And here’s part two of Fumiaki’s big revelation. Now let’s see how everyone is going to react. Jacob seems to be against the idea…

Fumiaki: How do you defend against those who attack entire gene lines? By making every individual genetically unique! Plagues fail. Genetic profiling becomes impossible. The very definition of cat and dog becomes peacefully obsolete!
Jacob: And how do you plan to force this on everybody?
Fumiaki: Plans? I don't make plans, I make breakthroughs. Plans make themselves, I assume. That's why they're called plans. Msaka, it may be time to show our guests to the bungalow. It's been quite a day for us all.

“Plans make themselves”?
I don’t know that the good doctor is all there
Well, um, how’s *that* going to solve the declining population?
I guess you could cook up batches of clones or Dahnai-siblings, but you still have to forget about the human race (per the usual definition of species)…
This’ll make breeding tricky.
So hey, what’s this other line leading down from that anglerfish of a bungalow?
I like this doctor more and more… See myself doing much of the same if I was him. :3
Can’t wait to see where this goes. Also bet that the Good doctor has some minor plans of just having allies who’ll make plans when they’re really needed. So he can just focus on SCIENCE all day long.
Actually, breeding would be going on like always-tehy call that beastiality these days-Eeew!
LoL-I HAD to point that out;) Of course, Reproducing is the thing foiled by genetic difference. But never fear- I am sure Fumiaki has that angle solved as he is beyond our feeble brain palpitations:)
So is the bungalow above the buried labs or literally on the volcano rim??? Find out soon!
OH- and I forgot to add- I LOVE his swirly glasses which declare “crazy mad scientist!”
Excellent!
Yeah, Jacob, I want to kill him too.
What terrifies me is that I just know that people, somewhere, are already performing experiments heading in that general direction…
I had a look at the time line, and there’s no record of anyone creating a plague directed at crops or food animals. That’s something of an oversight on someone’s part.
It would also throw a major spanner in Dr Fumiaki’s works if his planet of genetically unique people started starving to death because the wheat, maize, rice and millet were all dying from Lab Blight.
Good point. You just know someone will want to wipe out rice, maize and/or potatoes. And others will want to wipe out pigs. And perhaps sauerkraut, while they’re at it.
No one would dare try wiping out cows. The Hindus would retaliate by wiping out humans.
The timeline only had limited space. 🙂 I did mention the Raptor-Rodent disease, which affected animals, but only because the Genocide Project cured it.
In general, animal pandemics are unlikely, because if a herd of animals gets sick you can kill them all off. Can’t do that with human beings. Plant pandemics, though…that’s a good point. A crop pandemic could be as dangerous as any human-borne disease. Thanks for the ideas.
I’m betting the Doctor is going to end up being another antagonist as well as a sort of contrast to the Genocide project.
At least I think we can trust that the good doctor won’t krill all humans.
Obsolete? C-cat and dog? Cat and dog!?
NOOOO!! Somebody stop this lunatic!
