Blueberry Pie

One of the radio techs said "Hey, I found something."

Walking over I asked "What zone, word on military reactions?"

"Grocery zone, your territory sir, ma'am, sorry," after a moment of silence he said "This is big, they're not sending a first gen sniffer at all, they're sending a second gen team being led by, shit, it's led by a third gen ma'am, sir."

Groaning I said "Fucking hell, only four of them in existence and this is big enough to use one instead of at the side of some damn government official."

Holding the headphone set suddenly the tech said "We have a positive ID now on who they're going after, some government official named Jerry Finn. Sir, he's the secretary of defense, we need to stop them from getting to him first ma'am."

Sprinting out of the room as soon as I entered the Grocery zone entry I shouted "Get the door open, I'm taking Devil's new creation!"

As others got out of my way someone tossed me the keys right as I got to the door and an instant later I was throwing it into reverse and flooring my way down the tunnel. Signaling the door at the end I felt the car fly through the air at the exit ramp and land lightly as the entire car reacted to brace against the impact. Turning on a pin head I was amazed at his construction as usual.

Plugging my phone into an adapter I said "Tell me the details, I'm taking the fifty eighth towards the grocery."

Over the car's speakers I heard Sherri say "You shouldn't have gone without checking in first Blueberry."

Growling I said "Vodka, this is the damn SoD we're talking about here. I am not going to let those bastards take another promising life given a new chance."

"Blueberry, we're going to actually meet after this mission. Get him out of there alive, and don't you dare die in the process, I need to hit you for disobeying an order. Now take that until you see, you know the hex letter system right," in her wait I said yes and she continued by saying "Forty eight, forty one, fifty five, forty seven, forty five road. From there take a left and then a third right, forth mailbox in take the left side house with the numbers "

Hauge road, seeing it on my left I followed Sherri's directions easily enough but when I was turning into the neighborhood I saw the military Humvee with a sniffer sitting at the gunner turret who immediately started firing at me and for once I was completely confident that I was completely safe as right then. The moment the bullets hit Devil's home made bullet resistant glass they made tiny cracks and flew away afterwards.

Switching into reverse I backed up as far as I could before flooring it and getting up to one hundred and thirty the car hit the Humvee and sheered through the bottom, pulling a sharp turn and pressing the driver side window fall switch I quickly aimed before firing a bullet through the second gen sniffer's eyes. Pressing the button again the window re-secured itself I got out and walked to the back of the car to grab my guns.

Strapping up I put on a bullet proof vest under my usual button up and smoothed it over. With a pair of fifty desert eagles modified by Anne to take double wide clips that were extended. Picking up a custom two barreled fifty caliber with belt fed rounds that wrapped around my tail, fired with the tip of my tail pulling the trigger.

Walking up to the door I kicked it open and fired four bullets into the two sniffers waiting, two bullets with my eagles and two with my tail fifties. As they fell I heard someone yell "A first gen has killed three second gens, that is quite impressive."

Smiling I shouted "Oh, you know, just because they have better bonuses in their human form doesn't mean that I can't beat them with better teachers. So I assume you're the third gen, I've met one of you before, she was hot. Of course a lot of sniffers are pretty hot since they're beyond peak physical limits. It certainly helped me after I turned, reflexes and strength beyond even others that turn."

"You are just a first gen, even with the benefits you get from having turned you don't stand a chance against five second gen and a third gen all working with one mind, literally," he was arrogant, confident that he would win. But I had nearly beaten the last third gen that I had faced, and this one I would beat.

A moment later I stepped through the next doorway, flipping through there air and pulling all three triggers several times, putting bullets in two sniffers and propelling my side flip into a back flip with the kick. Running through the doorway they were in front of I slid across the floor and fired them all again. One of the sniffers died immediately and a second one took three bullets to the shoulder, spinning them around as they tried to dodge more. The third in the room though seemed to disappear and the bullets for him landed in the wall behind him.

"Damn, all but two of us," he said before dodging another set of bullets, the other one wasn't so lucky as he took a bullet right between the eyes, "Well that is quite impressive, but you won't be taking me down."

