I've been wondering whether immulsion isn't some sort of living organism. That might explain it's ludicrous mutagenic effects on locust species and the reason for the locust's attack on humanity: the immulsion is defending itself from humanity and, in a stunning feat of logical acrobatics that only a brainless goo could be capable of, has done so by attacking its locust neighbours, driving them to the surface and creating the lambent.
