Chapter One: Heritage
Jim had been despondent until he began to receive reports from his
network concerning the birth of an extraordinary child.
When he found Kathy and tested her skills, he also set out on a detailed
examination of her family tree, mapping each contact he had had with it down
through the millennium. Though he did not require this for proof, the study
confirmed for him that she was the one.
He had no doubt, Kathy was the product of his ambition. She had received
all of the crosses which he had been managing in other lines; only, she had
received more, the crosses happened at different intervals, her line had
incorporated more stabilizing structures than he had wanted to build into the
genetic profile of his prime candidates.
Now he saw his error, and he was grateful for it.
Kathy did not come from one of his principle studies, she was a wild
card. He thought it was poetic.
There was something uniquely human about the way Kathy just crept-up on
him with her fully realized potential.
Now that she had arrived and he Jim had examined her, he knew that it
could not have happened any other way, and he took this lesson to heart.
Of course he
had to manage her upbringing and test her abilities exhaustively, but he had to
remain distant at the same time, He was afraid that over-interference might
spoil his work.
