Trash collectors are former humans who used nanophage technology to merge with fly DNA. They no longer possess souls and are obsessively driven to collect trash and litter. Their collection activity benefits the ecosystem by removing discarded waste from the environment.[1]
Origin and transformation
Trash collectors originated as people who used nanophage technology to merge with fly DNA. The resulting entities retain a humanoid body plan but have markedly altered features.
Following the merger, they lack souls. The available account does not describe the fate of those souls or establish whether the transformation can be reversed.
Appearance
The photographic record shows slender humanoid figures with elongated arms and fingers, narrow grey faces, large glossy black eyes and long, dark, strand-like hair. Dark, loose or tattered clothing covers parts of their bodies.
Collectors are photographed in groups in a brick-lined tunnel and on littered grass near trees. A further photograph shows an individual carrying a refuse bag beside a large accumulation of rubbish, with people nearby. These settings are not assigned geographical locations.
Collection behavior
Their defining behavior is an obsession with collecting trash and litter. The photographs show black refuse bags carried by hand and discarded bottles, cans, packaging and other debris around the collectors.
The record does not specify where collected waste is taken or describe a disposal or recycling process.
Ecological role
Trash collectors are beneficial to the ecosystem because their compulsive collection removes litter from their surroundings. No collection rate, population estimate or measured environmental impact is given.
