Wildstar is the property of NCSOFT and Carbine Studios. A Study on Lopp... FOR SCIENCE! "Stupid mechari." Nefarious muttered to himself "Why choose chua? This not job for chua!" The red furred chua cursed his luck. The planet of Chloros III had recently been discovered by a Dominion scouting probe. Initial scans of the planet showed high concentrations of Galactium ore, which made the planet a prime interest to the Dominion. Nefarious had been told he was being sent on scientific expedition, but this was not science! There was no destruction, no carnage, only scanning some rocks and plants. A data probe returned to Nefarious, displaying the results of a recent mineral scan. He hardly looked at the data as he sent it strait to his datachron. He sighed to himself as he pushed through the foliage of the planet's jungle climate. Even the plants here were boring, showing no signs of toxic properties or carnivorous tendencies. He pushed through another set of bushes and found himself overlooking a steep cliff that gave him a good view of the surrounding area. Mostly he could only see the tops of trees, but there was one thing that caught his attention. In the distance he could see a small trail of smoke wafting into the sky. The smoke did not appear to be coming from a wildfire, it was more controlled. That could only mean one thing, sentient life. Maybe this expedition wouldn't be so boring after all. Nefarious spent the next hour making his way towards the smoke. The thick foliage made it hard to see the smoke and even harder to stay on course, but he could tell he was getting close when he started to smell smoke on the wind. As he drew closer he picked up another scent in the air, the scent of burning hallucinogenic herbs. He began to have suspicions about who these strangers were. His suspicions were confirmed when he saw strings of brightly colored lanterns strung through the trees and wooden huts build in the tree tops. Lopp. Somehow the race of treasure hunting lagomorphs had managed to stay neutral in interstellar politics. However that also meant that they were not under Dominion protection. Evil thoughts began to bubble up in Nefarious's brain. Surely no one would notice if one little lopp village went missing. It seemed that he would get an opportunity to do some real science after all and he knew just gadget he wanted to test. Only one lopp guard stood at the village gate, his sharped stick held upright next to him. As Nefarious approached the guard he was greeted with the usual lopp enthusiasm. "Hello friend! You come for shinies?" "Don't care about shinies. I came... FOR SCIENCE!" Nefarious pulled out an odd looking contraption and pointed it at the lopp before pressing a big red button on it. An arc of electricity fired from the device and hit the lopp dead on. As electricity coursed through the lopp he began to shrink in size. His cloths were unaffected by the beam and began to fall loosely around him as he shrank. He continued to shrink until he was just a small lump under his own shirt. The lump shuffled around searching for a way out of its cloth prison. When he finally emerged he looked up in shock. The once similar sized chua now towered over him. "What you do to Lopp?!" the tiny rabbit demanded. Nefarious spoke a quick record into his datachron. "Preliminary shrink ray test shows great promise. However, shrinking process seems painless, must fix that. For now, will begin secondary tests. Test one: What lopp taste like?" Upon hearing this the lopp attempted to run, but his small size made it easy for Nefarious to catch up and swipe him up with his paw. Nefarious promptly tossed the bite-sized lopp into his mouth, his tongue quickly slathering the poor lopp in saliva. The taste was a bit gamier than he expected, but not bad. He continued to roll the lopp around on his tongue savoring more of the flavor before spitting the lopp back into his paw. The lopp coughed and hacked as he choked on saliva. When he finally recovered he looked up at the chua with pleading eyes, his body shivering from both fear and the chill of the air on his saliva soaked fur. "Why you do this to Lopp?! What Lopp ever do to you?!" He begged to know, his mind unable to comprehend such unfathomable cruelty. "Is own fault for being stupid. Should know better than to trust chua." Nefarious mocked him. "Now test two: How long lopp last in chua stomach?" The lopps eyes went wide as he was swiftly deposited back the chua's mouth. This time the tongue worked with purpose pushing the lopp to the back towards his throat. The lopp scrambled to get any kind of hold in the mouth, but to no avail. The tongue was too strong and the surface too slick with saliva. The felt himself begin to slid down the precipice of no return, the walls quickly tightening around him as he transitioned from the chua's mouth to its throat. Nefarious began to swallow, slowly pulling the poor lopp down his throat. The lopp's struggles were put on hold as the tight throat