As the reaction of Kami towards goo was discussed above, I want to add a detail from the amber cube notes of Nung Horongi (notes to Muang captured and deciphered by homins of the free peoples) about the effect of goo on Kami. Nung stated that, when a smaller dose of goo is applied to a Kami, "the Kami will be free immediately", meaning the loss of the connection with all other Kamis. A higher dose will destroy the Kami.
What is described by Nung as "freeing a Kami" is considered the worst mutilation possible by the Kami themselves, and possibly felt more abhorrent than destruction. From a homin's perspective, it may be considered similar to being muted, deafened and blinded at a time. It underlines the cruel and unethical nature of marauders' experiments with the goo.
And just a note to Mjollren about the document he mentioned: The informations therein are not available to everybody, they are not authoritative in any way and mainly of historical interest. I am not aware how the current developers and CSR weigh the contents of that document, but my impression is that it is considered widely obsolete. For the religions, much of the contents is absolutely blasphemic and intolerable ;). Or, more seriously spoken, It would shake all religion based roleplay to the ground to accept the views expressed there, and I cannot see any constructive outcome for the actions on the planet therefrom. Therefore I would plead to treat it as mere background knowledge of limited use for those who know it.
The basic concept, that the goo is a deadly threat to the living planet which must and can be fought by the homins and the powers, is still valid anyway as it seems to me.
