Henry’s new body is powerful and strong, but there are remnants of Leila’s mind that hunger for Darren Vaughn. Even as he carries out his mission, undermining the rebel colony of Stofdorp by exfiltrating the leaders one by one, his thoughts are consumed with Darren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henry must put aside the needs of his body for the sake of the mission, hunting each leader down and carrying them out of the colony along a secret route. He carries with him the knowledge that succeeding in his mission will destroy his relationship with Vaughn. He can’t fight the needs of his sensual body entirely, but maybe he can sate them enough to do what he has to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Henry and Darren arrived together at the great hall for breakfast. Councilor Charlotte, overseer of propaganda and civil cohesion, was already seated with a sour look on her face. Her thin lips pressed even more firmly together as they approached. She was once again in her black and blue robes. Her grey hair meticulously styled up in a fanciful bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henry, in Leila\u2019s form and taking on her role as Darren\u2019s bodyguard, nodded stiffly to Charlotte and sat beside Darren. He\u2019d been given a change of clothes, tailored to his build, from one of the particle replicators. It was a sleek black jumpsuit that clung loosely to his body but allowed for a range of movement. They\u2019d returned his plasma knife and he kept it in a sheath about his waist. In the few short days Henry had been in Leila\u2019s body, he\u2019d adjusted to her close quarters combat preferences. With her reach, agility and strength, she was a formidable opponent. And now Henry had that power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henry took his cue from Darren and the hours of footage he\u2019d watched prior to the mission. When others were around, Darren and Leila hid their feelings. Henry maintained a professional relationship as Darren\u2019s personal bodyguard. No one would have known that Darren and Henry had spent an intimate night together just from looking at them. Though, no doubt, the rumors would have spread if someone saw Darren leaving Henry\u2019s quarters last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three other members of the Stofdorp High Council\u2014Brian Townley, Will Thomson and Isaac Holt\u2014trickled in for breakfast. The Councilors held their meeting as they ate, Darren presiding over the others as they read off field reports and discussed the minutiae of governing. Henry absorbed as much as he could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrain production is up eight percent overall this month,\u201d Isaac\u2014the agricultural strategist\u2014said, reading from a handheld tablet, his arthritis-ridden fingers awkwardly tapping the screen. \u201cIf this keeps up we\u2019ll no longer need resupply on a monthly basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian\u2014the biogeneticist specialist\u2014broke in, rubbing his hands nervously together, \u201cThe new strain grows fifteen percent faster and is more nutritionally dense as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood,\u201d Darren nodded. \u201cI want Stofdorp to be completely independent. It\u2019s only a matter of time before the UN discovers the drops and puts an end to them so they can starve us out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He turned to Charlotte. \u201cAnd what have we learned from yesterday\u2019s attempted assassin?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte glanced quickly at Henry before speaking. It appeared she still didn\u2019t trust him. \u201cHe\u2019s cracking. We believe there may be others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course there are,\u201d Darren growled. \u201cHe didn\u2019t get in here on his own. You\u2019re not harming his body, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Charlotte replied with a slight smile. \u201cMind knifing is delicate work but sometimes leaves a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s fine,\u201d Darren said. \u201cHe was a young man. Seemed fit. When you\u2019re done with him give his body to someone who needs it. Perhaps Isaac here would prefer it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat would be most welcome,\u201d Isaac agreed. Surgery had made his face seemed boyishly youthful, but the age spots on his skin and his wrinkled fingers belied his true age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake sure the spy sees what you\u2019ve done,\u201d Darren said to Charlotte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac smiled cruelly. \u201cI shall twist the final mind knife myself so he can see his death is by his own hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte must have caught a micro expression from Henry because she turned to him and frowned. \u201cYou disapprove?\u201d Henry could sense her bionic eye examining him, studying his pulse, his breathing, his heat markers. Did she have Leila\u2019s original readings in there? Would she see a difference with Henry\u2019s mind inside?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt seems\u2026needlessly cruel. And a waste of time,\u201d Henry said levelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLeila,\u201d Darren said, looking at him. \u201cThings have changed since you\u2019ve been away. We must set an example of anyone who acts against us lest they cause others to question us. It is, unfortunately, a necessity in our current precarious state. When we have taken Salopia and are no longer threatened by the UN, then we can afford to relax.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the first Henry had heard of Darren\u2019s plans to take Salopia and he kept his face carefully neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they finished eating, Henry was given a small vidscreen that fastened around his forearm. With it, he had as much access to the colony\u2019s files as Darren allowed. Will led Darren and Henry out of the Council facility for a tour of the new mines. Henry got his first real look at Stofdorp from the steps of the council facility. The colony was in a wide valley carved out of the crust of Triton and walled with tarnished metal plating that rose up about twenty stories to the roof. A ceiling enclosed the colony and protected it from the harsh weather on the moon\u2019s surface. Inset into the ceiling was a series of lights that mimicked a sun and gave everything a harsh, slightly bluish glow. The mining facility sat at the end of a wide road that led down through the valley. From the vantage point on the steps Henry could see all the way to the other side and the entrance he\u2019d come in through just the night before. In between were all manner of domes and towers and markets and fields, all filled with people going about their daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trio took an aircar\u2014the only one Henry had seen in the colony\u2014and flew slowly over the valley. Darren pointed out a few of the sights for Henry\u2019s benefit: a heavily guarded boxy structure that stored weapons, several connected domes where agricultural or weapons research was conducted, the domes containing the animal pens, the training grounds where a few heavily armed soldiers held firing exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mine entrance Will was referring to was not the same one Henry had used to enter Stofdorp but a huge gate on the opposite side of the valley. It had been carved out of the crust, solid steel doors opening to reveal an airlock and another set of huge steel doors. As the aircar landed, the gargantuan doors squealed open and a huge six-wheeled hopper carrying a load of ore trundled out, heading towards the nearby processing facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will hopped out and was eager to show off his operations. Smaller and stouter, Will had to take two steps for every one of Henry\u2019s but seemed no less energetic for it. With a hearty laugh, he bragged about the improved destructive capabilities they were able to achieve by extracting the nitrogen from the moon\u2019s crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
