Organus Sempris
The Organus Sempris were born in the laboratories where many Semper Mort first opened their eyes, and that proximity to the moment of awakening shaped everything that followed. This sub-sect studies the changes occurring to Strains, animals, and undead with a singular focus: unraveling the secrets of the augmented evolutionary process driven by the Infection. Where other Darwinists see the Infection as a force to be survived or harnessed, the Organus Sempris see it as the key to evolving beyond the confines of the flesh.
Their theoretical framework builds on the cohabitation of diseases in pre-Fall human bodies and how the increased toxicity of the body reacted to initial contact with the Infection. The Infection, having caused thousands of different variations in the former human condition, must hold patterns and principles that, once decoded, could unlock the next stage of evolution. The research tracks changes in Strains, monitors mutations in animals, and studies the behavior of the undead as expressions of the same underlying process viewed from different angles.
The sub-sect's origins in Semper Mort awakening laboratories give their work a particular urgency. They have seen firsthand what the Infection can create when it interacts with human biology under extreme conditions. The question they pursue is not whether the Infection transforms; that much is obvious. The question is whether the transformation has a direction, and whether that direction can be understood, predicted, and ultimately guided. Pre-existing disease as the variable that made Strain evolution possible is their central hypothesis, and they test it with the patience of researchers who believe the answer is already written in the flesh of every living thing.

Structure
No formal hierarchy or internal leadership structure has been documented. The Organus Sempris operate as a sub-sect of the Church of Darwin, presumably following the broader Church's organizational framework. Their focus is research-driven, centered on laboratories and study rather than a command hierarchy.
Public Agenda
Unravel the secrets of the Infection's augmented evolutionary process by studying the changes occurring to Strains, animals, and undead. The Organus Sempris believe the Infection holds the key to evolving beyond the confines of the flesh.
History
The Organus Sempris originated in and around the laboratories where many Semper Mort were first awakened. That proximity to the sites of awakening shaped the sub-sect's obsession with the Infection's role in creating new forms of existence. Where other Darwinist sub-sects looked at the Infection as one factor among many, the Organus Sempris made it their singular focus.
Their research developed a theoretical framework based on the cohabitation of diseases in pre-Fall human bodies. They theorized that the increased toxicity of the body at the time of initial Infection contact determined how the mutation expressed itself. This framework drives their ongoing study of changes occurring to Strains, animals, and undead, all in pursuit of the keys to evolving beyond the confines of the flesh.
