@Taleya @startrek Is La’an in SNW considered enhanced because of her ancestors? I’ve always been confused as to why she’s not under the ban.
@michaelgemar @Taleya @startrek I'd guess that being several generations separated from her augmented ancestor introduced enough non augmented genes they make any remaining advantage in her genome not really distinguishable from random genetic advantages any person could have.
well by La'an's birth there's been no "interference" with her genetics. I know in Ad Astra she mentions carrying the augmentations, but we're talking what, 200 years of distance. So spitball it as 8 generations. It would be fairly negligible at that point, so I don't think it's a rational fear on her part. It's also highly likely that in the aftermath of the war Earth made damned sure the augments weren't interbreeding, so you get standard human genomes just swamping it out.
Willing to bet that her genes got a thorough going over when she applied as well, and nothing flagged.
