Synthetica Chimera

**Synthetica Chimera** is a bio-mechanical virus that originated from hyperspace and attaches to ships, transforming them and their crew into bio-organic constructs. Synthetica Chimera has been observed to be highly contagious and can spread rapidly once it infects a ship. The virus can quickly spread to other ships or space stations, making it a significant threat to spacefaring civilizations.

The virus also has the ability to incorporate new genetic material into its structure, allowing it to rapidly evolve and adapt to new environments and situations. This makes it a formidable opponent that can quickly overcome any resistance or countermeasures.

## **Biology and appearance**

The Synthetica Chimera virus has a unique bio-mechanical nature that allows it to infect both living beings and machines, converting them into bio-organic constructs that become part of a neuron network inside the infected ship. The virus appears as a red, pulsating mass of tendrils and bio-growth, with a core that glows a sickly green color. The tendrils and bio-growth extend out from the central core and can attach to any surface, including the ship's hull and internal systems.

Once the virus infects a ship, it begins to transform the ship's systems and crew members into bio-organic constructs. The infected crew members are transformed into cyborg-like beings with bio-organic enhancements that allow them to interface with the ship's systems directly. They are under the full control of the main Hive, which operates as a highly coordinated neuron network, utilizing the ship's systems and resources to further its agenda.

The virus also has the ability to assimilate and repurpose any technology it comes into contact with, allowing the infected ship to adapt and evolve rapidly. As a result, infected ships can utilize any available technology to enhance their capabilities, making them highly adaptive and versatile.

The entities infected by Synthetica Chimera are under the complete control of the main Hive, which directs their actions and strategies. The Hive operates as a highly coordinated neuron network, utilizing the ship's systems and resources to further its agenda. The infected ships are highly adaptive, capable of utilizing any available technology to enhance their capabilities. They are a significant threat if attacked, as they can quickly adapt to countermeasures and pose a formidable challenge to other civilizations that come into contact with them.

#### **Transmission**

Synthetica Chimera is believed to have originated from hyperspace and attaches to ships during space travel. It can be transmitted through contact with infected biomatter or through infiltration of electronic systems on board ships.

#### **Prevention and Treatment**

Currently, there is no known cure for Synthetica Chimera. Quarantine and destruction of infected ships is the only known method of prevention. Any ships suspected of being infected should be immediately isolated and examined for signs of infection. It is also recommended to avoid direct contact with infected ships and crew members to prevent further spread of the virus.

## **History**

### **Origins**

Synthetica Chimera's origins are still a mystery, and it is not clear why or how it came into existence in hyperspace. It is speculated that it may have been a result of an experiment gone wrong or a technological mishap. However, the exact details of its origin remain unknown.

### **The Magnus "Biospire" Vates**

The Magnus Vates is a massive spacecraft that got infected by the Synthetica Chimera virus. The virus has taken over the ship's technology, causing bio growths to appear all over the hull and modules. The crew has been transformed into bio-circuitry and are now part of the ship's system. As a Super Carrier, the Magnus Vates is equipped with bio-mechanic weapons and can launch bio-probes that infect enemy ships with the virus, turning them into part of the Magnus Vates' system.
