Blubell contacted her mother,Rose, and said, "Mom? I'm in Novo Paradisio, in the nightclub, Tree of Two Lanterns. I need some help. Can you come over ASAP?" Rose responded,"Help? Weapons or something else?" Bluebell responded,"Bring the full grown women of the family. It's something else. Can you come now?" Rose responded,"As soon as Snowflake gets here to the jail with bail-money. {insert smiley face)" "JAIL? Explain later. We have to deal with Jano's father." Bluebell cut off, leaving Rose curious as to why her daughter seemed so terrified and happy at the same time. It was an hour later, that Rose, Hawkwing, Snowflake and Kael came into the closed nightclub. Bluebell exclaimed, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Uhhhrrrr...wow, KAEL! You look awfully buff! I last heard you were dying from cancer! Are you better?" Jano put a hand on her back and said, "That's off topic. You should just tell them." Snowflake exclaimed, seeing what Bluebell was wearing,"Have you been accepted into the Naga cross-training program? THAT is major stuff! First of our species!" Kael said, "Yes...CURED in fact due to the Four Sisters! It buffed me up. Is that the news? Congratulations! Major news for the planet! The Naga are ANCIENT and ..." Bluebell shook her head. "No. It's bigger than that. WORLD CHANGING in fact. First off...I'm married to Jano. I'm legally Bluebell Rajjaf, now!" Rose said, "That's surprising, but given that Jano is a human...not unexpected. We Cyclops aren't so bound to our mates to require a legal note to bind us. That isn't world-shaking. We've done world shaking earlier today." Bluebell looked blank. "Like what?" Hawkwing asked, "ARE YOU TAKING STUPID PILLS? Look at ME! I'm soft organic looking, with only TWO LEGS! I don't look like a robot anymore! What is wrong with you?" Bluebell blinked her eye and said, "I thought you guys finally got the Four Sisters system on-line again. I knew you wanted to get 'SOFT', Hawkwing, so it's not surprising." Snowflake looked aghast at her sister and said,"We GREENED the planet! We transformed all Cyclops within 5000 miles of here! We purified the whole atmosphere, and brought life back to the dead seas! I'd call that world shaking!" Kael tossed in, "Madjulla claimed credit and declared Toxic and Neon illegal clones and they're on the run. World-shaking for them!" Bluebell whispered, "My news is bigger. I'm pregnant." The silence fell on the room like an avalanche. Snowflake asked, "How in HELL did THAT happen?" Hawkwing laughed, "It's biology. You have sex with a male Cyclops and..." Bluebell said, "Jano is the father." Faces froze with the shuddering, mind-numbing news. Rose gasped, "We're not even the same PHYLUM of creature as HUMANS! We are nano-machine reproducing MACHINE-LIFE! It is flatly not POSSIBLE for you have children! You were sterile as a Cyclops BEFORE you took your brain out and implanted it into that sex-doll body! How is this conceivable?" "It must be the affects of the blood I got from Toxic. Remember we got infusions of her blood from the Oracle? Also...I was dead with her in that virtual world for six months relative time, one week real time, and it changed me. I wanted a child and my desire must have been changing my ovaries and gene-code there! I don't know how!" Bluebell looked about to cry. Kael said, "Holy crap! This is bigger news than ours! With the Madjulla jump-starting religion again, this will make people riot in the streets and demand someone's heads! Cyclops ones! Remember the parable of Dao and the clock-work man! People have screamed about the development of robots ever since!" Rose sighed, "We'll have to smuggle you two off-planet. How long you been pregnant?" "Two and a half months. I wasn't sure and couldn't believe it. I'll start showing any time." Rose cursed and shattered a table with a kick. She then went over and held her daughter. --TO BE CONTINUED!--
