Station Of Seers : 13
In the gestation chambers of Kalonia, it was Malorye who supervised the generation of the new body for he was not only a gardener of plants but a gardener of people. Long ages before the Season Of Innocence artilects had known how to culture a body without a womb and without a mind. It was a skill which had been refined and streamlined over the millennia by the Guardians Of Earth and passed to their successors so that the body the seers now grew took only six weeks in its oh so subtle chemical vat to reach adult maturity.
Now came the time to practice a second and more difficult set of skills; an operation where Tenereck, Malorye and Hirrilow were all required to exercise careful co-operation. After three slow and painstaking hours it was done. Crinomu had been decanted from the vurtiverse into the new body and he was ready to join the Embassy to the Substrate.
