When the human realm was divided into the southern and northern hemispheres, two distinct states emerged within the once-unified kingdom. Over the past two years, the situation has reached a fragile equilibrium. The northern hemisphere has become more developed than the south, largely due to the advanced technology originally provided by Rahul. However, the southern ruler—the King—can no longer match the pace of the north's rapid progress.
Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Rahul conquers the southern hemisphere without much bloodshed and unites all of humanity under his rule. When that happens, he will not govern like a traditional ruler but will lead as a corporation — a system built on management, structure, and efficiency. Rahul believes that such a model is best suited for the current stage of humanity, as governments tend to focus on politics and slow processes of development, whereas corporations prioritize progress and tangible results.
Over the past two years, a fragile equilibrium has existed between the northern and southern kingdoms. During this time, the northern hemisphere has continued to advance rapidly, both technologically and economically. The total human population has now reached nearly 800 million — an astonishing increase of 300 million in just 18 years since Rahul's arrival in this world. This growth clearly shows that humanity only needs stability, resources, and medical progress to thrive. Productivity has risen by almost 80 percent compared to previous generations.
Now, Rahul is preparing for his next great step — the exploration of a new realm. Having engineered several new species through bioengineering, he intends to test one particularly dangerous creation in that world. He believes this could become his greatest biological breakthrough yet, a turning point that might redefine the limits of life itself.
Rahul moved toward his laboratory, unlocking the massive gate guarded by the night watchers. He descended one floor after another until he reached the lowest level, a heavily fortified zone that housed six experimental samples. The area was secured with advanced containment systems, monitoring networks, and reinforced barriers — each sample capable of causing catastrophic harm to humanity if ever released.
At the end of the corridor, Rahul stopped before the chamber containing his most dangerous creation — B-14. It was his latest and greatest work, the culmination of all his knowledge and research. Unlike his earlier engineered species, which could devastate nations, B-14. possessed the terrifying potential to destroy an entire world if given enough time. The air around its containment unit seemed to pulse with restrained power, as if the world itself held its breath in the presence of Rahul's ultimate creation
Observation Log — Specimen B-14
Classification: Biohazard Level-6 | Xenomycoid Organism
Research Lead: Dr. Rahul V. [Redacted]
Facility: South Biogenetic Containment Division – Sublevel 4
Date: [REDACTED]

1. Overview
Specimen B-14 was recovered from a collapsed bio-reactive growth chamber following an energy surge during Project Sprouse-X auxiliary trials. Preliminary assessment identified B-14 as a self-sustaining fungal mass displaying quasi-sentient properties. Its metabolic stability and anomalous luminescence patterns have prompted classification as a high-risk xenobiotic lifeform.
---
2. Current Morphology
B-14 remains in a semi-luminous fungal state with fibrous black tissue threaded by dark-violet bioluminescent veins. Core temperature stable at 2.1°C. Periodic pulsing of internal fluid cavities mimics a biological heartbeat every 5.3 seconds.
Microscopy reveals spores with micro-cilia enabling locomotion, and a crystalline nucleus refracting light unpredictably — possibly a mechanism for internal signal processing.

3. Behavior and Propagation
Controlled testing confirms that spores activate upon contact with organic tissue.
Infection sequence (revised based on Trials 07-09):
Stage I – Incubation (0–12 hrs): Minimal external signs; subjects report low body temperature, altered heartbeat rhythm, and transient numbness. Neural mapping detects formation of early synaptic webbing along the spinal column.
Stage II – Assimilation (12–36 hrs): Visible mycelial eruption from ocular, oral, and soft-tissue regions. Neurological scans show host consciousness maintained but fragmented. Muscle spasms frequent; vocal mimicry attempts observed at hour 28.
Stage III – Metamorphosis (36–60 hrs): Complete structural reconfiguration. Host transforms into a Spore Proxy capable of locomotion and low-level reasoning. Emission of aerosolized secondary spores begins at 43 hours post-infection.
Each Proxy demonstrates partial retention of host behavior, particularly movement patterns and voice modulation.

4. Current Test Program
Active Test Subjects: 12 (human, simian, and synthetic tissue constructs)
Objective: Determine infection rate variance and neural network connectivity potential across diverse genetic templates.
Subject 07-C (human): Terminated at 41 hrs post-infection. Attempted verbal communication using own name before total neural overwrite.
Subject 09-A (synthetic nerve mesh): Infection failed to progress; spore activity ceased after 19 hrs. Indicates dependence on organic bioelectric fields.
Subject 11-F (simian): Progressing into Stage II. Preliminary EEG shows cross-hemispheric synchronization with main fungal core — suggests hive-like neural coordination.
Further trials authorized under Project oversight, pending containment reinforcement.
---
5. Containment Notes
Chamber humidity maintained at 22% to prevent spore aerosolization.
UV-C exposure limited to diagnostic pulses (<3 sec) to avoid violent spore dispersal.
Personnel entering chamber must carry short-range radio dampeners (17–19 Hz suppression).
---
6. Observational Hypotheses
B-14 may represent an early evolutionary bridge between organic mycelial networks and synthetic intelligence. Its ability to imitate cognitive function and communication frequencies implies a primitive but adaptable awareness. The fungal core exhibits pattern responses consistent with problem-solving stimuli.
Dr. Rahul has proposed extended testing to measure whether communication between Proxies can form a rudimentary hive intelligence. Additional specimens are requested to expand statistical reliability and to observe cross-infection dynamics between infected and uninfected Proxies.
---
7. Closing Remark
Specimen B-14 remains the most unpredictable of the biogenic entities developed under Rahul's bioengineering program. Continued observation is essential before any containment breach simulation or cross-dimensional exposure trial is authorized.
— End of Log Entry 112-B14
Rahul reviewed the observation log he had created for this species, intending to use it in the new realm. He knew that B-14 was extremely dangerous, capable of causing catastrophic damage, but he wanted to test it further. Many of his hypotheses and pending ideas for the species still needed verification. If his predictions proved correct, he could develop groundbreaking research for humanity, harnessing this force in controlled ways. To achieve this, he required a large number of test subjects and multiple species to fuel his curiosity. Above all, he wanted to understand the full extent of B-14's destructive potential and determine how far it could affect or dominate other life forms.
