Personal Profile:

 

- Personal Log Entry 0610.08

- Provisional Ensign Victria

 

I do not like to be out of control, but right now, I feel my life is not my own. I am in a strange place, a strange ship, surrounded by strange people. I know little of them or their cultures, only that they are nothing like me and I nothing like them. My frustration has not yet abated. Though their technology allows me to communicate with them, I do not know their language and still struggle with learning how their ship functions. Every fiber of my being rebels against this life, but I can do nothing to change the situation. Not yet.

 

My life is still forfeit. I am alive, but not in control of my destiny. I am not trusted. I cannot feed properly. I cannot Hunt. I can almost feel my senses being dulled by this monotonous place. The lust for blood rises when I least expect it, demanding satisfaction. The replicated fluids I am given taste artificial. The stench pervades my senses. It is enough to keep me alive, but barely.

 

My instincts drive me to sink my teeth into the tender flesh of one of these aliens and sample their lifeforce, but thus far, I have been able to control my actions. The intoxicating smell of untainted life surrounds me, but I am denied the pleasure.

 

The Nightstalker in me lies dormant, but is restless.

I do not know how much longer I shall be able to resist.

 

 

 

Biological Profile:

 

The average Al-Ucard stands at 1.7 to 1.9 meters, with an athletic to muscular body-type. They can be identified by their pale skin complexions, pale eye color (usually some variation of light blue), and two pair of fanged protrusions in both their upper and lower sets of teeth. Their physical strength and reflexive reactions are elevated and disproportionate to their size. All other features are similar to that of a Terran human.

 

Though the exact nature of their physical make-up is still somewhat a mystery, it is known that all Al-Ucardians carry a transmittable type of viral pathogen in their bloodstream (see Cross-reference: AU-27). This genetically engineered virus has mutated very specific portions their internal systems. For instance, though their circulatory system remains intact, the rate at which blood flows through their bodies is significantly lower than that of a standard human. Their internal organs are able to function with less oxygen and are much quicker to absorb what little is provided.

 

The Al-Ucard do not produce their own erythrocytes. Instead, they rely on the absorption of red-blood cells from other living organisms, requiring replenishment every 3 to 5 days in normal circumstances. Their digestive system is developed to handle large quantities of foreign cells, altering healthy erythrocytes and incorporating them into their circulatory system. Extremely high levels of leukocytes ensure that any impurities from absorbed cells are destroyed, giving them immunity to a wide range of diseases and infections. Their thrombocyte count is elevated, which provides faster healing and clotting (sometimes instantaneous healing of minor wounds). Highly concentrated amounts of thrombocytes have also been found in their saliva, which may serve as some sort of coagulation agent.

 

Most of the Al-Ucard have developed some degree of sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation (and consequently, a decrease of skin pigmentation). It is unknown whether this is the influence of the virus or some other environmental condition.

 

Other senses seemed to have been enhanced as well. Their night vision is extremely acute and they are able process images in even the lowest levels of luminosity (note that this enhancement can be crippling in intense light without some sort of ocular filter). Their hearing is sensitive to a wide spectrum of auditory frequencies. It has also been found that the Al-Ucard use their sense of smell to help remember and identify one another. They are able to sense the chemical reactions and otherwise undetectable pheromone emissions that are a by-product of emotional changes.

 

 

 

- Cross-reference: AU-27 (aka Claret Twenty-Seven) -

 

AU-27 is a type of transmittable virus that was initially discovered on the planet Al-Ucard in the Gamma Quadrant. The virus is thought to be a mutative disease, originally manufactured by the Scorpiad, and purposely forced upon the humanoids on Al-Ucard. Those that did not initially die from exposure were genetically altered to specific designs.

 

The virus, which can only be transmitted through fluid exchange, contains a strange protein that mutates living cells and causes varying degrees of hypohematism in infected persons. In small amounts, the proteins are harmless and cannot overcome a healthy immune system. Unless a humanoid’s blood cell count is significantly low, or an individual’s immune system is deficient, the virus proteins cannot take hold or multiply.

 

The virus was designed to make those of Al-Ucard a race of elite hunters whose main purpose was to track down an eliminate Changelings (before the creation of the Dominion). Though the proteins within the main body of the virus are not fatal to humanoids, they act as a catalyst when brought into contact with Changeling bio-material. A coagulation reaction occurs and, if not halted, will effectively solidify the liquid-based lifeforms.

 

Those (non-Changeling) successfully infected by AU-27 will experience drastic physical and chemical changes. Some of those include a decrease (or termination) in erythrocyte production, increase in leukocyte and thrombocyte counts, increase in bone density, rejection of standard food products, sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, augmentation of perceptual senses, and a sometimes uncontrollable blood-lust.

 

Note: Presently, there is no known cure for AU-27.
