[The spore attaches itself to the bottom of the temporal lobe and the frontal lobe before it gathers the genetic information of the host through the blood and begins reproducing the brain cells known as 'neurons' in the gap between the brain and the skull plates below the brain. It saturates the gap, forming a small organ made up of neurons that are intimately connected to the host's brain.

this is literally at the very top of the list?" Rui wondered. He most certainly had not missed the glaring oddity it was to place a grade-ten technique at the very top of a list for someone who had merely expressed interest in symbiotic
