. Inside a big cat had just walked up to the wall and was looking at it. Treeowin knew it could not see through the glass, which was one way.

The cat was big, about the size as a Canthin, only it was on all fours. It had a midnight black pelt. The only real difference between it and a Canthin was the fact that it was on all fours, and thus the leg arrangement was different, and the fact that its head was set more like a sabre tooth tiger’s that any Terran would have recognised.


“Well, you can go now anyway. I’ll keep an eye on things here” growled Treeowin.
The tech nodded and turned to go, then hesitated, “do you…do you think it was wise to resurrect 4 of them?” he asked his boss.
“We know they had a pack structure, so I’ve resurrected a pack. Don’t worry, we are perfectly safe. We are the best lifeform our world ever came up with, after all”
The tech didn’t seem all that reassured, but nodded and left. Treeowin turned towards the creatures that the ancients called Flayers. He’d always wondered why they were called Flayers.

He found out when he went top feed them. The tech that was coming to see where Treeowin had got to found him, halfway between the 2 doors that opened onto the habitat. He immediately called security who interviewed everyone that was involved in this illicit operation. Of the Flayers there was no trace. The Forensic department of the council determined as far as they could tell that the remains were those of Treeowin, although it was hard; most of the flesh had been eaten and many of the bones had been broken. They were confident that they were still on the base though.

That was until news reached them from Truce that there had been series of deaths across all races in one small section of the spaceport. Several of the bodies had been eaten. The others appeared to have just dropped dead upon the spot. A report indicated that an agricultural ship had left port with a cargo of livestock. It appeared to be the most likely ship which the missing predators could have left on. They certainly were not in the Peace system anymore. Now the only question was where the ships had been bound.


where will those animals end up? >D
