The Aggeloi (singular: Aggelos) refer to any hostile and animated entity comprising natural matter and a halo structure. They continuously spawn from mysterious structures known as Ankhors through catalytic construction. Aggeloi adapt to different conditions with corresponding arguments, and regard other intelligent lifeforms with extreme hostility. They are mainly found in the northern areas of Talos-II.

There are 4 currently verified modes of Aggeloid behavior: (1) construction; (2) deconstruction; (3) mimicry; and (4) attacking humans / human-built objects. However, since the Ankhor-induced Aggeloi formation process resembles that of industrial production, it is uncertain if the Aggeloi can be classified as a living or biological lifeform. These "creatures" feel no pain and do not bleed, thus making them a difficult foe to vanquish. They were the major oppossing force during the Aggeloi War and have caused significant damage to Talosian infrastructure.

Aggeloi. It's a strange little thing. No one knows much about their value. We have tamed and domesticated burdenbeasts. They now serve as a mode of transport and travel. But why couldn't we ride the Aggeloi? I understand that we don't know anything about their "halo" but someone has to make the first move.

Let's change our mindset for the time being. Too many of us treat the Aggeloi as cold, unliving machines but this idea is shackling our creativity. They are LIFE! LIFE is the vision of Aggeloid sciences! Think about it. We're in an alien world. Like our primal yet legendary ancestors, we shall conquer these creatures and domesticate them. We must approach the Aggeloi, study their ecology, and turn them into an integral part of our daily lives and production activities... Doesn't that sound romantic to you?

It should be simple to make an Aggeloi work for us. You must have seen comedic sketches where they dangle a carrot before a hungry burdenbeast and the poor animal would work at its master's whim... I know this idea may be laughable, but this is undoubtedly the easiest and most efficient means of using the Aggeloi. We must find the part of an Aggelos responsible for controlling its movements and navigation, then interface with this part using a piece of human technology to establish control over the creature.

The inexplicable disappearance of the Aggeloid halo is the biggest challenge of my project as it also causes the entire Aggelos to collapse into pieces of rock. I believe the halo is the cause of this. This thing is just too esoteric. I boldly propose that the halo is the absolute core of the Aggeloi. If so, should we then treat the halo as the actual living entity governing a mechanical body bound to it by rational laws? How should we commune with it? Should we find a means of extricating the halo from its physical shell? Perhaps I should look for my friends in the Cabal. After all, they are the professionals of software technology.

Not many people could understand the aim of my research but I don't mind. Every great scientist was a pioneer who marched alone and ahead of everyone else.

PS: I also shared these ideas with a few people, including Andre and Yvonne. I think there are enough of us to formally apply for a research team. "Æther Family PLUS Scientists" sounds like a nice name.
