Light Chameleon: Part Final
“Loretta, isn’t it time for those temperature checks Dad wants?” Sam shook her by both shoulders of her multipurpose suit. “Loretta? Where’s the scanner?”The glinting walls that surrounded them crowded into her vision until she could almost feel the points of ice. When she tried to turn her head, she couldn’t look at her cousin.“The inner pocket,” she managed. “Be careful. Temperature may have damaged it.”Sam fumbled for the scanner, and she heard the crinkle of chemically-engineered insulation.

Julius slowly opened his eyes, the blue becomiwww.onedoor.ccng more vivid as he peered through his eyelashes. All was still, everything silent except for the low hum of a generator. Fighting through the thick gel as he tilted his head up, Julius found himself staring at three metallic orbs, emitting light through multiple holes in its exterior and drifting on their own above him. He turned back to gaze through the bright blu...
