Alien worker

10,000 years ago these Gentle Alien Species was overrun by a reptilian cyclops race, Unlike most Species it does not reproduce Like most life out there. The Larva crawl out of a primordial bog from there home planet. Once on shore the lava buries itself in the ground for 50 years emerging to what you see right now.

The reptilian race seized the opportunity and collected every drop of said bog and placed it in a giant vat back at their home planet. With the technology the they implanted a computer chip in every lava that crawls out of the new bog. Making the Larva and Adult obedient to their new masters.

9,000 years have passed a worker as carrying supplies off a freighter when an odd warm blooded animal grabbed it and threw it at the imperial guard that was chasing him. The warm blooded being grabbed a damaged fighter and flew out of the station.

The guard ordered the worker to chase him down using one of the more primitive shuttle crafts . While chasing the warm blooded creature the computer chip shorted out.

Suddenly the worker felt true freedom. It landed on a square planet where it wondered what to do now. One word "Survive."
