Editing Trigger Event (section)

==Trigger Vision==
Anyone experiencing a trigger event sees a vision of a vast multidimensional [[entity]], but quickly forgets it.<ref name="I7" /> These visions are due to the neurological linkage between the shard and the host, the amnesia tied into preprogrammed measures.<ref name="I26 e1">But the entity can still see fallout effects.  There are parallels in memory storage.  Not many, but there may be glimmers where the subject is capable of perceiving the information stored in the shard as the connections are formed.<br><br>For good measure, the entity breaks up one shard cluster, tunes it, then codes the effect into each and every shard.  It studies the host species further, refines, attunes.<br><br>It takes time, but the entity forms a sufficient safeguard.  The host species will forget any significant details.<br><br>The broken shard is cast off, joining countless others.  It will bond to a host.  The entity looks forward, checking.<br><br>After the target planet has revolved thirty-three times around its star, this shard will connect to a host.<br><br>[...]<br><br>This time, the shard settles in the male, then immediately shifts to the more distressed female.<br><br>''Insinuation.''  The shard connects to the host’s neural network.<br><br>The bond is created.<br><br>The shard opens the connection as the stress peaks, and the host doubles over in pain, bewildered, stunned.  The shard then forms tendrils that contact each individual in the area.  It retains traces of the entity’s tampering, of the studies in psychology, awareness and memory, and is quick to adapt.  It finds a manner in which it can operate, then alters itself, solidifying into a particular state.  The remainder of the functions are discarded, the ones in the shard itself are rendered inert to conserve power, while the ones in the host fall away, are consumed by the shard.  The host’s neural network changes once more.<br><br>[[Imp|The female]] disappears from the awareness of the hostile ones that surround it.<br><br>The entity looks to the future, to see if this is sustainable, efficient. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/10/interlude-26/ excerpt] from [[Interlude 26]]</ref> Any [[parahuman]] nearby experiences a similar vision and is briefly incapacitated.<ref>[[Infestation 11.6]]</ref><!-- crystals stuff what shards look like individually https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/21152145-->

After [[Gold Morning]], content of visions changed to more recent recollections of [[The Warrior]]'s memories. Also visions became more fragmented and remained in the memory.<ref>[[Teneral e.4]]</ref>

Later, they changed again to the impression of powerful all-devouring mouth-pit, which people can drop into<!--related to broken triggers?--> and embrace or recoil.<ref>[[Flare 2.4]]</ref><ref>[[Interlude 11.b II]]</ref>
