Lamb wouldn't call it grift, but her recruitment strategy is grade A flim-flam, an' I just have to tip my hat. She has her people splice a pile o' common genes into themselves...like blood brothers, except it's the genuine article. You die to protect the others - but some o' you lives on in them. 'Collective gene loyalty', they call it. It's mostly a mind game, but it worked to unite 'em...they're all "Family" now.
