While all this was going on, catnip was busy eating. Her body was making up for all the changes it had gone through and burning through calories faster than catnip could take them in. She hoped that Quinn and Dervish had come up with something.
Later, Dervish came to catnip with a familiar looking thing in his hands. "Ok nip, Quinn and I have figured out a way to reverse engineer the device you found. Put this on your arm." Catnip was reluctant to use it, but if Dervish said it was good, well... she'd have to trust in Dervish. He strapped the spider like object down to her shoulder and it immediately went to work. She was filled with the same strange weakness that had overcome her when she'd put the other one on, but it lacked the nauseating effect. She felt that receed, and watched as her tough claws went soft and then fell away to reveal somewhat shorter fingernails. She felt like something was drawn out of her, while something else was breathing a breath of soothing fresh air into her. Best of all though, she didn't feel so hungry anymore.
