Rapture's genius will be held within her DNA, able to shift into desired patterns at will. A Utopian cannot be confined to a single throw of the genetic dice. When needed, she is a composer, a dancer, an engineer... She truly will be the People's Daughter.

I could leave Father's moon. And go where? I was now as alien as it is possible to be. The only Ketran in a galaxy that, with few exceptions, had never known we existed. And I was an alien who contained within himself a multitude. I was filled up with answers to the questions of tens of thousands of relatives and friends on a thousand worlds. I knew where their loved ones had gone, why they had never returned. I was all that was left of Ket, but I was at the same time all that was left of other long-extinct races and of tribes and families. I had become a living repository of life in a hundred variations. Life that would remain closed behind the locked doors of my own feeble brain unless... unless I could become something else.
