There were problems with the Form Change process. One or two
malfunctions at first: people emerging from the tanks in an
incorrect form or completely unchanged. For three years it had been
getting worse. Now there had been deaths, and on the space farms,
panic was setting in. People were refusing to go into the tanks. Yet
out in the Cloudlands, they needed continuous small form corrections
just to stay effective. As the faults increased, their society was
on an exponential curve to disaster.
