RE: Green Virus.
Has anyone read Orson Scott Card's novels, "Speaker for the Dead" and
"Xenocide" ? Card writes about a disease (the Descolada) that causes
massive mutations in all the life forms it infects.
************************SPOILER ALERT************************
IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THESE NOVELS, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WILL
SPOIL SOME SURPRISE PLOT TWISTS.
The Descolada massively alters the ecosystem of any world it may
happen to be deposited on, making the world more easily exploitable for
the disease's creators. You can think of it as a slow and painfull
biological version of the "Genesis Device" from "Star Trek II, Wrath of
Khan". As is the case with ST2's Genesis, the Descolada is also a powerful
weapon.
The Descolada makes for a terrifying enemy, but it is not
magical, and it can be fought. It can also destroy entire civilizations
(and species) if it is not fought successfully. It can do much of what
the virus is supposed to do, and Card has already written two novels on
it, working out many of its implications. This might be useful to
someone trying to create Wilds in his Third Imperium campaign.
