I see...

-he thinks for a moment-

Have you tried Mars?

I believe there might be life there.

I remember the reports of green flashes coming from its' surface.

That was a hundred years ago, or more, however.

Don't think anything came of it.

"Krk," was the only noise to come from Sam as her hand moved to cover her mouth, her eyes sparkling. Her shoulders heaved and she turned her gaze towards the ground, hiding her face within the darkness of the night.

I could fly around Mars and give it a check. I can't breathe there, sadly.

-Jo looks over to Sam- Did... Did I say something wrong?

Oh, uh, hold on. My time is almost up... Sorry, Sam.

-The alien ducks into the bushes again-

-Those sounds are not getting less fleshy. There seems to be some sort of goo-explosion. Probably his back legs growing back in as his bladed tail swishes above the bushes-

-then looks to Sam-

... Something the matter?

The fleshy sounds do seem to calm her somewhat, although when she looks back at Jack her eyes are still shining with amusement, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just," she covers her mouth with one hand and stiffles a few laughs, the other hand holding up one finger. When the giggling fit was over, she took a deep breath, "It's just when he said that I thought of my sister and what militaries wouldn't draft her in a heartbeat, and it was just a ridiculous image."

You must have one tough sister, then?

-Jovek nods at Sam, although he's aware she can't hear him now-

Ah, I did learn that human genders are more... blended than ours.

I wish my leaders asked what I wanted to be, instead of deciding it for me...

... I also wish I had a sister... or a brother...

"You'd have to meet her to believe her, I described her to my classmates once and they thought I was pulling their leg till I dragged her along to one of my school's dances. She's like the nicest, gentlest people you'll ever meet, but she can seriously kick anyone's ass if she puts her mind to it."

-chuckles slightly-

Ah, such is life.

Some people seem so- beyond the normal.

I've met quite a few who no-one would believe me that they exist if I described such people.

Sam stood up and walked closer to Jack with a grin, "Try me. You'd be surprised what I can believe, after all the things I've seen."

...! That's exactly what my Shorm was like! He was the kindest person to me. Even if I was holding him back, he always came back for me.

I... I really miss him...

-to Sam-

Ah- also Jovek mentions that they also had someone who was like your sister, in the gentleness department...

In fact, I wonder if I should just translate what he's saying for you.

But-

The man I knew who gave me a safehouse for many years, was the kind of man who installed fear, just with his presence.

Everyone I saw him meet, was tense. Even at the mention of his name, those who knew who you were talking about- would turn a shade of pale.

This man's eyes were so intense, that I have seen him convince a man that he was paralysed. Some of his other associates that I knew, have told me that they've seen men draw pistols on him-

And be unable to pull the trigger, because of that intimidating presence.

"Is he still over there in the brushes? I thought he had somewhere to go. That's one damn nifty trick, though. And he was just like this? Nothing supernatural about it?"

He is a mystic...

But he's never told me how much of it is his charisma, and how much of it is that mysticism.

And to be honest, it's probably a little of both.

I was... busy putting away my human clothes.

"Probably a bit of both, you need to have the charisma to know what to do when you heighten it or sommat. I dunno, speculation is speculation. Still, though, I've seen stuff like that before, you gotta try harder than that. Surely you're not out of interesting people after... huh?"

She turned towards the bush, "Oh, you're still in there. Still not able to communicate with me, huh?"

I must be completely silent to Sam...

Of course not.

I have an albino that made himself invisible with chemicals. Actually one of my closest friends, that one... though I've heard he's been killed, sadly.

There was, back in the old days, a man who- with his skills with a scalpel- managed to somehow vivisect animals into acting almost like men. But he was killed by one of the creations.

I knew a man who was trying to work on a formula to separate a man's good from his evil- to exterminate evil in mankind... I actually funded some of his work. He's also dead. And it didn't work.

There's more but I'd be here all day.
