Initial creation of Bloom article detailing mechanics, components (Cores, Nodes, Cankers), and location coordinates for Adaptations.
++ +The **Bloom** is a strain of [[Proteavirus]] that parasitizes the [[Angel Comb]]s to begin releasing the Bloom strain of Proteavirus into the surrounding environment, which causes [[Masefield]] syndrome in those affected. The Angel Comb feeds off of the [[Titan Rockbore]] below, releasing a large RNA Proteavirus into the water that can infect ALL organisms on [[Proteus]]. + +When the Bloom infects an Angel Comb, it becomes a [[Bloom Core]] that can be cured to access valuable genes within. Bloom Cores are connected to a small network of **Bloom Nodes** which must be cured before the Angel Comb's internal genetic data can be accessed and used for [[Adaptation]]. Clearing the Bloom involves destroying all nearby [[Bloom Canker]]s with the [[Sonic Resonator]].+ +## Bloom Core and Nodes+ ++ +Infected Angel Combs become known as **Bloom Cores**, and must be cured to access the gene sequences within. They are connected to smaller **Bloom Nodes** via the Titan Rockbore. The Bloom Core cannot be cured until the smaller, connected Bloom Nodes are cured first. Bloom Nodes do not contain the same genetic core as Angel Combs.+ +## Bloom Cankers+ +**Bloom Cankers** are small offshoots of the Proteavirus characterized by their gray tendril growth and glowing core protected by green flower-like petals. They are connected to a nearby Bloom Core or Bloom Node and can be destroyed by blasting their glowing core with a [[Sonic Resonator]]. Once all Bloom Cankers connected to a parent plant are destroyed, the Bloom in the area will clear. Bloom Cankers linked directly to an Angel Comb may remain closed and indestructible until nearby Bloom Nodes are cleansed first.+ +Some Bloom Cankers are armored and instinctively close up when an unfamiliar organism approaches. The armor is impenetrable and resistant to the Sonic Resonator's blast, instead requiring an advanced Axum [[Feedback Resonator]] to destroy the Bloom Canker from a distance. Using the Feedback Resonator, the Bloom Canker can be shot from a small distance away, destroying it.+ +## Bloom Parasites+ +Bloom Cankers are protected by small, parasitic **Bloom Parasites** which are beaked and armless cephalopods that feed on blood. The parasites will attack any lifeforms that approach a Bloom Canker.+ +## Bloom Biofilm+ +A thin but tough bacterial, virus, and crystalline protein conglomeration that grows over the entrances to interior spaces. They are not directly connected to the other Bloom forms and appear to be the result of competition between Proteavirus alpha and Proteavirus beta. Not able to be cut, they can be removed with the use of the [[Sonic Resonator]].+ +## Bloom Locations+ +The following table lists known Bloom Core locations, the Adaptations they grant, and associated Bloom Nodes required to unlock them.+ +| Bloom Core Image | Adaptation | Location | Associated Bloom Nodes | Bloom Node Locations |+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |+|  | [[Pressure Tolerance]] | **Cicada Debris**<br>Depth: 580 meters<br>Coords: -344728, 447584, -57951 | None | N/A |+|  | [[Digestion]] | **Shallows**<br>Depth: 10 meters<br>Coords: -330748, 419041, -1207 | None | N/A |+|  | [[Heat Tolerance]] | **Cave on outskirts of Shallows**<br>Depth: 60 meters<br>Coords: -354080, 423806, -6150 |  | **Beneath Spider Dome**<br>Depth: 80 meters<br>Coords: -357719, 442231, -7713 |+| ^ | ^ | ^ |  | **Near Cicada wreck**<br>Depth: 25 meters<br>Coords: -346111, 411597, -2612 |+|  | [[Axum Vision]] | **Beneath Karakorum Power Plant**<br>Depth: 430 meters<br>Coords: -164507, 433034, -42949 |  | **Observatory Island Caves**<br>Depth: 200 meters<br>Coords: -221079, 428407, -19955 |+| ^ | ^ | ^ |  | **Karakorum Power Plant Outskirts**<br>Depth: 315 meters<br>Coords: -190122, 456711, -31571 |+| ^ | ^ | ^ |  | **Stairway to Heaven Cicada Wreck**<br>Depth: 410 meters<br>Coords: -120254, 422841, -40870 |
