 :As far as we can tell, there were [[Quotes/Consoles#STURMANDERUNG_:_Tertiary_Stage|417]]. How many were destroyed? Konoko makes it [[Quotes/Speech#Outro_7|sound like all of them]] blew up when she sent that <s>leet haxor</s> random key-mashing signal out from Muro's base. However, that quote doesn't explicitly say that it was all of them. A more interesting answer for Oni 2's purposes is to say that some ACCs are still working or were easily repaired (besides, this isn't a Michael Bay film, not <u>everything</u> has to blow up). If most of one country's ACCs go offline, and the neighbor country has more working ACCs, you have a recipe for a burgeoning World War III.

-:Well, the tragedy of Jamie Kerr tells us that if those plants start spreading (probably they will, once the bad air spreads to encompass the areas that were protected by now-defunct ACCs), it's guaranteed death to live there. Some may try to burn back the growth a la [[Nausicaa]], and eke out an existence. Many others will flee the areas that are no longer protected by ACCs. They would of course migrate to areas with working ACCs, and there would be a crush of immigrants; lots of fighting and ugliness.
+:Well, the tragedy of Jamie Kerr tells us that it's going to be deadly to live anywhere near those plants, and even when the ACCs were protecting the cities, the area outside the cities was the location of a desperate, [[Quotes/Consoles#BioCrisis|possibly losing]], battle against the Wilderness. So the hostile flora are going to spread with a vengeance. Some people may try to burn back the growth a la [[Nausicaa]], and eke out an existence. Many others will flee the areas that are no longer protected by ACCs. They would of course migrate to areas with working ACCs, and there would be a crush of immigrants; lots of fighting and ugliness.
 '''''How did the public get their Chrysalises? How did society change?'''''<br>
-:It seems unlikely, as noted above under "What is Griffin doing?", that the governments would be okay with the general public having alien (as in, strange, not necessarily extraterrestrial) lifeforms in them, especially since the best-known Daodan host would be the anarchist Muro. So, if anything, only higher-ups and the rich will obtain Chrysalises, either legally or illegally.

-:Besides the occasional purchase of a Chrysalis on the black market, the main solution for the [[BioCrisis]] will be the building of new ACCs. And that process is not going to be quick, that's for darn sure. Inevitably large areas where nations are poorer will get neglected. Most of Africa would die for sure; they may have originally received support from the U.S. and Europe to build the first bunch of ACCs, but when each nation has to look out for itself, Africa will be on its own (this is assuming that Africa's governments don't stabilize and gain wealth in the next couple decades). The overpopulated nations like India and China would suffer the greatest losses in population, but then again, they're probably going to be seriously industrialized well before then, and will have plenty of labor to build new ACCs with. Smaller and less-developed nations will definitely take it on the chin, assuming they didn't already when the original crisis started.

-::So if Africa is left out to dry by the wealthy countries, then black people would be rare in Oni 2? Interesting thought. It would make a black character all the more unusual.
