Miranda's research claims that the Megamcyete preserves the memories of people who passed away within its area of influence—absorbing them into its own vast consciousness.
We also know, based on our previous encounters with the mold, that people who are contaminated with the mutamycete are connected in a kind of mold network.
If we extrapolate from this, we can surmise that subjects with a strong affinity to the mutamycete should be able to use the network to connect to the memories of the dead within the Megamycete.
It should be possible to verify this theory using the lab's Megamycete sample we collected 16 years ago; we just need a suitable subject, with a proven connection to the mold.
Unfortunately this presents a problem. Our organization's policies prevent us from directly contacting civilians who are infected with mutamycete. Certainly the ethical reasoning is understandable, but it has rendered the confirmation of this theory impossible.
It pains me to think of how much mankind could stand to benefit from this preservation and indexing of human consciousness.
The possibilities of preserving or even reclaiming great minds! Perhaps there's some way of cutting through the red tape.
