Alien Phenotypes and Human Ranks

For human squads, a rank system was proposed where the presence of an experienced agent gave bonuses to the characteristics of other agents in the squad. An analogue of the system of ranks of agents was invented a system of phenotypes for aliens where they, having landed in more favorable conditions, began to develop into stronger phenotypes.
And in addition to the phenotypes, the aliens have gained the ability to accumulate more micronoids (at birth or from dead hosts) which gives them additional abilities.

■ A genotype is a set of hereditary genes of an organism that can be passed from parents to offspring.
■ A phenotype is a genotype that varies under the influence of the environment and other conditions.
■ That is, if the environment is not aggressive and the body receives regularly with nutrition all the elements for its formation, then the body becomes stronger and maximizes the possibilities of its genotype or is formed weak and limited if the environment and conditions are bad.
■ Xenopsychologists divide groups according to ability. Alpha, Beta and Gamma and Delta, depending on the combination of the development of the carrier and the Volume of Micronoids (MV) in the body, which is very similar to earthly counterparts.
Relative MV in bodies:
20 MV - Gamma ANAD1
40MV - Delta
50 MV - Mindsucker
70 MV - Adept
100 MV - Mentor
100 MV - Micronoid Aggregate
200 MV - Psymorph
300 MV - Queen

■ Aliens who have gone through the Full Life Cycle of Aliens on Earth (FALCE) and grown on human material rich in proteins and fats become more adapted, hardy, have a larger volume of micronoids and live much longer than their "brought" counterparts.
The more micronoids in the body of an alien or a person, the higher his health regeneration, experience, awareness, intelligence, life expectancy, which determines his phenotype as a hybrid.
Having reached the Threshold Volume of Micronoids (TVM), the consciousness and intelligence of an individual makes a qualitative leap one step higher and it will begin to actively collect micronoids from the bodies of dead aliens, striving for STVM.
■ Significant Threshold Micronoid Volume (STVM) adds (Ordo mutagenes) to an organism's phenotype its unique range of enhancements and functions. Ordo mutagenes - The presence of micronoids enhances genome mutations in the body. As a rule, mutagenic processes in the real world are negative. But micronoids can mutate the genome in a given direction with minimal negative effects, as if ordering the order of changes.
■ Threshold Volume of Micronoids (TVM) and (STVM) in the body of aliens allows them to sometimes aggregate and exit the already dead body of the host and act independently.
■ All aliens are able to slowly regenerate thanks to the micronoids in their bodies. The more of them in the body, the faster the regeneration and the higher some skills. Therefore, aliens and any creature urged on by micronoids strives, at the level of instincts, to take micronoids into their body and gain more awareness, experience and a longer life span.
■ Beta-Adepts can take on the role of Mentors (targeting easy targets carefully and prudently, and retreating at the slightest danger) and assist them in coordinating and launching enhanced psionic attacks.
■ The aliens not only plant the brought troops and eggs in human buildings, but also can evacuate and strong phenotypes of aliens and abducted people in the UFO and transfer them to their dimension, or remain in the UFO crew. Feeding people allows you to develop in the buildings of aliens, a certain amount, strong phenotypes.

1. Anthropod
   This Anthropod was raised in an alien dimension on a restricted diet in the toxic atmosphere, which led to the development of Gamma, a weak and limited phenotype.

2. Earth’s Anthropod
   It is an anthropod that has passed the Complete Alien Life Cycle on Earth (FALCE) and grown on a rich protein and fat human material, become more adapted, hardy and live much longer than their "brought" brethren. The coloration of these individuals is brighter, the reaction, health, endurance, speed and psi-protection are higher.
   Delta is the most numerous part of the FALCE brood. Delta psionically suppressed by Alpha. That is, they have no aspiration for leadership while Alpha is alive.
   The anthropod of this phenotype is larger, stronger, smarter, lives longer than ANAD1, and its body has new improvements. It typically has an Increased Volume of Micronoids (IMV) or Threshold Volume of Micronoids (TMV), which sometimes leads to awareness and a strong urge to collect and concentrate even more micronoids in its body.
   That forms the following phenotype ANED2 which is already significantly smarter and more circumspect than ANED1. He has good psionic abilities and can coordinate the actions of other aliens and play the role of squad leader.
   Beta is considered Alpha’s best friend, appears as some sort of personal apprentice, accompanying Alpha everywhere and everywhere.

3. Anthropod Mentor
   It is an anthropod that has passed the Full Life Cycle of Aliens on Earth (FALCE) and grown on a rich protein and fat human material, become more adapted, hardy and live much longer than their "terrestrial" etc. Brethren. The color of such individuals is even brighter and greener, the reaction, health, stamina, speed and especially all psi-ability is higher.
   The phenotype of this anthropod overcame the TMV and then the Significant Threshold Volume of Micronoids (STMV)
   If Master Psimorph is absent, Mentor ANED3 assumes the role of Alpha leader of the group. He is the most viable and strongest psionic in the group.
   These are recognized alpha and brood leaders, mentors much smarter and more careful. Mentor coordinates on the battlefield of other aliens psionically as a single organism and passes on to all other extraterrestrials sighted targets (aliens are able to take enemies in the environment).
   Mentor is always in the rear and uses the eyes of other aliens to gain information and influence psionically on enemies. Mentor retreats from the battlefield if he realizes the fight is lost and personal danger.
   After Mentor’s death, the micronoids are able to aggregate and leave his body, retaining the experience of the deceased Mentor. Such a Micronoid machine is able to move both separately and again to get the body of an alien or a person (under psi control or brainsaker).
