You possess an extra appendage.
Used by Wei (UA-566), Created by TheSuperChrisb.

UA-566 is a sapient entity dwelling inside of the body of a roughly 30-year-old biologically male human. The entity inside of UA-566 claims to be the collective consciousness of the symbiotic organisms living inside of the body. It claims to not understand human socio-emotional concepts such as art or self-expression. It seems to have a preservation instinct informed by experience with human technology, as it has always attempted to avoid firearms, knives, and electric shock during testing.

The most noticeable anomalous quality of UA-566 after initial containment is the carnivorous parasite (Taenia crinium) housed in its neck and scalp, henceforth referred to as UA-566-A. UA-566-A is completely fused with the primary body of UA-566, and efforts to remove the parasite has lead to the near-death of UA-566 numerous times (see Transcription:1-4A). UA-566-A is comprised of numerous tendrils that grow from the host's scalp, disguising itself as thick, oily hair. These tendrils can extend a surprising length from the central body of the host and easily squeeze through tight spaces. Underneath the tendrils is a gnashing mouth at the base of UA-566's neck that is constantly pulls perceived food into itself. A number of thorny teeth have also grown out of the central mouth of UA-566-A, buried within the pseudo-hair as well as at the top UA-566's forehead, forming a line of sharp bones reminiscent of a crown.

It is apparent that UA-566-A has a level of autonomous control that occasionally overrides the collective consciousness inside of UA-566. UA-566-A has grappled and bitten a number of researchers in the past, and testing on UA-566 now requires a metal hairnet to keep UA-566-A under control.

UA-566 claims that UA-566-A is a "new addition" to it's "collection," and therefore struggles to follow the commands of the central consciousness. It claims to be improving its control over UA-566-A but a statistical analysis of recent incidents involving UA-566 have demonstrated this to likely be a falsehood.

*Addendum 566-1:* It appears as though UA-566 has developed a stronger neurological link with UA-566-A. It claims to have "worked out their differences" and "bonded over a shared love of eating." Note that UA-566-A has not been recorded to have any interest in anything other than the consumption of raw meat.

*Addendum 566-2:* UA-566 has gained an enhanced level of agility with their limb, being able to squeeze its tendrils into extremely tight spaces without sacrificing manual dexterity. It is now capable of opening doors from the inside of its containment unit. Ensure that security doors are water-tight in order to prevent a security breach.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand.
