Team UMO: a theory, for reference purposes

--- Quote from: Tami Seven on March 13, 2014, 01:13:57 AM ---Still, to me this whole planning ahead to produce a Starborn, while I agree that it is a strong probability, has one anomaly -- Thomas. If the UMO Alliance, Lord Raith and the others all planned ahead to create a Starborn...Thomas should never have been born. I love Thomas to death, he's my favorite next to Harry, but his very existence makes no sense.

I read that as Maggie knowing Harry's going to have a very hard life ahead of him whether he succeeds or fails - she seems sorry for all the burdens she put on him in that message in BR - and left Thomas knowing Harry was his brother, and with a message in him to convince Harry when it came up.
Thomas is not a failed Starborn or an interference with the Starborn plan, to my mind. He's planned - Maggie-planned, at least - support for the Starborn. I see no reason to think the plan calls for the Starborn to be the only kid she has - if anything, a safe and healthy birth of a previous child is useful evidence that she can handle that part of it.

I see no need for it. Lord R has the self-control not to let it show for thirty years that he's running on empty; he definitely has the self-control not to have kids he doesn't want.

I think from what we have seen of Thomas feeding, it doesn't need to involve intercourse specifically.

That statement was more to do with Whites in general then LR specifically.
peregrine:
Given what someone (either Bob or Thomas) says about how making a baby is about mixing a spirits to bring a new one into the world, and how the Wampires feed by mingling and then ripping their spirit back bringing with it some of the victim's spirit with it, I can easily see how they can somehow control the process of conception.
