I look over at Kiveta.

We’re waiting outside the restaurant.

They—or he, he claims that even though he has three bodies, he’s one organism and consciousness—is wearing a long, grey coat. The three bodies are stacked on top of each other, and the third body sticks out of the top. The coat is some kind of robotic exo-skeleton that gives the illusion of mass. Kiveta looks like a big humanoid alien with a very small head.

Absolutely ridiculous.

I didn’t want to work with him after the initial battle, but neither of us could figure out how to track the fertile prize on our own.

I had a stronger six-dimensional sense, while Kiveta could actually travel through the gates.

So here we are, on the same planet as the fertile prize and the Valittu, but unable to find them.

I close my eyes and search. I’m almost certain that they are nearby, but something is interfering with my senses. The Valittu had a very small signature when we were on Earth, and it’s likely that he’s simply very hard to track. He’s stealthy.

Still, I’m sensing something in this restaurant, something similar to the Valittu. I don’t think it’s him, but I feel it could lead me to him.

When we enter the restaurant, a waitress asks us how many.

I tell her “Four,” just to piss off Kiveta, but he glares at me and tells her “two.”

We sit down, and I study the menu.

I want more of those cheese steaks. They are the best tasting thing I’ve ever eaten, and I never expected to find them on some primitive backwater like Earth.

I scoff at the menu. It has plenty of high-calorie meals that will get me ready to fight, but nothing as dense and greasy as the cheese steaks.

Kiveta and I look up in unison as the kitchen door opens. I sense something strong. As the door shuts, I lose the ability to sense it clearly.

I cock my head at Kiveta. “Is that…”

“Valittu?”

“We can’t just barge into the kitchen.”

“I can send one of my bodies,” he says.

I sigh. “Fine.”

I hear a hiss as his exoskeleton coat opens up beneath the table, and then I see the gross little green thing scurry quickly across the carpet. It changes colors to match the environment, and a few people catch sight of it, but it slips into a door before anyone can be sure they really saw anything.

“You missed the kitchen, dipshit.”

“My body is climbing through a vent in the bathroom. I will check the kitchen from the safety of the vent.”

“Climbing through the vent like a rat. You really think you deserve the fertile prize?”

“Four is better than…”

He trails off, and his face twitches in anger as he remembers that he now only has three bodies. Not four.

I watch his face. It goes slack and stares off into the distance. He must be focusing on what he’s seeing in the kitchen.

“What is it?” I ask. “Another Valittu?”

His eyes flicker toward me for a moment, but they soon go slack again. He speaks to me in a slurred voice while his eyes stare blankly forward.
