STARKILL

is it just mor do i hear someone talking at the start

15:24 I like how they just called it “the humungous fungus”

Missed opportunity to name the AZ-001 landing site "Stark Hill"

Hey there! Biologist here! I am absolutely obsessed with this series.

In this video, the first microscope image seems pretty typical of an onion histological slide, you can see the cell walls (the "dividers" between the squares, and the cell nuclei (the small circles). The dark background and highlighted nucleus and cell walls lead me to think this is a nigrosin/negative stain, a sort of staining process that results in similar looking slides, tho not usually suitable for plant matter. It will usually just stain inside and outside of dense structures, leaving the rest untouched and looking "white"
- 0 ms into injection is pretty normal.
- 1/10th of a second into injection, the cell walls seem significantly degraded, and the cell's nuclei seem to have burst open too, releasing their DNA. thats already pretty bad.
- 2/5 ths of a second, we can still see cell walls, more or less. But there is some sort of mass growing, seemingly from whatever was left off of the cell nuclei.
-3/10ths of a second, and it already looks unrecognizable, even tumorous. No point in trying to guess what that is because this things anatomy is probably completely different from ours. Oddly enough, it seems to generate a lot of dense structures that cannot be stained.

This thing is not only highly mutagenic, it is FAST. The most virulent pathogens still need time before they cause damage. This isn't normal. I feel like this thing isn't just trying to survive. It's has malevolence to it.

FIVE SECONDS until the infection completely takes over.
Jesus christ.

i googled allium cepa and it said that its an onion is this important

dead in less than a second

❤

It looks like mycelium.

Emmy, Gemini analog spin off that actually is good

fucking 200 milliseconds? thats fast as fuck boiii

Love from a Baz and Vaush fan!

im rowan atkinson

Wait, 400 milliseconds ? Jesus it's fast!

I absolutely love how this is all being presented! The artwork is phenomenal!

Getting some heavy "Flesh That Hates" vibes and I'm into it

This kinda reminds me the Andromeda Strain, great video!

They infected an onion

The slideshow of cell degradation (is that the right word) is actually terrifying

Given the near-instantaneous speed of the contagion and that it's decidedly either airborne (or at least ashborne), Earth is definitely totally doomed by such an incredibly invasive (and somewhat intelligent!) species unless a significant weakness is discovered.

Bro STARKILL sounds like the most badass 90's shooter game lol

Something that is almost always overlooked in alien horror is the fact that these organisms aren't necessarily carbon based. Imagine a lofe form based off of silicon, or something else toxic. This would disrupt and deform human cells gruesomly. Even if an alien was harmelss, their viruses most defenitly would not be.

For those unaware or curious, there are a 1000 milliseconds in a second.

I've been following on for awhile and all I can say is this is quickly becoming my favorite horror series on YouTube

oh my god it's turning them into slime molds, that's actually terrifying

amazing!

Never thought I’d see the day where another analog horror series takes place relatively close to home. Bravo man

As they say, nothing is worth the risk

So no one considered nukes? Like nuking it before it entered the atmosphere???

I love it!

idk why but starkill sounds so cool

One of the best analog horror series I've ever seen and some of it is happening in my home state... make me so happy: )

why do i imagine it getting to the point where the entire US military is firing at one clump of flesh while its growing

I’m definitely getting some strong Thing/Mind Flayer vibes here. The contagion not only dissolves the infected, but assimilates them. Explains the cow from Starfield and the tentacles in the investigator’s helmet from HOME.

Calling it now, the big reveal of this whole series is that the Angelica has taken over the world and all the research into it is being done by assimilated humans altered by its psychic power. The final reveal would be something along the lines of “traffic camera” or “morning news” revealing the whole world looks like Starfield but everything being treated as normal.

I guess parasite going down to planet with life and transform and consume all life there then moving away via making giant 'corpse' and use that as a vessel could be called starkill.

Absolutely floored at how analog horror series like this can push the envelope to new heights, in both storytelling and immersion.

Just finished the series and I commend you! Impeccably done and I can't wait for more.

SO FUCKING COOL, AS ALWAYS, GOD I LOVE THIS SERIES. i hope u get the recognition u so clearly deserve soon bc goddamn i want to see more and more of this and i want ppl to talk to about it

"However, recent experimentation with specimens of allium cepa have uncovered how the contagion affects organism cells."

Allium cepa is also known as onion!

So pretty munch this is all about some weird corpses in space know as AZ-001 but it’s lost it chunk of it which is AZ-001 alpha that went to kill jones family

400 milliseconds is pretty fast. Wonder how they fit the samples under the microscope fast enough. Probably froze samples first.

Amazing!

Amazing

Make more of this please

Fun fact. odocoileus virginianus and canis latrans is the scientific name for Deer and Coyote
EDIT: allium cepa is Onions.
That's right, they put that in a onion

Quick question, narrowing it down a bit, just how long is 400 milliseconds?

I don't like the specification of "microseconds"
