: The Wilderness. Normally | This is the elephant in the room, isn't it? Oni never tells us. But one option seems so likely that it blots out all others in my mind: | ||
:: But what do they look like, and what do they do out there? They could just be some flower or something, but it would be more interesting if they were more significant to the altered Wilderness. | : The Wilderness. Normally the Daodan lifeform is nonsentient and lethal, like the plant that killed Jamie, but when grown with human DNA in them, they become accustomed to it and can eventually be safely implanted in a human. | ||
:: But what do they look like, and what do they do out there? They could just be some flower or something, but it would be more interesting if they were more significant to the altered Wilderness, like the tree in [[Nausicaa]] (not to beat a parallel into the ground). | |||
::When I say "like the plant that killed Jamie", I'm not necessarily saying that very plant was the Daodan, but if it was, it sure would explain how Hasegawa discovered the Chrysalis. He was a logical man. Even in his grief, he might have thought to take a sample of the plant with him back to a lab, where he could analyze it and find an antidote so no one would ever die again. He would have found that the plant resisted all hostile pathogens, developing immunity almost instantly. This would have started his Daodan Project. | |||

: Kerr says that the Daodan organism is a hyper-evolved clone. Clones are independent. | : Kerr says that the Daodan organism is a "hyper-evolved clone". Clones are independent -- not part of another lifeform, but a separate copy of it. Also, we're told that the Daodan gets implanted with a donor's DNA, and the implanting of the Daodan into a human was another step that was not originally intended to be taken, but was, at Griffin's order. This indicates that a Daodan clone is very possible. Additionally, it's odd that Kerr and Hasegawa knew this could be done, but would never have actually done it. Was there a Daodan clone out there, made by Mai's dad and/or Kerr? | ||
