Yes, but what if they was some behind the scenes, intelligence to the
invasion?
The Happening, was it just accident that the Trees found a way to negate a
humans desire to live/survive and not act on dark feelings of self
destruction aka Suicide?
Was it natural and an accident, or maybe a Pandoran like neural network aka
Gaia or what? That directed the attack against humanity? Or at what point is
humanity no longer part of "Nature" (we are never seperate from nature, but
..).. But humanity and its "civilization" becomes a threat and nature takes
steps to deal with it? Deliberate or accidental? Or just humanity pushes
themselves out, such as like a diet, you got to eat of it, but when you no
longer eat, you suffer, like a lack of an enzyme or ..
Or it was an invasion by an alien network or what? Such as Pandora..
Could be a virus or nanite tech gone wrong and escaped and now humanity has
to deal with it? Being able to attack a specific group of people, would make
a terrible weapon, such as one that attacks only persons with a specific
gene? SG1 and the Ancients, to access Ancient tech, you had to have some
ancient genes, so never know?
Some of the above, I suspect can be easy to play in a Gurps or any RPG
world.
Navi and their ability to jack in with each other and other life, hum..
(neural jacking, an old sci-fi idea). Most often for super soldier or like
programs but ...

One need not even look to fiction. Read up on the problem of Eurasian
Milfoil in Minnesota lakes and streams. We have many examples of invasive
species in the Earth's biosphere already, and can use them as a baseline
model for our understanding of potential alien biotic invasions.
