The Price of Sight

[Das Wilde Wesen]

*Enriquehuman* is sleeping. Slowly *we* stood, careful to keep it's mind from resurfacing. *Enriquehuman* would become useless once it achieved realisation. Carefully *we* stand, plucking a knife from the bed-side table. *We* pocket it and unlock the door, leaving and heading down towards the engineering decks.

*We* know *Femalehuman* follows us, so *we* head deep into the less frequented levels. *We* know it pays *us* too much interest. Now *we*wait, standing still with *our* hands wrapped around the knife hidden in *our* pocket.

A few moments later *Femalehuman* arrives. *We* turn to face her, and reveal *our* true form. *Femalehuman* screams as it sees the purple light emitted from *our* eyes and scrabbles for the gun at it's hip. *We* employ knowledge of force and momentum to send the knife winging into it's chest. It falls back against the wall, *lifeforce* pouring from the wound.

*We* remember how *Enriquehuman* addressed *Femalehuman*. "No mercy... Hermana" *we* murmer. It gurgles, so *we* reach down to snap it's neck.

*Enriquehuman* is waking. Slowly *we* withdraw, allowing *Enriquehuman* to Regain control.
