A great character - reworked with a new model and re-rendered with a little tweak. Excerpt: A diminutive figure sprang lightly out of a steaming shower. Rivulets of water trailed down her slim pert, and youthful body. All lights were off except for the down lights in her suite. There was a sense of urgency as she bounded toward the connecting bedroom. Even as each step inflicted a wet imprint on an albiet luxurious and ostentatious Persian rug that covered the whole expanse of the room, she found it inconsequential. However, this action effected an auto-response from the disc-like cleaning bots to ensure the lavish rug was well groomed and taken care of at all times. Just as the cleaning bots whirled towards the areas that affronted their programming, a single glare from the offender stopped them in their tracks. Immediately, they withdrew, almost whining as they hurtled back to whence, they came. Uninterrupted, the feminine petite figure stopped at the foot of the bed before sitting down crossed legged on the rug in a lotus pose. Her back was straight, her shoulders relaxed, and eyes shut. She placed her right palm above the left with the tips of her thumbs touching. She chanted under her breath in ancient tongue, words unheard of in that day and age. Energy coalesced just above her head. Tiny beams of lights breached some sections of the diaphanous energy that had formed. As the breaches began to overlap a portal began to open. The colors of cosmos began to pour into reality. Not too long thereafter, her body began to lift off the rug and hovered at least two feet off the ground. Prologue to Tunnels of Gliese
