Plot[]
A Morto Mollucos, known as a Lazarus Fly by humans, enters the Kurtzburg Memorial Hospital autopsy. It goes directly to the drawer containing the body of Professor Obligado. It begins to feed on Obligado's memories. Suddenly, a group of officers burst into the room and order the Morto Mollucos away from the body. Xitor fires on the Morto Mollucos and shouts for the others to do so as well.
A moment later, a portal opens in the ceiling, and Utroms enter. They order the humans to stand down. Xitor recognizes them as the Utromi Preservi. The Utroms tell the officers that their primitive weapons are useless against the Morto Mollucos, but theirs are not. When they say that they are taking over, the officers disagree and Xitor says they have no jurisdiction on Earth. One of the Utroms fires a shot at Xitor, destroying her blouse and revealing that she is also an Utrom. An angry Xitor fires on the Utromi Preservi and is reminded by them that Utroms do not kill Utroms. One of the Utroms picks up Obligado, while the other grabs the Morto Mollucos. They leave via the portal. Xitor then agrees to discuss what happened over beers with another officer.
Trivia[]
- The title The Raisin' is a double entendre of the title of the previous Professor Obligado story The Grape, alluding both to the word "raising" and to raisins being dried-up grapes.
