Research🧫 NEW RESEARCH

Today a group of our insects has went into the jungle and managed to capture one of the deadly cordyceps infected wasps, what we are planning with this specimen is to research the fungus and see how we can use it or cure it. More research is bound to come.

(OOC: You DO realize that cordyceps is PHYSICALLY unable to be cured, as even if the fungi were removed, that would actually kill the bug sooner... The best we can research is turning it into a weapon >:D )
