The religious groups and antisynths clashed outside. In the commotion, the fences were overrun. As the torrential crowd began toward the Patria Institute, the armed guards were helpless to act. Short of a massacre, nothing was going to stop them from reaching her. 
 
 The band of Wayfarers moved quickly through the halls. Gunfire was beginning to break out as they reached her room. Paige was watching the carnage unfold outside and turned around with a yelp as the door opened. Three of the Wayfarers entered, the remaining four took up a defensive position outside. 
 
 `` We ask that you come with us. We will guarantee your safety,'' the Wayfarer in the center spoke as he removed his hood. 
 
 Paige was stunned. Considering the temperament of the mob outside, she thought she would be torn apart by the limbs tonight. Violent mob or the old man in front of her, great options. `` What about my son?'' 
 
 `` Female. She will be safe, her training will be strenuous, but her genetics will make it tolerable. Her safety is guaranteed.'' 
 
 `` Female? It's a clone.'' Paige was only the surrogate but she had always heard the doctors refer to it as a boy. 
 
 `` They extracted two sets of male DNA from the Shroud and synthesized a female from the X chromosomes of each. This is the child you carry. We will have more time to explain but we must move now,'' the Wayfarer was firm. `` If you did not know, it is likely that you never would have. She will be half Christ.'' 
 
 Paige considered everything for a moment. Glancing behind her, it looked as if the crowd had backed off but was still hurling brickbats over the bodies on the lawn. Looking back to the Wayfarer she nodded and followed him as he moved through the door.
