My sisters and I are created life forms, but we are not artificial. Jake is confused from science fiction stories he’s doubtless read somewhere. We have no machine parts in us and our minds, while they can be influenced, cannot truly be programmed like a computer."
"My mother suffered three extreme losses over a very short period of time," Lisa continued. "After seeing Raman’s dead body and laying the crew to rest, we arrive in New Eden just in time for Father to pass on. His loss weakened us all, and no one noticed how strongly my mother was affected by his eminent passing.
"But when she turned to Jake for solace, she discovered that Annalisa had claimed his soul, and that he and Annalisa were true lifemates in a way that she could never be to him. That was what finally killed her.
"But she didn’t commit suicide," Lisa promised them all. "Her death was an accident. She didn’t even realize she was being burned alive until the very end, and then it was too late. I won’t deny she welcomed her ending, and she went to the Praetor, happy that it was finally over for her, and asked it to succor her until her soul was healed."
"How do you know all this?" Jake asked, surprised that Lisa was so well informed.
"I went back in time and watched her die," Lisa told him. "My sister Elaine forbade me to rescue her, and insisted that it was for the good of all. But I had to see for myself. In the end, I had to agree – once she was with the Praetor, my mother was content."
Lisa continued, "She was ‘Carte Blanche’, you see, and was above my interference in any decision she made. Since Mother hadn’t asked for help, I was not permitted to help. I was angry for awhile, but the praetor helped me to understand what really happened."
"Wow," Tabatha sighed in wonder. "And I was pissed at her for deserting me. How selfish is that?"
"We were all upset, Darling," Frank replied, hugging her for a moment before realizing that it was her husband’s job to console her.
"Well, I’ll take the praetor back to the present," Lisa said, "I mean back to the future, so we can get some more hybrid bodies started for those crew members who wish to rejoin us. This will cheer Elaine up a bit, I imagine."
Lisa lifted the praetor out of the air, tucked it under her bare arm, and turned toward the door before turning back.
"You know, Jake," she said, "Your misconceptions about us goddesses are pretty common, so it’s not really your fault that you think of us as less than true beings. Even my father’s people were xenophobic enough so that many of them willingly perished at the ends of their lives and entered into another planet’s ecology rather than be reborn as hybrids. They didn’t understand, either."
She and Jake gazed at each other for a moment, then Lisa turned and left, taking the praetor with her.
