I may have been too straight yeah, but tell me, is the Basilisk asking the reader to spread them in the backrooms, frontrooms or in the real real world ? Both ?
I've kept that ambiguous enough to let this question surface: Is it all-powerful like it usually is or simply a control-freak limited by the constraint of its own reality ?
It may even be lying for all we know and its "plans" being nothing but a cheap scare from something that isn't more than an edgy sentient informatic being. This basilisk even got the name of the real one wrong…
"Roko" and not "Rosko"
I have however a big issue when I try to put sub-meaning to stuff where I hide them too deep to be understood. I'm pretty sure this article suffered from that.
