ID4/Well World: Lest Alterations Be Forgot [Episode 214706]

by Kestral

The people had been shuffled around. Mental typecasting went on, and those who had fit most a particular type were placed with that type even if they were surrounded by others who fit another type. The aliens simply moved the people and then altered them to fit.

In the savannahs of Africa was a hex, for example, whose inhabitants were now humanoids who were centauroid lions. From the waist down they were like some big predatory cat, from the waist up they were near human if you discounted that they had fur and muzzles and such. Some members of which had been as far away as California in the United States prior to the switching.

In that African hex, which was known as Krowlram, all equipment except the most basic and mostly muscle-powered failed to function. Cell phones wouldn't switch on, cars wouldn't start, and electrical outlets failed to carry electricity.

A resemblence to Pen-pen of Evangelion would have immediately been noted by many. As far as they were concerned with their newly mountainous region though, the lion-centaurs were best avoided. Pentoo would eventually become known in the region for its brewmasters and the major focus of the Pentooites would become a lifestyle where they could laze back in a refrigeration unit and drink nicely chilled beer.

Tatewaki Kuno was now a Krowlramite, female as four out of five Krowlramites were, and not really satisfied with either state though more accepting of it than he would have expected. Sasuke Sarugakure was now a Pentooite, still male, and rather more pleased with his life.
