the ground and backed far away from the doorway leading into the house where Sonia and Yolla were.
    “I’ll be back in a minute. Can you all collect your luggage, please, and wait at the transporter. Okil will give you directions.” Then Darl went inside and shut the door, making Gaia feel very nervous.
    “What’s happening?” Gaia asked Okil. “What is he doing in there?”
    “We are forgoing the trials,” Okil said. “Darl is administering a purge, so the stims will be taken from their systems.”
    “A purge?” Was it as bad as it sounded?
    “Yes. Now, if you could all gather your belongings,” Okil said, while Rikka stood by, his arms folded across his chest, his mouth pressed into a thin line. At the cuffs of his shirt, she could see faint wisps of colour trying to escape and race along his skin. But somehow he kept himself calm and his emotions in check. However, his manner concerned her. What had they got planned for the humans?
    “We can do the trials,” she insisted. Maybe if she got him to resume the trials, this whole thing could be forgotten.
    “No. We have come to an agreement, and the trials would be a waste of time. Rikka is willing to go along with Darl’s choice,” Okil said.
    “What choice?” she asked. Was the doctor into experimentation in some way? Or was he planning on drugging them all to make them more pliable when he imprisoned them, ready for them to become sex slaves?
    Okil looked at Gaia, and she couldn’t believe that a man with such kind eyes could want to hurt them. It gave her hope, and when he spoke, he confirmed that hope. “Darl has so far predicted, with one hundred percent accuracy, who each female from Earth should be matched with. The last group of females went through the trials and the female that the warrior, Quin, took with him was the one Darl had matched him with.”
    “And so this time you are going to simply go with Darl’s choices?” Gaia asked, relieved they hadn’t ruined everything.
    “Yes. Under these circumstances, it seems best. Rikka could not go into space with either Sonia or Yolla. That already narrowed it down.”
    “And Berni…” Gaia said, looking to the nervous young woman, who had dropped her suitcase again and was now busy repacking it.
    “Exactly. So you will accompany Rikka into space, and the rest of them will go to live in the mining village along the coast.”
    “What? You mean I am to be matched with Rikka?” She looked past Okil to where Rikka stood, his stance still immovable and his expression less than happy. “I would say I am the last thing he wants.”
    “But he hasn’t had the pleasure of getting to know you.” Okil smiled benevolently. “I chose my female, Tikki, and we are happy, happier than I could ever have dared to dream of. I know that when you two get to know each other, you will find that same deep happiness.”
    “Really? Because if you ask me, he doesn’t want any of us,” Gaia said.
    “Rikka,” Okil called over the sullen Karalian and then to Gaia’s embarrassment, effectively gave her to him. “This is Gaia. Darl matched her to you. I think it would be wise for you to go and get to know each other while we deal with the rest of the females.”
    “They aren’t livestock,” Gaia said.
    “At this moment that is exactly what they are,” Okil said. “They are to be herded onto the cruiser and taken to their new home. I know it seems wrong to you, Gaia, but there is a lot of work to do, processing them, before we are due back on earth to collect the next batch.”
    “Meanwhile, I am to go with Rikka and obey his every command?” she asked bitterly.
    “No,” Okil said, but then the door opened and Darl emerged with Sonia and Yolla. “But you must go with him.”
    Feeling numb, she watched for a moment as the others were put onto the cruiser, despite their protests. Issy and Berni gave a fleeting wave and then they were gone, leaving Gaia all alone with a man she did not know and who did
