Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alone, no." He said, and let his answer hang for a few moments, before they entered the lab, "But with help from something long-forgotten, we might. It will be close, and we will need your help, and I will have to call in all my favors, we might just stop them, and possibly cripple or dissolve the Kore."

Johachim hit a panel of lights on the wall, a series of liquid filled tanks revealing two sleeping figures, a female with light silver skin, the other a male with a dark, brilliantly lustered bronze.
"I separated the human gene in the first batch of clones from what was left. This is the gene than was hidden inside of the mixture. I was lucky- the specimen that left this sample was first generation, getting the core chromosomes to reconfigure the gene was difficult, but it was complete enough to give me the original creature."

"Such a cliche term for that practice. But, yes, I have. They are ageless. Simulated tests of lifespans put them somewhere in the range of hundreds of thousands of billions of years for a lifespan. A incredible higher brain gives them several psychic functions. Prodigious physical strength as well as a handful of other talents I do not fully understand. This batch of beings will be free-willed, able to grow, think, and learn their own way, instead of the programmed zombies I gave the Kore. the ability to think and learn should be useful in dealing with the Kore and their clones and fairy tale river stone."

"I can't control them. I have opened Pandora's Box. I created them with every intention and knowing I couldn't cntrol them once they were releasesd. But neither can the Kore." Johachim paused, and sighed.
"And yes, that did occur to me. My hope is that the galaxy, so much a smaller place than it was a few hundred years ago, has something that can naturally keep them in check."

"I have a few thousand more growing now, each with a small set of chromosomes changed, to prevent inbreeding. I am going to seed them on different worlds, communities of a few hundred or so, and then rally them to our cause. I will have a another set, five hundred or so, that will remain here, the community that will grow on Osis, and I will speak with them myself." He replied, straightening his glasses, "Selling them to the Kore was an unforseen mistake."

Syx glanced over at Hattie, "I'm confused, what's going on?"

Eric gave Pendari a innocent shrug, before running up the ramp onto the Rioreet to talk with Hattie.
"Stay here, Hattie. the Cap will deal with them."

Johachim sighed, and turned to Ora.
"A few thousand. A small amount, terribly small. Particularly in comparison to the seven or eight trillion humans in the galaxy. Less than a thousandth of a percent will be these beings. Natural selection is real, and humanity's ability to circumvent it is the reason were are the dominant force in the galaxy. There are SO MANY of us. A few thousand demigods in the face of a whole galaxy's worth of lessors. If my children grow... Unruly, they will be a dead race once again."
