- So, in a few days I have to become a full fox? With four paws, fur, tail and unable to speak?
- Yes. - answered his parents. - For the speak - we are not sure. Maybe, you will be able to talk.
- But I does now want to be a fox! - said Oliver.
- You have to be. Last year, scientists deciphered a message from aliens. They scanned Earth and found what humans do with other animals. By their standards, this is a crime with death penalty. In a month, their bots will reach our planet and destroy each human they met.
- Aaaa! I do not want to lose you!
- No, we will not die. There are a big cryogenic lab on South Pole. Just before the invasion starts, all adults will be frozen. The problem is there are no technology yet for de-freeze. We have no time to make it. Later generation have to invent it and revive us. Instead, we have a technology to change human into animal, but it could be used only on children. We store some devices to change you back after invasion ends. But for some years, you have to live in wild.
- For some years? But I will be a full-grown fox in a year. Didn't you said that it is only for children?
- Yes, you will remain a fox for the rest of your life. Either way, this change works only once. But you will change your kits into humans and teach them to live in harmony with other animals.
- Oh, it's so serious! But, maybe, I can change into otter, like Brad? I do not want to be alone.
