Chapter 1229 1228 Reorganized
?With so many new vessels and so many losses among the Reaver Companies and national armies, the human military forces were in a state of complete disarray. Every unit was a hybrid made of the survivors of other units that had been targeted by the Great Enemy, while a majority of the long established Reaver Companies were no longer intact.
Most of them had some ships left, but with their hierarchy scrambled with the number of ships crippled, the chain of command was constantly arguing with each other and second guessing the decisions of the ship Commanders who had more senior Commanders among the troops sheltering with them.
Nobody did well with losing their ship, and while the organized military had rankings to keep things sorted, there was a lot of grey area with the Reavers when it came to honours, merits, and having lost your ship.
That sort of thing wasn't easy for a Reaver to come back from, and with the interventions and large-scale battles, it was much more common lately to have your ship crippled, but not lose the crew. So, there were countless Reavers waiting on major overhauls and looking for living quarters until they could be done.
It was an unprecedented state of affairs for the nomadic merchant culture, and dealing with it was giving Mary a headache.
Nico was back, only a planet away aboard her World Ship, yet here she was, sitting in her office doing paperwork and trying to settle challenges between the Reavers in orbit. Unravel the Unknown, Unleash the Unimaginable: N♡vεlB¡n.
If she formed an egg of living metal and genetic material from a second source, then infused it with both nanobots and the energy that had been purified from the energy beings, her data said that she should be able to create an entirely new life form.
Biologically, that should create an actual child, mixed from two DNA sources, and not a clone of herself, which would be redundant, as they would end up sharing the same mind and skills.
Now that she had started working on it, the idea was growing on her. What exactly would a child raised by Nico Tarith from the day it hatched be like? Most likely, it would turn out to be a complete mess.
She had precisely zero parenting skills, motherly instinct, or desire to obtain either.
But the actual creation of the egg was a research project that she was unwilling to let go of. So, the next time that she saw Max, Nico decided that she would have to obtain a DNA sample to see if the egg would be viable,
Maybe she could upgrade it as well. Some built in lasers would be cool, but possibly impractical in the body of a toddler. It was such a pain to have the child's mind start at such a low level that she couldn't even weaponize it. Perhaps there was a way to put in an evolutionary trigger for genetic weapons.
If they only activated during puberty, that should be late enough that the child could be taught to control themselves in advance, the same as any Kepler child who was given a weapon during their first year of Academy training.
Back to the lab she went. She had a theory to test.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
