ExcerptTwo:
"So, what's so special about some random legend?"says Rachel. "My safta raba Ariella said, 'She said one day Nearat and herdaughter will return. Humanity will wane and wobble. And the woman who willsave humanity will bring peace from the blue light. But to return, one mustovercome one's fear of death. Two women will fight so that one will die. Foronly in the death of life as one knows it can she be in the light. Until then,Inanna awaits.'""
With a light chuckle, Mei combs through ground-penetratingradiation scans as she says, "Be thankful you only had to memorize sevensentences. That guy from California with the Kurdish woman had to memorize fourtimes that much. His grandfather made him say it backwards, even. As random asyour safta raba's saying may seem, it isn't to Murometz, and even Jean-Paul,who's aggregating oral traditions like yours with thousands of others he'scollected, including those from the Vatican archives. They are far from randomnow."
Slowly walking in concentric circles from the black boxMoxWorld loaned her, Rachel views the real-time scan images as she says,"I wish I could have met Mr. Murometz when you and Jean-Paul screened me.Not that I didn't relish our time together."
"Come on, Rach. You wouldn't wear that dress I made foryou, much less the vamp shoes and makeup we designed," says Mei.
"I didn't mean to meet him in 'that' way," saysRachel as she runs her hand along her braids. "If I'm not worthy enoughminus my lady bits, then he isn't worthy enough for my time, I say."
"I never said you had to wear those simply ravishingclothes for him," says Mei.
"Well, certainly it wasn't for Father Sobiros, Iassumed. And you said Murometz was fascinated that my safta raba's wordsincluded a reference to a Sumerian goddess whose priestesses were known forprostitution. I only assumed he was hinting he wanted the same out of me, asall the rumors would suggest," jests Rachel. "Wait. Do you see what Isee?"
"Hold on, Rach. I have an incoming call from thepresident of China."