muscles constricted his movements. He could feel each contraction pull him further into the chua's body. Soon his feet pressed up against a tight ring of muscle. The ring slowly opened allowing the lopp to slide into the chua's stomach which was actually quite roomy due to his diminished size.He immediately ran to the stomach walls and began to pound on them, his panicked mind seeking escape. "No! No! Let Lopp out!" His cries went unanswered by the unfeeling stomach. His large ears picked up a loud gurgling sound before the walls began to secrete a foul liquid. It oozed from the walls and dripped from the ceiling, covering the lopp in a layer of slime. His skin itched as the digestive juices began to break it down. His panic went into overdrive as he scratched his skin, vigorously trying to remove the source of irritation. Patches of his fur began to fall away further exposing his skin to the corrosive acids. The itching intensified to a burn as the acids continued to assault his flesh. His ears were the first thing to start going, oozing blood down onto his head as the digestive enzymes made quick work of the thin pieces of flesh. The rest of skin began to deteriorate, leaving his muscles exposed to the vicious stomach acids. He cried out as pain wracked his senses and collapsed into a quivering heap. Soon he was laying in a pool of his own blood, crying out as the pain became too much to bare, waiting for death to claim him. Nefarious paid close attention to his stomach as it went to work, trying to judge the exact time of his prey's demise. However, when motion finally ceased in his stomach it was hard to tell how long the lopp had actually survived. "Hmm, test inconclusive. Need more data. Initiating final test: How many lopp fit in chua stomach." Nefarious made his way into the lopp village. There were a few lopp scattered about, most of them looking at him with curiosity as he passed. Unfortunately for them, none of them had seen what had happened to the front guard. He continued to make his way around until he found a more extravagant hut adorned with gold and jewels; Likely the chieftain's hut. He approached a female lopp that was standing just outside the hut. "Greetings stranger. What bring you to humble lopp village?" she asked. This time Nefarious didn't even answer as he drew his shrink ray and blasted the chieftain. The rest of the lopp gasped in surprise at the sudden attack. As soon as the chieftain was done shrinking, Nefarious snatched her up a tossed her in his mouth. This threw the other lopp into a panic. Many of them ran, but a couple of guards rushed Nefarious with their makeshift spears. The spears easily broke against his armor, drawing a cackle from him. "Stupid lopp! Pointy sticks no match for chua science!" He turned the shrink ray on each of the guards. He made sure to gobble up them before turning back towards the village. "Lopp hunting season open!" he pronounced with a malicious grin. As the chieftain dropped into Nefarious's stomach, she landed in a puddle of foul smelling liquid. Mixed among the sludge were some solid objects. The chieftain's blood ran cold as she realized what they were; Bones. Suddenly she heard a slurping sound come from above before a heavy weight fell on her, pushing her down into the sludge. She struggled to get the weight off her and managed to push it to the side. The object in question began its own struggle, before the chieftain realized what it was; Another lopp. She embraced him, trying to provide what little comfort she could to the panicking lopp. Lopp began to fall in periodically now, joining the chieftain and the rest in the putrid pit of a stomach. As the stomach filled out, lopp were forced to pile onto each other, pushing their brethren further into the acid secreting walls. The chieftains skin began to burn. She tried to remain strong for the other, but could only take so much before the pain became too much for her. Her wails joined those of her people as their ravaged skin was rubbed against one another. The lopp in the middle were in for a particularly hellish experience as they were forced to listen to their loved ones' cries of agony, giving them a preview of what was to come. Slowly the anguished cries died away as more and more lopp succumbed to the deadly acids. The final lopp floated silently in a pool of his digested friends and family, the sheer horror of the situation leaving him breathless. He didn't know what they had done to deserve such a terrible fate or how such a cruel creature could exist, but his mind was finally granted peace as death took him. "What have you to report?" The metallic voice asked over the intercom. "As expected, planet shows high concentrations of Galactium ore." Nefarious replied while patting his belly. "Excellent. What of the planet's fauna? Does the planet contain any intelligent life?" The mechari further inquired. "Planet population status: Uninhabited." He replied before belching loudly into the intercom.
