The term '''primer symbiont''' refers to the human host and his microbiom because they are the more important partner in this symbiosis. The human body and his flora are a complete living being while the DC was just made for their support and couldn't exist on its own.
Each symbiosis consists of two or more symbionts. The term '''primer symbiont''' refers to the human host and his microbiom because they are the more important partner. The human body and his flora are a complete living being while the DC was just made for their support and couldn't exist on its own.


So, '''secondary symbiont''' stands for the upgraded biomass.

After the WCG was established, they let labs realize plans to undo nuclear contaminations. [Mention motive here: justification, ergo demonstrating power of collected forces] Their solution was an artificial created [[wikipedia:Mycorrhiza|mycorrhiza]]. That symbiosis of plants and fungi is supposed to absorb radioactive isotopes and store them in a kind of nut. Drones were going to collect them. The hull contained bitters so that animals didn't feed on them. The plant was unable to propagate because their cells, including DNA and its mutations, dissolved after [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140404140403.htm one year]. The time control was necessary because the mycorrhiza would not only clean the soil but also devour whole forests to collect the radionuclides inside non-animal organisms. To accelerate the development, all mechanisms were tested [[wikipedia:In_silico|in silico]] against critical mutations. In the lab it seemed stable enough so the officials pushed for field tests.
When the World Coalition Government took over, they had undoubtedly a PR problem. So in the same year they came up with a media-effective distraction. Laboratories under WCG authority should realized plans to undo nuclear contaminations and present it to the public with the slogan "now we can go everywhere". Their solution was an artificial created [[wikipedia:Mycorrhiza|mycorrhiza]]. That symbiosis of plants and fungi is supposed to absorb radioactive isotopes and store them in a kind of nut. Drones were going to collect them. The hull contained bitters so that animals didn't feed on them.

In nature the mycorrhiza accumulated mutations in an unpredicted way. With the silenced fail-safe measures, the mycorrhiza was able to spread out uncontrolled. During the next years it influenced other organisms. This marked the beginning of the BioCrisis. Since then reclamation teams are fighting back the wilderness and WCG is trying to hide their fatal errors from public. Nobody wanted to take the blame.

:If I remember correctly the following bit has already been presented somewhere on the forums or Oni Galore. Namely that an ''in vitro Daodan'' could be carried inside a box for medical usage. Furthermore it could be like this: You could expose it to doses of negative stimuli such as toxins and grow adapted tissue or organs. Before transplanting the daodanized cells, their ability to adapt hyperregenerate would be turned off. Then it's like bioprinting (a.k.a. [[wikipedia:Tissue_engineering|tissue engineering]]) with normal cells.

:Still, this all sounds not 100% persuasive. And the WCG could easily spread doubts about the ''in vitro Daodan'' to an audience which lacks the technical background which would be pretty much everyone.
:Although there are points to backup an "in vitro" scenario, the WCG could easily spread doubts about such a Daodan in public.

A complete brain simulation seems less necessary if they were just aiming for an ''in vitro Daodan''.

After all, Kerr's saying "We had never intended to implant those Chrysalises" sounds somewhat fishy.

Note to self: merge the critics stuff with "What arguments speak for/against the Daodan?" ?


The Daodan was here and then criticized to be unethical especially by geyser. (But I'm happy he did. That way we have more points of view). He said that with the Daodan a human loses / gives up a not unimportant amount of control over body and mind.
