Red Moss Room

There was an insane amount of red moss growing in this dining room.

This ancient bastion was already in ruins before it was repurposed as a radio tower in modern times. Used to study the ways the Red Moss communicates, it now has been claimed by those it sought to study.

In those lumps clustered against the base of the tower are hundreds of infected individuals that have “rooted”, wherein the moss consumes the host body to plant down roots and extend their own antennas. The end of the tail on Red Moss infected is a special organ that produces and receives electromagnetic signals. When many infected become rooted, usually against the base of a tree, they can create organic waystations to amplify and repeat signals from afar. The remaining herd encircles the base, waiting for the signal to migrate.

The red moss is a green algae called Trentepohlia
