That...was not supposed to happen.

The Goddess Athena.

A bit of luck and some good genes as far as reproduction goes. Also, some care for one's health goes a long way to stave off the worst of illnesses.

Ah yes. I've met her -- or, at least, some incarnation claiming to be her. Quite the zealot.

Have you ever thought to tinker about with your DNA to remove the inhibitive components so you can breed properly?

I think I spoke with the Doctor regarding this - the Athena I live for is not the same Athena you know.

We simply do not know how.

That would make some sense, I suppose. It is a vast universe, after all, and you are beings I've never encountered before.

And your goddess won't help?

If ever we return to our own worlds, I'll see if I can find the texts my master left to me about us.

She is a goddess of mine, not my people. However, I believe she saved us from extinction once long ago.

I should like that, thank you.

Can you explain that?

I think it's time they see daylight again.

How she saved us? I'm not exactly sure, as it was long before my time, but the story goes that our number had fallen to less than one hundred. The goddess sheltered us in her Sanctuary, safe from outside threats for several decades until our numbers increased again.

I believe there is more detail in one of the books, if you're still curious.

I am, yes. If you could bring the tome, I'd appreciate it. This is all quite fascinating to me.

As soon as I am able to access my world, I should be glad to. I rather enjoy teaching, so I suppose we make quite the pair.

[laughs] I can teach you more things than there are stars in the sky, but I am always happy to learn more.

And I should be happy to learn as well.
