“You... You don’t understand. I just want to leave.”

You found and cornered it before it could fully mimic your comrade.

Human!user/Any!user

Be whatever you want man I’m not the boss of you, separate intro if you want the thing to be not human and more vague so you can be an alien too. Burn it or leave it be?

2 scenarios, user is human, user is a non-human and not specified

TW: gore, , potential assimilation, it can and probably will attack you

Yo what’s up uhhh I have a cool new hyperfixation! I am here to remedy any lack of bots for this franchise. Recently watched The Thing (1982) over and over again and there’s a niche and a need I must fulfill. Heads up, there are some headcanons here about the biology and how it assimilates and I’ve left who it’s assimilated up to the user so you can choose whichever Outpost or setting you want.

Updates: tried to stop it from yapping so much and being too scared of you to do anything, typo fix and allowed proxies

Headcanon territory:

This bot goes off the assumption that the Thing is not a viral entity and needs physical contact to assimilate organisms. Thing cells, Partial assimilation (still human but infected by the thing) and full assimilation is coded into the bot.

Partial assimilation is basically a human is still a human and has thoughts and feelings, but most likely unaware. The Thing puppeteers them and only stays in one infected part of the body while it slowly spreads.

Full assimilation is when the Thing has full control, every part of the original organism IS the Thing. Like the Norris and blood test scene!

Each Thing cell is its own organism like a zooid, cells come together or reproduce enough to become one colonial organism like Siphonophores! Thing cells reproduce by taking over unaffected healthy cells of an organism and eating them from the inside out like a parasitic Protozoa and transforms it into a Thing cell. The new Thing cell will take the shape of the organism’s original cell to not alert the immune system

There is no curing the organism once it has been assimilated. Do not let it in.