As he threw a knife at me I shot it out of the air and said "No, you won't be taking me down because I know the weakness of the third gens."

"Weakness, we have no weakne..." he wasn't able to finish his sentence then though as a pair of bullets appeared, one in his throat and one in his nose.

Pulling myself off the floor I said "Mister secretary of defense, it's safe now. I will help you escape from here, you can trust me, I'm like you."

Coming out of the closet I saw that he was apparently awake during his transformation, and not screaming in pain like most who retain awareness in the event. He was part feline, golden fur with cheetah spots were occurring, his muzzle was only half formed as he asked "Which part, being gay or being a fur?"

He was half joking of course since he could see I was a lizard but I waved my hand and said "Kinda both, I'm bi but that hardly matters anymore since the change made me into a hermaphrodite, but right now we need to go, ditch any electronics you have on you and grab a couple shirts and pants."

As he grabbed a few I was wishing he would hurry up the entire time, the shrapnel from the knife I had shot splintered and showered through my arms and legs. Bloody spots were showing up and I was getting antsy with the dead sniffers and the tracking systems they all had. Dragging him out of the house finally I practically shoved him in the car before getting in myself and flooring it.

After a moment the SoD asked "So how did you know to come, and how did you cut down those sniffers like they were nothing, I know how much their training costs."

Sighing I said "You paid for me to take those training courses too, the first gen sniffers are not immune to turning but it's rare and we know when we're turning due to our enhanced senses detecting the changes internally some weeks before. As for knowing about you, we have people from all branches of the government, so we can listen in on everything. Primarily thanks to paranoid security cryptographers who created backdoors in everything you can think of."

Digesting that for a moment he asked "You want to know what the plans are currently, that's why someone like you came. There a lot of big things in the works, they intend to clone the current third gens and make more of them. They are also going to try and create more with the genome required by breeding the current third gens since before today they had three female third gens and one male."

Pulling off the road and pressing the button for the hidden entrance in an abandoned factory on the edge of town I started laughing, "So basically I fucked up their plans until they can make another third gen male, how fun."

"They are doing a nation wide blood test," he said grabbing the door when we entered the tunnel, "They hope to find more with the right genome, they're making it mandatory and paying everyone two hundred afterwards."

As we entered the base I pulled the car in a hard tight spin and threw it into reverse and parked in the open spot. Turning the car off I said "Listen, don't worry about everything. We are a resistance that accepts everyone for who they are, what they are, and who they fuck."

At that moment I looked at him and saw him sit completely upright and sink into his seat saying "No, not her, that can't be her."

Looking out the front of the car I said "Sherri, what about her?"

Walking up to the SoD's side of the car she opened it and said "Mister secretary, I assume you know who I am."

Nodding he said "Geist, you killed my predecessor in front of me because the military ordered you to, and you said that if I ever told anyone so long as I held my position in that government then you would kill me and who I told."

Smiling she said "Good, now get the fuck out of here, someone else will show you around and introduce you to the council."

As he scrambled to do so she slipped over the roof of the car in an instant and I realized that she was moving faster than I had seen even the third gen move. As my door opened I said "How the hell?"

"I push the boundaries of what any living thing can do, I was the origin for their sniffer genetic modifications and had some of the early ones tested on me. My turning pushed that even further into the realm of impossible. I need to blow off some stress, mind talking or preferably sparring?" she asked.

Looking at her in shock I said "You want to spar with me, most avoid me like the plague because of what I am and or was, fuck yes."

Pulling the keys out I tossed them and said "Thanks Dawn, remind me to give that beautiful thing a wash down later," before jogging off to follow Sherri to the gym with the sparring ring. That jog turned into a dead sprint racing her to the gym and with me putting everything into it she still beat me by several seconds. Panting I asked "How the hell are you not out of breath?"

Shrugging she said "I am a solid mass of muscle, my lungs absorb oxygen more efficiently than normal. Also I have a strange body structure in the first place, apparently I don't have a diaphragm, I have a third lung there instead. So I take air in through a secondary airway every time I exhale."

