Cerebral Maneuvers

Waking up caged in a zoo Chella has no idea how she got there. At first it doesn't seem real. Especially when the beautiful golden dragon in the cage opposite her begins a conversation. She is hauled to appear before three aliens along with her crew. When they are transported to rooms, the aliens inform her that she and her crew have to prove that they can procreate, against which they rebel. So that they will cooperate, the aliens allow them the freedom to explore the tunnels.
Finding the zoo, Chella talks to Xando, the dragon. But the aliens discover he's a shapeshifter and force him to reveal himself, and the man he shifts into is to die for.
