Kip walked into the visitor ‘gallery’ outside the containment shield where Brad and a couple of mages were sitting. Vortison was nowhere to be seen, nor were his typical replacements. Brad knew he had to take breaks, just as the Archons, but he usually left someone else here to actively monitor the data feeds coming in from the biomonitor still attached to Radonon’s head, though it’d slipped off numerous times during the physical transition that was now complete.

The Chixzon was sitting on a stool on the opposite side of the energy shield with its tail wrapped around the vertical pylon, the tip of which was twitching rhythmically against the solid floor and making a dull ‘thud’ every time it hit. It was colored black, but transitioned into splotches of dark green halfway up. Its legs were likewise colored, with its solid torso being blank. Apparently the splotches were badges of merit and would augment the standard ones that were emblematic of their civilization’s achievements once Radonon earned them.

His arms still had hands and five fingers, but coming off the elbow there were spine-like limbs tucked into niches on his forearms that he could pull clear and use whenever he wanted. He had more on his upper arms that ended in telescoping talons while the lower ones were blunted and much thicker, intended to be used for movement rather than attacks. The talons doubled as poison injectors in addition to the ones in the palms, though they each had different types of poison, not all of which were lethal, that could be customized as needed depending on the target race and whether you wanted to debilitate or even just stun your opponent, giving the Chixzon an easy way of taking prisoners when they so wanted.

Radonon’s head no longer looked Protovic, for it had elongated out into a skull twice the size that accommodated the additional brain tissue by stretching out into a cone tapered backwards, leaving the facial structure more or less the same. His nose was covered with a nubby spine that was only a little more dense than the rest of his light armor-caliber skin, and like other segments of his body it was black with dark green splotches. Gone was the Protovic exoskeleton and bioluminescence, replaced by a ghastly and intimidating visage of a being that was almost entirely black save for the green patches, but the most prominent feature was the two limbs coming off his back.

Situated like wings, the two bendable limbs arched up behind his head like ornamental brackets and could bend forward into much larger versions of the talons on his arms. They had enough reach that he could shoot them forward in a stabbing motion or twist them around to do the same in just about any direction, giving the Chixzon a bit of StarCraft’s Kerrigan in his body shape. They did not have poison, but rather armor piercing capabilities in the form of an energy coating that worked like a dull lightsaber blade.
