'm just kidding. You've been doing a lot better, but when things slow up you tend to meta game to try and get it going at the rate you want it to, just need to be patient with the way the story moves, is all.
I brought the elites because I needed suppliers and friends. The Geth are my minions. You have a base full of mary sues and marty stus, I'd say we're on equal terms.
I think it safe to say Dust will employ any means he can to further screw me over in the thread. Cut the crap and accept that what you're doing is impossible.
Which brings us right to the fact that you'd still need a shitload of time to get anywhere near "I think this one leads to rapid cellular division" let alone "Okay, the combination of these 10fifty OVER 9000 different genes on different chromosomes can safely be said to cause his healing factor."
I called godding because it made no damn sense and was complete and total meta gaming. I have an attack ready, I'm just waiting for 2 things. 1) Enough time to go through it and 2) Enough people on to justify it.
Having knowledge and being able to apply it are separate things. Just because you can read a medical textbook doesn't make you Dr House. You need years of training, experience, etc to know even what the fuck the slightest change does. So no, it is still godding.
1) You have no proper scientific facilities. The ship is colony ship repurposed into a war ship. They will not have the proper facilities required for the level of genetic engineering you are trying to perform. Insisting that you do or otherwise is godding. Adding it in later is godding as well.
2) You have no way to test your magical nanites. While they do exist, you cannot just give some rats the magical DNA and expect results. The nanites used in the captain were a heavy dose that suppressed all activity with a high metabolic rate, that equated to super powers. (Super Powers gives a person a much higher metabolism than any normal person) They did not specifically counteract anyone and they had to be constantly replaced. The UNSC used them to keep the Captain in line while they did experiments. They'd allow the nanites to fade out of his system, run some tests, flood his system partially, incapacitate him (aka cut off his limbs) and keep him in that suit. They were testing for a way to transplant the healing factor into other soldiers.
3. The sheer illogical nature of the experiment is butt fuck retarded. Red crystal negates powers while it is either in proximity (via Megafire's crystal) or touching someone (Dust's crystals). Therefore, I'm sure the idea to heat a crystal til it melts and then pouring it onto the captain's skin so that it fuses with his scar tissue isn't all that hard an idea to come up with. Bam, instant no powers.
