"So, do you have a plan on how to get me out of here?" Eytelis. "I may have been acting the part of that bitchs assistant, but the guards still had orders not to let me leave the premises."
"Apparently, there's a transport that connects directly from the mansion to the docking bay. Any idea where it's located?" Adam asked.
"Sure, I mean it's the way they brought me here when I first arrived; I guess they didn't want too many people seeing me," Eytelis replied before indicating for Adam to follow her as she left the room.
"You know that people will get suspicious if we arrive via that bitch's private transport without a reason," Eytelis remarked as she led Adam down towards a basement.
"My ship's AI will handle that," Adam replied before thinking for a moment and saying, "Still, it might be a good idea to get you a disguise."
"There are guards posted at the transport station," Eytelis explained.
"That'll work; just make sure not to disintegrate them," Adam said with a smirk.
"Oh, come on, I'm not that bad," Eytelis pouted. "I'll be sure to stun them before stealing their clothes."
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Why not kill them and then steal their clothes?
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): Probably because a stun shot doesn't do any damage to the clothes, whereas a kill shot would burn a hole in them, making her stand out.]
Adam nodded before asking. "How many guards should we expect?"
"Well, there were two on duty when I arrived, but I have no idea if that's the normal amount," Eytelis replied. "But taking the stairs should give us the drop on them."
"What do you mean?" Adam asked.
"Because of the size of some of the items that are sent over from the docking bay, there is an elevator which is more commonly used. The guards were standing guard in front of that when I arrived," Eytelis explained.
"I guess that makes sense," Adam replied.
"We're here," Eytelis stated as they reached the bottom of the stairs before she carefully opened the door slightly and peeked through the gap.
"Hmm, I only see one by the elevator," Eytelis stated in a hushed voice.
"Hmm," Adam replied before asking, "Spector, is there a security feed for down here?"
[[Afirmative.]]
After Spector replied, a holographic screen appeared above his uniband while the stream switched to show the security feed beyond the door.
As Eytelis had stated, one guard stood beside an elevator; however, the security feed also showed a second guard patrolling between the elevator and a hover transport, which was parked next to a boarding platform.
"Looks like there were two after all," Eytelis remarked as she watched the feed on the holographic screen.
"Which one do you want?" Adam asked.
"I'll take the one near the transport," Eytelis replied.
Adam nodded while taking out his force staff before asking, "Ready?"
Eytelis raised her blaster and smiled while saying, "Ready."
"Go!" Adam said before he flung the door open, and the pair dashed through before separating.
Both guards jumped at the sound of the door slamming open and turned in its direction, only to see a fellow guard and a woman they recognised as Nogiss dashing through the door.
Before either of them had the chance to register that the pair were carrying weapons, Adam and Eytelis raised them and fired.
A blue bolt of energy shot out from each weapon and impacted the guards in the chest, causing them to collapse unconscious.
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Not bad.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): Agreed. Eytelis moved with purpose and efficiency and completed her task well.]
"Good job," Adam said after seeing that both guards were taken care of.
"Hehe," Eytelis giggled proudly before she walked over to the guard she had just stunned and examined him.
After giving him a once-over, she shook her head before moving to the guard near the elevator, after which she cursed, "Shit!"
"What's wrong?" Adam asked.
"Both guards are male," Eytelis explained.
"So? Both genders wore the same uniform," Adam replied.
"I know, but I don't want to be wearing some random guy's clothing," Eytelis replied before winking at Adam and adding in a flirtatious tone. "In fact, the only man's clothing I want to wear is yours."
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): I bet she would look hot in nothing but her, the streamer's t-shirt.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): On this I can't disagree.]
[OfficialLorelie (Spector): Is that a thing on Earth?]
[CEOHopkins (Spector): It can be. In the past, I've been known to make coffee for my exes while wearing his T-shirt.]
[OfficialRowena (Spector): Hmm, that's an interesting idea.]
Adam rolled his eyes before walking away while saying, "Just get changed."
