Colin stood up and asked in a calm friendly manner as Magnum picked up his phone and went outside to talk to someone " How many bites have you had?" I smiled and waved my hand. I said "Mirella will help me chop them up and take the important molecules from there to the molecular store. She says we can make some great dental stuff." Colin said " Did you know that every snake in that dish was poisonous, most of them very poisonous? Even to the supernaturals. You're probably full of snake venom bits, it must be that weird smell you've got. But, I'm going to go through you and take a big pile of tests. Let's see what the tests say." Colin directed me back to the medbay and motioned me to sit on the bed.

He went off to collect various instruments and turn on the equipment. Magnum came into the medbay and said "Damon is not impressed that you collect snake venom and chop it up however you like, I hear. Adam, Damon and Bran, and Samuel, they're off to come here now. You can discuss things with them too." I sighed and said " Go to the edge of the woods where there's that one spruce tree. That's where the previous snakes are. " Colin came over to me and said, "Sit down, we'll be right there." I thought I'd be completely honest with everyone. The fact was there were snakes here and lots of them. I always killed them. I got quite a few bites as a reward but let's see if they did any harm. I was just annoyed because my left arm was slightly swollen and it hurt all the time. I had encountered that snake before and I knew it would take a while for the reaction to take hold before it gave way. It would just be annoying.

The men would hang out in the woods for a while and then come back. Magnum went to sit on one of the chairs while Colin went to get the blood tubes. First, he stripped me naked and photographed all my little injuries. Then he put me in a quick scanner and then naked again on the bed. He felt me through, listened, tapped, twisted, and turned. He took my temperature and my sugar. Then he started taking dozens of tubes of blood, 80 of them. I never knew I had so much blood taken from me.

He let me get dressed and sighed. he said " Let's get to eat first and then we'll see what the blood tests say. But, my lady, the operation is waiting. You've got the amplification enzyme back on somewhere, you can see it in your scan. If you can make anything out of that. We'll see how light you are after the operation. " Oh, fuck. Fucking an amplification enzyme. And here I thought I'd got myself in tip-top shape and I was just growing more organs. I wonder if some snake venom is to blame. I don't know, I went to the kitchen.

We went out to eat. Colin said " One thing that's pretty important, you're medbay lacking. Medicines." I sighed and said "I know but I don't have access to most of my own medicine, it's up to either Samuel or Damon to bring it here. That's up to them then because I would have wanted to do this from the beginning, but I guess it'll work out in the end." Colin nodded and ate eagerly. Despite being human, Magnum was also taking large portions at a good pace. I let out Mimosa and she went to devour the meat.

Colin watched for a moment and said "Mimosa, my lady. You have a date with me in the medbay on top of your meal. I'll run you through and then we'll know where we're going." Mimosa sighed dramatically and continued her plowing. Magnum said, " Have you found that tunnel or those secret passages yet?" I shook my head. I hadn't even focused on the whole thing yet, as it wasn't something I had wanted to do so badly at that moment. If Colin wants to examine Mimosa fine by me. I still had several more trees to cut down outside, so I could get back to chainsaw work. Magnum asked "What are you going to do now? I know Colin doesn't have any medicine with him and we'll have to wait for the pack to do that, so you'll have some time to work on this before they knock you out again."

I smiled and said "Actually, I'm going to cut down a few trees and maybe chop them up. They haven't decided yet. I mean, whether or not I'm going to chop them." Magnum looked at me for a long time and said " Let me have a go too. It's been a while since I last sawed, and your saw seems pretty damn strong. " I sighed and then we went out for a bite to eat. I said to Magnum. "Look at those six trees. Those tall conifers, they're littered, there's no life in them, there's a disease. I've looked through them with the drone. " Magnum furrowed his brows. The trees Mimi was talking about were over 10 meters tall. Probably closer to 15 m was the tallest.

