Durga is the only known source of the .wav files or [[Axons]] that told much of the I love bees storyline. From 2004 [[Operator|The Operator]] apparently had a link to the future via Durga, according to the hives.html monologue - indicating that she was spying on Durga, spying on others and that the axon memories are occurring in real time.

As she likes to find things Durga spies on people, people that she picks but for reasons she doesn't understand. She spied on [[Janissary James]] for Jersey, and spies on [[Kamal Zaman|Kamal]] because a part of her knows that Kamal is her brother. She also spies on [[Rani Sobeck]] and [[Herzog]] as directed by Melissa but seems to not be aware of it. At [[James James]]' funeral, Jersey offers Durga to Jan to assist in apprehending [[Thin Kinkle]] and [[Monster Ann]].

Even though she grows a strange, almost familial attachment to Jersey, one thing Durga will not do is transfer Jersey's father, [[Jason Morelli]], to a safer military assignment on Earth. Despite all of her moral and ethical "flexibility", she understands the nature of military duty and will not compromise it, although Jersey wants nothing more than for her to bring Jason home.


However, this may also be because Durga has some knowledge of the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Earth|attack force]] coming to Earth. If this were the case, she would realize that Jason would be safer in the colonies than back on Earth, where much of the population will soon be killed.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the early drafts of the ilovebees story line, [[Jersey Morelli]]'s last name was actually Singh.<ref>[[Archive:Apocalypso Chat|Chat with I Love Bees creators]]</ref> Jersey chose the name Durga after the Hindu deity, [[Wikipedia:Durga|Durga]], a multihanded female warrior goddess. Later drafts saw Jersey's name and heritage change but the Durga name stuck.

*Durga's name actually has a reference to the number 7. The numbers that correspond to the letters of her name are 4, 21, 18, 7, 1 respectively. These numbers, without changing their order, equal 7 in the following way. 4-21=-17+18=1+7=8-1=7.
