Chapter 21

• As I approached the transport, I was wondering if the hatch watch would give me any hassle about bringing the Tryxlfem aboard. Before I realized what was going on, Tryxie was down on all fours pissing into a drain. She shrunk to about two sizes smaller as I watched and when she was through, she ran out in front of me on all fours, bouncing around like an excited puppy. She stayed in that configuration as we approached the transport and as we entered, the hatch watch asked what it was.
• "I think it's some kind of Procyonese canine," I said, thinking to myself if he doesn't know, I'm not going to tell him. "Won her in a poker game."
• "Must be a mixed breed," he said. "I've never seen one like that."
