"Of course I do," the one known as Bambi answers. "What sort of a stupid
question is that? My name is Belboz and..." She breaks off, realising that
something is very wrong with the sound of her voice. Then she looks down
at herself, and lets off a stream of invective that seems rather
incongruous coming from that very feminine body. Apparently she has no
memory of her transformation nor of anything subsequent to it - though of
course she has been kept under sedation for most of that time anyway. The
Champions' hope and expectation is that she will quickly get used to her
transformation and accept it, as usually happens in such cases, but that
remains to be seen. (Of course, it will be no surprise if she doesn't want
to continue to use that rather silly name of "Bambi" that she's been
lumbered with but opts for something different.)
Her outburst has given "Fifi" a chance to compose herself. When Belboz/Bambi eventually stops swearing, she says surprisingly calmly: "And I am - or I suppose I should say 'was' - Frederigo De Honaire." "Aha! I knew it!" Fertal exclaims. Fred/Fifi looks at him curiously. "Do I know you?" she asks. "There seems to be something very familiar about you that I can't quite put my finger on." Fertal smiles. "You could say that," he says. "Perhaps I'd better explain who we all are, what's happened to you, and how you come to be here. And indeed where 'here' is. But first we should waken our other pair of sleeping beauties, to save having to give largely the same explanation twice...
