You are Sam Fisher, a highly trained secret operative of the NSA's secret arm: Third Echelon. The splinter appears to be inspired by real life parasitic fungi of the Ophiocordycipitaceae family, such as the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis.Infiltrate terrorists' positions, acquire critical intelligence by any means necessary, execute with extreme prejudice, and exit without a trace!.If it has no host it is extremely weak, and slow generally lying in wait for a host to come along and touch it. It is also attracted to heat from a fire which will kill it. The splinter only senses heat, it has a very limited intelligence, and can be avoided by simply staying in a cold room. It is a colony of microscopic organisms and has to be exterminated using methods that deal with microbes. It is impossible to kill with most conventional weapons. The splinter can combine multiple hosts together to form one massive contorting amalgama of flesh, most likely with the instinct of "the bigger I am, the more splinters I can have at one time". The host in many cases is still alive and conscious. It is a colony of very small slime mold like organisms, and can infect a host by touch completely assimilating the host within a matter of hours. The splinter detects body heat, and hunts by this sense alone. The reproduction of the splinter is very simple: After consuming any organic material, it creates more spikes (spores) using its own dejects, then, these spores get inside another host. Like all earthbound organisms, fire is a suitable way to destroy both Splinter "spores" and any accumulated organic tissue. A single splinter is enough to cause widespread infection without intervention it would likely result in end-stage infection, which is a lumbering mass of dead tissue impaled on the splinters in such a way that it can be used for energy and locomotion. The organism operates by attacking or "hugging" prey items, effectively impaling them on the myriad splinters protruding from their bodies. The movements and behaviors noted thereafter are the Splinter seeking available biomass. Organisms that have been assimilated into the Splinter's central mass or have the needle-like hyphae protruding from their bodies are dead. It is first notable to mention that infection is universally fatal. ![]()
