here.”
    “And there will be teachers and caretakers?”
    “Of course.”
    She mentally exhaled. The thought of having a dozen infants at the same time had made her rethink this entire thing. To heck with saving a species, that was too many diapers.
    He walked her in and showed her to her quarters. The room was large, spacious and had a crib in the corner.
    “What is that for?” She was a little leery.
    “You are entitled to a natural heir.”
    She blinked. “What?”
    “One child born of your body to a mate of the elder’s choosing.”
    She got nervous. “When do they choose?”
    “You have just been harvested, so you have some time before it becomes an issue.”
    “What a polite term for that.” She snorted and looked around. When she opened her wardrobe, her clothing was neatly arranged on hangars and her spare boots were set in the bottom. “When did this happen?”
    “During your first visit to medical.”
    He took a few steps and opened another panel on the wall. He stepped back and clicked into it.
    “What are you doing, Brex?”
    “I am charging. I can answer your questions, but you have whatever privacy you wish. Now that you are no longer in active danger, you will be gaining more freedom.”
    “You didn’t have to charge before.”
    “I did, I just did it while you were resting and kept my scanning systems on.”
    She watched him power down, but the faint glow of his purple lenses was still there.
    Ty looked around her and found a vid screen, a food dispenser, a bathroom with a tub surprisingly large enough for four and a view of the city. There was a tint to the plexi that hopefully blocked the view from the outside. From the inside, it was like being inside an open space that overlooked everything below.
    The tub called to her. She hadn’t had a serious soak in years that wasn’t medically necessary. She wanted warm water, not body temperature. She actually wanted to explore the new skin she had grown, and since no one was looking, she was going to.
    A few tries got the water flowing, and she pried open her suit, pushing it down to her hips while she sat on the edge of the tub to pry her boots off.
    When she was naked, she eased herself into the water and sighed happily at the feeling she thought was lost forever.
    Her hair was up, and she soaked happily while her body still ached from the medical procedure. Even Brex’s care couldn’t erase the pain, but it had helped.
     

Chapter Five
     
     
    Brex stretched and flexed his fingers, getting used to the feedback of his own limbs not cycled through the processing system.
    Alveck checked him over. “It was only four weeks; you seem fine.”
    “I feel fine.”
    “You are still dividing your consciousness.”
    “She is bathing. I do not wish to leave her unattended.” Brex pulled on his uniform while he was examined from head to toe.
    “Elevated hormone levels, but otherwise, you are fully normal.”
    Brex had been given more views of his charge than he had been prepared for. He was lucky that spontaneous combustion had not ensued.
    “Will she know who you are when she sees you?”
    Brex sealed his blue sleeveless shirt and adjusted the flat collar. “She suspects already. I can see it when she looks at me.”
    “Well, officially, welcome home. Blue appears to be your colour.”
    He laughed at his gene-brother’s tone. “I wasn’t sure of it before I left, but now, I am. She recognized our resemblance, by the way.”
    Alveck paused. “Truly? That shows a little more intelligence than I gave her credit for.”
    “Have you gotten any more information on the Terrans?” Brex slid his weapons into the loops on his belt and fastened his cloak.
    Alveck shrugged. “They appear to be a seeded world. They adapt to their environments in a few generations. It is interesting. There is a chance that they could contribute to the Lrrko population, but it would have to be under strictly monitored circumstances. I will put it to the elders, but
