	The "unsorted" crystals are not generally useful in industry before they've been sorted, as some of the secondary functions can be highly dangerous if not identified (even if they are unlikely to provide any significant benefit or threat once they have been). A significant portion of Aramin's industry involves sorting and tagging the dual crystals for sale (and finding the actually useful ones for internal use, and getting rid of the duds, and putting the ones who have no identified secondary function to the side for future research).

The shapeshifting ability Kyil does find useful is survival in extreme circumstances--he figured out how to get tatooed and pierced with hardly any pain at all, for example, and he's practiced a lot to survive in other unpleasant and dangerous circumstances--'who can last longer' was a game he almost always won among his friends after school.		* Tolerance for Extremes.

	Unfortunately, he was assigned to attend not as a guest but disguised as an entertainer -- specifically, a clown. While there, he has heard some rather more promising rumors about wormhole research going on involving the colony worlds and possibly House Gwyne. Naturally, it was his duty to pursue them, and so he quickly arranged a position for himself in a troupe belonging to one of the colonial houses (Aramin, as it turned out), with plans to do a tour of the colony worlds. Very unfortunately, this job requires him to maintain his current cover as "Mister Boffin".
