Chapter 7

This chapter provides a detailed exposition of genetic replication and classification practices at Reseune, focusing on various azi gene batches with distinct intelligence classes and behavioral traits. It highlights the challenges in tape design for high-intelligence Alphas, the use of womb-tanks replicating natural pregnancies, and the experimental efforts to improve genetic tapes. The chapter also discusses the broader context of genetic exchange programs between Cyteen and Earth, terraforming efforts, and the preservation of genetic diversity across species.