The trees were diseased and there were pretty good places to cut them down. But still, the thought of Mimi cutting down a giant tree like that. Huh huh? Magnum picked up the saw. A professional piece of equipment. You could tell by the weight that this thing has power and lots of it. He turned on the saw and went to cut down the biggest tree he could find. It took quite a bit of strength to hold the powerful saw in place and get the tree to fall exactly where it needed to. Magnum suspected that because she had felled more than 30 trees, some of the felling had not all gone as it should have and that was why the lady's replication enzyme had kicked in.

Magnum felled all six trees. Then he chopped them up. I got a wheelbarrow and carried the logs to the wheelbarrow and took them to the clapper and started making claps. I already had a big pile of them and even bigger piles of logs. My concentration was a bit like a butterfly at times. I couldn't concentrate on one thing for very long and I'd switch from one thing to another. That's why the whole ranch was a collection of things that were unfinished.

I'd gotten a branch shredder and shredded twigs and twigs for cover whenever I wanted to. They made pretty good cover and material for the chickens, they liked to peck and scratch and there was always something to eat, Colin came to see what I was up to and I stuffed the thick branches into the shredder. They went in very well. Magnum was with the clapper.

Well, I'm back at it again. I took the sack I'd finished and went and poured it out for the chickens again. I had some more unusual chickens. I was looking forward to the eggs. The hens always ran away when I came to the pen, I guess they just weren't used to me. Colin watched me with interest and eventually, we went inside and Colin said. " Did you know that we were watching your DNA, your genes? And they are changing, slowly and I don't know where yet, but Damon is going in the same direction. After all, you're each other's biological halves. Now Mimi. You are a werewolf, about 70% then you are a vampire about 15% and then the rest of you are feline, shifters to be exact. 15%. Damon has the same except he is a vampire 70% and werewolf 15% and feline 15%. And the most amazing thing is. Same with Mimosa. She is 10% cat. I don't know yet what kind of cat and how it manifests itself, but if you are already about 15% vampire, then what is the cat in you? I don't know that yet. Except that your horses and chickens know. They sense your feline side and that's why they are in a frenzy. "

So now I'm some kind of tribid. Werewolf-vampire-cat-animal shifter. I'm some kind of fucking new creature. I'm gonna take cat form one of these days. And which one? It would be ironic if I became just a house cat. Fine, that's fine. I let the men turn on the TV and went off to enjoy my jewelry. I had bought a large collection of unprocessed gemstones, so they hadn't been cut or graded, not all the stones had been identified. It was kind of a dump, when you were looking for a mineral then everything else was kind of thrown in the trash and given away somewhere.

For example, the stones could be partially melted down and cast into tables, or someone if they bothered to go through the crumbs might even find a gemstone. I had the stone working tools and had put another set of stones in the grinder and rinser a couple of weeks ago. Now I thought I'd go take the stones out and start looking at what I had got. Another profession I wanted to learn was gemmologist. And a jeweler. I knew that gold or even platinum could be worked in a certain way, so it wouldn't bother us supernaturals.

I calmly walked into the jewelry room and opened the drum. Oh wow. There were some really beautiful stones and these were big pieces. I dumped the pieces of stone on one of the tables and took the lamp closer and began to examine them. I didn't even think about the time passing. The flight from America to Australia takes about 19 hours and then another 4 hours of driving. It was now 23 in the evening and the men had arrived at 7 am. Or at least that's what I assumed, that they had driving time and so on.

I sat down on a chair and took one of the stones in my hand and turned and examined it. There was some violet, blue, and white on it. It was a beautiful stone. The next stone was a white-black speckled one. I knew there must be a name for this stone but I couldn't remember it right away. Then there was a wickedly beautiful rose quartz that was still quite intact .it was almost like a heart. I would save that one.

There were dozens of stones and I studied and turned them for a long time just for fun. I hadn't even noticed when Magnum and Colin had also come to see my stone. I had three other drums full of stones. This stone room was in the basement and this one had space and pretty good soundproofing. Colin said "Did you know you have quite a lot of rubies and sapphires in here? In this drum and I think these are opals. " I looked up and said "What, oh, I haven't got that far yet. I'm just admiring these."

