Lim- Senses and Speech

"No," said Lim, through his suit. His voice sounded the way good chocolate tasted when fed to a baby inside of a mechanical spider-kangaroo who was using a voice synthesizer. "But my Taranturoo does."

Lim Lau was proud of himself. He was the most evolved human on the planet and was as perfect as perfect could be. He understood why everyone was jealous of him. It was very hard for lesser people to see someone who was better than they ever could be from the start. It must have been unbearable for them, so he had already resolved not to hold it against them.

He was not insecure about anything. And anyone who thought that only did because they were not as smart as he was.

"Does it hurt?" asked Keerthi. "All those wires look like they're making your little face scrunch up."

"No," said Lim, who had no problem taking the time to explain how his Taranturoo suit worked. He made sure to talk slowly so all the less advanced children could follow along. "Right now, my central nervous system can only feel what my Taranturoo body does. I hear with his ears and see with his eyes."

"Wow," said Keerthi. "You are a smart baby."

"Yes," said Lim. "I am."
