56 Chapter 56 Access to the Josagn Space Station (2/2)
He lowered her slowly to the floor, and looked her over carefully.She wasn't breathing, but technically she shouldn't need to in that form.Knowing that she should heal from any damage she had acquired, he debated on what to do.
”PED, grow me to my six-foot form, and return to my left arm.”
(EVOLUTION INITIATED.)
(EVOLUTION COMPLETE)
He couldn't connect wires from his PED to hers, because of the layers of crystal plates protecting it.Scratching his head, he wondered what to do.Why couldn't this be as easy as machines?
Finally, not knowing what else to do, he started prying off one crystal at a time, but it was very labor intensive, and he wasn't sure how much time he had before anyone showed up.
”PED, can you remote connect to her PED and see what's wrong?”
(INITIATING AN ATTEMPT.ATTEMPT WAS SUCCESSFUL, IT APPEARS AS IF SHE HAS FALLEN INTO A COMA.HER BRAIN SUFFERED DAMAGE DURING THE EXPLOSION, AND THE PED IS WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION TO INITIATE AN EVOLUTION.IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE DAMAGED TO SOME EXTENT.)
”Well, initiate a change, so I can access it and fix it.”
The scales slid away from the PED, but she remained in the small space form.Dustin wasted no time getting into the PED to try and fix it.Some of the important components were damaged.Sitting back on his heels, he realized that if he couldn't find parts to fix it, she could die.
Looking around the room, he didn't see anything that might help.
”PED, can you hack the system of this station?”
(NO, THE SECURITY IS TOO HIGH.)
He nodded, glancing over at the robot.It was busy scanning the suits.Could there be any parts in it he could use?But as he thought about it, he had to shake his head.There was no way.It turned his way as he thought this.
”We should probably leave this area.The security system has sent biobots to investigate the activation of the space port.”
”You can access the system?” Dustin asked in surprise, picking up Olivia's small body.It wasn't that heavy.In fact, it was almost like carrying a child.Since he had memories of having sex with her, he shook his head hard at the ensuing mental images.He wanted to scrub his head out with steel wool.Whatever he may have been like in his life before the Josagn, it definitely was not a pedophile.
”Affirmative.Is there something in specific you would like to know?The system is exactly the same as my own.”
That sent warning bells through his head, and he wondered for a moment if this was all a trap.How could the Josagn station system be identical to 200-year-old human tech?That didn't make sense.
”Well, we need a safe place to hide from the security, or biobots, whatever those are, and then I need parts to repair Olivia's PED.”
”I can show you the way, if you open the door.”
Removing the piece of armor, he made sure to put it back where it had been, then grabbing the loose scales he had pried off Olivia's back, he opened the door.
Floating in the air, on the other side of the door, was a black spider thing.Its body was oval, with spikes sticking out in every direction, ranging from six inches to a foot in length.It didn't seem to have a face, but Dustin knew it was looking right at him.
Without thinking, he punched it.
