[ Just when she thinks she's got Gilgamesh reasonably figured out, he goes and... says all that. Lucy narrowly resists the urge to slap her palm to her forehead.

Still, it's not hard to get what he's saying. She's familiar with the idea of mana -- she's played video games, obviously -- and in his world, there were methods of corrupting the magic within. If it's possible in one world, it's possible here, too. The source could be anything. Someone could have deliberately corrupted their Bios, magically or technologically. If Lucy gets really wild with her theories and go full fiction, it could even be something like negative emotion or bad thoughts. It's probably not that, because if that was the case, her Bios would be wildly corrupted, but still. She's got to think of all the possibilities.

But Gilgamesh is right. They should probably calm the critters before they get too hungry. ]

I don't have any way of manifesting Bios on my own.

[ She bets other people probably do. The people with magic. But for her, Bios only fuels what she could already do with her cyberware, and she can't... produce globs of digital stuff for them to eat. Or.

Wait. Can she?? Could she somehow project a digital frequency at them and feed them with Bios that way? They don't have any way of receiving digital frequencies, though, and she's hardly telepathic. She might have to experiment with that, though. ]

Wanna see if we can come up with something with Synthesis?

[ Gilgamesh would certainly not be supposing bad thoughts/emotions to be the source of the corruption. after all, that could potentially extend to him and others among them in some ways, as well. but he definitely finds himself wondering whether there's any sort of deliberation to these circumstances -- whether someone or something has actively created this outcome.

if so, that would be quite the thing to explore and delve more into.

but, as they have both observed, better to focus for now on the more immediate conundrum at hand. ]

Hmph... well, it does seem an opportunity for experimentation and ingenuity. [ a small smirk touches his lips. Gilgamesh was not much for cooperation per se, but he was a bit intrigued at seeing what they might be able to accomplish with Bios and their native powers. ] Do you wish to utilize my method, or do you have another idea in mind?

[ cooperation could take many forms, after all. ]
