[ Curufin thinks he hears the sounds of lapping and chewing coming from the livingroom. He smiles a little. ]
I'm not surprised if others have suggested it, too! It seems a good approach to the problem. If there are, say, thousands or hundreds of thousands of these Null, then we are a bit outnumbered. But the virus approach, if it could be made to work, would even up the score.
And I'm sure there would be many ways to mess up their systems. Either by screwing up the Null bodies' code itself, so that nothing works, or making that code alter some physical parameter so that it is incompatible with life, or as you say. . . [ Chuckle ] . . . just electrocute them! Zap!
No, of course, none of us knows how they work. Hmm. But I wonder if the gods do? They may not be great technicians, but they did get the Door to work. I guess we'd need more information, and they'd be the place to start.
And also. . . I wonder about the possibility of luring some Null here and capturing them. Then you'd have an example to work from, all right! Or, the other possibility would be persuading the gods to send some of us out into the Void to do the capturing. [ Curufin would definitely volunteer for that last thing. ]
