But then you have to worry about it spreading.

Which I don't imagine is a problem for them.

Which is where the idea for the "queen" cells comes in.

Yeah if they could use this to just turn everyone into a furry they would do it in a heartbeat. It may have even been the original plan. But it doens't work that way.

"A biological factory that consumes human waste products and produces the viruses proper."
Wut

I cribbed that from other SF stuff actually.

I am trying to be gentle with how silly that is.

You familiar with nanotech? Grey goo?

Oh Jesus.

Yes, and this is very stupid.

Well it's not part of the story. Just looking for a way to communicate what I'm trying to lay down.

Something stupid.

Lol

The story has potential, though the details don't make sense.

Like them using stirrups when they are both an eeeeviiiiiiil human invention, and the best way to give birth is to squat.

Right, but the point is that they don't know that.

Wut

How could they not know that stirrups are human inventions?

The squatting thing.

Hippies are retarded and even they do it.

They don't know that. They are not very clever or sophisticated.

Well, not necessarily squating, the main need is to draw your legs back.

I'm telling you, without access to modern medicine, this is what people normally do.

I get that.

Also cults can be extremely good at tech, and anti-tech people like Ted and Timothy are among the most sophisticated, tech-profiecient bombers ever.

None of this makes sense, the more I think about it.

Well they were still in prototype phase when I stopped working on it.

But this has been very educational.

They would not be able to do ANY modifications if they were not technologically sophisticated to an even greater degree than the cult that did the nerve gas attack.

Prototype phase? You'd nearly finished the book.

No

This is from a sequel to the book i finished.

The recrants are only passinly mentioned and not even directly in the first one. Just someone refrencing strange occurances and disappearances.

Morons would not be able to do that and not end up shot or in prison.

Especially in a group.

This community would be WACO'd.

(And WACO weren't even kidnapping and raping women and children.)

It's still good though

MAYBE such a community could exist if it was EXTREMELY sophisticated in its technological and opsec capabilities.

The manage the that kidnapping stuff because they stick to the ruall areas of the coast range, and migrate between two states and three different countries.

The Utopia of California is especially lax in regards to following up on missing citizens.
