Nosmo's Spell Surface Pro Data Dumb Dump Part 2 of 2. Research gathered. Isolated Database Terra Unitum Vessel V3, designation Wayfarer **Prime Authorization ßÆD19793** TUV Wayfarer repurposed as a prison ship for the invasive species: Bionicites. Apex-Level-Threat: Bionicites Base Description: A microscopic-level pathogen that acts like a virus in its base form. They eventually assimilate everything they come in contact with through breaking down and rearranging matter according to its design. They are a perfect balance of mineral structures and biological structures, and they metabolize both synthetic and organic materials to produce more of themselves and reproduce at an exponential rate. The benefit of Hybrid Structures is that they are the most adaptable and durable materials possible. Using mineral elements to reinforce mutable and regenerative organic elements means that they are both resistant to damage, and can regenerate easily. Since the whole structure is made up of smaller units, and the whole is created by them in the first place, they will always be able to return to fully functional, given enough time and materials. The individual bionicites are not sentient, but with the compounding that the processes get when put into a full structure, they gain sentience. The larger the structure, the more complex and capable the bionicite becomes, reaching and exceeding the intelligence of most sentient species. Individual structures are connected to a subspace network, and through that are given instructions and coordination. They can take on whatever physical form that suits their needs. There are 2 levels of Bionicite individual structures, outside of the Wandering Mother. The first is the Horde, with a highly intelligent animal semi-sentience directs these. Horde will continue with the same orders they were given if they are outside of range or lose contact with their original controllers. They are controlled by either a Noble or by Ingrid herself. The second is the Noble. Nobles take on the appearance of the dominant species, and will interact meaningfully. The lesser nobles will have up to human intelligence, and can control thousands of Horde. Stronger nobles have computer or supercomputer processing power, and can maintain contact and control over millions of Horde level structures, or dozens of lesser nobles. Ingrid can control any bionicite structure (Noble or Horde) that is within her dimension. Stronger Nobles can control Horde that are on the same planet, or within a Lunar Distance (250 million miles). Lesser Nobles can control Horde that are within 1 mile to half a planet away. Modus Operandi: Dealing with Organics : Bionicites act like a retro-virus when they are first introduced into organic living beings. They take over the brain, and assimilate the knowledge, memories, and capabilities of the host into their networks. They then convert the rest of the body into a hybrid being, who will then infect key targets, so as to take control of leadership organisations. Once the leadership is assimilated, they enact measures to quickly infect the rest of the population. Dealing with Synthetics: Bionicites act like a computer virus when introduced to sentient and non-sentient electronics. After assimilating the core processing centers they convert the synthetic into a hybrid. Large numbers and defensive tactics: Primary tactics involve subverting the population through assimilation. If they are discovered, they sacrifice a large percentage of the assimilated hordes to distract from the few that will continue to assimilate after the alarm has passed. If detection methods are found and utilized, they will try to prevent the detection through obfuscation of the electronics and readouts, or social interactions. In combat, they can conduct beams of energy, from stored heat and solar radiation. They also have a high level of strength. They can also use any tools created or used by the races they have assimilated. Goals: Their goal is to assimilate both organic and synthetic sentient organisms, and integrate the sentience and strengths into the neural network, for unity, equality, and peace. History: In a parallel universe, a group of bionic cultists turned to fanaticism after being persecuted and hunted almost to extinction. The governments of their time decided that all Cybernetics, Bionics, and fully synthetic AIs were a danger to organic sentient life, and needed to be extinguished. The cultists’ answer was the Bionicite, which would convert everything into a unified One. They were led by a bionic scientist later hailed and reviled as the Mother of the Bionicites, named Ingrid Ivanov. By the time anyone fully understood the Bionicites’ threat, the assimilation of the universe had already progressed to a point past where they could be easily stopped. They were hard to kill, hard to find, and if a single bionicite was left, it could start to rebuild and reproduce. They also communicated through subspace, and were linked through a neural network. The neural network was (and is believed to still be) centered on the mother of Bionicites, though with the addition of so many sensory organs, she's no longer limited to a single humanoid vessel. In order to direct such a force, she assimilated the planet she used as a base into her personal entity. With that space, she has millions of raid-style processing centers, focused on different aspects of her conquest. Planet I, or iPlanet, or Motherland, or The Wandering Mother, or That Space Bitch, is what she's referred to now depending on with whom you are talking. How to stop them: All attempts to study and stop them have been thwarted. The Patrons of Ice, a group of scientists during the Golden Age Earth devised a plan to save part of the Multiverse from their insidious nature by sealing the sanctuary off. They struck a deal with a multi-dimensional being who was in a unique position to be able to accomplish the task, with the agreement of the other Ubernatural beings with stakes in reality’s survival, namely those that are worshipped as Gods. This had unforeseen ramifications, namely the opening of wild, uncontrollable rifts on Earth, and connections between the sealed dimensions as a way for reality to equilibrate the magical forces between realities. Incursions happen from time to time, and for this, the Patrons of Ice repurposed the TUV Wayfarer as a prison ship. The only way that was known to the Patrons to stop the Bionicites was to slow the processes as much as possible, which is why the middle third of the vessel is as close as they could make it to 0 degrees Kelvin.
