"NOW JUST A COTTON PICKIN MINUTE!" yells the cop.  "Are you sayin that the only way to cure this woman is to EAT her?"<br/><br/>"Yes."  says Lurker.  "I'll explain.  When I was in the alien machine genetically engineering my new form, I knew we'd need a way to cure people.  But the machine was programmed to interpret every gengeneering alteration in light of it's prime directive of destroying the human race.  While the directive of "impregnation of human females" was the least destructive directive I could find, it means that I am physically compelled to impregnate someone in return for curing someone.  Instinct takes over and I'll kill anyone who tries to stop me from mating."<br/><br/>"But", says Ash.  "Isn't there some way around it?  I mean, you're SWALLOWING her for God's sake!"<br/><br/>"There's no way around swallowing.  I knew I wouldn't have a lab full of medicine.  So I gave myself a foregut, like some creatures have to swallow spare food to digest later.  Then I added spiracular tentacles to provide my "patients" with air.  There's no way she can smother inside me.  Then I added fluidic tentacles to inject antivenom into every orifice and guarantee a cure.  The machine's program forced me to make the tentacles inject pregnancy hormones as well, to maximize pregnancy potential.  But...I might not have to impregnate her.  If one of you volunteers to become pregnant, I could swallow you too, and impregnate you instead of her.  It's the only alternative I've got.  I'll get those eggs out of her while you decide if you want me to swallow you and get you pregnant, instead of getting her pregnant".  With that he slides his tongue up her ass and starts eating eggs.  Her belly starts to shrink as you watch.
