of them ....THOUSANDS!
21 The Voice asked The Lord God for an explanation, but The Lord God
would give him none. "If you take native wives," The Lord God answered,
"why can't we? That is our own business."
22 The Voice could find no argument, not knowing what The Goddens were
up to. Twelve years later, when Workers began to appear in their fields
that resembled the natives but were very different, The Voice realized
what The Lord God had done. They had taken selected genes and implanted
them in the children of the native women.
23 These children were now taller, their beautiful, dark skin replaced
by almost colorless pale skin, through which the veins and arteries
sometimes showed. Their dark hair was now light, some almost white,
others a golden color, or, red , or a light brown. And where the
natives were cooperative and helpful to one-another within their own
societies, these people were naturally quarrelsome and rude.
24 As they matured and were mated with one-another they bred true,
producing likenesses of themselves. It was apparent The Lord God
planned to produce many of these creatures, for they were still trading
for native females.
25 "I don't like this," complained The Voice, as The Godden Work Force
became larger with each passing year. "The Goddens are beginning to arm
these people with our type weapons. They have the intelligence to use
them, but not the wisdom. Already several times they have
raided native villages supposedly against the commands of their
masters, killed or drove off the men, molested the women, and taken
whatever they wanted.
26 From now on we put Guards in the native villages and monitor the
flights of their crafts. If The Goddens will make no effort to stop the
butchering, we will!"
