Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z.
A/N: This story is an AU fic. It's going to include a lot about Bra's relationship with Vegeta, as well as lots of B/V goodness :)
This first 'chapter' is really just setting the scene for the story. What is written below is supposed to represent documents and transmissions (unfortunately I can't get the formatting as fancy as I'd like on this website). I've chosen to use the Dragonball timeline on the Pojo website for dates; the 'documents' in this first chapter relate to the year 756 (the year Goku marries Chi Chi). I've chosen to format dates as ddd/year (for example, 114/756 = the 114th day of the year 756). You can assume that all the events in Dragonball occurred, and that Goku and Chi Chi married. It is after this point that the story diverges into an AU.
This prologue is really meant to just grab your interest, and like I said, set the scene for what is to come. Once I get into actually writing the story, the questions raised by this prologue should begin to be answered. Also, some sentences in these 'reports' below might sound a bit funny but that's intended; they're meant to have that aloof, scientific feel about them.

Subject treated in tank for broken arm, heavy bruising, lacerations to back. All injuries successfully healed.
117/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment to stimulate ovaries (see report #233, also test subject #5464 and saiyan #4 re apparent inter-species breeding between humans and saiyans)
Subject placed in secure holdings in order to prevent sexual activities occurring between subject and soldiers. No evidence of sexual violation present although bite marks are apparent on subject's shoulder and neck. Subject treated in tank for injuries.

119/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
120/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
121/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
122/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
123/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
124/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
125/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
126/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
127/756: Subject injected with hormonal treatment.
128/756: 26 ova harvested from subject. 10 selected for trial. Remaining 16 set aside for experimentation.
129/756: Selected (10) ova of subject fertilized with selected (10) sperm cells of saiyan #1.
131/756: Successful fertilizationof 8 ova. Embryos graded, best 2 (1 male, 1 female) selected for implantation. Remaining embryos frozen for future use.
2 selected embryos transferred to test subject.
144/756: Subject tested positive for pregnancy. Unable to detect whether both embryos successfully implanted.
156/756: Subject suffering from apparent side-effects of pregnancy, including tender breasts and frequent vomiting. Subject has informed that this is common amongst pregnant human females. See test subject #5464, who also experienced similar symptoms during first trimester.
193/756: Ultrasound shows single, strong heartbeat within the subject's womb. Sex of fetus unknown.
249/756: Fetal develop appears normal. Ultrasound imaging shows fetus has inherited the saiyan tail. It is noted that all saiyan/human fetuses analysed so far appear to have inherited this trait.
Subject displaying physical signs of pregnancy including enlarged breasts and growing waist measurement. Subject appears healthy.
277/756: Subject well into second trimester. Appears healthy, although mentally withdrawn.
Ultrasound determined the fetus to be female.
New historical research has lead to understanding that female saiyans are naturally weaker than their male counterparts. Consultation with Lord Frieza via transmission resulted in decision to abort fetus. Subject will be impregnated with remaining male embryos.

POSTSCRIPT 278/756:
Dr. Mul found dead in laboratory. Test subject missing from base. Appears that test subject stabbed deceased with scapel, administered lethal dose of anesthetic to deceased. No evidence that scheduled abortion of female saiyan/human fetus took place.
NOTE although human species uncharacteristically weak, maternal instincts of pregnant human females appear strong, may be dangerous. All remaining pregnant human females now under stricter surveillance. It is advised that guards remain present during all medical examinations and procedures.
Report to be submitted to Lord Frieza.
