AnswerText:	The fungi rot is now fully effective upon the meat! Momo would be able to properly infest and dissolve a fair bit of it (limited now by the sheer scope of the task... there's a city-sized amount of meat, even the most productive of fungi will take time to eat through it). <br><br>Rotting up the connections to the trapped people is also effective- though he'll have to be careful while doing it, as everyone connected to the meat is relying on it to some degree (like being hooked up to life support, except the life support is also slowly incorporating its patients into itself). So he could kill people by freeing them (or end up dissolving parts of them that have become indistinguishable from the meat) if he's reckless.<br><br>But it's definitely possible, and there are people who are more superficially attached, and more readily saved- or at least separated from the flesh. None of them are waking up, even if removed....<br><br>If Momo found a prior fungi-host among the meat victims, the fungi would still be present within them. The headspace of their host is a strange place- as there's activity <i>present</i>, but it feels like static, something scratchy and discordant. It also gives the impression of being on the edge of something <b>immense</b>. Something city-sized; whatever's going on, their minds are connected with the meat, and are as good as one with it. Momo's old spores are otherwise oddly dormant. They can be read, they're still a part of him... but they're also a part of something <i>else</i> which is far bigger than him. They've become a bit disloyal in that regard, after all this time melding with the Phenomena. <br><br>(New spores applied to the meat will act appropriately, as noted above. It's just these old ones that have been lulled and broken down into joining with the meat hivemind.)
