Ranking

 

This happens every time a breather moves up through time. Each rank brings new responsibility.

 

The first ranking is when a called is ready to be learning. This implies they have reached the required maturity for learning and will leave their callers being their journey to working.

 

The second ranking is when a learning is ready for working. This implies that they are well learned in their area and will move into the working lodging/shackbunk. This is when they earn their surname which is based on their achievements, personality, and Probenetemp. Working can also apply to be callers, however, they may be rejected depending on their class

 

The third ranking is when a working is too frail to continue being efficient and become a wise. This is the highest ranking and yields the hight respect. Wise may even be call on for guidance  by the advisors, however, they were a former advisor or keeper, this is rare.

Weyog

 

Weyog* is a paricitic sedative used by the virtai to numb and or sedate someone for medical reasons. However, it’s use has shifted over time and now is prominently Used as a form of torture at. When entering via consumption, weyog slows takes control of its victims body, lessening his/her motor control, prohibiting movement until finally, unable to move, the victim collapses going into a state of comatose. They are still fully aware of their surroundings, and are unable to go fully unconscious. This Eans they will lie unable to toe, yet fully awake until they digest water, or die from dehydration The virtai take advantage of these properties by hiding small dosages in the targets food and water supply. Once the target enters the state of comatose, they are brought in for questioning. In order to question, they study the targets brain activity and reaction to given stimuli. While it is a slow process, and can sometimes prove inaccurate, the target will be properly interrogated after coming out of the paralysis

 

When entering the victims body via injection, the result tends to be quicker, draining the victim of all energy quickly. However, since injections usually enter the blood stream at a quick rate, the process can be excruciating, and cause permeant muscle damage, though rarely. Its effects where off quicker, however, leaves victim in a weakened, vulnerable state.

 

Weyog is by nature moves in a liquid manner, however, when added to water and evaporated, the microsites cling to the water molecules, allowing for a vapor like form to occur. This is more slow entering like when it consumed, however, due to its superficial state, is only ever found in a controlled environment such as labs. It is the most deadly since and water in the vicinity will be now scooped up by the parasites, making it immune to water. A Salt water solution  must be used  in order to rid victim of its effects, causing further  dehydration, and normally results in death. Vapor weyog is still in a testing state and only used on death row inmates. North is the only survivor of its effects.
