The Message: 

..."I'm sorry, Admiral Rae! I didn't invent these flowers, I just discovered them while examining the backgrounds of the Afflicted Children!" (name, description, describe area)

......."Is this the Affliction-cause?"

..."I think not. It's a message, Morse code semaphore. The best thing to do is put up the safeguards and listen to the translation."

(That gets done.) 

....."Greetings! I doubt you know me, and who I am is of no import. I can't save you chickens, you're doomed. But the Eggs! I have set up to save the Eggs!!! That'll work better if you don't interfere, which means you have to understand. Our Finders don't know this code or value human knowledge. But, just in case, it is wisest for me to put this as a parable:

....."Once upon a time! A multinational corporation in a world that never had any chickens found a wild, self-running chicken ranch. They built a super highway next to it, and some of them investigated. Some of those took some home as pets, some others reinvented cock-fighting. One of the pet chickens saw all of this and realized that the doom of the chicken ranch was coming. Soon or late, someone would reinvent KFC and poof! No-one really needs to eat chickens, but it might become incredibly popular. Some controlled chicken ranches might get made, but the fate of Gaia was inevitable. Unless, somehow, the Eggs could be changed. If the Eggs could fly and hide in the wild, maybe the destruction of Gaia would not be the end of wild chickens.

....."I thought about other ways to do this, but I am not Elon Musk, Nicola Tesla, Tyler Vernon, Jake Stonebender, Conrad Stargard, Trent the Uncatchable, Herzer Herrick, Lazarus Long, Michael V Smith, or Clark Kent. I would have loved it if I had been.

..."Don't mess with the Eggs!!!" 

......."Tesla? Musk? Aren't those geniuses in Amerika's past centuries?"

..."They were."

......."Who are the rest of those guys?"

..."Fictional main characters. We tracked them down and have versions of the books ready for you."

......."Have you read them?"

..."Mostly. Entertaining in an immature, escapist way."

......."Do they share a theme?"

..."Yes sir! Individual that looks human, loves humanity, and saves the Earth, or Poland, or History, or the Universe in fantastical ways. None of them are average people in their own worlds, but they exceed at creating and applying unexpected solutions."

......."What is happening to the Afflicted?"

..."A symbiotic air-borne moss, immature but propagating, has begun growing in the air around them. None of it is attatched to any of them, but it moves with them, nothing we do can keep it away or kill it off. It thrives in areas of radiation, vacuum, and strong light. It is sensitive to pressurized salt water. It produces small, brightly colored pods."

......."I've heard it isn't just humans."

..."Correct. Dogs, cats, horses, cattle. No pigs, goats, sheep, or bears. No sea-going creatures of any kind. We're thinking about examining a fresh-water Dolphin as it is given this stuff."

......."Why?"

..."Why not? Research!"

......."You said 'symbiotic', is it beneficial?"

..."There is a wild group of Afflicted Children at Chernobyl in excellent health!"
