"So, how did you enjoy the dual corporeal experience? Were you satisfied this time? We have much work to do," asked L-14's production partner unit. "Can we please abandon this folly of meddling in these Terran life-forms? Their bodies felling life trying to fly in mud."
She was not happy on this assignment, but what else is a sentient power to do besides work? Some entertainment was called for occasionally. Besides the value of new neural connections, and the learning experience, it simply felt pleasant to remember the sensation of sun on the skin. "I truly appreciate the added flavor of a dual human experience, dear one. Such thoughtfulness as yours does make the life of an Influencor better. I'm fortunate to be assigned with you."
You suddenly realize, just one more year of maintenance for these slow, primitive human minds, and the species may well end up being the next to avoid the nuclear threshold scenario, which so often wipes other worlds. If successful, this would make the third civilization both L-14 and Wv-768 had led towards the community.
