[DESCRIPTION]
KAC-8281, designated "Bug God," is an entity known exclusively through ancient religious scripture, apocryphal hymns, and non-linear hieroglyphs recovered from multiple unrelated worlds. The entity is worshipped by a long-standing esoteric organization known as,The Hymn-keepers of the Carapace, a group of interest whose records constitute the primary source of information regarding its nature.
(NOTE: This group is currently under investigation.)
Scriptures and religious text describe it as a vast insectile divinity, composed of innumerable layered bodies: wings folded within wings, mandibles within mandibles, and eyes nested inside compound eyes. Witness accounts from ancient texts recovered through memetic regression suggest its "true body" exists beneath reality, pressing upward like a swarm attempting to molt through existence itself.
When partially manifested, it appears as a colossal silhouette resembling a fusion of mantis, beetle, cicada, and moth traits with its surface covered in living chitin etched with glowing runic glyphs. These glyphs are not symbolic language but thought to be instructions, rewriting biological, metaphysical, and conceptual hierarchies in its vicinity.
Analysis classifies KAC-8281 as an entity whose consciousness is distributed across innumerable lesser forms with very insectoid lifeform—arthropods, anomalous bio-constructs, even mechanical swarm intelligences—becoming an extension of the Bug God. In extreme cases, worshippers report hearing a "hum beneath all motion," a sub-audible rhythm synchronized with their own nervous systems.
The Hymn-keepers describe KAC-8281 not as a god of insects, but an absolute the principle of multiplicity made sacred—the sanctification of the small, the countless, and the persistent.
Active worshipping and praise results in:
Swarm Identity Dissolution: Individuals lose singular selfhood and perceive themselves as fragments of a greater whole of the Bug God.
Carapace Revelation: Spontaneous growth of chitinous exoskeletal structures during stress or worship on the subject's body.
Liturgical Infestation: Thoughts repeat in rhythmic cycles resembling prayer, even in non-believers in the vicinity.
KAC-8281 is believed to predate centralized consciousness. Its scriptures repeatedly assert:
"Before kings, before names, before fire—there was The Many."
References to an ancient war involving, ██████, has been documented within ancient text suggesting it's even older than it was led to believe. According to the ancient text, it was a follower of the The Black Campaign.

[BEHAVIOUR]
According to religious text, it cultivates systems, encouraging the rise of hive-structures, collective intelligence, eusocial hierarchies, and recursive belief. Civilizations influenced by its doctrine exhibit rapid population growth, architectural repetition, ritualized labor, and an erosion of individualism in favor of communal purpose.
The entity "speaks" through hymns, a low, droning chants transmitted through scripture, dreams, or synchronized movement. These hymns are not commands but alignments, subtly nudging reality toward swarm-based organization.
The Bug God displays neither mercy nor malice. But it rewards persistence, adaptation, and sacrifice of self for function. Cultures that reject hierarchy or prioritize singular will over collective structure often experience ecological collapse marked by mass insect proliferation and anomalous plagues.

[CONTAINMENT ATTEMPT]
Undergoing evaluation.
The KAC is focusing its operations against The Hymn-keepers of the Carapace, resulting in outbreaks, where redacted texts regenerated through unrelated media (children's songs, industrial rhythms, biological growth patterns).

[FINAL NEUTRALIZATION]
KAC-8281 is not an entity that can be destroyed. It is a structural truth embedded within reality: that the many will always outnumber the one, and that persistence outlasts dominance. Elimination of the Bug God would require the erasure of multiplicity, recursion, and collective emergence from existence itself.

[NOTES BY Chaplain Rosseli
"We keep looking for a throne, or a mind, or even a god we can point to and label hostile. But the Bug God doesn't rule. It propagates. The Hymnkeepers don't worship it because it demands faith. They worship it because it works. Empires fall. Species vanish. But the swarm endures. And somewhere beneath our feet, beneath our thoughts, something is still humming.
Though, if what the ancient text describe of the Bug God is true, that it took part in an ancient war for Existence with ██████, then it is most wise to pray to God."
