Abigail enters the infirmary  finally remembering they wanted to meet there.

A tall bald man is standing within, talking to an infirmary technician. There is an exact copy of him standing beside him. After a while, he turns his head to notice Abigail.

"Good, you made it. What are the extent of your skills as they are?"

If people don't come to an agreement, perform my patented choosing process of spinning around until I fall down vomiting and then go in the direction I'm closest to facing.

Indeed. The symmetry is amusing.

If she recalls the instructions given to her on the mission itself though, she should find Xan relatively easily.

What are the extent of your skills?

Maybe, but they're working towards the same thing, so they should get along rather nicely.

Words were spiteful, sociopathic, megalomaniacal, thanatophobic, transhuman, if anyone was wondering. PW said they were so specific he could only think of giving me a copy of myself.

Does it have any powers? I'm guessing it has the shape shifting abilities from old Xan?

To quote PW:

Sure, fine with me.  Wanna do a limited flesh warper version of him from back before you were the arm ball?

I suspect this means no trying to clone myself with my id shenanigans or anything like that, but it can certainly fuck people over like old Xan.

I encourage everyone to look at my post again since I edited it rather heavily.

Yes, Xan's id is literally himself.

((Thanks piecewise. *brofist*))

Xan stood once again, tall and hairless, in his body. Not his true body, regrettably, but this one was ... more than close enough. He stared down at his hand and imagined what he could do with it if he merely focused...

But no. The Father had been correct in his assessment; he had been rash and foolish before. If he was to reclaim his rightful heritage, he must purge the unnecessary passion out of his form. No waste. No rage. Nothing but what needed to be done.

He glanced to his right and activated his Id Manifester, and a perfect copy of him appears, staring back at him. Xan merely nodded in acknowledgement.

"Another sign that I am on the right path. You will protect me in the trial we face ahead."

Introspection over and done with for now, he turned and found the nearest infirmary technician.

"I will require entry to the deep infirmary. Do you possess any containment apparatuses that would be able to keep particularly unruly specimens under control? Failing that, where would I obtain something of that description? It must be fully sealed and very sturdy."

Attempt to obtain containment apparatus from medicine people. If not, ask about equivalents elsewhere. Maybe an enlarged braincase?

If they do have something I could use, enter the deep infirmary. You know what I'm looking for.

Eh, it's ultimately not really a matter since Benny only appears in like one sentence in the books. Given that I had to spend ten minutes convincing my family that no this wasn't Melly, it may have been a dumb move all the same though.
