8. Dr Valparaíso helps Rayco learn a new skill

	<	So... How are you feeling, Mr. Cavanagh?
	<	I'm good, thanks.

	<	Really? Your body has internally transformed into something that biologists can't even classify, and you feel no discomfort at all? No itch or even heartburn?
	<	I seriously feel better than ever, doctor. It's like I'm stuffed with morphine or some shit. It's amazing! And don't even get me started on the eyes!
	<	Actually, let's even get you started on the eyes. I have no idea how yours work now. Can you see at all?

Can I see at all? I can see everything!

I can see colors I don't even know how to name!

I can see all microscopic particles in the air!

I can see the people in other rooms through the walls!

I can see your tits through your hazmat suit!

Shit, I can even see my toes!

Although that's probably because for some reason I'm suddenly fucking thin!

	<	Yes, according to your citizen profile on the government database, you have lost, or otherwise compressed and relocated, 25 Kg of fat in barely twelve hours, which isn't just ridiculously unhealthy, but also serves no clear biological purpose. That being said, although your body is now undeniably closer to a less risky shape, it also suits our current societal standards of appearance better. That leads me to believe that its change has not ocurred spontaneously, but under your subconscious guidance. We might be able to ascertain this hypothesis by forcing a secondary modification, based on the controlled introduction of a new social prejudice. This experiment is probably a shot in the dark, but would you mind believing that you would look fabulous in blue?
	<	Blue?

	<	Woah. Will this shade do?
	<	Well, that was disappointingly easy. Barely any dissection was required. Let us try something more challenging. Please, disregard whichever gender preferences you have right now and choose to be female.

	<	Not bad at all, that looks surprisingly accurate.
	<	Thanks! I think I will be doing a few experiments of my own with this one later.
	<	Lovely. Now, would you please try to turn into a different species?

	<	How's this?
	<	Quite impressive. According to Azulian records of life energy poisoning on other species, these transformation capabilities may be just the beginning. This requires further experimentation.

	<	Prime Minister Krolikova is optimistic about your potential, and how any abilities you eventually develop could serve the city, especially since you seem to be able not only to alter your own body, but also any organic matter in your surroundings, at least indirectly.
	<	I can?
	<	Yes, we have verified that. You have been subconsciously pumping so many pheromones into the air that any living creature to enter this room would literally orgasm to death.
	<	Oh. I was kind of wondering about the hazmat suit.
