Amma stopped and turned to look down the illuminated corridor. She whispered over her shoulder, "I don't know what a 'Honorary Sururin' is. That is what my goggles translated the symbols on my helmet to. I didn't know that the Measure put another outfit in my HSD! This is really cool!" Eelgom looked around nervously, and asked, "What's an HSD? Where did your other outfit go?" Amma looked back at him, and frowned. "A HSD is short for 'Hyper-space Storage Device' and I suspect that my other clothes are in 'Hyper-space'. What ever THAT really is. In this outfit, I can read that I have one more outfit in here in storage. A powered armor combat suit, no less! Woohoo!" Eelgom complained, "It's too hot and it smells bad down here! Where are we going?" Amma looked at her internal map she had downloaded from the city Information Bureau, while she swore in a whisper, "You wimpy, girly boy! You wouldn't last two seconds on the surface, and you have no backbone AT ALL! I should leave you here to fend for yourself." Eelgom thought his head would explode. He pushed Amma and said in angry growl, "YOU are the one that beat up those three human boys! You are the one with the big GUN! I didn't want to get involved!" Amma glanced at Eelgom and smiled tightly at him, and said quietly, "Are you growing a backbone? You could have used one to protect one of your own women from those rapists! They identified you! You were so fumble-footed, you tripped one while they ran away. Unless you did it on purpose?" Eelgom looked guilty and bowed his head. She would have said something else to him, when the Measure's voice came out of her ear-piece. "Amma! Are you in trouble? I read one large life-form next to you. Can you talk?" The Measure sounded concerned. Amma said, "Yeah. Trouble." Amma told the Measure what she had done and waited for a response. Measure paused and sent back,"Here's the plan. You are twenty feet from a strip-joint called 'Tree of Two Lanterns. They'll open for business in about an hour to start serving dinner. Sneak into the backstage-area and stay out of sight!" Measure laughed, "Lurking around in the maintenance tunnels, or the ventilation shafts are SO stereotypical, that IS the first place the cops will look for you. They will find your friend--not you! Amma--you are in the most advanced stealth-suit on planet. You shift to 'AIRTIGHT' mode to turn invisible. Be careful...I'm on way!" Amma said to Eelgom, "C'mon! We're going someplace! Apparently it's some furniture refinishing place, that also serves dinner. Weird." The clueless Amma, lead Eelgom down the lit corridor to the back of the 'Tree of Two Lanterns'. --TO BE CONTINUED!-- Media is Poser7,Blacksmith2.2 and Wings3d
