Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying.

It may be important to note that when Girii says ‘us’, she means herself, two other deviants, and a A.I. gone rogue.  But when you’re an empath, assembling an army can be as easy as making a video call…

Girii: Let's say you retake Senegal. G.U.S. will just take it back from you. But if we capture the Genocide Project, we can demand equal rights for genetic deviants like us.
Msaka: That's still a mad plan.
Girii: It's the only plan that might work. And only if you fight beside us.
Msaka: General Sakut.
Sakut: Yes, ma'am?
Msaka: Girii can plant empathic suggestions in anyone who looks at her. Did you see the screen at all?
Sakut: No, ma'am. By your orders.

    I thought Giri’s empathy powers were based on some kind of pheromone transmission: http://www.genocideman.com/?p=70

    It’s more based on body language and subconscious cues. As Fumiaki said, her real power is mind over body — her emotions are on display, amplified, and tuned however she wishes.

    Animals are great at that…For instance, the dogs just told me to go do the vacuuming by just looking at me(they want to get out of the house!)
