799 Genetic Oddities

Nico smirked when Max mentioned his genome but shrugged. 

"My knowledge in the field isn't all that great. I only learned the parts that were relevant to modifying myself." 

That was clearly obfuscation and not even a good attempt at it, but Max was too engrossed in what he had found to call her out on her lies right now. 

"Well, from what I see here, the basic human genome is all still there, but it has been augmented with samples from what looks like another species. It's not one that I am familiar with, but it looks like the Demon Droids that you made in our last lifetime, those modified sex bots that could procreate with nearly anything that walked and assimilated the best of their genetic material. 

This modification is a rapidly adaptive one, designed to help the body adapt to new conditions, much like your Demon Droids or the early human settlers who hadn't mastered terraforming used on themselves.
