Talking with an almost three-minute delay with Whisper was really inconvenient and slowed things down by a lot, but I thought this was a price worth paying.
Picking genes was a nice introduction to Whisper's new role. Later Bloodhero would pass Whisper her new responsibilities, but this would take much longer.
The first four gene picks were really straightforward, and the Council (and myself) agreed on them almost unanimously, and even Oracle Undecided couldn't give any worthy advice today. This was the usual case when I only had enough luck for *one* decent option of genes.
Again, I began spreading my attribute points equally, starting with one of the lowest attributes: defense. A lot of stuff in the defense gene pool was useless to the extreme, at least now—like "Radiation Resistance" which I rolled on this pick.
Oh, I was sure it will be more useful one day when someone *actually invents nuclear power*!
