MicroBry
Embros set
Most of those in the field of studying microxenobiology have until now been operating under a misapprehension. Since the time that Dr. Prometheus' breakthrough discovery at Human Engineering Life Labs first allowed us to peer into that extradimensional universe beyond the so-called "Spacewall" it has been assumed that the humanoid yellow-orange creature found on the planet Visceros was a true member of the Membros species.
This is, in fact, a falsehood. The mistake is understandable though, since intact samples of the creature have seldom survived the collection and extraction process wholly intact, and the extreme resemblence to the less elusive Membros (which already has revealed in recent years some surprisingly extreme biodiversity) has led many of us to believe that it was in fact just another type of the same creature.
Instead, these specimens are examples of what has been termed an "Embros" (short for "Emulated Membros"), and rather than a highly evolved sea cucumber-like creature, this is actually a semi-sentient, amorphous fungus-like denizen on Viceros' surface which survives by mimicking creatures that they have digested and "stored" the "templates" of in their malleable DNA. This may sound shocking, but consider this photo, showing a glimpse into the extent of the Embros' capabilities at emulating and adapting forms.
