Agent Yulia Naumova, aka Thistle Garden During an... exposure to another Emergent that she became infatuated with, her haze resonance peaked and she rooted herself in place, her body covering itself in overgrowth and gradually metamorphasizing into the core shown, creating a large creeping patch of thistle around her.

Every 24 hours, the subunit bulbs (R-07-39a) around her open and one or more R-07-39b units emerge and carry on Agent Yulia's various tasks. They speak, act, and seem to think much as Agent Yulia did, even if there are multiple of them. They each believe that they are Agent Yulia, though deep inside they seem aware of their homonculi-like nature, especially if more than one is present. After between 20 and 72 hours, their behavior becomes erratic and zombie like and they'll find a suitable spot before their form denatures and liquifies violently and explosively, acting as a means of spreading the garden. The next set of subunits, inexplicably, will be aware of the events and conversations that happened to the previous ones, indicating that information is somehow being relayed back to the core unit even though the subunits only seem to be capable of communicating with each other via normal means.

It is advised that the other agents treat Agent Yulia as they would normally, allowing her to continue her duties as a counselor and medical nurse, as long as it doesn't affect the wellbeing of the other agents. Upon beginning erratic behavior, Agents are advised to guide the "Yulia" to the park sector so that they may detonate in a controlled environment and limit the spread of thistle to an easily managed location.
