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.

Hadassah a61 hosts may attempt to mimic other hominid, homoanalogia, and ██████ species to avoid detection, so positive identification by heat remains the best option.

Following the 2006 ████ ██ 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.

Following reports in 2009 off the coast of Olympia Washington, Histomaja hadassah a61 is believed to have gone wild in the Pacific Northwest. Teams 1R-STAR-██, 1R-STAR-██, 1R-SCAR-██, and 1R-SUIT-██ have been assigned operation Firestarter for the pursuit of infected organisms in the northwestern region. 1R-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.
