Ditana Amanso: She proves to be Digen's nemesis, almost causing him
to kill Joel Hogan.

Dr. Reginald Thornton: Chief of Surgery at the Gen hospital where
Digen seeks a Surgical internship/ residency.

Dr. Lankh: A medical researcher at the Gen hospital whose main
project is to discover a way to stop and reverse changeover. He cannot
understand why all his patients die.

VOCABULARY
Changeover: The process of maturing into a Sime adult. At the climax
of changeover, the tentacles burst from their sheaths, ready to absorb
selyn from a Gen. Children don't know if they will go through changeover
unless they are channels.

Sime: An adult human whose body does not produce selyn but whose
metabolism runs on selyn as a Gen's metabolism runs on calories.

Gen: An adult human whose body produces selyn but whose
metabolism does not consume measurable amounts of selyn.

Transfer: The process by which the Sime absorbs selyn from the Gen,
usually resulting in the Gen's death.

Channel: A type of Sime able to take selyn from any Gen without killing
and later give that selyn to a Sime to satisfy need and prevent the Sime
from killing.
 renSime: Any Sime who is not a channel.

Tecton: The organization of channels which undertakes to provide a
satisfying transfer for every Sime in order to prevent them from attacking
and killing Gens. The Gens donate selyn to the channels, who give it to the
renSimes, who are not allowed to take selyn directly from Gens. Only the
channels are allowed to satisfy their need for selyn by taking directly from
a Gen, called a Donor, who is trained to donate without endangering
himself.

Distect: A small underground organization which holds that the Tecton
channels perpetuate misery and suffering (not to mention perversion) by
preventing renSimes from direct transfer with Gens. The Distect believes
only the Gen can be responsible for controlling transfer and protecting his
own life. It is criminal to demand self-control from a Sime in need.

Need: The urgent demand a Sime experiences when his selyn reserves
are running low.

Underdraw: The sensation certain Gens experience when the body has
produced too much selyn and no Sime has drawn it off. Underdraw is a
