> Description
Specimen 239, of which is also known as the Light Wolf, or 'Drones', are a rather peculiar and terrifying specimen. Unlike their cousins, the White Wolf, they are solid white and have no defining patterning. They lack eyes, and their mouths are deformed, having a sort of melted appearance. Their uncanny and mutilated appearance is not the only thing that is unique about them, however. They possess an ability to infect other specimens, turning them into another Light Wolf, while still keeping the victim's original body structure due to how the cell conversion functions. There is no such thing as an individual, every single instance is part of a collective, a hivemind. They also have a supernatural ability to sense any living things through walls, which more than makes up for their lack of sight.
Behaviour
Behaviour
> Social structure
> Social structure
Instances of 239 share a collective consciousness, and therefore all behave almost exactly the same. Due to this, they form no social structures. They do not speak with each other, they do not acknowledge each other, the only interactions that the entities share with each other are silent collaborative works to achieve a goal.
They are known to swarm and form hordes, should any other instances be active at the time. If it is possible for one to get back to the other vessels of the hivemind, they will stop at nothing in order to go back.
Drones are incredibly hostile to anything that they are able to detect. They will actively attempt to find ways to get to their targets, and are very likely to ignore any risks in favor of going after whatever it is that has caught their attention. Their danger comes from their relentlessness, as when one instance is killed, a replacement is likely to rise out of the puddle within moments.
These specimens will not attack immune personnel on sight as the hivemind is aware of their vessel's lack of strength to cause damage outside of infection. However, if they are agitated or provoked, then they may attempt to attack these individuals in an effort to get them to leave their area.
If there is nothing they can possibly get to, or anything that they can detect nearby, they enter a sort of docile state, where they will either stand entirely still, or will aimlessly pace around their containment. When faced with interaction with humans that they are unable to reach, or personnel that are immune, they will all turn to face the source of the disturbance, but will not do much else.
Light Wolves are incapable of understanding the English language in any capacity. They will not understand spoken or written English, and are incapable of speaking it themselves. They are only able to speak and understand the infected language.
They may answer simple questions, but otherwise will refrain from speech. When they do speak, their words are often slurred and sound garbled. Only one vessel will speak at a time, and there is often a designated speaker within a group. The designated speaker may change in the middle of an interaction, however.
> Interactions with other species
> Interactions with other species
Light Wolves are incredibly aggressive towards any other type of specimen. If they sense a different type of specimen within their vicinity, they will become highly agitated and will refuse to do anything but attempt to get to their target. They will infect the individual the very moment they get access to their target, no matter the danger that may be posed by immune personnel.
If faced with a group, each entity within the swarm will go after whatever is closest to that vessel. After all available victims are infected, they will immediately attempt to group back up and go about business as normal.

> Diet
Light Wolves have no need to consume anything. They have no diet, given that they seem to not have any functional digestive systems. They show absolutely no interest in attempting to eat, either, and all food will be ignored.
> Habitat
> Habitat
Specimens of 239 live within a heavily guarded containment chamber, located within Unit 4. Their source puddle spreads across a small portion of the chamber, which includes the walls. There are multiple objects scattered across the puddle, with some of them being objects simply covered by the puddle, while some are artificial structures formed by the substance itself.
Please be in a CIS VC if you are acting as a 239 instance. This will maximize your experience of acting as a collective!
