Alright, so here it is, the big one.
I'e spent so much time reading their logs and documentations on this particular liquid they were developing, I thought I'd never finish, they went through a very difficult process to create this antidote, according to their logs, this antidote has been in development since the 80's. I had to go through 31 years of documentation, I had trouble remembering everything I read and now to try and summarize everything? This is going to be difficult.
But let's begin, as I said, the development of Antiazoth began back in the 80's, 1984 to be precise. This is the easy part to summarize, since it's just a log about them coming up with potential theories on how to develop the antidote and plans to capture some of the Azoth, for their experiments. It looks like in the 80's, there wasn't a lot of proxies running around like there is today, which makes me wonder, how did they even know about Azoth back then?
There were probably some proxies back then, without the terminology we came up for them today of course, now I'm really curious as to how everything worked in the early days.
Anyway, a decade of these logs is dedicated solely to plans and failed attempts at capturing Azoth. I am not going to go over their failed plans, what I will however talk about a little bit is their final attempt at capturing Azoth. Or rather, their ability to predict where our tall friend would appear, for about a decade they tried to grab a piece of Azoth by attempting to rip it off of Slender himself, problem was, they couldn't track him, couldn't predict his movements, no surprise, we still can't do that today.
But somehow, someone, managed to, for a short while, their logs mention an anonymous source, which has apparently been aiding their organization for a while now, enough for them to trust this source, according to the logs, this source was able to give them the exact time and location of a victim that Slender was about to reveal itself to for the first time.
According to the log, the source turned out to be pretty correct, a few details were wrong, like the time, the organization ended up arriving late, the victim was already traumatized and scared, meaning that Slender already did the job and left. The retrieval group was about to leave, but not before the victim started having a coughing fit, spitting out black substance instead of the blood. The retrieval group took the sample and since then, they studied it, whilst keeping an eye on the victim.
When they were able to determine that the sample they retrieved was exactly what they needed, they kidnapped the victim, dissected them and that's how they managed to learn, way before us, that Azoth manifests inside a person's body.
This is the interesting part about this organization, they've been way ahead of us since the 80's, probably even further back, since only this documentation, which only documents their experiments on Azoth dates back to the 80's, for all we know, these guys could have been around for a much longer period of time, in fact, I'm willing to bet my hat on it.
Apparently they were either able to predict the invasion of other Fears, or the other Fears were already here since the 90's, something I highly doubt, because for the longest of time, when the Internet only caught whiff of Slender, it was just him, makes no sense why the other Fears would stay quiet. So we must assume that they were able to predict it, since they were talking about, in their Azoth experimentation logs, exposing it to other creatures, which descriptions match that of The Black Dog and Rake.
From then on, we have several years of constant experimentation with different materials, very similar to what I'm doing, except they lacked the knowledge then, that I posses now, and some of these lead to nothing, others lead to devastating results. They tried using Azoth as weaponry, by putting it inside of bullets, according to the logs, upon pulling the trigger, the gun exploded, ripping off a shooters hand.
One time, one of their workers took no precautions, which led to a bit of Azoth latching on to him and going inside of him through his nostrils, after which it began to infect the testers bloodstream and etc. While it was a loss, according to the logs, it was also a gainful outcome, because they allowed Azoth to grow inside of the tester and after they considered that it was enough, they would dissect him and retrieve more Azoth, after which, they began farming Azoth, which makes me wonder, how much of it they have by this point.
I'm just going to skip to the point of where they finally developed the antiazoth, which was a breakthrough that happened only thanks to their anonymous source, yet again. Apparently they were scheduled to receive a package from their anonymous source, as the documentation reads, the package was a severed, white, pale human finger, the thing that was special about it, was that the blood seemed to be extremely pale, practically pink.
Next thing they did, was cut off the ti of the finger and insert azoth inside of it, after which they put the tip under a microscope to see what would happen. Now I'd like to remind, up to this point in time, a human body was never able to reject Azoth, anybody who has been infected with it, was stuck with it, the only times I can remember anybody coming close at halting the Azoth spreading process was Redlight, who somehow managed to wipe the memories of those who were being stalked by Slender, which somehow prevent the grow of Azoth, otherwise the mind wipe would never remain permanent; and Sagari, who (Assuming, thanks to Sanctuary only) was able to just outright block the Azoth from spreading further inside a human's body. Even then, those two instance are just assumptions on my part, based on the idea that Azoth is capable of controlling a person's nervous system, which creates hallucinations, visions and etc.
So what happened? Well, according to the logs, the antibodies of the finger's blood cells began to latch onto the Azoth and slowly get rid of it, once they got rid of it, the antibodies seemed to begin to die off themselves. The researchers tried to analyze the pale blood as much as they could, but they saw no difference in it, compared to regular human blood, apart from the fact that this blood's antibodies were capable of defending the body from Azoth, but at a loss.
And this is what this liquid I have on me right now, is. It's the blood from that finger, one vile of it, stored in a mini freezing container, I'm sure they have plenty more. Apparently, they are still trying to figure out on how to use this Antiazoth without the destruction of a person's immune system.
Well, the reason I took the chance and stole this sample is because I have a hunch and an idea on how to turn this into a working Antiazoth, but I will talk about that, when I actually get any results.
Do you have anything on how azoth affects dopamine levels?
ReplyDeleteWell, by knowing the fact that Azoth attaches itself directly to the nervous system once inside of a body and going by the idea that Azoth inside the nervous system may possibly be responsible for causing one to experience hallucinations, hear things and etc.
DeleteWe can conclude, that Azoth definitely raise dopamine levels. And while raising dopamine levels is associated with good outcomes on ones psychological state, what most people tend to overlook is the fact that too much dopamine in ones body can also lead to: Insomnia, Paranoia, Depression, Delusions, Hallucinations and etc.
Although this is definitely nothing for sure, I'm mainly basing this off of the idea that Azoth in the nervous system is responsible for it's hosts hearing things, or seeing things and from what I know, low levels of dopamine do not cause a person to experience Hallucinations.
High dopamine and low dopamine can be (and often are) features of the same disorder, for example someone with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder will experience either too high dopamine or too low dopamine. There are other chemicals involved as you know. It's possible azoth could be fucking with them all either way.
DeleteLow dopamine can cause "brain fog", depersonalisation, fatigue, disorganised thinking, social withdrawal, and memory loss which are things associated with azoth exposure (as far as I know, feel free to correct me. I acknowledge that those things could also be from depression and other mood disorders that develop due to running, although the same could go for hallucinations.)
Also, I don't doubt that hallucinations are a thing in azoth exposure, but I think witnessing the Fears might mistakenly go down as a hallucination in some records.
Also FWIW I have pre-Fear experience of depression, hypomania, delusions and hallucinations. I can only speak for myself and only for the personal side, not the scientific side, but I would be happy to answer any questions about them.
