from outside the tank Amy heard a mechanical voice saying "deconstruction complete, preparing to begin reconstruction." and calmed.
This was apparently supposed to happen. that was good. she thought. Allowing her panic to subside believing the main problem past, she began exploring her new form. other than, for lack of a better term, being able to 'feel' light and sound pass through her liquid mass, allowing her to see and hear, but she had no real control of anything. her form was too watery to control.
How long was the machine going to take? She thought, feeling the return of her worry that the wire had been something... "Error. Unable to apply template for reintegration, Equipment failure: no immager connected." ...important. With the return of the mechanical voice and it's message the panic returned. If by template it meant rouge's body shape, did this mean it couldn't give her back a shape? ANY shape? was she stuck like this?
"Atempting to reintegrate without template, stand by." what the heck did that mean? reintegrate into WHAT?
as the machine worked Amy was to busy panicking to realize she was actually moving her watery form, her control of it growing by the second. It had gotten thicker, now more the consistency of molasses, and with enough surface tension to hold itself in a single mass. her color was much more uniform as well having gotten stirred around enough to be an even pink color all the way through.
"Partial reintegration complete" the mechanical voice said, as the chamber began to unlock. No! don't open! I'll spill everywhere and this will never get fixed! the former hedgehog's addled mind thought, watching in horror as the hatch opened, and...
nothing happened.
That was when she noticed, she was still a melted pool of liquid, but it was flowing away from the door in defiance of gravity. Relaxing, the pool stopped and slowly spread out of the chamber, rekindling her panic and causing it to flow inward again. The cycle would repeat three or four times before Amy realized it was happening because she didn't want to flow out of the capsule. it was like tensing a muscle, she could pull herself in a certain direction.
I'm.. I'm doing that? She realized beginning to experiment with making her liquid self move around.
