Did you get authorization from the current DMZ authorities to start placing autotrophic organisms and xenological lifeforms into an ecology that may be made worse by their placement?

Quote:The bones and rotting flesh of dead polywogs poisoned by a film of oxidized tritanium and heavy metal dust... and dead fish that ate the polywogs, and dead birds that ate the fish that ate the polywogs, and dead mammals that ate the birds, and dead lizards that ate the mammals that ate the birds that ate the fish that ate the polywogs - and the bones of Etee and Amsten - will all be lifted into towering technicolor mushrooms denser than rock feeding on radiation and pressure. Eventually. You know, some romantic number, like a thousand years.
So you thought introducing a xenoautotrophic organism capable of creating a wide spread fungal infestation on a politically sensitive planet with no foresight into just how much said fungus could infest and effect the planetary life that SURVIVED the crash was a good idea? Just want to confirm.
Quote:Drop a hundred titans on Caldari Prime, "geologists" notwithstanding, nothing will kill that burrowing fungus short of another Seyllin... oh, silly me. That's where it came from. Well, there you have it. Perhaps if the spores were (re)introduced to their home worlds, in a thousand thousand years they might "alter" ecosystems sufficiently to stitch the planets back together. Now there's a romantic notion!
So you don't want the fungus to go away, but ruin what's left of the planetary ecology. Got it. Thank you for the clarification.

Either that or you're just trying to **** everything up, which would make far more sense.
Quote:The planet's ecosystem has been fundamentally altered already, halfwit. Surviving indigenous life will have little difficulty getting out of the way of the fungal colony's surface expression; and of course, will be bloody incapable of chewing through to the isolated tritanium and heavy metal oxides contained within its core. So because the planet was already fundamentally altered, you thought that it'd be neat to toss in an autotrophic fungus into the mix and 'see what happens' under the guise of cleaning the atmosphere with it as opposed to just deploying machinery that is far safer and easier controlled. Right.
Quote:But do feel free to spin cartwheels in the upper atmosphere to your little heart's content. It leaves such pretty trails.
If you send me your coordinates I can provide a much better show.

Boy you sure lowered your classy self to ad hominem attacks quick their 'miss' Noh. I have nothing more to say. You've done enough for me.

Given politics and the funding for war, this will likely be the first and most efficacious attempt at preserving as much of the regions' biosphere as possible
It's less ethical and more ecological. Simply put, if item A is introduced into Environment 1, how will item A alter Environment 1 for Items B-Z? We're already seeing odd...mutations running around Caldari Prime. How will they react to human life, or the living things that humans can safely eat? How will that be altered? There are just too many possible complications.

This is probably a better solution than anything the Gallente or Caldari governments would have come up with.
Here's hoping you're right. Not much to do now but watch and wait.
