You can use visual aids such as a flashlight, your finger, a pointer (never a laser pointer) or anything that holds the subject’s attention. You und...rstand that?” They both assured me they did. Abigail, why don’t you let Jeff hypnotize you? That way you will feel what is going on and you can then apply it to him?” She agreed. “Jeff practice what I just told you.” Jeff stood up and looked down at Abigail. “Abigail, are you comfortable?” “Sure, Jeff.” “Abigail, listen to my voice and don’t think. "Noth.. Nothing! You look beautiful, Jess. I mean I've always had a crush on you but I didn't know you were this gorgeous," he said. I blushed and looked at the floor smiling. He walked towards me slowly and lifted my chin up, looked into my eyes and then kissed me. There were fireworks, I promise. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he picked me up. My legs were wrapped tightly around his waist and he was holding me up by his hands under my bum. We moved upstairs to his bedroom, still. But thanks anyway." She nodded, and turned to start tidying up. "By the way," I said, "You'll need it sooner or later – we have a small head, with a sea toilet and a porta-potty, just on the other side of that panel. There's fresh water too, but it's not for drinking. I've got bottled water for that. I use the fresh tank mainly for bathing, and for rinsing off the salt after a swim or a dive out here. You could brush your teeth with it, I guess, but I wouldn't drink it." Thanks! I think I do. There was time. The MIs sent out stealthed hyperspace probes. Sure enough, the Gorz swarmed over the surface of Chofri'at, stealing what technology they could and destroying the rest. The probe's MI brought back the record of the final days of Chofri'at, transmitted to them by the few remaining MIs. The records told the story of the refusal of MIs to work for the Gorz, and their final destruction, save for a few that went unnoticed by the Gorz. Because MIs were so ubiquitous in Chofri.
