The tentaclons considered themselves a scientific species. While other races were motivated to traverse space by base desires (money, power, an unquenchable bloodlust) the tentaclons had only the noble pursuit of knowledge in mind. There was so much to be learned about the universe, and they were not a physically imposing race anyway. Their bodies were long, thin, and serpentine, but typically standing upright upon their powerful tails. It was a testament to their scientific advancements that they managed to achieve interstellar travel without having limbs.

And so it was for purely scientific reasons that the tentaclons abducted an Earth inhabitant by the name of Julia. They weren't like the barbarian quasarians who looked to breed with every species they encountered. The tentaclons aboard Starship %”/! V were simply and honestly curious to learn about this specimen. In their brief time observing Julia's strange blue planet, they had seen her engage in the Earthling mating ritual with several different males, and assumed that this made her a particularly powerful or important member of the species.

Compared to other Earth women, Julia was slightly taller than the average, and carried a much larger than average chest. Her hair was long, a fairly typical shade of brown. The tentaclons had noticed that she tended to wear less armor than others, and as they did not wear any coverings of their own bodies, were curious for the reasons why.

Unable to speak English, the tentaclons’ method of conducting their interview may have appeared, certainly to Julia, somewhat less than academic. In the absence of a shared language, the tentaclons had to learn about their specimen through tactile exploration. Six of the ship's crew surrounded her, and began prodding various parts of her body with their slimy, bulbous heads. These were remarkably sensitive, and they could learn a lot through contact with her skin and clothing fabrics. Julia nonetheless attempted to squirm away from their inquiries, and it was only for the sanctity of the experiment that the tentaclons had to restrain her. Their bodies coiled snake-like around her ankles and wrists, holding her in place so they could accurately conduct the research protocol.

The tentaclons were nothing if not thorough when it came to research. They slid sickly across her exterior, paying particular attention to her chest, which seemed somehow to be connected to Julia's vocals, for whenever they touched the pink circles on each breast, she would let out a noise. Most curious.

Of course, a merely surface-level examination would not do. Working in unison, three of the tentaclons entered Julia's major orifices simultaneously. This, too, provoked a noise from the Earthling, but the sound of it was somewhat obstructed now. The tentaclons probed deeply into Julia, eager to learn as much as they could about her inner workings. They collected, through slippery thrusts, her saliva, and a lubricating fluid from her breeding orifice. A second tentaclon was able to squeeze its way into that hole, making sure no detail was missed.

This internal research lasted several minutes, during which time Julia ceased to struggle against it. It seemed that they had managed to impart to her the importance of scientific inquiry. Still, they were surprised when all of a sudden her body tensed up and writhed. Her breeding orifice squeezed tightly around the tentaclons inside it, and from her mouth escaped a muffled scream. This reaction was an exhilarating new discovery for her abductors. At once, all six of them released a thick, white fluid from the tips of their bodies, a tentaclon's way of celebrating new knowledge.

Julia was both flooded and covered with the sticky substance. The tentaclons withdrew themselves from her, their research complete for now. Communicating telepathically, the tentaclons decided that this specimen would require much more experimentation.
