Chapter 12 Dara's Legacy

Remarkable changes had occurred by the 100th anniversary of the Crays initial revelation of their presence on Earth; and much more to come

Natural geneticists, the Cray had quickly adapted themselves to the remarkably different conditions on Earth.

Through the use of Transition, the assimilation and dissemination of human genetic material affected both species.

Humans developed the unused powers of their brain, particularly mind-to-mind contact. Cray developed functioning mouths and speech.

Transition evolved and now represented a reciprocal gift. The transition ceremony rivaled even the ancient human tradition of “marriage”

The legend of Dara Branson and her beloved Cray, Bloo, was imbedded in the very structure of the rapidly melding genome.

The Cray ship falling towards Aldeberan had eventually become a legend as well, although the memory of its crew lived on in place names.

DB 37, a lovely child at the age of 10 years, sat comfortably besides the stream which bisected the popular “Branson Eternal Monument.”

In the shade of the heroic statue of her distant cousin Geir Avery and his Cray bother True, DB

37 waited for her own blue friend to appearSuddenly DB’s heart was racing as she was nearly overcome with . . .fear! “They’re coming this way! We must hide!” came Rain’s urgent plea
