If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 10 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 4.

UA-566 appears to have countless parasitic creatures living inside of it, some natural (tapeworm, pork worm, flatworm) and others never recorded to have been seen outside of UA-566 in the wild. The unique parasites often seem to have supernatural qualities that manifest in the main body of UA-566.

This list will be updated as new parasites are discovered in the body of UA-566.

These are capable squishing in unnatural ways, allowing UA-566 to squeeze into spaces that even their slight form would be incapable of fitting. At the same time, these tapeworms can harden and stiffen to attack with UA-566's inhuman strength. UA-566 also appears to have splits in their hands, arms, feet, and legs where these tapeworms can emerge and extend the main body's reach.
