Nests is a Codex entry featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction.
Transcript[]
INDEX Analysis:
Nests appear as large nodules, common within infested zones. Formed when Sprawl enters a phase of less aggressive proliferation.
They are especially fertile areas of differentiated Sprawl that can germinate several Archaean variants when alerted. (INSERT: Mira - We have no idea on the mechanism behind this...)
EXTRAPOLATIONS:
Rate of synthesis of Archeans must demand considerable energy and biomatter reserves. Likely supplied by the surrounding Sprawl. (INSERT: Finka. We need to study those nutrient nodes more closely.)
Speculating on factors affecting Archean variant determination: Environmental factors such as thermosensitivity, photosensivity, and seismosensitivitv have been ruled out. Further data required (INSERT: Doc - There must be some mechanism that regulates which Archie will 'hatch'...)
Expanding on variant determination: Suggest investigating possibility of 'bacterial memory' and immuno-response connection to variant morphology. (INSERT: Mira - There are definite signs that this is the case. Similar to known organisms but on a huge scale. @INDEX)
ENGAGEMENT PROTOCOLS:
Destroy Nests before they are alerted. This will limit germination of motile Archeans forms.
