World Seed

No matter which of the fifty soldiers I chose to combine, they all had similar problems. Their minds were not completely synchronized, causing their bodies to fall apart as soon as they began moving. My next test was to have three or more combine together, and have all of them listen to the commands of a single soldier. That worked somewhat, but had limitations of its own.

Whenever the soldiers all shared a common element, they were capable of moving almost fluidly, only demonstrating slight synchronization issues. However, if one of them did not have an element matching the controlling soldier, then there was a lag in its movement while it waited for the order to be passed along by another soldier. If one of them did not share an element with any of the others, then it would not act at all.

I considered making a fifty-first soldier, one that was designed to be the leading component in the fusions. However, there was a problem with that, as Lex’s grove had not developed to the point where it could sustain any more than was currently present. So, I could only either alter one of the existing soldiers, or come up with a different method. Looking through my character window, I contemplated to see whether or not I had any means at my disposal to get the effect I wanted.
