There's nothing to say it would've produced anything either. Technology doesn't advance like a video game. You don't dump X amount of resource A into a project to unlock the advancement you want. All that recorder says is they believe it might.
If you think that the Fireflies were incompetent and unable to produce a cure, you're wrong...

>>514410612>wishing for miracle to justify all those atrocities and sacrifices means they were competentOP is a fucking retard.Fireflies were incompetent.Marlene lost THE WHOLE FUCKING FIREFLY CREW of city you started in just to get to SLC.>They were a nationwide organization that operated in numerous QZs Nice bullshit pulled out of your ass.>and they've been around as an organization for as long as the outbreak itself, which happened more than 30 years ago at the beginning of TLoU2Already long time disbanded by the time TLOU 2 started.Again, OP is a fucking retard.Also let's not forget that if by some miracle the made cure it would be 99% useless.

>>514410612And what part of immediately opening Ellie's brain makes sense? They want to replicate something that they don't even understand by any past attempts. If she's a cure, then let her be a constant source of study, not one that immediately kills her AND all her metabolic processes in the first hours or days that Joel even got there. They were incompetent user.Even not knowing ANY idea what you're doing, you can move into attempted eugenics/pedigree and try to obtain the results from breeding. Again, the Fireflies were retarded.I remember the surgeon was going to open her brain up as the first fucking choice. And the information you just provided said her MRI shows nothing. What do they plan on "seeing" in her head that will help?

>>514411407>more than 30 years to make a cure and all your hopes land on a single little girl to make a vaccine for a fungusNo. "All your hopes land on a single girl" is a disingenuous interpretation of the events at hand. It would just be another source of data to add to the research. If she failed to produce any breakthrough, they likely would've continued looking for a cure, but with slight more knowledge than before.>There's nothing to say it would've produced anything eitherFair enough, but you've no evidence to suggest that this would've been the case. You have an assertion that they're incompetent which hinges on a number of assumptions and that's about it.>>514411595Shut up, idiot.>>514411817>They want to replicate something that they don't even understand by any past attemptsThey understand it to some extent, but you can't say to what extent they do or don't understand it. They've been researching for more than 10 years, they know something about it at this point.>attempted eugenicsWho's to say they couldn't have preserved her womb and used it to produce children in vitro?>the information you just provided said her MRI shows nothing. What do they plan on "seeing" in her head that will help?>MRI of the brain shows no evidence of fungal-growth in the limbic regions, which would normally accompany the prodrome of aggression in infected patientsIt says "in the limbic regions" not that there's no fungal growth period. Way to just gloss over that.>>514412148k

>>514410612>They were a nationwide organization that operated in numerous QZs with presumably hundreds of thousands of membersThen why did joel have to take her across the entire US? don’t tell me abby’s dad was the only person that knew how to reverse engineer a cure

If you need to open somebody's head with a saw in search for answers, in the process killing the only Guinea Pig with the specific conditions you need, I'm sorry, but you're frankenstein style retarded.A good doctor would at the most make a biopsy to take material for study, but would still let the patient alive and unharmed.

>>514410612Joel living peacefully in 2's intro proves the cure is a practical placebo, and the fact that most deaths are caused by other humans only reinforces that. the fucking zombies are reduced to barely environmental hazards

>finally get your hands on an extremely rare specimen, possibly the only one you will ever see>kill her immediatelyyeah they seem very competent
