Spontaneous Blinding Mines Codex

INDEX Analysis:
This mutation can be observed following Archan elimination. Explosive Chimera byproduct are generated by Archean remains. Byproducts have been identified as Blinding Mines. (INSERT: Jäger - Unusual mechanics... But a brilliant way to go, I guess.) Same mines dropped by Sowers.

These Chimera biodevices display similar functions to Stun Grenades: On detonation, Blinding Mines can disorient and impair the target's vision. (Cross-Ref: ongoing biomechanical and trait analyses of Archaean)

EXTRAPOLATIONS:
Data is inconclusive on Archæan awareness of Blinding Mine components in their body. No visible or behavioral indicators for potential carriers. (Cross-ref: Nests /latent mutations)

Speculating on mutation evolution: May be an additional defense mechanism for the Parasite ecosystem (QUERY: "last ditch effort"). Post-mortem measure to defend against intruders (i.e.: Operators). (QUERY: "dead man's switch")

ADDENDUM: Theory confirmed. Further observed with other biodevices. (Cross-ref: Exploding Mines)

ENGAGEMENT PROTOCOLS:
Carrier Archeans cannot be identified. Suggest vaporizing Archæans to prevent production of Blinding Mines. Recommend eliminating existing mines.
