Pictured here as she meets Morrison at Mickey's bar during body painting night. She and a couple of other crewmen from the Flame are blowing off steam and getting some R&R in.

Lillith is a good enough sport to give in to the taunts and dares from her crewmates, and allows the local artist to paint this sports uniform on her skin. It's an antique design from old Earth. He's added a few artistic enhancements based on the inspiration from painting the best body he's ever seen.

Note: It would take a discerning eyes to notice that she's wearing paint and only paint.

Alisa is a good enough sport to give in to the taunts and dares from her crewmates, and displays her virtuoso on the pool table.

Donning an open shirt and tying her hair off into two crude ponytails, she joins Morrison at the table for some beers and discussion of Westfold's future.

Or the lack of it.

Kyreen was  two years old when she was found in the crashed remains of an Arion spacecraft, the only survivor.

Raised on the remote seeded world of Westfold, she has no idea that she was born to the dreaded Tset'lar clan. She does know that she had the most amazing powers from the time she arrived on the gold-free planet.

Raised to think of herself as a special kind of human, she's a student of Dr. David Morrison at WLCA. A brilliant pre-med student, she's also called Promise by the military, who sees her as their own hope if people with her unique genetics return.

She's also pregnant, carrying a child which was in-vitro fertilized and implanted back in her uterus, the DNA coming from both her ova and Morrison's sperm.

An act that he did not authorize and which disturbs him greatly. He's not ready to be a father, least of all of a Tset'lar baby.

Pictured here as Morrison meets her in her apartment to invite her to meet Alisa the next morning.

She's meeting with Kalik, but she's very worried about Morrison's high fever.

Kyreen has all the power of a Tset'lar, which makes her far more deadly than a Protector or a Prime. Not only does she have twice the physical strength of a Protector, her eyes, which she has not yet learned to use, can destroy any form of matter.

Including a normally invulnerable Supremis.
