Fear the Old Shroom

The Mycelium Listening Array is finally operational. A significant supply of water has been brought from orbit to sate the ever-thirsty mushroom, and major upgrades have been made to the computing resources. And yet, there is still so much we don't know about the mycelial network. The number of signals traversing the network proved surprisingly low, considering the quantity of information conveyed. The most prominent theory posits that the Fumongus exists across dimensions where distances are not what we are used to. In any case, the Fumongus is in contact with its offspring across the galaxy, and these smaller colonies are able to relay data, which we can then interpret. But who else may have access to this network? There is a lot of data that we were not able to correlate to systems in this galaxy. Our more pessimistic … argue we might not be the only ones listening, and that by reactivating the network we just revealed ourselves to anyone using it. Given all we still don't know about the Fumongus, or about the previous species that tapped into it, it might be best to just leave it alone..
