DRIPCORE - Exploration of civilian clothes

DRIPCORE - Personal project
On a mysterious colonized planet, humans study an alien ecosystem by linking themselves to the local flora and fauna through IV drips. They call their hosts the Core - living organisms that sustain them in an atmosphere that is breathable yet slowly toxic. Wrapped in padded jackets, the colonists rely on this fragile symbiosis to survive. But not all effects are predictable - some discoveries alter not just the body, but the very nature of humanity itself.
