The assessment was immediate and comprehensive.
Catastrophic structural failure across 89% of host tissue composition.
Elemental damage inflicted via projectile spellcraft had rendered the physical vessel critically compromised—third-degree thermal burns consumed dermal layers, cryogenic crystallization fractured subcutaneous tissue, electrical discharge disrupted neural pathways, and kinetic force pulverized skeletal integrity at seventeen distinct impact points.
Cellular death propagated exponentially.
Without intervention, complete biological termination would occur within 1.2 minutes.
This outcome was unacceptable.
Symbiotic protocol dictated mutual survival dependency, host termination equated to my own cessation.
