Researcher: Louis Sullivan 

The outer layer of each Cystoid nest appears to be made of an exceptionally thin layer of the same material that makes up most Typhon. Indeed, the nest appears to to be just as fragile as the Cystoids themselves, making it less of a protective structure and more like a living mine. It's possible that the Weaver uses these to mark and even defend its territory from any kind of intruder. Initial scans reveal they are constantly leaking lethal levels of radiation.

MORGAN'S NOTES:

Steer clear unless you want radiation sickness or a swarm of cystoids after you.

PETER'S NOTES:

Pops if it senses movement. Steer clear unless you want radiation sickness or a swarm of cystoids after you.

Design
The Cystoid Nest looks like a big sack of black substance with three tentacles hanging from it.

Strategy
It's best to deal with the nests from afar by using ranged weapons. This way, Morgan will able to avoid being hit by the released cystoids and radiation poisoning.

Cystoid Nest usually emits small radiation compared to Cystoid. It is one way to detect their presence if the nests are still around you.
