Well, part of it is that I could probably have worded things better. It was late when I wrote that, but I wanted to get it written down while I could.
First, I'm not sure if the beans would trigger a biomod by themselves. Expresso is an extremely limited version of handwavium, and doesn't 'wave
objects like other varieties. It just tends to supercharge already-present mods/strains of the 'wave. That's why I pointed out that the beans only work
on biomodded patients; there's nothing in a normal person for the Expresso to affect.
The second part was because of the discussion that had taken place on emergency biomods. It was pointed out that Fen who worked in dangerous situations might
well forego being biomodded, so that if they were ever severely injured they could have the option of triggering an emergency biomod to try to heal
themselves/stay alive. The non-filtered variety of blood oranges can be used in this manner. But triggering an emergency biomod only works for normals. It left
already-biomodded Fen with injuries with less options. The senzu beans are a way to pick up the load. While they can't biomod a normal, they CAN trigger
emergency-level fast healing in a biomod. It's not as effective as an emergency biomod...but it's a lot better than doing nothing or relying solely on
first aid and the like. I hope that clears things up a little?
