The venom potency upgrade was absolutely useless, so the choice was out of two options. To control fire *and* lightning (my chest "slot" was already taken by the electricity organ, but I still had the stomach slot!), or to sting from a distance?
"What a hard choice…"
"The fire-breathing gene will make our future soldiers deadly against humans! Fire is their big weakness," Bloodhero said.
"The ability to shoot our stingers will reduce casualties among soldiers, though. Most of our soldiers die during or right after an attempt to sting someone," Tabletina countered. "Examination of dead bodies from the battles with humans showed mostly crushing damage."
I nodded gratefully to Tabletina.
"Ah, yes, I asked you to gather statistics for Bloodhero *precisely* so we would know what weaknesses to cover in the future. Besides, humans aren't our only enemies."
Nodding to myself, I picked the "Shootable Stinger I" gene and moved to the next attribute point.
