Lexx did not have to think hard on the situation. He loathed even the thought. The only thing he had any control over WAS his body. Past the processes key to his employment, the ADC could not ‘harvest’ his organs or any part of him without his permission and there was no way he would give it.
‘They are asking me,… is MY life worth more because it’s mine,… than children?’ Lexx allowed the thoughts to sort through his head. Not because he needed it, but because it was just too horrible to believe. ‘MY children? It doesn’t matter that I’d never see them, just the thought of having children and putting them in my place. Do they realize,.. maybe some could, but how can I pay for my freedom in innocent blood? How could I keep my life and condemn even one child to relive my time in THAT place? MY one child? I doubt I’ll ever have any of my own, but if I did, there is just no way. I’d want a better life for them,… not the same. I would not be able to live with myself.’
Lexx spread his wings, shaking as he spoke, “I would rather die and never have a child than sacrifice them to the game!”
“So be it.” The contact didn’t sound disappointed or upset. “If that is your decision, we advise you against any further relationship with the human female.”
“You can tell me to play my game as work, but you cannot control everything,…” Lexx snapped at the implied threat. “Otherwise,.. what separates me from a slave?”
