Mydepa, Mujib and Stephen
Mydepa was a foot shorter than the ex-president and extremely fit after surviving for five years in the jungle with the Clever Apes. She had no trouble adapting to the Earth’s gravity. Mujib was going to spend several years showing her a few of the things on the Earth.
Stephen had his fifth birthday party on the ship on its way home, although with less apes present than he had expected.
He was relishing the new experiences on the Earth. Tests by doctors and geneticists confirmed that he was exhibiting an extremely high level of hybrid vigour as well as exceptional intelligence.
The Space Cows
The Space Cows were able to go back to their beloved space ship accompanied by their faithful Space Cowboys. However, the ship had been presented with a small group of the Space Cows developed by the Idaltu people for their long journeys. These were even smaller than the Jersey Cows, but it was expected that they would hybridize successfully with the Jerseys. The Space Cowboys would be busy.
