Damlama Government Secret Archive Records: What is Known About the Emerald Flower Project

Biological Origin

The Emerald Flower (Stapelia Smaragdina) is a parasitic plant. It is a subspecies of Stapelia Gigantea. Although it is unknown exactly when and how it evolved, fossils dating back to the evolution of Homo heidelbergensis have been found. (Research is ongoing...)

Reproduction Strategy

While its cousin Stapelia Gigantea uses flies to reproduce, this subspecies, known as the Emerald Flower, uses mammals. Its infection strategy relies on emitting a dizzyingly beautiful scent to attract victims, especially chimpanzees and humans. When the victim smells the flower, the seeds attach to the brain's olfactory nerve. Since these seeds are microscopic in size, the victim walks away completely unaware of the parasite infection.

The seed slowly develops here by feeding on the moisture of the mucus and penetrates the brain. Once inside, the Emerald Flower accelerates its growth using glucose in the brain and extends its roots into the brain stem. These growing roots thin out to a microscopic level, splitting into nanofibers, and seep into the synaptic clefts, beginning to control all of the mammal's instincts. This process takes about 2 weeks. At the end of the 2 weeks, the fully possessed subject feels the need to consume about 4 times more food than normal and feels the urge to remove anything covering their skin, such as clothing.

If the infection reaches this stage, there is no turning back. From this point on, the victim must remain emotionally stable. If they suddenly experience emotions like fear, anxiety, or happiness, the hormones released from the victim's hypothalamus will cause the flower to activate. If the person can remain emotionally stable for a long period, the Emerald Flower completely takes over the brain and extends its roots into all of the victim's blood vessels, taking full control of the host.

If the flower activates before it has time to spread throughout the body, it constricts the Arteria Carotis (carotid artery) leading to the brain with its roots, cutting off blood flow and killing its host.

During the 3 hours following death, the Emerald Flower grows out of the victim's mouth and nose and blooms. This flower remains open for about 1 week; if it cannot find a new host, it withers and dies.

If another mammal approaches the corpse or tries to smell the flower during this time, the flower suddenly releases all its seeds into the air, attaching to that mammal's olfactory nerve and restarting the whole process.

Should We Be Worried?

Although the picture is alarming, humanity brought this Emerald Flower nightmare under control decades ago. All members of the flower were collected and burned, driving it to extinction. Only a single seed and its genetic code map were kept under high-security preservation at the ******** Laboratory. We celebrate the joy of being rid of this horrific parasite, which slaughtered millions of members of our species, globally every year in the first week of August as Emerald Flower Awareness Week. As long as humanity stands united, no organism can bring an end to our species.

The last seed and genetic codes of the Emerald Flower were lost during an attack on the ******** Laboratory. Anyone who has seen the last seed or shares information about its whereabouts will be awarded 15 Million Rayet for themselves and their families. The world needs you...

The Alpu Government has claimed responsibility for the theft of the Emerald Flower. They announced to the entire world that the flower had been reproduced and, through genetic modifications using advanced genetic technologies, its sap had been turned into a fuel 20 times more efficient than petroleum. The whole world is rejoicing that energy crises are ending and that we will achieve a new world order. The Alpu Government announced it is looking for human subjects for studies to prevent the Emerald Flower from infecting humans. Because it is suspected that the experiments will push ethical boundaries, our Government is putting political pressure on Alpu. The en…
