The corridor turned and Gwen tromped down a narrow stairway. The great room she entered had a bar off to one side. On the opposite side was a desk. She by passed both to walk straight to the door that went outside.
Memory flooded her mind when she stepped outside. Gwen was from the planet Remis, or that was what other’s called her world. She was Cremin, a people who turned into wolfish beasts by the full moon of Remis. This was the way of things until an out-world came with the nano technology. Then her people the Cremin could take their left palm and just touch the right forearm to induce the change. That didn't matter she needed to find her people.
Looking from her left to her right, she looked for a rough stone building, which was where she needed to be. She saw it to her left, she turned from the doorway starting toward the building. When she got there, she would, with others, try to get off the prison planet.
A few buildings in front of her, she spied the stone building, in front stood a man. ‘He must be standing guard.’ she thought.
Approaching him, she readied her left hand; nothing was going to take her off guard this time.
“May I enter?” She asked.
He lifted his left arm moving his right into position. “You may enter if you prove you are Cremin.”
She did, morphing into her animal self, and then he let her pass.
