Arlow Tsai is a great guy (really). Around the time space aliens became known to the human race, Arlow was informed about something strange. Copies of him were appearing around the multiverse. When he found out that he was in line for huge inherit...
Ami has been focused on her patient (the staff of her organization known as 'victim'), and since that young Lan is showing positive signs; Ami has no longer been up late at night (crafting unique new system searches).
This change in her mood allowed Ami to spend a pleasant night in bed with all three of her belongers. Ami just slept and tussled gently among the pillows, with occasional dozing hugs from others.
She eventually keeps to her planned schedule. Today Ami would visit 'victim' on Planet Wroug.
Two Lans arrive to transport her directly to the interior of the apartment. They leave and Ami finds no one there. A rustle in the room where 'victim' stays, prompts Ami to ask at the door.
Going in, she sees 'victim' in feminine form. In a motionless pose and looking at the mirror.
'I cannot tell you how difficult it is to hold this pose as male. The hips just do not have the same range of motion. The character is supposed to walk up from behind and see the other character reading. This position shows nervousness that becomes shock.'
"Victim" turns and stands before Ami. Then drops to knees and hugs her.
'Thank You Thank You. I have not had such a clear head like this, not reliably, for so long. I have not used the data connector much. I discovered your secret. How it is that you have crafted my cure.'
Ami looks and shuffles. Has her un-think scenario happened?
"Victim" says: "You gave me your childhood. Recreated it, here for me. I am so grateful. I did not feel I deserved any forgiveness."
Ami smiles and pats the head. Secretly happy the secret is still hidden. Such a radiant face on the Lan to go with a hug laced with happy trembles.
Ami leaves the room and closes the door. Waiting a bit to hear the practicing of lines and positions.
As she heads to leave, she becomes aware. There is no one else here. Just like that night. That night she left an apartment just like this one. Leaving to get help on that night, get security.
The walls seem dark and crushing. Ami gets to the main door.
One hand holds flat to the door to steady her. She shakily grasps her interface pad.
She calls "Good Friend": "H.Hey. I.I. want you to hire a security team... Protect y.your friend. Don't l.l.let him know."
"Good Friend": "Uhh Sure. Uhm. Ami are you all right?"
Ami: "I.I.It would devastate... completely crushing.. so.o happy now. but.. If something bad happened. Please just do it, please."
Ami ends the communication. Darkness is pressing in, she has to get out.
She opens the door and collapses in the doorway. Bended knees. She is vaguely conscious, but not lucid.
Ami does not notice the active energy field right in front of the door. Unstable and ragged at times, the energy field would have been right where a normal Wroug person would have been.
Hustling out a door any usual Wroug would have been right there.
The field shifts down the walkway and then comes back a bit closer to the wall and door way. Small bits of vegetation and dust get kicked into the air.
Close, but not too close, the energy field stops and vanishes.
A Lan appears. He wears a black suit with sunglasses. He recognizes Ami right away, and he uses data collection systems in his hand. There was turbulence is the air just as he arrived. He was not hired to protect Ami, it is shadow team protection of someone else. This was supposed to be a simple site survey.
He contacts his business and requests a team of six for immediate site analysis. Lan security experts are not comfortable on Planet Wroug. Diligence is called for.
Ami becomes a bit aware, but is too shaken to move. She mutters 'I am on Wroug. In daylight, with bended knees. Bad. This is bad.'
He then contacts a secure escort team. Two elLans in black dress suits and sunglasses arrive and take Ami to a very, very secure place on the Lan home world.
The Lan remains long enough to complete his survey and expects to return soon and find how the remote investigation is going.
