"Either one, actually, anything that slows down people putting folks in the queue. What's special about your geneticists?"

"Elves have magic for it. I mean, strictly speaking the magic's purpose is 'make children be healthy' but can be used for purposes it wasn't intended for--elves have an extra reproductive organ in our left hands," she holds up her bloody gloved hand, "that has tendrils for DNA collection and a sort of chamber where the DNA can be recombined in different ways--there are varying levels and types of skill with that--and then in theory the combined DNA is deposited in a mother, usually but not always one of the genetic parents, where it develops into an egg which hatches into a baby. But you can also put it somewhere else and do science to it." 

"So you can do hybrids? Probably some people'd pay up for that."

"I'm a hybrid. Kaleith," point, "is a full Elf, and Luvei," point, "is a full frost giant, and Amalta and I are half-and-half. Elves are considered the best way to do hybrids--most species can hybridize without Elf help, but it's safest to do it with, and if hybridization isn't usually possible we can do it anyway." 

"Elves and frost giants aren't a particularly risky combination but you couldn't do a part-elf without an elf being involved anyway. But non-elf-involved hybrids can have problems like a kid with a halfling-sized heart in a frost-giant-sized body, or some kind of unfortunate interaction of species magics, or, or, or." 

"Huh. Well... okay, I could be missing something 'cause I'm emergency services on an uruk planet, but if I were you I'd go talk to Dwarves about getting a loan to get your geneticist parent back so they can make money and pay the loan back."

"That makes sense. --Why Dwarves?"

"They're good at financing stuff. There's uruk companies for it too - and other ones, on other planets - but mostly you go to those if you have a specialist use case and you don't. Or, you do but not one that anyone's specializing in yet and Dwarves'll be into figuring it out anyway."

"Okay. And there's us, for proof of concept, but Mama could do much fancier than we can." 

"Do you have ways for same-sex couples to have kids? 'Cause I can't think of any that don't involve Elves off the top of my head, so..."

"I think it's doable but I'm straight so I don't know how they do it. But there's tons of species and I think that's less doable."

"Yeah, that comes up more often back home, too. Except for the Elves themselves." 

"Elves are all women." 

"Huh. Uh, before I take you anywhere we could replicate you some more clothes."

"That would be for the best." 

The clothes section is pretty dizzying but he can narrow it down by everybody's measurements and favorite color and desired modesty level.

The Elves' desired modesty level involves gloves! This is probably not a modesty concern that people normally have. 

It is not but there are gloves in here. Presently everyone has something to change into. There are curtains that draw around the beds.

Presently everyone is changed! And covered in so much less blood! Not being covered in that much blood is excellent. 

"Okay, uh, finance place?"

"Finance place sounds good."

Glir looks up a Dwarf finance place on his device and pops them into its reception area. A short hairy person with a lot of beard says, "Hello, welcome to Asger's."

"Hey, uh, these people appeared on Bhadur from an uncontacted world. They want a loan to resurrect a parent they expect to be able to make a lot of money."

"Our species--well, Kaleith's species, my sister and I are hybrids, but we have the full load of the relevant species magic, so--where we're from every species has their own magic and ours is to be able to make healthy children out of genetic samples from nearly any combination of sources. Hybrids are usually possible between local species but they're only guaranteed safe and also not sterile like a liger if you get an Elf to do it. My relevant parent is an incredibly skilled geneticist, which means aside from various scientific applications she can get a lot more specific than just 'healthy' and 'uses these sources.'"

"How prevalent is this skill?"

"Lots of people can do better than random; I've never met anyone as skilled as my mother."