"Fine," Eytelis replied with a pout before she started to get changed.
He walked over to the hover transport and waited beside it for a couple of minutes before Eytelis walked over.
"Ready," Eytelis said as she came over while wearing the guard's uniform.
Adam gave her a quick once-over before saying, "See, you managed to fit in it fine."
"Only because I changed my proportions to fit in them," Eytelis replied before adding with a pout. "And that was never the issue."
"Change your proportions?" Adam asked in confusion.
"I'm able to alter certain proportions of my body," Eytelis explained. "Didn't you notice how my breasts got smaller?"
[Justiceistruth (Earth): She can change the size of her tits?]
"Can't say I did," Adam replied.
"Way to make a girl feel special," Eytelis pouted.
"Is that how you managed to fit all the data drives within you?" Adam asked curiously.
"That's correct," Eytelis explained. "Since we Dryads are not made of skin and bones, we can alter our bodies in different ways. Though admittedly we can't do it anywhere near as well as the Eidolons."
"Eidolons?" Adam repeated as he stepped onto the hover transport.
"You've never heard of them?" Eytelis asked in surprise as she followed Adam.
"Can't say I have," Adam replied before asking. "Spector, can you get this thing moving, please?"
[[Affirmative.]
After Spector responded, the hover transport hatch closed before it started to move away from the boarding platform.
"They are an interesting race that is capable of mimicking the appearance of other individuals," Eytelis explained.
"Wait, when you say mimic, what exactly do you mean?" Adam asked in surprise.
"Exactly what it sounds like," Eytelis began to explain. "As long as they are humanoid and of the same gender, Eidolons can mimic an individual exactly, even their tone of voice."
[SciFifanboy (Earth): That is so Sci-Fi.]
[Animefangirl (Earth): That is so Anime.]
"That's crazy. I can't believe there is actually a race like that in the universe," Adam remarked.
"Hehe, there are far stranger races than that out there," Eytelis said with a giggle.
"So how is what you do different from what the Eidolons do?" Adam asked.
"Well, as I said, the only restrictions the Eidolons have are that the one they mimic must be humanoid and must be of the same gender.
On the other hand, I can freely alter and rearrange my internals; however, I can only slightly alter my external body, as I'm limited to my true form and this form," Eytelis explained.
"So like making your breasts slightly bigger or smaller?" Adam asked.
"Basically," Eytelis nodded. "While I can only slightly alter the size and shape of my breasts or ass, an Eidolon could perfectly copy Supreme Speaker Viven Agilehand's breasts or Diva Rowena's ass."
[OfficialRowena (Spector): Don't get any funny ideas, babe.]
[LadyErkath (Aqua Primus): What's this? Worried Adam might get the idea of inviting an Eidolon to the harem so that he can have two of you?]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Flag.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): That was a flag, wasn't it?]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): That was totally a flag.]
"Can they only mimic one person at a time, or can they combine different aspects of individuals?" Adam asked.
"That's dependent on the Eidolons' age," Eytelis replied. "The older they are, the more skilled they become."

"Hustle, you bastards, hustle. We've got deadlines to meet," Husan ordered the docking bay workers as they rushed around.
"Has anyone found Sruss yet?" Husan asked.
"No, boss, still no sign of him," One of the dockworkers replied.
"Where is that bastard? Is he skipping out on work again?" Husan complained.
As he was complaining, Husan suddenly received a notification on his uniband that made him frown.
"What's up, boss?" One of the dockworkers asked as they saw the look on his face.
"I just got a notification from the big boss's mansion. Apparently, a shuttle is approaching that we need to load several containers onto," Husan replied.
"Seriously?" The dockworker asked in surprise. "I thought that dickhead Senator's shuttle was the only one scheduled for today?"
"It was, and to make matters even stranger, the boss is sending a couple of guards to oversee the whole transfer," Husan answered.
"Why is that strange? We normally have some guards keeping an eye on us when we transfer dangerous and high-value products," The dockworker asked.
