With the matter of starvation and the dubious aim of the virus (its target may be to cancel mankind according to some theories), how do you think the hive manages procreation? I think at least for now they would avoid it to keep the load on food resources as low as possible. What’s your take?
Bait taken.
Assuming the hive doesn’t intentionally procreate: All the hive women Koumba is getting with…is the hive making sure they’re all on birth control? A potential plot point is one or more of them becoming pregnant and having an immune baby (inherited from Koumba).
Definitely on some form of birth control, even if it’s just cycling out women as they approach their fertility window?
Given Lakshmi is one of the immune and her son isn’t, I don’t think that inheriting immunity is a major risk.
