COUNCIL INITIATED PARTICIPATING*-oo ::

-well, that's one more than last time proceed-

*our 200 kirlian agent now available for retransfer provided low-kirlian replacement exchanged*

oo low Kirlian transfer? subject would rapidly be lost! explain rationale oo

*200 kirlian agent is our best familiar with this mission low-kirlian would be expendable after exchange low-kirlian would lose identity but remain suitable for specialized mission*

:: now I'm confused! how can... ::

*specialized mission is foster-care of offspring engendered by enemy agent on ours*

oo our best agent mated with enemy agent? she was assigned to eliminate him! oo

-it is a long story, oo, as you would have been aware had you attended prior council-oo I was preoccupied with spherical matters oo

-this is a galactic matter, of overriding import-

It was strange being in a human host, with its angular perambulation and acute binocular vision and inadequate taste. Flint caught himself trying to roll, and tripping over his own feet. He had been Polarian a long time, and run his Kirlian aura low; it would have been easy to phase all the way into that sublime identity. He now regarded Sphere Polaris culture as generally superior to that of Sphere Sol... but that episode was over.

Return from transfer had been horrendous. He had suffered disorientation, pain, and convulsions.

Apparently his human body had contracted some malady during his absence. That could have accounted for some of his orientation problems at Polaris; it was reasonable to assume that the connection between aura and body never broke entirely. The prolonged vacancy had weakened the physical vessel. But modern biotics and therapy would have the matter rectified in a few days, and then he could begin his long recuperation.

So they had had to bounce him out again in transfer while they gave his body special medical attention. He had insisted on a particular location although they had protested that there was no suitable host-body there. He had let them know that there might be no Kirlian transferee for future missions if they didn't find a host in a hurry.

Now, at last, he had returned home-in a fashion. For this was the system of Draco, the Dragon.

Etamin, his home. How changed it seemed, after an Earth-year. The vines seemed larger, the terrain rougher. But of course the vines were larger than most
