 I'll call this the Books of Ruth.  Intentional irony, named after the
shortest book in the Cannon, see what I did there?

   Sorry if these run a bit long, but 1: She's about the most complexly
invested in character, and 2 she's serially linebanged by all 4 of the
Basiati, at various stages in her life, starting with her mother Christina
Maria "Morion" Lowell-Buchannan in utero.  To explain why I had to take
that Piracy break to move on...

   I'm basically writing this to keep the asides to a bare minimum, or as
much as possible.  Lots of cracks in that forth wall, try to Blink so you
miss them.  So, anyway that's why she hates Cliches, has an unique
perspective on hystery, is congenitally homophobic, and prone to psychotic
thinking, even before she's possessed again, for her first pregnancy.

   Intended to be the culmination/hybrid of several parallel experiments on
humans by Memetic (Morion) Cybernetic ("Lilith") Epigenetic (Eugene) and
Psycho/magnetic {Basiatis} manipulations, to varying degrees of success. 
Basically if the Bene-Gesserit, Tleilaxu, Ixians, and Choam all conspired
on the Kwisatch Haderach project, and stopped at Alia.  Approximately.

   {Well, actually that would make Janeane Alia;}
   Yeah, whatever.
