Isotex:

Project head: Dr. Armin Quent

Project team: Iso-4, the "Slubberbears"

(Also known as Permarubber and RB-Compound/4-G.)

Description: Isotex is a multipurpose, algae-based organism, used for its unique physical properties as a foundation for Transformations and Binding, Inc.'s, various projects. The original organism has undergone heavy genetic modification, resulting in the birth of a new, predatory symbiote. As a creature, Isotex is a synthetic masterpiece; it produces excess energy through photosynthesis, allowing it to comfortably sustain one to two hosts depending on relative mass. Isotex also utilizes its host as a reliable energy source, inducing movement to produce kinetic energy for it to feed upon. In effect, the panic and struggling associated with being forcibly restrained actually provides the organism more energy to do so. Its resilient, rubberlike nature allows it to nullify sharp objects (such as horns and barbs) and give it a limitless canvas in which to restrain its "victims."

Behavior and Qualities: When Isotex is in its natural state (unbound to a subject, that is), it maintains a liquid-like composure and displays generally the same properties. In this state, the organism displays superior resistance to heat and cold, and can survive in a no-oxygen environment for up to five hours before gross cell death occurs. When introduced to an organism of the family Animalia, Isotex will enter an active state and engage the subject. Isotex has been recorded moving at speeds of up to thirty miles per hour in pursuit of a host, although its average speed depends on a number of factors. Full encasement and transformation of subjects has been noted to take place anywhere between five minutes and ten hours. This depends solely on the state of the Isotex organism in relation to the subject, specifically how long it's been since the organism last had a host. Subjects encased in an Isotex cocoon have no need of oxygen, food, or water, as the organism is self-sustaining. By proxy, its host is as well.

Mr. Dark's Notes: While the Isotex organism appears parasitic at first glance, the relationship between the subject and the organism is actually mutually beneficial. To the organism, the subject provides a stable host and protection from wind and weather. To the subject, the Isotex organism provides sexual pleasure and resistance to disease and physical damage. End log.

The organism is ironically unable to regenerate its own mass, at least on a gross scale, but it has adapted rather uniquely to this limitation. If damaged severely, Isotex will transform its host's nearby soft tissues into more Isotex cells. This can result in subject "death," if enough mass is removed from the subject's body, although the term is purely subjective. The cessation of physical activity as a product of Isotex's tissue-repurposing triggers an indefinitely long hibernation period. In this state, the organism induces intense euphoria and places the subject in a state of near-coma. Subjects who have been revived to consciousness through various means testify that it is like "cumming [sic] for eternity." Consciousness that is preserved within the organism will continue to function as normal as long as the neural pathways remain imprinted within Isotex's mass. Further testing on the extent of this collective consciousness is underway.

In order to ensure that the host organism remains in accordance with Isotex's requirements, a series of chemical/physical manipulators engage as soon as the host subject makes contact with it. Isotex produces a chemical which acts as a topical paralytic (only skin deep, so movement can still be facilitated for energy production) and sensation booster, and this is usually the only necessary restraint for most subjects. If this proves to be ineffective, the organism will attempt to remove its host from oxygen temporarily by covering all routes and refusing to diffuse the gas through its membrane until the host is pacified. After this, Isotex will ensure that the host is securely immobilized before solidifying and beginning the next phase. Small, specialized organelles which conduct bioelectricity, labeled "electrosomes," are clumped together around the subject's sensitive areas (these include the respective sexes, tailhole, nipples, upper thighs, and the soles of the subject's feet). Through controlled bioelectric shock and symbiosis with the host's CNS, Isotex slowly brings the subject to a state of near-orgasm until they have reached the plant's required amount of movement. To retain energy at a nominal percentage from there on, the subject must be held on the peak of orgasm for as long as possible. This can be days or weeks, the longest recorded time being two months, seven days, without orgasm.

Mr. Dark's Notes: As an unexpected silver lining, most subjects who have been removed from an Isotex organism prematurely have noted vegan preferences when choosing meals. If the government ever grows enough balls to shut me down or cut my funding, I could always build a new empire in the tofu business. End log.
