“That is quite a story,” Tormatang said and floated towards Savannah. The voice was electronic, deep and female. “And this body you currently reside in, you wish to keep it?”
“Yes, master, I do.” Savannah nodded.
Nigel’s eyes were wide and held on Tormatang. He had once been a firm believer that races on Earth, other than Caucasian, all looked alike. Seeing Tormatang, however, took this to another level.
Tormatang, the being that floated at the front of the room was a translucent blob. Generally the skin remained white but, depending upon thoughts, it would change colour. “Why would you want something so fragile and constricting?” Tormatang’s outer skin turned a light blue, the usual colour of Emmi curiosity.
“This body is what I have become, sire. It is what I have evolved into.”
“See!” Graven yelled and stood from his chair. “She has become one of them. This is why she can’t be trusted!”
It took Nigel all his might not to stand up and deck Graven. Being their last encounter had left Nigel on his back and bloodied, logic assisted his self-control to keep him seated.
“And sir, she can flash without a jumper. She has become a very dangerous abomination!”
Savannah silenced Graven with a glare.
“Graven, sit down before I have you removed.” Tormatang’s skin turned brown with these words.
Turning back, Savannah spoke with a calm sultry voice. “Master, there is more.”
Tormatang turned bright red. “Tell me, child. Tell me all.”
