Structured article on the Bloom viral strain, including mechanics for curing Bloom Cores/Nodes, descriptions of Cankers/Parasites/Biofilm/Sap, and a detailed location table for all Bloom sites and associated 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. Normally, Angel Combs feed off of a nearby [[Titan Rockbore]], and emit standard Proteavirus into the surrounding waters to interface with the DNA of nearby creatures. However, when the Bloom infects an Angel Comb, it becomes a [[Bloom Core]] dedicated only to producing more Bloom virus, preventing safe access to the valuable genes stored in the comb.+The **Bloom** is a strain of Proteavirus that parasitizes the Angel Combs to begin releasing the Bloom strain of Proteavirus into the surrounding environment.

Clearing the Bloom involves destroying all nearby Bloom Cankers 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. Juvenile Angel Combs connected to a nearby Bloom Core via the Titan Rockbore become **Bloom Nodes**. 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 Bloom Cores. ## 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.+**Bloom Cankers** are small offshoots of the Proteavirus characterized by their gray tendril grow and glowing core protected by green flower-like petals.

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.+Some Bloom Cankers are armored, and instinctively close up when an unfamiliar organism approaches.

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]].+A thin but tough bacterial, virus and crystalline protein conglomeration that grows over the entrances to interior spaces.

Unlike their relatives, a Sonic Resonator or multi tool can be used to break them.+A seeming relative of the Bloom Biofilm, these growths can be found clogging natural oxygen vents and crates.
