When a plague wiped out Relda's kind years ago, her uncle took her and escaped from Quadrant 1 to Quadrant 4. Then he contracted the plague and died. She was left, and clones from a creature named Eyan are the last hope to continue her race. So she took a medallion from the Temple of Qor to pay him. Problem is, he has left to take his highly illegal cloning practice to the infamous Quadrant 3. After a chance meeting  with Quadrant 3 teenagers, she finds herself headed toward Quadrant 3. 
Things don't go as planned, but maybe that's for the best.

The Last Jucardians

 Relda woke to Rhiannon propelling two incubators to the door. 


 “Wait!” She called. “Where are you taking them?” 


 Rhiannon paused and steadied the incubators. 


 “Early Birth Care,” she replied. “They were premature, but they’ll be alright. We want their health to be optimal; one day they’re going to save the quadrant.” 


 “Can you send Raylay and the girls in please?” She asked, closing her eyes. 


 “Sure thing,” Rhiannon responded. 


 “Please, Triune,” she muttered as the hallway took Rhiannon and the babies from sight. “Keep them safe.” 


 “Can we come in?” A familiar crackly voice inquired. 


 Relda opened her eyes as Raylay filled the door frame, holding Daly and Anthem’s hands in his. 


 The other three girls followed Raylay, Daly, and Anthem. They filed to Relda’s bed and divided. Half stood on one side; the other half, the other. 


 “Your sisters are here,” Relda announced.