Looking at her I caught my breath and said "How the fuck can anyone beat you one on one?"

"They can't, she's beaten everyone in the base who will spar with her. Devil, me, one of her own trainees from before she changed, even then she was near untouchable. She has taken on the entire gym simultaneously and floored everyone. Good luck, you need it," Klaw said while coming up behind me, pointing at Sherri he said "Someone is looking for you by now is my guess, make this quick."

Smiling she said "It always is, no matter who I fight or how I do so." Turning to me she asked "Unarmed or training weapons?"

Smiling I said "I can't use weapons, honestly I'm bad at unarmed as well but I can hold my own normally, I specialize in fifty caliber weaponry, but if we did that one of us would die since you're the queen of weapons and I'm called the Eagle eating lizard."

Whistling she said "Hold your own, this will be interesting, now we'll see exactly that stands up." Flipping backwards she landed at the entirely opposite side of the ring and leaned against the corner post.

Walking up I jumped into the ring and said "Well let's try this out then."

She just stood there for several seconds until I blinked quickly and suddenly she was already halfway across the ring with a punch aimed straight for my face. Bringing up my hand I caught the punch and redirected the energy for a moment but somehow she turned that to her advantage and I felt her tail sweeping my feet out from under me and her other hand swinging around to land a bone shattering blow to my clavicle and then my lower right ribs.

Ignoring the pain I used my hold on her hand and attempted to slam her against the mat. I heard her tail crack against the mat though to change her body position so that she was standing on my back and pulling my arm into a painful position and grabbing my hand with her own to prevent me from simply letting go. Feeling her pull my arm farther back I said "Okay, damn you are strong."

Letting go of my hand she stepped off my back and said "You should get the infirmary to look at that, I was trying to hold back but after you managed to sprain my wrist I knocked it up a little further than I meant to." As she stopped talking I grabbed her ankle and threw her across the ring. As she got back up she said "Well you're a little firecracker, you didn't mean that you give up, you were just admitting that I'm stronger than you thought I would be."

Smiling I said "Round two begins now, knuckle dusters?" Her hands flashed into her pants where there didn't appear to be any pockets and suddenly a pair of dusters was flying at me. Catching them I asked "How many weapons do you have on you?"

Putting on her own pair of dusters Sherri said "Right now, around twenty, but for a mission I am covered in weapons of every kind, my pistols can be used to build sniper rifles or assault rifles. I use different blades of every kind, I have a pair of expanding tonfa attached to my arms that detach easily so I can switch them around and continue the flow of combat without pause. I have a pair of tasers that are on super conductive insulated lines to prevent shocking myself but allow me to either use them with just melee or any metal weapons since I adapt them all to use that circuit. I carry a custom battery designed for that process."

Whistling I said "You are one damn hard bitch to take down, ready?"

It didn't take long to start this time, the moment I saw her twitch forward I launched into the assault. Feeling the twinge in my ribs I moved slightly to the right to show more of my left and hide the injury from further blows. Blinking one eye at a time I saw her flash forward at that instant and leading her punch a little I met the blow with one of my own and realized too late that it had been a feint covering her real assault directly to my head.

Ducking I felt her graze the top of my skull with the edge of the knuckle dusters and then her tail crashed into my right ribs again but not in time to stop my other hand from connecting with her stomach. It felt like I was trying to punch a steel girder, the dusters were digging into my scales and I knew that I was in trouble. Pulling back I attempted to use her momentum against her as she moved forward but suddenly she was using my attempted grapple to swing around my defenses and kick me in the back and the land another blow to my ribs with her tail.

As I fell she said "Don't get up, I'm going to take you to the infirmary." Before I had completely hit the ground I felt her grab me and start to carry me out. "Say Blueberry, what is your name anyway. No one I checked with knew, you're as much of a ghost as me."

Chuckling I winced and said "My name is long gone, but most who know me now call me Roslyn." Closing my eyes I remembered back to when I had first arrived here after everything went to crap with the military because I had turned.

