Ok, my head hurts trying to understand the backstory here, Xazz, so I'll keep myself to Mercury, Venus, and her daughter for now. So Mercury was a human synthetic Driver and it sounds like Venus was a powerful Angel. Presumably the ones whom the later AI Venus and AI Mercury were named for. So Mercury was a Stadalla? And involved with Venus. Given that he was synthetic, I assume he was created to go into the Unnamed and then report to the Proeathans what he found on the other side. And what he found was Duncan. Who taught him all that he could be and do for the world. All Earthlings. So that plan backfired on Proeathans when Mercury worked to free humans and give them a safe place to live. Why didn't he and Venus find a hidden place for them to live? The Proeathans continued to monitor the situation even after Mercury's death and finally decided the humans were getting too much power and they had to control it or destroy it. And was Venus pregnant when she and Mercury became a couple, or did she find a partner after they came together in order to have a baby? I assume Venus was pregnant before entering the Unnamed with Mercury since Lucy tried and could not get pregnant in the Unnamed. The Unnamed must have been the only safe place Mercury could take her. Why did Mercury kill the girl, if he did? Did she remind him too much of his lost love? Did she remind of the father, whom sounds like it was a Proeathan given you said the child had mixed parentage? (Hm. If Lucy had come back pregnant with another man's child after touring the world for a hundred years, how would Des have reacted to both Lucy and her child? He loves her so much, I suspect he'd accept the child and raise it like it was his.) For that matter, why would Mercury kill the girl when it sounds like she was his partner in killing Proeathans who wouldn't leave the humans in peace? His mistake, which I'm glad Des didn't repeat, was to try to forge a separate 'nation-state' for lack of a better word, rather than forge both peoples together and make them work together. Like what Des does. Whew. Speculating on your magnificent wiki is fun, Xazz. Thank you!
