Ergo, the usual "banding together to defeat a greater threat" biz doesn't quite work. Instead, I think the wakers would need to maintain a quite thorough "weather service", keeping track of recent attacks and at least trying to figure out where a virus might strike next, in order to plan evacuations and the like. |
"There's also the idea of keeping an eye out for those infected with microviruses, to make sure they don't inadvertently get a whole population of wakers. So when a waker or goup enters a system where other wakers have established a presence, the other wakers would be fairly quick to check them out and find out who they are and what they're about." | "There's also the idea of keeping an eye out for those infected with microviruses, to make sure they don't inadvertently get a whole population of wakers.