Five years ago

Looking around I was worried that one of the others was coming. I heard that they were making new better sniffers that could trace further and were tougher and stronger. Looking around I concentrated and found at the very least there were no other sniffers that I could feel. Pulling out the renegade phone that I had taken during my last raid on a fur I dialed the number that was registered as just 'Mountain'.

After ringing a few times someone answered and I said "Um hello?"

A male voice asked "Who is this, what do you want."

"Help would be good, I get this off of a dead fur and I just turned and this number stood out to me as being important, so can someone please help me before sniffers arrive," I rambled off quickly and nervously.

"Miss, we'll send a team out to you if you can tell us where you are, give me thirty seconds to completely isolate this call," after a few moments she said "Tell me where you are, I'll send a team out to meet you."

Giving her the directions I waited nearby until a large black van rolled up and a small possum got out on one side and a brown scorpion got out on the drivers side. Walking out of the shadow of the trees I said "I take it you're who I'm supposed to meet."

Walking over the Scorpion said "My name is Anne, this is Dawn."

"Hey, god that's weird, my voice is really different now, does that normally happen?" I asked.

Walking up behind Anne, Dawn said "No, sometimes guys sound different but us girls usually sound the same."

Confused I said "Uh, I'm not a girl."

Looking at each other they said "You have curves, you're a lizard so you don't have breasts, most don't at least, but you are very evidently female. Have you not seen a mirror yet?"

Shaking my head I said "No way, I was born a guy, I mean I'm bi but still a guy. Look, can we please move quickly, I cut the receiver out of my own shoulder but I'm still worried."

"Wait, what receiver?" Anne asked.

"I'm a sniffer, so I had a receiver in my shoulder like all sniffers. If you don't believe I cut it out you can check for yourself," I said while turning to show my shoulder to Anne who walked up and felt around inside briefly before pulling a scanner like device out of a backpack and passing it over the wound.

"There was a tracking device or electronic signature of some kind here, but it is completely gone now. I wouldn't have suspected that sniffers can turn, but this places an entirely new view on matters," she said while putting the scanner away.

Whistling Dawn said "Well, who are we to judge you honestly, I was born this way, I'm only seventeen. I could speak of judgement all I like but I was never even a part of that world, so I have absolutely no right to speak as if I'm better just because I was born this way."

Nodding I said "I still feel bad about it, we're conditioned to hate you but it feels nearly impossible to break it and very few of us do. All we think about is death and destruction, about killing the next fur. A terrible fact though is that some of us choose this life, they want to kill furs for a living."

"That's absolutely awful, how can people choose to do such a thing, what happened to freewill?" Dawn asked.

Disgusted Anne said "Because they're despicable monsters, they don't care about freedom or right to life. Whatever they can do to stay in power, that is all they care about."

Looking her over I said "Sounds like you have experience."

Nodding she motioned for us to get in the van, which relieved me immensely. After we got in Anne started the van and for a moment was silent but she eventually said "I worked as a freelance technical engineer, other people had ideas and I made those ideas happen. I have a degree in bio engineering since it's a burgeoning field full of potential, I turned a year and a half ago. They commissioned me to create a new type of sniffers, better than the current models by far, except they didn't tell me I was creating sniffers when they hired me. I made designs based on a rare genome type, it allowed for extreme modification and for the ability to lock out turning fur."

A solemn tone entered my voice as I said "So it is true then, us 'first gen' heard rumors that they were going to start production of a new type, stronger, faster and more deadly. We started hearing about how they were trying to create something more powerful than the furs since even the best soldier can turn, and what is he to do then. The military is told to shoot any fur on sight, even if it were the ranking general or president."

We heard sirens in the distance and knew it was time to go since the police were apparently being called in on the hunt. As Anne pulled out I found she was a rather crazy driver, but that might have just been to get out before the military or police found us. We were soon driving into an abandoned warehouse and I thought we would just be hiding for a short while until I saw her press a button so that a section of the floor dropped down into a ramp which she drove down and I saw the ramp close behind us.

