and blah blahblah and so on there is tons of info on this i can rmember the exact process but you get the point
Yup... That's the key... Each marine produces TWO gene seed, not just one. And though it is usually done when dead, it is technically possible to remove the progenoid gland while they still live. And this begs the question.. If that is the case, and an Apothecary did so... Would it regrow, and make 2 new ones?
