"I'll kick," scoffed Jordan, but his disbelief wasn't as strong as it had been.
"Sure you will," said Anti. "It may not be as quick as we expect. Of course if we learn anything from interchange of science with the aliens the time may be shortened. Cameron says they're bound to help us advance, just as we'll aid them. He's cautious though, and doesn't want to figure that in until it actually occurs."
"I'll believe it then," said Docchi. "But you didn't mention Jeriann. Or do you consider her already normal?"
Anti frowned at her toes and slipped her feet into the sandals. "No, I don't. She seems to be in nearly perfect health. But don't believe everything you see."
"Darling," said Jeriann. "When did I have my last capsule? I don't have any with me."
"An hour or so ago."
"Are you sure? My time sense keeps warning me."
"If you think we should let's go and get one."
"She knows," said Anti. "I heard the doctor telling her that her case looked easy but wasn't. She'll be the last."
"Wait," called Docchi who scarcely heard what Anti was saying. He hurried out into the hall after Jeriann. He was gone a few minutes, and when he came back there was a handprint flaming and furious on his face.
