Quartzoid - the living rock

Keith scurried across the floor and jumped straight into the
changer's tube, ready and willing.
"Ok, I'm ready, fire her up!"
Mean while, Jay was still struggling with the concept of what he was.
"...Wings...?"
<END SNIP>
"Yes Jay, wings." said Dean, regaining the power of speech. "You
know, things that flap and OW!" Dean was whacked across the room by
Jay's left wing, straight into the Eve, knocking her forward into
the control panel.
"THat's quite a span you've got there" said Dean, rubbing his jaw.
"Guys?" said Jack, "The Tube's changing to white again."
Eve pushed herself off the panel, "I have no idea what I just
pressed."
The tube cleared.
The group was speechless.
"..." mouthed Dean
"How?" said Alota, simply. "That isn't actually alive is it."
Then Keith sprouted little legs and ran over to join the baby lizard
Zodar.
"Well?" it said in a hkigh squeaky voice, "what am I?"
Jay looked at Dean, "You tell him."
"You're, uhm... well, a rock. With legs, and now a voicebox."
"You got a mirror?"
"Surprisingly being that I'm a man no. You might want to ask any one
of these multiple women here though." gestured Dean.
"Here wee man." said Eve, passing down a mirror.
"Cool! Quartzoid, the space form of quartz."
"Wait," said Dean, "I'm no longer smart, but surely that means that
it must have DNA, otherwise Keith couldn't be change dinto it,so
therefore, quartzoid is actually a living rock."
"He's right, amazingly." said Eve, "what a discovery."
"Well," said Dean, cockily, "I can't stick around being smart all
day." he started to swagger off the platfrom upon which the control
panel was mounted. "My tuuuuuuurrrrrrnn...." he tripped over Jay's
outstrectched wing and was stopped dead in his tracks inside a tube
that shot down from the ceiling.
"VERY FUNNY JAY!" came the muffled voice from inside the glass tube.
