Language Lessons by Hypnosis
The main entrance was guarded by two large,
red scaled aliens, and two human security guards stood nearby. Lucy hesitated,
wondering if it would be as easy to enter as Sa Kamizan had implied. It was
certainly worth trying. She walked to the door, where the red aliens barred her
way. A security guard and a sand-colored alien approached to question her.
Lucy said, “Sa Kamizan told me to come here to use the
hypnotranslator.” .
“Your name, please?” The human guard asked
coolly.
“Dr. Lucy Stannis.” She waited, as a short
discussion took place just out of her hearing.
The doorman returned to say,
“You may enter while we check your authorization with Sa Kamizan.”
She was ushered through the heavy doors and
told to wait. One of the alien guards
spoke to someone on the vidicom.
The human security guard became friendlier
than at first. He reassured Lucy. “Sa Kamizan is one of the top boys here.
You’ll be all right if he recognizes you.”
Lucy disliked such restrictions. It was
irksome that her language lessons should depend on whether an alien remembered
her name. Still, she maintained a serene expression and waited.
After about ten minutes, an elevator door
opened and a blue alien came into the entrance hall. Lucy recognized Sa Kamizan
Veedak. She tried to keep her face calm, but felt relief.
He was more impressive than she remembered.
He wore a blue tunic to match his scales and a gold patterned belt. He spoke
briefly to one of the guards and then came nearer. “Good afternoon, Dr.
Stannis. I shall take you to the hypnolector.”
Lucy followed him to the elevator. As they
passed the security guard, Lucy noted that he was impressed too. She didn’t
speak until they were alone in the elevator. “I thought they were going to
throw me out, Sa Kamizan,” she said, trying to keep irritation out of her
voice.
His reply was neutral, “We do not wish
unauthorized people to wander about this building.”
Lucy decided to be cautious and gave a slight
smile. “How long will the language lessons take?’
“Five sessions of one hour each will give you
the basics of our language, Kavkani. I trust you can spare the time.” They
stopped at the third floor and he stepped out. “It is the second room here.”
An icy thought glazed her mind. What if they
had inserted a mind controller into the hypnolector? She stopped in sudden
alarm.
