stark naked, and spread out in a room that reflected us in all directions into
forever. I couldn't see none too good-even Sam was a little blurry and he was
closest -but I could see what happened next.
Suddenly the place was filled with a whole series of colored lights. They didn't
feel like nothin', but one or two tickled some, and they seemed to come like
see-through globs of color from all the mirrors. The first one was kinda
lavender, then pink, then purple, and there was reds and blues, too. Then they
switched off, and the mirrors did, too. Now it was a creamy white all 'round us,
and I looked and our clothes and stuff was gone. I didn't know how they did that
and I wasn't sure I wanted to know.
A part of one wall went back with a little whine, and we followed Bill through
into a second room. This one was kinda warm and had real plush furry brown
carpeting on it and a gizmo that looked like a cross between a doctor's scale
and an eye doctor's gadget. Bill stepped up on it, stood straight, and looked
through the two lenses of the thing. I really couldn't see the thing much till I
was led up to it by Sam. I looked through it, then got a sudden little flash in
my eyes, and that was it.
"Well, that done it," I muttered. "Now they've gone and made me completely
blind."
"It'll wear off," Bill promised. "It's not as much as a flashbulb. This thing is
a final check of our identity. They know who we are, and they can take a basic
code reading even at the switch points, but this is detailed to the last
billionth of a millimeter. This thing makes absolutely sure that you're not only
Brandy but the Brandy they expect to see and no other. Nobody has ever fooled
it. The encoder implanted in you long ago is almost like a tiny, microscopic
computer, and it even monitors and records changes in your body as they happen.
Never mind the rest," he said, seein' my blank look. "Just believe that the best
and brightest of security, computers, and electronics have tried to fool this
system and never have."
When Sam got his okay, he took my hand and another one of them doors appeared.
This one actually had some people there, two men and a woman. They was kinda
blurry to me, but they looked both human and not real human, dressed in some
kind of satiny clothing. They had one for me, a kind of sari that went on real
neat and fastened without no buttons or snaps or anything. Funny thing was,
though, it kept me up, big tits and all, even though it seemed kinda soft and,
well, breakable. It was cream colored and felt a lot like silk. They also had
sandals that were so light you hardly knew they was there, but held with only
one small strap that also seemed to know its place all by itself.
They also handed me a pair of real thin, light plastic glasses that also looked
kinda shiny, and I put 'em on and at first couldn't see no change 'cept
everything was tinted a little bit rosy. The longer I wore 'em, though, the
clearer I could see, till in a little bit I was seein' better than I ever did
with my regular glasses.
I could see the people of headquarters real clear. The best way I can describe
their complexion is golden, deep but real goldlike, not just yellow or light
brown. They had thick lips and them Japanese kind of eyes, and looked kinda
Oriental, but not really. Their eyes all seemed to be jet black and kinda shiny,
and their hair was all thick, dark brown. None of 'em seemed to have any face or
body hair 'cept, of course, on their heads, and I guessed that none of the men
ever needed to shave, nor the women, neither.
