Making love to Irene, Lawrence thought, was different from any other kind of sex he had ever had--the mere fact that he thought of it as "making love" rather than "screwing" was testimony to that. Rather than making use of a woman, it felt like he was worshiping a goddess with his body--a very earthy, sexy and practical goddess who had been a male 24 hours ago and had shot out Lawrence's knee, but still a goddess. He burned with the desire to be worthy of her, not just as a lover, but as a man. Or as a male pegasus-morph.
Irene felt at peace with the universe, but also charged for a new mission. The technology shouldn't be restricted to people who could afford park visits or were chosen randomly for promotional purposes--or, in the case of Mark's facility, were essentially kidnapped. Everyone in the world needed free and open access to it, as life could flow in a million different channels and everyone could be as happy as she was.

"What the hell is that thing?" muttered Eduardo, as the creature the Minotaur had become staggered out of the transformation chamber. "Some sort of bird-morph?"
"Got me" answered Roberto. "Let's get the hell out of here. Everyone probably cleared out because the cops are coming."

"They located the off-site transformation facility. We got a call from one of the prisoners there, apparently the head honchos cleared out but a bunch of jaguarmorphs from the Labyrinth are headed out there. Agent Johnson is in pursuit. I'm going with some of the local guys and a few huskies."
"Right behind you." answered Tasha. She turned to Vinny. "Sorry to interrupt our conversation. I'll be back. This will give you more time to remember things." She gave another tooth-bearing grin and hurried out.

No point floating around in a daffy daze in the tank, Charlotte thought, as she and Naomi went far enough into the newly opened tunnel to hide from the bad guys. Umm, looked like Naomi might be ready for round two.

Zack had insisted on coming along with the cops, as Harry might be at the facility. He had pressed Goldie and Sam into service. The two were seated together in the personnel carrier, Sam comforting Goldie, who had clearly been shaken up by the encounter with Max. The local cops and Agent Sherman looked somewhat askance at the two, but were mostly focused on preparing for an assault against armed jaguarmorphs. Tasha, coming from the Park after ordering that Gunther be held till she got back, was in the second vehicle with more huskies and agents.
So, on their way to the transformation facility were:
Johnson, alone
Zack, Agent Sherman, Goldie, Sam, and local cops
Agent Yereminiva, huskies, and FBI agents.
