the second is that several of the physical talents were not above using their power to coerce the opposite or the same sex. Remove access to the genitals and the reproduction ceases as well as the reason for coercion.”
    “Interesting. So the suit is a living thing?”
    “Apparently it is a mix of living being and technology.”
    He nodded. “Similar to the Masuo with a twist.”
    “What is Masuo?”
    “A living plant-like creature that sprouts pods which can be trained into shapes that are used for boots and clothing. They bond to the wearer and change shape to suit the mood of their host. They perform in a similar manner to your suit if you choose to have them as a complete wrap.”
    “Interesting.” She smiled at the way his mind was working. He was going to get her out of this suit if it killed him.
    She sighed and watched the constellations shift as they moved through another strange system. “Why did you come for me?”
    “It was my turn. I was scheduled on recruitment duty and so when they told me about you, I got into my ship and here I am.”
    Col swivelled her chair and stared at him. “I mean why you? You know what I mean, don’t you?”
    He paused with his hands over the controls. “You feel it too?”
    “The strange hum every time you touch me? Yes. If we weren’t alone, I wouldn’t say this, but you gave me the confirmation that I was attracted to men. I wasn’t sure up until you.”
    His shock was enough to make her laugh. It was a deep cackle that she couldn’t stop. “You should see your face. I am sorry. I am a little overwhelmed with new things today and I thought it would be fun to give you the absolute truth.”
    Ysyr turned to her and took her hands in his. “I don’t know what Turnari’s plan is for you once your training is completed, but you will never be far from me. Kalorda keep their mates close at all times, whether they have consummated the connection or not. Now that I know you exist, you are not going to leave me for long.”
    She tilted her head. “I don’t understand.”
    He grinned and pressed a kiss to each of her hands. “Kalorda are notorious hunters. Once we are on the scent, our prey never escapes.”
    In that instant, she met his gaze and there was a whisper across her thoughts. “You are taking an imprint of my mind.”
    “Very good, Colah. If you are ever lost, I will find you. It is one of my many talents.” He pressed two more kisses to her hands and she felt the flick of his tongue.
    “Tasting as well?”
    “That was just for my own entertainment. Prepare for jump, we are on our way to Morganti.”
    She folded her hands in her lap and turned to watch the process of jumping from one star system to the next.
    The principal seemed to be that at some points, the star systems lined up like a sort of three-dimensional board game. The computer calculated the connecting points and the speed of thought was needed to activate them at the precise moment for the transfer to take place.
    She watched the data stream across the screen and when they were again in two places at the same time, she watched the after image of one system fade and the Morganti system take its place.
    With a slingshot manoeuvre, he whipped them around a small moon and then he hit the thrusters. For better or worse Col was about to get a new home.

Chapter Seven
    “The tower on the right is the Citadel outpost, the base on the right is the Sector Guard Base. We will be landing at the Guard base and their physicians will give you an exam to determine your species’ specifics.” Ysyr was all business.
    “Will it hurt?” She bit the inside of her cheek.
    “No. They are just going to take baselines of your resting levels. That way, if you are ever injured in the line of duty, you can be healed at any Alliance facility.” He smiled and a light dawned in his eyes. “I think we will be taking a trip to Teklan base in the near future.”
    “We?”
    “Yes, we. You don’t know how to pilot a
