No more hermits

The next Empire Council was a very lively one. The discussions over genes and morphotypes lasted an hour straight before I put an end to the bickering between Tabletina and Bloodhero—the ringleaders of this argument.

Tabletina wanted Beehounds to get the regeneration limit break so that she could study the process of limbs regrowing. She was hoping to learn how to make prosthetics based on it. She was also hoping that with extra regeneration I might permit Beemarines to volunteer to her more experimental and radical augmentation projects.

The scientific prospects made Researchina stand by Tabletina's side. Worriesgone joined too, but only because of her sympathy for the soldiers who had lost limbs in fights and were forced to take other jobs. Many of them had become Artists, after all.

Bloodhero just wanted Beemarines to get the toughest skin, which would not only make them more defended but also allow them to stop wearing armor.
