You seemed surprised that I squashed that
rail in the stairwell. Why? Am I ahead of schedule or something?"
Nodding, she said, "It would seem so. A little, anyway."
"Why would that be?"
Mandi shrugged. "Your system is accepting conversion easily and you're
having sex with Beth."
"What does sex have to do with it?"
Filching his tomato slice, she said, "All human bodily functions are closely
tied to the reproductive system. Stir things up and the process can speed up
considerably."
"Speed up only, or also enhance the process? Could I wind up being a bit
more... 'super'... at the other end?"
"Yes, you could. Others have, for the same reason."
With a nod, Cade met her gaze and asked, "Do you want optimum conversion, or
would plain old average do?"
"Optimum would be nice, of course."
Cade sliced off a chunk of meat and ate it, then said, "I think so, too,
also of course. There's nothing quite like knowing your support people are as
good as they can possibly be. Beth is good for another few hours, then she'll
leave for D.C. or I'll become too much for her. Doesn't matter which; that'll be
the end of it.
