"What is it that makes humans tick? Jump into the body and travel between organs. Follow the journey of blood and learn how humans function." ― Information Tab
Anatomy of Life is a limited time event which focuses on the Human Body. This event features 43 upgrades and 10 generators that produce either Deoxygenated Blood 
or Oxygenated Blood 
.
Story[]
Opening[]
"I'm consistently surprised by the ingenuity of humans. Could their biology be the source? After all, humans have an organic form. I do not. How do humans work? What makes them different from myself?"
Ending[]
"Just as I have nodes connected to an inner engine, humans are a sum of many parts working in unison. Humans have individual systems that are bound together, sustained by the blood running through them. They work like well-constructed machines. Maybe we're not as different as I thought."

" Every nerve in the body connects to the brain, the center of cognitive function. "
" Each breath a human takes provides oxygen to the lungs. As blood passes through this organ, it obtains this essential element, now ready to return to the heart. "
" The heart tirelessly pumps blood throughout the body, providing organs with the oxygen and nutrients needed for human to live. "
