I've decided to aim for "wierdness".
[X] Strange Corkscrew Structures
[X] Vile Cysts
[X] Pulsating Membrane
The Viscous Substance, on the other hand, makes me think "blood", and "slug/hagfish slime". Blood is of course commonly related to immune function, but we don't actually know where this stuff came from. It could be breast milk, for instance.

Why would "corkscrew" say "sonar" to you? Do you think sound here is circularly polarized or something?dragoongfa wrote:The Diaphram and the corkscrew structures sound related to their sonar like abilities.
Which I expect won't be translatable to Humanity any faster than just researching Jump Sickness. Any benefit from Brain will probably be from something else.dragoongfa wrote:Well...
I would say that the Brain is a must at first glance. Since the whales do not show any signs of Jump sickness the nervous system must have something to do with it.
Vile Cysts are probably either what you think, or some sort of reproductive/excretory/etc system. I suppose that they could use them for sound detection (ala Ampullae of Lorenzini), but that's all I can think of.dragoongfa wrote:The Viscous substance and the vile cysts sound weird at first but they may be related to their immune system with everything that entails in medical research.

Or maybe they'll have a useful substance, e.g. carbon nanotubes.dragoongfa wrote:Skeletal and Circulatory system would show us any potential weakness.
Maybe a fetus, maybe an "escape organ" that can take the most recent of the whale's memories and start the maturation process again, maybe a parasite, maybe a biological tracking device.dragoongfa wrote:The Pulsating Membrane, I don't know what that will be.
