:Broken into pieces by infighting and panic over Cataclysm; some of them are supplying arms to the nations as they rebuild their militaries in preparation for a possible World War III. One piece (Muro's surviving cronies) has the data on use of the Chrysalis, and is trying to sell Daodan-powered super-soldiers to some unscrupulous country as a private militia (of course they won't actually share the data on how to produce Daodan symbiotes). This might even give them the edge they need to become the main branch of the [[Oni2:Neo-Syndicate]]. They might use their private army to seize control over a whole nation or two. Heh.

: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. | :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.

:It seems unlikely, as noted above under "What is Griffin doing?", that the governments would be okay with the general public having alien 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. | :It seems unlikely, as noted above under "What is Griffin doing?", that the governments would be okay with the general public having alien lifeforms in them, especially since the best-known Daodan host would be the anarchist Muro.
