Secrets Revealed: The deported Darwin members

One the questions remaining at the end of The Ark Lords was how were the deported members of the Darwin Project treated once they arrived at Helome? As you will recall, at the end of The Ark Lords, Rei had MINIMCOM strip them of their clothes and pack them into the cargo hold like sardines. The entire group was then transported via MINIMCOM and Junior to the planet Helome.

In the Epilogue, Rei made reference to the fact that a second wave of Darwin members had turned themselves in and were also transported to the new planet. Rei had promised Virga he would send volunteers for use as "breeding stock." While technically they were not volunteers in the traditional sense, MINIMCOM told Rei and Rome that Virga accepted his "gift" and they would serve the desired purpose.

In fact, when MINIMCOM was addressing Rome, his exact words were "She said what you and Rei have given her and all the residents of Helome is priceless."

When Rome questioned whether they would be interred and treated as criminals. Rei said to her, "I'm pretty sure the Overmind of Helome will see to it that their children are raised as human beings, not murderers but I'll tell you what. We'll go back some day and check things out. What do you say?" Rome agreed and I'm sure you do too.

There are some Darwin characters we "care" about more than others. How did Captain Keller fare? What about Bonnie Mullen? How about Nick Greer who lost his right hand when MINIMCOM sliced it off?

All of your questions will be answered in the upcoming novel Rome's Evolution.
