Current Status
When Dr. Tachyon's other human allies returned to Earth, Kelly chose to remain on Takis. She still retains some of the limited telepathy force-fed into her mind during Tachyon's occupancy of her body. Kelly currently lives in the Ilkazam compound, helping Tachyon raise his surrogate daughter. As of her last appearance it is unknown if she carried her second child to term, though it seems likely in light of Tachyon's plan to interbreed the telepathic and "mind blind" populations of Takis. What part Kelly or her offspring will play in future Wild Card books is uncertain.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“Men perceive that equating love and domestic work is a trap. They fear that to get involved with housework would send them hurtling into the bottomless pit of self-sacrifice that is women’s current caring roles.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
