This article offers a guideline for adding facility specimens, but it's only a guideline! You can add segments, remove them, change the order, or fully change the format as needed! It's not strict. You definitely don't need to do fill out all of them!

--Designation: Histomaja hadassah a61

--Clearance: Level 4
--'''Designation:''' This is where you would write the species' name! For Undergrowth's records, their definition of "species" is a little broad, and any entity capable of self replication is listed as a species with a taxonomic designation. (Often in latin or greek, unless a non-human species has already named it.) This means that their definition of species could include artificial, █████████, or supernatural beings!


--Status: Uncontained
--'''Clearance:''' This is the clearance level required to access the information, the level of security placed on the species, and the physical "level" in the facility where it's stored. It ranges from 1-5 where Level 1 specimens are of minimum concern and may even be allowed to roam the facility relatively unhindered, and specimens on level 5 pose a mass extinction level threat to the biosphere.


--Response: LETHAL
--'''Status:''' This may show if a specimen is contained or not.


--Classes: Archeozoa, Histomaja, █████
--'''Response:''' This is a quick reference for what level of force should be used in as few words as possible, and it's always capitalized. Two common examples are NON-LETHAL and LETHAL FORCE.


--Biohazards: Blood born pathogen,
--'''Classes:''' Generally this area has short tags and other quick details! Not a paragraph, but a few words like "homoanalogia" or "latexphera."

IDENTIFICATION:


Histomaja is a microscopic ████████ ██ "pathogen" constructed of proteins resembling modern histones. Which is to say, the "Spool" around which genetic material is spun within a cellular nucleus. They can be differentiated from human histones by their elongated shapes that split into repeating segments like chain links on a microscopic scale. Cells infected with Histomaja often exhibit bloated nuclei, as the organisms crowd and replicate within the cells; but positive identification by that method requires extensive testing in a laboratory setting. It's more expedient, to identify infected individuals by observable mutations on the macro scale, or by subjecting portions of the subjects body (hair, blood, fingernails) to heated implements to check for independent acts of self preservation. I.E. moving away to escape harm.

The hadassah a61 strain holds on to remnants of genetic material from the ███████ ███████ ████ incursion incident. ██████ ██ ███████ █████████ ███ ███ █████ █████ with ███ tracking codes from the ███ ███████ division's research wing implanted for ease of identification. Hosts infected with the hadassah strain are forcibly impregnated with █████ ██ ████ █████ resulting in vibrant green photosynthetic tissues and irregular "leaf-like" growths to maximize surface area on exposed tissues. In newly infected hosts lesions, rashes, and irregular splotchy skin coloration may occur. Pigments around the mouth and eyes often darken into semi-symmetrical patterns in older hosts.
=== IDENTIFICATION: ===
This information helps drones and facility staff identify the specimen, so it's generally comprised of superficial descriptions, and doesn't contain any information on how the specimen works.


Hadassah a61 hosts may attempt to mimic other hominid, homoanalogia, and ██████ species to avoid detection, so positive identification by heat remains the best option.
=== OVERVIEW & ENGAGEMENT: ===
This is where the nitty gritty of the specimen's biology is explored. It can be used to talk about it's behaviors, what it's capable of, and how to contain it if it should prove a threat.

Following the ████ ██ Salish Sea transport incident, all specimens of Histomaja hadassah a61 are to be terminated by remote incendiary, chemical, and ███ methods. Every object within 200 meters of a verified specimen should be considered infected material for the purposes of sterilization.
=== EXPERIMENTATION: ===
(Optional.) This is where you log various tests. It has some heavy overlap with utilization.

Following fish and wildlife reports in 2006 off the coast of Olympia Washington, Histomaja hadassah a61 is believed to have gone wild in the Pacific Northwest. Teams PNW-L4-STAR-██, PNW-L4-STAR-██, PNW-L4-SCAR-██, and PNW-L5-SUIT-██ have been assigned operation Firestarter for the pursuit of infected organisms in the northwestern region. PNW-L5-SUIT-██ has been assigned to mitigate interference from the The Department of Natural Resources, and the Oregon Department of Forestry. All other personnel are to report sightings to site directors and self quarantine until response teams can be mobilized. Facilities across the west coast of the continental US from 1R PNW, to 3R CAL, BC 6R are to remain on alert for infected specimens until further orders are received.

This is a fantastic opportunity for stories from the Delver's perspective, and great place to show how specimens have changed in the intervening years.

Small victory here. I found my mom's old containment habitat in CAL Level 4. Albeit scoured, sterile, and stripped of any accommodations behinds the old glow lights. Which, admittedly, are much appreciated in the dark. The logistical records in the block's office next door say it was prepped for transport, and I found a journal from a CAL-L4 researcher named Dr.Martin. It looks like regular research notes, but the pages are full of puzzles to measure specimen intelligence. It mentions a coloring book, alphabet blocks, and a plastic doll but if the records are to be believed they should all be incinerated by now.
 
I wish I could have kept a memento... but it's not like I could have taken it with me. Maybe I'll save an image fire in binary to my genome. I just need to find something worth saving.

Later, I located surveillance cameras from within the cell, and watched her play. At first it was almost normal, if it weren't for the sterile plastic bubble they kept her in. At least, it seemed so before I had a better view on my head. Everything from the neck up had been amputated and replaced with a cheap prosthetic. It's clear to me now, they weren't testing her brain. They were testing the Histomaja, and everything unnecessary had been taken away.
 
As far as I can tell, that's where the story runs cold- But I remember something.
 
When I lived in Portland, I stayed at a shrine built in the hills overlooking the city. A week before I left, my favorite foraging spot burnt to ash- and the fire spread into west Portland before the residents there beat it back. The head priest said it was arson meant to deprive them of a vital food source in the coming year, but I don't think the arsonists were after them now.
 
...
 
I'm calling my expedition now. I'm handing this file off to DFR-01.
