About the Fungus Sleeper-As I suggested...that went WAY overboard. I took a workable concept, added a couple cool ones that didn't fit well, then it...sorta snowballed. Sorry about that.
With all the additions, I have less and less to oppose to this idea. To the point that I only have the moral barrier against it now. Because it essentially make us the Borg.
Except that, with the new revisions, we'd be Borg who could (and probably would) return the people to normal.
On another note, the chaos golems.
1. We should give them a machine gun which fires superheated projectiles replacing the flamethrower. Harder for Cold to stop, longer range, and lighter than a flamethrower. Besides, it's a minigun on fire.
2. I was thinking of giving the golems the name Reborn, owing to the fact that they would be empty bodies for our souls to command.
Reposted.
#2 sounds like a good idea, but I'm a bit uncertain about #1...especially since magical flamethrowers don't need ammo.
I oppose the fungus infiltrator things.
its not right. how do we remove them (the spores) afterwards?
The new idea would just affect the lungs. It could easily die and be coughed up, piecemeal, once we didn't need them any more. Also, magic.
i dont like the connotations that putting something like spores has to the people infected, especially civilians. What about children? will we effectively remove their free will? force them to work for us like we would be doing to their parent and other relatives??
It's spies, possible saboteurs, and much less bad than what any of our enemies would do to us.
Its wrong. If we want infiltrators/spies/assassins, breed up and use the Jaras.
Assassins, yes; spies, maybe; infiltrators, Maher's Afterlife no. How the MA do you expect to disguise a Jara as a human?
Its not something a benevolent God would do.
We can't let ourselves be evil, but neither should we straitjacket our tendencies into Stupid Good. We don't have any covert operators which could hide in polite society; this would let us make a massive number of them, and release them when needed.
Oh, and everyone opposed seems to be opposed because we'll take control of civilians. Would you be fine with it if we just used them on enemy military forces?
