Connor51 and Hank were at the zoo, Connor trying to explain Hank that he had rode an elephant when he was in India. 

 - The elephant was so colorful ! You can't imagine how beautiful he was, even though he looked sad...

 - I'm happy for you, son. However the zoo is closing in half an hour and we still haven't done everything. So ? What do you want to do ? 

- I want to see the iguanas and the chameleons ! I've been told they are beautiful !

 - Alright, we're going to the vivarium. 

 As they arrived, a tiny android gave them a pamphlet about the numerous types of reptiles that were in the zoo. 

 - According to this, the iguanas and the chameleons are at the end of the vivarium. 

- We'll take advantage of this to see the other animals, answered Connor51. 


 They entered the vivarium, enjoying the soothing music and lights that welcomed them.The first animal they saw was a gigantic green snake which was said to come from Amazonia. 

 But as he saw the reptile, Connor stepped back... He couldn't stop thinking of another type of snake. The one who had made him hunt people of his own kind. The one who was preventing him to talk to these lovely people from another time. 

 "Amanda" he murmured before running out of the vivarium as bad memories came back. 

 Hank found him near the vivarium's entry, rolled into a ball... Hank hugged him. 

- It's okay Connor. Whatever happened it's over... It's over... 

 And they rested like this until Connor calmed down before going back home.
