Animorphs: Ressurection

[Gumby]

((Wireless!))


Fisher had never had his mind read by a Leeran before and he didn’t like it, not one bit. He jerked back, visibly irritated and gave an annoyed glance to the froggy looking creature.

“Don’t ever do that again.” Then noticing the odd looks he was getting from others, he defended himself. “Hey,  if it hasn’t happened yet then the odds get better and better don’t they? We’re trained to operate in combat, not turn into animals and suppress emotions and all of that crap, that’s what the special forces do.” He then went silent as he listened to Tiberi address him. Boy, his team would never believe this.

Tiberi gave the aliens some ID, blood samples included, and proceeded to explain how they would be transported to the planet, they’d leave in an hour. He finished it all off with that creepy eye-smile and a
statement to Shaun.

The Andalite exhibition fighter, Reli, mentioned his TR would be taken. Tiberi corrected her, he and his unit would be an armed detail, security fellows. Fisher cracked a small smile, that would be good.

Chris shrugged when Tiberi didn't really answer his question. I'm going to be an apprentice. That's...ok, I guess. He didn't really care since he was getting a chance to do what he had dreamed of! He was getting a chance to do something like the animorphs had done.

Arhareli took the vial of re-coded blood and removed the stopper, slipping one slender finger into the fluid and acquiring the DNA it contained.  She resealed the vial and examined the ID that had been given to her.

Reli glanced around at the humans' clothing, then looked at Tiberi.
<Do you have extra female human clothing available for my use? I suspect I would be noticeable without it.  Also, do you have anything that the other humans can wear into morphs?>

It was very pleasing to hear that the Corporal and his fellow soldiers would likely be covering the required security detail. That made everything better, and more secure, at least for their party. It was impressive how thoroughly everything had been planned out. Marty liked the tidiness and completeness of it all. He couldn't help but smile at the clothing comment. "Yes. That would be much appreciated."

[BaronConall]

I smile at the inquiry and exit momentarily through the door on the right. When I return, I'm holding 9 pieces of cloth.

"These pieces of cloth represent the cutting edge in deep space exploration apparel." I say, "Each of these items is made with 'intelligent fabrics', being heavily laced with task-regulated nanites. Once wrapped around the body, the fabric recognises the form, mass and size of the wearer, expanding and contracting accordingly, completely covering the feet, all the way to the neck, increasing grip and friction on the hands and feet. These suits are also capable of accommodating to non-human form also, leaving hooves exposed for eating, blades exposed for working and gills exposed for breathing."

I hold up one of the pieces of cloth, "These are designed for use under most spacesuits, retaining body heat in extreme cold and effective up to -20 degrees Celsius. They are also flame retardant and composed a kevlar-like material, designed to protect against stray projectiles. Unfortunately, they offer no protection against energy weapons. These have been tested and will remain with the wearer after morphing and can be summoned to cover the appropriate morph. Unfortunately, the only choice in colour is black."

[Cobra (Gymn)]

"Wow. That's cool. Do we each get one?" Chris asked.

[BaronConall]

I start handing the suits around, "You'll all certainly need them."

[RAFrukh]

One of the people started handing out suits.

I stood back trying to hide my stunted horn inconspicuously.

Tiberi then looks toward Kage, as if becoming aware of his silence for the first time. "I feel that I must draw attention to our late arrival. Shy as he may seem, Kage here is a Seer from the Hork-Bajir homeworld, and a particularly driven Seer at that." Tiberi then addresses Kage directly, "I'm sure you know that this gift of morphing extends to you also, Kage. Is that not right, Reli?"

Finally, I take this chance to address Chris. "Your father was exiled to earth just over 35 years ago. He was once a decorated War Prince and an old one at that. Old enough to have been present in the Yeerk-Andalite war. It seems he wanted to atone for his past and start anew, fading into the background. From what we understand, he used the Frolis Maneuver using the DNA of several human infants in an effort to be 'reborn' as a human nothlit. As such, he has grown as a human for the past 35 years, living the life of a human, taking a wife as a human, raising a family and, for all intents an purposes, becoming human."

[RAFrukh]

I responded to Tiberi, the first person to really directly address me since my arrival, "The gift of morphing? You want me to touch...the cube?" I asked, stunned. The Andalite government was very strict about the usage of the Escafil device. I'd barely ever seen one, much less approached it or touched it.

Mesa stared frostily at Fisher.  You might as well ask the tide not to come in.  I am psychic, sir, but I will not address you again if it suit you.  She turned her back.  Humans, she thought furiously.  Insensitive...do they not understand that on Leera every has their minds read every day?  Privacy is such a foreign concept, and I don't understand it one bit.

However, her attention was taken by the vials of blood.  Intriguing.  She said, stepping forward.  She examined the official document attached.

Name: Melissa Terian
Species: Human
Race: Caucasian
D.O.B: Earth 02-15-2056
Eyes: Dark green 006600
Hair: Blond/brown CCCC00/663300
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 143 lbs.

Mesa accepted one of the suits.  Impressive technology. She said.  Are we leaving immediately?  We must be on a schedule.

[A ghost you know]

Jim also accepted one of the suits and examined it. Black. Perfect for blending into shadows. I just hope we have plenty of those to hide in.
When Tiberi mentioned the suits wouldn't give any protection from energy weapons, Jim frowned slightly. That means we're on our own for Dracons. "Will these suits offer any protection from blades?" he asked. "Hork-Bajir blades, for example, or even knives."

[Estelore]

Arhareli tucked her identification into her utility belt next to her Shredder, and then she took one of the morphing suits.  She started her human morph, and immediately the suit sprang to life in her hand. 

The black material looked like a hole in the fabric of space, absorbing light as it grew and spread over Arhareli's hands and arms.  In a matter of seconds, it was completely covering her entire body except hooves, tail blade, and everything above her neck.  She stopped morphing and examined the material where it covered her wrist.

<It appears that it responds to morphing energy as the activation stimulus; is that correct? This reminds me very much of the veleek.  Would I be wrong in guessing that it also uses morphing technology as its nanites' power source? I am detecting a very thin localized exo-magnetic force field from them, presumably what would deflect stray projectiles but not beams. I would guess that unless a blade is a highly magnetic metal, it would not be deflected by this material, either....>
Arhareli caught herself musing and glanced up at the rest of the group.

<A similar material is used for practice tail-fights.  Early in a fighter's training, his tail blade is coated in a highly magnetized gel, and he wears an exo-magnetic helmet and wrist-guards.  In that way, misplaced lethal strikes are deflected from vulnerable areas, but the student can still learn how to achieve lethality at no real danger to the instructor. On the homeworld, it is still a very simplistic and specialized technology, and I would never have thought to apply it to a full-body morphing suit; really it is a very inventive adaptation of the technology.> 

Arhareli didn't even try to suppress the grin in her "voice".  This reinterpretation of familiar concepts had her excited, even eager to proceed with the mission.

Finally she addressed the Hork-Bajir seer,
<Yes, Kage; it is intended that you also use the morphing technology. Once you are done with it, I will assume my new human morph, and we will see where we go from there.>

[gorillaman16]

"Yeah when exactly are we leaving and when do we acquire morphs." I already have a morph in mind my long time favorite and of course the trusted battle morph of my favorite Animorph Marco, the silverback gorilla.