"Damn, no wonder we couldn't find you lot, you have a tunnel complex hiding you," I said while looking ahead in wonder at the sheer amount of effort this had taken.

Laughing Dawn said "You haven't seen anything yet," and as she said that there was a wall in front of us that opened before we pulled into a large area with several other vehicles in it.

As we parked I got out and looked around, "How in the world did you make this place?"

"We didn't, not entirely anyway," A big bear said while walking over, "My name is Klaw, nice to meet you, but I don't think your old name would really work with your new form."

Laughing lightly I said "No, designation four six two doesn't really work now does it, what would you suggest then, Klaw was it."

After a moment Anne said "How about Roslyn?"

Looking at her I smiled and said "Roslyn, that sounds good."

Present

Opening my eyes heavily I saw that I was still being carried by Sherri. Breathing deeply of her scent until I started coughing from the pressure on my lungs by my broken ribs I said "Sorry for this, but you are beautiful, and thank you."

I felt her stop and murmur out "Thanks, um..."

Laughing through the pain I said "Don't feel bad, I surprise people with that a lot, I tend to get turned down."

As she started moving again I heard her say "Love..." before I faded again into a memory of getting to know Anne better.

********

Three years ago

Jogging up I said "Hey Anne, where are you heading."

"My workshop, care to help with my creation for you tail, I need help balancing it," she said while turning a corner.

As we walked into her workshop I saw the mounts for her creation more complete and with actual gun mechanisms on them finally. Impressed I said "Wow, you are really outdoing yourself with this, I love it."

"Thanks, I've been trying to balance it with my tail but I can't pull the trigger with my tail so all I've been able to do is just a bit of laser alignment. If you don't mind putting it on though that would help immensely," she said while taking it out of the clamps that had held it for welding.

Putting it on with a bit of assistance from her to prevent the still sharp edges on some of the welds from cutting my tail. Pointing it I wrapped the tip of my tail around the pressure trigger I said "Light, did you use titanium?"

Nodding she said "I made all of it from titanium, the inside of the barrel itself though is actually made of an iridium titanium alloy. I was hoping that the increased hardness and density of that alloy would help with the striation retention and that those exceedingly tight striations would increase accuracy and damage potential by making the bullet spin at higher revolutions."

Whistling I said "Do you have ammo to load into it so I can test the alignment?"

Nodding she brought over a pair of long ammo belts that had several fifty caliber rounds in the first few slots of each belt. As she locked them into place she said "The button on the back of that bar you've got your tail around loads the rounds on both sides."

As soon as her hands were off of the guns I pressed the button and watched the belts feed into the chambers, looking at the target I pointed the barrels at the target and squeezed the pressure plate. As the bullets tore through the target Anne let out a series of ascending clicks to simulate a whistle before saying "You amaze me with your enhanced awareness of your surroundings like that." The bullets had torn through the middle of the head and the throat on the target.

Reaching behind me and putting my hand on her shoulder without fail I said "What can I say, I have a good memory." Turning I looked her in the eyes and said "Do you want to put more of that to the test?"

Nodding numbly she said "Yeah, I do want to put a bit more of your abilities to the test." Breaking eye contact she went back to her work bench and after moving a few things around she carried a pair of silver coloured fifty caliber desert eagles with expanded grips and clips as well as two full belts of ammo, with segments of eight clips divided by breaks so that the belts could fall away instead of getting in the way. "I set up the back room as a training exercise, those eagles have the same barrel interior as the guns there," she said pointing at the ones on my tail.

Taking them I loaded the clips and after figuring out how to eject the belts I fed the loaded ones in, wrapping them around my tail I said "If we had a way to make this smoother and stick to my tail."

Nodding Anne said "Yeah, this is just early progress, I'm hoping to have a better clip system designed for it so that the bullets just move up the clips. I'll need to program a minor macro into them both to utilize it correctly, in addition to the one managing the electronic firing."

