[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband correctly pointed out that they're not consistent.  If the collective becomes violently ill/injured/dies when she yells at them, or if they all cry when one of them (Zosia) is sad, then they would all have been affected by the drug she gave Zosia.  But they weren't.  [/quote]

They don’t share one body or nervous system. When one dies or gets injured they don’t all suffer.[/quote]

And yet when someone yells at one of them, they all get violently ill and/or die.  So it’s not consistent at all.[/quote]

Have not finished the thread but my feeling is that it has something to do with her incomplete joining. And it is why they are so desperate to keep them happy despite not having any other clear motivation to help the survivors. They don't need them, they lose people all the time within the hive and seem apathetic to it, they aren't going around serving animals, but they go to great lengths to attempt to impose calm happiness on these twelve people. Perhaps they ARE joined in some way, not fully integrated into the hive mind and controlled by the hive mind but still connected to the web via their DNA connection. So in that way large painful emotions felt by those outside the hive can impact the group through its connection while all the people in the hive are being controlled by the forced 'peaceful oneness'.

And they do explain the drugs Zosia explains that she can get drunk but not everyone will before Carol tries the drugs, its what gives her the idea.

Love the AI parable thoughts I had not thought of that. Although I refuse to use any AI much to the amusement of people who know me so perhaps I hope I would be the Carol in this situation![/quote]
