have spent a fortune on my own research, but we have had no success creating a viable sample. To be blunt, without the original research team, the blenders won't blend."
    She widened her eyes and waved her hand at the wall. "Oh. So these documents…"
    "Are the last of the most advanced research done in this century." He lowered his voice and brought his head close to hers. "I even have a few samples of the blenders downstairs."
    She gasped. "How did you get them?"
    He grinned and stroked a finger down her arm. The rest of their group had moved on through the archive without them. "I applied to have them here as peacekeepers but didn't bother informing them that this is a private planet. They landed and I added them to my private collection."
    She shivered, more at the casual reference to her set than arousal. "How ingenious. What will you do if they get out?"
    "I have them in the highest security possible. The locks are coded to my DNA and no one can get in without my authorization." He pressed a kiss to her neck.
    She giggled and mentally counted down. She had five minutes before she would be dragging him, so she had better get her little sedative and mood enhancer earning its purchase price.
    Slipping it into the wine was easy. Her physiology was immune to the sedative and her calm demeanour made him suspect nothing while she sipped at her glass and he mimicked her.
    "Well, I would like to see them. Which set was it? I have heard that a few have settled down and started families. Was it one of those sets?" She bit her lip as he nuzzled her neck. Going through the motions of being interested was difficult for her.
    He smiled and took her hand. "Come, let me show you. I am sure that they would enjoy watching a little entertainment."
    The black silk of her gown rustled as they took a walk. Her left thigh exposed itself with every step, but her right remained concealed.
    The huge door that blocked the entrance to his menagerie was impressive. He pressed his hand to the plate and licked the small pad that took a saliva sample. He chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist as the door swung open.
    "Oh my. How are your prizes arranged?" Inside the facility, the bubbles of habitats with their living and sentient occupants ranged as far as the eye could see. Each one was arranged like a large park, half a kilometre or more in length and width.
    He smiled and pressed another slobbery kiss to her neck.
    "They are mostly empty right now. I am hoping to get the entire collection." He laughed.
    Zoe hid her grimace. It was not a nice kind of laugh.
    "Entire collection?"
    "Of blenders and blended beings. The genetically enhanced creatures designed to better our worlds." Dorsos puffed up with pride.
    "How smart that you are collecting them. What prompted your urge to bring them together?"
    He laughed. "It is quite simple. They are finite. They are all one of a kind and will remain so. What better to collect than living beings that will never breed? They are jewels of technology made flesh. Come and see them."
    He gripped her hand and tugged her along. Her heels clattered on the metal grating that lined the walkways. With her mind fixed on observing, she noted the wires that ran along the path.
    His sick anticipation continued until she was facing the exterior of the dome that housed her set. "There they are. What do you think?"
    She held her breath and let it out slowly as the three men inside got to their feet and slowly approached the edge of the dome.
    "Don't get too close. I don't want them to hurt themselves trying to get to you." He swayed dramatically and she caught him.
    "How did you get them into the dome?" She whispered it as she held him upright. He was going under quickly.
    "The dome retracts at my command. All I have to do is go and tell the panel to rescind the dome." He giggled and then his entire body weight was on her.
    She sighed and slowly lowered him to the floor, smiled brightly at her set and waved at the other folk
