Prior, this specimen had supposedly been able only to mimic voices. Now, it was clear that it was able to mimic forms, and it had achieved its initial purpose of being able to control electronics for users. It just seemed in this case that the user was the specimen itself. Curious.<br/><br/>Graham pulled out his pen and notepad and idly jotted down a few notes, using various forms of personal shorthand. Translations would be hard for anyone other than him - he himself had come up with such a system when in his undergrad program, perfecting it during his graduate program. It allowed him a higher degree of efficiency in notating complex thoughts. As he wrote, he made a split second decision - contact meant physical.
