Asleep, the young woman's soft face was a wonder of nature, her pale, albeit faintly grayish complexion glistening like diamond dust in the dimness of the man-made cavern.

The genetic and Aetheric material extracted from their victims formed a subconscious database that they could instinctively recombine to achieve various evolutions. Only when their mind was set would the mutation finally take place.
