Liquespina cerebrata : Mindweeper
🔬 Scientific Name: Liquespina cerebrata
🧪 Common Name: “Mindweeper” or “Dissolvepetal”
🌱 Classification:
• Kingdom: Plantae
• Order: Dipsacales
• Family: Osmodendrae
• Genus: Liquespina
• Species: cerebrata
🧬 Morphology:
• Main Body: A semi-gelatinous core mass encased in vascular bone-gel mesh, shaped like a collapsed bulb. Colorless when dormant; bleeds glyph-chrome tendrils upon activation.
• Vessels: Internally threaded with marrow-vein microtubules. Delivers psychic nectar (thought analogues) to host surfaces via osmosis-like capillary pressure.
• Inflorescence: Forms within the cranial cavity — inverted clusters of thin, sap-coated spines grow downward into the foramen magnum. No light required.
• External Expression: Emerges slowly through cranial suture lines, forming weeping petaloid fissures where glyph-ink drips like sap.
🦴 Osteofusion:
• Introduced via spore-fluid injected into porous cranial vault (usually parietal bone or sphenoid edge).
• Grows outward from within the braincase, osteofusing along suture margins.
• Over time, forms passive communication structures along the skull surface — not readable, but transmissive under glyph resonance.
🧠 Traits:
• Semantic Pollination: Draws unspoken thoughts, memories, and suppressed language into bloom. These are released via slow drip along bone fissures.
• Vascular Drift: The plant can migrate subtly through canaliculi networks, changing bloom positions based on mood vectors.
• Post-Mortem Efflorescence: Upon host death, produces an outward burst of spine-petals through cranial seams, often mistaken for trauma fracture.
📍 Habitat:
• Occurs only in preserved skull crypts, glyph-vault reliquaries, and exhumed research cadavers.
• Can be induced in living hosts under controlled low-pressure cerebral conditions.
⚠️ Risk Profile:
• [G9-F] – Severe glyph bleed potential. Host may experience memory decohesion, unwanted semantic discharge, or dream-exsanguination.
• Not approved for experimental implantation except under Bone Accord IX.
📝 Notes:
• “The skull bloomed overnight. We thought it had cracked — but it had spoken.”
• “The drips on the table were names. All of them wrong.”
• “I believe the plant knows more about the host than the host ever did.”
