The Beyond
The Beyond is unpredictable, dangerous and plentiful. The Beyond have been called many things but no one really knows what they are. The Beyond, starting off as just a simple gas, is taken in by an Infectoid. The Beyond then begins to circulate around the body, taking over the organs within and eventually the brain. The brain is corrupted and the body shuts down, killing the 'Host'. A few moments later, the Beyond kick-starts the body again and physical changes begin to take place. Firstly, the Beyond will have infected only those with a spine and this becomes apparent as the spine bursts from the body. The Spine becomes a large part of the outer shell. Next, the rib cage erupts, once again a vital part for the 'Host' to have. This then exposes the organs which, by now, will already be turning to a black mush, pouring out of the ribs. The black mush is then used to create a simple but thick shell, bonding to the bone. Before long this once living creature is an abomination. Their skin turns grey, their shell leaks blood through cracks yet to seal. After the transformation, the 'Host' ambles on, eating the flesh of anything it can get it's hands on.
The Beyond likes to travel in hordes. Scientists have yet to understand how but, they seem to be able to communicate without speech, which is impaired post transformation.
The Beyond has been sighted across many planets and the ACR have shut them down, quarantining the planet to avoid further spread. They still have no idea where it's coming from.