Magnum came in carrying a pretty good-sized container where I had put all the gems I had taken out of my safe deposit boxes. Magnum said " These probably belong in a bank vault somewhere. After all, these are mostly diamonds and other extremely valuable stones." I sighed and said " I took them out of my safe deposit box. A gig fee. I was thinking of studying jewelry making at some point and then I could make my own jewelry out of them. "

Magnum was silent and said, " What else have you found in your safe deposit box?" I looked at him innocently and said " Guns, medical samples, that's what I've given to Colin and Samuel, those stones, some shares, money. I haven't even gone through many lockers. I just went through the three bank boxes when I arrived here. I didn't even remember that I had already collected stuff in so many banks in Australia." Magnum was very calm and said, "What kind of guns?"

Fine, let's see then. I got up and we went down the corridor. I had a private armory with explosives in it. I opened the door with a combination of my fingerprints, blood, and retinas and let the boys have a look. There were probably 60 guns, 30 rifles, 10 of which were really good sniper rifles. Then there were maybe 45 doses of various explosives, chemical most of them. the experimental guns were on the other wall there were 22 of them. Then there were 8 tranquilizer pistols and 3 tranquilizer rifles. There were darts in them but nothing that would have gotten me.

Magnum went through the whole room carefully and said " Yes, there is an amazingly large collection of weapons. I wonder what Adam or Damon will think of this. Do you have, how many houses have storage units like this?" I shook my head. And I said "Not yet, but my cars are fully loaded. Fine let's go out and I'll show you my storage system. " We went outside and I showed the men my car was fully loaded and Colin was checking the first aid kit for medicines.

Then he said " Now, these will do for you. You'd better come inside and I'll get you into surgery. This is a pretty damn efficient pharmacy. " Oh, I didn't realize there were so many medicines, I thought to myself. Fine, the fleas will fill that back up. I thought it was actually quite good so I can actually have surgery and not grow more organs all the time.

We went to medbay and I stripped off my clothes. Colin cannulated me up and started looking for all the supplies already. Many many bags came into the drip tray as he looked at my results on the machine. Apparently, growing organs takes resources. Now what's amazing about me is I can't exploit my own organs, well Damon once got the idea to make my extra organs into intestinal puree for me, but it came straight through. The mimosa can eat all my organs though and that's what makes them last. Not me. See I don't do anything easily.

Eventually, he started pulling the meds into a syringe and putting some into drip bags. I heard voices and Damon and Samuel walked in. They had tube bags with them. Colin said "Oh you came too. Mimi had some drugs in the car so I thought I'd go and do some surgery. But you can look through those scans and the results. Here's the cocktail I thought I'd use." Damon looked through the jars of medicine and put his bag on the ground, squatted down, and dug out three more jars. He said " That works, the lady's used to those drugs by now so she probably wouldn't have slept more than 4 hours, but with this, at least 14 hours. I go through Mimi again, then Samuel went to get the operating theatre ready. I can look through those results. "Oh, the Lord is in full doctor mode.

Damon was examining something on the computer and he was talking to Colin quietly again somehow I couldn't hear, I don't know how he does it but he does it anyway and it's annoying. My arm was aching and the swelling had increased. As I knew. It takes its time and being left-handed and now my operating hand got hit, pissed me off. Damon came up to me and said " Fine, let's see that hand first because it's bothering you. " He took out my hand and Colin glared at me sharply as I hadn't shown him when the swelling had increased. Damon felt my hand and I tried not to flinch, but I couldn't help it as I hissed in pain every now and then. He felt my hand up to my armpit and finally just grunted. Then he took a cocktail and put it in my cannula and pressed the plunger without saying a word. When I fell asleep, I knew he was furious, but it still smelled like passion fruit.
