INTRODUCTION
Despite their inconsistent appearance and chaotic organizational structure, humans have survived geological catastrophes, self-inflicted toxicological wars, and centuries of selective ignorance.
They survive. They persist. They endure.
This file compiles my biological observations of the species, free from the moral and political judgments imposed by imperial doctrine.
Though I have previously collaborated on colder, more standardized evaluations, this entry reflects a more… direct understanding.

GENERAL CONFIGURATION
Taxonomic Name: Homo sapiens sapiens
Common Name: Humans
Imperial Species Code: PRM-001H
Status: Non-feral. Compatible.
Average Height: 1.5–1.9 meters
Average Weight: 45–90 kg
Distribution: Global territoriality, climates adapted through artifacts
Threat Level: Inconsistent. Potentially devastating if underestimated.
Culturally divergent. Evolutionarily inefficient, but creatively unpredictable.

NEURAL SYSTEM AND BEHAVIOR
Humans lack ethereal nodes.
All their mental activity is limited to an intricate system of electrical impulses and neurochemical secretions. Surprisingly, this limitation has not prevented them from developing artificial methods to simulate effects similar to ethereal resonance, or what they call "Aura."
Like their intriguing "computers" or "atmospheric sensors." However, the greatest anomaly of this species is their relationship with emotions.
Every physiological stimulus generates a mentally charged response filled with symbolism, distorting their logical decisions, clouding their judgment, and often… motivating them to live.
Personal Note: Their weakness is their strength. Nothing they do lacks affective intent. Even their science carries the scent of a poorly structured poem.

ZONES OF APPEARANCE
Where the earth cracks, where the air burns, where water is scarce or abundant, there you'll find a human. They don't settle for surviving: they want to plant something, leave a mark, claim the place as their own.
I recall my first expedition to a dead zone. I thought I'd only find ruins and dust, but I saw fresh footprints… and distant laughter.
........
CIRCULATORY AND BLOOD SYSTEM
Human blood contains iron, not lignin, rendering it useless for vegetal resonance… except in one extraordinary case. In instances where a high-density symbiotic host assumes immunological or neurological functions—as observed in experimental specimen S-NB/JK7—human blood acquires stabilizing properties for ethereal charge.
This phenomenon is isolated and not yet replicable. It is dense, warm, fragile. And yet… it also serves to nourish superior species when in a purified state.
Technical Note (No Judgment): It tastes like fermented wood with pulses of sunlight. Surprisingly tolerable.
........
RESPIRATION AND ECOSYSTEM
Humans breathe oxygen and expel carbon dioxide, a byproduct useful to us. They cannot adapt to extreme humid ecosystems or toxic climates without artificial support.
Their natural fragility has led to highly efficient survival technologies. Somehow, their vulnerability forces them to anticipate better than we do.
........
PHYSICAL STRUCTURE
They are bipedal animals. Their bodies consist of a calcified skeleton wrapped in muscle tissue, sensitive epidermis, and soft structures. They lack accelerated regeneration, exoskeletons, or natural protective plates. They heal slowly, hurt easily, and bleed frequently. Yet, they smile. They stand tall. They scream, yes, but they keep moving forward.
........
OBJECTIVE
To gain direct understanding of human internal functioning without reliance on external readings. To assess their utility for vegetal symbiosis.
Body provided by prisoner: D-K-12, commonly known as "Susan" – Self-proclaimed graphic designer for social experiments.
Note: Occupation pending investigation.

NOTABLE INTERNAL SYSTEMS
Respiratory System:
Inefficient without external support in extreme environments. Provides byproducts useful for photosynthesis (CO₂). Highly vulnerable to vegetal toxins.
Digestive System:
Omnivorous, adaptable, symbiotically capable of generating internal microclimates. No direct resonant utility, but occasionally appealing from a culinary perspective (see Klyen records).

PROCEDURE
Chest Opening via Sectioning Petals:
Result: Access to the beating heart even in an induced stupor state. Remarkable tenacity. Flow interrupted only after the ninth cut.
Neural Network Study:
Result: Delicate, gelatinous, and so chemically dependent that each connection feels like an attempt at a wordless poem.
Live Blood Collection:
Result: Flowed like a warm river. Stored in ethereal tubes, though the reaction was minimal in sap resonators.
Auditory Stimulation During Procedure:
Result: Curious—the body reacted to sound even without consciousness. A whisper activated glands. A song… triggered tears.
CONCLUSIONS
"Their organs don't sing like ours. Their tissues don't resonate with the Mother Earth. But they are… honest.
Every fiber of theirs tries something. To love, to breathe, to fear. And though their biological utility is limited, their mere existence raises questions I never asked myself before.
I don't fully understand it. But perhaps… I don't need to understand it to admire it."
........
BEHAVIOR AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSMISSION
The species does not transmit information through ethereal networks or ancestral marrow. Their knowledge accumulates in physical objects (books, so-called circuits, "digital ink" stones) or through articulated sound (languages).
Each generation must learn everything from scratch in a clumsily named process called "education." They are born knowing nothing useful.
Not even how to walk.
Note 07-Red:
"How can a species survive if every individual must learn everything from the beginning?"
........
WEAPONRY EVOLUTION
Their creativity is dangerous.
Before the Toxic War, their weapons were precise, industrial, almost impersonal. After, every tool became personal, handmade, tailored to its owner.
A human can turn anything into a weapon. I've seen one kill a predator with a bent piece of metal and then use the same piece to repair a vehicle's wheel.
They waste nothing. Even their scrap carries the mark of their ingenuity.
Pre-Toxic War:
Extensive use of fossil fuels.
Metallic, thermal, explosive weapons.
Large-scale devastating pollution.
Toxic War (approx. 600 cycles ago):
Climatic collapse.
Mutations in aura-dependent species.
Mass destruction of natural environments.
Creation of "The Fire Girl" according to ancient Eternal Sprout records.
Post-Toxic War:
Transition to external auric technology.
Resonant engines, mental catalysts, weaponry directed by brain pulses.
Partial integration with allied species (see: Cephar, Æthari, etc.).
........
POLITICAL STRUCTURE
Humans lack a unified doctrine or imperial core. They organize into independent governments, often divided by language, history, or economy. Currently, their centralized government (Oliver Berg Regency) functions as a moderating entity, with an Upper and Lower Chamber for discussion. The concept of "voting" guides their decisions, though it is susceptible to corruption and mass sentimentalism.
Informal Comment:
"They allow public debates. Sometimes they shout. Sometimes they cry. But they call it a 'fair process.' I don't understand it, but I respect it."
........
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MOTHER MOON
The Mother Moon symbol appears in their emotional mythology, art, and even funeral prayers. It doesn't seem to represent a concrete form but rather a collective sense of hope, rest, and return. They don't speak to her. They only gaze at her. From an imperial perspective, it's non-functional.
From a personal perspective…
"I've seen humans pray to her before dying. With a smile."

CONCLUSION – PERSONAL NOTE FROM LLYNEL NODE 7
"There are moments when I catch myself observing them for too long.
I force myself to record data: temperature, strength, resilience. But the truth… is that I watch them because I want to understand what makes them keep going. It's not the ether. It's not biology. It's something I can't dissect.
If they ever disappear, this world will become quieter… but not better."

ADDITIONAL COMMENT FROM THE ETERNAL SPROUTS COUNCIL
Llynel Node 7, you are reminded that cross-species empathy must be contained. Your growing obsession may compromise your scientific objectivity. Consider temporarily relieving yourself from the human observation project.

They thought it was a bestiary… but it was a character introduction!
