That same night, Erik gave new powers to his friends. He gathered the group in the main room, the one the clones cleaned the most from the monsters' remains, and proceeded.
Erik had spent the entire day planning the distribution of powers with the clones and the biological supercomputer, but of course, he also asked for input from the others. In truth, they didn't have that many requests or wishes; they just wanted to get stronger, something Erik took literally in some cases.
Rick and the clones had collected various powers from the thaids around the area, so he had a good pool to choose from. However, they still came from the relatively weak thaids the clones could kill with their actual strength.
They discussed the powers in detail, analyzing each one, studying their potential in combat and the compatibility with his friends' existing abilities, but in many cases Erik had to modify them, and that needed many DNA points.
