: | : 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. | ||

: | Three parallel thoughts: | ||
:: So black people would be rare in Oni 2? Interesting thought. It would make a black character all the more unusual. | # It's 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've always received token support from the U.S. and Europe, but when each nation has to look out for itself, Africa will be on its own. Most of the overpopulated nations like India and China would die; their governments don't have the funds to even think about supplying Chrysalises to over a billion people. Smaller, better-developed Asian nations like Japan could handle the matter a lot better, although certainly there will be deaths everywhere that an ACC suddenly fails. | ||
:: 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. Also, most of Africa has always been in turmoil between the bad government and the tribal hatred, so the [[BioCrisis]] would make the continent an absolute powderkeg, at least outside of South Africa, which has generally been more stable than the rest. | |||
# We shouldn't assume that more ACCs can't be built. Perhaps this is what the nations are focusing on, because of the difficulties with Daodan work. | |||
# The richer nations will be in upheaval because the high-ups will get theirs first. | |||
