Cree shuddered. There was no doubt in his mind that the parasites Jarl had discovered on Resuello were related to the ones residing in his body. He felt the Queen move and instinctively reached behind him to put his hand on his back, still expecting pain but the pain did not come. The creature coiled and uncoiled, shifted, but it did not hurt him in the process.

There were two more journal pages but the Reaper could not bring himself to read the entries. He removed the disklette from its drive and returned it to its foam-cushioned slot. He sat there staring at the disklette with his name on it—knowing that what he might discover on it would turn his world upside down. He was sitting there an hour later, his heart pounding in his chest, the disklette still in its slot, when Kym came quietly into the room. He said nothing as she laid her hands on his shoulders.

"How much have you read?” she asked and when he answered in a low voice, her hands slid over his shoulders to his chest and she pulled him back against her and held him in her arms.

"Tell me,” he whispered, unaware of her hands on him.

Kym took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"The journal goes on to explain the arrival of two scientists named Coden Sejm and Barriq Cean,” she told him. “Sejm was from Diabolusia but there is no mention of from where Cean had come. They were both genetic engineers. Sejm had been carrying on stem cell research in Diabolusia ... which is against the laws of that world ... and had fled before he could be sent to prison for what he was doing. It appears Cean had a hand in helping Sejm escape. They came to Rysalia Prime and were welcomed here with open arms."

"Figures,” Cree said.

"The powers in charge afforded them every luxury in exchange for them continuing their research on Rysalia Prime."

"Sejm,” Cree said, the word distasteful in his mouth. “Was Hael his woman?"

Kym laughed. “She would have liked to have been but he wanted no part of her or any other woman for that matter. From what I read between the lines, he and Cean were lovers. Hael took his last name wanting others to believe he had favored her."

"She worked with him?"

Kym nodded. “Indeed she did, but that was later on. She started out working with Cean"

"What transpired after they came to work here?"

"It was inevitable that Jarl, Sejm, and Cean would meet. Jarl told them about what he had discovered on Resuello and the three of them began experimenting with the parasite's DNA. Apparently Cean was not unfamiliar with the spores. The team worked with mice at first, genetically modifying the embryonic stem cells. The altered cells were implanted into a blastocyst —an embryo—which was in turn then implanted into the uterus of a mouse. I won't bore you with the protocols and such but let it suffice to say
