Kell

The Kell are a unique form of life, as far as Terran and Ooloonoo explorers have found. Essentially, a Kell is several clusters of amino chains, proteins and enzymes suspended in a nutrient broth. This organic soup is delicate and easily disturbed when liquid. However, when this suspension is frozen, the clusters crystallize and form a lattice that interacts in a manner that creating a discrete Kell intelligence. A Kell in its frozen state is capable of exerting influence over its component parts, allowing them to move and manipulate the world around them. A Kell in its liquid state is helpless, comatose and extremely vulnerable. A Kell assuming a frozen form has no memory of its previous form or forms and is essentially a new being.
