When I came here I was a little scratched up, but all the injuries are gone. What kind of medical treatment are they giving us?

Also, why bother? I was hurt, but it wouldn't have been a problem. It's different for my fr It's not like I was half-dead; just a little burned and bruised, that's all.

I didn't know that kind of thing went on.

Still, it suggests that you're not being transferred into someone else's body. What's the chance they'd have a host on hand who looked like you? If they are transferring consciousnesses, it's fair to assume you have an artificial, if biological, body.

I heard of a project to develop something similar to that going on in the Soviet Union, but, last I heard, it was scrapped.

Such modifications are commonplace for my species.

It's possible that they used a genetic sample from my original body, or customised the DNA of this body to look like what they wanted. Considering the technology apparently at their disposal, I wouldn't be surprised if they were capable of this.

What's the Soviet Union?

Are you an alien too?

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Yes, actually. I'm Coluan, though I don't suspect you're familiar with my people. Not many here are.

More aliens? Damn. How far reaching are they?

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Considering I'm from the thirty-first century and the location I was in was quite some distance from Earth, I would say their range is extensive.

Thirty-first century?

So that's what my friend meant when he told me that there were people from other times here.

This is insane. They've got to have something serious planned if they're going to all this trouble. Someone has to stop them.

Oh? It occurred to you just now that they need to be stopped? Fortunate you were on hand to tell me this fact; even with my considerable intellect, I might have had difficulty figuring it out for myself.
