In this chapter, Little Worker, a genetically modified being with wolverine traits, awakens to find intruders—terrorists called the Sons of Dixie—invading Mister Michael's home. The terrorists capture Mister Michael, his wife, and their morphs, intending to use them as leverage, but Little Worker ultimately kills the intruders using her inherited animalistic abilities, saving her charges. The chapter explores loyalty, identity, and the tension between human and bioengineered entities in a politically charged environment.
