"We have been designed to be more slender. It helps us reach into panels and equipment." She paused. Was her answer sufficient? She waited for a sign from the man, waited to see if he had any other questions.

She was curious just what his particular angle was, and what it had to do with finding form within the void, if it was connected at all. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message brought to you by the HG-PBEM "OVERDRIVE" mailing list. http://www.bluething.org/overdrive/
