Their society was efficient and controlled by the Conformity Council who enforced the Four Laws. All was well until Helen followed the laws and discovered how her kind were created.
Helen followed the third law, to Expand Their Knowledge, and studied a lessor creator on their planet. Within that creature's DNA she found a second DNA string which described another creature. That information along with artifacts of the lower creatures provided important clues.
Who created them, and why?
Should she use the second set of DNA, to clone their creators?
