During the years that followed the “domestication” of these flesh-creatures dubbed “Nikutomo” by a small group of early researchers. Sightings began to emerge once again of specimens resembling the Precambrian organism Dickinsonia, but this time they were seen crawling from the sea onto beaches, desperately clinging to any metal surface they could find. Nikutomo became increasingly common on land, largely due to human interference. But wild populations told a different story. Reports surfaced of offshore rigs and ships carrying billions of the creatures, their fleshy bodies carpeting hulls as they silently hitchhiked across the oceans. As the original researchers shared their findings with other teams, the name “Nikutomo” spread rapidly but without standardization. Before the information was formally published, the term circulated verbally, crossing language barriers, accents, and unreliable communication channels. Field recordings were distorted, handwritten notes misread, and translations between Japanese, Malagasy, and English introduced subtle phonetic shifts. “Nikutomo” became “Niku-otomo,” and eventually “Nikuodomo.” By the time the error was recognized, the new term had already taken hold in official reports and global databases. What had once seemed like a harmless breakthrough began to unravel. The utopian image the world had embraced was steadily eroded by the very creatures humanity had welcomed. Yet despite the growing signs of danger, the public and authorities remained optimistic wilfully blind to the consequences of their actions. This was only the start to their punishment ....
credit me for the OC I still don't like the vector, but it will do, also it might be growing one me the more I look at it
