Pod infector: Difference between revisions

==Overview==

The Flood Infection Form appears at first glance to be repulsive but harmless,  but once it gains physical contact with a biological host it becomes very dangerous. Small tentacles underneath its "body" penetrate the skin, tap into the spinal cord, and unleash an attack on the host's nervous system via direct contact with the spinal cord. Once this is accomplished, it rewrites the neural pathways of the victim's brain with it's tendrils, forcing a resonant frequency match between its neural signals and the host's. Then it releases the [[Flood Super Cell]]  which overwrites the host DNA and causes rapid mutation. The creature being infected during this process is still alive but has no control during this process. After this is accomplished, it starts to edge its way into the body, liquefying the organs to create the tentacles on the left  hand from the calcium obtained and finally nest itself within the chest cavity of its host. After liquifying the insides, it will begin to liquify the outside body to harden, making a very hard "carapace". If a match cannot be obtained, the host will be left alone by the Infection form, but it is most likely that the Flood will kill it (if it is not already dead) and save the host's body for later sustenance.