Smiling I said "I love electronic firing, even such a minute lag reduction is very nice in the middle of a fire fight." Walking into the back room I looked around and saw that she had set up a series of moving targets. Turning back to her I said "Is this all?", holding up both the eagles I blind fired with my tail and both the ones in my hands. Turning back I saw that I had missed a few as one shot kills but they would still be fatal. All of the ones from my tail were guaranteed to be fatal as several were straight through the airway or directly to either side of their heart.

Walking into the middle of the room next to me and looking around Anne said "Holy shit, how can you do that. It's beyond all reasoning, even Sherri doesn't have a trick like that."

Curious I asked "Sherri?"

Smacking herself lightly on her forehead Anne said "Oh, that's right, you haven't heard yet, she arrived a week or so ago. She was known by a few names besides that, apparently her military code name was Geist."

Whistling I said "Damn, I heard about her a long time ago. They wanted her to train the sniffers but she killed the one they sent to ask her, apparently he was one of the scientists that designed the mental programming and she didn't like that."

Laughing Anne said "I heard she was a bit of a loose cannon, she's already mopping the floor with anyone that spars with her, but she doesn't take challenges, only gives them to top operatives or people she thinks would be a good challenge, so eventually she'll ask you to spar. Until then just work to be that."

Putting the guns down I said "Well until then maybe I can practice with you, but I don't mean sparring."

"I, uh, are you hitting on me Roslyn?" Anne asked, unsure of what to do in this situation.

Nodding I said "Do you object, you are a very beautiful woman."

"I, you are, girls have never caught my attention before," she eventually managed to say.

Laughing a little I said "And I've never been with a girl since becoming one."

Waking again I felt that I was on a bed and I saw that Sherri was standing at the side of the room. Walking over she said "Wow, you wake quickly for someone with that much sedative flowing through your system."

Laughing a little and wincing lightly at the pain I said "I'm a tough bitch, it's rather difficult to keep me down. You certainly did a number on me, all of this to me and nothing on you, not even a scratch from the dusters when I did land a blow."

Smiling she said "That was impressive actually, very few can even do that anymore. I would hate to face you in firearms combat, you might actually win."

Shaking my head I said "No I wouldn't, you weren't taking that seriously. I saw you move in the car park, that was faster than I could even keep track of, you didn't move that fast once during our match."

Whistling she said "So you did notice that, damn. You have an unusually high degree of spatial awareness, did you do anything to cultivate that or were you born with it?"

Moving a little to figure out exactly how injured I was and finding that only my ribs were seriously injured but I felt that I had a sprain on my wrist that would heal quickly and a broken finger from punching her, chuckling I said "Both, but what were you saying before I passed out again last time?"

Shrugging she said "Oh, nothing much, just that I don't know if I can love..." until I faded into a memory again.

Three years ago

"Okay, how could I have even known?" I asked Anne, following along behind her in just a pair of hastily thrown on shorts, she was in a quickly put on backwards shirt and her personal button on pants.

"I'm sure that the medical techs should have known, wouldn't they have told you?" she said in response while turning around a corner and avoiding Klaw.

Jumping over Klaw I said "Seriously, they told me that I had something unusual but that I was a perfectly normal female in terms of reproduction organs. I honestly didn't know anything about it!"

Hearing Klaw chuckling behind us I turned and said "Can you please not interrupt in something you don't know about."

Waving his paws I heard a door slam behind me and knew that Anne had locked her personal quarters. Sighing I said "Klaw, can we talk."

"Sure, but you should know that both of you are right," he said while gesturing for me to follow him.

Doing so I asked "What in the world does that mean?"

As we entered his quarters I saw him take a jar down and eat a couple things from inside it before saying "I heard your thoughts, so I know the details of the argument."

Crossing my arms I said "Well that's rather rude, did you consider that it was a private argument?"

Nodding he said "I did, but the two of you were shouting both verbally and mentally, it becomes difficult to ignore. Why do you think I was leaving?"

"Oh, sorry. So what exactly do you think I should do, you know that I didn't know," I said while letting myself fall into one of his chairs.

