Why Rei not weird?

Yesterday, Virga and the Overmind of Helome spent time studying (and recovering from the shock of) Rome and Rei's genetic makeup. Rome was capable of connecting to the Overmind of Deucado and the Overmind of Earth. She also had the "cell-phone in the head" shared by her husband. Unfortunately, that new piece equipment overwrote her bloco and stilo, her digital interface to equipment but Rome agreed the trade-off was in her favor.

Here is the wrapup of Virga's DNA detour including her conclusions should Rome and Rei decide to have another child, aka Lupe:

     Virga turned to Rei. “And you? You are Essessoni. You were injected with this prosthetic chromosome as well?”
     “Yeah,” Rei said. “For a minute or two, I really was connected to MASAL but then they decided they hated me and kicked me out, Cesdiud.”
     Virga just shook her head.
     “It was actually sort of fun while it lasted,” Rei said. “It gave me a little sense of what it must be like to be Vuduri, but… oh well.”
     Virga turned back to Rome. “And your son? Was he conceived before or after you were genetically modified?”
     “He is a mix of both,” Rome said. “His PPT resonance is very strong and he has our 25th chromosome. I suspect that when I was injected on Deucado, the new pair crossed the placental barrier. However, he has an Essessoni father so he would never let go of his individuality. He can talk to the Overmind on Deucado but he would never submit. Even in the womb. He is neither Vuduri nor Essessoni. He is something else.”
     Virga looked back up the screen. “If you ever had another child, he or she would have triple PPT resonance plus your OMCOM’s enhancements.” She just shook her head. “This child would be very powerful.”
     Rome gave Rei a knowing look but said nothing. OMCOM had already requested they produce a daughter and the time was drawing near. Rome put it out of her mind.
     “We will not be alive to produce any more children if we do not capture the people who would kill us. Can we go see Bonnie now?”
     “Of course,” Virga said. She gathered up the pills lying on the table and placed them in a jar by the side of the sampling equipment. “Thank you very much for these. They are invaluable. I will take you to see her right away.”

Finally, we get to see what happened to Bonnie Mullen. However, before we get there, we're going to take a brief tour back up into space to check a peculiar kind of radiation that may allow us to create a new kind of star drive that we might see in our lifetime.
