War.
This wasn't just another serial killer, but far worse.
Our planet was being invaded by the womb of earth women, taken over by their innocent offspring. A Pollination, like my own father, was spending his seed, not across the universe, but here, solely on earth with the aim to conquer our world.
Through his children.

I had tons of questions for the good General:
"Yes, Doctor Cumulus is fully up to speed. It was his finding of the AHIV41 Virus coming on the heels of the news about the Royal Family of Tello II that brought things full circle. The rumours of a Flu virus designed by a Birth Queen to wipe out the life of a planet she wished to settle had been floating about for years. Only recently did we learn they were true."
"Yes, my partner, Mingha Khan told me about this rumour, a tall tale told by her grandmother."
"Well, Captain Curious," General Simm sighed. "the rumour turns out to be true."
"But Ming told me, this isn't the nature of a Birth Queen to another race. Only the Pollination, not his or her offspring."
"Captain Khan would have done better to believe the story. Her great-grandmother did indeed repopulate a planet in such a matter. It worked so well, the practiced remain, though for the most part in secret. It wasn't until the late Queen's journals were found amoung her belongings that we learned of the plans."
I shook my head, "The late Queen?"
"Yes." General Simm lower her head and swallowed hard.
"I am sorry to say Ming's mother, twin sister Lingha and her family were all murdered last year. A Coupe. No one survived. We informed former Captain Khan of her family death and as of four hours ago, Queen Mingha Khan of Tello II was taken into protected custody, being transferred them to New Tello II even as we speak."
Ming. Now Queen. The very role she never wanted....
"According to the official papers of the Late Queen Chinghai Lee, the AHIV41 was far better solution to ridding the "Earthling problem. While her Pollinations would indeed marry and bond with human women, there others that would serve only for breeding and then be....eliminated. There are two types of women our Pollinations are seeking out...."
"Pollinations? You mean there are more?"
"Yes, from what we gather, there are three of them. The women they seek and mate with are either very lonely, unhappy women, like Doctor Beaker, or who are rather loose and free with their love..."
"Like Jessie."
"Like Jessie."
