Creature · ICARUS 3.0.26 · Week 248
The Blueback is an Icarus native, while mostly docile it will defend itself when provoked. Displays a symbiotic relationship with local and introduced fauna. When injured it will retreat into its shell, calling on the help of nearby predatory wildlife.
Early results of study on the Blueback's call are captivating the scientific community. The call itself is a carrier wave of subsonic and hypersonic information. It seems to amplify aggression in any species with predatory instincts, and create a primal drive to follow the call. Group 15 are particularly interested in replicating this effect.
"We were told it wouldn't affect us. Bull****. I could feel it. Even at a huge distance... Almost a... pressure? Like a looming feeling that some bad **** will happen unless you follow."
