The few lucky ones, when their transfers come through, will quickly assimilate into the melting Pot of other houses. In fear of being unjustly shunned and branded with a Euro trash stigma, their Quad origins are forgotten and suppressed. But inevitably, late at night when a shuttle bounces down Mt.
