Actually it was the Professor and Pennywhistle who had arrived
at Allendale.Hannah had gone missing and at
that moment lay dying in her durzzack body,which wasn't adopted to this sort of thing.
She slipped into a fevered dream and dreamed a stranger with no face had burst into her human mothers
kitchen and was going for a carving knife to slay her
mother.
Hannah struggled with the figure and as their faces touched she could see he had the face
of a artic fox
Then the vision shifted and Hannah was gazing down apon the tiny
figure of a female artic fox stuck between two
autonomous tracked arctic
transports.
The fox darted to the right and was struck and killed
Then the vision repeated itself and this time the artic fox
darted to the left and was
struck and killed by the other
2 story tracked vehicle
Then Hannah got the sensation she was re-materializing into a new shape and found herself hitting the snow
a real arctic transport rushing her from the front and the vibrating
snow telling her another of the huge monsters
was coming in from behind her.
Resisting the instincts that told her to dash either
to the right or left
Hannah instead dashed beside the track of the oncoming vehicle
and the tracked vehicle behind her rced past
closed enough to brush the feathers on her snowy owl wings
Then she dashed swiftly to the left once she was safely clear
of the vehicle that now lay behind her
and stopped to gaze apon the two transports vanish in the arctic haze
She looked herself over
She was a female arctic fox
with wings of arctic owl and taloned
forelegs of same
Then using those somewhat useless wings she bounded along for several miles till she came to the
small Quonset hut service cabin the Transport Line
used to service the autonomous markers
along the 400 mile long route.

200 miles South Moosonee
200 miles North Tuktoyuktuk Airport
The Profesor had told her these shape shifts
had a annoying habit of dumping a durzzack dragon elsewhere
then where it had started
Hannah padded up to the wooden door and placed
her arctic talons on its flapping window
From inside the Quonset a 22 rifle shot rang out and a hole appeared in the wooden door four feet above her head
