<snip>
The man looked confused for a moment then looked down at himself. "Oh
actually I am fully clothed. This is the latest fashion, transparent
clothes. What do you think?"
He stood with his hands on his hips.

Seymour forced himself to look, but swallowed hard to prevent from
being sick. It was clear the man didn't work out. "Erm... very...
nice."
The doctor went and sat behind his transparent desk, where Seymour
could still see everything. Gladly, the overhang of the doctor's
belly covered the most offensive item.
The doctor picked up a ring binder from his desk and started reading.
"You're here about the patient Jennifer Bond is this correct?"
"That is correct." Said Seymour. "She's currently in a hospital on
Titan."
"Is she your wife?"
"No."
The doctor studied her file some more. "But you have a child with
her, is this correct?"
"Yes. "
"And where is the baby now?"
"A zero-gravity crèche on Titan. I didn't want to be one of those
annoying parents who insists on taking their screaming children on
interstellar transports."
The doctor glared. "I have seven children and we go on holiday on
interstellar transports three times a year."
Seymour bit his lip.
The doctor took a data CD from the file and turned it over in his
hands.
"This case interested me so I asked the hospital on Titan to send me
over all their data. But I have to say I disagree with their
analysis."
"Jolly good!" Said Seymour "Then you know how to save her?"
"No."
"Oh."
"But I disagree with their basic analysis on her species."
"What?" Seymour stood up.
"This file says she is human. But my analysis says different."
"Of course she is human. She looks human. She gave birth to a human
child!"
The doctor interlaced his fingers and leaned forward. "She looks
human, yes. But there is enough evidence in her DNA to prove
otherwise"
Seymour was stunned into silence. "But the doctors on Titan... why
didn't they discover this?"
The naked man shrugged. "They probably never even thought to check.
Next time come to us first. TransMeds look for this type of thing,
it's our speciality." He said ominously.
"I don't believe you!" Seymour shouted across the desk. He then
paused. "What about Alota?"
"Ah yes, the baby. I think we need to do some tests on her."
"Not a chance." Said Seymour puffing his chest out.
"That baby is very important Mr Nipples. You must bring her to us. Or
we'll have to take her for ourselves."
Seymour's face dropped and he turned to run out of the office. He had
to get back to Titan, back to his baby.
As Seymour left, Dr Nettles picked up his phone. "There is a
halfbreed baby on Titan I need you to collect. She's different to
everything we've seen before, I'm almost one hundred percent sure
it's from the Karangeth Avatar universe. It could make us very
powerful!"
There was a pause as the person on the other end of the phone spoke.
"Yes Sir. It's probably half human, and half Avatar. The father
probably doesn't even know it."
< To be continued! This is only a minor cliffhanger, but I want you
to think hard children - who is this Doctor talking to on the phone?
And WTF is a Karangeth Avatar? And why would they want to capture
one? >
