The Biologic
The BioLogic started with a simple question, possed by a team working in the computer miniturization field.

<i>Why limit silicon computers of relative size when a common cell has several billion base pairs of DNA, each acting as a piece of information?</i>

The computing capacity of DNA was enormous when compared to modern made electronics. Thus began a project by which Dameun and Tion scientist began to experiment at the lowest level of life itself in an attempt to create an autonomous organic computer, based on constructed strings of bases to form Condons, which are the foundations for the DNA-RNA-Protien Logic strains (DNA transcribed to RNA,
RNA template used for production of Amino Acids,
Amino Acids converted to Protiens).
<b>Phase 1</b>
The earliest BioLogic strings had been inserted into Bacteria as circular plasmids. The bacteria had absorbed the plasmids and incorporated them into their original DNA. They had then duplicated and released the plasmids, passing on the BioLogic. Viral reverse-transcriptase to fix the feedback loop between RNA and DNA. The bacteria then used the reverse transcriptase as "encoders," ribosomes as "readers" and RNA as "Tape." With the loop in place, each cell developed its own memory and ability to process and act upon enviromental information, adding new segments to revised DNA portions.
This earliest model was given the basis of the overall project and kept in reserve in case the next step was completed in failure. Fortunatly, it was not and this Phase was wiped out properly.
<b>Phase 2</b>
After ample testing had been preformed, and operational success had been declared, Phase 1 developments were disposed of. That was when the true event began to occur.
Cells began to operate on their own and redevelop their own properties. The very nature built into them forcing the bacteria to learn from their enviorment and adapt as they learned. The project proceded directly into Phase 2 in light of these augmentations in hopes that further adaptation would be benifical to the overall project.
Incorporating the bacteria with lymphocytes, mammalian lymphatic cells, the learning capacity and memory intake of the BioLogic was increased with the lympphocyte's introns, used as a long term data storage system within mammalian cells. Inducing extra-cellular communication via artifical protiens and horomones became a way to expidiate the interaction process between BioLogics. The speed at which new cells seemed to learn became sped up at an incrediable rate.
<b>Phase 3</b>
In the final phase of the project, a Farfalen volounteer was injected with a sample of BioLogic and placed under advanced observation for over a months time. The results to the program were a staggering failure in one respect, but a huge success in other ways.
The BioLogic failed as a cellular computer in the fact that it seemed to be sentient, not as an overall singular entity, but in the manner of an entire multi-cellular civilization. Its enhanced memory complex with high rate of learning allowed it to not only store vast amounts of accumulated knowledge, but its sentience allowed it to apply it directly.
At first the volunteer reported nothing for the first few days, as the BioLogic first spread out through his system. On the fourth day he reported improved eye sight and overall sense of better health. Each day thereafter another lifelong symptom off illness seemed to be abaited, as well as outer physical improvement (Bone structure strengthening and restructuring, none of which seemed to hurt the test subject in any degree).
It wasn't until the weeks end that things went amiss. Clusters of BioLogic shown under Molecular scanning showed connection into the neural pathways of the test subject as the volounteer was no longer responsive to external stimuli. As more scans were completed and documentation fullfilled the subject came around once more.
The volunteer was no longer the person he was before, he acted as though he knew nothing, much the way a newborn might but at a higher level of relative thought proccess. It was discovered that the entire collection of cellular clusters were in full command of the brain and body from that point forward.
The Command Clusters, as it came to be called by the operation team, consisted of hundreds of cells gathered together in a nexus of cooperation. The Dameun scientists on duty decided, in a bold move, to connect the entire test subject to the intelligence web to allow enough knowledge into the collected BioLogic to allow communication between the two parties.

It was discovered that not only were the individual BioLogic cells in the volunteer each sentient, but all constantly learning and evolving at a high rate. Each a part in a volentary hierarchy of culture contained in a singular macro-BioLogic (The Body). Being part of the heirarchy was voluntary, but severe troubles were associated with being a loner.
A second volunteer, unaware of the expirement, was subjected to the same room conditions as the first and was in the same conditon as the first within a weeks time, leading to the assumption that the proccess was expidiated and perfected with the first bodies transformation. The two volunteers acted as though they were seperate entities, but when seperated long distances (non-extraplanetary) still were able to identify surroundings of the other, leading the observationists to believe they BioLogics communicate in a manner yet unknown to Dameun science.
While the BioLogic itself is not harmful to the humanoid body, it does seem to take control of all upper nervous system authority, effectively cutting the individual off from conscious action. This could be considered death ofpersonality, but the bodily benifits and negative harm make up for these losses, so say the BioLogic, an inherantly non-violent personality.
As of late, the BioLogic has been an ally of the Imperium in so much the fact it does not spread itself to any further Dameun/Farfalen/Tion citizens, with the word that more hosts would be found/volunteered to the BioLogic. We hope this will make the BioLogic a successful violence suppressant in all necessary circumstance, as well as a valuable ally in an adavanced created lifeform as yet unseen.

OOC:
*Appears as:
Cancer, an inherent change in the cellular structure of the victims own body. Can also appear as a severe infection, typically cuased by the manner in which BioLogic conducts extracellular communication.
*Signs of Infection include:
Reported halucinations
Bodily Alterment
Long Periods of being 'Tuned Out'
*100% Contagious
Is expelled by infected parties via the skin, mouth, nose, stool, urine and any other method of passing cellular materials. Able to infect animals/insects, but seems unwilling where choice is available. Able to survive outside the body for upwards of three days.
