Dione Godkind's Links
Venus? Venus. No, if you asked, Dione could not remember a woman named Venus. She could remember her mother, although vaguely, and if she'd ever done anything good for Dione, nothing comes to her mind... after a while, the memories stop being of her mother and start being of black and cold space and suffocating water. So... Dione's memories are unfortunately not the fondest of her mother. ...She still doesn't know who this "Venus" is.
Poor ugly Dione. Venus wonders how she ended up so... different. It's not a good look -- nevertheless, she's sure that with her genes, Dione has grown into a strapping young woman. Or. She better have. As far as Venus was aware, Dione was nothing, could do nothing, and would become nothing. It was only rational to hand her over to her subordinates over in the lab -- but even they cannot turn water to wine, and she kicked Dione into the curb -- disgusting, a failure.
