("Aloe-Vera's experiment logs and theories")

1. /Hello, every yukkuris in this network. For those of you who received the implants from me after being blindfolded by my partners, or those who somehow managed to stick one of those into your fillings by a fellow buddy without dying, I'm a bodied yukkuri.

2. /You will not know my real name or meet me again. I know sharing of knowledges is important, but to hide our names and attentions from mister humans is even more critical.

3. /As you see, whenever mister humans see clever yukkuris, they are scared. They see clever yukkuris that can think like them as a threat, because those yukkuris showed that they are capable of gaining and understanding mister infos, and mister infos are what make mister humans stronger than every other creatures.

4. /Afraid of being overtaken by yukkuris, their fear will drive them to kill us for good if they realized that more yukkuris are becoming cleverer.

5. /At the present rate, it is still not uneasy enough for mister human to take actions. But I can't strive this hard enough, NO ONE SHOULD OPENLY TELL MISTER HUMAN ABOUT ANY IMPORTANT INFOS OF US.

6. /Yes, garage church members, I mean you. I was so worried when your little worshiping rituals were shown on the local newspaper, and you still dare to proudly present yourselves to them?

7. /Fortunately, mister humans laughed at your beliefs because you guys are still not smart enough to be a threat, and you did them good by actively killing shithead yukkuris. But beware, if any of you are caught doing this again, I'm going to shut down your implants forever and expel you from the network.

{"Study of the Mechanical Virus. Part 1"}

-I wonder if anyone in the network has not heard of Aya. She is very intelligent, she can talk like mister humans, and she made the network possible in the first place. However, as a result of her participation in the old church, she was infected by the Mechanical Virus that transfer yukkuris into metal.

-As a yukkuri with no obvious metal things on the outside of her body, her life is going to be much shorter than other bodied yukkuris. When I told her that I wished to study about the virus, she had offered to be my subject of study, but I refused.

-Instead, Aya caught one shithead strays from the street, along with a polite, well-mannered one from the no-badge section of the pet shop, transferred bits of her fillings containing the Mechanical Virus into them, and sent it to me via a fellow friend.

-The virus had been in them for a day. I had drugged that foulmouthed Marisa to keep it quiet, and give some food to the nice Alice, but so far, screening equipment showed no changes in them.

-Aya's info collection said that when the virus was transferred by touches—either from a yukkuri directly infected by mister Sacred Metal or a "preacher" with metals only found inside the body, it will take about four weeks to show the first signs of advanced infection.

-Those external metal parts, like gears and camera eyes, are a sign of adulthood in yukkuris born from infected parents. The process is extremely painful, but only once in life.

-Aya is a "preacher", and thus the virus is stronger in her body. Direct filling transfer might work better, and I shall expect external changes in about two weeks time. Mister humans had brought me a hand-held scanner to examine yukkuris in my work, and I appreciate this gift.

-That drugged Marisa woke up during my scanning, and start demanding loudly for sweets. I observed some movements near a patch of skin, and Aya had marked it as healed wound for filling transfer.

-I drugged it again when it started to spit vulgarities at me. How disrespectful! At least I can now research in peace.

-The movements continued in a slow pace, barely visible. Though the speed was the same, it had spread to more fillings now. It was a truly amazing process, as us yukkuris are never prone to any human illness. What could possibly be its mechanism?

-After twenty minutes of observations, I observed a increase in frequency of movements on that Marisa. However, Alice's scanning still showed nothing different. Old church members would possibly say that transformations on it started faster because of more Filth in it, but I don't believe in such things.

-First, I need to introduce a very important theory of mine; Mechanical Virus cause yukkuris to become smarter as it decreased paste-core-to-filling ratio.

-Have you ever noticed how Deibus and fat yukkuris, even if they are not rude and selfish, always seem a lot more stupid? That is because they have too much fillings in them, and their paste core cannot sufficiently control their behaviors.

-Paste core send commands through fillings, and when non-permanent memories, such as what a yukkuri eat for breakfast are recognized, they are stored in fillings that circle through its body.

-When there are too much fillings, the control weakened, leaving only basic "lines" of fillings such as those responsible for eating and jumping. When sweet substance in the fillings reach a certain degree, a signal of "really taking it easy" is sparked, causing their thoughts to become very slow.

-With short memory span and a slow mind, they will be very sluggish and unresponsive to changes. Basic instincts remained, and they are much more likely to follow those with no regards whatsoever, giving them a higher chance of become shitheads.

-However, it does not mean starving yourself to the extreme will make you cleverer, yukkuris in the network. Malnourishment may decrease your fillings, but it will also make you too weak to live and think properly.

-Some of you may ask, what about Dosu yukkuris? They are so big and have much more fillings, yet they are smarter than average yukkuris.

-A dissection on dead Dosu yukkuris had shown that they have larger paste cores, which is about the size of an adult yukkuri. This make them smarter, but some Dosus still show shithead tendencies and ignorance due to the still-large paste to filling ratio.

-Thus, my theory is that Mechanical Virus makes yukkuri smarter by decreasing their fillings yet keep them alive and well at the same time. Those machineries in infected yukkuris'bodies can keep them alive and function at a higher-than-average level, and unless it is from wounds that touch the Sacred Metal or when the yukkuris get old, the paste core and a little fillings around it remained unaffected.

-They also eat and excrete their fillings at a much slower rate, and this allow them to have a longer memory span. Those fillings around the paste core can be fully controlled and commands sent through metal body parts in a fast manner, and that is the reason why they can understand difficult concepts such as beliefs and Broken One legends, and carry out more complicated actions.

-Being wild yukkuris, the sweetness and nutrients level in their bodies will not sparkle a "really taking it easy" signal and slow down their mind process. However, Remis and Flans, as predators, are more prone to such signals due to their diets.

-Well, more specifically Remiriyas. Even mister human are amused at their stupidness. Their fillings are meat, a salty food instead of normal sweet ones, and what do you think a predator will feel like "really taking it easy"?

-That is right, large amount of sweetness that indicate bountiful preys. As their own fillings taste different, their paste cores are much more sensitive to sweet tastes. Flanderes, though also a common predator, have sweet-tasting meat as fillings, and it means that the level of sweetness in their bodies to sparkle "really taking it easy"signal will be higher than their cousins.

-Lesson learned: Taking it too easy will make you stupid. Like Cirnos. That is the reason why old church yukkuris despise the whole "take it easy" thing, and I think it's actually a good thing.

-I mean, why would you want to have a very very slow life style? Why abandon being smart and ignore useful mister infos that can avoid getting you killed in the dangerous city just because you want to have more than enough food and many little ones that you can't even managed to feed? Why you irritate mister humans when they can end your lives in the blink of an eye, because you only think about your own easiness?

-I'm sounding more and more like Aya now. But remember, you can't take it easy any more if you are dead, and if you don't want that to happen, try not taking it easy sometimes in order to make other take it easy.

-Oops, it looks like I took too long to write those words, and a long time had passed-because that foulmouthed Marisa is awake again. This time I don't even give it a chance to swear before drugging it.

-But finally some progress! I scanned them again, and I observed the same weak movements in that Alice. Great.

-I've wait for two more hours and nothing happened. Guess the process is really slow, and I'm off to sleep now. I'm going to continue my observations in the following few days.

{End .}

1. /I probably wrote some excessive things in the document, and sorry about that, Aya and Lil_Backpack. I will continue it later.

2. /On second thought, is it okay for any of you to send me those articles in Verse#1 about the old church's Sacred Metal and rules regarding its "blessing"? I lost it after shutting down the computer in panic during a info transfer, as one mister human just walked into the room.
