ANALYSIS OF HISS THREAT: PART V

--CONFIDENTIAL--

SUMMARY:

Hiss corruption manifests in vastly different ways. Some hosts remain largely unchanged, while others are barely recognizable as human. What determines this level of alteration? Is it the duration of corruption? It could simply be an evolutionary process, each entity representing a stage of growth in an undiscovered linear progression leading towards... what?

Additionally, Hiss entities possess various paranatural abilities. How have they achieved this? Do they gain them from corrupting Objects of Power? Have they corrupted a single highly-talented parautilitarian and divided their access to paranatural abilities across the network of Hiss-corrupted hosts?

As a scientist, I am hindered by the sheer number of questions. It's difficult to identify where one should begin. What is the most pertinent question?

How do we kill it? That seems like a good start.
