::To me, Daodan symbiosis works as a "leap of faith" (both for an unwitting subject such as Mai and for the "designers" of the project, like Hasegawa - Kerr's "true nature" tirades are a good example). It is much less convincing as "controlled technology" or "calculated risk" - Griffin's failure is a testament to that. The only guarantees about the Daodan is that it will deceive ''any'' expectations - other than expressing the "true nature" of its host (whatever that means) - and elude ''any'' form of control. It can be "invented"/"discovered", but not "mastered" or "harnessed" --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]]) 20:47, 21 May 2020 (CEST) | ::To me, Daodan symbiosis works as a "leap of faith" (both for an unwitting subject such as Mai and for the "designers" of the project, like Hasegawa - Kerr's "true nature" tirades are a good example).

::::Monsters!?? Where!?? No, seriously, which part are you reacting to? If the Daodan isn't 100% man-made, that makes it "more monstrous" somehow? Or it the unpredictable/uncontrollable aspect? | ::::Monsters!?? Where!?? No, seriously, which part are you reacting to? If the Daodan isn't 100% man-made, that makes it "more monstrous" somehow?

::::Either way, if there's just Mai and Muro (and Mukade; and Barabas), that's hardly "everywhere". Or is it the Screamers and Daodans that you're objecting to? Too many sentient "creatures"? | ::::Either way, if there's just Mai and Muro (and Mukade; and Barabas), that's hardly "everywhere". Or is it the Screamers and Daodans that you're objecting to?

::::Mai's "hope of a better humanity" would be the part where she says "Mankind as we knew it is doomed. The Chrysalis will change us all."? And then she breaks a mirror, just to make sure. | ::::Mai's "hope of a better humanity" would be the part where she says "Mankind as we knew it is doomed. The Chrysalis will change us all."?
