Cryptobiosis - Malignancy

An earthbound species that must adapt to this new routine

Physical transformations, over time help facilitate survival

Gradual adaption as the poison infiltrates the indigenous

Depopulating the ranks of the chosen

Feed the dead to the starving, forced to cannibalize

Ingestion speeds up the incubation process

Suspended animation, cryogenic sleep cycles

Descendants that are hybridized for violence

Offspring languish to thin the herd

Building up a resistance to inoculate the tribe

Heteromorphic, the change is ongoing

Biofilm repairs sickness through a complex internal matrix

With a multitude of imperfections these colonists rise above

Using disadvantage to their advantage

Secular humanists they are not

Hibernating mutoids strengthen from within

Molecular sequencing for optimal usage

An outer sanctum constructed with a purpose

Not by the dwellers that inhabit

Extinguish the flames of hopes and desire

Shut down the emotions that weaken

Imprisoned by this hate and rage

A colony that is now a horde

Biologic sentries mobilize
