"The Feeders are vampires," Kara began to explain. "The Techheads are cyborgs, the Griffs are human-animal hybrids, and the Femmes are seductive women who used to be men."
"Which one are you?" I asked.
As she removed her cloak and her outerwear, she said "I'm a Techhead."
I stared at her mostly naked body, which was more metal than flesh. In fact, the only part of her that looked completely human was her head and neck.
"I know it's strange to look at, but everything works." She clenched her metal hands, showing me that all of the robotic parts of her body moved just like real organic ones.
"What about ... you know?" I asked, pointing between her metallic legs.
"My sex organs? No, those are gone. The sphere took them from me."
"I'm sorry," I said.
"It happened years ago. I've gotten used to it. And besides, out here there aren't that many people to have sex with. You know?"
"Yeah. So ... uh ... what do we do now?" I asked, sitting down on the raggedy couch.
