Before Kabiliti or Viola could finish reading their stats, let alone figure out there meanings, The Feminine synthetic voice of Fate popped in

|DUE TO THE, QUITE LARGE ADVANTAGE YOU HAVE IN LIFE, YOU CAN ONLY PICK A SINGLE ABILITY EACH|

And then the twins' eyes were filled with window upon window of different ability names.

Some sounded dangerous like ‘Venomous Corruption’ others like “Perfect heal” seemed very useful and then there were ones like “Party starter”.Out of curiosity, Viola read its description and it seems to just summon appropriate party decorations.

Kabiliti: “We’ve got to narrow these down to useful abilities. Fate?”

|YES?|

Kabiliti: “Can we search by category and, or type?”

|NO.|

Viola:” Why?”

|YOU GOT TO WORK FOR SOMETHING|

Kabiliti: “Hmm… ok, Fate. Can we pick later”

|UPON LANDING YOU WILL BE ENCASED IN A 'SAFETY’ EGG TO PREVENT YOU FROM DYING DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES. WHILE IN THE EGG YOU WILL NEED TO USE ITS TENDRILS TO BOTH DEFEND YOURSELF WHILE YOUR BODY ‘GROWS’ AND FEED YOUR GROWTH BY CONSUMING THE ENVIRONMENT. YOU SHOULD ALSO USE YOUR EGG’S “OMINOUS ECHO” ABILITY TO SPOOK PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AWAY |

Kabiliti: “That doesn’t answer my question”

But fate ignored Kabiliti’s interruption and continued

|WHILE INSIDE THE EGG YOUR ‘STATS’ WILL BE BOOSTED 10 LEVELS BECAUSE “”” GLOE””” IS SHOWING YOU FAVOURITISM.|

Viola:” Sweet!”

Fate continued, sounding a bit annoyed this time

|IN ORDER FOR YOU TO HATCH! YOU MUST BOTH HAVE A FULLY GROWN BODY AND HAVE ALREADY PICKED YOUR ABILITIES. THIS PROCESS WILL REPEAT EVERY 5 LEVELS OR WHEN YOUR SEED EVOLVES. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?|

Kabiliti: “Yes. T-thank you, Fate.”

With the new information, both twins came to the same conclusion “One of us should pick an ability now, catch, then protect the other while they sort through the abilities available”

Neither wanted to do it, but…

Viola:” I’ll do it, Kabiliti.”

Kabiliti: “What? No, you don’t have to, we can just-”

Viola:” Nah, I want to.”

Kabiliti: “You know I know you're lying.”

Viola:” Then just interpret it as me paying back a debt or something. Just let me go first”

|DOES THIS MEAN YOU HAVE PICKED AN ABILITY?|

Kabiliti: “Wait a mo-”

Viola:” Yes, Scan.”

|GRANTED. ‘Viola’ HAS GAINED “SCAN”. I HAVE RESTRICTED ITS DESCRIPTION TILL YOU HATCH, BUT I SUSPECT YOU KNOW WHAT IT DOES |

Kabiliti: “Viola… Are you sure you don’t want to look for something better?”

|NO TAKE BACKS.|

Viola:” Yes, I am. This is your rebirth after all. You should be the most prepared ”

Kabiliti: “Viola…Th-”

|THIS IS SWEET AND ALL BUT YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME SO I’M MUTING THE BOTH OF YOU TILL YOUR BODIES ARE DONE.|

20 minutes passed in silence as both Soul Twins worked on their future bodies.

Like their Stat screens, they both got to see each other's body designs.

Kabiliti aimed for her body to mimic the female running athletes she saw in the Pan African Games while making her legs have as many gadgets that could speed her up.

At first, she was worried it was going to be hard but she noticed, that while she consciously didn’t know the intricacies of how human bodies worked, her unconscious mind knew how it should work. So all she had to do was let her mind fill in the gaps.

When Kabiliti looked over to Viola’s body, she was impressed at just how gorgeous she made herself.

“Damn,” Kabiliti commented. It was clear Viola wanted to make the best first impression if we ran into humans first. So if she was going to be the pretty face…

Kabiliti:” I’ll be the mean one!”

20 more minutes passed and thanks to her robotics and engineering knowledge Kabiliti made her body Truly adaptable. Aside from her legs, her body contained hundreds of adapters, plug points and interfaces all capable of being used to control any device she came up with. This way she is the key to anything she makes and anything she makes will only work for her. But she had to hide them… then she looked over to Viola’s divine body…giving a thumbs up and pointing back and forth from my body to hers.

Kabiliti:” What is she- I’m an Idiot. Twins! Our similarities will likely be easier to explain if we look like twins. Then we can blame our oddities on us being twins… Twins are weird right?”

With that justification sacrifices some of her hard work to look more like Viola.

In the end, Viola looked like the pretty twin and Kabiliti, the tough one that loves to fight electrical devices and legos.

Both looked the same, but just with drastically different life choices affecting their appearance.

Both were once the same, but would find out they are drastically different.

And Fate couldn’t wait to watch these two grow. She knows her brother has set up a bias stage for them. But all it takes is a little nudge…a typo… and things become more interesting.
