Verum Carnis (Latin for The Truth of the Flesh), commonly referred to as The Singularity, is the 8th and final member of the Carnis family. Very little is known about this entity. There are seven known singularities, which used to be spread across the world, but are currently contained by C.A.R.C.A.S since the events in Facility-0. However, the singularity from the island of Hudson Bay is the most notable. The Singularity that inhabited Hudson Bay was surrounded by the seven Monoliths.
The singularities are known to seemingly be extremely intelligent and seem to be constantly plotting and planning. So far, all seven singularities (V-1 to V-7) have been named and tested, with V-1 (likely Verum-1) undergoing the most extensive testing.
Sacrifice to the seven Singularities[]
The only frame that can be made out depicting the Sacrifice.
A point of interest when it comes to Singularities is Facility-0. The Cult has been attempting to gather the Singularities together for some sort of sacrifice. During the events of the Facility-0 video, C.A.R.C.A.S learns that The Cult has gathered all 7 singularities together in Facility-0 and that some sort of event is taking place involving them. When the C.A.R.C.A.S infiltration agents reach the Singularities their bodycam is disrupted making it hard to see what's happening, however, one frame can be made out showing the cultists performing a ritual to the Singularities. The sacrifice is of great importance and while we don't know what it was we know that it was important enough that the high-ranking cultists did not stop cease the ritual when the C.A.R.C.A.S agents entered, so the agents opened fire killing and wounding many cultists. However many high-ranking government cultists survived and were promptly put on trial for their crimes.
Physical Characteristics[]
The Singularity is a sphere made out of a dark mineral, containing a luminous material in the core. It's 1 meter (3.3 feet) in diameter and can stay suspended in the air through an unseen force. The Singularity also emits several forces from within itself, such as magnetic fields, energy signatures, and other pattern-like readings.
It is unknown what they are made of, but the material looks and feels similar to glass.
Characteristics[]
The singularity is shown to have many anomalous abilities. Its intelligence is shown by its constant transmission and receiving of radio frequencies which cannot be decrypted by human technology. This radio information is speculated to be received by the Trimmings who love to listen to static on the radio, then the Trimmings pass the information onto their fellow Trimmings who can pass the information on to the rest of the Carnis. The crawl also grows on radio towers and intentionally grows towards radios so that it can transmit information to the singularities thus creating a secure system of communication between all Carnis creatures that allows for the Singularities to control the Lower species, an example of this system in use is when the singularity on The Island began having Harvesters uproot and gather around Hudson Bay
Despite their high control over the rest of the Carnis they seem to lack any ability to defend themselves, this is shown in New Beginnings where the Singularity possessed by C.A.R.C.A.S doesn’t do anything to escape the lab and instead simply sits and seemingly does nothing. However, the Singularity under their possession was still active, as it was monitored transmitting information. Later in New Beginnings, it was noted that a colony of wild trimmings had “randomly settled outside of the facility”
It was suspected they are sentient as mentioned, they are known to disrupt electronics and scene in Revealed Progress, they get agitated when one of the Unnamed Cleaner accidentally broke his leg during a Routine Clean-Up of V1's Chamber, and when a group of people enters the room, it grows aggressive, emitting the same Disruption Effects on Electronics, it can talk through radios and electronic devices (like Handheld Radios, Alarm Clock Radios, and TV's).
The Singularities also have the ability to convert any dead flesh left near them into crawl. This crawl especially has a high probability of producing further Carnis species as compared to crawl found in the wild.
Personality/Personalities[]
V-1: Neutral in expressing itself, engages with personnel minimally as possible. Only shows interest with electronics and testing.
V-2: Curious in nature, asks questions often, descriptive in it's wording. Eager to engage in testing.
V-3: More active. Engages with personnel in a detached manner rather than one on one. Engages minimally with personnel.
V-4: Actively engages with personnel. Curious about personnel and what they are testing. Prefers questioning us rather than conducting tests.
V-5: More expressive outloud than other Singularities. Although it speaks often, only outloud to itself. Has yet to communicate with personnel.
V-6: Rarely engages out loud, only with incoherent noise. Doesn't acknowledge personnel, minimal engagement with testing.
V-7: Least active Singularity. Has shown minimal engagement with all activities except electronics. Only engages with other Singularities.
Trivia[]
- It has been revealed that there are seven Singularities spread out across continents, implying that they influence all corners of the world.
- The singularity may be the cause of the Vita Carnis suddenly appearing on earth, despite its supposedly being a product of the crawl. This was confirmed in New Beginnings as a dead cow was placed next to a singularity and converted into the crawl.
- The island in the Hudson Bay that the Singularities and the Monoliths supposedly inhabit does not exist in our world.
- It is believed that the government has captured all seven of the Singularities and attempted to perform a ritual of sorts but was interrupted by C.A.R.C.A.S.
- The name "The Singularity" may be a reference to the singularity point of a black hole, the central point in which "matter is compressed down to an infinitely tiny point, and all conceptions of time and space completely break down"[1]. The visual similarities between black holes and The Singularity also back this up.
- The Singularity can turn corpses into Crawl, as shown in "New Beginnings", where a Singularity (V1) turns the dead body of a cow into an abundant of Crawl within 5 hours.
- They are able to communicate with words, albeit in digital mediums (such as radios), as shown in "First Contact."
