translocation of genetic factors during meiosis and mitosis. The concentration of metallic ores in the Pot of
Gold supported the theory that the asteroids were the remains of another planet. It always made her
wonder about an extraterrestrial origin for her people. Especially when she read the old legends and
stripped away the magical aspects.

Cait gnawed at her lower lip. Her parents were so proud of her qualifying for Harvard's Pre-med class.
тАЬSorry, Tiny.тАЭ

His shoulders sagged. тАЬOkay.тАЭ He patted his shirt pocket. тАЬThere'll be other expeditions. If you ever
change your mind, I have your VR stats right here with me.тАЭ

She shook her head. Goddess, she was tempted! The best thing to do was to leave before she agreed.
The longer he talked, the more she wanted to go. Empathic sensitivity was a tricky ability to control. She
had to make sure it was something she really wanted instead of a reaction to what he wanted. Her gaze
focused on the skinsuit draped over her arm. She held it up. тАЬWhat about this?тАЭ

Tiny waved it away. тАЬKeep it.тАЭ

She nodded, surprised by his generosity. When you took into consideration the special catheter and
microfilament neural fibres for direct input to her spinal column, it was well worth the price she paid for
the custom fit. Besides, authentic skinsuits for EVA solar wings were all the rage dirtside.

Cait dodged a clump of customers digging through a pile of used EVA suits and walked outside to Deck
Two's lift. Its doors slid smoothly open as she approached and revealed two passengers standing inside it
already. Was it a plot by the goddess to test her patience? she thought. It was the only logical way to
explain why Kyle and Dushawn were there.

Their salacious excitement washed over Cait as the lift doors slid shut. That didn't help matters any. She
moved to the back of the lift, put on her best poker face and stared blankly at the wall. Maybe if she
ignored them, they'd leave her alone.

No such luck. Kyle moved in on her first. тАЬYour mama has two husbands. How many do you want?тАЭ
He tried to pinch her buttocks.

She rolled her eyes and stepped out of his reach. No use trying to explain things to these idiots. Her
fathers were lucky they found a human woman to love them and accept their culture. It worked out pretty
good for her fathers. The only other Sidhe left were too closely related for them to partner. Of course, as
a physician, her mother had a unique perspective when she met her two suitors.

тАЬYeah,тАЭ Dushawn reached out and tried to paw her chest. тАЬHow many guys can you handle?тАЭ

Cait didn't want to deal with them right now. тАЬBack off,тАЭ she told them.

Identical stupid grins blossomed on their faces. They moved closer. Then, with their juvenile lust swirling
around her in a red haze, she pushed them against opposite walls. Sidhe strength came in handy
sometimes.
The lift shuddered and groaned to a stop at Deck Six. тАЬThe next time you make a wrong move, there
won't be any warning. I'll just kick you in the nuts,тАЭ Cait said when the doors opened.

Both men scrambled out. Kyle wiped the blood dripping out of his nose onto his shirtsleeve. Cait rubbed
