Zombies

Slowly, inexorably rising from imagination to reality; these creatures are hewn by man, yet hold no reverence for their creators.

Abstract

Zombie creation is achieved by utilizing an ant’s brain 3D printed into the awaiting skull of a 3D printed human body, synapses lashing forth from inserted ionized fluid and captured into bacterial nanowires, or carbon nanotubes whose contours carry these signals to the spine, wherein Neuromuscular junctions translate this energy into motion, since these are conduits of the synaptic response elicited by the polarized neural cells, as electricity leaps forth, into the ionized cerebral fluid. These Neuromuscular junctions are printed from schematics acquired through dissection of existing Neuromuscular junctions, which are then recorded into a 3D blueprint, each burst of ionized fluid replenished by the ordinary bodily processes, as live cell cultures are used for each printing, and blueprints of immense detail are contrived of dissection with diamond thread, that each sliver is recorded and stored, the induction of a sea of ionized fluid ensures a writhing sea of synapses. This chaotic tumult of synaptic responses, is harnessed by Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis, a fungus wont to assail ant brains, an infection of humans assured by printing a venom duct into the monster’s left canine, and utilizing an improved fungus to infect human neural tissue.

Chapter I: human infection

Forced evolution of this fungus, is attained by a series of chambers, each of which is guarded by a neural tissue sample, into which ionized fluid is propelled, eliciting synapses, which are detected by a sensor drawn across the ragged expanse of this tissue shard, each neural fragment sending forth a meager electrical signal, which is detected. Yet disruption of this current, as the fungus assaults this knotted, fleshy barricade, altering its synapses to impact the connected muscle tissue the roiling currents of which are detected, and thus elicit an electric charge into the probe, which draws agape this fleshy portal, and allows the evolved fungus onward.

As displayed, the fungus either adapts, or perishes and thus proceeds, or fails.

Success is elevated by an escalation of complexity, the first chamber largely comprised of

ant based neural tissue of sharply elevated complexity, and bordered by the peak of tissue, or

rather the complexity therein.

Chapter II: function and design

This creature is hewn within a circuitous apparatus composed of 3D printers, each of which only need print a single, circular section of meager width, thus decreasing the time required for each construct’s birth. Extending into each canine, is a powerful cord whose rigid structure edged by sphincters, uses suction to draw forth the fungal venom hewn within a laboratory’s womb, and nurtured within false life’s warmth. To prevent self annihilation, or rather each creature’s assault upon its peers in rage unfathomable, and agony immeasurable, two horns are installed upon jaw left and right, the left of which funnels air from each successive breath into a thunderous bellow, and the right construes the vibrations into agonizing input, should its own ears prove insufficient to the task. Yet, a second and far more efficacious solution, is to print the creatures without Corynebacterium which are responsible for odor, or to devise an odorless solution to the removal of sweat glands entirely, one

method of which is to print new veins from extremities to core, cycling heated blood to the surface where it may cool, by exposing the veins in their sinuous intricacy, to the cooler air beyond, and perhaps printing a frilled spine not unlike those beheld on several dinosaurs, to better regulate temperature without sweat glands, and thus without a scent to be discerned

by their peers, and thus avoiding detection entirely.
