The Parasite feeds on its Host.

Slowly, it breaks down the body,

while expansively spreading itself throughout every reachable spectrum in the process.

Such phenomena also enable the preservation and stimulation of new life.

A necessary mechanism designed for the continuation of the whole.

Acts of intervention remain futile when opposed by the Machine.
