Molecosmian

Molecosmians were intelligent microscopic life forms that lived symbiotically inside the cells of all living things. When present in sufficient numbers, they could allow their host to detect the pervasive energy field known as the Cosmius. Molecosmians counts were linked to potential in the Cosmius, ranging from normal Human levels of 1,200 per cell to the much higher levels of Zêirí and No'med. The highest known molecosmian count—over 11,000 per cell—belonged to the No'med Asolas Danatheon, who was believed to have been conceived by the molecosmians.
Molecosmians counts were measured through a highly-sophisticated blood test; the Lux Republic used this method to locate the Cosmius-sensitives to help with defending against the Ghost Empire.
Studies of molecosmians occurred among those who could master the Cosmius and those who could not. While medical teams worked to understand the relationship between molecosmians and the Cosmius, Zêirí performed their own studies of the organisms.

Molecosmians were intelligent microscopic life-forms that served as organelles within all living cells, existing in a symbiotic relationship with the beings they inhabited and comprising a collective consciousness among themselves. Present in all life, molecosmians were isomorphic on every planet that supported life. Molecosmians, in fact, were necessary for life to exist. They also allowed for a connection with the pervasive energy field known as the Cosmius; in sufficient numbers, molecosmians could allow their symbiont organism to detect the Cosmius, and this connection could be strengthened by quieting one's mind, allowing the molecosmians to "speak" to their symbiont and communicate the will of the Cosmius. Counts as low as 1,500 molecosmians per cell provided no sensitivity to the Cosmius; an average Human had less than 1,200 per cell, while a mildly Cosmius-sensitive being such as Will Wilkins had a count in excess of 3,000. According to No'med Shadow King Asolas Danatheon, a being born of "pure power" might have a count of 10,000 or more, implying that most Cosmius-sensitives did not have a count that high. Anjo'nian Zêirí had especially high molecosmian counts, and of them, the ancient Emperor Iêíros was said to have the highest ever recorded at over 17,000, even higher than the powerful No'med Asolas, whom had 16,000.
== Study and analysis ==
Molecosmians could be detected through a highly-sophisticated blood test by using Tirinite technology to measure their concentration in a being's red blood cells, though such tests were not perfect and were prone to fault. Molecosmian tests were part of a standard medical check-up, recorded in a blood analysis. From at least 1974 to 2028, blood tests for molecosmians were the primary way by which the Lux Republic found Cosmius-sensitive individuals.
