16. Analysis 1

"As Lucien was the first to send a summons he has the right to speak first." Old Zhun spoke solemnly.

As soon as he said that, Lucien slightly moved his hand and the hologram of the planet was replaced by 2 images of humanoid adults, a man and a woman of the same species as the family that appeared in Lucien's territory earlier.

"Thank you very much for everyone's attention, my initial considerations were already in the request for the meeting that I sent to everyone and that my messenger explained to Tyama when he invited her to this meeting." He said to take away some of the sourness he knew he still had in Lauriel due to Tyama's provocation. "So I won't go on too long."

"So the initial analyzes of the nanobots showed that these beings, as expected, evolved from mutant creatures after millennia of exposure to intrinsic MATER radiation that has lodged on the planet since the event that reanimated the corpses." He started with the same introduction as the report he had sent everyone ago. "However, thanks to filtration and the improvements we made to the Nexus during our years of survival, MATER radiation became more "benign" and became more malleable, as we all know." Everyone nodded, even though it was more obvious than breathing to them.

"The beings, more specifically, beings of the same species as the family that entered my territory, apparently developed from mutants as far in advance of humans as Balaikani and terrestrial amphibians. They have biological systems in direct parallel with the 3 species, being warm-blooded beings and capable of breastfeeding like all mammals, having double breathing systems like amphibians and high swimming capacity but not the constant need to keep the skin moist for breathing. A characteristic that apparently inherited from the Balaikanis, which in the case some don't know." He said looking at Tyama, Kalina, Alyssa, Hooku-ha, Rosemary and Mussa. "They were physically and biologically similar to terrestrial batrachians, a sub of the species amphibians." It concluded briefly.

"Interesting, but if that's all it takes to get you guys to come together then I think you actually have a lot of free time." Tyama said. "And I don't think that about any of you, I know how dedicated you are to your duties even if you are very busy with your hobbies." She looked directly at Lauriel when she said this. "What would it really take to call everyone here, even me?"

Lucien smiled slightly at the speed at which Tyama was adapting to being with them without trying to start a fight. With a snap of the fingers and the holograms showed the inside of the male and female and soon something very different became obvious, not just the double respiratory system and some different organs of ancient humans. But rather a solid formation present in both the hearts and brains of creatures.

"Nucleoli? Huh, as expected." Ad-juru said.

"As expected, yes, but not in the expected way." Lucien said making the projection enlarge in the nucleolus close to the heart, it was at least 2/3 the size of Lucien's pinky. "Usually the nucleoli develop from the heart as a cancerous nodule, literally getting stabbed in one of the upper atria, causing considerable agony and discomfort in the user. The same applies to the nucleolus in the brain, with the MATER radiation circulating in a disorderly manner between the cysts under the subcutaneous layer of the skin and the other "lumps" in the brain."

Lucien said as she placed small windows with images of hearts and brains of creatures mutated from 1 to 10 degrees, still leaving the image of the "new creatures" as a highlight in the center so everyone could see the differences.

"However, as you can see, in these creatures the nucleoli not only have a different behavior, not developing as cancerous nodules. But also the composition of these nucleoli is different, being 80% solidified MATER radiation and 20% biological material originating from the creature. Percentages similar to the of both Hooku-ha and Tyama species." Again new windows appearing showing the physiology of these organs in comparison there is the highlighted image and the smaller windows, with the physiology of these two species being very different from all the others.

"While the species of Hooku-ha and Tyama have similar compositions of solidified radiation and organic material the forms of absorption, distribution and conversion of radiation into malleable matter differ greatly from them for these creatures."

He enlarged the main image, showing that the lower nucleolus branched into several other filaments 2 times smaller than a capillary, these filaments spread to the lungs, a small atria in the upper part of the heart and to the other muscles and organs of the body. Once inside an organ, they spread like microscopic fluff that presumably absorbed the radiation and sent it to the nucleolus, while in muscles the filaments simply spread.

"According to preliminary analyses, once the radiation is absorbed by this fluff and stored, around 2 to 5%, it was sent directly to the muscles and organs, strengthening them and getting the body used to the radiation, allowing the survival of the entire organism, lower percentage than with Hooku-ha and Tyama species." He recalled showing that the direct radiation absorption rate of the two species was 10 to 20%.

"This redistribution is possible through even smaller filaments present in the arteries and veins. It is also through these filaments that "communication" between the lower nucleolus (close to the outside and the heart) and the upper nucleolus (in the brain) becomes possible. " Lucien then showed that the filaments had 3 color variations, sky blue, white and a light lilac.

"From this moment on I will be speculating based on what I saw due to the behavior of the filaments of the nucleoli. Absorption is done by the white filaments, while the communication and release of the malleable matter once converted is done by the blue filaments, possibly a high composition of solidified radiation in the Two nucleoli make the epidermal layer of skin bluish in these creatures, but again this is just guesswork." He said showing the filaments that attached to the muscles.

"For the communication and conversion of radiation, the conscious mind gives the order to generate some phenomenon that requires the conversion of radiation, the subconscious part of the brain orders the cerebral nucleolus to analyze the basic way in which the MATER particles that make up the radiation work, and the From there, it converts it into "malleable matter", reorganizing the molecules, atoms, sub-atomic particles or generating these components from the MATER particles themselves." He took a short breath and continued.

"My personal belief is that the more you know about how the phenomenon works, the better the MATER particle conversion to the phenomenon in question will be. Not much different from us." Lucien said and then stood in the lilac filaments.

"But unlike us who have our nanobots or in the case of Tyama an almost total natural absorption, these beings generate a residue when they use the MATER particles, this residue is expelled by the smooth filaments back into the environment. I believe that there are individual differences but of In general, 100% of the absorbed radiation, 40% is used and the remaining 60% is wasted and sent back to the environment." Lucien said, but then focused the image on what looked like natural microtubes existing in the arms, hands, legs and feet, these microtubes were all imbued with the lilac filament.

"However, these beings (at least the ones that appeared in my territory) developed a way to not completely waste the conversion, directing the residue of the conversion to these micro tubes that come out in tiny pores in the skin that apparently can be used to give impulse when under the water."

Lucien then closed the other windows and focused on the gifts.

"Does anyone have any questions?"
