consensus - n. - the cumulative opinion and knowledge of the telepathic hivemind. for hosts who have sublimated themselves into the Nest, the consensus dictates decision making.
drone - n. - hosts that have advanced so far into the Nest hivemind that they are practically unreachable on an individual level.
host - n. - a body/mind that the symbiote attaches to. a host has some element to their mental and physical state that the symbiote recognizes both as compatible and desirable for the over all consensus of the hivemind. symbiotes tend to sync with a wide variety of hosts to diversify the nest.
iota - n. - one of the two symbiote subspecies, iota symbiotes and their hosts are physically-inclined, and their specialized ability will follow this pattern.
mooring - v. - the act of fixing a point in the multiverse. This is often relative to Station 72's location. The Station is moored in the void and so on.
multiverse - n. - everything and everywhere at all times.
nest, the - n. - the symbiotic hivemind behind station 72. it's here to help you; it's here to help everyone. :)
rho - n. - one of the two symbiote subspecies, rho symbiotes and their hosts are mentally-inclined, and their specialized ability will follow this pattern.
specialization - n. - a host's specialization is determined by their symbiote's subspecies: iota or rho. iota specializations give the host advanced physical abilities, whereas rho specializations enable supercognitive abilities. see also: specialized abilities
specialized ability - n. - each host has one specialized ability relating to their symbiote's subspecies. however, though an advanced connection with the nest, hosts may eventually temporarily borrow the specialized abilities of others for a short period of time.
station 72 - n. - station 72 is a moored point where many layers of the multiverse meet. it is allegedly one of many.
symbiote - n. - your new best friend; one lives in your head. you can't talk to it - it isn't sentient in the same way you are, but it feels good that it's there. it feels secure.
