I love it! But don't let the Xim find out you can change genes so easily, or that you disapprove of cloning. They'll flip the fuck out :lol

Yeah, I thought about that, and about the Namilee perception of cloning. Cloning, at least, allows some [i]semblance[/i] of normal growth, at least if it's used to create youth instead of adults. But the question the Namilee have for cloning is what its [i]purpose[/i] is. They don't need to conquer, and they don't feel a need to populate the universe with their people, so cloning to them is just... weird.

But replicating people entirely? That's even [i]weirder.[/i] And they have the capability to do so, and to clone, but they're avoiding both because they're not certain of the purpose or of the ramifications of each.
