[quote][quote]Query:Do Unggoy in Jul 'Mdama's covenant remnant belong to a certain subspecies or are they genetically bred?[/quote]
Query Answer: Human [Lifeworker] records found in accessible [frumentarii] cores do not indicate extensive [genecraft] modifications by [Covenant] [Lifeworkers]. Rudimentary [forensic] analysis of indexed [monachus frigus] geneplan records and [epigenetic] studies recorded by Human [Lifeworkers] show anomalous phenotypic plasticity, in addition to conclusive evidence of strong genetic structure in selected [Covenant] combatants known to be sourced from specific [breeding] zones. This indicates either prolonged genetic drift in refugia populations or induced selection.[/quote]

[quote]ONI records do not indicate extensive genetic tampering of Grunt genetics by Covenant scientists. Quick analysis of indexed Grunts along with human studies show non-standard exterior variability, in addition to conclusive evidence of hardy makeup in selected Grunt soldiers which are known to originate from specific breeding locations. This indicated either prolonged genetic drift in populations existing in unfavorable conditions or induced selection.[/quote]
There you go.

Edited by Fallen Hero: 7/31/2014 1:12:13 AMI more so have a problem with the different armor/ventilator. Seeing the tube go in there nose just reminds me too much of dying grandpa. [spoiler]jk But I don't really care as much about the exo skeleton as I do the face mask. I preferred not seeing their mouth unless I melee'd or shot it off. [/spoiler] [spoiler]I just looked at the picture real good and I don't like the forearms or knee down with the bigger darker scales. It looks off to me.[/spoiler]
