In the Decontamination Control Room, the Alatum scientists manipulated the test subject's body with tractor beam devices, so that she remained horizontal, that her arms were pointing away from her torso in opposite directions and her legs were comfortably spread apart with a distance of point six meters between the subject's feet.  Now they moved her body into a vertical position, with her head in the top position, facing away from the door to the control room.  The Lieutenant-Scientist, clad in his hazmat suit, first entered the airlock and then the decontamination chamber.<br/><br/>Commander-Scientist Phyllosto addressed the subject through the electronic translator and the audio speakers in the decontamination room.  He'd programmed his computer voice to a range that their electronic monitoring had called 'baritone' and spoke softly.  "Welcome aboard the Alatum starcraft, 'Seeker'.  We apologize for the manner in which you have been brought aboard, but we have our reasons for operating in this manner.  We do not wish to harm you.  You are now in our decontamination chamber.  We are going to analyze your body and then remove all bacterial, fungal and viral organisms on the surface of your skin that we detect.  My lieutenant will soon place a small device, an electro-sedative upon your head.  You will be unconscious during the decontamination process.  You might dream."<br/><br/>From behind the subject, Lieutenant-Scientist Chordata placed a crown like device upon her head.  Then he nodded to his commander.<br/><br/>The Commander activated the electro-sedative.  To all indications, it appeared that the 'human' was now unconscious.<br/><br/>The Lieutenant began the decontamination process by cutting off all of the subject's clothing....  It did not take much time before the subject was completely naked.  While it's face was very alien to the Lieutenant and it was missing wings, it had much in common with Alatum females.  Especially pleasing were the subject's breasts, hips and vagina.  He discovered, if his fellows on his homeworld were anything like himself, that Alatum males should have no difficulty in getting sexually aroused by human females.  He briefly imagined ripping off his decontamination suit and mating with her right then and there.<br/><br/>The Commander noticed his Lieutenant's biological readings and figured you what was going on with his subordinate.  "Calm yourself," the Commander said with a smile.  "We can both 'experiment' with the subject after decontamination."<br/><br/>They 'cleaned' the unconscious subject, inside and out, removing what internal waste was near the anus.  They used a mild chemical to clean her head, skin and head-hair.  They briefly covered her head with a helmet and treated the rest of her body to a brief ray bath that incinerated the outermost layer of epidermal skin cells and unprotected hair.  They rinsed the fine ash from her body.  They then gave her body tests and took samples.  It was soon revealed that the subject had no contaminants on or in her person that the scientists could recognize as being dangerous to the Alatum race.<br/><br/>The Lieutenant then removed his hazmat suit and easily carried her to the quarantine quarters.  Once there, he left the naked body on bed.  She looked very small upon it.  He pulsed her electro-sedative to provide another jolt, to keep her unconscious for two minutes after it's removal and left the quarantine/observation room.<br/><br/>As they waited behind the one-way viewing glass for her to regain consciousness, the Lieutenant confided to his Commander, "I had not imagined an alien creature could sexually stimulate me, just by being naked and in the same room.  It's a good sign, isn't it?"
