"So...what exactly can you do?" Jake asked, looking at Carman. It was the next morning, we were sitting around what used to be the campfire. I was sitting on the ground, Rachel was next to me, Tobias was in hawk form standing on the ground next to her, Carman was on the other side of me, Marco was sitting diagnally next to her, Jake was pacing, Ax was standing across from us, and Toby was standing a few feet away from him.
"A lot more than what they told you, probably." Carman said, Jake stopped pacing and crossed his arms, watching Carman.
"They said you can morph, were faster, and stronger than us." Rachel said. "But there's more, isn't there?"
"I'm supposed to be immune to almost everything, and I'm pretty indestructible. But those, the speed, and the strength are only in my natural human form. Otherwise, I've only got whatever my morph has." Carman explained. "The virus was to see if I was completely indestructible, like I should be. But there's no telling unless I get seriously injured, but not in morph."
"And they're willing to make it happen." Jake said, nodding.
"But that's horrible." I said. "We can't just let them do this. It's wrong."
"It is." Jake agreed. "So we're going to hide you. Ax, any suggestions?"
(If she is far enough in one of the caves, their sensors might not be able to penetrate it.) Ax said, Jake nodded.
(But what if they do sense her?) Tobias asked. (They'll know we were trying to hide her)
(Or they might think she was hiding right under our noses) Ax said.
"Either way, we'll have to defend her." Marco said.
"My people are more than happy to help." Toby said.
"Thank you Toby." Carman said, smiling. "I haven't known any of you for more than a day, and you're already defending me."
"You deserve it." I said, she smiled.
"If the Andilites do attack because of this, what are we going to do?" Marco asked.
"Try to resolve it peacefully." Jake said. "But if they refuse...Ax I don't want to pit you against your own people."
(I will do what I must) Ax said quietly.
"It'll be fairly easy, it's a science vessel, not very many weapons. And less males, females aren't as capable in battle." Rachel said.
(Except Estrid, she could fight) Tobias said.
"Estrid." Carman said, flashing a glance at Tobias. "Will be on our side, if she's even on the ship."
"Ax, will they be scanning the Hork-Bajir?" Marco asked.
(I don't think they would.) Ax answered. (Why?)
(I see where you're going, if they don't scan them, then they won't notice two of the same Hork-Bajir. One is the real one, the other is Carman.) Tobias said.
"There are many Hork-Bajir who would be willing to let you aquire them." Toby said, Carman nodded.
"We don't have time for that." Rachel said, pointing to the sky. There was a silver dot, and it was getting bigger. Carman stood up, standing in front of Toby.
"May I?" Carman asked, Toby nodded, Carman touched Toby's arm. Toby went into a dazed state, Carman moved her hand and began to morph.
"Get out of sight, two seers in one place is unusual." Jake said, Carman finished morphing quickly and ran off. Marco got a manaical grin on his face.
"Houston, we have visitors."
