to be victim, or effect, of what it made."

women. It was easy to tell, because they wore no clothes.
...
The four approached and stood before us, smiling happily.
They had beautiful bodies, in perfect condition.
...
He smiled broadly. "You are wondering what we eat."
"You all look well fed and healthy."
"Healthy?"
"No sickness or injuries, and so on."
"You come from a strange world! Do you really have difficulty maintaining your physical body?"
"That is our major difficulty."
"How sad. Our history has a record of such problems many thousands of years past."
"No bugs? No viruses? No one is killed or injured?"
"I understand what you are saying. The bugs and viruses work with us, Robert. There is no conflict. As for being killed . . . we stopped what you call dying long ago."
