Researcher Notes No. 05

I've come to an interesting thought - one that I don't think the others are ready to hear.
The covenant has always treated imbument as a divine interaction - partaking of the body binds us to a higher power - that kind of thing.
Now, I'm a man of science, so I don't subscribe to the idea of magic or gods, and while I don't fully understand what makes the imbuement process work, there are parallels to what we observe in the natural world.
I think, at a microscopic level, we're seeing something more like a super-parasite. It seems like a host-beneficial relationship of course, with the strength and regenerative benefits of imbuement, but I think the parasite, in this case, is pursuing something larger than just its host.
