What happens when nature catchs up

[lordyu]

What happen when coordinators get a simple cold. Nature has a way of balancing
the inequalities. It might not happen but what will happen to naturals when it and if it happens.

I don't get it, why would anything happen to naturals if coordinators catch a simple cold?

[lordyu]

coordinators immune system is super powerfull and a cold the can challenge such of a powerfull system would simply beatup the much weaker natural immune system. there is no cure for a common cold. use your imagination!!

Ok, I was just asking, lol.

But in my opinion, a common cold is just a common cold. The only reason why you still get it is because there's a cold virus that your body has no defense yet, that's all. So to a natural, any new cold is still a cold. If it manages to infect a coordinator then it just means it has adapted against the coordinator immune system, it's not like it's going to start making you cough blood or anything like that, otherwise it'll be too different from a common cold virus that people won't call it that anymore.

You're saying it like the common cold virus had evolved to a different strain of virus to infect the Cordies. Even if the Cordies' immune systems are stronger than of the Naturals, I don't see how a common cold virus would naturally evolve into a powerful disease unless it was genetically-modified.

*Sees umpteenth Rau clone working on super cold* Ahem.
Although, even though a strain could get around a cordie system, doesn't mean it's any stronger. It just means it's something foreign to the system, and it has no current way of fighting it.

Also, Knightmare, you sig only took 3!!!

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you think I meant but this thread is started on the assumption that there is a common cold virus that can affect coordinators. And Fafnir pretty much sums up my response quite nicely:

I suggest you read up on evolution. There are many diseases that change over time and become drug resistance. It doesn't always require genetic-modification.

Not to mention the space whale which seems to have dissappeared off the face of C.E.

Theres always a possibility we could have a space virus. It doesn't have to be manmade and Cordies should be immune to any disease, it just means they are less vulnerable. Any new/foreign disease they'd be equally vulnerable to whether it be from a animal or space.

[idofgrahf]

Um hasn't nature already caught up, considering that the coordinators are a dying race? Their rate of reproduction is dropping quickly and pretty soon it will be lower then their death rates, and all the wars couldn't help them any. I know they were working on a cure but will it make it in time, by then their gene pool would be so depleted it won't matter. That and I think EA banned any citizens from genetic alterations after the war started and probably will continue that bann.

lol I never understood what the space whale is about, is it an alien species? It doesn't seem to have any significance in the story.

[Sety]

The significance is that the first co-ordinator George Glenn was part of the manned flight to Jupiter. Using a early type Mobile Suit used for excavation he found the fossil of a space whale. The first ever proof of life beyond Earth and the biggest news ever. When he came back to earth he revealed he was genetically modified and he couldn't have achieved anything as well if it weren't for it causing the mad rush of co-ords and sudden hatred.

Other than that it was just an interesting note of history and never really had any significance -_-

Maybe they will create a whole series around it

Cordies being sterile after second generation Cordies is not by a disease but by a genetic disorder. Something within their genes prevent the fertilization of the embryo and not being able to have new babies.

I think this is why Talia Gladys left Gilbert D. in Destiny, after saying "I want a baby." There might be a chance that she knew that Gilbert was sterile and met a first generation Cordie to have a baby after getting...busy with him.

I actually had an idea for the third season of SEED, based on a book titled The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. My idea should still be at the thread for ideas for the third season of CE series.

I could so see yet another Al Da Flaga clone yelling "for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee." at a space whale...
