>Shroomy has gained 1 Energy >2/4>Shroomy has gained 1 Energy >3/4First comes the gathering of energy. As a Kaiju that’s one with nature, its theorising on the nature of its own plants has been highly accurate. Over massive swathes of surface area, they provide enough energy to rival nuclear reactors, or the natural solar winds that irradiate the arctic poles. It sucks up enough power to store and use for the future. It’ll be able to upgrade its core soon enough.
The meeting is tense. The parasitised, after experiencing the wave of fear and rage, confide in Shroomy that a civil war may be on the horizon. There are many factors adding to this. Firstly, the parasitised are already quarantined, meaning that despite being some of the most powerful people in the country, their movements are heavily limited. They still wield the biggest cudgel, but it’s very possible for the remaining members to declare an executive override, even of the president. The military is mostly uninfected too, with scant few of the total percentage caught up in that initial puffball shower.
Breaking quarantine and forcefully escaping confinement could be a strong political move, but would open them up to violent retaliation. Either way, a heavy schism has formed between the humans, with the uninfected outright refusing to answer the questions or reveal where the missing people are. Even on demand from the infected Javier Milei, they refuse, and to force it out of them will require long injunctions and impeachment processes that Shroomy can’t quite comprehend.
The takeaway in the end is that the political situation is too dangerous to leave alone without constant observation and negotiation. Until a solution arises, taking time to evolve may give things the opportunity to break down. The solution may even be a tax of time, for the uninfected will surely discover things about the freshly reclaimed humans and make a decision in time. Whether they're dead or not.
