Titan Base Personnel — Organization

Description

Initially a standard deep-space research crew operating out of Titan Base, this organization abruptly transforms into an antagonistic force under the control of the Nucleus following infection. Members lose autonomy as the parasitic entity rewrites their wills, converting them into violent extensions of its directive. Command structures collapse as infected personnel abandon prior roles, executing orders with lethal efficiency regardless of former allegiances. The group operates with ruthless coordination, pursuing collaborators and survivors to eliminate threats to the Nucleus’s expansion. Their contagion spreads through direct contact, turning hosts into additional agents of propagation.
