Fic idea: Nature of the Exterminators

Saw how easy it is to make Exterminators into antagonists, and thought it'd be funny to have a reasonable one

In this fic, a Venlil Exterminator is actually extremely reasonable and takes their job seriously. They didn't trust humans at first, and still don't entirely, but concede that, obviously, they're nothing like the Arxur

They belong to an exterminator office that's also pretty reasonable and act like the civil servants they're supposed to instead of fanatical power mad thugs, mostly due to the offices location in a liberal city that sees very few predator incidents

They and their office are appalled by all the negative stories and beh a vior exhibited by the Venlil Republics Exterminators and resolve to reform, seeing that the Exterminators are rapidly losing public favor and trust and feeling that they need to differentiate themselves/set an example for the rest of the Exterminators across the Federation in this new era

One day, the Venlil sees a human out alone, and decides to get their opinion and perspective, and so suspiciously starts following after them, trying to keep up with the human as they keep getting faster and faster

Which leads into the human protag, which consists of a reasonable, responible cop from Earth, who points out all the flaws and corruption within the Exterminators

I was thinking to have a reverse of the usual story, with the bureaucrats and population being the antagonists while the Exterminatoes try to keep order, retain the trust of the community/gain the trust of the humans, and reform through the tumultuous mess of NoP
