Chapter 8

She had to think about that for a few seconds, “Flintkote Addie Resort-managers daughter?” Tyche asked.

“No...” And here was a bit of Icelandic... “Tyche Addierétturstjórnandidóttir,” Addie said.

The planet, Cassandra, has been receiving Heroes from all Earth nations. Admittedly, the majority of those heroes have been from English speaking territories. But not all heroes are restricted to English ancestry.

Cassandra is a Matriarchy, and that is a social system in which females hold the primary power positions in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property.