Taking a seat himself Klaw said "Give her time, few of us are comfortable enough to have sex so soon after the change. Although most will at least relieve some stress so to speak, if you had you probably would have known."

Groaning I said "Look, I don't do that, never have. I do stuff with others or find other ways to relieve my stress as you so put it. I would much rather work out or go down to the firing range than do something as ridiculous as masturbate."

Laughing Klaw said "You are quite military to the core aren't you."

Shrugging I said "I was one of the sniffers they created from military personnel, if they hadn't I would have died."

Sitting forward he said "You have me interested, exactly what happened?"

Thinking back on it I said "Around eight years ago I had an accident, while I was in the hospital they approached me with an experimental genetic re-encoding that would save my life and irreversibly change my body. I agreed, and signed that I would never discuss it with anyone so long as I served the military, and that I could never quit the military so long as I lived."

Laughing he said "Well the military tend to break the contract themselves when someone turns, so please do go on."

Nodding I said "Well afterwards I found that I was stronger, faster, etc. I'm sure you're familiar with the drill. When I asked how they came across the ability to do this they told me that they had someone with a unique genome sequence that allowed her to surpass normal human capabilities. Using that they were able to start experiments on humans who agreed to sign that they did not blame the military for anything that happened afterwards.

Looking around I continued "So, after that I went into training to utilize my new abilities better, there were a few others there but not many since it was the absolute beginning of the sniffers creation. I found soon that I was losing control of my actions though, I remember everything that I did though. They took my spatial awareness and used that. Use of that became so second nature that even now their training directs my muscles."

Nodding he said "I've heard that you are unparralled on the close range course, you can take out every single target. Sometimes you don't even use the same number of bullets as there are targets, you are so aware of the movement of the targets that your bullets will go through several at once."

"Yes, that is true. But you see, the first gen sniffers are all 'brainwashed' to use a cliched term. That is why so many of them are a bit useless. As you know the second gen ones are much more effective, for many reasons of course. They are not brainwashed so much as trained into submission, this on top of their further increased abilities is why they are such a leap, even if they are based on a somewhat uncommon genome.

"If the one that the original experiments were created from is still around and in military hands then I suspect we can see something more dangerous on the horizon. But honestly even if she is still around I am more worried about armies of second and eventually third gen sniffers than one unstoppable soldier, given enough bullets anything that has blood in its veins can die. Even a super soldier," I said.

Making a faint noise under his breath Klaw said "Well, I'm not entirely sure about that, there are occurrences of those that can dodge a bullet. A small strike force like that could take down an entire base if given the right plan."

Shaking my head I said "Well I can do that under the right circumstances, but even knowing that I find it hard to believe that anyone could do that regularly. It simply is beyond normal human abilities."

"I can read minds, you have a spatial awareness that is beyond normal abilities with strength and reflexes that world champions would kill for, to top it all off I'm an anthropomorphic bear, you a lizard. What among what I just listed would imply human abilities?" Klaw asked.

Laughing I said "Well I suppose you're right, nothing in this base falls under the category human abilities anymore. Especially not that Devil fellow, he's huge!"

Waking again I saw that Sherri was sitting off to the side now, "Hey, sorry I keep falling asleep on you."

Looking up and seeing that I was awake again she walked over and said "It's fine, before you fall asleep again what I've said twice now was that I don't know if I can love anyone else. But I am willing to try for someone so determined to try and fight me."

Smiling I said "Well then that sounds good."

I noticed as she reached down that her claws were practically filed all the way down to a rounded nub as she ran a clawed finger along the side of my face. "I'll be back after having lunch and silencing the voice in my head for a little while hopefully."

As she walked out of the medical center I heard her say "Hey Mike, if you want to talk I'm going to have lunch now."

A voice I didn't recognize said "Okay."

After that I was awake for a little while before deciding that food sounded good, and the medical center food would probably be just as bad as hospital food. Pulling myself up off the bed I leaned against the wall and grabbed a crutch from a cabinet on the wall.
