Having been sent the job of scout, Caufman immediately swung into action. "I'll look out ahead and keep them company. If they're caught or I find the data, then I'll alert you." He didn't wait for an answer. His vision was already sharper, the world suddenly devoid of color. His human's eyes were now mere slits, and he could feel his stomach lurch, his muscles tense up as he lost feeling in his arms and legs. Growing less and less humanoid by the second, he fell to the ground and his dried up skin hardened into scales, his body shrinking and his limbs rotting into useless nubs. They soon merged into the rest of him altogether. Caufman's head flattened out and venom pooled through his fangs, his tongue forked as he slid over his tumbled clothing and began sweeping over the floor, no longer a boy but a reptile; A snake.
The whole transformation hurt like hell with the bandage, which had thankfully fallen off with his clothing. Caufman could feel his left side burning much like his arm had before; A side effect from the injection earlier. A low hiss rattled from his throat, but he tried to ignore it, tried to feel nothing as the sore rubbed painfully over the solid ground.
Still, as he had promised, he moved quickly. He soon disappeared inside the simulation entrance, and winked out of sight.
