I will warn you that the images are not pleasant.
The island of Ireland.
A large landmass in the Atlantic.
There was a supplementary paper that noted the AGGT gene string was being activated by this fungal process and led to giantism with some individuals reaching the size of dogs. Growth spurts of this sort in spiders studied were accompanied by hyperactivity due to respiratory problems and an insatiable hunger for flesh. Twelve specimens that seemed most prone to these symptoms are being flown to the Huugens Spider research labs in Baltimore for further study. Results are not expected to be immediate due to problems Baltimore is currently having with its security.
First thought it was from The Last of Us. Glad it satire for now.
Source pls
No source, its satire
Yes it is actually the ATTG string, we all have a good laugh about that one back in the creepy crawly labs.
When these things “take over”, are they a) causing distress that just makes the host do things it wouldn’t normally, b) taking control by producing hormones that alter behaviour, c) physically taking over the body by replacing nerves/muscles with mycelium and overriding anything the host’s brain is trying to do, or d) taking over the brain of the host itself?
I’m not sure which option is the worst one. Each sounds just like a different level of “your body isn’t yours anymore” hell.
You should read the Children of Time. The second book is something else.
