The Giten needs energy to survive and grow, it’s necessary that it consumes as much as it can so it can of course grow as much as it can. However there comes a point where the Giten decides that it doesn’t need to use this energy to grow, so instead it stores it away. This stored energy can be used for really anything, usually it’s used to grow more in the case that it can’t get a good supply of energy, but more often than not the Giten weaponizes it.

A single days worth of energy, if a Hivemind is rooted into a planets core, which is usually one of the first things that happens, can be transformed into a weapon. What kind of weapon? Depending on the amount energy exhausted at once it can range anywhere from a shockwave, EMP, or a temporary tear in space and time that sucks things in. Most of the time it will result to the shockwave, unleashing energy in powerful pulses and knocking people or vehicles back, even knocking close flying vehicles away. This shockwave makes it incredibly hard to contain the Giten, being as it can easily decimate its enclosure if it so chooses.

If a very old and very powerful Hivemind, such as an eldermind or the Godmind, needs to get rid of a bunch of attackers quickly it will exhaust a lot of energy and create temporary tears in space and time which can suck in anything around it. This is almost entirely exclusive to the more powerful minds in the Giten hierarchy as this much energy being exhausted can potentially kill or seriously harm a normal mind.

Attacking the Giten at close range is bad for many reasons, and this post clears up why. Of course there are other methods that it does use however these are the methods that make use of its stored up energy and were way cooler than just a typical melee attack.

I will soon post about the infection, possession, and the purification process next as it is one of the most crucial keystones for the Giten and figuring out what it really is.
