Chapter 12: A Thief in the Shadows
[SYSTEM: Warning. Host is under pursuit. Activating Ood DNA for psychic shield. Recommended action: avoid close contact with the pursuers.]
[Location – A Modern City, London]
The city was a blur of sound and light, a chaotic symphony of human life. But for Adam, it was just a maze. He ran, his heart pounding in his chest, the sound of Saibra's agents' footsteps echoing behind him. They were good. Too good. They were not just chasing him; they were herding him.
"I'm not a person. I'm a thief. I'm a lie." The words of the gas cloud and Saibra echoed in his mind, a constant, cruel refrain.
He focused. He had to think. He couldn't just run. He had to fight back. He felt the familiar hum of his Ood DNA, the gentle, telepathic pulse. He had used it to shield himself from Lydia's psychic probe, and he could use it again.
He closed his eyes for a split second, and he sent out a mental burst of energy, a psychic wave that was like a sonic boom. The agents behind him cried out, clutching their heads, and Adam used the moment of confusion to duck into an alleyway.
But it wasn't enough. They were on him in a second, their footsteps now a quiet, determined shuffle. He was trapped. He was cornered. And he was about to die.
[Location – An Alleyway]
The agents surrounded him, their faces grim, their hands on their weapons. Saibra stood in the front, her face a mask of cold, professional finality.
"It's over, Adam," she said, her voice a soft command. "Come with us. You're too dangerous to be left alone."
Adam looked at her, and in that moment, something inside him snapped. He wasn't a thief. He wasn't a lie. He was a person. He had a choice.
He closed his eyes, and he thought of something, anything, to mimic. He couldn't mimic the humans around him; that was the source of all his trouble. He couldn't mimic a machine. He had to find something else. Something alien.
He focused on the Zygon DNA, the DNA he had absorbed at the start of his journey, a silent, dormant power that he had yet to use. He willed it to activate, not just a physical mimicry, but a full, permanent absorption. A change he could not undo.
[SYSTEM: Warning. The user is attempting to activate Zygon DNA. This species is not on the user's list. Warning: The user is attempting a permanent change. This is a highly dangerous maneuver. The risk of death is 99%. Do you wish to proceed? Yes/No.]
Yes.
A new sensation, a cold, wet feeling, flooded his body. His bones cracked and shifted, his skin rippled and changed, and a terrible, exhilarating power coursed through his veins. He felt the Zygon's raw, shapeshifting power, a primal, untamed force that was so different from the controlled mimicry of his System.
He opened his eyes, and he wasn't human. He was a Zygon. A perfect copy, down to the smallest detail. But he wasn't a lie. He was a new kind of truth.
The agents cried out in shock, and Adam, in his new form, a perfect copy of the man he had been, simply walked past them. He was not a person. He was not a thief. He was a new kind of power. And he had a new home to find. A Zygon safehouse.
