THE CHILD

by T'Lin -- 0505.28





Creating a child, to incite fear, is beyond my comprehension. The fact that the child was cloned from T'Pol and my genes, with the help of someone on Enterprise, causes me such emotional pain, I can't begin to express myself. But our daughter was beautiful ... and I love T'Pol for calling her Elizabeth. There is little consolation in the knowledge that her death was not our fault, but in the process used to create her.

She was created to destroy cooperation among the species of the universe ... her death just may have cemented a future of working together in peace.
