With the latest gene additions, I had 51 gene points for regular morphotypes and 102 points for my own. Or, since I couldn't remove the already existing abilities… Just 5 and 10 points I could assign, respectively.
I stared at my list of genes, knowing that I needed to put at least 3-5 points into telepathy (enough to get the mind reading), but also wanting to put as much as possible into flight speed (gotta go fast!).
'System, can you tell me what my upgraded abilities do before I put points into them? You know, to make my life easier and save me from having to put a point, save morphotype, and look at what it gives me now?'
'Damn. I take my words about you getting better back.'
I had to do it the hard way.
The first two upgrades just improved my range of sending thoughts, but "Telepathy IV" finally gave me mind reading—at the range of touching.
Useless.
I upgraded it to "Telepathy V", and went to check out the scaling for flight upgrades.
