These women can be visibly identified by a genetic quirk passed through the mitochondrial DNA line. They also inherit a disposition towards loneliness, isolation and tragedy. Pursued as avidly as they are, they have no escape except to find love, or die. Professor Andre Barnard finds himself tasked with the preservation of The Device and the ancient Island City of Aegila The journey continues in MEKANISMO Journal III, Ophiucus Rising.
