Protomoleculeaffected

Protomoleculeaffected refers to organisms, environments, or objects that have been altered by the Protomolecule. The Protomolecule is a fictional alien biological agent originating from the Ring Space in the Expanse science fiction series. Its primary function is to terraform planets and moons, but its uncontrolled mutation can lead to dangerous and unpredictable transformations.

When the Protomolecule infects organic matter, it causes rapid and aggressive cellular growth, mutation, and reconstruction. Infected individuals often lose their consciousness and become extensions of the Protomolecule's will, acting as hosts and agents of its propagation. These transformed beings are often referred to as "protomolecule-infected" or "protomolecule-affected" entities. They exhibit enhanced strength, resilience, and a disturbing drive to infect others.

In environments, the Protomolecule can dramatically reshape landscapes, creating alien ecosystems and structures. It can infect non-organic materials as well, integrating them into its expanding biomass. The "affected" state is characterized by a pervasive and invasive biological process, fundamentally altering the nature of whatever it comes into contact with. Understanding the nature of protomoleculeaffected entities is crucial to containing its spread and mitigating its threat.
