I was just about to dive for a robotic mouse when Trainer Adam signalled for us to return to human form. I flapped my wings rapidly to level myself out and flew towards staging area where he stood. I landed carefully in front of him, ruffled my feathers, then directed all of my focus, all of my energy, inwards. I pictured the immeasurable lengths of genetic information that dictated my form, then slowly but assuredly began to shift them. Feet, not claws; arms, not wings; hair, not feathers; human, not bird. My entire body buzzed painfully, and for a terrifying moment I was shapeless mass of purposeless swirling cells; then everything fell into place and I was whole once more, human now. Trainer Adam handed me a robe, and smiled. "You did well today, Lilith," he said as several of the birds who gathered around us began to quiver and Shift, "You may leave the Training Facility."<br/><br/>I thanked him, left the cavernous Main Training Arena where we had spent the day improving our agility while in peregrine falcon form, and entered the changing room, where I donned my clothing and collected AIDA. She flitted along beside me as I exited the Training Facility, swiping my hand across the sensors so that they could read my identification code and log me out of their system as I went. I soon arrived at my residential building, and took the lift to my floor.<br/><br/>I was discussing the inefficiencies of the gasoline powered vehicles used by the ancients with AIDA when I first noticed it; all along the hallway the residency monitors beside each door glowed green, signalling that the apartments were secure, but far up ahead one was blinking red. I hurried towards it, growing increasingly disturbed. My vocabulary failed me when I reached it and realized that it was own residency; I was more than uncomfortable, more than disturbed, but I didn't know any word stronger. The door was hanging open. "What does this mean, AIDA?" I asked, struggling to understand. She flew inside slowly and returned a minute later. She was silent for a moment, then she said, "None of your possessions are missing, so I have come to the conclusion that someone was searching for you."
