Now the thing was Dorothea didn't actually remember the transformation or the aftermath of her transformations,beyond
the notes she took before she entered the Transmutor Egg and
occasionally some garbled scribbled her changing form and mind seemed to have taken after the Transmutation cycle had
begun,
That and a few camera's she had placed here and there in the
Laboratory had caught a few shots of a big reptilian winged
thing dashing out of the view of the cameras.
Generally it was a matter of she wrote some notes in her
research notebook,and then the next thing she remembered was
waking up anywhere from nine days to nine months
later,sometimes nude,sometimes clothed
in any manner of places including the Laboratory itself.
Since she'd always woken up as herself again,she had come
to assume that whatever big scaley thing she transformed into
had a use for her as she was.
So Dorothea shut down the Teleporter machinery and then
returned to the huge room where the alien Transmutor Egg
sat idled.
In its idled state it looked like hovering Platform at floor level
a hovering half egg shaped metallic dome suspended in a air
hundred feet above the Platform and a similar but bottom half
of a egg metallic dome suspended down in the cavernous
basement levels one hundred feet below the Platform.
Dorothea had some educated guesses of what the use for the
device had been by the big scaley aliens ,her most recent
hypothesis being that it was built by the aliens from long ago
to carry out multiday or multimonth Missions.
