Recording as follows:
"Alright, beginning recording. Doctor [CLASSIFIED] and xenobiologist [CLASSIFIED] performing an autopsy on sample AKG nine. Body was brought to complex [CLASSIFIED] following termination in holding cells at [CLASSIFIED] facility.
Okay, let's see... [ruffle of papers] Male, thirty years old, formerly mister Matsya Mehta before joining the hive. Indian ethnicity, no allergies -heh-, formerly a clerk at Azure Bluff Hotel station orbitiiiing Mars. Yes. Mars.
From a first impression, sample looks undistinguisable from a normal homo sapiens sapiens in an adult male physiology. Proportions, epidermis, eyes look normal. Weight is, however, considerably more than what his body fat and BMI would suggest. We're talking about work medical records of 21.6 for roughly seventy kilos and this guy weights ninety, for a BMI of 28.4. This would suggest a large tumoral growth on a normal human, but we know better.
Now this is where it gets trickier [wet sound as skin is cut with robotic scalpel]. Opening the chest between pectorals, cutting the sternum aside, reveals the symbiote. An insectoid vulva tightly latched to the heart, with almost microscopic tendrils that dig into the cardiac cavities and arteries. The symbiote does not survive host termination, despite being able to prior to the symbiotic bond being established. Bone and muscle tissue are, as you can see, denser than normal and more difficult to cut through.
Here, put the light over here [more cutting sounds]. See the inside? Those little ventral sacs inside this bugger? They hold the substance, jokingly nicknamed 'manyxin', that is a powerful narcoleptic drug, what makes these people such loonies. Places the person under the symbiotes' influence or gesthalt.
Here. Watch this black organ. This is the real deal. The darrameic node is the one believed to enhance the Resonance skill of the host without the need of genetic disposition. Or rather... the node rewires the hosts' DNA in such a way that not only they become stronger but also resonance-capable..."
