General Information
Fossil is the ninth main character featured in Objectified in the episode "Research and Development", which released August 26th in 2022. Fossil communicates with Painkiller over the internet/text before finally getting a chance to meet them after traveling to the Rings to aid Carrot in his work after he was respawned not too long prior and needed to recover. She insists that Painkiller should skip work, them only agreeing because someone could cover their shift at what one can only assume is a hospital or medical center, due to Painkiller's attire and description as an RN (registered nurse). Fossil makes their first physical appearance at a train station in High Society, where she grabs Painkiller's arm as they're mid-sentence and forcefully drags them to her car. They drive to Carrot's lab in silence, Painkiller suggesting that they at least listen to the radio but Fossil insisting that it's a bad idea. When they arrive at the lab, Fossil exerts extreme paranoid and hostile behavior towards Painkiller before revealing the outbreak to them using the television in the room that they're in. In the episode "Bug Catching", Fossil reveals that Carrot has been assimilated and that their first initiative together will be to capture him. They take stun batons from Carrot's lab and travel into the forest in the dark, much to Painkiller's dismay. The act of capturing Carrot proves to be surprisingly easy as he is stationary in the same spot that he was assimilated, unmoving and not reacting to their presence. Fossil reveals beforehand that the stun baton is to shock and kill the parasites crawling through the grass on the forest floor, then takes a hatchet to the base of Carrot's body, toppling him and covering him in some sort of net to drag him to a chute back at the lab with Painkiller, where he is dropped inside supposedly to have tests run on him later. Despite being friends online, Fossil and Painkiller don't seem to get along at all in real life. They're almost constantly bickering and there's a clear tension between them that causes Painkiller to repeatedly suspect that Fossil is some sort of deranged serial killer.
