Though the guardian units are far more resilient than people, they are still composed of a variety of organic matter. Floriocite, copper wiring - every variety of coolant we have attempted to use in them. They are all inevitably vulnerable to infection.

We have been unable to determine how the virus may differ between people and machine. Though it is understood that scientific methods exist which could identify the varying strains in comprehensive detail, we no longer have access to the technology or knowledge that would allow for such study.

There is little option, with the above points in mind, than to continue repair and, when necessary, complete reconstruction of the guardian units. Those who have progressed to Stage II increasingly rely upon their designated units for the potential for a good quality of life; this dependency has led to an increase of the amount of live units at any given time. For the more common afflictions, such as Ranunculaceae and Araceae, active CULU and ARUM units number in the dozens.

Should the spread of Overgrowth continue to increase , we forecast a minimum of ten units active for even the most uncommon afflictions, with units designated to between 20 to 30 individuals currently experiencing Stage 1, and 15 to 20 Stage 2 patients at any given time.

It is recommended that the number of active units be doubled from the projected scenario above. The optimal target would be, at minimum, 50 active units for each affliction at any given time, with undesignated units assisting in island upkeep, rese[ILLEGIBLE]tirely, with little to no contribution required from qualified patients.
