What happened to Rosalie and Rosalind is one of the reasons so many Ageless volunteered to fight. There were so very few of us in those days, no more than one in a million. A few thousand Americans I think. Rosalie and Rosalind were brilliant gengineers and becoming famous even outside their field. They were so photogenic they made the cameras smile. Even the most reclusive of Ageless who had already withdrawn from “mortal” affairs entirely knew of those two girls. They were pretty awesome in that way. Then Rosalind died all the way. Every Ageless stood up and took real notice of that, let me tell you. And when one Ageless who had never once considered a military career volunteered to fight, it started a trend. A landslide. And the Ageless went to War.
