"Who..." Julieta paused. "What are you?!?" The Space Queen answered. "The short answer is that I protect stability and life in this planetary system. A more complete answer is I don't know who or what I am. Follow me, Julieta Rayner." "But how did you know my name?" Julieta wondered. The Space Queen did not deign to answer. Instead she led the way deeper in the maze of caverns under the surface of Loiken. She entered a large gallery and ascended an illuminated stairway stopping at the mouth of a gigantic face gracing the far wall. "I remember awakening here, in the mouth of the techno god. My appearance, similar to yours, Julieta Rayner, suggests to me I was once a creature such as yourself. I have a vague sense of sharing space and time with another creature. The nature of that other creature is very different from your nature or what I might have been before awakening here." Julieta illuminated the Space Queen with the lantern on her staff and thought. Finally she shared her thoughts. "You're a symbiote. I think you might have been a human but you share existence with something else! Thank you for sharing all this with me!" "You're welcome although I admit sharing this is impulsive and the part of me unlike you is uneasy with this course of action," the Space Queen replied. "I'm honored," Julieta said. "You somehow know my name. What should I call you?" "Hmm..." Julieta's Loik companions stirred uneasily and made the squeaking noises signifying disapproval.
