As long as we're wearing a VR headset, it thinks we're its children. It talks with us in the voice chat and we all play along. We've seen what it does to people who have their human heads on show and nobody wants to end up like them - reddish pulp that still clings to Mother's limbs.
While it thinks we're its children, not just people who happened to be testing a new VR kit around the time that Mother landed, we're safe. When she realises that her kids burnt up in the atmosphere and rain down on us all as a faint drizzle of ash, we'll be doomed.
She's not bad as far as mother's go. She thinks we're playing around when we eat food (I mean we're pretending that we're pretending to eat but that's neither here nor there) and its hilarious that we bathe and sleep and duck behind trees and into empty buildings to pee.
I don't know how long we can survive like this, sooner or later someone's going to get hurt and bleed and she'll see the blood and know we aren't her real children and she'll crush us all. But until then she's our Mother and we're happy to follow her around our new home.
