Nomad Parasite

[worldstrider]

Curious theory. Perhaps except that ant-like structure or all too obvious reference to xenomorphs and multitude of derivates. Got a slightly different but somewhat similar idea at the moment, but needs time to think about how it would all work together with everything else, and with stuff like power cell. Requirement of "organic seed" (or rather host subject) is tad problematic in context that they existed already before, presumably without a need of "host" specie. Too many questions, too few answers, but that's a normal work environment, a bulk load of most common ones have been worked out so far but plenty still remain to the puzzle. As largely it all moves towards the original DA's concept of Nomads these "infiltrators" are but just a part of the bigger puzzle, plenty of components now. And while some things might remain without an answer at all (after all, being unknown it keeps them mysterious) but nevertheless it's interesting to think about.

Well the human thing DOES raise a question. Did the Dom Kavash create hosts for the Nomads in the past? Perhaps even use humans? The basic form of the Nomads is not conducive to a technological-building society. Small size, limited strength and appendages--the fact that they can take a host shows that they have weaknesses that require another to compensate for.

I like derivative (from nature) as everything is. There are no ideas that spring from nothing. Nature is generally quite efficient in design and is often hard to improve on.
